RIOT AT PANA.-In a riot which
broke out at Pana, ILL.,, yesterday
morning, on the main street, in front
of the telegraph office, between white
and black miners, in which deputy
sherifIz took part, five men and one
woman were killed. Eight persons
were wounded, several so seriously
that they will probably die. Three
companies of the Fifth Illinois Infantry
arrived last night and are guarding the
town. The trouble resulting in yester-
days riot began Sunday night, when
100 deputy sherifIs were called out into
the Flatham and Penwell mining dis
trict to protect several families of ne.
groes who were endeavoring to load
household effects preparatory to leav-
ing for Iowa, and were being prevented
by negro guards armed with rifles fur
nished by the Pana Coal Company, who
claimed the goods the negroes were
moving were company property. Gov
ernor Tanner has issued proclama-
ton declaring martial law at Pana.
The proclamation creates district
comprising the city OF Pana and all ter.
rltory within one mile thereof, and for
bids the carrying of arms within such
district.

THE irreDressible race conflict has
again broken out at Pana, Illinois, the
State from which Mr.. Lincoln, who is
sued the emancipation proclamation,
hailed. 1t cannot be electually sup.
pressed, and as the negroes can change
their local habitation as well as their
names whenever they choose to do so,
is just as liable now to manifest itself in
the North as in the South. But as
long as the existing form of govern
ment shall continue, it will be futile
to attempt to remedy the referred 10
evil, which must continue to increase
IN THE last attack of the American
soldiers upon the poor, ignorant and
half savage Filipinos-that at Sants
Cruz-sixty-eight of the latter were
found dead in the woods and swamps
and forty wounded, while the Ameri-
can loss as reported, was sir aCounded.
With such men as Alger, Miles, Eagan
and Shafter at the head of the army, i;
is not wonderful that it should be en-
gagged in such butcheries as have dis
graced its operations in the Philippines.
1t was not so formerly, but all things
10 this country have changed.

A DISPATCH from Manila says the
churches there are the first places that
are looted by the American army. And
yet the expansionists say the war upon
the Filipinos is prosecuted for the pur-
pose of Outstanding them. If the
preachers who advocate the war be as
ignorant of the Bible as they are of the
true character and objects of the MUIR
derous assaults upon the Filipiuos,
they should abandon their present, and
