Lynchburg, to get the prisoner behind
the bars for safe keeping.
There was such frenzy worked up by
the people of the county, where the
search had been going on for the past
four days, that it was thought best to
spirit the prisoner away until his trial
comes up. Everybody remained quite
normal at Lexington Sunday night,
and it was q great surprise to them
when they learned he was gone yester-
day morning. By eleven o'clock the
streets, which had been thronged, were
silent, and almost everyone had retir-

morning, and were joined at THAT point
by nearly two hundred Hore. Sunday

people searching the mountains sad
Gelds for him, and who were notified
shortly after his capture.
He Thought, when he was discovered,
that it was ali made up with him, but he
soon learned that they were officers and
not lynchers. He asked the party that
took him from the cellar to kill him.
He said but for his relatives he would
now be far away from that locality, as
they bad kept him at Lexington.
The jail was regular arsenal, and
men patrolled the streets adjacent to
the JILL end courthouse. No one was
allowed to stop or eongregate 10 groups
near the Jail. There was 40 trouble to
get deputies for duty, as everyone ap'
peared willing to serve. The Jail was

licsman James Walker and Deputy
Sheriff OR. Leech and heavily arm

were placed in the Jail for additional
men if needed.

A Sensational Story.

London, June 27.-The st. James Ga
zette prints sensational article today
in which it is alleged that numerous
Clan-Na Gael emissaries in New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago have gone to
South Africa to counsel the Beers to re
sist the Eoglish to the uttermost and
promising companies of volunteers to
serve with the Transvaal troops. The
article states that the Clan-Na-Gaele
broached scheme that, inasmuch as
the Trausvaal government did not sign
the Paris convention, it may send pri-
vateers to prey on British commerce.
Twenty knots vessels, they say, are
available in American ports, which,
manned with Irish crews and furnish
ed with Transvasl papers, could ioter-
cept slow English Cape steamers, laden
with Cape gold and diamonds, and
which would make the richest prizes
since the days of the old Spanish gal
Icons. The Clan Ma, Gaels do not ask
The Trausvaal for money in return for
their services, but only the authority to
20 ahead against England.

Steamer Pawnee Burned at Sea.

New York. June 27.-The Clyde
line steamer Pawnee has been burned
ct sea. The burning hulk was sighted
off Cape Henry by the Savannah sleam-
ship City of Macon, which brought the
news to port today. Nothing was seen
OF the Pawnee's crew and their fate is
in doubt. The Pawnee was freight
steamer and piled between Boston and
Brunswick, Gu. Captain Savage, of the
City of Macon, sighted the Pawnee at
$50 yesterday morning, about forty
miles off shore. The Pawnee was all
ablaze. The course of the Macon was
immediately altered and when the
burning ship was reached, it was appar-
ent that the flames were being fed by
the cargo of cotton in her hold. She
had burned almost 10 the edge of the
water and all of her upper works, su-
perstructure and rigging were gone, ex-
cept the flagstaff, from which burning
lights were suspended, thus leading to
the belief that the fire had started in the
plight. Captain Savage calculated that
the Pawnee had been burning about
II hours when he saw her. There were
absolutely no signs OF lie about the
burning vessel. Captain Savage thinks
the crew may have taken to the small
boats.
The vessel carried crew of "a men
aud had no passengers. Her value was
100000 and she was insured.
Marcus Hook, Del, June 27.-Cap-
tain rarrant, of the British steamer Al
doborough, from Cardenas, for Phils'
delphia, reports Witnessing the Pawnee
burned to the waters edge 100 miles
east of Cape Charles. The Aldoborough
stood by but saw no evidence of crew
or boats.
Wilmington, N. c., June 27.-The
steamer George w. Clyde of the Clyde
Line, picked up the crew of the Paw
nee, her burned sister ship, OF the same
line.
Captain Savage, of the City OF Macon.
who first reported the burning of the
Pawnee said he had passed Clyde
liner, southbound, few hours before
sighting the Pawnee and was of the
opinion that it had picked up the crew.

TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE a7, 1899

No matter in what name war may be
declared, having once begun, it is al
ways prosecuted with the object OF sue
cess. and, with that object in view, ha-
mainly, civilization, Christianity aud
alI else are obscured. 1t is then fire
and iron and blood and misery and
death that usurp the place of every
thing. and men become beasts in their
absorbing desire to achieve victory and
prevent defeat. The fact, Therefore, that
recently, sick Americans were taken
from the hospitals at Manila and hur'
riedly marched ten miles-to the front,
in temperature OF 'l04, while not at all
surprising, cannot, even by the most
pronounced "humanitsrian," be said to
have been conducive to either Christi
anity, civilization or even morality.
