The attempt to cut the telephone and fire alarm wires leeding to the city hall was not successful. A policeman saw three men on top o f an outbuilding try ing to reach the lines overhead. He turned in an alarm to the headquarters o f General Wells, commending a pro visional brigade, and the letter dis patched e wagonload o f soldiers to tbe acene. They arrived before the trio had done any damage. The would-be wiracutters fled, leaving their nippers behind. A genuine scare was caused at the headquarters in the arsenal last night after a squad had been sent to disperse a crowd at Allen and Spring streets. Fivejminutes later a report reached Lieutenant Colonel Eddy that shots had been fired in tbe threatened district. He immediately sent a fu ll platoon to the piece to reinforce the squid. When the additional soldiers appeared the crowd broke and ran. Tbe soldiers pursued them fo r several blocks and the district, which is near the scene o f Saturday night’s lynching, was in an uproar fo r a few minutes. The arsenal wee crowded lest night with negro refugees from Springfield and surrounding towns. About 200 men, women end children sought shelt er in the building and slept on the floor or in chairs. ■ Alarms were more numerous last evening then on former nights. In no single case, however, up to a late hour, was there any circumstance which com pelled the use o f force. A fire early in the evening at East Mason and Fourth streets brought out the, largest crowd, but it was composed mostly o f curiosity seekers and was handled easily. Three barns were destroyed by the fire, which is supposed to have been started by mischevious boys. ■ Governor Deneen explained last night that the disposition e f troops at the capitol was not because o f any ap prehension o f danger to that edifice, but because the grounds offered excel lent camping facilities and were strategic point from which Colonel Sanborn could control the situation west o f Seventh street. The state’s attorney o f Kankakee county called on the governor in the afternoon in an effort to have arrested the soldierr who stabbed Earl Nelson with a bayonet in the First Regiment train at Kankakee last night. The governor referred him to the military authorities. HE C L A IM S V IC T O R Y . Castro C row s Over Holland, Although N o Blood Shed. Willemstad, Aug. 17.— I t seems that the authorities refused to permit the Dutch cruiser Gelderland to enter the port o f La Gaayra, and this act was re garded at the capital in the light o f a defeat for The Netherlands men-of- war. I t was celebrated with a recep tion by President Castro, at which there was music and dancing, and, when the president made his way through the streets o f the city, he was given an ovation. An official o f the customs house at La Guayra, who had communication with the Gelderland has been dis missed. The Netherlands vessel went into La Guayra August 1 and, when she re turned here, her commander said that all communication with the port had been refused. The port authority declined to accept an official communi cation to the German minister, who is in charge o f the interests o f the Neth erlands in Curacoa. The population o f Curacoa has peti tioned the governor o f the colony to declare free the importation'and ex portation o f arms and ammunition. Revolt Against Castro. Panama, Aug. 17.— Numerous mem bers o f the Venezuelan colony here ex press gratification over the turn o f rev olutkmary affairs in their country. Tw ÿ special commissioners from the revolutionary forces at Los Anders« ar rived here yesterday and brought to their countrymen the news that the revolutionary movement in Venezuela is very strong.

Springfield, 111., Aug. 16.— Spring- field is in the^hands o f a mob o f en raged citizens who began last night to wreak vengeance on negro residents fo r an assault committed yesterday by George Richardson, a negro, on Mrs. Earl Hallam, a white woman. A t 1 o’clock this morning the whole east end o f town burst into flames, the torch having been applied to several negro houses by some o f the more des perate mob members. A mob o f white men at 2 :46 o’clock this morning lynched a negro who was supposed to be sneaking under cars on the Illinois Central tracks and shooting at the whites. The Decatur company o f the Illinois National guard arrived at 2 :30 o ’clock this morning and- went to the “ bad lands,” where 20 huts occupied by negroes have been burned and where the fire is still raging. Tw o men are already dead and prob ably two score others are injured, mostly negroes. The rabble is sweep ing through the streets attacking every negro met. A ll the local m ilitia are on duty, and half a dozen companies from other cities are rushing here on special trains. Still other companies are ordered to hold themselves in re serve. The fire department ia help less to combat tbe fire in the negro quarter on account o f the threatening attitude o f the mob toward tbe ftre- men. Eugene Chafin, Prohibition candi date for president, in protecting a ne gro from death, was struck on the head with s brick and put out o f com mission temporarily. The negro he saved drew a knife and badly cut aeve- valr men in the fight. Richardson and another negro want ed fo r murder were stealthily taken from Springfield ja il last evening and rushed to Bloomington, whence they were later taken to Peoria. It ia thought that with the arrival o f the out o f town troops tbs streets w ill be cleared and order restored. Negroes in two instances have turn ed with considerable effect upon their assailants. In one mixup a trooper at tempted to separate the combatants and was nearly overwhelmed by those In pursuit o f several negroes. Most o f the members o f Troop B, o f Taylorville, are on guard around the jail. The rioters who had gathered in front o f the ja il after the incarcera tion o f Richardson were enraged by the ruse practiced by the -sheriff in removing him. Finding that the negroes were gone, the mob amused itself fo r a time by looting negro resorts in East Washing ton street. The amusement o f the rioters was tragedy fo r the negroes, many o f whom were roughly handled and beaten with pieces o f their own furniture. A white man and his son, whose names were not ascertained by the po lice, were shot, supposedly by negroes. This encounter further enraged the members o f the mob and they began a general search for negroes wherever they could be found. Dozen Probably Killed. Springfield, 111., Aug. 16, 2:45 a m. — The mob is still burning houses in the negro quarter and the police believe that a least s dozen people have been killed. N o outside troops have yet ar rived.
