was due to Ignorance of the regulations

Hagood, May 1S-A difficulty
occurred here this morning be,
tween Gus Sanders, white, and
Thomas Wright, colorcd, in which
Wright was seriously if not NOR

young Sanders had leased the
Anderson pond, a celebrated fish
ing place, and had posted same,
prohibiting everyone from fishing
there without permission. Wright
had trespassed, and Yesterday
Sanders met him and gave per-
sonal notice that it must not be
repeated. Wright became Insolent
and informed Sanders that he
would fish there whenever he
pleased, and that he (Sanders) nor
anyone else could prevent him.
He further said that he would 90
fishing today and would have a
breech-loader to protect him.
This morning the two met at or
near the pond, and after a few
hot words Wright opened fire
with his breech loader, which was
returned by Sanders, and as a re-
suit Wright has two Ioads of No.
4 shot in his body.
The result of the wounds can
not yet he told. The affair is
very much regretted in this law
abiding community, where diff
iculty rarely ever occurs between
a white and colored person.
A fine rain fell hero yesterday
afternoon. 1t was very much
needed. Oats and wheat will be
benefited, and the last planting
of cotton will now come up.

Americans permit freedom of
speech. The proclamation closes
with asking the Filipinos to still

that the American policy would become

understand what the United States would
90 from one week to another. This inter-
esring gossip is quite incomprehensible in
itself As far the case can be adjudged
at this end there has been no uncertainty
in the American policy toward China. From
the outset there have been two clear funda-
ments-no partition and the open door.
Everything the United States has done has
tended toward these ends. 1t has striven
to prevent the imposition of exorbitant de-
mands. in order to keep China from an
obstructive attitude. in the belief that only
through such a process would it be pos
sibie to avert partition. 1t has sought to
keep the indemnites at the lowest figure
compatible with international dignity. 1t
protested successfully against the German
proposition that the punishments should be

There may have been some unavoidable
shifting of ground at Pekin on the part of
Minister Conger. in whose hands the nego-
tiations have been entrusted, but 1t may be
assumed that at no time has he changed
from the principles already laid down. 1t
Is known that he has demurred to certain
items in the bill of demands, but there is
no evidence that he has sought to embar-
JaSs the negotiations or has confused the
situation by caprice. 1t is evident that
some mischief-makers have been at work
there. and it may be that they have adroit-
ly sought to shift the blame to the United
States.

Is AguinaldO Deadf

An interesting story comes from Manila.
as reported in the news columns today, to
the effect that evidences point strongly to-
ward Aguinaldo's death. The circumstances
which give rise to this belief are certainly
suggestive in the aggregate and it may be
that the Tagal leader has succumbed to
wounds or disease. 1t appears that there
is some rivalry between certain of the in
surgent generals for the title Of com
mander-in-chief' of the forces and this
lends color to the belief which prevails at
Manila that Aguinaldo has been eliminated
by death from the situation. If Aguinaldo
be in fact dead greater Roadway may be
expected in restoring peace to the islands.
With him would perish most of the sub
stance Of the insurgent organization. The
jealousies which his power suppressed
would soon break forth into intense fac
tionalism leading speedily to the democrat
ization of the rebel forces and the paciti-
cation of the islands.
