Startling Charge Against
Granville Man.

ing Him to Kill Mrs. Catherine
Bailey.

Lorenzo Morris, now in Jail, indicted
for the murder OF Mrs. Catherine Bailey,
near Pernell, charges another man with
adm" the crime.
AS a result of this charge Lawrence
Davis, a young white man Of Granville
county has been arrested and brought to
jail here. He will be given a hearing
before Justice Of the Peace Maroon on
Saturday,.
Morris. il IS reported, says that Davis
promised to give him $50 to kill Mrs.
Bailey. and that of this he has received
had a warrant sworn out and an officer
arrested Davis in Granville and brought
him to Raleigh.
Davis desires to have Judge Graham.
or oxford, present at his elimina
hearing, hence the fixing Of this for Sat
urday. He is an honest looking Young
white man and denies any knowledge of
the murder, and of having offered Morris
money to kill the woman.
The people at the jail here say that

Turing the early hours yeSte,

During the early hours yesterday
morning Mr.. Latta, who had been con-
scious at times during the night, sank
into Inconsistencies again, and this
condition continued during the day at
intervals. A telegram announced the

c. G. Latta and Mr.. Ed. Lee, and said

night by Dr.. Rae at Hudson Street Hos

g rthat Mr.. Latta is holding his own and
if ne continues to improve the doctors
nope that he may recover. They said
tonight that the chances for his recov-
ery were much better than last night.
Mr.. Latta is arranged in bed so that he
cannot move. His head is packed IN
cracked ice. He is occasionally conScl-
Gus but all day has been in a semi-con-
scious state.
During the day yesterday the follow
ing information came in various tele-
grams:
DIR. Rae is in charge of the case and
said he could not forecast the result.
Messrs. Van C. Moore, of Raleigh, ana
Mr. Thomas Hicks, of Brooklyn, are con-
stantlv with him. A special consulta-
lion of surgeons and physicians was
asked for that an operation might be
performed but DR.. Rae said the patient
was in no condition for it and it would
add to the danger.

are mending. but the doctors are not yet

Mills to Burn Oil.s
(GaStOnia GaZptte.)

Mr.. A. T. Clifton tells US that he is
promoting a 10000 spindle mill at Waco,
Texas, and that when built it will burn
oil in its furnaces, as do the other mills
and also many railroads of that State.
The price of coal is from $40 to s4.6
per ton. All the oil contracts you want.
says Mr. Clifton, may be made for )
cents g barrel and the freight. Three
barrels Of oil equal a ton Of coal in
steam-producing capacity, so that the
saving of fuel is certainly very greatly in
favor of oil. Besides this saving there
is also a saving in labor as no fireman
is needed either on the locomotive or in
the engine rooms where oil is used.

THE CAPTURE OF MANILA.
Anderson Gives an Account Which Goes Not
Agree With Dewey's.
(By the Associated Press

Chicago, July 11.-General Thomas NJ.
Anderson has addressed to the Record
Herald a letter giving his version of the
surrender of Manila which differs ma
terially from the statements made by
Admiral Dewey. General Anderson's let
ter says in part:
Several days before the assault on the
18th Of August, Father McKinnon. the
Catholic chaplain Of the First Califor-
MIA, after going into Manila. reported
that the Governor General told him he
could not and would not surrender with
cut a fight, as he had to light for the
honor of Spain. Subsequently,, General
Merritt directed me to draw up the tacti-
cal order for the attack and this vas
done on the assumption that would be
a bona fide resistance. In the attack and
the preceding skirmishes were lost 122
killed and wounded. No written propo-
sails have come to light, and the proba-
bilities are that the Admiral was received
by the misrepresentation of the for
eign c~onsuls.
Il now learn for the first time that
my correspondence with Aguinaldo was
lot approved by the Admiral. He had no
occasion for n correspondence. wrote
some letters to Aguinaldo which seemed
necessary then. No doubt the Admiral
and Generel Merritt both thought that
they had made an agreement with the
Spanish authorities by which the city
could be taken without bloodshcd. Yet.
Captain General AuguStin was relieved
because he was willing to make such a
capitulation while his successor refused
to do SO. Speaking for the second divis-
ion of the Eighth Army Corps, permit
ne to- say that its attack on the defenses
Of Manila was not in the nature of an
opera bouffe demonstration"
