zinesville, Ohio, Aug. 2S.-The Clans
are already gathering for the demo-
cratic State convention, and the fol.
lowers of james Kilburne are in high
state of trepida,ion over the strong
Mclean sentiment here. 1t is said
that Charles Kurtz was the man who
put the glbernatoral bug in John R..
McLean's ear and that Senator Fora
ker is in the game, which is nothing
less than a conspiracy TO beat Nash. In
return Mclean agrees to keep his hands

THE RACE TROUBLES.

The roundup of the riotous negroes
in Mcintosh county, Ga, by the militia
on Saturday resulted in the surrender
of Henry Delegal, the murderer o.
Deputy Sheriff Townsend, and the To-
cation for future arrest of Deleeal'
brother and the woman directly impli
Gated in the killing. Delegal's surren
der was made 10 Lieutenant Wood, il
charge of detachment of thirty sol
diers, stationed for fifteen miles about
the county, to back up the snerif's post
who were securing the swamps. The
swamps were being beaten closely while
the militia lined out on the bluff. Del
egal's aged mother came out of tn.
swamps with a request that Delegal be
allowed to surrender to the soldiers.
The arrest of Delegal, who is the SOD OF
the negro whose arrest pyecipitsted the
trouble. and the arrival of reinforce
ments of the militia seems to have
broken the backbone of the defiance OF
the law by the negroes.
There were no hostiliiies between tie
blacks and militia yesterday, though
the negroes remain armed and the
troops are prepared for all eventuali-
ties,

THE RACE war in the South is no
longer theory; it is a condition, and
at present there seems TO be no way OF
improving it. Wise Southern people
said from the first that the enforced
emancipation of the slaves would prove
disastrous to the country, and sad ex'
perience has proved that they were true
prophets. But the hindaight Of the
Northern republicans always was bet
ter than their foresight. 1t is little
strange, however, that a government
that sacrificed millions of lives and
thousands of millions of dollars to free
black people 10 its own, should now be
engaged in another bloody and expen-
sive war to enslave brown and yellow
people, in a foreign country. 1t may
have been thst when the brains were
out men would die, but that it is not so
now is too plain to require mention.

REPORTED THAT LUNA
WAS ASSASSINATED
American Gunboats Bonibard the Rebels
Land Position-Seemed Like -
Big Naval Battle.

Manila, June 13.-Informat tion believed to
be reliable reached here Of the assassina-
ton of General Luna and his aide-de-camp,
Lieutenant Pasco Ramon, June s, by Ag-
uinaldo's guard at the headquarters of
Aguinaldo.
Luna and Ramon, it appears, went to the
Filipino headquarters to confer with Ag-
uinaldo, got into an alteration with the
captain of the guard and one of them
drew a revolver. The guards then killed
Luna and Ramon with their bayonets.
The fighting at Las Pinas continued hot
ly all day long today General Lawton
called out the whole force of 5000 men,
and at O'Clock he was only able to push
the insurgents back 500 yards to the Zia-
pote river, where they are entrenched.
The insurgents resisted desperately and
aggressively They attempted to turn the
left flank of the American troops.
Loss Estimated at Sixty
The American loss is conservatively es-
timated at sixty. The battle continues at
8:15 o'clock tonight.
AT daylight today the rebels at Cavite,
Viejo, dropped two shells from a big
smooth bore gun, mounted in front of the
church, in the navy yard The only damage
done was splintering the top OF the huge
shears on the Mole. The gunboats Callao,
Manila and Moquito then proceeded to dis
mount the gun
After breakfast the rebels opened fire
along the beach to Bakoor.
After silencing the big gun at Cavite,
Viejo, the gunboats ran close along the
shore, bombarding the rebel position. The
rebels replied with rifle fire and with the
fire of some small pieces of artillery. So
vigorous was the enemy's fire that at 9:2O
a. m. the gunboat Helena Joined the small
gunboats already named, and the Prince
ton, Monterey and Monadnock. from their
anchorages, dropped occasional big shells
emong the rebels.
Looked Like Naval Battle
This apparently only served to incite the
rebels, as they kept up an incessant fire of
musketry and artillery near the mouth of
the Zeapotet river, two miles north of
Bakoora. The fire of all seven warships
was concentrated on this point, shortly
after noon, when the upper bay presented
the appearance of great naval battle.
The insurgents were eventually forced to
abandon their guns, after holding out for
about four hours, only to be confronted by
General Lawton's force on land and In their
rear, where there was heavy fighting.
Beyond the destruction of several build
ings along the water front the effect of the
bombardment is not known.

AMERICANS HAVE THE L|YEu|EST
FIGHT OF THE FILIPINO CAMPAIGN

while on the right the Filipinos sharp

craftsmanship of the rebels. our loss was
not as much as it would have been if the
Filipinos had shot straight An army,
however. has seldom fought under great
er handicap more courageously than did
our regulars. majority of whom were,
comparatively speaking, recufts who could
have been pardoned for retiring in the
face of such a fierce fire from their ex-
posed positions.
Every Man for Himself
The Fourteenth regiment lay to the right
of the bridge, and in front of them was
the Twelfth regiment, with the Ninth on
the right and the Twenty-frst up the road
facing the bridge, which was the key to the
situation. On the bridge were the bodies
of two Americans who had attempted to
rush across, and many wounded men were
carried from the open ground beyond the
bridge. After firing in volleys for short
time, the Americans were ordered to lire
anywhere they could see the enemy. 1t
was every man for himself, and the best
our men could do was to aim at the faint
msts arising from the enemy's smokeless
powder. General Lawton, though exhaust
ed by the mornings fight, rallied by sheer
will power, and was the commanding hg-
ure in the battle. lie went along the lines
directly and encouraged the troops.
General Wheaton and General Ovenshine
were equally courageous. In fact, the gen.
erals were among the few men on the bat
tlefield who refused to take shelter under
the hottest fire. The only approach to the
fighting ground was by a narrow, winding
road, where the rebel bullets dropped thick
ly, wounding several of our men. AT
o'clock there was an hours lull in the fight,
and an artillery sergeant ran back to where
the guns of the mountain battery were
waiting in reserve and shouted:
Brace up those guns"
The sergeant then tumbled exhausted
from his horse.
Twenty wounded men were carried to a
native boat waiting on the beach, which
was rowed to Paranaque.
scene of Hot Spanish Fight
It is impossible at present to estimate the
number of Filipino dead. There are many
dead bodies in the fields the Americans
travefsed. This battlefield, incidentally,
was formerly the scene of several hot
fights between the Spanish and the natives.
The bridge was considered impregnable,
and hundreds of Spaniards and Fiipinos
have been killed while fighting over the
same bridge in former contests for its pos
session. In June. 1897. Generals Pho >del

of prevailing upon DR.. Massey to accept

The conference at which DR.. Massey ac-
eepted lasted until after midnight, when
he agreed to enter into a written accept

foop, and found Mrs. Massey, almost an
Invalid, in precarious condition as a re-
suit of the strain she had undergone, hay
ing been seriously indisposed of late.
DR.. Massey realized at once that to tell
his wife of his acceptance while in that
critical stage would most probably hasten
her death. Finally he concluded to tell her
of his action, and the blow is said to have

decline before the governor.

He proceeded to the Thompson residence,
at which Governor Johnston and DR.. Eager
were guests, and informed the governor OF

decline the place for the reason that Mrs.

A relief train has left Blair, the county

1t is not known how much further north

entire eastern portion of Nebraska is being
swept by tornado and wind storm and

The streets of Omaha are flooded and the
play of the lightning is something fearful.
Additional details are dribbling in con-
cerning the tornado at Herman. Advices
up to II o'clock state that every building
in the town is destroyed, except the pub
lie school and a small dwelling, both OF
which are on the outskirts. The force of
the wind was terrible, as scarcely one piece
of many structures in the destroyed dis
trict was left intact Broken furniture and
debris scarcely recognizable in the dilapi-
dated condition are strewn around, while

they can be attended to. Blair has thrown
