They Want No Troops.
The one red flag that arouses the
resentment of the low-abiding popu-
lace is the posting of troops here. It
is believed that If uniformed men are
called out to protect the negroes there
will be trouble from some of the hot
heads In compliance with advices to
this effect, the Governor has ordered
that the troops which have been on
guard be dismissed, but orders were
also issued to Capt. Cone to keep in
touch with his men as a safeguard.
A meeting was held this afternoon
about four miles from the vicinity Of
the place where the crime was COM
mitted. II was attended by about 200
representative citizens, and from state
ments made by those present, it was
wholly for the purpose of counseling
the hot heads to keep quiet and let the
law take it's course. Several speeches
were made, all of which were impreg-
mated with advice for calmness. Reso-
lutions were passed and signed by ev-
cry one present that IL the militia was
kept away there would be no trouble.
Eleven Are in Jaii.
There are eleven negroes in Jail, held
either as participants in the crime or
as witnesses. Those directly concern
ed are Paul Reed and win Cato, as
principal, Handy Bell. Dave Young
and his wife, Eliza Young. win Rainey,
Hattie Reed. Ophelia Cato, and Lon

Rev. A. J. Gains. Dave Bennett, Phil

Parker, the Democratic nominee for
President, is spending the night at the
Winnisook Club, 2,700 feet above sea

which is the highest point in the Cats

twelve miles from the nearest tele-

JAPANESE VESSELS
PRACTICALLY UNHURT,

Toxic. Aug. IA, 8 p. MIN the
fight of Aug. 10 the squadron un-
der Admiral Togo was practically
uninjured. The battleship Mix
asua suffered the most, but she
continues on the fighting line.
The cruisers Yakumo. Nisshin
and Kasuga also were hit, but
temporary repairs already have
been made and they are fully serv-
iceable.
Eleven wounded officers and six
ty-six wounded men arrived at
Sasebo to-day.
The steamer Gaelic. bound for
Shanghai, at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning sighted a Russian cruiser,
evidently the Novik, steering south
east by east. This course showed
her to be heading for Van Die

Van Dieman strait is about 120
miles south of Nagasakb and 1t
would be presumed from the No
vik's going in this direction that
she purposes to try to reach Vladi-
vostok by the east coast of ia

TO SALUTE THE TURKS
AND LEAVE SMYRNA
Such are the Instructions Sent Ad-
miraI Jewell.

Constantipole. Aug. 14.-After pro-
longed pourparlers and considerable
haggling on the part of the Turks, a
satisfactory solution of the American
school question has been arrived at.
This matter, which is the most impor-
tant of the American demands, was
settled by extending to American
schools the same treatment as that ac-
corded to schools under the protection
OF other Powers.
A settlement Of other matters affect
ing American interests in Turkey Of
secondary important also has been eff
fected, and Minister Leishman has tel
egraphed to Rear Admiral Jewell, in
command of the United States squad
ron sent to Smyrna, instructing him
TO salute the batteries on land and de-
part.
The sitting Of the council OF minis
ters at which the settlement was
agreed upon was a long one and II
was not until near its close that an
agreement was reached. The delay in
the settlement is believed to have been
caused by the Intervention Of the pal
ace functionaries whose policy, I'm or

other. A slip moose was put around
the neck Of each ofsth prisoners and
they were made TO run the hand car
into Statesboro shortly before day
break.
Tonight it is not known who will
represent the negroes in to-morrow's
trial Attorney John e. Myrick Of
Savannah, whom it was reported the
negroes had employed to defend Cato
and Reed, failed to arrive tonight.
The Statesboro bar met last week,
but no one would volunteer to take
the cases. A list of attorneys was then
mailed to Judge Daley, and he ap-
pointed Messrs. r. Lee Moore, Howell
Cone, and Julian Anderson. When Mr..
Myrick was telephoned as to whether
or not he would represent the negroes,
he replied that he would, and then
the Statesboro attorneys dropped out.
1t is probable now that the attorneys
named by Judge Daley in the first
instance will act.
Kumor of Lynching started by Joke.
The rumor which was current on the
streets Of Savannah to-day that a de-
termined and successful effort had
been made to lynch Reed and Cato
grew out Of the fact that several young
men played a practical joke on the Of
ficers in charge of the jail About 10
o'clock one of the members of Capt.
Cones company, dressed as a civilian,
approached the front of the jail and
loudly called for Capt. Cone. Almost
at the same time boys stationed at
each Of the street lamps put them out,
and there was general alarm. which,
when Investigated, proved that only a
joke had been attempted. About $50
men and boys assembled on the Court

DECLARES RUSSIANS
STARTED THE FIGHT.

Toxic, Aug. IA, p. m.-The Navy
statement covering the Che Foo Incl
dent
According to reports received to
date, the Asashiwo and Kasumi, be-
longing to the first destroyer flotilla,
Capt. Fujimoto commanding, were dis
patched in search of the enemy's ships
scattered during the engagement on
the night of Aug. 10. They found a
vessel resembling one of the enemy's
destroyers and gave chase, but lost her
in the darkness.
Continuing the search they discov-
cred that she had entered the port of
Che Foo.
The Japanese ships waited outside
the port, but the Russian failed to
leave.
Capt. Fujimoto, anticipating its es-
cape during the night, if possible, to
attack merchant vessels, entered Che
Foo with two destroyers and found the
Russian destroyer Ryeshitelni remain
ing undisarmed.
Lieut.. Terashima was then sent to
The Russian vessel with a message to
the effect that the Japanese command
er expected him to leave by dawn or
surrender.
Inc Russian commander refused to
comply with either demand, and while
the conference was still going on he
was heard instructing his men to blow
up the ship.
At the same time he caught Lieut..
Ierashima and threw him overheard.
our interpreter was next thrown
oVerboard by some Russian sailors and
others among the sailors showed signs
or resistance.
While this was progressing the for
ward magazine exploded, killing some
o. our men. We then captured the de-
stroyer and retired.
Our loss by the explosion was one
man killed and four men mortally
wounded.

the time when a definite response
would be given to Mr.. Leishman by
his majesty. The date then fixed was
postponed to Thursday, but on Thurs
day Mr. Leishman telegraphed that
the promised reply had not been re-
ceived.
Thereupon the President directed
that the Mediterranean squadron
should proceed to Smyrna, in order
that, if the Sultan's reply should be
still withheld or given and prove un-
favorable, the minister might be re-
ceived on board with the courtesy due
to his high office and conveyed to some
convenient place; while Mr.. Leshman
was instructed to press again for an
immediate answer. waiting which he
was to depart on indefinite leave of alb
sence and repair to the flagship. He
was especially charged to endeavor to
reach satisfactory assurance of set
tlement before the arrival of the fleet
at Smyrna in order that its visit
might be one of friendly courtesy be-
fitting the good understanding of the
two governments.
Made satisfactory Reply.
The fleet did not reach Smyrna un-
til Aug. 12 On Thursday afternoon
the Sultan gave assurance that no
discrimination shall be made between
American schools and those of other
nationalities and, incidentally, offered
an indemnity in the amount claimed,
5000 pounds, Turkish, to an American
citizen, Mrs. Lane, as the price of
property owned by her.
The main object, which was to OBJ
tain from the Sultan a positive pledge
of the most favored nation treatment
for our schools i'm Turkey, having
thus been accomplished, the presence
of the fleet is no longer necessary, and
orders have been given for its with
drawal. Mr.. Leishman was accord
ingly instructed to secure without de-
lay such a formulation of his majes-
tvs pledge as will secure for our edu-
cational establishments perfect equal
ity of rights with those which France
and other nations enjoy. under con-
ditions not less favorable than those
which France obtained by the agree
ment of Mytelene in 1901, which de-
mand has been complied with

but that he would have to kill him a
man before he could get it,
Eliza Young is held on the statement
of Reed that she watched at the end
of the lane while the crime was being
committed. 1t is understood that
there is considerable evidence to cor
roborate Reeds statements.
So far Cato has very little to say.
To-day, however. he made statement
to Sheriff Kendrick, which the officer
refuses to discuss further than to say
it will quickly end the case when it
comes to trial.
1t is not believed. however, that IL
either of the negroes attempt to make
a bold confession it win be permitted
to be made without proper guards, as
such a statement would be a too severe
tax on wrought-up feelings of the cit
izens.
No Change of Venue.
Judge Daley has made no statement
as to a change of venue, but It is
believed that he will entertain no such
motion, even though one be made.
When Sheriff Kendrick returned
from Savannah with the prisoners, he
had no trouble in getting them here.
In company with Agent Gale, of the
Savannah and Statesboro Railway, he
took the prisoners across the mile
bridge over the Ogeechee river, he
