Liberty City, Ga., Aug. 15.—Robert C. Curtis was shot anil killed here to-day by a negro named Turner Johnson, alias Dot son. and by Frank Hines, Ed Shuman, Henry Harris and William Burney, from ambush. J. T. Gill was also shot in the hand. On yesterday Johnson used some very profane and obscene language in the pres ence of a lady, a member of the family of C. J. McDonald, a leading merchant nnd citizen here, and a warrant was sworn out for his arrest and placed in the hands of J. T. Gill for execution. Gill and Curtis went to Johnson's house near here and arrested him, and were re turning along the public road when John son demanded that the warrant be read. Gill started to comply and Johnson quickly drew a pistol, fired twice at Gill, and turning, fired two shots at Curtis. At the same time the negroes concealed in the bushes beside the road fired at Giil end Curtis, but only struck Curtis, ha ting him In a number of places, and one shot from a Winchester struck him in the spinal column. Curtis fell to te ground, but was up in a moment, and returned the fire as did Gill, and the latter is positive that he struck Johnson at least twice. Only One of Them Caught. The negroes then came out of the bush es in whic'h they had been concealed and opened a fusilade on Gill, who retreated to the station after placing Curtis under a tree by the roadside. Arriving here, he sent Dr. Roach to Curtis, but the doctor found him dead. Gill summoned a crowd of citizens, hut on arriving at the scene of the outrage the negroes had disappeared. Later on Hines was captured and is now in charge of the sheriff. A large number of citizens from differ ent sections of the country are here and many are scouring the country for the murderers. Considerable excitement the feeling against the ne groes Is so intense that Sheriff Brewer may not be able to protect the murderers in case they' are captured. The country will be scoured to-morrow more closely and if Is pretty safe to say that the negroes will be cap tured. Curtis was from Raleigh, N. C., and clerked for L. F. Conner at this place. He was an excellent young man of good character and habits. His brother was sent for and arrived here late to-night. Sheriff Brewer has also under arrest a negro named Allen Coley. Serious trouble is feared, though the best citizens are doing all they can to have the law take its course. BiG NEWS MUST COME SOON. Continued from First Paffe. Goodnow at Shanghai. The State Depart ment declined to make known the con tents of the Goodnow dispatch. This opened a wide field for conjecture, the most generally accepted view being that Mr. Goodnow hod advised against the plan of delivering the -legationers outside the city of Pekin. Getting; nt Cipher MosNnges. The cipher experts were busy with a dispatch from Consul Fowler at Che Foo, which wns so unintelligible that it had to b* returned 10 the telegraph company to be repeated. So far as it could be deciphered, it appears to repeat a message sent by Minister Conger to Fowler, tell ing the latter that the situation was be coming more critical at Pekin and that the Chinese authorities were seeking to compel the legationers to leave the city under Chinese escort. It is possible that the message, which is quite long, will con vey additional information when its com plications are unraveled. With the army at Matow, it is felt that any one of several conditions might be presented ir. the near future. The Chi nese officials concurred in the belief ex pressed by the Chinese minister at Lon don that there would be a speedy and sudden change, and peace within the next few weeks. On the other hand, Ba ron Speck von Sternberg regards Tung Chow, midway between Matow and Pekin, as the real battleground and Secretary Hoot Is inclined to accept this view. Some of the Japanese officials believed that when the allies reach Tung Chow they would find Pekin a deserted c*ity ahead of them, os it was recoiled that these tactics of withdrawal had occurred in 1860 when the British-French expedi tion reached Tung Chow. In the ab sence of all positive information as to what the allied armies will do, these con jectures from the best posted sources serve to show the various serious possi bilities forming u part of the present crisis. *Ot Like Conger's Message. The message of the French minister at Pekin, M. Pichon, to the French foreign office, was a; first regard and here as iden tical with the last Conger message which the state d* partment has not made pub ic. But without disclosing the nature of the Conger message, the officials made a sufficient comparison between the Pichon and Conger messages to show that they W( re n. t identical in language or general B'Gtermnt. On the contrary it was clear , that each minis or was foi ward'ng to his ! Ro\ernir.cnt his cwn advices on he sit uation. and that there had been no con sultation between the ministers before these two dispatches were f rwarded. While the messages are not alike, it is understood that they agree on considera ble of the information obtained. The arrival of President McKinley In 'own is look'd forward to with great interest in \l w of tie gravity of the. crll. The presidential pirty will be here **rly to-monow morning, and an ex ende 1 conference between the PreJident, Secre tary Root, Acting Secretary Adee and others is likely to occur early in the day. This probably w.ll assume the aspect of a cabinet conference if indeed it is not felt desirable to hold a special cabinet meeting:. The regular meeting day of the cabinet is on Fr day, at which time there will be further opportunity of going over the Chinese developm nt^. CHAFFEE REACHES MATOW.

Washington, Aug. 15—The Bureau of Navigation has made public the follow ing and snatch: Taku, Aug. 12.—Just received undated from Chaffee: Matow yesterday; opposi tion of no consequence, yet terrible heat; many men prostrated.

The road between Ho Si Wu and Matow is indicated on the war department map as He worst section of the road between Tien Tsin and Pe kin. MAY NOT WINTER IN CHINA. No Preparations Made to Supply Troops to That End. Washington. Aug. 15.—1 tis considered significant that no preparations are be ing push and for the wintering of the American forces in China. Both the com missary and quar;e master’s departments are ready to purchase and ship supplies for the Chinese expeditionary force such as would be needful in a winter cam pa;gn. There are certain supplies which would have to he taken, and that quite speedily, unles there is a strong hope that the American army will be out of China before the Gulf of Pechili freezes over, which usually happens about the first of November. Prepara:ions made up to a recent date looktd to the quartering of the American force on Chinese soil through the winter season. It cannot te ru and that this expec tation has been entirely abandoned, but it is certain that some of the final pur chases and preparations are suspended for the present, as though there were con siderable probability that they would not have to be made at all. GREAT BRITAIN HESITATING. Seems In Doubt About Landing Forces at Shanghai. London, Aug. 16.—The Times has the fol lowing dispatch from Shanghai, dated Thursday: •The viceroy has withdrawn his oppo sition to the landing of British troops on condition that this does not entail the presence of other forces, but instructions have been received from the British gov ernment that disembarkation is to await further orders. The fact is generally known that Great Britain is hesitating. The public, official and unofficial, is unan imously ol the opinion that withdrawal at this stage would be deplorable and would produce the worst results.” MESSAGE SENT MacDONALD. It Informed Hint of the Progress of the Relief Force. IXHidon. Aug. 15.—The British foreign office, replying to the latest cipher dis patch from the British minister at Pekin, Sir Claude MacDonald, the wording of which was almost identical with the mes sage from Sir Claude received by the Can ton correspondent of the Daily Tele graph and published Aug. 14. and which was transmitted to the foreign office by the Chinese minister here, bids the Brit ish minister to be of good cheer and gives the progress made by the relief column. CHINESE MOUNTING BIG GINS. Troops Seen Going Up West Hirer ProliHbly for Pekin.

BRYAN TALKS TO IRISHMEN. — > ANNI \L MEETING OF THE UNITED IRISH SOCIETIES. look County Gathering at Sunny slde Park—An Address Adopted Denouncing Imperialism—Mr. Bry an Discussed the Evils of the Gov ernments of the Old World—The l nhert States Can See the Faults in Others and \*ohl Them. Chicago. Aug. 15.—Mr. Bryan, Mr. Stev enson and others made speeches to-day at Sunny side Park on the occasion of tho annual meeting of the United Irish Socie ties of Cook county. The meeting W 33 presided over by Rev. F. L Reynolds and the attendance was large, notwithstanding the stormy weather. Mr. Bryan's speech was the first of the series, but before he was heard, the as sembly, a t the suggestion of Judge 11. V. Cannon, adopted an address from which the following is an extract: “We are unalterably opposed to any al liance, tacit or open, with any European monarchy and shall resist in every prac tical and legal way the imposition of im perialism and militarism upon a people consecrated to freedom, and in this spirit, and with an abiding trust in the good sense and patriotism of the vast body of American people, we commit, as for as we may, the fortunes of the republic of America to the strength and determination of citizens born on American soil, aided by those sons from other lands, who sought here a refuge from open tyranny, judicial misconstruction and military ex action.” Mr. !tr>nii'a Speech. Mr. Bryan spoke as follows: "I do not want you to think that my happiness depends upon any public office within the g ft of the peDpk* of this coun try. I lave a higher ambition than to be President (great applause). The man whese bap imss dfpen s up n what oth er.* do for him may be doomed to idsap poi: tment, )ui if < ne’s happiness dep nds upon what he does for o hers, he will not be disappointed. (Renewed applause.) I hope you will credit me with the ambi tion that is within the nach of every cit izen of this land, an ambition which al! ('an t-ntertain and which, to my mind, is a higher ambi ion than ihat for any office and that is an ambition to do what 1 can to make this na ion so great and so good that to be a simple will (be greater than to be a king in any o her land. (Great applause.) “The object of my speech is a practical one. I want to use this occasion to point to a great lesson. I believe the fact that this nation has here the representatives of all of the races of Europe gives it a peculiar advantage among the nations. The fact that the best blood of all the civilized races mingles here in the development of ihe American character enables this nation to turn upon every question the light of universal history and avoid the dangers from which other nations have suffered (applause). When a problem arises in this country, we can look back and find wnat has been the experience of others. A Word for the Irishman. ‘‘lf we knew the history of our own people only we would not be so well prepared to detect danger before we suf fer from it, but if any one does not know the growth of landlordism and its dan gers he has only to ask an Irishman what landlordism means and he need not read history to find out. (Grear Applause.) If any one wants to know whether an alien government is good, all he has 'o do is to ask an Irishman what his opinion is of an alien govern ment, although the govfrning p>wer be separated from the governed only by a narrow channel. (Arplause.) If you wan’ to know' what militarism ?s and what its burdens are, all you have to do is to ask a German who came to this country to avoid the militarism of the old world (Applause.) And so, I might go through the various ecp rienors of other notions. The fact that we have here the represen ta:ivcs of th<se people 'nablfs us to s er.t the danger afar and to guard against their experiences here. And T m 8-* my guess if the American people, thus made up, will not develop a civilization higher, greater and m:re enduring than any clv ilizaton which has pie ed and ours. (Great applause.) Tl* GrenteM Citizen. ‘‘When any one tells me that we want to imitate an Anglo-Saxon civilization l tell him that an American civilization is higher than anw other—no matter what it is (great applause). Ido not mean to say one word against any Anglo-Saxon. I have not a word to say against the Celt, the Latin, the Gre*k or tha Teuton. But I do believe that the American in whom are combined the virtuosefthem all is the greats citizens the world has ever known e(great applause), and that the civilization to be developed here will lift humanity to a higher plane than it has occupied in the days gone by.” (Renewed applause.) !♦* REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN FUND. Important Conference Held at Re publican llcadqnn rtern. York. Aug. 15.—An important con ference on the financial condition of the notional campaign fund was held at Re publican headquarters to-day. Members of this conference were Senator Hanna. Postmaster General Charles Emery Smith, Senator O. H. Platt of Connecticut. Treas urer Cornelius N. Bliss and Senator Scott and J. H. Manley, the two latter being called in occasionally for short consulta tions. Senator Hanna absolutely refused to discuss what occurred at the confer ence. Among those who called on Senator Hanna in the afternoon were a couple of gentlemen, one of them a clergyman from Boston, who came In behalf of Mis* Lillian C. Jewett, the “Joan of Arc” who wanted to have the National Committee Indorse the Anti-Lynching League and help out in running a newspaper. The interview was brief. POP! LISTS OF MISSISSIPPI.

NATIONAL CAPITAL GOSSIP. The President'* Movement*—Chaffer l’lonp War Department. Washington, Aug. 15.—C01. nnd Mrs. Myron Herrick will accompany the pres ident and Mrs. McKinley upon their re turn to the city on Friday and will re main here for some days, probably until the president returns to Canton. It is the present plan of the president and Mrs. McKinley to go hock to their Ohio home in about a week or ten days, unless there should arise some great emergency to make the president's presence here necessary. During their absence from the White House there has been a. thorough renovation of the residence part of the building, which the president has to use both as office and home. The private din ing room has been done over in red and presents a vastly improved appearance. < huflFee** Clear Despatched. The officials of the war department are thanking their lucky stars that the com mander in charge of the American forces in China is not a certain portly gentle man now resident at San Francisco. Not that these officials hesitate to give Gen. Shafter full credit for the success of the military operations about Santiago, but because the dispatches they are receiv ing from Gen. Chaffee recall the trying times when they were - seeking io get information out of the dispatches sent by “Shafter, Major General, Command ing," and could get nothing. Gen. Chaf fee’s dispa* ches have, on t'he contrary, been most satisfactory. He seems to realize the desire on the part of the de partment for everything possible in the way of information, and he has given it. A number of his dispatches have nor been given to the public In their en tirety, for they relate to military conditions; bu.t war department offi cials who have seen those are unstinted in their praise of Chaffee tor the com mon sense he has displayed In his mess ages and the completeness of these docu ments. A Doubtful Rumor. Democratic leaders here are inclined to be skeptical over the report sent from Cleveland that former Mayor McKlsson has decided to support Bryan. While they realize McKlsson s antipathy for Sena tor Hanna, they doubt very much that he will allow that antipathy to take him into Democratic ranks. They are inclined to believe that if the r port is true, lie will prove a valuable addition to the anti- McKinley forces, and will give additional f ouhle to the Republicans in the Pres ident's own state. But they have not be gun thouilng yet, for they very much doubt the truth of the rport. FUNERAL WILL BE PRIVATE. Burial of Coilis P. Hnntlngton to Take Place Friday. New York, Aug. 15.—The body of Collls P. Huntington, who died on Monday at his lodge in the Adirondack*, was brought to this city to-day on a special train over the Now York Central road, reaching the Grand Centra! station at 4:35 o’clock. The body now rests in Us casket in the library of the Huntington town house at No. 2 East Fifty-eeventh street, where it was taken directly from the station. The funeral services, It has been an nounced. will be strictly private, and will be held at 11 o’clock Friday morning. Other details concerning the funeral have not yet been decided upon and will be made public later. When the train drew into the station and the party left their special car, Mrs. Huntington, wearing deep mourning and heavily veiled, was escorted to the family carriage at the entrance. She was driven at once to the family residence. In speaking of thedtath of Mr. Hunting ton, Private Secretory Miles, who was present at the time, said to-rlay: “His death was very sudden. It was due to heart disease, or to be more is h nical, Dr. Coley slates that death was due to cerebral apoplexy. Mr. Hunting ton was attacked with a severe coughing just after retiring. His wife and he oc cupied the same apartment, and when the coughing attack dime on Mrs. Hunting ion gave him a glass of stimulants, a* she had always done before. This seemed to relieve him for a moment. Then lie said to Mrs. Huntington. ‘I am very, very ill.’ Those were his last words, and he sink into unconsciousness a moment later.’’ Princess Hatzfeld, the late Mr. Hunt ington's adopted daughter, who is now In London, and who was to have sailed for home yesterday on the. steamer Majestic, ! did not sail. She was notified by coble of the dath of Mr. Huntington, and being nonh'e 10 be present at the funeral, will delay her coming for u short time. While no decision has been reached a:, to the choice of officiating clergymen. Mr. Miles stated this evening that he would probably be of Presbyterian falih, or pos sibly a Congregatlonullst. Mr. Miles said 200 telegrams of condolence, coming from all part* of the United States and Europe, and Asia nod India, hod been received. The pall bearers will be D. O.

Funston's command at Luzon. It was translated from the Spanish under the direction of Capt. John R. M. Taylor, of the Fourteenth Infantry, who is in charge of insurgent records. There was a letter from Montague R. Lcverson, dated at Fort Hamilton, New York, July 17, 1899, and adddrettsed to Senor G. Apacible. It says in part: "Dear Sir and Brother: Our friend Al bert S. Parson of Lexington gave me your name as, one to whom I should write as a representative Filipino. I am a mem ber of the Anti-Imperial let League of Boston, of whioh George S. Boutwell Is president and Irving Winslow is secre tary. I have published many articles and letters denouncing the piratical war carried on by President McKinley against our people. He and Gen. OUs and all his troops are pirates upon the territory of the natives. Our presidents are not in the position of kings. Our presidents are not In the least authorized to make war with out the consent of Congress, as McKinley Is doing, and all persons compromised In Ihe war are pirates. Told to Seise nn Official. "I should like to suggest a plan to you. It is this, you should sleze some official of rank In the service of the United States and then Inform the foreign con suls that he was to be brought before a council of wnr for piracy and writs to said consuls to have representatives pres ent at such council of war to see that It Is legal. "Piracy would be shown by conducting a war In violation of the usages of civi lized war and the proof would consist in the fact of the consent to killing defense, loss prisoners and con-combatants, men and women and children, in cold blood, and In robbery by officers and soldiers from non-combatants. "I also suggest that the Filipino Con gress address an appeal to the people of the United States. "I shall not give you the heads of this appeal. I merely point out some thing* which will especially Influence the people For example, a reference to the Delara tlon of Independence must be inserted, hut I believe that it is also necessary for you to mention in your appeal the points I have made above to show that this war is piracy, using them to bring out the want of Christian feeling of the soldiers. "You must also show that McKinley keeps the people of the United States In ignorance of the true facta, that he and the members of the cabinet have d*lbr ately lied to secure the ratification of the truth of peace with Spain without the Clause which would have assured the lib erty of the Filipinos. That they deliber ately lied when they said that Agoncillo advised Agulnaldo to tight and that a tel egram stating the opposite was intercept ed: the war was advised from Washington to secure the passage of the treaty.” Re fere nee to Admiral Dewey. Another letter dated Singapore, June Id 1899, from W. O. St. Clair, editor of the Singapore Free Press to Howard W. Bray discusses conversations which the writer claims to have had with Consul Pratt, who was succeeded about that time by Consul Moseley, at Singapore. There also was some suggestion that Prntt fovored the Filipino cause and the discussion rel ative to conversations that Consul Pratt Is said to have had with the Filipinos. St. Clair throws doubt upon Pratt's talk with Filipinos, but says Dewey's In terview with Agulnaldo Is the important matter. St. Clair says: "Dewey's turn for power In colonial af fairs is coming, 1 believe—l must not tell you what he said to me—but I believe he hopes for a complete reconciliation and on adjustment that will really satisfy the Filipino#.” Another letter Is from Apolinario Ma bini, and adddressed to Aguinaldo. It Is without date, and relates most wholly to suggestions regarding an attack upon Ma nila. Agonellli,'* Schemes. A letter dated Paris. June 23 1891 from Felipe Agoncl lo to G. Apiolble and I. Pantos at ffeng K:ng say* ihnt al! Euro p ans fed a superiority t) the yellow rac.-s and for that ream there esn he no autonomy between the Untied States and the F ILinos. He also says that the politi cal tactics of Filipinos were to prolong the war, avoid armed Intervention; and th rd, to "foment the actions of the Dem ocratic party in th > United Stat s which advocates our Independence.” An extract from n newspaper dispatch dated Masdelena, l.acur.u, Doc. 25, 1899, says; "A circular !s being passed from hand to hand containing a summary of state menta cf what the papers and tome lead ing men In the United Stntes said dur ing the month of September in favor of our cuus n .” A la Ur dated Manila, 1898, without the month be ng gv.n, sign'd by T.
