TROOPS 8CATTER MOB.
Police of 8prlng1eld Also Foil Attempt
to Cut Wires.
Springfield, III., Aug. 17. Two
deaths from Injuries received In pre
vious mob fights, the attempted cutting
of tho firo alarm wires, tho exoncrntlou
of Private J. H. Klein, company A,
First Illinois Infantry, by n court of
Inquiry for the killing of Karl Nelson
at Kankakee, Saturday, and the pursuit
of a mob by guardsmen were thn chief
' flftvetnmni.nfji In tlm rnrt war In Knrintf-
fleld yesterday.
Thu attempt in cut the telephone and
firo alarm wires leading to the city hall
was not successful. A policeman saw
three men on top of nn outbuilding try
ing to reach tho lines overhead. Ho
turned In an alarm to tho headquarters
of General Wells, commanding n pro
visional brigade, and tho latter dis
patched n wngonload of soldiers to tho
scene, They arrived before the trio
hail done any damage. Tho would-bo
wirecuttcrs 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 dispcrsa
a crowd at Allen and Spring streets.
Five minutes later a report reached
Lieutenant Colonel Bddy that shots had
been fired in tho threatened district.
Uo immediately sent n full platoon to
thu place to reinforce the squad. When
thu additional soldiers appeared tho
crowd broke and ran. The soldiers
pursued them for several blocks and
the district, which In near the scene of
Saturday night's lynching, was in an
uproar for n few minutes.
Tho arsenal was crowded lost night
with negro refugees from Springfield
and surrounding towns. About 200
men, women and children sought shelt
er in the building and slept on tho floor
or in chairs.
Alarms wcro more numerous lost
evening than on former nights. In no
singla case, however, up to a late hour,
was there any circumstance which com
pelled the use of force. A firo early in
tho evening at Host Mason and Fourth
streets brought out thu largest crowd,
but it was composed mostly of curiosity
seekers nnd was handled cosily. Three
barns wore destroyed by tho fire,
which Is supposed to have been started
by mischevious boys.
Governor Dene-cn explained lost
night that the disposition of troops at
the capltol was not because of any ap
prehension of danger to that edifice,
but because the grounds offered excel
lent camping facilities und wcro a
strategic point from which Colonel
Sanborn could control the situation
west of Seventh street.
Tho state's attorney of Kankakeo
county called on the governor in tho
afternoon In an effort to have arrested
the soldier who stabbed Earl Nelson
with a bayonet In tho First Itegimcnt
train at Kankakeo last night. The
governor referred him to tho military
authorities.
HE CLAIMS VICTORY.
Castro Crows Over Holland, Although
No Blood Shed.
Willemstad, Aug. 17. It seems that
thu authorities refused to permit tho
Dutch cruiser Goldorland to enter tho
jort of La Guayrn, and this act was re
garded at the capital in the light of a
defeat for The Netherlands men-of-war.
It was celebrated with a recep
tion by Prosident Castro, nt which
thero was music and dancinir. and.
'when the president made his way
through the streets ot tno city, no was
given an ovation.
An official of the customs houso at
Ln Guayrn, who had communication
with tho Goldorland has been dis
missed. The Netherlands vessel went Into La
Guayrn August 1 nnd, when she re
turned hero, her commander said that
I all communication with tho porthsd
ueen roiusea. ino pori numonues
declined to nccept an ollicial communi
cation to tho German minister, who Is
in charge of tho Interests of tho Neth
erlands In Curacoa.
Tho population of Curacoa has peti
tioned tho governor of the colony to
declare free tho imjwrtation and ex
irartation of arms and ammunition.
Gold Amalgam Stolen.
Rono, Nov., Aug. 17. A sack of
amalgam shipped by express to tho
Carson mint from Manhattan, n few
days aco has disappeared. About n
, week ngo two sacks containing gold
amalgam worth several thousand dol
lars, wore shipped from Manhattan,
Only one arrived nt tho mint. Whore
j tho other is is a mystery. Detectives
hnvo found that the shipment, instead
of going via Mound House, camo to
Keno nnu was lorwarueu. I huy be
lieve ono of tho sacks was stolen while
they wero boing transferred in Reno.
Bars Up Against Curacoa.
Willemstad, Aug. 17. Letters from
Venezuela say that nil cargoes nnd pas
songers coming from Curacoa will be
refused at Venezuelan ports, but ves
sels from the island will be admitted
j without consular despatch.
RIOTING CONTINUES
Two More Denttis Recorded at
Springfield, Illinois.
HARD TO MAINTAIN ANY ORDER
Fr'cquent Shots From Amhuth at tho
Troops Serve to Keep Whole
Town In Uproar.
Springfield, HI., Aug. 18. Follow
ing tho addition of two victims to tho
death list, sporadic outbursts of law
lessness in various parts of the city
and Increased symptoms generally that
the mob spirit still rules Springfield,
Governor Qcnccn last night Issued six
proclamations offering rewards amount
ing to $1,200 for tho arrest and con
viction of tho riot leaders. Tho deaths
now number five, but since ono death
was due only indirectly to tho disturb
ance, no account has been taken of It.
The two new victims were J. W.
Scott and a three-weeks old negro
baby, tho daughter of Mr. and Airs.
Lawrence Payne, of Springfield. Tlio
baby succumbed to exposure when its
parents started to walk from Spring
field to Pittsfield In an effort to avoid
persecution. Scott died in a hospital
from wounds received Friday night.
Scattered sections of the city wcro
In an uproar at different times during
tho early part of the night. Harvard
park was attain tho storm center.
Twico patrols were fired upon in that
vicinity, but in neither case was any
one injured. This is the section to
which troops wcro called Sunday night
by similar occurrences. Over In tho
western end of town in the vicinity of
the state house and arsenal there wcro
several cases of revolver firing by
rowdies.
The marauders traveled In groups of
two or three, obeying the orders of tho
militia patrols to keep moving, but as
soon as they wcro well past the grouro
of soldiers they drew their revolvers
and fired Into the air and fled down side
streets, escaping In the darkness.
Two arrests, apparently not connect
ed with the rioting, added excitement
and served to frighten timid residents.
As a consequence calls for troops wero
frequent and the militia had a hard
night.
A picket from Company L, Fifth
Infantry, fired five shots at n negro
who attempted to break the sentry Una

the Liberal party of Great Britain, who
is visiting Canada, predicts a conflict
between Japan and America. Ho says :
"Japan is preparing to restrict tho
overflow of her people into countries
where they are not wanted, but it does
not require a prophet to foresee that
tho feeling between theso swarthy
John Hulls of the Pacific and tho whito
races of America may soon grow ucuto
and may mean war. Just now Japan
is having a struggle to make both ends
meet in national flnanco and has cut
down her naval and military program
by large amounts.
"I have no doubt myself, however,
that when sho gets over tho enormous
losses of tho lato war with Russia
there will be trouble. If sho can stir
up and force an alliance with half
awakened China tho yellow peril will
bo a reality."
