Noted Spanish Grandce Came to
America to See Yacht Races.
NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-The Duke de
Alba, one of the highest grandees of
Spain, is dead in this city from influ-
enza.
The duke came to this city Sept. 81
to witness the international yacht races
as the guest of Sir Thomas Upton.
On the day of the last race he con-
tracted n severe cold, which developed
into case of influenza. His condition
improved greatly during the past few
days, and up to within few moments
of his death he was entertaining par
ty of friends. Shortly after the party
had left the duke complained to his
valet of severe pains in the region of
his heart. He was assisted to his
couch and medical aid hastily sum
moned, but before the physicians had
arrived the duke expired.
The Duke of Alba, or Alva, as it Is
sometimes spelled. was fifty-three
years old. In social and titular rank
he was the leader of Spanish society.
He was fourteen times count nine
times grandee of the first class and
twelve times a marquis. His estate
was the most extensive private prop
erty in Spain, and his palace at Mad
rid for many years had been the cen
ter of social gayety. Much of his
time had been spent, however, in Lon
don. The duke was well known in this
country, where he had been Il frequent
visitor. He was spectator of the
Americas cup races in 1893 and spent
the season of 1894 at Newport.

5 NEGROES LYNCHED.
They Were Strung Up In
Texas For the Shooting
of a Planter.
MORE LYNCRIACS MAY OCCUR.
Trouble Grew From Leasing OF Land
to Blacks, Who Refused to Harvest
Crops, or Permit the Owners TO
Do So.

Dallas, Tex. Oct. 2.--The details
were beginning to reach Dallas of a
race war In Harrison county, starting
rear Hallville, and spreading In all
directions, In which five negroes have
been lynched since last Saturday
The trouble Is said to have started
because negroes who had rented cot
ton lands from rich planters refused
to harvest their crops, or permit the
planters to get their shares Of the
yield.
A posse OF white men went to the
'Lome of q negro, Thomas Walker, on
the plantation of Julian Atwood.
Walker fired on the white men. kill
ing Atwood During the early part OF
the chase that followed, one negro
was caught and hanged. Two more
were hanged on Sunday In tho timber
near the Gregg county limo. George
.duckleroy was taken out at night
GEAR Marshall and whipped to death.
Taking 1t for granted that Thomas
Walker has been lynched, the number
of negroes killed is Ave, and Julian
Atwood, the white man. makes the
sixth victim OF the tragedy
All that has happened has taken
place in a district not covered by
telegraph or telephone. and such do
tails as have come to hand aIe from
responsible parties at Longview and
Marshall. The people OF the coun-
ties of Harrison and Gregg. both
whites aud blacks, are reported to be
in frenzy OF excitement, and more
ynchings are likely to occur.
The whites declare that the black
renters have not only refused to
gather their crops ON shares. but have
awindled them out OF money loaned
during the season, with which to pur-
chase supplies.

PRESIDENT KRUGER
May Send Special Mission to President;
Roosevelt.

THE HAGUE, Sept. :30-It is sat
ed in Boer circles here that the an
nonLcement made in the Soir, Of
Brussels, that President Kruger has
decided to send special mission to
President Roosevelt is not correct.
II appears that such q project had
been in contemplation; but the idea
is not likely to be carried out, owing
to the expense incidental to IT and
to the difficulty Of securing suita-
BILE representative The expenses
incurred since Mr.. Kruger came to
Europe have reduced the Transvaal
funds to q small sum. In fact, some
OF the Beers here are even destitute,
and ali Of them agree that Mr..
Kruger has scarcely enough for
himself.
II fs not believed that he could 60

of Mrs. Kruger he has not been the
vigorous man which he was former
~. The course probably to be
adopted w!l be that Montagn White
will be instructed to approach the
United States Government and Mr..
Kruger and the others will take no
action pending the result Of Mr.
Whites endeavor.

ing to a question to-day in the Sec
ond Chamber in regard to action in

ton as it was left by the preceding
