Darien, Ga, Aug. 27.-While all was
quiet here last night the day was n
Of great anxiety and intense excite
ment among the white people. An
outbreak by the negroes has been no.
mentarily expected since the killing by
John Delagell, a negro, Of Thomas
Townsend, a prominent citizen and
deputy sheriff Of this county.
Yesterday Sheriff Blount sent the
following to Gov. Gambler: please
order Liberty independent troops to
report to me at once Situation criti-
cal. One deputy killed, another wound
ed"
Col. A. r. Lawton, late commander
of the Second Georgia regiment, U. s.
", also wired the governor to send a
quantity of carbines and supply of am
munition for the soldiers. Col. Lawton
is now here In command Of the militia,
and has enough men, it is believed to
easily handle the situation. The sheriff
and his deputies continue to make ar
rests of the rioting negroes. The situ-
alton here is regarded as critical, al
though, with determined military con-
troll it is thought further trouble a
be prevented. 1t is estimated that tn"
negroes outnumber the white people in
this part of Georgia seven to one, and
the whites are consequently appre
hensive.
The seventy-five members of the
First Georgia who were left here two
days ago. when old man Dalget was
taken to Savannah, are now patrolling
the town. All saloons are closed and
the stricteSt order is maintained.
Nearly every negro left town yester-
CAV morning, and word comes that
they are massed at Dalgets swamp,
twelve miles from town. A posse OF
citizens left for the place on n special
train at 8 o'clock. They will maintain
q guard over the negroes and keep
them from doing any damage during
the night. A telegram was sent to
Savannah for all white men to come to
Darien. The presence of the white
mel is wanted to overawe he negroes,
who are here in great number. Troops
have been ordered in readiness at
Savannah. The ordering out Of these
troops is in the discretion Of Col.
LaWtOn.
will Move Against Negroes.
Later - A conference was held at II
o'clock last night between Sheriff
Blount, militia officers and a citizens
committee and it was decided to take
decisive action at daylight against the
negroes. The citizens move from
Darien for the. swamp on a special
train ut 3 O'clock, and the militia, to
the number of $50, one hour later. The
negroes are armed in defiance Of law,
aui the purpose of the military is to
surround the swamp, relieve the blacks
of their arms and arrest them.

Interesting light is thrown upon Agli-
naido and his characteristics by Prof. S.
A. Knapp, special commissioner OF the
Department of Agriculture, WHO has re-
turned 10 Washington from the Ph lin
pines, Japan and China.
He says that at Manila and Hong-Konp
the general sentiment is that Aguinaldo
is Il very much overestimated leader. and
ii is believed that he is ready Ia sell out
his cause for any satisfactory price. Prof.
Knapp states that the Filipino chief
would be easy 10 deal with but for the fact
that he is wholly under the influence and
control Of his party. 1t is openly known
in Manila that Aguinald0's manifestos
are not written by him, but are the work
% a clever Filipino lawyer.
The natives have been held under Sc

they need a strong lessen and then they

One possible exception from the alb
