No Change of Plans.

WASHINGTON, April "a. = Secretary
Alger said yesterdays battle at Quinga
had not altered the plans of the depart
ment in any degree. General Otis, Gen
eral Lawton, Admiral Dewey and the
Philippines commission all were fully au-
thorized to deal with the situation in the
Philippines according to their best judg-
ment, and the department believed it
would be good policy to refrain from
meddling unnecessarily. The secretary
said that if Otis wants more troops he
shall have them, and meantime the de-
partment will make every effort to
hasten the relief of the volunteer troops
by the regular soldiers.

WANTS SOME
THING IN RETURN
Thinks Right of Entry Through Alaska
to Northwest Territory Would Be
About Right and Will Try to Sc
cure 1t.

New YORK, April PA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Although
willing to abrogate the Clayton-Bnlwer
treaty, Great Britain has made it PLAIN
to the United States that she expects an
equivalent in return for her action. This
equivalent will be exacted during the ne
gotiations of the American-Canadian
commission, which is to resume its ses-
sions in Washington in August next.
It is because of demand for conceE-
sions equal in value to that which will
be given to the United States in the
ab-ogation of the Clayton-Bulwert treaty
that the negotiations have not progressed
with the promptness at first expected.
1t is apparent to the officials now that
Great Britain proposes to use the propo-
sition to abrogate the treaty to further
its own aims in connection with the
settlement of the Alaskan boundary and
reciprocity questions.
Great Britain is determined to make
every effort to secure entry to the North
west Territory through Alaska, and the
United States is not willing to give it to
her. It may be, therefore, that she will
suggest that in return for such an out
let she will surrender all her rights in the
Nicaragua canal.
President Mckinley and Secretary
Hay have determined not to enter into
any negotiations with either Costa Rica
or Nicaragua respecting the Nicaragus
canal until the new isthmain canal COM
mission has submitted its report. The
Nicaragua canal com mission will report
within short time, and the president
will then announce the personnel of the
isthmain commission. The new COM
mission viii then proceed to Panama and
later TO Nicaragua, and it is the expect.
alton of the president that it will submit
its report IN time for consideration early
in the next sesson of congress.

TWO NEGROES
LYNCHED
Yesterdays Terrible Scenes at Newman,
Ca. Re-enacted Near Palmetto
Mob Still dissatisfied and Search
ing for Other Victims.

PALMETTO, Ga, April 24.-The body of
Lige Strickland, the negro implicated by
Sam Hose in the killing of Alfred Gran
ford, was found swinging to the limb of
a tree about mile from town thls morn
ing. The ears and fingers had been cut
off, and on the body was pinned pla-
card bearing these words: "We must
protect our Southern women"
Strickland was negro minister, so
years of age. Hose, just as the torch
was about to be applied to the wood under
him yesterday, admitted that he killed
Cranford, but said Strickland had given
him $12 to do the deed. The confession
of Hose caused great excitement here,
and crowd of men left for Major Thorn
took the negro from the place and
brought him into town.
Major Thomas made a speech to the
mob while they were on his farm, urging
them not to take the negro and saying
he believed the fellow innocent. An
impromptu trial was held in the public
square. Everybody who knew Strick-
land was called upon to give testimony
as to his character. Several negroes en-
ployed by Major Thomas said the negro
was law-abiding citizen and was not
implicated in the Crawford affair. Other
people living near the Thomas place gave
Strickland bad name. There were
several people in the crowd who favored
letting the law take its course, and sug-
gested that the court adjourn to another
place mile from town, where several
people lived who knew Strickland. This
met with approval, and the "court"
moved out into the woods mile away.
Here Strickland was strung up two or
three times in an effort to get his con-
fession, but each time he denied that he
hszd paid Hose to murder Crawford. The
crowd seemed to be evenly divided, and
the speechnaking continued until day
light, when it was decided to take the
preacher to jail at Fairburn. This was

.he last the negro was seen alive.

A couple of farmers coming into town
this morning reported finding the body
of Strickland hanging from the limb of
a tree, and shockingly mutilated. The
city marshal summoned two deputies
and drove to the scene. The body of
Strickland was secured and brought here
for an inquest.
A telephone message received today at

Strickland captured Albert Sewell, ne
gro who expressed himself to the effect
that the death OF every negro should be
avenged, and has put him to death. The
mob is said to be still on hunt for ne
groes, and it is probable two more will
be lynched.

Calumpit.
MANILA, April "a 80 p. m.-Gen-
Hale at 4 O'Clock this afternoon had
crossed Bagdad and reached position
a quarter of mile from Calumpit, thus
commanding the river ford,
Prisoners captured by Hale's troops
say Aguinaldo, General Luna, and the
Filipino staff are at Calumpit with a
great force of Filipino troops.
7:4O p. NJ Before daylight the Fourth
cavalry, with three guns belonging to
the Utah battery, the Nebraska regi-
ment and the Iowa regiment under Hale
were proceeding in the direction of
Kulnhun, where the Bagdad lTibabag)
is fordable, but commanded by trenches.
During the afternoon the troops crossed
the river.
Generals Macarthur and Wheaton,
with the Montana regiment, advanced
to the left of the railroad, and the Kan-
sas regiment moved forward to the right,
north OF Malolos. They had with them
long supply train with two armed cars
in front carrying two Gatlings and Colts
rapid-fre guns, and the six-pounders.
The insurgents attempted to destroy
their bridge outside of Calumpit, and
succeeded in badly warping the iron
framework. AS soon as the soldiers
left the Filipino capital, the natives be-
gan focking in, as they did at Santa
Cruz before the last boat of General
Lawton's expedition had sailed. Our
army is compelled to abandon all towns
when an onward movement is COM
menced, because OF insufficient men to
garrison them.
