The eastern mail has brought the
report of Major Waller upon the fam

the Island »»f Ivimar, resulting In the
loss of a hantber Of* the .marines and-
hardships and su!Terint<s on the part
of flie otliers beyond anythinit yet
known in the 1’hilippine campaign.
Major Waller’s reports are formal and
do not ro into the details of tho move
ments of the marines, hut the news of
the affair is contained in a report from
Lieut. W. K. Shoemaker, U. S. N.,
who conducted the relief expedition
that succored the marines. After de-
lailintt the arrival into the American
lines of <'apt.. INtrTer and Lieut. WII-
included in the above total of 31, was
transported to Basey, meeting Major
Waller. His party appears, from the
statements of the officers, to have
been reduced to nearly the same ex
tremity as the other. They had prac
tically given up hope when the oppor
tune capture of a small boy, the only
native seen, resulted in their getting
through to the coast.”

The Explanation of the Disappear
ance of Fifty Men.
John Welsh, a white man, who has
been implicated by allegation by Mat-
tie Bennett, the negress leader of the
gang of robbers and murderers which
has been operating at Beaumont,
Texas, was carried to Baumont Thurs
day, having been arrested at Houston
on the strength of the woman's con
fession. Welsh denies complicity in
the murders. He was an iron moul
der employed in the foundry where
Benjamin Pearson, one of the mur
dered men, worked. In Jail the Ben
nett woman talked freely to a repor
ter. She confessed everything ex
cept direct murder, and went fully
into the details followed by the gang.
“The business has Men going on
for six months,” said she. “The men
would go out to the saloons and street
comers and find men that had money.
They would bring them to my house
and I and the other woman would
give them beer with knock-out drops
in it. Then the men would either Mat
them up there or rob them or take
them out int i the bubo yard. 1 don't
know how many men 1 have drugged:
too many to remember, and all of them
were robbed. “1 don't know what
them folk* that I’ve told the sheriff
ut will do tn me. I know 1 am

/ D a rlrtc. Nine of them had either
gone crazy or tiad fallen by the trail
half dead from starvation and expiai-
ure. It had rained steadily for eigb-
. teen days. Lieut. A. 8. Williams had
made every effort to get them along
but had to alondiHi them. He could
only save the men who were able to
reach the tviat tiy the river, the prob-,
able point of arrival ^of the relief ex-
pedidion. He got there on the night
nf the Dili! instant, his party having
been without food, except roots, the
pulps of plants, and a very few sweet
potatoes, for fifteen days. To fur
ther complicate matters, the native
bearers, about 30 in number, became
sulky, practically refusing assistance
to the white men. They would build
shacks as a protection from the con
tinual downpour for themselves only,
and knowing the edible roots and
plants, were more skilful in obtaining
food. A time came when no white
man could carry a rifle, and those not
lost were in the hands of the natives;
under the altered condition, it requir
ed considerable diplomacy on the part
■ of Lieut. Williams to handle them all.
Just before reaching the ri'ver two
bearers tried to „ kill Williams, stab
bing him about the chest with a bolo.
He tried to shoot but had not sufflei-
“•ent strength to pull the trigger. Then
they tried to kill him with his own
pistol, but did not know Imw to work
the weapon. Williams was rescued by
a few of liis men who Hollered up,
armed with sticks, and the natives
took to the bush. No Filipinos were
seen in the region, there being no food.
The relief party saw some coming
from the direction of Herraane; soil
is probable that the insurgents about
there'got wind of the desperate con
dition of the aarines and were hur
rying up to take advantage of it. Re
lief tame just in time.

The Great Library Give
Andrew Carnegie was the chief
guest and principal speaker Thursday
evening at the seventh animal dinner
of the New York Library Club. Mr.
Carnegie, 4 on the subject of libraries
for rural communities, said: "I have
been much gratified by the numerous
applications of small communities in
the West for libraries. And in this
connection I will say that as I knew 1
would have the pleasure of dining here
tonight, I felt I ought to do something
to deserve that pleasure. I have dealt
with about forty of these applications
today and am glad to say that in all,
except perhaps two cases, I have seen
my way to grant them.” After the
dinner Mr. Carnegie wfts asked for a
list of the libraries he had endowed
but he said • he‘ was unable to give it.
He said, however, that the application
fora library for Albany, N. Y., was
one of them, and he thought the
amount he had given was 1175,000.

A Brute Hanged.
Oliver Greer, a negro boy. was
hanged at Anderson Friday for a
criminal assault committed upon a
white lady near Belton last December.
Greer was cool snd appeared‘'uncon
cerned as tu his fate, and talked free
ly to all visitors. He acknowledged
Jury was that the man was unknown
to them and that be came to his death
by accidental drowning. Every one
that has seen this body and knew
Warren during life, positively Identi
fied It as being his body. The pistols
found on the body were also identified
as Warren's property.
There was a camp fixed Just scrore the
river from where the body was found
just large enough for one man to sleep
in. This was In sight of where tbe
safe was tied on the night of Jan. 27tti.
The supposition now is that Warren
was at this camp watching the safe
when the officers found it, and seeing
they were pretty close and fearing cap*
tore, tried to swim the river and was
drowned in the attempt. It was gen*
erally thought that Warren was at
the head of both of tbe exprere rob
beries which occurred near Fifty*
Eight.
A Ghostly Find.
The Greenwood Journal says the
dead body of an unknown negro boy,
apparently about sixteen yean of age
was found Wednesday morning under

Evidently he had crept under this
Shelter to sleep and died, either from
the cold or some disease, there being
no marks of violence any where on bit
person. No one recognized tbe fea
tures of tbe unfortunate creature.
The boy had been dead, undoubtedly,
for several weeks.
