The Captlve Chalned Between Tw» Pine Treesand a Fire Is Eult Around Him, Epecial Dispatch to THE CAT SOUTHPORT, N. C, Nov. 27.—A white boy was brutally murdered by a negro and the murderer burned to death by an infuriated moo of white farmers near here last Thursday. During the fall a party of farmers have been fishing on Therry Grove Beach, near Little River, 8. C. On Monday, Novem- ber 15, one of the farmers' boys, by the name of Stevens, left for his home en the Waoccamaw River with an ox and cart, carrying a pickage of money. The father of Stevens went home, but found noihing had been heard of his son since he Liad leit the beach. It was learned that a negro name! Nathan Willis bad borrowed a gun asd left the beuch :shorily after Stevens’ son had depar.ed for his home, A posse was organized by the Sheriff and Willis was traced about thirty miles to Town Creek, N. C., where he was found on last We inesday, having in his posses- sion Stevens’ ox, cart and eloth hat full of shot holes. He was carried by the Sheriff and posse on Thanksgiving day back into South Carolina. Reports came in to-day that Willis was taken from the Sheriff on Thursday niuht by a mob of infuriated furmers and car- ried off into the woods, where he was chalned between two box-faced pine trees. Light wood was piled around him and he was burned to death. The place is so far in the country that furiher deumils could not be learned.

Thereupon the Presi- ‘ dent returned and stoud unmoved, and | | | the House was filled with the noise cansed by trumpet-blowin pping on | the part of the Righ and other dis: turbances. After waiting ten minues, o1r continuing, the President left ce the noice was not the German National the € e, en d atout that time, but was forcibly ej ected by the po. ice, to whom he offered a violent resist- ance.

Dr. Leuger, the anti-Semite Burzcomas- ter of Vienna, also visited the Premier and represented fo him the dangerous temper of the yopulace, saying that ibe people were becoming more and more ex- cited, aud that something must be doneif serious trouble was to be avoided. After to-day’s session the majority’s parliamentary committee met and re- solved to defer planning its course until the Government communicated its inten- L ons to the House. A crowa of students during the after- noon assemb.ed on the Reichstrasse and indu'ged in demonsirations until they | were dispersed by the police. Throuzncut the evening the police were obliged repeatedly to disperse the political crowds who ga d in the Ringstrasse between the pirliament houses-and the university buildings. In front of the for- mer a crowd numbering 000, principally composad of students, assembled, and hooted and grownel at the police, and finally attacked the othcers with stones. Eventually the police were ordered to | clear the stieets, which they did with drawn swords. At Gratz, the capital of Styria,’a band of students and other young men started to parade the streets, but were prevented by the police from carrying out their inten- tion, and compeiled to disperse. Later in the evening a riotous crowd of workmen assembled in the bu-iness quarter of the town and bezan to break windows and commit other excesses. Four companies of infantry and a squadron of cavalry were summoned to the scene of dis- turbances. Upon theirarrival they were assailed by | a shower of stones and were compelled to fire upon the mob, killing two and wound- ing five of the rioters. Of the injured four are suffering from bayonet thrusis. Several police officers were aiso hurt.

Special Dispatch to THE CALL NEW YORK, Nov. 27 —A Washington <p cial to the Herald says: P:nding a set- lement of the important international questions involvad in the Cuban matter, the administra‘ion 1s not pressing the Ruiz or any other claim for indemnity | whic has been filed against Spain. The only representation made by this Govern- ment in the matter of the Ruiz claim was that submitted by Hannis Taylor just he- fore his retirement in September from the office of Minister to Spain, when he de- manded that $75,000 be paid to the widow of Dr. Ruiz. The only reply made by Spain has been an acknowledgment of the reccint of the demand. An officiai told me tbe Ruiz claim was made the subject of special instructions to Minister Woodford, but he had been in- structed to give the matter of ending the war in Cuba ptecedence over all other questions. The anthorities do not pro- pose to let Spain forget the claim. They are also determined that Spain shall pay a claim for §50,000 filed by Samuel T.; Tolon, who was arres ed on the American steamer Seneca, September 3, 1896, kept incommunicado twenty-two days and relessed September 30. The State D:pariment received a long cable dispatch from Madrid to-day giving | atull svnopsis of the new plan of auton- omy just gezeted in Madrid. The dis- pateh’ was carried to the Wh te House this evening. As a result of Presidunt McKinley's perusal [ amable to s ste that he is now more fully convinced than ever of the sincerity of Spain’s promise to give Cuba genuinre home rule, The President appreciates the fact that pro-Cuban symratiizers in Congress will | endeavor to pick flaws in the scheme, but he believes that the Spanish Ministry has taken a long step in tha rightdirection | than has been expecred. Tomas Estrada Palma, the Cuban dele- gate in this city, xpeaking to day on the terms of the autonomv decree, said: “These propositions were scorned in ad- vance of their presentation. They can re- ceive no consideration now. Wi h tuba itis asit has been since the war began, | and will be until it ends—independence | or death.” SLOT MACHINES 10 0, Arrests to Be Made Forthwith, Peremptory Notice Sent to Every Man Having a Machins on His Premises.

Tne Chief of Police directs that vou cause one of these notices 1o be served upon each persoq, firm or corporation who have these machines in operation or use, and to make re- port in writing, giving the stieet and number, with the name of the rerson, firm or corpora- | tion upon whom each notice hns been se. ved, After the ro ice shall have been sery if the machiues are continued in use, the offi will te 1ustructed to make arrests and tinue to make arrests, as long as there ma chines are in use, taking possession of said machines as evidence of their being gambling devices, and depositing them, wiih such other evidence as may be obtained, in the cffic the property clerk of ihis department. e i said muchines so removed 10 be properiy le- beled, so that the officer taking 1t may be able 10 identity itin court.

SENDING MORE SHIPS TO CHINA. Within Two Months a Squad- ron of Eight Cruisers Will Assemble There. PRINCE HENRY SEEKS NAVAL LAURELS. At the Same Tims Germany Will Dispatch Warships to Force Haytl to Terms. Special Dispatch to IHE CALL BERLIN, Nov. 27.—The presence of Em- peror Wiliiam at Kiel on the occasion cf swearing in the naval recruits has had the expected eff-ct of clearing the situation to far as Germany's attitude »toward China and Hayd is concerned. Within two months & squadrcn of eight fine cruisers, having on board 350) men, will be assembled in Chinese waters, and the fact that Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of bLis Majesty, is to command half this force lends probability to the reports current in Government circles that hot work is expected, as Prince Henry’s great ambition for years past has been to win naval laure's. Furthermore, a correspondent here has been told by gentlemen who were at Kiel upon the occasion referred to that Em- veror William, in conversation with Ad- miral von Knorr, commander-in-chief of the imperial navy, and with Prince Henry, made this expression: *“Wein muessen Allemania ein proll biegen” (“We must fore_tall Engiand”). This re- mark s made while the Emperor was enlarging on the situation in China and dweiling on the fact that the advantage gained by the quicx action of the German naval forces in Kiao-Chau Bay must be followed by an adequate s rengthening of | the squadron by the forces avaiiable. In this connection the correspondent learns that within three days of the re- ceipt of the news of the murder of the German missionaries the Emperor, through the German Embassadors at Vi- ennaand St, Peteisburg, made confiden- tial inquiries as to whether Germany would be opposed in Chinese waers in case circumstances should render the seizure of territory necessary. The replies obtained were wholly satisfactory. It was because of Russia’s assurance that a free band would be given Germany that Em- peror William was so extraordinar iy at- teniivo to Prince Tonsky, the com- mander of the Russian cruiser Vladimir Monarch, which ves-el was at Kiel upon | the occasion oi Lis Majsty’s visit to that | port, The German newspapers ar3 almost unanimous in demanding that Germany seize the presant opportunity to obtain adequate and tangible compensation for her support of China in the peace nego- tations with Japan in 1896. The Deutsche Zz tung is the mouthpiece ot this feeling when it says: *‘We rejo ce to say that we thus give a guarantee that the German empire sends out a fleet with the firm purpose of obtaining tangible re- sults on the ¢ast of the Y ellow Sea, for it is the second time the ‘Hohenzollern Prince hoists his tlag against exotic piracy, aud we are certain Le will return crosned with laurels.’ ' In regard to the troub'e bstween Ge:r- many and Hayt the imperial warship Gefion will proceed there as soon s she can be fitted for sea, and will enforce the demands of Germany bacsed up by the two German Governwent schoolshins, Gneisenau and Steil. Somewnat late the German press now does jistice to the us- sistance rece.v-d in this matier through the 1intervention of the United States Minister at Port au Prince. The semi- official Hamburger correspondent says: “Ivis certain that if the United S.ates at the critical time tad assumed an un- friend.y attitude the situation would have become more dungercus The mere fact of its geographical situation shows that Amer.ca’s mfluence is paramount at Port au Prince. Tue avpearance in this in- stance of an American fleet . would have sufficed to intensify Hayti’s opposition 1o Germany's demands, as the Hayiians would have seen tuercin an indirect as- surance of support.”’ The tariff on ~uear and petroleum is oc- cupying the uttention of the press exten- sively. The ne:otiations between the Ger- man susar synd cate ana the owners of the refineries, alter pending for months, have uiumately faileu and the plan to «orm a pool has been definitely uropped, at least for the present, as many of those inter sied have decided to remain out- side. Tte purpose was 10 guarantee each member oi the pool a preminm of t1wo marks per 100 kiios, inland consumers to pay double and exporters v receive a like sum from the irust. in spiie of the action of the South Ger- mun dealers, after the announcement that the Mannheim Pure Oil Company, a compeiitor of the siandard Oil Company, bad purchased an isiand in tue Ruine, on which ft is proposed to buiid gicanue tanks, to exclusively patronize the Mann- heim Pure Qil Company, the impression prevails in commercial ciicies that tne German representatives of the Standard Ol Company hanve won the fight and will c:ush all competition. Tue Vossische Zsitung says: “Evi- dently in accordance with an agreement with the Standarg Oil Company tue Rus- sian petroleum deslers have withdrawn from competition in the German market. Of the petroleum import of the current year America furnished 853,642 tons and Russia furnished 43,000 tons. Reporis trom Bremen and Hambur: show that the Standard Qil Company is now virtu- ally alone in the field.” ‘Lhe appeal of the Austro-Hungarian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Couat Goluchowski, asking Europe to unite against American comps.it.01, is vari- ously commented upon here.
