REPORT THAT INGURGENT GENER¬
AL HAS JOINED SPANIARDS.
HE MAKES DENIAL OF REPORT.
Peace Commissioners Arc Missing ami
Supposed to Have Been Huns;
by Cubans.
A special from Havana, via Key
West, Fla., states that it is announced
semi-offieially that General Sangnilly,
the insurgent leader, has written to
Marshal Blanco tendering his services
unconditionally.
Some of the richest Spaniards of
Cuba have held further meetings iq
Havana, at Cieufuegos and at Sagua,
to consider the advisability of sending
a petition to President McKinley ask¬
ing for the establishment of a United
States protectorate over Cuba, if,
within six months, the government’s
plans for the pacification of the island
give no results.
At the Cuban junta headquarters, in
New York, and from other sources
here, it was learned that Sanguilly’s
loyalty to the Cuban cause had been
under suspicion for some time and that
his reported action in offering his ser¬
vices unconditionally to General
Blanco was by no means a surprise.
Delegate Tomas Estrada Palma,
however, speaking for publication,
said he could hardly believe Sanguilly
had capitulated, but that he did not
attach much importance to the report,
even if true.
A prominent Cuban at New York re¬
ceived the following dispatch from
General Julio Sanguilly, dated Phila¬
delphia, Monday night:
^KPlease JJjBay deny the false and absurd report
having offered my services to Gon
Blanc , or to tl^fcpanish government,

autonomous form of government pro¬
posed by Spain have not returned in a
single case, which seems to confirm
the reports that some of them have
been hanged by the insurgents and
others have elected to remain with the
enemy.
It is reported that Juan Delgado,
the insurgent leader, has hanged the
two commissioners who were sent to
him with peace propositions.
“DIDN’T GO FAR ENOUGH,”
Say* Comptroller Eckels A* To Currency
Recommendation* In Meagage.
Comptroller James H. Eckels was in
St. Louis Monday as the guest of the
Commercial Club, and delivered a
speech before that body, taking as his
subject “A Great Nation’s Weakness.”
After the meeting Comptroller Eck¬
els was asked if he agreed with the
recommendations as to the currency
made by President McKinley in his
recent message to congress. He said:
“I think they are very good as far
as they go. He does not go far enough,
in my opinion, when he says certain
things ought to be done if possible.
Things that ought to be done, especial¬
ly when they so vitally touch the
country’s business life. The presi¬
dent admits that the $346,000,000 of
greenbacks and $12,000,000 Sherman
legal tenders should be taken up and
would, I dare say, like to see it done;
but it is a conditional problem with
him. Those notes are simply a debt
and the only way to get rid of a debt
is to pay it. ”
LABOR FEDERATION MEETING.

Nashville.
The American Federation of Labor
began its seventeenth annual session

At the morning session President
Gompers delivered his annual address.
At the afternoon session Secretary

MAY RANK WITH HOLMES.
New Fork Barber Supposed To Have
Murdered Many Women.
The body of Jennie Suhmer, the
fourth wife of Charles Zanoli, was ex¬

L. I., Monday, where it had been
buried. An examination will be made
for the presence of poison in the or¬

ed, was murdered by Zanoli for the
purpose of realizing on a $5,000 life

Zanoli has collected insurance on
all his dead wives, whom he claims
died by natural causes, and if it is
proven that they were murdered, as
the authorities believe, the prisoner

SOUTHERN PROGRESS.
Many New Industries Reported as Estab¬
lished the Past Week.
Despite the near approach of the
holiday season, which is usually the
dullest time of the year in industrial
circles, trade shows but little decrease

orders that they may be ready to take
care of the heavy trade expected early
in 1898.
The ii o i and steel market is firm

favorable than for several years and
the coal mines are being worked at
full capacity to keep up with the in¬
creasing demand.

GENERAL ORDER ISSUED
In Regard to Confederate IC^uiion By
Gen. Gordon.
By order of General John B. Gor¬
don, commander of the Confederate
Veterans, Adjutant General Moorman
has issued a general order as follows:
“The general commanding an¬
nounces that under the resolution
passed at the Nashville reunion, and
under the custom established by the
association leaving the date of the
next annual meeting and reunion,
which is to be held in Atlanta, Ga.,
to the general commanding and the
department commander, the next re¬
union will be held at Atlanta, Ga.,
upon the following dates:
July 20, 21, 22 and 23, 1898, Wed¬
nesday, Friday and Saturday respec¬
tively. Our host especially urged the
dates of July 20th, 21st and 22d, be¬
ing anniversaries of the battles of
Peachtree Creek, Manasas and Atlan¬
ta, respectively.
“With pride the general command¬
ing also announces that 1,070 camps
have now joined the association and
applications received at the headquar¬
ters for papers for at least 150 more.
He urges veterans everywhere to send
to the headquarters for organization
papers for camps and join the associa¬
tion, so as to assist in carryingout and
participating in its benevolent, praise¬
worthy and patriotic objects.”
“The rapid growth of the associa¬
tion has caused such an accumulation
of business, which demands urgent at¬
tention at the coming session, that it
is absolutely necessary to give ample
time to dispose of all the matters to
be submitted to the delegates, there¬
fore four days limit will be given for
this important session instead of three,
as heretofore.
GERMANS FOR BIMETALISM.
President, of Reague Says the Measure
Will Yet Be Accomplished.
A special from Berlin states that
Herr Wilhelm Kardorff, president of
the Bimetallic League of Germany,
presided Monday at the meeting of
the league, at which it was resolved
to take steps to promote the objects of
th league in other countries, as,
th o ugh England’s attitude might delay,
it could not permanently prevent bi¬
metallism.
RECEIVER NOT WANTED.
Asheville Bank Will Liquidate With Cash
Borrowed By Stockholders.
The shareholders of the National
bank of Asheville, N.'C., which failed
in October, having borrowed money on
their individual guarantee sufficient to
pay all demand obligations, the comp¬
troller has permitted the bank to close
up its affairs by voluntary liquidation
instead of through a receiver.
The plan was outlined by Deputy
Comptroller Coffin, who visited Ashe¬
ville for the purpose after the failure,
and by disbursing about $60,000 cash
to depositors, was intended, it is said,
to relieve the hardships resulting from
the bank failures in that city.

Give a Description of the Brutal
X**a**in.
One of the most atrocious aud in¬
human murders on record in the south
was committed Wednesday night in
the edge of Simpson county, Miss.,
some twenty miles from the town of
Wesson.
Brown Smith, a farmer and son of
ex-Representative Ed Smith, of Simp¬
son county, left his family at his home
in the country to go to town for shop¬
ping purposes, thinking of no possible
danger for them.
Thursday morning when he returned
he found his wife and five children
weltering in their own blood and ap¬
parently all dead.
An alarm was raised immediately
aud the entire neighborhood turned
out to hunt for the perpetrator of this
foul and bloody crime. There being
no telegraph connections, details of
the murder came in slowly, but it is
fince reported that, one of the little
gir s, supposed to have been dead, has
revived enough to tell what she knew
of the occurrence. She said she knows
the man who committed the deed; that
it was a negro, and described him.
A posse started at once in pursuit of
the murderer and there is great, prob¬
ability that he will he apprehended.
It is learned that Mrs. Smith and
four of her children are dead and one
of the children is still living.
Sheriff McNair, of Lincoln, and
Sheriff Thompson, of Copiah counties,
also went to the scene of the murder,
each with a pack of traiued blood¬
hounds.
THREE OFFICERS KILLED.
An Outlaw, Fatally Wounded, Doc*
Deadly Work With Winchester.
News has just been received at Deli¬
ver, Col., of a desperate fight that oc¬
curred near the border of Arizona and
old Mexico. Three guards of the
Mexican service and one desperado
were killed. The latter was Frank C.
Phallard, one of Black Jack’s gang
and and an outlaw from Texas, whose
two brothers were killed while m c in
bers of Billy the Kid’s gang.
The two forces met face to face at a
turn in the railroad near Leander
Springs. There were eight outlaws
against three officers, but the latter
opened the attack with orders for
“hands up.” Two of the outlaws
turned their horses for the hills, but
Phallard dismounted, and drawing
his winchester, opened fire and killed
the three officers before he fell with a
fatal wound in his side.
Phallard is the last of the Sam Bass
gang of train robbers, who cleaned ouf
Custer City many years ago. His two
brothers were killed in Pan Handle.of
Texas by state rangers,

THREE WERE I'M PLICATED
In the Horrible Murder of Mr*. Brown
and Her Children.
A special from Wesson, Miss., says:
Late Thursday afternoon the negro who
murdered the family of Brown Smith
was captured by the posse, carried to
Mouticello, the county seat of Law¬
rence county, and at 7 o’clock was
carried back to*the scene of his crime,
where he was fully identified by the
little girl.
Another special to The New Orleans
Picayune from Wesson, Miss., says:
“Your correspondent has just inter¬
viewed one of the most prominent men
in this section, who left the scene of
the massacre of the Brown Smith fam¬
ily Friday morning. The accused ne¬
gro, Charley Lewis, is being tried be¬
fore Justice D. T. Holmes; he has
given testimony implicating two other
negroes—Will Powell and Andy Smith,
who are now in custody.
“My informant is positive that the
recent lynching at Monroe will be im¬
itated, making it public, and each ne¬
gro will be made to carry pine knots
to burn the other.
“The trial is being conducted in a
lawful manner. The committee has
charge of the prisoners and will not
permit them to be sent to any jail.
During the trial Lewis broke
down and confessed, saying: ‘It’s
mighty hard for me to suffer for what
somebody else has done.’
“Upon being allow to talk further,
he said: ‘Get Will Powell and Andrew
Smith.’
“Lewis is a mulatto about twenty -
three years old, aud married. It is
believed that a general clean-up will
be made in that section of the country,
and that a number of negroes will be
lynched. ’’

AND WON THE GREAT SIX-DAY
BICYCLE RACE AT NEW YORK.
GETS GOOD MONEY FOR HIS EFFORT
Over One Hundred Thousand People*
First and I-ast, Witnessed the
Struggle of Fndurance.
One of the greatest crowds that ever
filled Madison Square Garden, New
York, were collected within its walls
Saturday night. It had surged into
the vast ring to see C. W. Miller, of
Chicago, cross the tape winner of the
great six-day bicycle race with a rec¬
ord of 2,093 miles in 142 hours.
From start to finish the race was the
most interesting ever witnessed.
Thousands upon thousands ha4
poured into the place day after day
and night after night until it is safe
to say that from first to last 100,000
people saw the remarkable contest.
The race was a success from every
point of view, from the sportsmnu’s
standpoint and from the business
man’s standpoint. The gate receipts
will easily reach $60,000, leaving the
management a good profit.
The following is the final score for
the 142 hours:
Miller...... ......2,093.4
Rice....... ......2,026.5
Schinneer.. ......2,000.7
Hale....... ......1,920.2
Waller..... ......1.883.1
Pierce..... ......1,828.0
Golden..... ......1,778.0
Gannon.... ......1,760.0
Enterman.. ......1,753.7
Elkes...... ......1,660.7
lvinz....... ......1,616.8
Julius...... ......1.503.5
Beacotn.... .. .1,350.8
Johnson.... ...1,279.4
Grey....... .. .1,229.0
Rivierre.... ...1,746.7
Moore...... . 1.495.4
Best previous record 1,910 miles 8
laps, liy Hale.
Asa reward for their week of pain
and torture in covering hundreds of
miles awheel, Miller will get $1,500,
aside from presents from wheel and
tire concerns; $1,300 of this is the
winner’s share of the purse, and $200
more goes for breaking the record.
Joe Rice’s share of the purse will be
$800 and Schineer willget$500; Teddy
Hale will receive $350 and Waller $50
less. Pierce gets $200, Golden $150,
Gannon $125, Enterman and Rivierre
$100 aud Elkes $75.
All the riders who covered more
than 1,350 miles will receive a prize,
probably $50 apiece.
The managers of the contest now
admit what has been alleged since the
second day of the race—that the track
was short. Sunday, surveyors went
over the course, and although it was
officially announced that the riders
had not traveled a full mile for every
nine laps, just how short each “mile”
was has not been given out.
When Miller finished winner of the
race 2,093j miles had been checked up
to his credit. From what can be
learned, it is believed the track was
something like 200 feet short to the
mile, anil, therefore, the actual dis¬
tance traveled was about 2,014.
RAD FOR ANNEXATION.
Rx-Senator Dubois Declares Haw a linns
Are Against It.
Fortner Senator Dubois, who has
just reached home, after and extended
visit to Japan, China and Hawaii, says
the United States will not annex
these islands against the bitter oppo
sition of the natives.
He says there are no less than 1,200
male Americans on the island over
twenty-one years of age, and nearly
half of them are opposed to annexa¬
tion, while nearly all the balance of
the population are against it. Said
Mr. Dubois:
“Nothing but the support of the
United States government keeps the
present oligarchy, misnamed a repub¬
lic, in power. They could not
themselves a day if the United States
should withdraw its support. It will
require a large armed force constantly
to maintain any government the United
States may establish there. The na¬
tives will never consent to the de¬
struction of their national life.”

WHOLESALE LYNCHING REPORTED
As the Aftermath of the Brown Family
Assassination.
Later dispatches from Wesson, Miss.,
state that a party who left the scene of
the murder of the Smith family at 2
o’clock Saturday afternoon and had
just reached Wesson says a mob of
1,000 men formed and that a whole¬
sale lynching was taking place in that
neighborhood at the time he left.
Additional details of the murder of
Mrs. Brown Smith aud her four chil¬
dren and the subsequent lynching of
the sup rosed murderer were received
during the day.
After capturing Charley Lewis, the
alleged murderer, the mob placed him
alongside of several other negroes and
asked the little girl, who was spared •
by the murderer, to pick out the one
who killed her mother, She at once
pointed to Charley Lewis. This strong
evidence*to the mob made it difficult
for Sheriff Gassel, of Mouticello, to
induce the people to turn Lewis over
to him for safe keeping. He assured
them he would have the N*
Bankston Ferry Friday mor
trial.
As promised, he arrived
time with Lewis, and anot 1
two hundred men armed _
guns and winchesters met him on i.
opposite bank of the river. Speeches
were made by the cool-headed men,
among them being Hon. A. F. Weath
ersbv, senator from Lawrence county,
and Rev. Drummonds, a Methodist
preacher, who pleaded eloquently for
the negro’s life. The mob for a time
was quieted and an attempt was made
to hold an improvised court.
After }>arleying for some time, the
mob, under the leadership of a few
determined men, made a rush for the
negro and succeeded in getting him
from the deputies after a hard struggle.
They then put a plow line around the
negro’s neck and ran up the street
with him. He was put on a big horse
and driven under a tree. After that
the rope was made fast to a limb aud
the horse was driven from under him.
His feet touched the ground, but he
was strangling, and Mr. Arrington,
one of the lawyers, and another man
cut. him down. He coukl not speak.
The crowd allowed him to be revived
and then hung him in earnest.
A report that the negro committed
the murder at the instigation of Smith,
which has gained currency, is discred¬
ited by his neighbors, but the facts
and circumstances connected with the
affair will all be sifted to the bottom.
The three negroes arrested in the
Mouticello neighborhood in conjunc¬
tion with Charley Lewis, the negro
lynched for the quintuple butchery of
the Smith family, were, after a long
trial, declared not guilty, but given
until Monday to leave the country.
TO INVESTIGATE CIVIL SERVICE.
Republican Representatives In Congross
Hold a Special Meeting,
A Washington special says: A largely
attended meeting of republican repre
sentatives in congress was held Sat¬
urday night at the river and harbor
committee room to devise means for
securing a change in the present civil
service law.
About sixty members were present,
representing most of the states having
republican delegations in congress.
The discussion took a wide range,
but in the main was temperate and
conservative. It was finally deter¬
mined to name a committee to devise
a plan of action and the following reso¬
lution was adopted;
“Resolved, That the chairman np
point a committee of seven, the chair¬
man of which shall be Representative
Grosvenor, of Ohio, with the chairman
of this meeting as a member, who shall
examine the bills pending before the
committee on reform of the civil serv¬
ice and report to a subsequent meet¬
ing of this conference by bill or other¬
wise.”
PRESIDENT’S MOTHER DEAD!
Succumbs To Strok© of Paralysis After a
Remarkable Struggle.
A special from Canton, O., says:
Mrs. Nancy Allison McKinley died
Sunday morning at 2:30 o’clock.
Mother McKinley was stricken with
paralysis two weeks ago and her death
had been constantly looked for since.
The end came after a day of marked
sinking. It was quiet aud peaceful.
Life went out without a struggle.
The president and the members of
the family had been around the bed¬
side all night, knowing that the final
struggle was near.
TO INVESTIGATE SMALLPOX.
Governor Ellerbe, of South Carolina,
Names Committee of Doctors.
A dispatch from Columbia, S. C.,
says: Governor Ellerbe has appointed
a commission composed of Dr. Bab¬
cock, superintendent of the insane
asylum; Rev. Dr. Evans and Dr.
Strother Pope, to visit Rock Hill and
thoroughly investigate the smallpox
situation there in connection with
Winthrop college. The parents of the
hundreds of girls there have been
making it warm for the authoriiies.
Superintendent of Education May
