Bilosl, MIbb.. .rune 11.—Two negro
men were lynched for poBBlbly one
man's crime, and It la not absolutely
certain that either victim of mob law
was guilty. Henry Askew and Ed
Buss, held as suspects, were strung
up to a tree in a thicket Jus| behind
the railway station at Mississippi
City. The law abiding people of this
section, while confident no necessity
existed for such vigorous action, de-
plore and condemn the dual lynching.
District Attorney White announced
that they would be brought to trial on
Monday and yesterday at a mass meet-
ing held at thla place the clUsens
promised to support the district at-
torney In his efforts to have Justice
done through the proper legal, chan-
nels. Early last night Sheriff Ram-
sey, In order to protect Askew and
Russ from ‘mob violence, moved them
to a bath house. After midnight tho
mob assembled nqar the bath house
and after overpowering a deputy sher-
iff brought to protect his prisoners,
dragged the two negroes away. The
crowd, who were supposed to know
nothing of the negroes’ hiding place,
did not stop at the prison, but went
straight to the bath house. The ne-
groes were tied, back to back, and
swung up to the same tree. Their
> bodies were riddled with bullets, and,
after death ensued, were set on fire.
The nauseating smell of burning flesh
iould lie distinguished for miles awtry.
The sheriff saw the members of the
mob, but It 1* stated “was unable to
recognize them on account of trees
easting shadows on their faces.” About
100 men gathered near the scene of
the crime, waiting for the appearance
of the posse with their prisoners, but
•were disappointed. The mob was Im-
patient and did Its work when the first
tree was reached.
On June 2 Christina Wlntersteln. a
13-year-old school glr, was outraged
and murdered abou two miles from
Biloxi wslle on her way home from
school exercises. Askew and Russ,
both of whom had been In the vicinity
of the place where the outrage was
committed that day, were charged with
the crime.

London, June 1>.—Lieutenant Gen-
eral 81r Frederick Forrester Walker,
in command of the llnea of communi-
cation In South Africa, has reported
that In the disaster to the British
troops June 7 at Roodeval, where the
Boera cut Lord Roberts’ line of com-
munications, the Fourth.battalion of
the Derbyshire regiment were all
killed, wounded or made prisoners, ex-
cept six enlisted men. Two officers
and fifteen men were killed and five
officers and seventy-two men wound-
ed, many of them severely. The Boers
returned the wounded to the British.
The officers killed were Lieutenant
Colonel Baird-Douglaes and Lieuten-
ant Hawley. The wounded Include
Colonel Wilkinson and Lieutenant
Blanchard of the Canadian Infantry.
It Is Inferred that the Boers captured
over 600 men and aa late as June 10
frejd the positions, cutting off the
British forces north • of Kroonstadt
from reinforcements. The dispatch
from General Forrestler-Walker says
General Methuen Is fighting ten miles
from Heilbron. The news that the
shutting off ol Lord Roberts’ com-
munications with the outer world was
accompanied by such serious loss came
like a boll from a comparatively clear
sky. In London until the news came
It was thought the destruction of the
railroad was accomplished by Free
Staters who were avoiding rather than
annihilating the British detachments
stationed at the point attacked. Nor
are General Forrestier-Walker’s vague
statements regarding Methuen and the
southern district at Heilbron looked
upon as reassuring. The Boers ap-
pear to be in sufficient strength to
completely separate all the British
forces north and south of the line,
stretching some fifty ml tee between
Roodeval and Heilbron. The only
British officer left at Roodeval ap-
pears to be the doctor In charge of
the hospital, which Is full of wound
ed. What has happened to the troops
immediately north of Roodeval Is still
a matter of conjecture. All in al( yes-
terday's dispatches reveal a situation
far more serious than any one Im-
agined.

Visited General Torre#’ headquarters
at Torrlon and tells of a spirited eo
gageiueut last week between Yaqul

The Indians came down from the Ba

of cattle. The cavalry went In pursuit
and got within firing distance near tha

during which twelve warriors were
killed uud the Mexican losses were
equal If not greater. The Indians suc-
ceeded, however lu getting away with
the cattle and their wounded. General

A Fatal Disunity.
Livingston, Texas, June i2.—'Yester-
day Bruce Pouuds, Sam Bishop and
Douglass lfliiston had a fight near
town. This evening Founds and Bis-
hop went to J.W. Oocbran's mill, three
miles from town, and the difficulty
of yesterday was renewed. After
eleven shots were fired Founds fell
mortally wounded and Hlnston started
to go to where Pounds was lying.
Founds raised up and shot Hinson, the
ball enterlug the left side, passing
through the body, and was cut out on
the right side. Hinson thought that
Pounds was dead and as soon as
Pounds shot Hinson, he shot Pounds
the third time. Ponds lded at 8 o'clock
to-night and It Is doubtful if Ulns^ti
lives but a few days. How the diffi-
culty orlgnated Is uot known.
Guard for P«kln.
Tien Tsln, June 12.—It Is learned
tbat but for the firmness of the Unit-
ed States consul Bnd Captain McCalls
of the Newark, In charge of the Amer-
ican landing party, and the ‘British
consul, there would have been further
delay In dispatching the International
guard to Pekin and the majority of
the forces would not have been
brought. At a meeting of the consuls
and commanders of troops last even-
ing, when the necessity for the im-
mediate dispatch of troops was con-
sidered, the representatives tit two
European powers questioned the ne-
cessity and afterward disparaged the
idea that the British force should
preponderate. The Americans, how
ever, insisted and carried their point.
The Americans generally deplore the
smallness of the United States force
here. At the same time they are
ready to defer to whatever may be
considered best at Washington.
