lynched by a mob early this morning
shortly after 2 O'clock. About thirty

was burst open The jailor was over
powered in an instant. the keys secured
and in less than five minutes Carter
was in the hands Of the mob. He re-

on the rope other lifted his body II
died by strangulation. The mob then
quickly dispersed. During the whole
affair there was not a word spoken.
Scarcely any one in the town, outside
Of the immediate participants. knew
that the lynchng was to occur. The
electric lights had previously been ex-
-inguished and the town was in total
larkness Before the men dlsperse5
they pinned a card on the body Of the
negro bearing this inscription;
This will be the fate Of all negroes
who assault white women"

PANAY PACIFTED.

NEW YORK. Feb. IA special to
the Tribune from Washington says;
The large island of Panay, Of which
noilo is the chief port, has been enc OF
the most veXatious hotbeds Of insurrec-
tion and resistance to the American
regime in the whole Philippine archi-
pelago and the announcement that its
pacifcation has now been practically
accomplished was one OF the most
gratifying messages received by the
war department during the last week.
The Tribune has just received from
an officer on duty in Panay an inter-
esting letter written just before
Christmas, giving an account Of the
achievement, which is one Of the alb
sorbing topics throughout the Philip
pines, especially as the lead Of Panay
is apt to be followed in other islands.
He says in part;
Most Of the officers on duty through
out the fourth district, department of
the Viscayas, have had little or no
sympathy with anything relating to
civil government. They believed the
time was not ripe for it and that mill
tary administration was all that the
circumstances demanded or justified,
Although this spirit was thoroughly
understood at district headquarters.

less the district commander, Col. Ed

sible the civil and military.
Month after month the work went
on, everything possible being done to
get the officers interested in the civil
work and to inform the natives Of
their privileges and opportunities. Time
and time again elections We're ordered
to be held in certain of the pueblOs,

desired object"
On October 20, 1900. the commanding
officer Of the Circle of Jaro report
ed that not even 'hree residents nee

On November TO- the district COM
mander wrote:
