CONTEST FOR M,LAURrN's SEAT
 IN THE SENATE.
H. c. Hayward Far Ahead for Gov ernor, with Tillman's Nephew Third-D: msc-at c Primaf es
 in South Carolina.

Columbia, s. C.. Aug. B.-Democrauc primaries for the nomination of Cover nor and State ticket. Congressional rep resentatives and State Legislators were held throughout this State today. Ballots were also cast to determine successor to United States Senator McLaurin It is estimated thst' so.o0o votes were cast. but on account of late returns only 5000 votes had been reported up to midnight tonight
 Owing to the South Carolina primary law which demands that successful can didates must receive a majority of the votes cast in primaries. 1t Is entirely probable that a second primary will be ordered in which the two leading eandi- dates for. every office who failed to re- ceive a nominating vote, will be ordered. Every nomination with. the single excep. ton of the State Treasurership was bit terIy contested by many candidates.
 From returns received it Is determined that H. c. Heyward of Colleton is far ahead in the race for the Guhernatorial nomination. with ex-Congressman Tolbert second and Lieutenant Governor James H. Tillman, third.
 Partial returns received up to midnight from forty-one counties show that in the contest for the United States Senatorshir to succeed Senator McLaurin. Congress man Latiner leads ard therefore will be in the second primary. His probably competitor will be either D. c. Hender- son of Aiken or ex-Congressman J. J Hemphill.
 r;unter is named for Attorney Genera and McMahon is probably nominated fol Superintendent of Education.
 A second primary will be called 10 de termine the nominations for the offiees o Lieutenant Governor. Secretary of State Controller General, Railroad Commission CT and Congressional representatives.

Venezuelan Town in Hands of In- surgents Bombarded by Gov ernment Warships-Atroci-

Caracas Venezuela. Aug. 26.-Ciudad Bolivar, capital of the State of Bolivar has been bombarded by government war ships and many persons were killed or wounded. The place has large British population and the British subjects have requested that warship of Great Britain be sent for their protection. It is alleged that atrocities have been committed at Ciudad Boliver by both the government troops and the ,revolutionists.
 Ciudad Bolivar is still i'll the power of the revolutionists. The town was fired on day and night by the gunboats Bolivar and Resturado which attempted to land forces to re-occupy the place. About six hundred shells were fired into the city. When the ammunition of the Res turador was exhausted she left for la Guaira to obtain additional supplies. after which the bombardment will be resumed
 There arc no foreign warships in the Orinoco River to protect the interest of the powers and the British Government is being blamed in certain quarters fol abandoning the three thousand subjects of Great Britain who reside in the dis trict of Ciudad Bolivar.

M1LEs's VISIT TO PHILIPPINES
Roosvlt's ordr Directing Him to Pro- cd to Islands Made Public.

Washington, Aug. 2e.-President Roose- velt's order to General Miles to visit the Philippines reached the War Department in the mail today. General Miles is in structed to proceed about September l5 to the Philippines to inspect the army there, with reference to instruction, dis cipline and supplies
 It is the understanding that in that ca- pacity, though of superior rank. General Miles will not interfere in any way with either General Chaffee or his successor, General Davis, in the direction of the army in the Philippines.
 He will critically examine the condi- tions as he finds them, devoting his at- tention entirely to matters of army ad- minstration, and not to political affairs. and the results of his work will be enn- bodied in a set of reports. Some such work as this was undertaken few months ago by Inspector General Breck- inridge, who has prepared a voluminous set of reports, which have not yet been published, making suggestions for the bet terment of the military service at every point from transportation down to dis cipline accoutrements and supplies.
 In the. absence from Washington of General Miles, no one at army headquar- ters is fully authorized to discuss the de- tails of his projected trip. But 1t is be- lieved here he will be accompanied by at least two members of his staff, namely, Lieutenant Colonel Whitney and Colonel Reber the latter his son-in-law
 It developed that General Miies's appli- cation to go to the Philippines was of comparatively recent date and was in no way connected with the application of several months ago. When the first ap- plication was made, 1t was coupled with certain suggestions as to terminating the war, and Secretary Roots refusal to grant the first request was based largely upon these phases of the application. In view of this it Is understood that Gen. eral Miles restricted his second applica- ton, so as to make the trip one for pure- ly military purposes.
 Although the text of the application was not given out at the War Depart ment, it Is said that one of Its features Is a request that a return from the Phil ippines be made by way of the Eastern route. As the application Is approved. General Miles will return by this route. which insures his visiting Europe on his way back to America. It is expected that Mrs Miles will accompany the General to the Philippines, and it may be that his married daughter. who Is the wife of Colonel Reber, che of the Generals aides, also will accompany the party. The General will return tomorrow from his New England trip. when his plans will be more fully made known.
