NEGROES QUlETIEG DOWN
And Portion OF the Georgia Troops Have
Been withdrawn.

Been Withdrawn.
ATLANTA, Ga, August 21.-Gov. Cand-
Ter kept in close communication with Col.
Lawton, of the First Georgia regiment, all
day and expressed satisfaction at the en-
couraging messages received from the
scene of trouble in Mcintosh county. Early
in the afternoon Col. Lawton wired the
Governor that the situation had greatly
improved and that the arrest of Delegal
had broken up all armed resistance in the
part of the negroes. Col. Lawton asked
permission to withdraw a portion of his
men, and Governor Gambler left it in the
discretion of the colonel of the First Geor-
gia. This evening the Governor was mott
fed that half of the Savannah regiment
had left Daren for their homes, leaving
the town in control of the Liberty indie
pendent cavalry and two companies of the
First Georgia regiment. 1t was evident
from the kilograms of Col. Lawton that he
did not expect the negro mob to give up
so soon.
DARIEN, Ca, August 27.-There
were no hosbilities between the blacks
and the military to-day, though the
negroes remained armed. There re-
mains something more than 200 SOL
diers on duty These will remain until
after the sitting of the special term OF
the superior court which has been called
to meet on Wednesday to try John De-
legal for the murder of Deputy Sheriff
Townsend. The special term will also
try Henry Delegal, the negro about
whom all the trouble has arisen. and
the thirty-five black rioters who are
now confined in the Savannah Jail.
1t is probable that special train and
a military escort will bring the rioters
from Savannah for trial. There are
still several hundred armed negroes in
the swamp. A heavy rain has fallen to-
day, which will probably do much to-
wards dampening their aTdOr.

story of captured soldier OF the Filipino
army as told by himself. with only the
necessary idiomatical changes, and the whole
may be taken as a fair setting forth Of the situa-
ton as viewed by soldier of the nsurgent
army When brought from Bacolor to these
headquarters there was in his eyes that look of
fear so commonly seen among the ignorant
when brought before those in authority. on
that day General Wheeler had him brought be-
fore him. and 1t was only with difficulty that
ANYTHING could be learned from the poor, shak-
ing creature. notwithstanding the fact that the
General used his most kindly manner and at
first asked only trivial questions To-day how
ever when an American officer entered the
prison room in the old convent that is used as
Headquarters Of the interior guard, change IN
look and demeanor was manifest soldier
though captive. he brought his hand up
smartly in salute and when the courtesy had
been returned began voluble but dignihed eN-

him by our men. and in answer 10 questions
