FOUR OAKS MUCH AROUSED.
Drunken Negroes Invaded the Town
and There Was Row.

and There Was n Row.
Charlotte, N. c., May 16.-Eighteen
drunken negro railroad hands and timber
cutters went 30 the little village of Four
Oaks, threatening to kin every white
man. They were armed.
The crowd commenced to curse and
raise a disturbance. The town policeman
attempted to arrest a negro for disorder
ly conluct. whereupon the negroes mob
bed the policeman, who was named San
derlin, and beat him insensible. His face
was badly disfigured and he was bloody
almost from head to foot.
Some white men attempted 10 aid the
policeman, but were knocked down or
shot at Much mischief would have been
done by the negroes, who were oil drunk,
but for the action OF the white merchants
and railroad employees of the town. Sew
eral negroes were wounded, but not fat
ally, and several white men injured. The
negroes sent word that they intend to
visit the town again and kill the police
man. The whites will be ready when
they come again. The action of the ne
groes was totally without excuse or prov
ocation and was a complete surprise to
the whites At least f1ftene or twenty
people on the two sides were injured.

these senators were not willing, said Mr..
Bacon, to undertake the work he knew OF
senators who were
Mr. Bacon maintained that the United
States government was not in Cuba by
authority of law. Our officials were not
there in the exercise of the war power
nor in possession of conquered territory.
They were there simply under an avowal
by Congress in the declaration of war
that the United States would pacify the
island and then leave II to the control of
its people. Money had been spent that
was unnecessary for the paciilcation Of
the island had been expended illegally.
He inquired by what law or right we
had introduced our postal system in the
island; and by what law a governor gen.
eral of Cuba had been appointed.
In the Philippines and in Porto Rico
we had exercised the war power because
they were conquered territory, but Cuba
was not conquered territory.
When" he declared. shall we carry
out our pledge and leave the island to
its own inhabitants?"
This question was answered, In part,
he thought, by the statement from the
war department that the present tariff
laws enforced on the island were to be
continued another year.
The resolution was then made subject
to the call Of any senator, Mr. Plat of
Connecticut expressing a desire to speak
thereon.
Bills were passed granting S100 monthly
pension to the widow of Gen. Lawton;
to facilitate the coasting trade between
the United States and Porto Rico and
Hawaii. Seventy-seven pension bills were
passed.
The conference report on the District of
Columbia appropriation bill was agreed
to without debate.
At Sis p. m. the Senate adjourned.

SEQUEL OF .nuLLEn's ADVANCE.
Occupation of Glencoe Came in the
Course of Events.

Course of Events.
London, May 16.--The occupation of
Glencoe was merely a logical sequel of
Gen. Buffers advance and The Beers re-
tirihg movement. AS usual, the Boens
are reported TO be flying precipitately,
but also as usual, the accounts add that
their transport and guns were removed
in safety, which In itself is a contradic-
ton of any statement that the Beers
were panlc-stricken.
The prolongatlop of the Mafeking siege
only intensihcs Great Britain's anxiety

About LOO more troops have arrived at
Petra. Portuguese East Africa. The Gov
