This effectually disposes of the reports that
K Admiral Kautr was recalled. The date Is
B antecedent to the publication of the alleged
H objectlonal 'utters and also to the receipt of

There la some uncertainty as to whether the

Bt i tlon to the Navy Department that he believes

Dallas, Tox , May 20. The developments In
the triple lynching of tho Hutrpiroys. father
and two sons. In Henderson county on Wed
nesday night stamp tho orlme as one of tho
most cruel In tho history of Texas The victims
of tho mob wern not killed for being crim
inals. They wero simply suspected of having
knowledge of crimes committed nnd of be
ing undeslrnblo residents In thn community
whero they were executed, without tho benefit
of n trial oran opportunity to dlsposo of tholr
bolonglngs and get away. The worst thing
everbrought against the men Ivnehodwasnn
Indictment against tho two brothers charging
them with hog stealing, but the offence
was not fastened on them They wore
out on bond and were awaiting trial. Against
James Humphrey, tho father, absolutely no
charge of erlmo was pending.
This nbovo statement wns made to The St'N
conespondent this evening bv Sheriff Richard
son nt Athens, tho county sent of Henderson
county. During tho conversation Sheriff Hen

"I shall Invoke all the aid my county and the

of at any time '1 ho thrco Humph revs had

that tho Humphreys wore harboring him and

Washington. May 20 The gallant and
meritorious services performed by a young
naval officer in the lnnd campaign against tho

advanced ten numbers in his present grade.
The ofTtcer so highly complimented is Junior
Lieut. Cleland Davis of the gunboat Helena.
Lieut. Davis was sent ashore by Admiral
Dowey In command of a machine gun detach
ment for service with Maior-Gen. MacArthur's
division. He was vvitti thn advance of Mac
Arthur's column in all tho bird fight lug from
Calooian to San Pernando. nnd his guns
proved of great assistance to tho light bat
teries of the arm j . . . . .
Shortly before the war with Spain began
Liout. Davis was detached from bis duties In
the llurcau ot Ordnance and assigned to the
Hnlena He started "n that vessel for the
Asiatic station by the European route and re
turned in hcrto the West Indies when hostili
ties with the Spanish commenced. After
sen Inc through the naval campaign in Cuban
waters, thu Helena was diiected to resume her
voyugo to Asia. Slio was built specially for
service In the shallow rlvpis of Chlnn, but
owing to the requests of Admiral Dewey for
light-draught vessels, ho has kept her In the
Philippines evcrslnco her arrival at Manila

dan This will delay tho departure ot tho
Nineteenth Infantry, as it was first Intended
that that regiment should leave on the bherl

Meade at Ponce. Porto P.ieo. it was Impossible
for the Nineteenth Infantry to reach this coun

that it would create a place whore the good
judgment of Admiral Dewey can tie utilised by

has no Idea of what duties Admlrnl Dowey will
perform whon he comes to Wnslilngton, His

C. J. Bonaparte of Ilaltlmnre Declines to
Support the Antl-ImjirrlnlUts.
Boston. May 20.-Charlc J. Bonaparte of
Baltimore, who wa recently nlected a Vlco-1-rssldent
in the Antl-Imperiallst league ot
this city, has written a letter telling why ho
cannot nceept the place In his letter Mr.
Bonaparte savs he cannot assent to the reso
lutions recently adopted by the league. lie
blames President MeKlrloy for his course In
the Philippines and goes on to say
' I should not, nn at pietent ndvUed. recom
mend negotiations with the revolted 1'lllplnos
or any attempt to organl70 a qutsl-lndopon-dent
government under our sueralntv or pro
tection In the ntchlpelago. If we must own
the Islands In nny sense, or become at all ro
sponsiblo for their pence and good govern
ment, then I think that asv stem of administra
tion modelled substantially upon that of Brit
ish India will be tndlstiensnble to their pros.
ierlty nnd our security, and pomplete sub
mission to our authority on tho t art of the In
habitants Is obviously the first step toward ts
establishment. I may add that while 1 fully
recognbs the injustice nnd evea absurdity of
Hiom charges of Mlalovnltr which hare been
of late freely mado against some members of
tho league, and also thai many honorable and
patriotic men do not feel as 1 do on this sub
ject. I nm pcisonally unwilling to take any
part In an agitation which may hove some
tendoncj to cause a public enemy to persist In
nrmed resistance, or may boat least plausibly
represented as having this tendency. There
can be no doubt that, as a mnttor of fact, the
counto Is at war with Amilnaldo nnd hls.fol
lowers I proroundlv regret this flip. I think Its
causes veiy discreditable to our President and
his omelal ndvieis: but It Is nfnet. neverthe
less, nnd as such must weigh Iu determining
my conduct as a eltlren."
