Trouble is Outcome of Pier Laborers' Strike. English Speaking Negroes Seem the Special Object of Attack. One Native and One British Subjuct Have Been Killed. GOVERNOR GENERAL. DAVIS TEL EGRAPHS WAR DEPARTME5NT THAT THE CIVIL DISORDER IS BEYOND CONTROL OF THE MU NICIPAL -T-tiORITIES. "Washington, April 9. The war de partment today received the following cablegram, from Governor General Da vis, Porto Rico: 'San Juan, April' 9. Civil disorder here beyond control of municipal po lice, thereby forcing the use of troops to preserve order. Have placed, an of ficer of the army in charge of the po lice of San. Juan. The trouble has been principally caused by the assaults of natives upon resident negroes from neighboring islands. One native and one British subject lhave 'been killed." The trouble, which began last week and has been growing more threatening daily, is the outcome of the $ier labor ers' strike. The English isl-nders are charged with attempting to crowd out the Porto Ricfan workmen. The wrath of the rioters has been directed especial- y toward English speaking negroes wherever they find them in the city. Martial law to a limited extent nas been in force in San Juan since 'last Fri day, but not till yesterday did the mili tary take full charge of the police super vision of the city. The British consul has demanded protection for the sub- ecte of Great Britain in the Porto Rican city. TRIAL OF THREE BRUTES WHO ASSAULTED A GIRL One Turns States Evidence But Does n't Tell Much.

John and Harvey Jackson were put on trial today and the court room was packed. Tom Steen turned state's evidence.but on cross-examina-on he admitted that he had done so at the suggestion of the two men on trial. He did not tell much that was injuri ous.

Telegrams from South Africa not record any move menlt of importance, hut what is happening- on the British sidfe may he in ferred from a brief despatch report-tag- activity. Tlhe 'Morning- Post's cor respondent at Bloemfontein, for in stance, telegraphed under date of Sunday, that the movement of troops continues with bewildering- frequency, brigades and divisions appearing- and disappearing at brief intervals.. No specific (accounts of such movements are allowed to be telegraphed . BOER ACTIVITY. London, April 9. The amazing ac tivity of the Boers to the southeast and southwest of Bloemfontein con tinues, 'the Bber commands seemingly coming and going through a wide re gion as they please, but taking care not to throw themselves against strong bodies of the British. Telegraphic and rail communication with Bloemfontein is kept up as usual, but nothing comes through for public consumption. Roberts' last message was dated April 6. The absence of news, as usual, disheartens the people and produces altoge-ner a discouraging eect. The last unofficial message notes that good spirits at Bloemfontein are continuing and tells of the arrival of animals and two fresh cavalry reg jments. Rober'ts has now 15,000 mount. ed' men. In Orange Free State the situation is complex, with scanty material for forming a correct estimate of the sit uation, and the afternoon newspapers, not being in tihe confidence of the man agers, are criticising the conduct of affairs. The St. James Gazette, in re viewing the situation, says: "As a consequence of the foolish, sporting, boyish estimate of the war, Buller is aoichored indefinitely, as he must wait for transports until Roberts is ade quately supplied." THE PRESIDENT INVITED - TO VISIT THIS STATE Tells Senator Pritchard He Will At tend Mecklenburg Celebration if Possible. Special to the Gazette. Washington, D. C, April 9.

At the opening- session of the senate the hill for the government of Hawaii, as passed by the house, was presented, and at the request of Mr. Cullom was ordered printed. A resolution respecting- the seating of Former Senator Quay was laid be fore the senate, and Mr. Chandler an nounced that the friends of Mr. Quay were ready for a vote. In ac cordance with a suggestion made by Mr. McComas, Mr. Chandler asked that a vote be taken-on Saturday.

A serious conflict is brewing between the nation al 'republican convention committee and auarrelsome local politicians who are intrusted, with the arrangement for the convention to be held here in June. Broken promises and bad faith have caused bitter words, and it is said 'that of the members of the national com mittee ihad known one month ago what is only too apparent now, the conven tion would never have come to Phila delphia. Nominally it is a question of money, but the trouble has a source in Quay's ineffectual efforts to sret a seat in the United States senate. Tne finance comrmittee proposes to hold hack the remaining $25,000 of the $100,000 guar antee to pay for the exnenses of alter ing convention hall. This meets with vigorous opposition from the national committee. Senator Hanna demands the money but the finance committee pays mo attention to him. Local committeemen call attention to the fact that the $100,000 pledge was made by young republicans and trades leagues, made without authority and ftiat it is not binding upon the present committee. Hanna s reply is that t e promise was made by Philadelphia's whOppeared before the national com mitted and lured the convention away from Chicago, and that the trades jSagif was represented t'o include 4.Cj firms of the city who would have no trouble in raising the $100,000.

DEFINITELY SETTLED That Peabody Normal College Summer Semester Will be Held Here. Will be Particularly Valua ble for Asheville. To be Made a Permanent Institu tion. The Meeting Last Evening Was Most Enthusiastic. PEABODY NOKu.L, ASHEVILLE SUMMER SCHOOL AND CONSERV ATORY AND BOSTON SCHOOL OF EXPRESSION THIS SUMMER MARK ASHEVILLE AS AN EDU CATIONAL CENTER. Peabody Normal summer sessions will henceforth be heldi in Asheville. This may be announced as the result of a meeting of the board of trade and citizens at the Asheville college last evening and the representatives of the Peabody Normal college of Nashville, Tenn. Professors Bourland and Hunt ington of the Peabody Normal, Pres ident Nichols of the board of trade, President Jones of the Asheville col- ege, Superintendent Eggleston Attor ney Frank Carter and others made short addresses, setting forth the ma ture of the work proposed to be done by the school in its summer session, the conditions upon whicn its removal couM be expected and the alvantages to accrue to the" community in the event of its coming. It happened that -there were mumer- ouis meetings in the city (last evening and the meeting at 'the college was not as largely attended as .tihe importance of the subject deserved. However, as the magnitude of the work and litis vast significance for the city of AeheviHe be came evident in the frank, earnest, lucid statments of Prof. Bourland, the small company present were fairly set on fire with enthusiasm, of which article it may be said there was developed enough before the close of the occasior to fill 'the hall, and, as the sequel wJUl doubtless show, the whole commumity also, for every one present will certain ly paiss ft on to his neighbors. The eize of the audience is .not at all an indica tion of indifference on the part of the people. That they are not indifferent i- attested! by the fact that there has been prompt and hearty co-operatfcn in the raising of the necessary guarantee fund. Prof. Bourland told briefly of the gif ' of the London banker, George Peabody,, of $2,00,000 to the cause of educitton In tJhe Souih, of the irocalculable benefit which has ensued therefrom. He then spoke of the establishment the Pea body Normal' at Nas&ville, of its growth and widespread educational influence; ot the need of a summer session to meet the' demands of students for an extend ed course and of teachers (for Work dur ing-their vacation. He stated that such a session could not be held in Nashville, the heat preventing, and that Asheville, so well aaiii favorably known all over the South as a delightful summer resort, was thought of in this connection early m the -consideration of the subject. H explained that the normal proposed to do work of the sanne grade and charac ter here as in their NashviFle sessions that the summer work is to be an inte gral part of the work leading to gradu ation. He further stated, that it was the purpose of the faculty to provide a course of lectures on popular topics by eminent lecturers. Prof. Huntington expressed .he ap preciation of himself and comrade of the heaTty reception whkJh had been ac corded ithem in Asheville and confirmed what Prof. Bourland had stated of the value of the proposed courses. President J. A. Nichols, in a forcible statement, expressed his approval of the plan. He thinks no other proposition 'of equal importance has come before the board of trade; that it will bring imme diate monetary Teturn far in excess of anything asked, and it wfll grow tp pro portions beyond those tat present antici pated.
