BKNI-OUNir. Algeria, June 8.—The
French artillery opemd & preliminary
fire at 5:30 o’clock this afternoon on
Fignig at the stronghold of the rebel
lious Zenega trlbemen who recently at
tacked and tried to ambush Governor-
General Jonnart and his escort, of
whom thirteen were seriously Injured.
The actual bombardment bgan at ?:S0
o'clock and lasted until 1 a. m., when a
great destruction of houses had been
wrought, the mosque destroyed and It
Is believed a great numb r ot natives
killed,
Gen. O’Connor commands the puni
tive expedition, consisting of 4,000 men
of the foreign legion, and u strong force
of artillery, armed with guns firing
melinite shells. Gen., O'Connor’s plan
was to advance on Figuig in three col
umns and post his artillery in com
manding hills surrounding the rebels'
stronghold. •
At 9:30 a. m. the French troops occu
pied Junive hilt, a strategic position, by
a surprise movements The forts of the
town were then more than 1.200 metres
distant, and, like the houses, which
were a half mile behind them, built of
compressed earth. From these hills
the artillery made excellent practice,
the melinite shells making a Mg breach
in the ramparts and destroying a
multitude of houses, the Inhabitants of
which had lied at the first shots. Fin
ally, the lire was concentrated on the
mosque, which was much venerated,
and the edifice was blown to pieces.
The destruction of the mosque is ex
pected to have a great moral* effect.
The Moors, concealed In palm groves,
replied with artillery to the French
bombardment, but without effect. At
11 o’clock the French guns were with
drawn to DJennen-Ed- Dar, where Gen.
O'Connor was awaltlrv, orders of sub
mission when the dispatch left.
All the women and children left to rn
before the action. The French fired a
few shells nt distant parts of the oasis
In order to Impress the Moors with the
power and range of the French gunB.
There was no loss on the French side.
The French artillery fired .six hun
dred shells at the town. The spahnls
(native cavalry), the Chasseurs Afrlque
and the troops of the legation were
posted during the bombardment at pits
surrounding the town, but the infantry
did not fire a single shot At 3:10 this
afternoon an envoy from the ameer
of Flgulg arrived at this place.
Gen. O'Connor has received congratu
lations from the commander of the
Ninth army corps on the skill with
which he conducted the operations. The
French troops have returned to their
encampment. The decision has not been
made regarding future operations. It
Is possible. If the Flgulg tribesmen do
riot come to terms, other villages In the
oaels will be bombart&d. The expedi
tion will rest tomorrow. Gen. O'Connor
has Issued a general order congratula
ting the troops on the manner in which
they acquitted themselves today.

FORT VALLEY, Ga., June Onn.pf
th- most tragi- and deeply UmenH*<V
deaths which has occurred in this
community for years was that of Mr.
W. Copa Winslow, who was shot and
almost instantly killed this afternoon
about lo’clock by a negro man named
Banjo Peavy.
The shooting occurred not far from
the farrri owned by the mother of the
deceased, about two and a half miles
from this place. No one was present
at the time of the shooting save one or
two other negro men, and one of these
brought the report to town.
From the best Information obtaina
ble. the negro owed Mr. Winslow a
small amount of money, and he was
endeavoring to get him to work It out
on his farm. The negro b< came very
impudent, and the shooting resulted
from this dispute. The negro who
brought the report to town mid that
Mr. Winslow ulso had a pistol and shot
at Peavy twice a* he waa running away.
The negro shot at Mr. Winslow only
once, the ball striking him In the fore
head, Just between the eyes, and be
fore the neighbors could move him Into
the house he was dead.
The negro succeeded In making hla
escape temporarily, going toward Ev
erett station. As soon as the report
of the shooting and the escape of the
negro was circulated, considerable ex
citement prevailed, and a Targe number 1
of men armed themselves and went in
search of the assassin. Mott of the
party were on horseback, and they at
once organized themselves Into parties
of two, and began a systematic and
rapid search of the territory In the di
rection the negro had gone.
After they a ha4*been out about thre
hours he .was located In a patch of
dense wqodp, and soon raptured,
was brought.-to town nnd turned over
to Sheriff Cooper, who had come up
through the country from Perry as i
as he was notified of the killing.
So great was the Indignation of the
people, however, that about 8:30 o'clock
a large crowd of armed citizens gath
ered around the officers deputized spe
dally to guard the prisoner, overpow
ered them nnd took him In cbnrge.
They marched out toward the Mar-
•hallvllle rood, swung him up to strte
in Branham’s grove, and practically
riddled his body with bullets. Probably
300 shots were flred. ana, It being-In the
corporals limits-of the town, created
great consternation nnd excitement
among the men, as well as uneasiness
and fear among the women.
The lynching Mas deeply deplored by
the less excited and older heads. This
was one of the most dastardly crimes
ever committed In this community. The
n> gro was a desperate character and
h id gotten Into several difficulties dur
ing the past few years.
Mr. Winslow was a young man about
27 years old, nnd waa the main depend-

SPARTANBURG, 8. C., June 8.-The
Interruption of all means of traffic and
communication caused by the high
water in the Pacolet valley made .It
impossible until tonight to secure any
thing like an accurate death roll ot the
flood's victims. The following purports
to be a complete list of the drowned:
Joseph Hall, his mother, wife and a|x
children.
Bud Emory.
Oliver Johnson.

John Swearengen and wife.
Miss Fletla Gosa.
Mrs. William Kirby.
The bodies of the above have been
recovered nnd Identlfled. Three un
identified bodies have also been taken
from the river, making the aggregate
of the death roll fifty-eight.
The relief subscriptions to date
amount to nearly $7,000, Including 31.000
given by the American Cotton Spln-
’ Association. The relief commit
tees have also secured a great quantity
of clothing and rations.
The Mary Louise mill on Island
creek, operating 2,000 spindles and

totally destroyed. Portions of the Ty*
ger mill on Middle Tyger river are also

COLUMBIA 8. C„ June 8.—The Inter
est today In the flood situation has cen
tered In the work of relief. Around
Clifton and Pacolet the destruction Is
great, thousands of people are out of
w'ork and many of them are homeless.
The surrounding farms are also devas
tated and th'-re is subsistence available
for such a large number.
Yesterday and today nearly ten
thousand dollars has been raised in
Columbia, Spartanburg and other South
Carolina towns as n relief fund, but ths
difficulty Is to get supplies to the scene
of need quickly, ns railroad communi
cation 1- entirely cut off. Organization
will be perfected tomorrow, however,
and the work carried on systematically.
Last night many slept In the open air
at Clifton. Today the heat was trying.
Other .South Carolina cotton mills are
offering places to the operatives thrown
out of work. Several mills will run dou
ble time in order to afford them work,
and others will run shorter shifts, thus
employing a larger number. This Is
done despite the unfavorable condition
of the cotton goods market.
Owners of the destroyed mills can
not yet announce definite plans. It Is
the belief that the properties will be re
built as soon us possible, but this is
not authoritative. All the damaged
mills will g<t to work as soon os re
pairs can be made.
Reports today add $*0,000 or more to
the losses. This Is the damage clone to
small mills not heretofore heard from.
Thirty thousand dollars has been lost

This condition has forced all traffic
"between Atlanta and Charlotte to be
sent by Augusta through Columbia to
Charlotte, owing to the breaks between
Greenville nnd Charlotte on the South

overcrowded, carrying the business of
two other branches besides its own.

Is money to assist the homeless poor to

Immediately left for the home of 1.

The state chemist this morning for
warded the result of his luveHtlgntionn
to Dr. J. D. Mauldin of Flowery Branch
who linmedately communicated the
