STORY Is NOT BELIEVED.

Report Current That American Omcer
Led a Beer Attack.
War department officials do not be-
lieve the story that comes from South
Africa to the effect that Captain Carl
Reichman, Seventeenth infantry, was
one Of the leaders Of the Beers at the
last fight between the Beers and the
English at the Bloemfontein water
works.
Reichman's brother officers, men
who knew him we'll, say that it is very
probable that Reichman occupied
some conspicuous point of vantage
from which to view the fighting, and
his discovery in uniform by the Brit
ish was the basis for the assumtion
that he was one of the Boer leaders.
Reichmsn was selected by General
Miles personally to accompany the
Boer forces during the war as an OBJ
server for the United States army.
His colleagues in Washington de-
clare that the officer has too much
common sense to be led into a violation
OF his orders in the manner described.
1t is understood the English war Office
has no information as to who COM
manded the Beers in the affair leading
to the capture of the British guns, but
it places no credence whatever in the
report that United States attache or
any one connected with the United
States government took part In it.

A special from San Juan de Porto
Rico says: A crowd Of about 500 per-
sons gathered Monday at q pier under
construction by the E. B. jerks Co.,
of New York, intimidated the native
carpenters and forced thirty-five Of
them to quit work. The present rate
of wages is $3.50 per ten-bour day,
The leaders OF the movement demand
ed and eight-hour labor day.
At noon Thursday q mob of over To-
900 people assembled and attacked the
st. Thomas lsborers. There were $50
policemen on duty, but they made no
attempt to dispense the crowd, aid
company of infantry was called out to
preserve order. The crowd was not
violent beyond beating a few men.
The agitators were headed by Santiago
IgIesias, late delegate to the labor con-
vention at New York.
The leaders from st. Thomas refus-
ed to return to work, being afraid Of
attack after hours. The wOrkmen
who were satisfied and willing to work
were forced out by the sO-called union
leaders, with the result that the ma
tives will not be engaged. The COM
pany has cabled to the United States
for twenty-five carpenters. They will
arrive on the next steamer. The pier
is now protected by soldiers.

QUEEN in IRELAND.
Her Royal Majesty Is Well Re-
ceived By Emerald Isle
Subjects

A London special says: Queen Vic
toria left Windsor Monday evening en-
route for Ireland. Her majesty was
accompanied by Princess Christina
and Prince Henry, of Battenburg, and
attended by the countess of Antrim,
Hon. Harriet Phippa, Sir Arthur
Biggs, Private Secretary to the Queen
Sir Fleetwood Edwards, keeper of her
maiesty's privy purse, and Captain
PoDsonby.
The passage of. the channel was
smooth and the queen suffered no
discomfort. although she expressed
regret that the premature departure
from Holyhead, owing to the threat
ening weather conditions, should cause
her Irish subjects disappointment. 1t
had been officially announced that she
would reach Kingstown, seven miles
from Dublin, at $50 p. m. Tuesday
instead of 2 p. m, but at the latter
hour the Victoria and Albert doomed
up through the haze and rain and was
greeted with the thunder of 81 guns
from each ship of the British channel
squadron.
Thousands had poured into Kings
town regardless of the pelting rain,
which luckily ceased about O'Clock
and they braved the cold winds and
murdered mud until midnight. The
celebrations were confined to an illum-
ination of the war vessels and to few
fireworks here and there.
A shining shamrock stood out
against the blackness of Dublin
bay, and from the jackies clustered on
the decks of the squadron came the
strains of God Save the Queen, +"
which were taken up with will by the
patient crowd on shore, and when
Soldiers Of Queen" floated across the
quiet water, the spectators on Kings
town pier joined in with equal feryor.
Although all political conditions are
represented in Kingstown, there was
no attempt at q counter-demonstra-
ton. In fact, the evenings fireworks,
singing and cheering were not marred
by any hostile note.

ALLEN FULLER HANGED.
Had No Statement to Make Ex-
cept That He Was Innocent of
the rIurder of rIrs. Potfle.


Allen Fuller, the negro who nur-
dered Mrs. Eugenia Hamilton Pottle
on the night of November 2oLh, 1899,
was hanged in the Bib county Jail at
Macon, Ga, Monday morning.
The negro, made no confession and
merely stated, when he was given an
opportunity to speak, that what he had
said was true.
No newspaper men were allowed to
be present by Judge FELTON,, aud only
the ministers of the gospel were al
lowed In the Jail. besides the physi-
clans and the officers who were needed.
Fuller's remarkable nerve failed him
As he walked on the gallows. The
officers had to hold him on the trap
door when Sheriff Westcostt pulled
the trigger, as he had fallen forward
against the railing.
The attending physicians say that
the execution was one of the most sue
cessful that they have ever witnessed
and that the Degro's neck was broken.
Fuller slept well Sunday night and
ate hearty breakfast Monday morn
ing. Up to the last moment he seem
ed to show little dread Of the ordeal
before himp and not until he was on
the trap did he show any weakness.
The streets on each side of the Jail
and the parks in the center were
crowded with negroes, who began to
assemble by s o'clock. There were
many white people also, but the crowd
was quiet, there being no demonstrs-
ton at all. In order to avoid any dis
order that might have occurred, how
ever, Chief Boifeuillet had q special
force of police placed around the Jail.
About 1870 Sheriff Westcott and
the physicians arrived at the Jail.
They were followed almost immediate
ly by several colored ministers, Revs.
w. G.. Alexander, 8. NJ. Hawkins, NJ.
d. Spencer, 81. I. johnson and ). R.
McClain.
They were taken at once to Fuller's
cell where q short service of song and
prayer was held. Fuller expressed
the belief that he bad been converted
and after death would go. to heaven.
The service lasted for Is minutes, and
after it had been completed the minis
tiers asked that they be allowed to
have a short prayer and sing one
verse of song just before the muir
derer was sent into eternity. The re-
quest was granted.
When Fuller was led to the gallows
q song was sung and brief prayer for
the soul Of the doomed man was said.
Fuller was then asked If he had any
statement to make.
He replied: mo, sir; I have got
nothing more to say than I have al
ready said. did not commit the muir
der and am innocent. What 1 have
already said is true"
The black cap was then put over his
head and the rope adjusted. The drop
fell promptly at IL o'clock and Fuller
was pronounced dead in five minutes
by the physicians who were present
