A BLOoDTHiRSTY MOB.
Band of Georgia Lynchers May Have Killed
an Innocent Man.

Palmetto, Ga, April 26.-The body
of Lige Strickland, the negro preacher
who was implicated in the Crawford
murder by Sam Hose, was found
swinging to the limb of a persimmon
tree within a mile and quarter of this
place Monday morning. Before death
was allowed to end the sufferings of
the negro, his ear was cut off and the
small finger Of the left hand was sew
cred at the second joint
On the chest of the negro was a scrap
OF blood-stained paper, fastened with
an ordinary pin. On one side of this
nal: We must protect our ladies; 23-99.'
The other side of the paper contained
warning to the negroes of the neigh
borhood. 1t read as follows beware,
all darkies You will be treated the
same way
Before being lynched, Strickland
was given chance to confess to the
misdeeds of which the mob supposed
him to be guilty, but he protested his
innocence until the end. Three times
the moose was placed around his neck
and the negro was drawn up, and three
times he was let down, with warnings
that death was in store for him should
he fail to confess his completely in the
Crawford murder. Three times Strick-
land proclaimed his innocence, until,
weary of useless torturing, the mob
pulled on the rope and tied the end
around the slender trunk of the per-
simmon tree Not Shot was fired by
the mob. Strickland was strangled to
death.

DECLINE TO DISBAND.
SPAIN'S FILIPINO ALLIES ARE IN
A SAD PLIGHT.
Natives Who Have Aided tho Spaniards
Refuse to Give up Their Arms. Fearing
the Vengeance OF Their CompatrEots.

Manila, April 29.-Spains evacuation
of the Philippine Islands will be prac-
ticaily completed by the withdrawal of
the Spanish garrison from Zamboanga,
Island of Mindanao, and from the Sulu
islands, and If the United States as
sumes control of Mindanao and the
Sulu islands on the Spaniards with
drawing, the military authorities must,
in order to garrison those islands, di-
minish the forces of American troops,
which are already too small
There was almost mutiny among the
Spanish troops in the islands, because
they were expected to proceed to the
Ladrone and the Caroline islands, some
of them refusing to do SO, claiming
that their enlistment had expired. Ttss
latter were exempted and allowed to
return to Spain on board the Alva.
The native troops in the Spanish
garrison are in sad plight. They
must accompany the Spaniards or risk
the vengeance Of their compatriots.
The Spaniards proposed to disband
them, but they refused to give up their
arms.
The natives of Zamboanga are likely
to prove troublesome when the Spanish
troops are withdrawn from the coast
towns of the island of Mindanao. 1t is
believed that the smouldering tribal
wars viii then be resumed, anarchy
will prevail and the inhabitants of
nearly every village will fight with
their neighbors.
A tripartite exchange Of prisoners
will be arranged if it is possible to
negotiate with the Filipinos as If they
were a civilized nation. If the Fill
pinos consent to release the Spanish
prisoners, the Americans might release
the Tagalogs they now hold prisoners,
in return for which Spain would free
her political prisoners. The provisions
of the Paris treaty would thus be car
ried out. The Spanish commission,
however, hesitates to enter the Fill.

QUAY WINS OUT.
Jury Declares Him Not Guilty and Cover

Philadelphia. April %. = Mathew
Stanley Quay has been declared by
jury to be not guilty of the charge Of
conspiracy to use for his own unlawful
gain and profit the funds of the state
of Pennsylvania deposited in the Peo
pies bank Of Philadelphia Senator
Quay received the verdict with broad
smile on his face and responded pleas
antly to the congratulations of his
many friends present,
Immediately upon the receipt Of the
news that Senator Quay was acquitted
of the charges against him, Governor
Stone appointed him United States
senator to fill the vacancy until the
next Legislature meets, and notified
vicePresident Hobart. Governor Stone
said that in appointing Senator Quay
he felt he had done the fit and proper
thing. He thought it would make the
issue, and is better done now than after
waiting for weeks. The authority
quoted by the governor says that the
governor of any state may make tenn
porary appointment during a recess,
to hold until the next Legislature
meets.

Wanamaker Bitter.

Philadelphia, April 23-John Wana-
maker has made the following state
ment in regard to the acquital of ex-
Senator Quay and the latter's appoint
ment by the governor as United States
senator:
"The acquittal OF Senator Quay will
be disappointment to every lover of
justice and every friend of good gov
ernment throughout the United States
1t records with emphasis the difficulty
of conyicting potent political people
charged with crimes, no matter how
clear and convincingly overwhelming
the evidence may be. The story of the
corrupt use and speculation in public
money in Pennsylvania is an old one
and has been a matter of notorious ac-
cusation against long line of state
treasurers and political bosses for
many years.
The first shout of defiant exult ltation
of his acquittal has proceeded from
the governor of the commonwealth,
who has promptly appointed him a
United States senator without author
ity and in violation of the law and in
defiance of the viii of the people as
expressed by the votes of the legisla-
ture. 1t is fitting in every way that
the capstone should thus have been
put on the edifice of boss rule and ma
chine jobbery by the Quay representa-
tive in the governors chair"

Self-Appointed Executioners

Newman, Ga, April 25.-Sam Hose,
negro charged with the murder of
farmer and the outrage Of the dead
mans wife, was burned at the stake
here Sunday afternoon by a mob of
eco enraged people.
Before the torch was applied to the
pyre, the negro was deprived of his
ears, fingers and other portions of his
anatomy. He pleaded pitifully for his
life while the mutilation was going on,
but stood the ordeal of fire with sur
prising fortitude
Before the body was cool ii was cut
TO pieces, the bones were crushed into
small bits and even the tree upon
which the wretch met his fate was
torn mp and disposed of as souvenirs.
Hose killed Alfred Crawford, white
farmer, near Palmetto, and outraged
his wife ten days ago. Since that time
business in that part of the state has
been suspended, the entire population
turning out in an effort to capture
Hose lie successfully eluded pursuit
until discovered near Macon.
Governor Gambler has been asked to
send troops here to preserve order for
day or two, as it is feared the ne
groes may wreak vengeance, many
threats to that effect having been
made

ford, but denied that he had assaulted
the dead mans wife Before being
put to death, the negro stated that he
had been paid Sl2 by Lige Strickland,
negro preacher at Palmetto, to kill
Crawford. A mob of citizens is scour-
ing the country for Strickland, who

GERMANY PROTESTS.
Doesn't Like the Language Used by Captain
Coghlan of the Raleigh.

Washington, April 26.-The German
government has entered formal pro-
test against the language used by Cap
tain Coghlan Of the Raleigh, at the
Union League club banquet in New
York last Friday night.
The protest was lodged with Secre-
tary Hay through the German ambas-
sador Herr Won Holleben. Secretary
Hay replied that the language APP
peared to have been used at dinner
in club, and could not be regarded
as an official or public utterance in the
sense that would warrant the state de-
partment in acting. However, the
navy department was fully competent
to take such action as the case seemed
to require.
With this statement the ambassador
was content for the time at least, and
will doubtless await a reasonable
lenght of time upon the navy depart
ment

Peace Has Been Declared.
Washington, April 23,-Advices re-
ceiyed at the war department from Ad-
miral Dewey, under date of April 81,
state that the expedition of the gun
boat York town to Baler was purely to
rescue the Spanish soldiers and priests
who are being besieged in a church
there. The soldiers refused to surren-
der when expected to lay down their
arms by General Rios at the end of the
Paris peace conference.
Admiral Dewey said he did not know
what had become of Lieutenant Gil
more and the fourteen men in the
launch. The supposition is that they
were captured or killed by the Span
iards or the 400 insurgents who are be-
sieging the Spanish garrison,
General Rios, the Spanish com
mander. when interviewed, said he did
not think the garrison at Baler knew
that the war between the United States
and Spain had ended. He had sent an
officer in January to tell the garrison
to surrender, but the garrison refused
to do SO, either not believing the
officer or fearing that they would be
trapped by the insurgents. Since then
General Rios has not communicated
with the garrison and this is the first
information received that the Spanish
flag Is still flying at Baler.

Chapman of Courtland, Miss, twice re-
ported dead, has arrived on the steam
ship Franklin, from Bluefields, Nicar-

in the insurgent army, tells a thrilling
story of his escape from President
Zelaya's forces, He was captured on
February "a, near Ramara, while in the
company OF stephen Powers, an Eng
lish subject, and also a member of the
revolutionary army. A courtmartial
followed the capture, the men being
tried as spies, and they were condemned
to be shot
A strange feature of the affair is that
the sentence was actually carried out.
Stephen Powers fell dead at the first
fire, but Chapman was merely wounded
in the left arm. He fell to the ground
and there remained quietly, permitting
his executioners to assume that their
aim had been true Thinking they had
killed both men, the soldiers went
away. As soon as they were out of
sight, Chapman arose and dressed his
wounds as best he could, and then,
after some difficulty, made his way to
Bluefields.

wiser to have Tarpeiau rock, like the
