troops IN the Philippines, show that
Aguinaldo's army is using brass tipped
bullets.
Several American soldiers have been
wounded by the poisonous projectiles.

more difficult to heal than those caused
by the ordinary bullet. OF course, the
authorities can do nothing to prevent
the insurgents using amy kind Of bull

Their action in this respect, officials

SHERMAN IMPROVING.
Sick Statesman Was Able to Appear
on Deck Yesterday.

Santiago, March 23.-Mr. Sherman is
feeling very much better this evening,
and his physicians regard his condition
as very much improved. During the
afternoon he sat on the deck of the
Paris, viewing Santiago. The United
States cruiser Chicago is expected here
by daybreak tomorrow, and Mr.. Sher-
man will be Immediately transferred
to her. The anxiety of his relatives on
the Paris is virtually at an end.
The party of tourists on the Paris
has made the most of the day, visiting
every accessible spot. crowding the
battlef1elds, buying relics and even
paying fabulous prices for machetes
that have been shipped from the Unit
ed States since the war. Various ex-
cursions have been taken during the
day, one to San Luis, another to Nor
TO castle and a, third to view the wreck
of the destroyed cruisers of Admiral
Cervera's squadron, the Viscaya and
Almirante Oquendo.
Tonight a banquet and ball to citi-
zens of Santiago will be given by the
tourists, and the Paris will leave in
the morning about o'clock.

and at his death the negroes let the
matter out and the citizens became
greatly enraged. Another negro named
Joe King remarked that Stockton
| should have been murdered sooner. He
was taken to the woods and whipped,
as was also John Johnson Other ne
groeS made threats, but nothing oc-
CURED until yesterday, when the dead
body of Goodwin was found hanging
to tree just across Red river from
the Stockton farm in Bowie county,
Texas. He formerly worked for Stock
ton and was chased across Mud creek.
The place where the trouble occurred
is several miles from any town of COM
munication and it is difficult to obtain
details, as the people are very reluc-
tant about giving out the news. A
justice of the peace went to where
Goodwin was hanged.
Advices from New Boston, Tex, to-
night are to the effect that across the
river several negroes have been
lynched. This morning Benjamin
Jones was found dead on Hurricane
Bend, and from New Boston it is
learned that Joe King and Moses Jones
were found hanging to trees at Horse
shoe Curve today. Another Jones is
missing. In the gang that was plotting
for a race war were twenty-three ne
groes, and it is likely that the entire
number have been strung up in the
tIlicketS.
The negroes are fleeing from the dis
trict. Today three wagons full arrived
at Texarkana, having crossed Red
river at Index at midnight last night.
They were greatly frightened. The
citizens of Little River county have
suffered much recently from lawless-
ness Some months ago the two races
clashed at Allene, at sawmill, and a
small riot followed. From all accounts
it seems that with Duckett, seven of
the ringleaders have been killed.

Washington, March 23.-The navy de-
partment is gratified to learn that its
representatives who have been working
for some time in the vicinity of Santi-
ago and Guantanamo have succeeded
in adding another vessel to the Amer
lean navy, in the shape of the gunboat
Baracoa. which was reported to have
been towed into Santiago, as stated in
the Associated Press dispatch from
Santiago. The Baracoa was one of the
Spanish gunboats sunk near Guam
tanano She is a useful type of vessel
for patrol work, and is about 80 per
cent larger than the gunboats Sandoval
and Alvarado, now at the Washington

Its Plans.

Chicago, March 23.-It was announced
today by W. T. Blaine, president of the
Victor Telephone Manufacturing COM

telephone combination which is to be

that the new company controls twenty
Independent telephone manufacturing

best-known financial institutions in the
country are back of the movement and
that the principals were able to carry
out the extensive plans Of the organ

The new company was organized for
the purpose of supplying telephone ap-

Cleveland. o., March 2S.-The Iron
Trade Review says: The movement to
consolidate western and southern roll
ing mills has made Roadway in the past
week, and nearly all the necessary OD-
tions have been secured. Less outside
money will be invested, proportionately,
than in other recent iron and steel COM
bines. The promoters announce that
organization will probably be effected
within the next two weeks. The capital
proposed is S15,000O00, and thirty-si
western mills. large and small, fit and

probable headquarters.

vices confirm the arrival of Admiral
Kautz and the convoking by him OF
meeting of ali the officials on the 1lth
inst, but they do not show what re-
suited from the meeting. All their re-
ports are silent thus far on this point,
but the German view is evidently one
of apprehension lest serious results
may grow out of the meeting, IN Wnlcn
event the German view is that the re-
sponsibilities should be borne by those
bringing about the meeting. Further
than this. questions are arising as to
the extent of authority Of the British
and American consuls, acting together.
to do anything without the concurrence
of Consul Rose of Germany. The Ger
man view evidently holdsthat the Ber-
lin treaty requires the three consuls 10
act unanimously, and not through
majority. Another question is as to
the right of the naval commander to
take any political action.

DR.. Lapponi, the pope's physician, has

MURDER OF A MISSIONARY.
Latest Victim Belonged to the United
Brethren.

New York, March 23.-Inquiry among
the officers of the foreign mission board
in this city regarding the dispatch from
London reporting the murder of an
American missionary and his wife and
the taking into captivity Of his two
daughters by natives of the Mendi dis
trict, Sierra Leone, revealed the fact
that none of the larger boards had mis-
scenarios in that part Of West Africa.
The missionary alliance has men in
Sierra Leone, but one of its officers said
that all it's representatives were young
and unmarried. From the same source
it was learned that the murdered mis-
sionary was probably one of the
United Brethren missionaries. Their
headquarters are in Pennsylvania. Six
or eight months ago several of the
United Brethren missionaries of this
same district were killed and others Of
them driven to the coast and their
property destroyed. 1t was not until

The expedition referred to in the
foregoing dispatch is in line with the
efforts of Professor Koch to mitigate
tropical fevers. When he returned last
year from similar expedition to the
German East African coast he ad-
vanced the theory that, in the case of
human beings, mosquitoes played the
part of communicating malaria which
ticks played in the cattle disease known
as Texas fever" He had reached the
conclusion that where there are mos
ouitoes there is always malaria, and
where there are no mosquitoes there is
no malaria Moreover, he reported it
was possible by microscopic examina-
ton of the blood of patient to discover
from the nature of the microbes the
exact stage which the disease had
reached.

who has just returned from q trip to

the rumor that the companies controll-
ed by NJ. Guggenheim's Sons are to
enter the, neWly-fOUnded smelter trust,
positively denied any intention on the
part of the firm to take such action. He
asserted that the s11,000,000 of stock
which the trust is reported to have set
aside for the purchase of the Guggen-
helm plants would not begin to pay
for them. At Pueblo, Colo, they have
lead and copper smelter; a lead and
copper refinery at Perth Amboy, n. J.;
a lead smelter at Monterey, Mexico, and
a. lead and copper snelter at Aguas
Calientes, Mexico. Three of their lead
smeIters are the largest plants of their
kind in the world, and the capacity of
their lead refinery at Perth Amboy is
sufficient to handle half the lead bull
lion produced in this country. All these
plants are the exclusive property of the
Guggenheims, who are also large min
ing operators. owning extensive copper,
lead and silver mines in the United
States and Mexico.
Mr. Guggenheim stated that when the
smelter trust was first projected, his
firm was invited to participate, but de-
clined' to entertain any proposition Of
the kind.
