changed between the sheriff and his son
John, in front of the city hall, on ono

but no one was injured. After this
both parties determined to have 1T out.

walking south on Central avenue at
about half past O'Clock when they
met Sheriff Williams and his two sons,
John and Coffey, and Ed Spears, dep
uty sheriff, in front Of Lemp's beer de-

batant, were dead, and John Williams
mortally wounded. He died about an
hour later. Louis Hinkle attempted to
separate the combatants at the COM

and died instantly. The mayor imme-
diately after the shooting appointed
Judge L. D. Belding chief of police,
who lad posse of deputies sworn in at
once. There was little factional feel.

village of 700 inhabitants, five miles
northwest of the foothills. The troops
first encountered the rebel outposts in
the dense jungle on the banks of the
river. The enemy was dislodged after
half an hours fighting. The Americans
advanced in splendid manner under a
heavy fire until they were ready to
volley the rebels from their trenches.
The latter had great advantage and
dropped q number of our men. The
Americans charged across the rice fields,
making four advances on the enemy,
who numbered 1000 men, 500 of whom
were entrenched, and in the face of a
cross fire, our troops carried the town
after four hours fighting and burned
the outskirts. the rebels firing from the

Scene at the Jail.
PALMETTO, Ca, March 17.-Four
dead negroes lie in Johnson's ware
house. Beside them, groaning in
agony, are five of their race, all vic
tins of an assault made by white men
of this neighborhood early this morn
ing. This little city has had two in
cendiary fires, which have almost de-
stroyed it, since January I, and the ne
groes which were shot down while
begging for mercy lie where they fell
on the blood-soaked floor OF the i'm
provised Jail. The dead:
BUD CoTToN.
HENRY BINGHAM.
TIP HUTsoN.
ED BROWN.
Dying
John Bigby.
Wounded:
Glen Watts, shot in abdomen.
George Taylor wounded in thigh.
lsham Brown. shot in body.
John Jamison, arm fractured
The citizens are patrolling the main
streets of the town and dispensing an
occasional group Of muttering negroes,
who seem determined to get some form
of revenge for the slaughter Of four Of
their race.
The scene at Johnson's warehouse,
where the nine negroes were confined
and which is now filed with dead and
dying, is revolving and miserable one.
Blood covers the floor and blackened
walls are indented with rife shots.
Wives and children of the negroes are
kneeling by their sides in the dimly
lighted room and piercing the air with
cries and means of anguish.
The mob was composed Of 100 men.
Where they came from is mystery so
far as the people Of the town know.
That some of the people of Palmetto.
but not the better class, were in the
mob goes without saying. Every face
was masked and when the warehouse
was reached the special guard Of five
men was covered without q word. In q
minute the mob was in the big ware:
house and the fusillade opened. The
frightened negroes sent up yell after
yell. begging for mercy, but it had no
effect on the mob. When it's work was
finished the masked mob turned and
quickly disappeared, as it had come, on
horseback

SALvOS TO THE SHERMAN
Landing or the Returned California
Volunteers.

San Francisco, Aug. 24.-An morning
the city was in a state of feverish ex-
citement dua to the arrival ,art night off
the Golden Gate Of the transport Sher-
man with the First California volun-
teers and batteries A and D of the Cal
ifornia artillery. The Sherman lay at
anchor just outside the Golden Ge,te.
Every vessel in the bay was decorated
and the noise made by the whistles
and bells was deafening. The start of
welcoming vessels for the Golden Gate
was made at II o'clock and the Sher-
man reached a point opposite Fort
Point a.. 1 O'Clock AS the big trans
port neared the gate the national sa-
lue was fired from the forts and from
the battleship Iowa. At signal from
Commodore Spreckles, the yachts and
tugs formed, in the designated order
and proceeded up the bay. When the
transport reached the government
dock an order to disperse was given
to the accompanying vessels and the
water celebration was over.
The juIbilations over the safe return
of the volurSeers are bctng continued
tonight without any s.gn of diminu-
t;cn of The joyful enthusiasm with
which the arrival of the Sherman was
greeted last evening. 1T had been
supposed that tha somewhat hilan0us
happiness of the people would soon
wear itself out, but more than twenty
four hours of practically a continuous
demonstration seems to have abated in
no degreei tine general excitement. AS
the transport with the boys still on
board lies off the dock tonight she is
the center of a splenGid marine il
Illumination. Steamers, tugs and
launches, all moving masses of light,
are sailing around and about the Sher-
man, sending up rockets and Roman
candles and burning red fire, while
whistles maintain a continuous toot-
ing.
There are simultaneously pyrotech-
NC displays from the offices of the
dairy newspapers, from public build
ingS and points along the water front
The new ferry building and city hall
are brilliantly irlum na,.ed and there
is universal rivalry in an effort to
make the hCme coming cls the troops
an ideally happy as we'll as a mem
oraible event. The grand parade will |
be held tomorrow.

TOO WELL ARMED

can Peace.

Cape Town, Aug. 24.-The De-agoa
bay incident, coupled with the recant
transit of a large amount of ammuni-
tion, has directed the a,staEf ION of
British officials to the immense ac-
clEmu-2tiOns Of war munitions in the
South African republic and the Trans
vaal. The optlanders bsdng debarred
from carrying arms, the supply of
weapons, as shown in the Lorenzo
Marquee, Delag0a Bay, returns for
three years, is greatly in excess of the
burgheTs' Tsquiremert5s and frequently
there is growing feeling in the Brit
.Sh comuLLty in South Africa that no
settlement Of the existing crisis will
insure peace unless it includes a pro-
vision for the reduction of armamens.

MONTReAL BANK FAILURE
Vile nsrie'S DepoSifors May Re-
CeiVe So Per Cent.

Montreal, Canada, Aug. 24-At a
meeting of the deposltcrs of the Vile
Marie bank held here last evening. H.
L. Kent, accountant, who had been
appointed to represent the depositors
in the winding up Of the banks affairs,
reported that the conclusion he had
arrived at from his inspection of the
banks affairs was that the depositors
could not get more than fifty cents on
the dollar The assets of the bank he
figured at S1S66,000 at the present
Time. From that sum must be de-
ing a difference of 81, 100000 in favor
Of the depositors. From that amount,
however, must come the circulation to
be redeemed, and that, of course, could
hardly be guessed at the present time
Putting it at high igura-say $780,
000-wou,d leave something like $780,
900. To that sum must be added the
funds which would come from the
double liability clause.
Mr. Kent is of the opinion that
about $4,000 may be collected from
that source, which would give S715, 1000,
about SO per cent, to be divided among
the depositors. Mr.. Kent added that
:he authorized note circulation of the
bank was s265, 900, but circumstances
would indicate that there had been
an over-circulation CT 100000.
The depositors will again meet on
Saturday to prepare for the general
meeting of creditors in the court house
on Monday. The creditors have de-
cided to indorse Messrs. Garand and
Kent, the liquidators now in charge,
as permanent liquidators.

WAR OF MAGNITUDE
Another View of the Filipino
InSurreCfiOn.
Whether Ended in Weeks or In Years
Depends Upon the Adoption of
or the Failure TO Adopt a Change
of Tactics.

Manila, July 22.-(V;a San Francis
CO. Aug 24.)-In Manila the talk OF
ending the war deals no longer wttn
weeks, but with months and even
years. Whether the end comes after
a few months or a few years depends
upon wneJhar the same sCrt Of tactics
which dragged through five months and
square inches to the foot OF the map of
Luzon shall ibe continued or whether
methods Of striking the; enemy fast
and repeatedly and holding the cou1-
try gained, be substituted. Among the
mass of people here, military msn and
foreign residents, there is but one
opinion.
The whole effort of the insurgents
for three months was to hold off the
Americans until their ally, the rains,
arrived Unless affairs lake some un-
forseen turn the FTlipincs will resume
the war this fall with fresh spirit and
repIenished stock of arms and am
munition. One shipload Of arms, it is
learned on good authority, has reached
them Within the past week.
OF money the insurrection has no
lack. The insurgents control the re-
sources of a large and exceedingly rich
country, and even though no crops
were haz vested for several years they
could still obtain enough cash and
supplies by lmpressfng TO their use the
treasures of the church, the store
houses of farmers and manufacturers
and the funds Of private individuals, a
system Of levy which they have loog
enforced with considerable success.
All ships coming and going in the
ports recently opened to trade pay a
heavy tTfbUte to the ;nsurrection.
Much of the profits of this informal
sort of government are supposed to go
ir..o the pockets of the leaders, ex-
cepting Aguinaldo, who is generally
acquitted of enriching himsslf by the
present war, but when the public
treasury becomes empty the poll
ticfans who are exploiting Aguinaldo
may, If they seie a possibility of sue
cess, consider the war a good private
investment. Reports brougt.c through
the lines to the Spaniards and Fill
pines in this city are that the spirit
of insurrection is growing.
