POST AN IMPORTANT ONE
Mckinley Considers It an Honor and
 Not a Slight.
STATIGN MAY BE REINFORCED
In View of the Troubles in the Trans vaal the South Atlantic Squadron Becomes of More Than Or
 dinary Consequence

Washington, September l9.-Rear Admiral Winfield s. Schley will succeed Rear Ad- miral Howson in command of the South Atlantic station. He has no protest to make against the assignment which the navy de- partment has selected for him.
 As a sailor he will obey orders without murmur. He called upon the president this evening and told him that he had no complaint to make. He would cheefully assume the duty of any post selected by the authority Which it had been his pride to serve for thirty-four years. Admiral Schley was very reticent when he left the White House, after his interview with the president and except to say that he always obeyed orders, would make no statement as to the interview or to comment upon the assignment to the command.
 A Mark of Distinction
 To the rear admiral's friends the presi- dent has said that he regards the station as of great importance in view of the sit uation ln-South Africa and the unsettled condition of affairs in some of the South American countries. Far from regarding the assignment a slight, the president told Admiral Schley's friends he regarded it as a mark of distinction.
 Besides, he said, 1t was the only way to gratify the admirals desire for sea service. The Asiatic squadron is in command of Rear Admiral Watson and Rear Admiral Farquhar, who is Admiral Schley's senior, has been selected for the command of the North Atlantic squadron when Rear Ad- miral Sampson leaves 1t after the Dewey reception in New York.
 The Only Post Open
 The only other on the squadron commen- surate with the dignity of flag officer of Rear Admiral Schleys rank, therefore, is the South Atlantic. It is probable, in view of the importance attached to the station at this time, that some additional ships will be assigned to the squadron, which now consists of only the flagship Chicago, the Wilmington and the Maehias.

ing ARRAY occurred in the town of Fair
fax last night between Mr.. G. O. Lines

and attempted TO board a freight train on
the Florida Central and Peninsular road
which was then leaving, but was frustrat-
ed by Lines and Hair, vino attempted 10
arrest the negro, whereupon he drew a re-
Volver and fired two shots at Lines, both
taking effect, the most serious being in

Wounding the negro in the chest and abdo-
men. Both men are thought to be fatally
wounded.
Lines was taken to the hospital in Au-
gusta on the early morning train. where
he can get the best surgical attention. He
is an estimable young man and it is hoped
he viii recover. ID was with difficulty that
the negro was saved from lynching, but
wiser counsel prevailed and he is in the
guard house carefully guarded.

The New York Evening Post has been
one Of the most persistent papers in the
country in the matter Of rejecting upon
the character of the American troops in
the Philippines. 1t has repeated many
falsehoods, based upon alleged private
letters from soldiers, which 1t publish
ed, constituting them to imply that our
men have been brutal and savage, and
brought disgrace upon the country. ON
Thursday the Post published lengthy
letter from a Manila correspondent, re-
pudIating and deuouncing as totally
untrue and baseless all these publlca-
lions, and, so convinced was the Post
that 1t has bSen doing our soldiers an
injustice that 1t was compelled to edi-
toriaIly confess its mistakes, and to
apologize to its. readers. which is not to
the dIscredit of the New York anti
organ, and presents an example which
some Of its contemporaries might do
well to follow. The Post says:
'If we placed too much faith In tho
yeraclty and Importance Of some Of the
letters at the time OF their publication,
and thereby did injustice to the hui
mainly and character OF our soldiers,
we regret 1t sincerely. for we should
much prefer to believe that an occa-
slonAl American soldier is a liar than
TO believe that the, American army is
composed OF barbarians."
II some other papers were equally as
frank as this. while It might humIliate
them, they could contribute much to-
ward undolng the harm they have done
in the way OF traduclng our heroes, em-
barrassing the hands Of the men at the
front, encouraging the Tagal warriors
into believing they have the sympa-
titles of the masses Of the people Of the
United States, and vIlllfylng the Presi-
dent to the creation of partisan preju-
dice
