WHITES AND
NEGROES IN
A BATTLE
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 27-Three
negroes are dead and one is not expected
to live until morning as a result of a riot
between the white and negro miners at
the ore mines near Cardiff, in JEFFERSON
County. The dead are:
ED ELLIS.
JIM DILL.
ADAM SAMUELS.
The wounded: Rudolph Williams;
George Thomas, mortally.
The two races came to a clash late in
the afternoon in Glasgow Hollow, where
the negroes had congregated armed with
Winchester rifles. white man passing
along the road was heldup and roughly
handled This news soon spread and an
armed body of white miners moved to-
ward the Hollow. 1t is supposed it went
around by circuitous route in the noun
tains and came upon the negroes unex-
Ed Wise, the ringleader. armed with a
Winchester and Colts revolver, fell at
the first fire. A rifle bullet did the work.
There was another volley and four other
negroes fell. Jim Dill and. Adam Sam
uels died in a few minutes after pelng
removed to a negro's house. George
Thomas was shot through the abdomen
with a Winchester bullet. He is not eX-
pected to recover. Rudolph Williams
will live.
The trouble started yesterday when it
was thought that John Shepherd, who on
Jones Carcerona, was in that community.
The negroes armed themselves to pre-
vent his capture. Both sides were
aroused, and only the timely arrival of a
Sheriff's posse prevented an outbreak.
This morning the negro miners held q
mass meeting and refused to go to work.
They all belong to secret organization
known as the "Knights of Africa" or the
Mysterious Men" They keep rifles and
ammunition on hand at all times: 1t was
in the afternoon that they gathered i'll
Glasgow Hollow although with what in
tention is not now known.
Influential citizens say that the ring
leaders are now out of the way and they
hope to manage the other negroes.
Shortly after the riot Sheriff O'Brien
left here with hundred armed men. He
has the situation in hand for the time
being although late reports say the ne
groes are talking of avenging the death
of their leaders.
Sheriff O'Brien, who is now at Bloss-
burg, has received a message from
Adamsville three miles from that
place, asking for protection. An armed
body of negroes is gathered In the

QUIETLY WAITING AT
BREST FOR DREYFUS
The Authorities VIII Not Furnish
Any Information as to His



BREST, France. June T.-The delay
in the arrival here Of the French cruis-
er Sfax, which left the waters of French
Guiana on June 10, with Captain Drey-
fus on board, increases the interest in
the landing of the famous prisoner. All
sorts of reports and suppositions are
current. For the moment attention Is
concentrated on the putting to sea this
afternoon of lighthouse relief
steamer. Such vessels usually start in
the morning and return in the evening.
consequently the departure of the
steamer this afternoon has given rise
to the conjecture that she has gone to
meet the Sfax, and that Dreyfus will
be transferred on board of her.
The authorities continue refusing to
furnish the slightest information re-
garding Dreyfus to the regular army
of newspaper men of all nationalities
now gathered here, anxiously seeking
news of the SfaX.
In the meantime the effervescence Of
yesterday evening has quite evaporat-
ed and this evening the inhabitants are
calmly promenading the principal
square, listening to the marine band.

done to hurt England, but 1 would
hardly approve such plan, as it is
too risky, to say the least"
WASHINGTON, June 27.-At the
British Embassy it is stated that no
communications relating to the Trans
vaal have been received, and the pub
lished report that representations had
been made as to the shipment of
American-mad arms to the Beers is
characterized as rubbish. In this con-
nection it appears that a London press
agency recently had a dispatch from
New York stating that American firms
were selling arms to the Beers. This
dispatch came to the attention of
Colonel Lee, British military attache
here, and in the course Of his inquiries
on military affairs he asked as to the
truth Of this dispatch, receiving but
little information beyond the fact that
arms were not likely to be shipped to
the TransVaal, as it had no ports and
no means of receiving them. Colonel
Lee says this Inquiry was entirely on
his own account, and, so far as he
knows, the British Government has
paid no attention to the matter.

 The new movement, it is understood, will be by land and water, although it is not expected that the navy's part in the programme will be particularly prominent Otis has procured thirteen of the gunboats formerly owned by the Spanish government and these are to play an important part in the develop ment of the campaign Many of the troops which had been engaged on the outer lines up to the date of General Lawton's arrival at Manila have been withdrawn to the water front and a complete reorganization of the army is in progress.

BROKE ALL RECORDS.
Highest Price Ever Paid for Texas Cattle Received by M. Sansom
 on the Kansas City Market

Kansas City, March 24.-A convinc- ing argument of Kansas City as against Chicago in being the better market for Texas cattle was given yes terday when M. Sansom, president of the First National bank of Alvarado Tex, sold sixteen Shorthorn dehorned 2-year-old steers for the highest price ever paid for such cattle at the Kansas City, Chicago or St. Louis stock yards
 The cattle were fed at the Alvarado Oil mills and took prize at the Fort Worth fat stock show When placed on the market here they averaged 1,260 pounds, just one pound less than when weighed at Fort Worth and were purchased for the Schwarzschild x SulZberger Packing company for S5.85 per hundred pounds. Another drove of premium cattle, also belonging to MT Sansom, 3-year-olds, which averaged 1,600 pounds, were shipped to Chi cago, where they only brought $500 per hundred.
 It had been the intention of MT. San som to ship all his cattle to Chicago, but through the efforts of the Chicago Live Stock Commission company and the Kansas City delega- gation at Fort Worth, he was
