SUDDEN RUSH BY PRISONERS.
Three Americans Left to Guard I'if-
ty FiIIbinOs-Cnptnin's Indis-
erection Criticised.

Manila, May lS.-Capt. Clough Over
ton, of the Fifteenth cavalry, and
Private Harry Noyes, who were killed
May l5 at Sucatlan, Mindanao, met
their death at the hands of insurgent
prisoners whom they were guarding.
Their companion in this duty. Private
IIartlow. was wounded at the same
time. Capt Overton's troops of the
Fifteenth had been scouting in the de-
partment of Misamis, Mndanao, on
the trail of the insurgent leader
Flores The cavalrymen captured 30
of Flores followers and confined them
in house at Sucatian. Capt Oyerton
and three men remafned 10 guard ,al
prisoners while LIEUT. Cameron con
iinued in pUrs8.t of Yares. The pris-
0uers suddenly broke out of the
house where they were confined, Sc
cured their bOlos and rushed the four
Americans on guard. Capt Oyerton
was slashed with a holo, and bled to
death. After escaping the insurgents
gathered and renewed the attack on
the Americans. The cavalryman who
was not wounded repulsed the enemy
and defended his dead and wounded
companions until the return of Lieut..
Cameron. Capt. Oyerton is criticised
for having kept only three men to
guard 80 and for neglecting to de-
stroy the insurgents bolos. Flores is
a Nisayan and the majority Of his
followers are Paganos living in the
MisamiS mountains.

Four Are unopposed.

In spite of the unusual spirit Of
the State campaign and the strenu-
business that is being displayed in
many of the contests, there are still
four State officers who are running
unopposcd for reelection, and there
seems to be little likelihood thai
they will have opponents.
The four officers in question are
Insurance Commissioner W. c.
Cole, State Superintendent of Edu-
cation Whitfield, State Land Com
missioner Nall and State Revenue
Agent Writ Adams. These gentle
men have made several trips out
among the voters, but they are not
wasting much time and money in
conducting active campaigns, be-
lieving that the voters Of the State
would prefer TO see them giving act
i've attention to their duties, and
feeling confident Of a cordial en-
dorsement of their respective ad.
ministrations when the votes arc
counted after the August primary.

Jackson is enjoying a real estate

are at a premium and good suburban
lots are held at high figures with
ready takers. There are a good

of these has it that Marks & Co.,

it is stated they will erect a depart

ton will be pushed with all possible
celerity, and it is expected that the
building will be completed by Sep

Judge WhitfieId's New Term.

Judge A, II. Whitfield of the Su-
preme Court began his new term as
Judge of the high court last week.
Judge Whitfield was recently ap,
pointed by Gov. Longino to succeed
himself. The term just beginning
is for nine full years and the judge
will draw the increased salary which
the last legislature provided. The
salaries were increased by the legis-
lature to $500, to begin after the
expiration of the terms then pend
ing. as the salaries could not be in
creased or diminished for the terms
running. Judge Whitfield has been
ranking as chief justice Of the court,
which title is given by courtesy Of
the court to the justice whose term
will first expire. The title now goes
to Judge Price, who is now serving
the lmexpired term of Judge Terral.
Judge Whitfeld's reappointment
was expected as a matter of course
bv the people of the State and there
was no opposition whatever to him.
On the contrary he seemed to be the
unanimous choice of the people.

Is Yet in Doubt.

The primary election to deter
mine the next governor of Missis-
sippi is yet three months off Many
things may happen within that time
and it is preposterous to talk of fore
casting the result by counties at this
stage Of the campaign. In some
counties of course where personal
and other considerations control the
sentiment, it is easy enough to assert
that this or that candidate has the
advantage at the present time. Sew
eral attempts to make sentiment for
favorite candidates have been made
by forecasting the results by coun-
ties ; but it will be found that a care

that there is a large half Of the yot-
ing population in Mississippi that

seeking light to guide them in cast
ing their ballots. They are not the
least disturbed by the shouting of
boistcrous partisans. Kinds county
doubtlcs affords as fair an example
of the general situation as any other
county Fully one-haIf of the voters
of Kinds are doing no talking. Of
the other half it is about an even

Race Riot in Smith County.

A bloody race war has broken out
near Burns, in the northern part
Of Smith county. Reports are that
Mr.. Craft, a white farmer, and sew
oral negroes have been killed, and
that the war is still going on. The
whites are securing the county,
shooting and whipping all suspi-
clous negroes. -
The trouble began last week. A

Bruce boys tried to jump their
crops, Bruce had advanced con-
siderable money to the negroes and
told them they would have to return
to work or make the debt good.
When found the negroes were
aith a party of friends and boldly
told Bruce that they would do nei-
ther, and that he couldn't make
them. Bruce then went to collect a
posse Of friends.
While searching for the negroes
the whites were ambushed and fired
upon. Craft fell mortaIly wound
ed. The white men returned the
fire, and in turn killed several of
their assailants, pursuing the ne
grocs wherever found.
