TERRoRIsTs USE AUTOMOBILE.
Revoiutionists Hunt Autocrats In the
Latest Approved style.

st. Petersburg-Acoording to the
newspapers, the mysterious automo-
bile which the police have been trail
ing for several weeks in the belief
that it belonged to revolutionists and
was being used as base for terror
list conspiracy, has been seized in the
vicinity of the palace Of Grand Duke
Nicholas Nicolaievitch at Peterhof.
The machine bore false number. The
passengers were armed and could not
properly identify themselves.
The most daring exploit of the ma
chine is reported to have occurred at
Tsarskoe-Selo, where the motorists
are said to have crashed through a
fence surrounding the little palace
and made a rapid trip through the en-
closure and out again, presumably in
rehearsal for an attempt on the life
of the emperor after his return from
the present cruise in Finnish waters.

RACE WAR IN GEORGIA.
A Number of Negroes Beaten to
Death BY White Neishbors.

Atlanta, Ga.-Four attempts at as
sault on white women by negroes
within or near the limits of the city
on Saturday wrought white citizens
here to a high pitch of excitement.
The assaults Of the day followed two
others of similar nature within the
week and at least half dozen others
within the last two months, and
brought a climax Saturday night.
The mob began It's work early in
the evening. pulling negroes from the
street cars and beating them with
clubs. bricks and stones. Negro men
and women riding to their homes aft
er the work of the day were ruthless
ly torn from the cars and attacked
on the streets. In few cases negroes
retaliated during the early part of the
night. but after 10 o'clock they were
scarce in public places. The fire de-
partment was called out to disperse
the mob on Decatur street, a street
most frequented by negroes, and for a
time it seemed to hold the crowd at
bay. The police reserves were called
out and will hold the situation until
troops can be mobilized. The mob
seemed to lack leadership, and this
doubtless prevented greater slaughter.
At least Is negroes are known to have
been killed

ISLANDS IMPROVING.

Departing Governor General Pleased
With Conditions In Philippines.
Manila.-In his report made to the
Philippine commission before his de-
parture, Governor General Ide, states
that the conditions in the Philippines
have improved materially during the
fiscal year. Many provinces, says the
report, are in state Of absolute tran
guilty except in the islands of Samar
and Leyte, where fanatical sects have
caused more or less disturbance in
some provinces. Little or no interest
in politics has been manifested by the
Filipinos, according to the report, ex.
cept local agitation in Manila, where
different factions in the approaching
assembly are marked by bitterness
and intensity of feeling.

St. Petersburg.-According to dis
patches from Vladivostok received
here, the encounter between the Rus
slams and Japanese fishermen of
Kamtchatka had its origin as follows:
In July a lieutenant named Sotnikoc
with ten Cossacks and two inhabit.
ants of local village were sent to the
mouth of the WorowsM river to pro.
tect the fishing industry. They
found there Japanese fish poachers
and arrested them. The Japanese de-
manded an explanation, and when
this was given one of the Japanese
stabbed and killed Lieutenant Sotni'
koff, while his companions were also
cut down.

TAFT HAS FULL POWER
TO SETTLE TROUBLE
The Secretary Considers II the Duty
OF the United States to Give Gu
bans Another Chance.

Havana.-All classes are now
awaiting for the conditions under
which tranquility will likely be re-
stored in Cuba, and keen disappoint-
ment is expected on every side be-
cause of the likelihood OF peace being
brought about without armed Ameri-
can Intervention. That the differ
ences OF the opposing factions could
be reconciled was not generally be-
lieved to be possible until Sunday,
when it was announced that the lib.
erals and the insurgents had en-
powered committee to represent
them before the American mediators.
1t is evident that the business inter
ests of the island have no confidence
in the ability of the Cubans to rule
themselves, and now, when 1t appears
too late, they are openly favoring
forcible Intervention and possibly an
nexation.
Secretary Of War Taft is cognizant
of this general opinion that peace
cannot last unless it Is enforced by
an American army, but he considers
that 1t is the duty OF the United
States to give the republic another
chance, and believes that 1t would be
bad policy for the United States to
keep force in Cuba longer than was
required to supervise the laying down
OF arms. He said that IL the liberals
and moderates harmonize their diff
ferences the United States must re-
gard the compact as made in good
faith.
