Cailles and His Band of Warriors
Surrender to Americans.
A SPECTACULAR CAPITULATION
To Music of Native Bands Insurgent
Leader Marches Into Santa Cruz,
Gives Up Arms and Re
ceives Congratulations.
Advices from Santa Cruz, Province
of Laguna, P. L, state tuat when Gen
eral Cailles surrendered there Monday
with 650 men and 500 rifles, he entered
Santa Cruz to the music of native
bands, which were drawn up in six
lines in the churchyard. Cailles and
his staff entered the church, where
mass was celebrated by Chaplain Hart,
of the Eighth United States infantry.
The column passed in review before
the United States army headquarters,
with arms at port, returned to the con
vention enclosure, thpre surrendered
'heir rifles and received receipts en
titling them to thirty pesos each
During the surrender of the arms
Cailles and his taff. who were outside
the inclosure, wept.
The officers afterward walked to
headquarters, where Cailles tendered
his sword to General Sumner, who gal
lantly handed it back. General Sum
ner also handed back the revolutionist
flag, which Cailles will, personally, pre
sent to General MaeArtbur.
General Sumner congratulated
Cailles on his surrender and the latter
responded mat it was a happy day for
Lagqna province.
Frank Mekln. the deserter of the
Thirty-seventh infantry, who had been
acting as a lieutenant, with the insur
gents under Cailles. was placed in
irons.

MANY THOUSANDS HOMELESS.
Details of Flood In Pocahontas Coal
Region Shows Terrible State
of Affairs.
Advices of Monday from Bluefield,
W. Va., state that details of the flood
in the Pocahontas Flat Top coal re
gion fully bear out the worst fears of
the extent of damage done. The work
of repairing railroad tracks, telephone
and telegraph lines is being pushed
with the vigor that the occasion de
mands.
Thousands of people are homeless
and it is feared are without food, or at
the best with only food enough to last
several days until railroad communica
tion is established. Men are at work
clearing away debris, recovering the
bodies of the dead. The dead are be
ing augmented hourly. Relief trains
are running between Bluefield and the
stricken district and everything possi
ble is being done to relieve the suffer
ing and destitution.
The latest estimate is that it will
take ten days to repair the Norfolk
and Western track. Information-from
the Tug river district is to tne effect
that the damage to the coal operations
in that region is not great, but that
the lumber interests have suffered con
siderably.
Over 100 miles of track belonging to
the various operations are practically
a total loss. The rails are bent, and
twisted like wires. Even the heavy
iron girders of the collapsed railroad
bridges were rendered useless. The
force of the flood is better understood
when it is explained that by reason of
a long fill and a low iron bridge the
flood was dammed and a monster body
of water accumulated, probably a«
large a volume as was contained in
the famous dam at Johnstown When
this obstruction gave way it let down
an immense volume of water on the
village and mining camps below.

DEATH AND
Follow In Wake of Two Terrific
Explosions Among Fireworks.
SIXTEEN LIVES REPORTED LOST
Many Harrowing Scenes Witnessed
While Building Burned—Force
of Concussion Was Felt
For Many Blocks.
Sixteen people are believed to have
been killed and a number injured Fri
day in a fire following a series of ex
plosions among a quantity of fireworks
in the store of Abraham M. Rttteuberg,
at Paterson, N. J. The store was on
the ground floor of a four story frame
tenement building. The cause of the
explosion is not known. The property
loss will not exceed $35,000.
The explosion occurred shortly af
ter noon aud many of the occupants
of the building w r ere out at dinner. The
building in which the explosion oc
curred was a frame tenement, fopp
stories high, with stores on the ground
floor. The middle store was occupied
by Rittenberg. Ten families occupied
the flats in the building.
So great was the force of the explo
sion that a boy playing in the street
half a block away was lifted from his
feet and hurled against an iron fence.
One of his legs was broken. A trolley
car was directly in front of the build
ing when the explosion occurred. The
burst of flame blown out into the street
scorched the sides of the car and sing
ed the hair of the passengers.
A number of those who were on the
upper floors of the building when the
explosion took place were either stun
ned and then burned to death or found
escape cut off and were suffocated. Af
ter the first explosion there was a se
ries of smaller ones and then came a
second big explosion, which was muf
fled and deadened and probably occur
red in the cellar.
Every window seemed to be emitting
flame within a minute after the first
explosion. A woman, with her cloth
ing on fire, leaped out of one of the
windows a ml fell to the yard below.
Her dead Body was dragged out of
reach of the flames, but tne flesh was
roasted and dropping from the bones.
She later proved to be Mrs. Williams,
Mrs. Williams's husband was a crip
ple. His wife is supposed to have re
mained longer than she could with
safety in an effort to save him. He
was found burned to a crisp in his bed.
Some of the occupants of the rooms
dropped from the windows and were
bruised; others hung from the win
dows until the firemen came and twen
ty persons were taken down in this
way through the fire and smoke by
the firemen, while others dropped into
life nets.
I)an Dooly, who was in the yard
when the explosion took place, saw the
two Rittenberg children in the rear
room and rushed into the flames for
them. He got one of them ami carried
It out and tried to go hack for the oth
er, but the room was then one mass
of fire and he was too late. He was
baly scorched in rescuing the first
child.
While the rescues were going on the
firemen were fighting the Haines. Cap
tain Allen led with a hose line in nn
effort to keep the fire from the upper
floors, where it was said many
penned in. The men had hardly taken
their positions and begun on the side
walk to throw water into the upper
floor when without any warning, the
whose upper part of the building above
them sagged outward and fell. The
captain and two of his men were Ini
ried under the blazing debris. One of
tne men is badly hurt. The building
in which the explosion occurred was
entirely destroyed.

Negroes Prayed While Meeting
Death at Hands of Mob.
ACCUSED OF FOSTER'S MURDER
Mob at Benton, La„ Finally Sati
ates Pent Up Anger By Hang
ing “Prophet'' Smith
and McLand.
A special from Shreveport, I,a., says:
Frank, better known as “Prophet”
Smith and F. D. McT.aml, held at Den
ton for complicity In the murder of
John Gray Foster, were taken out by
a mob Wednesday night and strung
up to a tree. They were left dangling
side by side.
The lynching occurred on the Arkan
sas road about one mile and a half
from the jail. Both negroes made
statements before death, denying that
they had anything to do with the kill
ing.
Smith, who was the head at the
“Church of God” movement In that
section, and was blamed as being re
sponsible for the sentiment against
the whites which led to the death of
Foster, died praying. McLand was
silent as he was swung up.
As Smith was being led from the
jail prior to the execution he was
heard to say:
"Lord, you promised to be with me
now.’
There were about 200 men in the
mob and they overpowered the sher
iff and jailor, taking the keys away
from them. The lynchers claimed that
the execution of these negroes was
necessary to the preservation of the
lives of white men in tills locality.
MET BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
Coroner’s Jury Investigating Brutal
Murder pf Little Berta Jackson
Holds Fourth Session.
The fourth session of the coroner s
jury, Investigating the murder of Berta
i Jackson, was held behind closed doors
at Decatur, Ga. Wednesday afternoon.
1 the newspaper representatives being
excluded as well as spectators.
When the Jury filed from the room,
after four hours of work, the an
nouncement was made that nothing
had been done which could be given
out. The only matter that. Attorney
Hooper Alexander made public was
that the jury would meet again June
28th.
Judging from the witnesses who tea
tided before the jury, the same old
ground was gone over for the fourth
time. The witnesses were R. S. Flow
ers, Berta Jackson’s adopted father;
Mrs. Flowers, Mrs. Kirkpatrick, Flow
ers' sister; the negro boyB, Oathro Jk»
gijgh and Matt Willingham, and Learta
Glllam, a negro who works cm a farm
adjoining Flowers' dairy.
All of these witnesses had been lie
tore the coroner’s jury, and they made
substantially the same statements
that were made at prior sessions of
the jury.
The Jury seems to be out gunning
without any ammunition It is the
concensus of opinion that if a skilled
detective had been placed on the ease
Immediately, he might have been able
p,y now to furnish the jury with some
thing more tangible than suspicions,
Outside work by a detective has been
needed as well as inside work by a
jury.
jt seems now as If suspicion Is being
directed to Matt Willingham. He is
the one witness who was caught. In a
number of contradictory statements

the murder.

FUNDS FOR TEACHERS
Georgia Treasury Statement Sub
mitted to Governor Candler.
EIGHTY PER CENT AVAILABLE
With Sum of $200,000 Borrowed From
t*>e Banks the Total Funds for
Teachers' Salaries Will
Be $263,499.32.
An Atlanta, Ga.. special says; Ac
cording to tie- figures in the treasury
statement submitted lo Governor Can
dler Thursday by Comptroller General
W. A. Wright and State Treasurer R.
K. Park, the governor will be able, it
appears, to pay the teachers of the
state more than 80 per cent of their
salaries for the month for which they
were not paid on account of the su
preme court decision with reference to
tile public property fund.
The situation in brief is this: The
cash balance in the treasury on June
14th was $795,707.97, from which must
be deducted about. $40,000 paid out on
salaries, etc., during the quarter with
out warrants, leaving net cash in the
treasury $755,707.97. The estimated
receipts up to October 1st are $,'(92,000,
making a total of $1,147,707.97. Th«
estimated expenses up to October 1st
are $540,000, leaving, balance In the
treasury October 1st of $607,707.97.
From this balance must be subtracted
the public property and sinking funds,
amounting to $544,208.65, leaving avail
able cash balance in the treasury Octo- |
ber 1st $63,499.32. [
if tlm governor borrows $200,000, as
lie expects to do, he will have $2(53,-
199.32, which he can pay the teachers
practically at once. This will pay all
that, is duo them with the exception of
about $5o,000 or nearly 85 per cent of
tin'll' salaries for (lie month stated.
Governor Candler Talks.
“I have not yel gone into the reports
from the treasurer and tin- comptroller
general "Governor Candler said Thurs
day. "but they are practically the same
in results. I shall not. take any action
until 1 confer with Treasurer l’ark.
“I expect to pay the teachers every
cent it Is possible for me to let them
have, but how much that win lie I can
not yet say. It may he that, it will
be possible to pay them 75 or 80 per
cent, but t»iat 1 cannot tell yet.
“I have made Inquiries with regard to
securing money, and t find I can get
all I want at a satisfactory rate of
Aiterest.”
Money Easily Obtainable.
Atlanta and Savannah will furnish
the money with which the state will
t ide over its financial difficulties. State
Treasurer Park, who spent Thursday
in Savannah, completed his arrange
ments there for secjiring the requisite
$200,000.
Mr. Park stated that he told (lover
nor Candler some days ago that he
thought the amount needed could ho
obtained in Georgia on hh good. If not
better, terms than In New York, and
that his views on the subject had
proved eminently correct. He obtained
something over one-half of the amount
needed In Atlanta, and the remainder
was secured In Savannah. The banks
which furnish the money are the Citi
zens’ bank and the Houthr rn hank, of
Savannah; the Neal Loan and Hank
ing Company, the Atlanta National
bank and the Fourth National hank, of
Atlanta.
Not a single bank which was asked
to take part in the loan hesl ated a
moment, notwithstanding that, the rate
of interest offered was lower than the
ordinary business rates. The rate lias
not been given out, but. It Is under
stood to he fuas low as the money
could have been obtained for In New
York. |
