TRIAL OF GUNBoAT NEWPORT.
Satisfactory Performance Alter Be- Ing seven Months Out of Dry-
 dock-ier steaming Radius.

Washington, Aug. 16.--Another sat isfactory trial of the gunboat Newport has been made. After the Newport had been year and half in commis- sion and seven months out of drydock in run of 156 hours she made slight ly over eight knots m hour with a coal consumption of slightly over II tons per day. As her bunkers hold 232 tons of coal this indicates steam. ing radius of 10 days or 3.722 knots. The Newport like the other gunboats of her class is coppcr-bottomcd and her efficiency is not impaired by re- maining long in the water. This test of the Newport conforms closely to the results obtained in other ships of her type which include the vicksburg, An napolis. Marietta, Princeton and Wheel ing. Each is of 1000 tons tlisplace- ment.

REGARDED AS CRITICAL.
TrnnsvaRl-interest of Amcri- can Residents Considered.

Washington, Aug. 16.-The situation in the Transvaal is regarded by of ficials here as critical. Thus far, how. ever, the state department has not re. ceived word from any source con cerning the strained condition of af. fairs and there is nodisposition to take up such question of neutrality ard the care of our interests in that locality until the war issue is actually framed.
 Charles Macrum is the United States consul stationed at Pretoria. He has sent a number of reports, all of them dealing with commercial affairs, and has not touched on the delicate poli- tical conditions existing. The United States has consular agent, J. IL. Manion, at Johannesburg, but he has not been heard from since he was ap. pointed. There have been recent press reports from Johannesburg that a col. cred blacksmith claiming to be an American had been roughly handled by the field coronets and that he had raised the question of his American citizenship and had appealed to the American representative. The state de, pertinent has been expecting to hea. from Manion on this case, but noth ing has come thus far.
 Admiral Howison's return will prob ably shed much light on the condi ton of affairs in the Bocr country and the extent of American interests, fo. while the Chicago was in South Afri can waters, the admiral spent much tune at Pretoria and Johannesburg. The admiral has as yet made no report of his movements.

CONSIDERING ARMY MATTERS
Conference with AdJt.-Gen. Cor bin-Further EnIistments.

Washington, Aug. Secretary Root gave his attention largely to army matters yesterday. He had long conversations with Adjt.-Gen. Corbin relative to the army, its strength, equipment and supplies, these being considered in connection with the statements that have been furnished by the heads of the different bureaus.
 The question of enlisting and the selection of officers for additional vol untoers regiments also was under con- sideration, but it was stated that no decision to call for more troops was considered. While it is said that five regiments will be organized the num- Der has not been definitely determined upon. Neither is it settled whether all shall be infantry regiments. It has been suggested that another cavalry regiment or two may be of great ad- vantage in the Philippines. The only objection to organizing two cavalry regiments is said to be the great diff ficulty and cost of transporting horses to the Philippines.
 The recruiting now going on will continue. The new regiments may be organized at some other posts than where the first ten have been stationed. as several localities are anxious to have them.

League of Colored Men.

An organization of colored citizens has been organized at Little Rock, which has for its motto the following: "The race, whatever it's color, which gives itself verunanimously and un- conditionally to any one political party incurs the hatred Of the one it opposes and the contempt of the other. The ,ne it serves has nothing to hope for from it; the one it opposes has nothing ;o fear; therefore. the former feels that t can never lose it and persecutes it for it's unreasoning hostility. The other iespise it for it's unreasoping fidelity, therefore it becomes target for the abuse of all men, a wall behind which scoundrels hide to steal a people with put friend or advocate"

At the October convention if is proposed to have present representa- tives from each county affected by the waterways and drainage canal. to. gcther with the governor, state sem. tors and representatives and congress. men and the drainage trustees and ia. terested citizens of Chicago.

NEW MOVEMENT IN GERMANY.
something More than n Great Army Needed to Keep Up With fine
 Procession.

Washington, Aug. l6.-yice- -Conslil- General Hanauer reports to the state department from Frankfort as to the movement throughout Germany to maintain and extend their commerce. He says:
 The 'ierman people are fully alive to the importance of not only main taining their present position as pur- Veyors to the worlds market, but be- lieve 1t essential to their standing as a world power" to make still greater effort to compete with England, which heretofore had the lead and with new and energetic rivals, such as Belgium, Japan and last, but most feared, the United States"
 MT. Hanauer inclosed an abstract from the organ of the German manu- facturing and export trade urging the government to set up a commercial museum similar to that at Philadcl- rhia and to follow the lead of the United States in making the consular service means of extending trade.

CONSIDERED OUT OF DANGER.
M. L"b"rf Now Doing So We'll that His Physicians are Hopeful
 of Recovery.

Rennes. France, Aug. 16.-M. Labori IS now doing so we'll that the doctors consider him out of danger. He lies on his back unable to move, but life IS returning to the leg which Monday was thought to be paralyzed He has no fever, and continues to discuss the trial. His wife has remained at his bedside practically ever since he was wounded. Naturally she is much re- lievee at the favorable reports of the doctors, who hope to see the distin- guished lawyer on his feet before the trial is ended.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press here obtained complete corrobor. alton yesterday of the statement that the pockets of Labori's coat were rified Monday while he was lying on the ground wounded. Not only were the pockets of his coat emptied, but an at- tempt was made to steal the wallet in which were important papers referring to the court-martial, including his notes for the cross-examination of Gen. Mercier.

APPALLING CONDITIONS.
Two Thousand Deaths in Porto Rico as the Result of the Re-
 cent Hurricane.
DAILY THE DEATH LIST IS ADDED TO.
All of the Island Not Yet Heard From. the Country Being Almost ImpnsSnblc--Dcstit Being Rc- Iieved as Promptly as Possible with the Military stores.

Washington. Aug. 1.-The appall- ing conditions existing in Porto Rico were made more fully known to the war department by Gen. Davis in a dispatch which says the deaths out right in the island will reach 5000. while many are dying daily from in- juries and privations. Gen. Davis adds:
 The dry split peas are very accept able. Canned peas involve too much transportation in proportion to nutri- ment, but can be used near the sen coast. There is much destitution in the interior, and deaths are occurring from lack of food. 1t will not be pos sible to reach those points with packs roads and railroads are destroyed, so that only men on foot can get to and from those districts. The stores com ing on the McPherson will be in time for I am supplying the most pressing needs at all accessible points with stores now on hand. So great is the destruction of roads that there is no communication yet with one-third of the island. The commanding officer at each of the 12 posts is inspector of relief for his district, and he has detailed a man in every municipality collecting data and relieving most pressing needs. have furnished each inspector with similar funds, and given authority to issue food from the army supplies. One soldier has died of injuries; others injured will -c. cover. A great many wagons We're overturned and broken, but all arc be. ing repaired. Many thousands of pri' vatc cattle and horses were drowned The larger part of the deaths of m tives was from drowning"

FIVE WOMEN ASSAULTED.
Diabolicsl Work of a Black Brute at the Capital City of
 Arkansas.
ONE OF THE VICTIMS ELEVEN YEARS OLD
All tho Crimes Were Committed Within Twenty-Four Hours-Four suapscts Ar. rested and One Partially Idsntinsd-A Lynching Narrowly Averted.

On the morning of the 16th inst, be- tween the hours of and II o'clock, four respectable white women living in the suburbs of Little Rock were assaulted by a negro fiend.
 His victims were all accosted on the street in sparsely settled parts of the city. Three of the women were knocked down and brutally beaten about the head and body, but in neither case did the brute accomplish his purpose, the screams of the assaulted causing him to desist in his dastardly work and take to the woods.
 On the 18th inst, a Mrs. Aiken, aged So years, was attacked while en route from her home to take downtown car and roughly handled. gentleman passing heard her cries aud hastened to her assistance. The negro escaped and, while the officers were searching all over the city for him. a telephone message to police headquarters the following morning told of an assault on young lady near the scene of the first crime. This was about o'clock.
 About o'clock Mrs. Young, wife oi cotton buyer, was attacked. She was knocked down and kicked in the side by the brute, sustaining internal in- juries and broken rib.
 Just one hour later Mrs. Kennedy, in the same section of town, was as- saulted on the street near her home. She was accompanied by her two little children, who screamed so loudly that the negro fled.
 At II o'clock. three blocks west of the point where Mrs. Kennedy was as. sanlted, the 11-year-old daughter of c. w. Longcoy, . merchant, was at tackled, choked and badly abused. In struggling with the brute, the child was almost stripped of clothing.
 The news of these outrages spread rapidly, and soon officers and hundreds of citizens were searching in every direction for the guilty party or parties. E Four suspects were soon captured, and one of them, Ed Wright, was iden- tifed by Mrs. Kennedy as her assailant.
 From the description given by the parties assaulted, officers express the belief that at least three of the crimes were committed by the same party.
 When it became known that one of the suspects had been identified crowds began to gather and for a while it looked as though lynching would take place. The officers, however, took the prisoner to some place unknown to the people, and when this became known the crowds dispersed.
 No occurrence of recent years in Lit tie Rock caused so much excitement. and should the other victims identify any of the prisoners it is feared a lynch ing will yet take place, unless the guilty ones are given an immediate trial
