A Murderer LHnched.

About IL o'clock one morning last
week ar Russian Jew peddler was walk
ing along the public road, near Slough
Landing, Lake county, when a negro
named Williams came upon him and
knocked him in the head with an iron
coulter and, robbing him of his money,
ran away, leaving his victim more dead
than alive. He was soon found by
friends and tenderiy cared for, and
while very painfully hurt will likely re-
cover. The negro's daring is shown by
the fact that the deed was committed
on the highway in broad daylight,
within 500 yards of the residence OF
William Gates. A few hours after the
crime was committed the negro was ar
rested, carried to Tiptonsille and put
in Jail. The dastardly set excited the
indignation of the populace. The next
night about IL o'clock crowd of cool
and determined men went to the Jail,
secured the keys from the jailer, pulled
the negro from his cell and, carrying
him about a half mile from town, hung
him to the limb of an elm tree and
quietly dispersed.

MAFEK|NG IS FIRM
Beleaguered Garrison Can
Hold Out Several Months.
Fruitless and Costly Recon.
noissance at Springfield.
Many British Officers and Men
Either Killed or Wounded
by the Beers.

LONDON, Feb. IA dispatch from
Mafeking says the garrison there can
hold out until June.
An official dispatch from General Bull
Ter at Chieveley announces a reconnois-
sance Mt Springfield, resulting in no gain
of ground on either side, but causing the
wounding of Captain Hamilton Russell,
Lieutenant G.. Churchill and ten men. In
addition, Lieutenant Pilkington and six
men were captured.
The dispatch contains detailed accounts
of what appear to be unimportant opera
tions. They only tend to throw light on
the situation by proving that the Beers
are actively following General Buffers
every move.
From Field Marshal Lord Roberts, at
Modder river, where all eyes are turned,
there was no word today.
General Buffers dispatch from Chieve-
ley dated Monday, Feb. II, says:
The commanding officer at Springfield
reports this morning that squadron of
the First dragons moving to the outpost
line covering the right flank of the camp
met party of Beers near Fustenberg.
The Beers, reaching the crest of hill
first, opened a heavy fire on the squad
ron, which retired. He sent out supports,
and the Beers retired"
Continuing, the Chieveley dispatch
says:
"Dundonald, with 700 mounted men, a
field battery and the First Royal Welsh
fusileers, Feb. II reconnoitered the high
ground which the enemy has been in the
habit of visiting. The enemy evacuated
it, with the loss of two men, after slight
resistance. When the force retired on
the completion of the reconnaissance,
the enemy returned in considerable num-
Der and kept up heavy rifle fire, wound
ing slightly Lieutenant G.. Churchill Of
the South African Light horse. Five
men are missing"
1t is not quite clear who wrote the dis
patch, as Generals Lyttleton, Hildyard,
Warren and other generals are believed
to bo in the neighborhood of Springfield.
1t is thought possible that the Lieuten-
ant Churchill reported to be slightly
wounded is Winston Churchilrs brother,
John, who was recently given a commits
sion in the South African Light horse,
and who joined General Buffers COM
mand.
Mrs. Arthur Paget's entertainment last
night brought in over $1,000 for the fam
lilies of the household troops, in which her
husband is Il colonel of the Scots guards;
the Mansion House fund exceeds $780,
600. The Daily Telegraph's fund amounts
to Ell9,0OO. and The Daily Mails totals
up E77,OO0. These amounts only cover
the larger London funds and do not in
clude numerous provincial funds or large
amounts being raised to equip volunteers.
The equipment for the yeomanry hos
ptal has just left England for the Cape.
The ladies at the head of this charity
have now decided to raise funds to keep
the hospital going for six months and
have issued an urgent appeal to the Brit
ish residents of the United States.

GUERRILLA TACTICS.
Filipinos Continually Harass
the American Garrisons.
HEMP INDUSTRY RAMPERED THEREBY
Report of General Pio del PiInr's
Death-Said to Have succumbed
to Fever - His Troops Dis
banding In Consequence.

MANILA, Feb. 13.-Of late the insur-
gents in Albay province, Luzon. have
adopted harassing tactics against the
'Owns which the Americans have garri-
soncd They camp in the hills and main
.nin constant fire upon the American
outposts. When the troops sally against
them they scatter, returning when the
Americans retire.
They shoot burning arrows and have
burned a large part of the town of Albay.
Indeed, most of the larger towns in that
province are practically deserted except
by the garrisOns. Scarcely any of the in
nabitants return to their homes. They
are camping in the interior, and it is sup
posed armed insurgents prevent them go
.ng back. 1t is reported that there is
much suffering among them owing to lack
of food. AS result of these conditions
The hemp business in that section is seri.
ously hindered, and ships going for car
goes are compelled to take gangs of cool
rs to do their loading. Hemp held in the
ntcrior is quite inaccessible.
Guerrilla warfare continues south of
Manila. Two attempts have been made to
ambush the Americans General Schwan
while returning to Manila with his staff
and an escort of 100 cavalry from Batan-
gas was attacked by the insurgents. The
after were dispersed, but the Americans
1ad five men wounded.
Reports from native sources, which are
not confirmed, say General Pho del Pillar,
the insurgent commander, died OF fever
recently.
a number of ex-insurgent officials who
arrived here yesterday report that Gen
eral Rio del Pillar, the insurgcnt leader,
lied of fever n fortnight ago in the Mo-
;ong mountains.
The leaders after his death held
meeting, at which it was recognized that
t would be futile to offer further resist
ance to the Americans.
They therefore disbanded their forces,
which are now wandering in small gangs
n the hills.

bill was begun in the senate yesterday.
The speakers were two Republicans, Mr..

forceful argument Mr.. Wolcott. chair

ton.
a bill was introduced by Senator Fos
ter of Washington providing for the con
struction of a government cable line from
the United States to the Philippines.
An important bill was passed by the
house which makes universally applicable
the law that now permits the transit OF
goods in bond through certain parts OF
the United States. Under it goods in
bond can be shipped through any port OF
the territory Of the United States to for
eign ports. 1t is principally designed to
give the transportation companies of the
United States a share of the transconti-
mental trade to the orient.

Two Notable Speeches.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The inan-
cial debate in the senate reached its eli
max yesterday. Two great speeches, one
In favor of the pending senate substitute
measure and the other in opposition to it,
were delivered and both We're listened to
by senator's with close attention. The
first was delivered by Mr.. Allison Of
Iowa, the ranking member of the finance
committee. He had been an attentive
listener to the speeches delivered on the
other side of the chamber, and in the
course of his argument he presented his
answers to the points raised against the
pending senate bill. Mr.. Jones of Nevada
declared that the bill was vicious and un-
warranted, comforting too great power
upon national banks and fastening the
country to gold currency. He discussed
the question from II historical and philo-
sophical view point.

MADRID, Feb. 14.-Senator Davilla.
in the senate yesterday, questioned the
government on the subject of the report
ed sale to Great Britain of Maxim car
tridges manufactured at the Placentia
arms factory. He took the opportunity
to say that public opinion in Spain was
entirely favorable to the Beers. The pre-
mier, Senor Silvela, replied that he could
not give a definite answer, as he was not
aware whether private industry had sup
piled ammunition to England. He prom
ised. however, to endeavor to obtain the
desired information.
