this afternoon, and the Twenty seventh

three organizations will undoubtedly be
far ahead of the others in getting

iments at the Preside will be exceed
ingly short, as transports are all ready
to take them across the Pacific. They

Riot0us Blacks Are Rounded Up BY
Troops In Georgia.
MURDERER UNDER ARREST
HE SURRENDERED TO THE SOL
DIERS FOR PROTECTION.
Several of the Ringleaders Are Still
at Large and An Effort Will Be
Made to Take Them Into Custody
Danger of More Trouble With
the Outlaws.

Darien, Ga. Aug. 26.-The roundup
of riotous negroes in Mcintosh county
by the militia today resulted in the sur
render of Henry Dellegal. the murderer
of Deputy Sheriff Townsend and the
location for future arrest of Dellegals
brother and the women directly impli-
Gated in the killing. Dellegals surrep-
der was made to Lieutenant Wood, in
charge of a detachment of thirty Sa
vannah soldiers stationed fifteen miles
in the country to back up the sheriff S
posse who were securing the swamps.
Deilegal tonight stated that he surren-
dered to the troops for protection as he
saw the sheriff's posse was closing in
on him, and his capture was only a
matter of few hours or minutes.
The arrest of Dellegal and the ar
rival of reinforcements for the militia
seem to have broken the backbone of
the defiance of the law by the negroes.
A whole regiment of troops are now on
duty in and about Darien, under COM
mand of Colonel Lawton, but it is not
believed there will be further blood
shed. There are still several ringlead-
erS of the blacks wanted by the Off
GERS of the law. Unless they come in
and surrender or are brought in by
their friends and turned over TO the
authorities, the troops will go after
them tomorrow
