CALLAHAN ACQUITTED.


OMAHA, April 20.-James Callahan
was declared not guilty yesterday Of any
completely in the kidnapping of Edward
Cudahy. Jr.
Shortly after o O'Clock yesterday morn
ing the jury reported. Judge Baker had
evidently been expecting another verdict
and was openly disappointed.
ut is impossible fsF me to under
stand" he said, "how II intelligent men
could have agreed upon such verdict
after listening TO the testimony. The
defendant could not have chosen more
wisely IL he had been selecting his own
Representatives and the community could
not have made a more unfortunate selec-
ton. This jury is discharged without
the compliments Of the court"
Callahan's attorneys were not pres
cnt and the defendant expressed a de-
sire TO thank the jurors in his own be-
half.
This the court refused to permit. He
said the jury did not deserve any thanks.
Two other counts still exist against
Callahan and he was at once rearrested
under these. There is doubt, however,

OUTRAGE BY NEGROES.
ian Shot aud Woman Harshly Treated
Near Oliphant, Pa.

CONNELLSVILLE. Pa, April 20
The Connellsville coke region is all
stirred up again over the dastardly deeds
Of a gang Of negroes who attacked Hiram
Mcmillan, white man, and his wife in
lonely house near Oliphant, and shot
The man twice, probably mOrtally wound
ing him, and brutally assaulted the wom-
an, who also is in a serious condition
Iom the abuse.
McMillan's house sets back from the
tighway near the old historic Oliphant
furnace. Mcmillan is about 40 years
bid, but his wife is quite young woman
and the two were alone. Suddenly the
negroes, in the party being two black
women, came from hiding and attacked
The house. The men burst in the door,
dragged Mrs. Mcmillan from her hus-
bands arms and carried her out behind
an outbuildng, where the six men as
saulted her.
Leaving their victim prostrated, the
men gave their attention to the frantic
husband who had been engaged in bat
tie with one or more Of the men through
out this terrible ordeal. Mcmillan
broke from his assailants and as he dart
I'd back into his house the negroes, evil
lently thinking that he was going for
gun or revolver, drew a bead on him
aud bullet pierced his body just below
the heart. Mcmillan fell at his door
step, but before fleeing the negroes shot
At his PROSTATE body, another bullet lodg-
ing in the fallen man near the kidney.

led the husband lay at his door bleeding
and his wife lay unconscious behind the
Outbuilding about so feet away. The
woman came to herself first and found
her husband. Mrs. Mcmillan gave the
alarm and Immediately a posse was or
ganized to hunt down the negroes.
The posse did not lose much time in
getting started over the hills and in a
couple of hours came across Wesley
Lewis, one Of the supposed assailants,
who thought he would elude the officers
by hiding in some bushes. He was hand
cuffed and brought under guard to the
Fayette county Jail, where he is now be-
hind the bars. Bessie Wares and Lizzie
| Jones, the two colored women impli-
Gated in the rioting were also locked
up in Unontown. In the meantime the
word had spread throughout all Of Fay
cite county and a great number of in
| furiated whites are now securing the
foothills of the Alleghanies in the hope
Of finding the other FIVE negroes.
Mrs. Mcmillan is at her home and has
suffered severely from shock and brutal
treatment. Her friends and relatives
swear vengeance swift and terrible on
the negroes if they can get them from tn,
| officers.

GEN. CABLES ESCAPED
His Force Surprised and Cap
tured by Americans.

His Taking Much to BE Desired-Most
caught, Permitting Peaceful Natives TO
lie Buried Alive and Offering $40 For
Each American's Head.
MANILA, April 20.-Captain Wilson
Chase, with a detachment of the Twenty
first infantry, on April 20 surprised the
camp of the insurgent General Cailles at
Dugol, situated nine miles northeast OF
Cavinti, in the province Of La Guna.
Cailles was at his camp at the time OF
the American attack, but managed to
escape.
Captain Chase's force captured his ad-
jutant general, five other Of his staff Off
GERS, II men, 20 rifles. large amount Of
ammunition and stores and all the papers
and personal effects Of the Filipino gem
eral. The insurgent Major Nelo was
killed during the engagement, as were
Corporal McGill and Private Tipps, both
belonging to Company A Of the Twenty
first Several columns of the American
troops continue vigorously to pursue
General Cailles General Cailles recent
ly offered a reward of $4,000 for the
head of Captain Edward n. Jones, Jr.,
of the Ninth infantry.
For more than a year past Cailles has
commanded the insurgent forces Operat-
ing TO the east of Bay Lake, not far from
Manila. He is said TO he French
half-caste. He has reputation for vim
dictiveness and cruelty and is one Of the
two or three Filipino leaders still in the
field who have clearly ignored the OBJ
servance of honorable warfare.
The society of Mendo Ducats, whose
practice it was to assassinate and bury
alive those of their countrymen who ac-
cepted American sovereignty whenever
the latter fell into their hands operated
with the cognizance if not the support
of General Cailles. If Cailles were cap
tured it is doubtful il he could claim inn
munity for past actions under the terms
Of the amnesty. In January of this year
Cailles offered reward OF SO apiece
for the heads of all Americans brought
him.
