Mrs. Tillman, too, is atandiug the
hard work of travel very well.

two weeks.
"We met this morning on the

just returned from a trip similar to
ours. Both are well.
"Sincerely.
"J. W. Babcock."
Senator Tillman's account of his
trip follows:
"The two weeks which have elapsed
since our landing at Gibraltar
have been spent, in rather strenuous
fashion. The long rest on I he boat
had brought 6uch improvement that
the morning after we recahod Gibraltar
and found a good steamer
about to start for Tangier, 4 0 miles
southward ou the West African coast
in Moroco, we yielded to the suggestion
of two Columbia friends,
Messrs. Melton and Earle, who had
just come in on the German Lloyd
steamer, and put off for Tangier
without seeing Gibraltar at all,
reaching it about 4 p. m. After
resting at the hotel a saunter of an
hour and a half through the narrow,
filthy streets, from seven to 12 feet
wide and all crooked, gave us all
the idea of Mohammedan and Moorish
life and civilization that we wanted,
and there was no difference of
opinion about returning to Gibraltar
next day.
" After hllrini' o tiUni

tar, through which wo drove with
the American counsel, Mr. Richard
Sprague, and whose courtesy was
much appreciated, we crossed over
to Algeclras, Spain, on the opposite
aide of the hay, where we speut two
nights aud a day resting and enjoying
the magnificent view of the famous
Rock of Gibraltar, aud the most
gorgeous display of dowers that it
has ever been our good fortune to
see, hedges of geraniums five feet
high white daisy hushes of even larger
size, with other dowers too numerous
to rnenliou. These are in the
garden or park surrounding the well
Euglish hotel, ihe Itetna Christina,
and though it was the lut of inr??
wo had to sleep under blankets,
which has been necessary throughout
our trip In Southern Spain. Friday
we went to Honda, an old Moorish
fortress, In the niidst of the
mountaiuR, with a most magnificent
view. Part of the journey upwards
was through the cork-woods. Most
of the way the fields are filled with
olive trees, wheat aud barley occupying
occasional stretches. The wheat
In most instances was very good,
some of It, exceedingly fine. After
a night at Honda and a walk through
the old Moorish town to the cathedral
we started for Granada Sunday

The State department is marxing

that promises little change for some

Nothing had been .earned at the

tangle involving the two countries.
Some interest was attached to the
fact of the ordering the Marietta
from Curacoa to C.uantanamo. No
Instructions were given for the return
of the vessel to Venezuela. The
reason given was that, there was no
further use of the gunboat to ploy
between Porto Cabello and VVillein3tad.

Criminal AknaIInms and LoUow Prisoners
Seized by Crowd While on
Way to Mup, Ui.
Just at sundown Saturday afternoon
two negroes were lynched by
a mob of at least 1.000 persons. The
lynching occurred on the eastern outskirts
of Waycross, (Ja .The negroes
were Walter Walklns and Albert
Ouker, who were brought there that
morning from Wayne county, one
of them charged with outraging the
14-year-old da tighter of Mr. Wilev
Wuinwrlght Thursday evening. The
nog rot* 8 wore lodged in the Ware
county jail during the day and late
Saturday afternoon were taken out
by Wayne county officers for the
purpose of carryiug thoin to Jesup
for safe keeping. Suddenly a rush
was made and a dozen hands clasped
each officer and his gun. The negroes
were jerked across the railroad
track and 100 persons pounced
upou them, others still holding the
guards. Through the wire fence of
the railroad the mob shoved the negroes
and then started at a run
across College Hill. For nearly hall
a mile they continued to the first
oak tree in the old Cherokee nursery.
Here an attempt way made to break
the handcuffs which held the negroes
together, but. without avail. No one
had a rope but a heavy trace chain
which was locked around one of the
negroes was broken apart and a loop
was soon made around his neck
Some one mounted the tree and from
the first limb caught the end of the
chain, tying it around the limb, while
others held the alleged assailant up
from the ground. He was then turned
loose, his feet about two feet from
the ground. The other negro, still
handcuffed to the body of the hanging
man. stood with hands clasped
around the tree. The mob stepping
back about 10 paces oj>ened Are
upon the mcu. hundreds of shots being
fired into the bodies. Many tried
to prevent the killing of the negro
who was clasping the tree, there being
much doubt, about his connection
with the outrage. Nothing
could be done with t he enraged
mob. After lynchiug the mob dispersed.
Tho outrage occurred near the
home of Wiley Wainwright Thursday
evening. Tho girl hud left the
house for the cow pen when she was
attacked by the negro. She w'aa
taken to the woods nearby, her
j screams failing to attrack any one of
the house. Here it is said two other
negroes joined the first.
It was 11 o'clock at night before
Mr. Wainwright, accompanied by
neighbors, found her. She was terribly
bruised and mutilated. The
negro Albert Baker was arrested
Friday morning and carried before
the girl for identification. He was
with several other negroes at the
time and she readily pointed him
out.
