IYengeanco for tU deod. he wai frightened. Ho
managed to smugglo amcssonircrout of tho jail
with this messiigo for the Governor:
" Mob attnekfd Jail. Oponod flro. Throe killed.
Mr force U Inadequate, Send tuslstanco at
All night long tho crowds stared nbout tho
jntl. cursing tho militia, nnd doubly cursing the
wretched negto, who towered In tho security of
Ida coll In abject fright. Aa dawn enmo men and
women lieEmn to romo In from tho aiirroundlnK
country, for tho news had spread like wildfire.
From tlmo to tlino It seemed apparent that an
other attack waa about to bo made on tho jail.
Mayor Unnson and somo of tho inoro prominent
citizens took turns In addressing tho mob, coun
selling moderation nnd urging that tho lnw bo
upheld. Tho temper of tho crowd was aullen,
and their words fell upon deaf ears, although
further nttempt nt rlolcnco was delayed.
At 7:30 o'clock a small boy enmo rushing
brcSithlcssly Into tho thick of tho crowd.
" Tho soldiers aro coming from tho train! ho
The crowd gnvo a mighty shout nndsurgod
toward tho station. Comlnic down tho street in
stsady columns, with tho sunlight gleaming on
tho baioiutH. were tho thirty men of Company
11 or Springfield, i 'apt. Hrudbiiry In command,
sent in rcsponso to tlio ShorllT'n roquost.
Tlic soldiers marched straight Into tho crowds,
numbering now over 'J.OOO men. Tho slttia
tlon was critical. Tho mob dldn t glvo
way. but closed about tho soldiers threaten
ingly. Capt. llradhury was In n quandary.
lli saw that tho slightest force on tho
fN part uf the militia would bring about u dreadful
ffi conflict. Women forced their way through tho
P, mcucloso up to tbo soldiers, mid pelted them
I with mud and stones. Missiles come 11 lug from
housetops. Tho croud Joorcd and taunted, and
tho soldiers bogan to look ugly. Mayor Oanson
ran uptoCapt. Hrndbury. .... .
" For (loci's anko go back, or I w on t be rcponil
ble for tho consequences 1" ho cried.
Cant. llrndbury wavered, then gave tho com
mand to retire. Tho soldiers wboelod and
marched back to tho station and tooK a train for
Hprlngllcld. .,
In arranging to roeclvo tho .Springfield militia
men HhcrlfT Mct'laln had sent the Urhnna
guardsmen up-dnlis In the Jail, tho plan being
to place ihe Springllcld men In tho lower corri
dors of tlio Jail. When Company It wont back
to Hprlngllcld It loft tho loner coll block ot tho
jail, In which tho prisoner was, unprotected.
Several of the lending i HI tens of I'rbana ad
dressed tho crowd Irom the courthouso steps
again, edv lslng tho people to penult the negro
to bo taken to Columbus to servo out his sen
tence Tho speeches wcro no sooner finished
than tliorinwd iniiilo break for tlio Jail. Tho
Urbana Ounrds In the upper story or tho court
houso hd r.taiked their arms, and wbon tlio
crowdcoino on llui milltliiiiien wntebed Ihous
ault and mndo no effort to stay tho progress of
the mob.
It was an cusyilctory for tlio crowd. Tliey
broke Into tlio jail, swarmeil up tlio stairs,
mashed the coil door w hero Mlteholl was con
fined and driiRgeil tho trembling wretch nut Into
tho light uf il.iy by n ropu about his neck.
CursoT, beaten, kicked, with his clothes half
torn friiiu his I oi by the frantic mob. the negro
fought with Iheiiisperatlon of u mailmnp. llh
tlio ropo aliout his neck, he struggled to tierccly
that no fewer than sulci uicii went down leforo
his blows.
It was worse Ihnn thn old Indian gauntlet
running, for there wim suro doith nt tho ind.
wtthoul even the shadow or a chance that tho
X red limn gnvo tlielr victims. The wretched
" ncirmw.iK ilr.iggod between solid rows of lntu-
friateil men nnd women, who fought ononnotlior
lnthctr etrorti to reiuh him. They struik at
a tho nretih. sp.it upon hli IT kicked lit lit. torn
fe, pierce? nt liesh from his hotly lu grabbing Ills
f- clothes, nnd ono fellow stepped out Irom tho
v; croud nnd dealt him a territlc blow on the head
Swltlui hammer. "Don't kill him until wo hang
him I" cried the others In mllrt reproof.
At last the tiee wns reached nnd tho ropo
slungoier u branch twenty-five foot high. A
doTcn pairs of hands rasped tho ropo and
jerkod the negro, now linlf unconscious, high up
In tho iilr. They pulled so viciously that tho
v retch's hca.t struck ugitln and again the limb
from which lie hung. Wood spurted from ills
mouth, curs, nnd nostrils, and It Is as likely that
ho wns killed hv hdiiiig his brains kuockod out
ugainst tbu branch ns by banning.
Fiio thousand persons watched tho lynching
end ehiercd It on. Jinny women were in tho
crowd, and somoof them edged their way cloio
, up to tlio tree. When there was no longer any

negro, thn froo end of tho ropo was tied to tlio

Wahhinoton, Juno 4, Tho certainty of action
In tho Cuban matter, following tho return
of Commissioner Calhoun from Havana,
hns brought forth a number ot sugges
tions, which liavo been placed before tho
Administration, looking to tlio establish
ment of peace on tho Island. Accord
ing to friends of Secretary Sherman, ho
Is In favor ot urging tho Cubans to accept over
tures from Spain. Ito believes thnt tho Madrid
Government Is willing to bo very liberal in Its
concessions, which, of courso, will not extend
furthor than homo rule, and it is asserted by
pcoplo with whom ho has tnlkod that he con
siders It unwtso for tho Cubans to insist
on absolute indepondenco, whon reforms guar
nntood by Spain aro of a character to permit tho
Cubans, whllo still acknowledging allcglanco to
tho Queen Itogcnt, to bo practically tmhnm
porod In tho conduct of their own affairs. A
number of stories ot this sort, aro In circulation
here, but Secretary Sherman will not talk for
publication, nnd It Is said that ho has denied
some of tho vlows attributed to him concerning
the Cuban situation.
Tho nssortlon has been mado by persons who
clnlm to havo heard Mr. Shorman express his
Ideas about bringing poaro to tho Island that the
Secretary wants tho war to end spoodlly, and Is
favorablo to nnyot tho sovcral schemes proposed
by the Spanish Government thnt will meet tho
approval of tho tnsurgont authorities. All theso
recent peace proposals aro of tho same general
tenor. Tho most rccont proposition from Spain,
which Mr, Sherman Is understood to bo study
ing, provides for n legislative body for tho
Collins, to bo scloctod dlroctly by the
pcoplo nnd by Incorporated bodlos in tho
Island that havo cstnbllshod a reputation for
conservatism. The direct representation in this
Legislature Is to bo larger than tho conservative
element.
Hut Mr. Sherman's conduct of tho State De
partment is more concerned with tho relations
of tho Inlted States nnd foreign countries
other than Spain. Ho has turned over thu
mora cumbersome nnd critical Cuban ques
tion to Assistant Secretary Dn. who con
fers directly Willi President Melvinley mid
hindlos all tho correspondence relating to tho
situation. It Is to Juitgo Dnv that Ihe forma
tion or n policy by the Administration has
been Intrusted by tho President. Ho Is
devoting his entire time to studying
existing conditions and tho various poaro
and reform measures suggested, n laborious
duty which Mr. Sherman could not perform
with any satisfaction to himself and ntiond at
tho ssnio tlmo to tho innny other perplexing
questions that are being constantly placed be
fore him.
Judge Day will not glvo any Information
nbout tbo attitude of tho Admlnlstritlnn, nor
discuss tho probability of speedy action. Ho
declined to-dny to say anything ubotit thn
latest proposals snld to have been made by
Spain to this Government for bringing
about poarc. It is icrtnln. however,
that President McKlnloy doos not intend to net
until ho hns heard ail that Mr. Calhoun has to
tell about what ho saw and heard In
Cuba. His reports will undoubtedly liavo
more to do with bringing matters to
a climax, as fnr as this Government
Is concerned, than any Information now at hand.
It wns said ut the State Department to-day that
Mr. Calhoun would come to Washington, with
out delay when ho lands in Xew York on
Sunday.
Tho appointment of Judge Pcnfleld of Indiana
as Solicitor of tho State Department has somo
bearing on the Cubau situation. In that ho wns I
scliietod to assist Judge Day In thcronslderatlon
of the nisss of documentary evidonec now In tho
possession of the department dealing with the
conditions In the devastnted Island. He will
take n prominent part lu tho conference which
will precede action by President McKlnloy.

Wahiunoton, June 4. It Is tho opinion of the
Presldunt and his Cabinet na expressed nt tho

Mercedes was Justified in tiring on the Ward

American flag. The Captain of the cruiser, it wns
argued, net oil in nceordnneo with international

Santiago do Cuba, in which he says that tho
commander of tho Valencia had filed with him
a completo report of tlio Incident, showing that
two shots were tired on the steamer, tho
first a blank ono to warn her to como
to, and tho second ft solid projectilo, which
struck dangerously close to the storn of tho
steamer and tossed up tho water at a lively rate.
Tho Captain contends that there was no neces
sity for placing his vessel and tho lives of thoso
on board In danger by tho last shot. Tho Consul
has been directed to forward full dotalls, with
the Captain's statement, and theso aro oxnoctod
to reach tho department In n tew days. Xo ac
tion will bo taken until the Consul's report nnd
n statement now on its way to tho Spanish Min
ister hnvo been rccolvod.
From tho mossago rccolvod from tho Consul,
Mr, Adco, tho Second Assistant Secretary of
State bolloves that tho Valencia was clearly
within tho jurisdiction of Spanish waters, but
he does not admit that this excuses the gunlioat
fnr using solid shot in causing tho ship to show
her ling. He an) s that there Is n difference from
nn International lnw standpoint In tho enso
of tho Alllanca, fired on two years ago whllo
rounding tho extreme end of Cuba, nnd that of
tho Valencia. Tho Alllanca was beyond tho
throe-mllo limit nnd the Valencia in a bay,
which will probably be ndmlttcd to bo a "closed
sea" and under Spanish authority. Mr. Adoe
doubts, however, whether there was any excuso
for the useof Bolld shot In tho Vnloncla affair,
especially It it Is shown that tho ship was endangered.

Londo.v, Juno 4. Whllo Mr. Labouchero was
on his way to Westminster Hall this afternoon
to attend tho sitting of tho Parliamentary South
African Committee, of which ho is a member, ho
was set upon by a young man brandishing a
horsewhip. Tho young man was checked by
bystanders, and Mr. Labouchero, in the confu
sion, walked away.
Mr. Iibouchcro afterword gavo tho following
account of the affair:
" I had Just left my houso to go to the Houso
of Commons when I suddenly becamo awaro
that nn excltablo young man was flourishing a
n hip nt a discreet distance from me. I said to
him:
" ' Who tho deuce are you r
Ills answer was:
"'I am tho son of the much-Injured Dr.
Drooks, and I mean to thrash and kill you.' I
replied:
" ' Don't bo a fool or I will call that police
man.' "He then said In a pathetic, though Incoherent,
manner something about his mother. I replied
thnt I was sorry for his mother, whereupon tho
mild young man walked alongbido of me dis
cussing the injured llrooks."
Tho action of young iirooks is the outcome of
the unsuccessful libel suit brought against Mr.
Lnboucherc last winter by tbo Hev. Ueorge
llrooks, formcly n Methodist parson, to whom
Mr. Labouchero had referred in Truth as the
" King of Pegging Letter Writers " in a number
of articles denouncing him as an impostor and
exposing his schemes to get monev. It was
shown In tho evidence taken In the trial of the
suit before the high Court of Justice that within
five years Brooks had obtained $4P,,(K)0 through
his distribution of begging letters nnd that,
while representing himself ns n broken-down,
deserving man of letters, plunged In tho deepest
distress, he was keeping up country houses,
with servants and horses and carriages.

Treasury, to recommend him to the Queen as

London, Juno 4. The Inquiry of the Parlia

utterly failed to disclose tho mysterious tele

group In London and Premier Cecil Hhodes in

nsked, tend to uphold tho Interests of her
Majesty's service or the reputation of the coun
try I There were some things, he said, which
were beyond cvci party spirit.
It is expected that the report of the committee

up tho household. Mrs. Churchill Is of iicnom B
j disposition, clinging to homo and hiislnnd nnd H
I children, nnd fearful of unwonted disturbances, H
Tho Churchill placets fenced In. Within tin H
fence lino aro tho houso and scleral small oat- H
buildings, and the trees which overshadow all. B
All the buildings on the knoll screened hy the H-
trccs aro low, nnd at a llttlo distance nre almost I;
hidden by tho foliage. Tho neighbors hesltat V
to describes tho place as a house. A woman ot B
whomlhorcportcrlnquired where the ChurrhlHi H
lived replied as she pointed to the knoll a qu&r- B
tcrofn mile away: H
"In thathouso" shecorrectod herself- "that, H'
whatever you may call it, that red building H
among tho trees." H
It was at tho door of tbo red-cottage, under W:
tho umbrageous canopy over the knoll, that Mr, fm
Churchill stood, contemplatively, jut nt dulc '
on Thursday evening when he heard the hateful 9 , j-
snore that a few moments later fatally i
shocked his child. The family were about tuVE
to turn In for the night, for the are riiW
obliged to get up early, tn order that Mr. oT
Churchill mny follow his calling, and Mr! It
Churchill had just como out to sec what 'In Mi
night Indications were as to tho morning's
weather. The nolso he heard was so little nks I
a sound mado by a human being, thnt he thought I
a dog In pain was in tho shrubbery that I
grows behind a small woodshed, where In I
summer the cooking Is done. The hushes corns I
up over tbo fence, and ho went outside the in- H
closure to rout out tho distressed dog, no! only
that it might not disturb tho famil dur- A ,
ing the night, bnt so tbat 1 rhould mi
not scaro his wlfo when at 3 oilcxk MV
in the morning sho went to the kitchen to Jm
cook his breakfast. Ho knew that she would be I
frightened at such a sound in the early mo-n'ni:. H
But there was no dog in tho brush, nnd he- soon 9
satisfied himself that tho sounds came from the
shed and that t bey must bo the snore-, of a man m
In a drunken stupor. He tried tho door n-iinilr. H
It was braced on the Inside. He fastened It da KV
the obtside and called his son to go for a police- JTA-
man while he kept watch over the snoring in- A 'ii
truder. m Jf
Mrs. Churchill came out of the house totes ZVt
what her husband was about and brought Anna bJV
with her. Vm
" I didn't want to leave my baby," she said H
yesterday, "and besides, she wouldn't stay In B
the bouse alone nt twilight." H
The child toddled cheerily nlong by her
mother s side, holding her hand, ns thev rains H
down from the house. All dny she bad been
particularly happy and cheerful. A few feet H
away from the shod she hc.ird the bel-
lowing snores coming out of tho gloom H
In the yanl where she w-as accus- Hi
tomed to see only her father, mother, or H
brother, and to hear only their voices. Ths H .
snoring was, according to the description given H
by the pnrents. something the like of which tha H
three-year-old girl had never heard. At the H
moment sho heard it she turned toward H
the shed, stared, threw up her hands, and
raising her eyr to the tree tops began to trem- HI
ble. twitched briefly, nnd went Into convulsions w
from which she never emerged. Then she fell, t&
muttered a little but could not talk, and she did Jf "
not snenlf a word. nnrdlH .tin ,-?.. w.nea...M ae'lA
ness before death, which came eighteen boors ffjr
afterward, at a :30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. fjW
Dr. l . S. Tromer. -who has been tho family H
pbysiclan for twelve years, was sent for, and H
saw thochild at first about 10 o'clock. Tho con-
vuislons subsided somewhat after bis call and
the night was not a bad one for the patient, but H
j cstcrday morning the convulsions came on vte- H
lently again ond continued while life lasted. H
" The convulsions were induced by congestion M
of the brain," Dr. Tromer said yesterday, "and m
the congestion was causod by the fright which
the child got when she heard the snoring. Ire-
fuedtoslgn a death certificate, and reported
the case to the police in order that the Coroner
uiight pass upon It. I did not care to
have the death certificate returned from tho H
Hoard of Health, and the funeral stopped be-
ciuseofthe peculiar circumstances which would I
have lieen set forth in the certificate. The child 1
was none the less frightened to death bv a man's H
snoring, because death did not ensue forelghteen 9
hours nfter tie fright. The child's nervous sys- fl
tern was not strong, but she was of normal a
health Death in such a way is very unusual,
but cases are recorded." 'ft
The Doctor's attitude was a cause of surprise TC.
to the police of the Twenty-sixth precinct JFc,
of Hrooklyn when he visited the station 1 i
house to make his report about 3 o'clock JE L
in the afternoon. They had arrested ths ilis
drunken man who was the cause of B
their being summoned to the marshes 1
on the night before. He told them that he was I
Il'i"1 Mason, as years old. a printer, living at S
4 Hiilngton street, this city, and yesterday
morning he was arraigned before Justice Watts !L
on a charge of intoxication and sentenced to jail
for ten days.
Dr. Fromer asked: "Is it a natural death 1
when a man snores and frightens a child into 1
convulsions and she dies eighteen hours after- 1
wnrd I Of course the death was natural, vou I
might say, but suppose the man had shot her 1
and she died the next day I A man might I
shoot nt you ond miss you and you die eighteen
hours afterward. What would the Coroner sai I
If a great Hon. a fearful beast, suddenly ap
peared tn that chair and you were so frtghtenel
1! looking at It that you couldn't speak, an! -
died eighteen hours afterward, wouldn't vou be '
frightened Ito death! A person greatly affected ,
nt any sudden appearance and not recovering
therefrom Is said to dlo of shock."
The doctor was clear lu his own mind as to
his course, and refused to sign a death certifl-
cate, but up to evening the Coroner had not 4
reached the Churcnllls' house. ,
