TROUBLE WAS Threatened
Arrival of Troops Prevanted an
Outbreak.

Beaufort, s. C.-Murmurings OF ne
groes today caused apprehension OF an
uprising, and the authorities at once
sought to secure military protection.
Col. r. w. Patterson, in command at
Fort Screven, Ca, was asked for q
company of regular troops, who arrived
tonight, fully armed and equipped.
The discomfort among the negroes
was caused by the killing OF William
Bennett, a negro, by guard. The
negro was discovered hanging about
the ruins Of the Peoples Bank, one of
the buildings destroyed by the fire of
yesterday. To the challenge of the
guard no satisfactory response was
made, and the guard fired.
The negroes, impressed by the pres
ence OF the regulars, have ceased their
hostile demonstrations and the military
apparently have the situation In hand.
