Instantly a large number of white men
went to the rescue Of the white boys
The fighting started off in real earnest and
the police were called out
In the melee rocks were the principal
weapons used and for a few minutes IL
looked ike a vertable rock storm. Sew
eral shots were fred by some of the white
parties, but after the disturbance had been
quelled and the negroes dispersed, it was
learned that no one was shot, but that
five negroes were wounded by being hit
with rocks.
For a while the serenity of the usual
Sabbath calm was seriously disturbed and
what threatened TO b. a serious race clash
was happily averted by the early arrival
OF the police. No arrests have been made
yet.
The campmeeting to-day was attended
by 5000 people and the greatest enthu-

washington, Aug. 2O-The map of the
r,r5rnlnes. especially of that portion of
.r island of Luzon north and south of
Manila. which has been prepared for the
,.-s of Secretary Root, may assume more
fr,nortant part in the coming campaign
man has been given It heretofore.
secretary Root has not only ascertained
where the United States troops are .ocat-
"a and marked them off on the map, but
has also taken into consideration such in
formation as can be obtained relative to
The population of the adjacent country,
the kind of people and their disposition
toward the United State. The secretary has
also been studying the lines of transpor-
,ation and learning what he can of the
geography of the country.
IL is believed that more than one army
can operate TO advantage in the Philip
mines. and the suggestion has been made
bv some officers that an army should start
from different points and operate in such
a manner as to distract and destroy the
Filipino forces. At present the United
States forces do not occupy the line of
railway half way to Lingayen, on the gulf
of the same name. 1t has been suggested
that if one force were TO start from
Iingayen and move south at the same
time that another were moving north,
there would be a very great probability
of soon securing the entire railway for
the use of the army, and the insurgents
would be separated into divisions east
and west by the road, as they are now
divided into northern and southern bands
Between Angeles and Lingayen is Tar
lac a town of considerable size, and sit
uated in province where the natives are
said to be not unfriendly to the United
States If this province could be occu-
pied it might be of great advantage to
the government.
While these are now merely suggestions.
it may be that when the army in the
Philippines consists. of 10000 men instead
Of about 600 or 25O0O, it will be possible
TO have four or more armies opera ting
instead of two, as during the last cam
pagn.
The locations of troops as marked by
pins on the map prepared for Secretary
Root show the places occupied as fol-

Hooker Washington Doesn't See
Why He Was Attacked

Saratoga, n. Y, Aug. 2O.-Booker T.
Washington of Tuskegee, Ala. in an inter-
view, said tonight, with regard to the
reports sent out from Chicago as to the
assaults made upon him by two men,
bers of the Afro-American council at
Chicago last week, after Washington had
left Chicago to fill an engagement in Sara
toga:
When I left Chicago it was with the
very happiest understanding with all the
leading spirits of the council, from Presi-
dent Walter down, as to the good that
could be accomplished along the lines
which l have taken no trouble to disguise
as being what I regard as for the best
interests of the race
Some of my race think I ought to par
tcipate in political activity and discus.
sion Personally I have not entertained
this view and l shall not do So There
are plenty OF others to do it. l shall
sun continue in the future, as in the
past, to devote myself TO the moral, ed
ucational and industrial development of
the race. In this way l feel that / can
be of more service at this time than in
any other. Whatever few critics may
say in public and in private as to my
work and as to my course. l have the SUI
preme satisfaction of knowing l am sus-
tanned by the knowledge that l enjoy the
confidence, the sympathy and the respect
of the most thoughtful and forceful mem
bers of the AfrO-Amercan race"

Vice President Hobart was not so well

Omaha, Neb., Aug 2O.-The state con-
vention of the Democrats, Populists and
Silver Republicans of Nebraska will meet
in this city Tuesday, Aug. p, to nominate
a candidate for justice of the Supreme
Court and two members of the board of
regents of the state university. There
will be an attempt to fuse all the parties
on the nominations. with prospects of sue

Ex-Gov Silas Ho.comb, Populist, is the
leading candidate for the Supreme bench,
and the present outlook is that he will re-
ceive the nomination. w. J. Bryan is a
delegate to the Democratic convention,
and it is reasonably safe to predict that
his wishes will govern the action of that
body This means that fusion will be

for free silver
There is likely to be some friction be-
fore fusion is effected and a long-drawn
fight on some of the details, but the gen.
erai feeling here is that the three elements
will come together. The platform will, In
oil prOba bility, declare against expansion
and criticise the administration for its
conduct of the Philippine war.
