LIEUTENANT SHOT COLOWft.
Scott of the Fourth Kentucky Regk
meat Fired on Colson.
Anniston, Ala., Feb. 13.— The trouble
that has been brewing for some time be
tweeu Colonel David G. Colson and
First Lieutenant E.D. Scott of the Fourth
Kentucky culminated in a pitched bat
tle, in which Colonel Colson was shot
in the hip and Lieutenant Scott and
many others had narrow escapes.
The encounter occurred in a restau
rant here about midnight. Lieutenant
Scott was sitting at a table eating with
a friend, Lieutenant Blakeman of the
same regiment, when Colonel Colson
entered. He walked over near the two
men at the table and after looking at
them a few seconds stepped up and
pulled Lieutenant Blakeman’s ear, at
the same time applying a vile epithet.
Lieutenant Scott declared that Lieu
tenant Blakeman was his friend and he
would not allow him to be insulted. At
this Colonel Colson drew a pistol and
Lieutenant Scott rose from his chair
with a pistol In each hand.
There were quite a number of men
in the place and while some say they do
not which tired first, others de
clare that Colonel Colson opened the
fight.
Probably a dozen shots were fired be
fore the others present could stop the
fusillade. As if by a miracle, Colonel
Colson was the only man injured in the
engagement. Further trouble is feared.
Lieutenant Scott was arrested and has
given bond for his appearance. Both
Colson and Scott had been mustered out,
so they will not be called to account by
the military authorities.

challenge General Otis to produce the
telegram.”

THREE NEGROES LYNCHED.
Leesburg Mob Hangs a Trio Accused
of Criminal Assault.
Leesburg, Ga.,Feb. 13. —Atmidnight
this place was invaded by a mob of 100
men, coming from Dougherty, Sumter,
Dooly, Worth and Lee counties. They
were after the parties who committed
the criminal assault on Mrs. Maroney,
an estimable lady of Lee county, some
'weeks ago, and who were in jail here,
having been arrested and placed there
by the sheriff at different times during
the last week.
There were five men in jail accused
of having a hand m rlie assault, but the
mob only wanted three—George Fort,
George Bivins aud Bill Holt. George
Bivins admitted committing the deed
himself, and said that he was assisted
by Bill Holt and George Fort.
Sheriff Milier got wind of the lynch
ing and began immediately summoning
a guard to help him defend the jail and
prisoners. His force was outnumbered
and resistance was useless. He tele
phoned to Governor Candler for help,
but not in time. He also made an ef
fort to get a company of soldiers sta
tioned at Albany. Ga., but failed.
The mob took Fort, Bivins and Holt
and hanged all three to one trfie aud
riddled their bodies with bullets.

AMERICANS CAPTURE
A SUBURB OF ILOILO
Jaro Taken by Regulars With
Little Difficulty.
INSURGENT LOSS SEVERE
First. Lieutenant and Three Privates
of the United States Infantry Forces
Receive Slight Injuries During the
Fighting.
Manila, Feb. 15. Colonel Potter
(Lieutenant Colonel O. L Foster of the
signal corps?) arrived from Iloilo yester
day evening with dispatches from Brig
adier General M. D. Miller to Major
General E. S. Otis, commanding the
United States forces in the Philippine
islands.
On Sunday afternoon General Millor
ordered a reconnoisance in force to as
certain the enemy’s position. Major
Cheatham’s battalion, the Tennessee
volunteer regiment, marched beyond
Molo without finding the enemy and
returned to lioilo.
Kellar’s battalion of the Eighteenth
United States infantry, with two Hotch
kiss guns and one Gatling gun, marched
towards Jaro. Midway between Iloilo
and Jaro this battalion encountered a
large body of the enemy occupying both
sides of the road, who met the advance
of the American troops with a severe
and well directed fire. The Americans
deployed and returned the fire.
The troops advanced steadily, sup
ported by the Hotchkiss and Gatling
guns, and drove the enemy through
Jaro to the open country beyond the
town The town of Jaro was found to
be deserted and all portable property
had been removed. When the Ameri
cans entered the place there were only
a few Chinese there. At 4:10 o’clock in
the afternoon, Captain Griffiths raised
the American flag over the presideucia.
Insurgent Loss Severe.
During the fighting outside of the
town Lieutenant Frank Bowles of the
Eighteenth infantry, while working the
light battery, was shot in the leg. In
addition one private was seriously
wounded and two were slightly injured.
The rebel loss was severe.
All was quiet ou Monday when Colo
nel Porter left Iloilo.
Two natives attempted to slip past the
United States cruiser Olympia during
the night in a boat. They failed to re
spond when hailed, but kept parleying
along. After a warning shot a sentry
fired at the boat and killed one of the
occupants and wounded the other.
A Spanish prisoner who escaped from
Malolos reports that Baldomero Agui
naldo, a cousin of General Aguinaldo
and Filipino minister of war, was killed
in the fighting at Caloocan on Feb. 10,
where the Kansas, Montana and Penn
sylvania troops and the Third artillery
were heavily engaged. Corroboration
of this report was given by the finding
of a general’b swerd beside the railway
sheds.
Admiral Dfwi'y Talks,
In an interview Admiral Dewey said:
“The people on shore know more
about the situation than I do. It seems
to be excellent, however. The natives
are coming in again and especially in
San Roque, whence they had been driven
out by the insurgents, who had burned
their huts.
“With ordinary people I should saj*
the backbone of the insurrection had
been broken, but with this race you can
never tell. A Filipino master mechanic
in the arsenal at Cavite, representing
the middle classes, who formed the
strongest part of the insurrection, and
who is himself prominent among them,
said: ‘I wonder whether Aguiuaid >
will continue to feed us.’
“This shows the attitude of the peo
ple.
“Our success at Iloilo, with only one
man scratched, will, I believe, have a
great effect on the natives The Petrel,
during the fight, went within easy rifle
shot of shore.
“I understand the troops at Iloilo will
move on the outlying towns of Molo
and Jaro. ”
Nuinb-r of Skirmishes.
Several rebels yesterday afternoon,
having fired from houses bearing white
flags, on the American outposts, Colonel
Smith, with Companies L, D and M of
the California volunteers, proceeded to
clean out the enemy along his front.
The rebels opposed him from the brush
and several skirmishes occurred, during
which nine of the Calitornians were
slightly wounded before the rebels were
driven out.
The work proceeded today in a sys
tematic manner, a gunboat shelling the
villages and working her rapid fire guns
very effectively. The entire California
regiment, with the exception of two
companies, four companies of the Wash
ington, two companies of the- Idahoreg
iment and a battery of the Sixth artil
lery were engaged. The rebei' were
driven toward Lake Laguna de Bayo.
The rebels held their fire, apparently
being short of ammunition, bot they
fought desperately.
The American outposts in this direc
tion run out fully 12 miles. All is quiet
along the rest of the line with the ex
ception that an occasional exchange of
shots between the sharpshooters breaks
the monotony.

dented severity. From the Gulf of
Mexico northward and from tue Atlantic
coast to the west boundary of Texas the
cold wave has settled heavily on the
country and produced the lowest tem

Anniston, Ala., reported the lowest
temperature—l 6 below at 7 o’clock this
morning. Atlanta comes next with
below recorded officially. This was the
lowest ever known here, the low mark
being broken 6’ a degrees. Street ther
mometers recorded 10 and 12 below and
this temperature, accompanied by a
wind which reached a velocity of 36
miles an hour made the discomfort al
most uuberable.

measures were taken for relief. The
Atlanta Journal und Atlanta Constitu
tion co-operated with the police and
furnished coal and provisions to hun
dreds of families. A large number of

the Grady hospital. One week ago the
temperature here was 72.
Street car traffic is demoralized, no
cars having been run on some lines
since Saturday night. Four inches oi
snow covers the grouud.
Advices from different parts of the
state show that the storm is general. In
the fruit growing sections great damage
is certain to resnlt.
buperintemiem Stevens of the West
ern union reports telegraph facilities
badly demoralized. There is noconnec
tion with New Orleans or Jacksonville,
Fla , and many wires in every direction
have snapped as a result of the cold.
The storm in the vicinity of Mobile
has wrecked all wires to New Orleans
and a large crew of linemen left Mobile
early in the day in an effort to restore
communication.
Among the temperatures reported to
the weather bureau are the following—
all below zero: Nashville, 12; Knox
ville, 10; Selma, 6; Birmingham, 5; Co
lumbus, 4; Mobile, 1; Montgomery, 4,
