The facts are that ill-liealth very soon puts

Would He Rapi@t Lynched.

Alexandria, Va, Aug. 9.-Ben Thomp- son, colored, 20 years of age, was lynched here at 11:30 o'clock last night for at tempting an assault upon Lillian Clarke, the S-year-old daughter of Edward Clarke, residing on Patrick street. The police made determined effort to prevent the mob, which gathered around the jail about II o'clock, from obtaining posses sion of the prisoner, but were unsuccess- ful. The door was broken in, and during the scuffie which ensued Chief of Police Webster was hurt. The prisoner was found in the cellar of the building and brought out, but the report became cur rent that he was not the man, and he was released. He had gone but a short distance, however, when the mob con cluded that Thompson was the man they were looking for, and after short chase he was captured and strung up to an electric light pole. The prisoner was roughly handled on the way to the place of hanging, his clothing being cut almost to shreds. During the scenes at the front of the jail Mayor Simpson address ed the crowd, imploring them to leave the prisoner alone and promising to call the grand jury for early action on the case, but his pleadings were without avail

THE YAQUI REVOLT.
General Torres Surrounds Enemy's
 Stronghold.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-A special to The Record from Guaymas, Mexico, says:
 General Torres has almost completely surrounded Bicam, a Yaqui stronghold, where nearly 2,0O0 savages are massed. On the arrival of the artillery and the machine guns the Mexican general will close in on the Indians and precipitate the government and the Yaquis.
 ''The reports from General Torres re- garding the killing of Remley and Miller say their bodies were found hanging from a tree. with the hands and feet cut off. The uprising reaches down the Ya- qui river to the sea, and it is not expected to extend farther north than the Sahua- ripa district.
 The government now has nearly 5000 men in the field. Two hundred volunteers will leave Guaymas for Medano on the steamer Jalisco. A fight is expected on entering the Yaqui river with a large band of savages that last week attacked and burned three sloops, A. Fares, a well known Mexican at Hermosillo, losing his life in the encounter.
 Business in Guaymas and other points in southern Sonora is practically at a standstill in consequence of the rebellion. It has not entirely suspended the heavy freighting done with the Yaqui valley but has led many Mexicans of the city to retreat beyond the prefect's call for volunteers

VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN.
Interview With Secretary Root al
 P1attsburg.

Interview With Secretary Root at
 Platt.burg.
 Plattsburg, N. r., Aug. 9.-Secretary of War Root was seen last night In the ooce of the Hotel Champlain just after ~he had said goodby to the president and was preparing to take the 9:45 train for Washington. The secretary referred to his visit to Plattsburg barracks yester- day afternoon, where he witnessed a reg mental drill of the Twenty-sixth regi- ment, under command of Colonel Rice. The regiment has been recruited and or ganized in little over three weeks, and they drilled like old veterans. "The prog ress which the officers and men of the Twenty-sixth regiment have made in drilling in so short time is simply mar velous," said Mir. Root. "It only shows the wonderful resources of the United States when ten regiments of volunteer soldiers can be recruited, organized, drill ed and equipped for active service in the field in so short a time"
 "Will the war in the Philippines be prosecuted vigorously from now on r' was asked.
 Mir. Root replied: "Yes, sir, the war in the Philippines from now on will be pros ecuted with all possible energy. All the men, all the arms and all the supplies necessary to end the trouble in the is lands will be furnished at the earliest possible moment"
 "How large force will be at the dis posal of the commanding general thereT' was asked.
 There will be 50,0O0 men there ready for active service at the close of the rainy season, about the last of October" re- piled the secretary, "and more will be sent there if necessary"
 As to the rumor published in some of the papers that President Mckinley and he were not agreeable upon the policy to be pursued in the Philippines, Mir. Root said, "Of course that is all nonsense"
 When asked whether General Otis would be relieved of the command of the American forces in the Philippines, Mir. Root replied that he had nothing to say on that point at this time. It would be impossible for any one to be more em- phatic and determined than Secretary Root is in his avowed policy of ending the trouble in the Philippines. He sell dom talks for publication, and the fact that he had just come from two days conference with President Mckinley adas interest to his words. .
