NEGROES REFUSE TO WORK.
The CoIored Element n New Peril in
Jacksonville.

JACKSONVILLE May "a careful
survey of the situation In this city today
reveals one startling fact. Trouble with
the negro element is imminent. There
are about 1890 colored people in Jack
sonville. OF these about 1850 have been
burned out. and yet from $500 to 4.00o are
drawing rations from the relief associa-
ton.
In other words, repeating" is being
practiced by the negroes and rapidly
spreading notion is obtaining among them
that there is no need of working so long
as free food is being distributed. Conse-
qucntiy, it is becoming difficult to obtain
negro labor and refusals to work have
been in some instances accompanied by
covert threats against the whites.
An official Of the Western Union Teie
graph Company said today that an en-
deavor to obtain negroes TO assist in line
work had proved almost futile. out of 800
men to whom employment was offered
only twenty-five accepted. This morning
two ladies were insolentiy accosted by
negro woman who was carrying a lO5f OF
bread in one hand ard fish in the other.
both obtained at neighbOring relief sta
ton This negress said:
The day of the white cracker has
passed and the negroes are on top to
stay"
y gentleman wished to employ hun
dred negroes to clear hts ground of wreck
age. He could not obtain a single laborer.
All Of those approached said there was no
need to wcrk any longer, as friends in the
North were taking care Of them.
Police officers report that hundreds OF
negroes within their personal knowledge
are obtaining food on the pretence of hav-
inc hoo
come within half a mile of their cabins
Under these circumstances it IS becoming
the general opinion that contributions of
money will help the situation here better
than any amount Of supplies.
With sufficient money in hand the ne
groes can be placed at work clearing up
the ruins. and no relief will be necessary
for their families for with wages they can
buy all the provisions needfuI. Those who
refuse to work will be made to leave town
by the military.
The money paid out in wages would go
to the retail merchants. who in turn
would purchase of the wholesale houses
here, none of which was injured by the
fire, and in their turn the wholesale
houses would buy fresh stocks in the
North, thus eventually returning the
money to the people who had furnished it,
To sum the situation up in word
unless free food distribution is withheld
from the able bodied negro population
serious trouble win follow. leading to dis
astrous results.

Our excellent consular report system

one-third of the population, that they

the military authorities will make a
thorough Investigation of the story
told by the soldiers on guard Sunday
night.
There Is an unconfirmed rumor that
the shot was the result of fall dur

guards. The officers have instructed
the soldiers not to talk and the story
of the soldiers on guard Sunday night
could not be secured until the officers
got their report from them, and while
the officers declined to be quoted the
statements were made with their
knowledge and in their presence.
None of the officers would express an
opinion as to what the object of the
intruders may have been and they also
instructed the men not to commune
cate with outsiders. The few persons
who succeeded in gaining admission
to the cemetery were directed to the
officers for all information and; the
guards were directed not to talk of the
incident among themselves while out
siders were present. This is said to
be in accordance with military regula-
lions.
Shortly after noon Captain Biddle,
commanding the guard at Westlawn
cemetery, thanked the reporters for
the fair and correct manner in which
they had described the incidents at
Westlawn cemetery Sunday night.
He said: after careful investiga-

STORY TOLD HY GUARDS.
Alleged Attempt to Dynamite the Nc.
Ktnlev Vauit

kinley Vault.
Canton, O., Oct. An attack was
made during the night on sentinel
guarding the rear OF the vault in
which the body of the late President
Mckinley rests. by two strangers, the
one engaging the attention of Sentinel
Deprend and the other making per-
sonal assault. The explanation given
is that an attempt was made to blow
up the vault with dynamite.
Guard Deprend, about 7:45 O'Clock,
saw prowler In the rear OF the vault
behind tree and in q shadow. He
challenged the fellow, and the man re-
manned motionless behind a tree. He
was then about 40 feet from the sol
der. Deprend advanced, made sec
ond challenge, and brought his gun
ready to fire. The man in the mean
time had lodged away to a second tree
about 10 feet distant from the first.
The soldier renewed his challenge and
fired, but as he did so a hard blow was
given the gun and his aim missed. A
second man had stealthily come up to
the soldier and dealt the blow At
the same time man number two struck
the soldier with heavy instrument in
the back and attempted to stab him.
A cash, "L" shaped and about two
inches long. was cut through the cloth
ing, including the overcoat, and q
small scratch was made oa Depends
body. The blow was so hard that De
prend was knocked down small hill
and was unable to gain his feet before
the fellows disappeared in the dark
ness. Lieutenant Ashbridge, who was
officer Of the day, as soon as he heard
the challenge and shot, rushed to the
assistance Of the guard. He was fol-
lowed by other soldiers.
The sentinel attacked, however, was
in the rear of the vault on hill and
before relief force could climb the hill
the men had escaped. A hunt was
made for the providers, but no trace
could be found of them. The vault is
but short distance from the west
edge of the cemetery and the men ev.
identity escaped from there into the
fields and woods near by.

BRECKINRIOcE'S REPORT.
Reports From Officers on Various
Posts All Favor the Canteen

Washington. Oct S1.-The annual

ports Of harmony and good will among
the officers OF the army, the express
sion IAN officers are thoroughly in
structed and efficient" is not heard so
frequently as before the Spanish war.
due, no doubt, to an influx OF inexperi-
enced officers. Most reports, however.
are favorable. Some lack of attention
given by officers TO their daily life and
duties Is noted. The report commends
the sagacity and ability of officers who
have conducted civil affairs intrusted TO
them abroad.
The class of recruits received Is re-
ported generally up to the standard.
The discipline of the troops is reported
generally good.
OF the post exchange the inspector
general says: THE reports show that
wherever practical post exchanges were
In operation at the garrisoned posts a,
the time Of the inspectors visit, the
prescribed rules and regulations were
being fully complied with and their
business was being satisfactorily con-
Quoted. A majority of the posts where
post exchanges are maintained were
inspected before the law prohibiting the
sale of beer In the canteens was enact
ed, and most Of the reports would not
show the effect OF that law under them.
At some OF the posts inspected II was
reported that the exchange was closed
or was being operated at loss since
the sale OF beer was prohibited, while
at others the operations under the ex-
listing law were reported to be unsatis-
factory. The sentiment of the army on
the subject is well known and Is given
expression In the following remarks OF
the inspectors:
"Col. Burton, (cuba) says Officers
generally complai nthat the elimination
OF beer has worked a hardship on the
soldier, and has been detrimental TO
good order and military discipline
