LITTLE ROCK, March patch received in this city from Texar- kana says: “Seven negrocs have been lynched by citizens of Little River county. The victims are Edward Goodwin, Ben Jones, Adam King, Moses Jones, Joe Jones and two others whose names can- not be learned. The three Joneses were brothers and friends of“Genera1” Duck. ett, the negro lynched on last:,Wednes- day for the murder of James Stockton, a. wealthy planter of Little River coun- ty. Since the lynching of Duckett the blacks had planned a race war. A ne- gro let the secret out, which greatly en- raged the whites, who were not satis— fied with lynching the leader. Another negro named Joe King remarked that Stockton should have been murdered sooner. He was taken to the woods and whipped, as was also John Johnson. Other negroes made threats, but noth- ing-occurred until “’ednesday, when the dead bodies were found hanging to trees just across Red river from the Stockton farm, in Bowie county, Tex. “The place where the lynching occur— red is many miles from any town. ‘The negroes are fleeing from the district. Yesterday three wagons full arrived at Texarkana, having crossed the Red riv- er at Index at midnight. They were greatly frightened.” ' Three Negroes Lynched. JACKSON, Miss, March 24.—Three negroes were lynched by a mob near Silver City, in Yazoo county, last Sat- urday morning. After being shot to death the bodies of the victims were weighted with bundles of cotton ties and thrown into the Yazoo river. The negroes were Miner Wilson, C. C. Reed and Willis Boyd. They were the ring- leaders of the negroes in a race en- counter on the Midnight plantation early last week. » The race difficulty referred to took place in a settlement in Sharkey coun- ty. The first indication that the whites of that neighborhood had of trouble was when several planters and citizens were shot at by negroes. The three men who were lynched had been previously iden- tified as those who shot at two white citizens from a cabin by the‘roadside. It was also reported that some negroes had besieged the overseer of a planta- tion in the neighborhood. In addition to this there were all afloat. A crowd of 200 whites assembled from Sharkey and Yazoo counties in order to catch the ambushers and their accom- plices. Two of the ringleaders escaped, but a large number of suspects were~ar- rested, of whom all were finally releas- ed, except the three negroes just lynch— 1 ed. They were not lynched after their capture, but were turned over to Sher- iff Johnson of Yazoo county, who noti- fied the sheriff of Sharkey county that he held them at his order. It is not known whether the mob was composed of Yazoo county men or whether it was a select crowd which . came over from Sharkey county. Silver City is not far from the scene of the first trouble which resulted in the lynching. Philadelphia Water Legislation.

WASHINGTON, March 24.—The fol- lowing order addressed 1'0 General Miles has been issue at the war department with date of March 22: “Hereafter no chief or acting chief of staff corps shall be detailed or ordered to any duty by any authority without the approval of the secretary of war.” This order. is signed by R. A. Alger, secretary of war. This order of Secretary Alger has been issued to 'set at rest all question as to who is the supreme authority in the war department. troversy, dating back to the time when Jefferson Davis was secretary of war and General Scott commanding general of the army. (- The last time the matter was brought prominently to the atten- tion of the country was during the ad- ministration of General Arthur, when Secretary Lincoln wrote a‘very caustic letter to Lieutenant General Sheridan stating that the staff corps of the war department, with the exception of the adjutant generals and the inspector generals’ corps were under the direct control and subject only to orders by the secretary of war. The order of Sec— retary Alger will hereafter include the chiefs of those corps under the sole con- trol of the secretary. General Miles has held to the.construction based upon the letter of Secretary Lincoln. The cause for the issuance of the or- der was a recent order of General Miles to Lieutenant Colonel Garlington, act- ing chief of the inspector generals’ corps during the absence of General Breckin- ridge, directing Garlington to visit cer- tain points in the west on an ipspection tour. The order of the secretary does not refer to Genral Breckinrldge’s pres— ent duty in Cuba, as he is acting under orders issued by Secretary Alger. Soldiers Entitled to Extra Pay. IVASHINGTON.

Filipinos Torture Prisoners. SAN FRANCISCO, March 24.——A let- ter from Captain McQuestin, surgeon of the Twentieth regulars, now at Ma- nila, tells of the release of A. B. Peters, a photographer, who was captured and tortured by the Filipinos. Peters was taken prisoner while tak- ing pictures outside the lines. He was thrust into a filthy jail, where he was visited by a native captain, who tested his sword on his body and threatened to kill him. The rebel chief then called in a number of naked savages, all arm- ed, who executed a war dance and made passes at Peters, one of which wounded him in the arm. The next morning he was taken to Malolos, where he found eight Americans, two English- men and a. Spaniard. From here he finally secured his release through the intervention of American officials. Filipinos’ Mail Captured. WASHINGTON, March 24.—The cap- ture of Caloocan, in the Philippine is- land of Luzon, by the United States forces recently resulted in the confis- cation of considerable mail addressed to the insurgent government. It in- cludes a number of letters of Aguinaldo and other leaders and brings out some interesting facts about Filipino official methods. Postal Agent Vaille, at Ma- nila, has forwarded some of this mail to Acting Postmaster General Heath. One letter is addressed to Aguinaldo’s so called secretary of the treasury and is in reply to a request for money. The writer is apparently the fiscal officer at Lucena, Luzon, to whom the insurgents had intrusted the duty of “squeezing" the merchants, and he had apparently confiscated for the insurgent cause a. lot of cocoa fiber belonging to a. large tobacco company. When asked to turn over the proceeds, the agent remarks that only $3,500 had come into his hands and that amount he had paid to the troops, who were clamorous for more. The letter is written in very fair Span- ish. Apparently Aguinaldo’s treasury officials are running short of paper, for the outer covering of the letter is made of a sheet of paper, written all over, torn out of a record book, and it was tied around with a. fragment of manila. bagging.
