CITIZENS ARMED.
Precautions Taken Against a Negro
uprising in Palmetto.

Palmetto, Ca, April Harmed men pa
troll the streets of this little town tonight
No uprising of the negro element is antici-
paed, but the men of Palmetto, who early
in the day closed Their places of business
and Joined the posse pursuing the negro,
Sam Hose, who brutally murdered farmer
Alfred Crawford and assaulted his wife,
took this precautionary measure for the
protection of their families. The negro has
not been caught. but is surrounded In a
swamp between this city and Newman.
Hoses hiding place is a dense thicket four
miles long and equally as wide, and as he
entered it late yesterday he fired a parting
shot at one of his pursuers who sought to
d sable him and bring him back to Palmet-
to alive The swamp is completely sur
rounded, and the negro's escape is impos-
sible.
The funeral of Alfred Crawford was held
today. His wife stood by his grave, but
showed no, sign of emotion. 1t is feared
that her mind has become unbalanced as a
result of the terrible ordeal she has Just
passed through, and that she will collapse
completely when she hears that her negro
assailant has been caught and iynched.

SECRETARY ALGER
WILL NOT RESIGN
Emphatic Denial That He Con-
templates Retiring.
WILL RET AIN HIS PORTFOLIO
Throughout His Term of Office Unless
Some Unforeseen and Unlocked for
Contingency Arises-Says Ru-
mors Were Malicious
WILL RET AIN HIS PORTFOLIO

Washington, April 14-Secretary Alger
tonight put an effective quietus on the re-
ports that he contemplated retirement from
the cabinet by a positive and unequiyocal
statement that the reports were absolutely
without foundation and that unless some
unforeseen and unlocked for contingency
arises he proposes to remain secretary of
war throughout this administration.
Secretary Ager had his attention called
to recent rumors that he would resign after
the investigation into the conduct of the
war and incident matters and his successor
already had been determined upon. He
said all statements of that character were
false; that he has not entertained any such
intention and that they were instigated
with the evident purpose of attempting to
force him to leave the cabinet. He said
he proposed to pay no attention whatever
to these attacks.
He authorized the Associated Press to
make an absolute denial of the reports of
his contemplated resignation and to an
nounce once for all, in the strongest terms
possible that he would remain in his pres
ent Office throughout the regular term of
office.

LAWTON CHASING
FLEEING REBELS
WeiSenberger's Sharpshooters
Ambushed by Natives.
FIVE AMERICANS KILLED
Main Body of Our Troops Were at Din
ner When the Skirmish Occurred
San Antonio Entered With
out any Resistance.

Manila, April 14-7:55 p. m.-General
Lawton is marching north, along the road
between the hills and the lake with the
gunboats Napidau and Laguna de Bay
abreast of his troops. The enemy is re-
treating northward
On Wednesday the troops crossed the
Pagbanjan and concentrated at Lambun,
at the mouth of the river. After leaving
two companies of the Fourteenth regiment
to guard the entrance of the river the
troops marched to Longas and found it de-
serted. Furniture which had been dropped
in the flight of the natives was scattered
along the trails leading into the hills.
Major Weisenberger's sharpshooters were
sent toward Pactos Ancontonia in the af-
ternoon. They ran upon nest of rebels
in some thick bushes, which afforded a
splendid cover. Five men of the North
Dakota regiment were killed and two were
wounded, two of the former dying after
having been brought to Lonagas church
where Father McKinnon administered the
sacrament to them.
The main body of the American troops,
while at dinner in Lonagas, heard the fir
ing and advanced to the support of the
sharpshooters. A scout from a hill saw
the little fight and many white coats rum
ming into the hills. The Laguna de Bay
at the beginning of the fight shelled the
hills making them too hot for the enemy.
The Americans entered San Antonio at
sunset without meeting with any resist
arce. Twenty unarmed prisoners, bearing
copies of the proclamation of the United
States Philippine commission, which they
had somehow secured, were afterwards re-
leased and sent outside our lines with
bundles of proclamations to distribute.
The Fourth cavalry is guarding Santa
Cruz.
Two companies of the Fourteenth regi-
ment are at the mouth of the river, two
are at Pasig and two al Lambun, and one
of the Fourteenth regiment and four of
the North Dakota regiment are at San
Antonio. The remainder of the troops are
at Longas. General Lawton is on board
the Lagun de Bay and the Cascoes are off
San Antonio. The country just occupied
is thickly populated and produces much
fruit.
McKenna, of the signal corps. is inde-
fatieable. He ran a wire through the hos
tile country without having a guard with
him.

court. Later he asked that Mr.. CarrolPs
refusal to answer questions be reported to
the legislature. The cause of all this was
the question as to whether Mr.. Carroll had
any connection with the Consolidated Ice
company or whether he had any stock
therein. IT developed during the examina-
ton that Mr.. Carroll had given up a
1880 job to accept his present one in Tam
many Hall, which theoretically is without
salary.
Mr.. Moss pointed out that Mr.. Carroll
was without visible means of support and
was technically a pauper. The witness,
however, denied this while at the same
time he denied that he was receiving a
salary from Mr.. Croker or from Tammany
Hall or from anybody that the counsel
could name.
Dare you tell of the money you have
received In the last thirty daysg' asked
Mr.. Moss, to which Mr. Carroll replied "I
decline to answer such questions. You
can't frighten me-"
Mr.. Carroll made the admission that
what Mr.. Croker says goes" and accord
ing TO him, also 1t goes with everybody con-
nected with Tammany Hall or holding his
office through the good wishes of that or
ganization.

Vas Jealous Of the Dead Mans Intimacy
With Mrs. AIthOuSe.
CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF CUTIcLE
Scraped from Mrs. Georges Hand Was
Ruled Out By the Court-Au
Not Smooth Sailing
for the State

Canton, o., April H.-During the trial of
Mrs. Anna George today numerous threats
by Mrs. George against the life of George
D. Saxton were testified to by witnesses.
Many of the statements were coupled with
Mrs. Georges story of the alleged wrongs
to her at Saxtons hands which she told
the witnesses in connection with her
threats.
All was not smooth sailing for the state
today. The prosecution had expected to
identify a chemical analysis of the cuticle
taken from Mrs. Georges hands when she
was arrested and prove thereby that the
discoloration was due to powder smoke.
The witness was not allowed to testify.
The courts ruling on this point was based
on the fact that the cuticle was scraped
from her hands while she was under arrest
and in the custody of officers, amounting
to duress, and also on testimony that the
quantity was SO small as to make analysis
very dffficult

Another Disappointment.
Another disappointment was the failure
of a witness to satisfy the court that he
was qualified to judge of Mrs Georges
writing and thus identify a letter which
1t was sought to prove she had written
Additional cross-examination of Mrs.
Mary Finley opened the days proceedings.
This was chiefly directed toward proving
that the witness had been coached for her
direct testimony.
Mrs. Mary Nauman related conversations
of Mrs. George In one of the latter she
told of having kept Saxton from entering
the Althouse home by presenting a pistol
and making him come away with her Mrs
George asked Saxton if he was ready to
die there, and said she could have killed
him then, but wanted her husband Mr.
George, to get some of his money first
She also detailed other threats made by
Mrs. George.
In cross-examining Mrs Nauman, the de-
ferse sought to have her to relate Mrs
Georges grievance against Saxton as they
had been given her In conversations. She
stoutly insisted that in neither of the con-
versations in which threats had been made
had Mrs. George told her of the wrongs
she claims Saxton inflicted upon her
Hence the story was not related.
Threatened to Kill saxton.
Mrs. Nettie McAllister detailed a CONVEX
sation with Mrs. George about a threat to
Kill Saxton about the pistol incident at the
Althouse place and the threatening letters.
MRS. McAllister related what Mrs. George
SAID OF her grievances about Saxton
Fred L. Jackson, a colored janitor. testi-
ned that Mrs. George often came to him
at the block where he worked and said to
him she would kill Saxton If he did not

Althouse.
Mrs DR.. Maria Prontius. who made the
search of Mrs George in the police court
after her arrest, was called to identify a
package in which she had enclosed the
cuticlc scraped from the stained portion of
Mrs. Georges hand.

BORE THE NEWS BRAVELY.
Rudyard kipIing Informed of His
Daughter JOsephine's Death.

NEW YORK, March 10.-"Mr. Kipling is
still improving" said Mr.. Doubleday to-
night. Mr.. Fipling had taken some sweet
breads for supper and had been able to eat
more of solid food than at any time since he
became i'll.
Unable to keep Mr.. Kipling in ignorance
of his favorite Josephine's death, the news
was broken TO him tonight by Dr. Dun
ham. The blow was heavy one, but the
father bore up bravely.
How long was she ill?" he asked.
He was then told as much as the attend
ants thought wise. Tears stood in the
poets eyes and he murmured half to him
self, half aloud, Poor little joe" II was
thus he always called the little one.
The doctors believe IL was best TO break
the news, as the worry and distrust he
seemed TO have in all the replies given 10
his queries about the little one would have
probably been more harmful than 10 let him
have the truth. For two days Mr.. Kipling
had made repeated inquiries for his chill
dren. He asked the nurse and DR.. Dunham
when he might see them, and he was par
ticularly anxious 10 see Josephine. His
nurse found it very difficult TO invent some
new excuse TO gain time. The father
seemed To have some inkiing that some
thing was wrong. and his continually re-
peated requests for Josephine were most
pathetic
