DUEL IN THE STREETS.
How Arkansas Politicians Settle Iher
Political Differences.

Hot Springs, Ark, March ls.-As the
result of ill-feeling growing out OF the
mayoralty contest, a shooting took
place in this city in which five men
lost their lives, and bystander was
seriously wounded. The dead are
Thomas Toler, chief of police; J. Z.
Hart, city detective; Thomas F, Goslee,
police sergeant; John Williams, son OF
sheriff Williams; Louis Hinkle, driver
of brewery wagon. Ed Spears was
shot in the neck and may die.
Sheriff Williams was a warm sup
porter of the regular Democratic nomi-
nee, while Toler, Hart and Goslee were
supporters of the opposition candidate.
Feeling ran high, and early in the
afternoon shots were exchanged in
front of the city hall between the
sheriff and his son John, on one side,
and Sergeant Goslee on the other, but
no one was injured.
After this both parties determined
to have it out. Toler, Hart and Cos
lee were together walking south on
Central avenue at about half-past five
o'clock when they met Sheriff Will
liams and his two sons, John and COT
fey, and Ed Spears deputy sheriff, in
front of Lemps beer depot. The quar-
rel was renewed. No one can tell who
fred the first shot, but in a moment
there was a general fusillade, in
which forty or fifty shots were ex'
changed.
When it was over, Toler, Hart, Cos
lee and Hinkle, non-combatant, were
dead, and John Williams died about ar
hour later from his wounds. Loui:
Hinkle attempted to separate the com
batants at the commencement and wa'
shot in the head and died instantly.

FIGHTING IN HAVANA.
THIRTY 70 FORTY PEOPLE ARB
WOUNDED.
Police Oficer Roughly Handled ut Null

Fire Upon Them.

Havana, March 21.--A serious con-
fiict between the police and people Of
Havana Saturday night resulted in
much shooting and clubbing. From
thirty to forty people were wounded,
some seriously. Among the injured is
Police Captain Estampes, formerly a
colonel in the Cuban army.
The trouble occurred at a public
mulatto ball in San Jose street, an un-
savory quarter. Many Cuban officers,
colonies and captains among them,
attended the affair. policeman on
duty in that street, following orders
to prevent crowd collecting in front
Of the building where the ball was in
progress, asked group Of men to go
in or disperse. His request was I'M
needed, and after repeating it he was
attacked by the group, whereupon
many men issued from the building
and set upon him, took away his club
and revolver and handled him roughly.
The policeman Immediately notified
headquarters, who ordered twenty re-
serves TO the scene. The crowd had
prepared for their arrival 1t is said
they opened with revolver fire upon
the police, which the latter returned,
the shooting being kept up until the
ammunition was exhausted. The OPP
ponents Of the police acted with deter
mination in the ARRAY. Many who
were in the building mounted the roof,
which was low, and fred upon the po-
lice from that point. They were ap-
parently well armed, and this fact,
together with the resolution with
which they fought, seems to confirm
the belief that the attacking party was
mostly made up of Cuban officers, as
ordinary civilians would have fled from
the revolvers of the police Several
women were injured during the affray,

a slim chance that some of the crews

abled, far from the usual lines of oceaI

KINGSHIP IN SAMOA.
Three Governments Divided Over PrOpo-

Three Governments Divided Over Propo-
sItIon to Reopen Subject.
Washington, March 1s.-As negotia-
tons are now in progress between the
United States, Great Britain and Ger
many respecting the kingly succession
in Samoa, any action of the so-called
provisional government that would
tend to force a crisis prematurely
would have mischievous effects. The
German government is regarded as
being particularly solicitous that there
should be no outbreak at this time,
but unfortunately seeks to impose con-
ditions in the pursuit of this purpose
that if accepted would seriously com
promise the alleged rights of both the
United States and Great Britain.
Our government prefers to adhere
strictly to the lines of the Berlin treaty
so long as that convention remains un-
changed.
1t is understood here that the pro-
visional government referred to in the
news dispatches is nothing more than
an assemblage of some of the subchiefs
and that even Mataafa, the candidate
for kingship, has not joined it.

WAR WILL SOON END.
Insurgents Are Convinced That 1t is Useless
to Oppose Uncle Sam.

Washington, March 20. - Advices
have been received from Manila which
indicate that the climax may occur at
any hour. The officials here are very
well pleased with the condition of af-
fairs, but will not at present discuss
the details of the dispatches. The in
dications are that hostilities may end
within a very short time. President
Mckinley has been SO advised.
The reasons for the belief of General
Otis that climax might come at any
hour were not stated, but his assump-
ton was based on the favorable reports
he had received from various sources
that the Filipinos were tired of the
war and Aguinaldo's leadership. 1t is
believed at the war department that
the method in which the Americans
have conducted the fighting has done
much to convince the Filipinos of the
uselessness of trying to drive out the
United States forces. The fighting has
been of different character from that
to which they were accustomed when
the Spaniards were in possession of
Manila.
