ROOT MAKES REPORT.
Secretary Discusses Problems Growing
Out of War.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Dealing as it
does with large questions of insular
policy, of army reorganization, of the
future of Cuba and of the campaign in
the Philippines the first annual report
of Secretary Root just made public is
of exceptional interest. The report
begins with a recital of policy followed
in reorganizing the army in accordance
with the necessities arising from
the discharge of state volunteers.
All of the new regiments of volunteers
are in the Philippines or on the way
there. The operations in those islands
are next taken up and the report again
points out that the outbreak, provoked
by the insurgents themselves, was,
from our standpoint, unavoidable.
Frequent reference is made to the re-
port of Gen. Otis to show the magni-
tude of the task set for him with in
adequate forces at his command, and
high tribute is paid to the courage of
the troops whoy in the face Of great
hardships, voluntarily consented to
forego immediate return to their homes
upon the expiration of their terms of
service. The history of the operations
Of the past season is recounted, and
the secretary outlines the plan OF the
present campaign, which began in Oc-
tober.
He recommends that Cuba and Porto
Rico be given substantially the same
treatment as they received under the
Spanish code. He would give our in
sular possessions, to the greatest pos
sible extent, individual freedom, self
government in accordance with their
capacity, just and equal laws, and OPP
portunity for education, for profitable
industry and the development of civil
iZatiOn.

AWFUL FATE METED OUT TO
NEGRO MURDERER.
VICTIM KILLED WOMAN
Kentucky Mob Takes Prisoner From
Officers and Carries Out Brutal De-
sign Undisturbed-Chil Play
With Corpse-Community Upholds
Deed.

Maysville, KY, Dec. 7.-Dick Cole
man, the negro murderer of Mrs.
Lashbrook, was taken from the officers
by mob of 1000 men and burned at
the stake Wednesday.
The mob, led by the husband of the
negro's victim, dragged the shrieking
criminal through the principal streets
of the town, bound him to small tree,
set fire to brush heaped about him and
stood by until he was dead.
Coleman arrived under special
guard of deputies sworn in by the
sheriff, and all the police force. At the
court house they were met by mob
of fully 1000 people, headed by James
Lashbrook, the husband of the muir
dered woman, and went Immediately
up Second street through the central
portion of the city to the hill, followed
by fully 5000 citizens. All was done
that was possible by the sheriff and
guard to prevent lynching, but in the
face of the people, irrespective of color,
it was useless to attempt to do any
thing.
The coroner held an inquest on the
charred remains and rendered the sim
pie verdict, death at the hands of
mob" The body was left lying there.
Relic hunters took away the teeth,
bones and every fragment of the body
they could. All the afternoon children
kept UP the fires on the blackened body
nv throwing on grass and kindling
wood 1t is related that Coleman, Oe-
fore committing the crime, threw pep
per in the victims eyes and one OF the
mob used the same pepper box to throw
pepper in Coleman's eyes as soon as he
was dashed to the stake. The action OF
the mob is universally approved, even
enthusiastically by women, who think
that hereafter they will be safer in con-
sequence.

Burglar Shoots Both In the Home IN
Daylight-Mr. Cheney Head OF
State A. P. A.

Racine, Wis, Dec. AT 10 o'clock
Wednesday forenoon a burglar entered
the residence of the Rev. D. B. Cheney
on Link avenue and was discovered in
the house by Mrs. Cheney, whom he or
dered to throw up her hands. She
screamed for help, whereupon the rob-
Der Immediately leveled his revolver
and shot her twice, one bullet entering
at the right side of the neck and the
other grazing her forehead.
Mr.. Cheney, who was upstairs in his
study, heard her cry and rushed down
only to be met by the burglar, who also
shot him twice with perhaps fatal aim,
one shot entering the left groin and the
other the left breast just above the
heart. The robber Immediately ran
out of the house and made good his
escape.
Just how serious the wounds of Mr..
and Mrs. Cheney are cannot be definite
ly stated but this morning their physi-
clans said they would recover. The
ball which passed through Mrs.
Cu0u0y . u0Ch SIoASu ChC u cIShCc@ ctAA0
penetrated the esophagus, causing =
hemorrhage. The wound in the fore
head, however, is not considered ser
ious. The bullet which entered Mr..
Cheney's groin fortunately did not pen
citrate the abdomen; and the one above
the heart has be4zfocated in the mus
cles of the breast. The bullets have
not yet been removed.
Mr.. Cheney in a statement to the
nurse after the shooting said that he
grappled with the man after he was
shot the first time and that after he fell
he was shot again. The bullets were
from a 32-caliber revolver. Mrs.
Cheney is having continual hem
orrhages and is in a critical condition.
Mayor Higgins offers a reward Of
$500 for the capture of the burglar. No
clue has yet been found.
