 Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. 1T.-At mid night Sheriff Huddleston has a party of 100 men at Antras, the scene of the threatened trouble in the Jellico min ing district and believes that he has the situation well in hand for the night.
 The commissary In which the sher- frs party and the negroes are en- trenched. is surrounded by band of miners and mountaineers. There is constant firing among the hills around the camp. but no direct attack on the sheriff's party has been made The latter, fortified as 1t is, Is strong enough to repulse an attack by party several times its strength.
 Negroes are arriving at Jellioo and other towns in a state of terror, some of them having been in hiding ali day, while others camped out last night. While no killings have been reported. 1t Is considered possible that negroes may have been slaln in the mountains and nothing known of it. The mine owners are holding conference in Knoxville at midnight. but what will be brought out cannot be foretoid.

 The declaration that Aguinaldo. for mer insurgent leader. Is seeking ofice in the city council of Manila, is be- lieved by many Americans to be a good sign. as it indicates an interest on the part of the higher classes of Fiiipinos in the present government than has ever been made manifest.
