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.

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. Horrible agony is caused by Piles, Burns aud Skin Diseases.

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. Anti-Quay M-n T>:<! n *l ■ I? av Up.
