London, July 25.?A private , letter received here today from a war correspondent at Manila and dated June 17th, savs : "There ^ seems to be no end of the war in sight. The censorship is constantly becoming more troublesome. Gen. Otis recently established a rule that any matter relating to the navy must be taken to the 1 commander of the fleet for his ' approval and afterward submitted to the military censor, thus adding to our difficulties. For some reason which the censor would not explain, Gen. Otis refused to allow us to send the death of the Monadnock's captain (Nichols) for two days after its occurrence. The general also refused to allow us to send news of the disappear ance of Uapt. Rockefeller (April 2S) on (he ground that it would worry his family, or the killing of Capt. Tilley, of the signal < corps, until the next day. The correspondents are all very tired of this arrangement, which simply means that they must go out and run large chances of getting shot several times a w.eek with no chance of making reputations, because their stories must always reflect Otis' view. "It is impossible to write the truth about the situation. The resources and lighting qualities of the natives are quite misunderstood by the American papers and we cannot write the facts without being accused of treason; nor can we tell of the practically like of the war among ihe American troops. The volunteers, or at least a portion of them, were at one time on the verge of mutiny, and unless Gen. Otis had begun sending them homewards there would have been sensational developments. "We have been absolutely refused all hospital figures." imOLGHT TO ATLANTA. Mob Held Up Train at Newman and Searched For Him. Atlanta, Ga., .July ?Sheriff Reeves, of I'ike county, Alabama, placed Albert Wright, one of the Negroes accused of assault ing Mrs. Ogletree, in jail here this afternoon. The sherifF states that when the train passed through Newnan, a mob of armed men boarded it and demanded that the prisoner be turned over to them. Wright had been concealed in the bag gage car, however, before New nan was reached and after making what they thought to be a thorough search of the train the wohld-be lynchers permitted the train to pull out, thinking the Negro was not aboard. The Negro denies his guilt, but Sheriff Reeves states that he has been id en titled by Mrs. Ogletree. Hicklin's Dots. Our community was blessed with a shower last night and another to-day. We have been very dry since our crops were planted. Cotton crops are looking very well considering the long dry spell. Old corn is very poor except bottom lands which looks very promising ; we only need a wet spell to get a grin on the farmers. Mrs. W. B. Sapp who has been visiting relatives and friends in Lancaster and Kershaw has returned home accompanied bv her sist?>r, Mrs. Emma Fincher, who reports fine corn crops in her travels. Miss Gurrie Garton" returned home Sunday evening after spending a week with her cousin, Mrs. J. I'. Garton. J We have two candidates in the ^ lieMjboth are running for the same ^ office,?one in York county the other in Chester county, and we hope they will not get left. Mr. W. B. Sapp will leave one lay this or the first of next week to visit relatives and friends in ' Lancaster. Plow Boy. Hicklin's, July 20, 1899. Troons Move In Alabama Birmingham, Ala., July 2fi.?
