I Mr. Alfred Cranford Assassinated Near Palmetto. Palmetto, Ga , April 13—Our little village was again thrown into great excitement lm-t night when it was learned that Mr. Alfred Cranford had been assassinated and his wife assault ed by a negro. Mr Cranford’s plantation is about four miles from here, in Coweta coun ty. Last night about 7 o’clock be was sitting with his wife at the supper ta ble when a negro, armed with an axe, stepped into tbe room and dealt Mr. Cranford a terrible blow upon the head witli the weapon. His skull was crush ed and he died from the effects about 9 o’clock. The negro, after dealing Mr. Cran ford tbe fatal blow, seized Mrs. Cran ford, and dragging her into an adjoin ing room, assaulted her. Mrs. Cranford ran from the bouse and went to that of her father-in-law, about half a mile distant, and gave the alarm. She recognized the negro while be was in the act of killing her husband, but not in time to give Mr, Cranford warning. There is great excitement over the murder, and every endeavor will be made to catch the assassin. Mr. Cranford was about twenty-five years of ago and comes from one cf the best families in this section. The assassin is described as being of a ginger-cake color; has a black mous tache, and has the habit of shaking bis head while talking. Signs of Peace. Gen. Otis seems to think that the fighting in tbe Philippines is practi cally ended. It is not known, of course, how much of an army Aguinaldo has with him, but it is believed that it is very small. Many of the men who were with him before the capture of Malolos have left him and gone to their homes. They have had enough fighting, and would be glad to have peace declared It has been stated a number of times in our dispatches that Aguinaldo’s soldiers bad to be forced into battle by their offlceiS' There has been very little fighting since Aguinaldo’s retreat from Malo- Joe. The inference is that the insur gent army has gone to pieces and that Aguinaldo’s power is broken. The commissioners sent to tbe Phil ippines seem to have accepted this view. They have issued a proclama tion in which they set forth the inten tion of the United States in respect to the Filipinos. The proclamation is calculated to allay whatever fears tbe Filipinos may have bad respecting our purposes in their islands. It is diffi cult of course to make them believe that it is our intention to deal fairly and honestly with them. They have become so accustomed to the deceit of the Spaniards that confidence in our protestations of good will and friend ship will be of slow growth. Still, if we treat them honestly and fairly and show them that we intend to help them better their condition, they may accept our terms of peace and finally accept our rule. Much will depend upon the men to whom will be intrusted tbe duty of administering the law. If good laws are enacted, and faithfully and honest ly administered ths Filipinos may be come our friends and willingly yield obedience to our authority, but if we send a lot of politicians to Manila, and they follow the example of tbe Span iard-, we shall never have peace in the Philippines.—Savannah News. Bemarkable Rescue- Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, 111,, makes the statement that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs; she was treated for a month by her family physician, but grew worse.

She continued its use and after taking six bottle, found her self sound and well; now doe- her own housework, and is as well as she ever was.

SITUATION IS CRAVE Disposition of Germany’s Consul is Dangerous to Friendly Relations > Washing ton, April 13 iln «!<vel . opments concerning Samoa make I i somewhat unci lt.iin wlnHe rli j . til 1 international cornmi-.-iou ahl go to ■ Apia. Git >it Britain has d. c • e,l to accept certain fealur s in u tor < non with the commission'.- functions After a day devoted to the con-idi i i ation of tbe news of the kil ing of American and British officers and sea , men by the Mataafune, the administra tion has decided that tbe general situ ation has not been affected, but, it is admitted that the incident has aggra vated the friction between Germany on one hand and Great Britain and the United States on tbe other and the latter may play an important part in determining whether the treaty rela tions shall be continued. For tbe present, the chances of a hostile outcome are small, but in the meddlesome disposition of German Consul Rose is an element of danger to tbe continuance of friendly rela tions. Another such affair as that of April Ist, traceable directly to the in fluence of Rose, may be followed by a clash that may affect the peace of tbe world. This government still favors sending tbe commissioners to Apia without delay, and is supported by Germany, but England’s position makes this im possible. The German embassy has issued an official statement, saying that England raised now difficulties of such a complicated nature that they are not to be dealt with telegraphical ly- Orders have been issued by the war department discharging a number of generals volunteer officers. This action was made necessary by tbe official end ing of the war. Maj. General James H. Wilson, Lee, Wheeler, Bates, Young, Chaffee, Ludlow and Wood and Brigadier Generals Davis, Echwan, Hall, Wheaton, Charles King, Grant, Hughes, Ovensbein and Hale con tinue in the service as brigadier generals of volunteers under the new law.
