Castellanos, alias George Eduard Van derbilt, arrested in Tampa, Fla., three months ago as a Spanish spy and since that time imprisoned at Fort McPher son, was given his liberty together with three other suspects to-day. The men quickly separated and Vander bilt, clad in the Cuban uniform which he wore when arrested, came to town. His reception was so demonstrative that he was soon placed in the central police station for safety, where his numerous wounds were dressed. He took his departure under the cover of darkness. On reaching Atlanta, Van derbilt was recognized by a crowd a half dozen drunken, soldiers - They stopped him but hej-ef used to be interviewed. The soldiers decided to take him by force and Vanderbilt took to his heels. This urged the soldiers on, and they were joined by a lot of- citizens who pummelled the fleeing man freely and let fly many stones and sticks. Vanderbilt ran in to a candy factory at the corner of Alabama and Prior streets. A large crowd collected about the store and when the little man appeared at the door with two officers who had been sent for, the cry of "Spanish spy" was set up and it did not take the mob long to add the cry of "kill him," shoot him " "hang him." The noise served t5 bring others into the pro cession which swelled to large propor tions and by the time the police station was reached 2 000 people were at the heels of the officers. IjWhen the station was reached the officers rushed the little fellow into the guard office and the great iron gates were quickly closed to keep the mofeback. Officer ran to the front doors and stood guard at them. V16 turned me out this morn ing," said Vanderbilt excitedly, "and I am not a Spanish spy but an Ameri can citizen and a Cuban general. See I have the stars on my coat sleeves to ahow.my rank in the army." Vanderbilt was bleeding from three or four wounds on his face and throat. One soldier had cut at him with a knife and left a bloody mark on his forehead. Another had grabbed him by the throat and left the print of the fingers. He claims to be a relative of Cornelius Van derbilt, and says his mother is at pres ent in New York. Raleigh, August 6, 1898. W. H. Bernard, Esg., Editor the Morning Star: Dear Sib : In response to your re quest for an account of how the town of Greenville was turned over to the negroes by the Republican-Populist-Fusion Legislature I submit the fol lowing statement of facts : ' The county of Pitt has a population of about thirty thousand people and is one of the finest agricultural counties in the State. ureenvule, its capital town, has a population of about three thousand people and is a growings prosperous' town. A majority of its voters are white men, and if the people were left to select their officers bv any fair or usual method they would be certain to choose competent white men. The town, however, is the home of one of the leading: Republicans of the State, and being 'under obligations to me negroes ne planned to have the town turned over to them. , And here is the way it was done; The fusion Legislature of 1895, adopting- his plan. divided the town into four wards. The boundaries of these wards were so t.Iirnfri and zi crzacrtrprl ns li nut a ma jority of negro voters in the first and third wards, and a majority of white voters in the second and fourth wards The first ward is shaped very much like a large broad-axe, with a very long handle, and the third ward is like the letter V. The next step in this devilish plan was to confer upon each of the wards having a majority of negro voters the right to elect two wuuuuucu ccun, uuu iu resiriui me white wards to one councilman each. At the town election in Mav. 1897. the negroes availed themselves of the power given them by the Republican Fusion Legislature and took charge of the town. They elected four negroes councilmen while the white npnnlp could elect but two? Thnswe had a. Board composed jjfffour negroes and wmte men. xms rsoara elected a white Republican mayor, a white Chief OI DO H'fi. A nPffrn assistant nn. liceman for the day, a negro night policeman for the night, and a negro eierx to me rsoara. The taxable property of the town is near three quarters of a million of dollars. The Board of Councilmen levy the taxes and order the expendi tures. It may be interesting to know how those who levied and spent the taxes ranked as tax payers. One of the negro councilmen paid 84 cents taxes on property, another 63 cents and the other two Nothing. So the four negro councilmen who con irouea ine uoara paid f 1.47 taxes on property for the support of the town the white Republican Mayor paid 43 cents on property and the white Re publican Chief of Police did not do quite so well, he paid only 30 cents. The negro clerk paid nothing and the negro night watchman nothing. The negro assistant policeman paid $5.75. lhe nine men who 1mh(nJ ih town, levy its taxes and spend the money paid all together $7.75 and leaving out the assistant negro day pe pliceman. the other eicht The revenues of the town for the year irom may, iv, to May, 1898, was about $5,500, of which about $2,800 went to pay salaries and fees of office or place holders. Th whi lcan mayor and the white Republican chief of police were both indicted at September texjn, 1897, of Pitt Superior vruinur jamming. ney contessed their guilt in open court at Januarv term, 1898, and were re-elected to the same offices by the negro Board of Councilmen in May, 1898. The mayor ujw since resigned to enter the Inter nal Revenue Service and a better man, a ropuust, has been elected in his place, but the town is still in the control of the negroes, as they again elected four negro councilmen at the iown election this year and these ne gro councilmen have in turn elected the same number of negro fficials witn one exception; xuere are numerous instances in U - 1. A L "Tr . -. . vvmuu iwns nave been divided up into wards to keep the towns out of ihj,iuo uj me negroes, Dut this is the first instance, of which I have any knowledge, where white men deliber ately divided up a- town into wards for the purpose of turning it over to he negroes. For one to properly appreciate the 7 , . . nuugs m vjrreenvnie it is necessary for him to go there and see for himself. But for the forbearance of the white people, trouble might uave come long ago. They have fully determined to be patient and forbear ing and to appeal, as they are now uomg, to their white brethren through out the State to send men to the next Legislature who will undo this great wrong ana wipe out that infamous act Thos.

By Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York, August 20. Hundreds of thousands of people along the banks of the Hudson and thousands on all styles of river craft blended thefr shouts in a royal welcome to the re turned North Atlantic squadron under command of Bear Admiral Sampson, and as fine an August day as could be desired was Nature's trihute to the" re turn of the victors. For almost three hours steam whistles of all sizes, steam sirens and small guns along the shores shrieked and boomed in the effort to display the heartfelt enthusiasm for the home coming of the naval heroes with their battle-scarred ships. Early in the morning the seven big ships the New York, Iowa, Indiana, Brooklyn, Massachusetts, Oregon and Texas lay in New York bay just off Tompkinsville, S..I. There was no idea with Admiral Sampson that New York was prepared for a rousing re ception, but the news was brought shortly by a tug from the navy yard and all of the ships of the squadron were immediately put under nreoara- tions for dress parade. By 9 o'clock the big, dull-looking fighting ships, looming high above the picturesque confusion of smaller craft which had come down to get a glimpse of them, wee ready for movement. Strung out aloD s their decks, in long, regular lines, were the white uniformed jackies, with hero and there a blue coated Officer nil (mnalirnnnfi)s1 .wvur WUMOOVI.U against the sombre, lead-colored armor ... . i oi me snips. The Battleships Start When the hour for the start came it looked as if it would be impossible for the great shins-to make their through the perfect jam of river craft. Vessels of all descriptions, from the smallest steam launch to the great ocean liner, were banked around the squadron. Cheers and shouts of wel come rose from every deck, and the boats' whistles all joined in the shouts of welcome." Suddenly there was a movement on the flagship New York and the big vessel started forward with a slow, stately glide. She was immediatelv followed hv thn ntKoi. air ships in the following order: Iowa, Indiana, Brooklyn. Massachusetts, Oreeon and Texas.

Little Rock, Ark., August 20. Six persons lost their lives to-day by the burning of the National and Wind sor hotels at Hot Springs, Ark. Five bodies of persons that had been burned were recovered from the ruins. John 5S? f18' of Indian Territory, was killed by Jumping frata a hotel win dow. Only two other bodies have been identified; their names being j l.atthews' of Greenville, Miss., and WV Hells, residence unknown. Not until after the coroner's inquest can the names of the other dead be learned. A number of persons were injured by jumping from the hotel windows. In addition to the two hotels, a" cottage belonging to Ool. O'Brien and the Kentucky livery stable, were burned. The two hotels suffered the destruction of all their contents, but the horses and carriages in the livery stable were taken out safely. The fire started about 2 A. M. in the National hotel and spread rapidly. A number of guests escaped down the stairway, while others jumped from the windows of the second and third stories in their night-clothes, barely getting out with their lives.

The river crafts, crowding the warships close, were jammed with passengers, sinking the sides of the vessels almost to their guard-rails on one side, giving the impression that even the ships themselves bowed in unconscious salute to the returned naval heroes. The width of Hudson river was a struggling, flut tering, darting mass' of color, confusion and cheers. As the vessels moved further un Ik river, the water, which had been calm at the battery, was churned by the action of the hundreds of steamers and waves dashed over the small boats and showers of spray dampened the passengers on the lower decks of the larger steamers. At Gen. Grant's Tomb. For the first time in die parade the battleships drew together. Just at the point of return there was a momentary lull as if expectant of the climax. Sud denly from the sides and turrets of the battleships there was a vivid flash; fol lowing this a tremendous roar, an nouncingthe first gun of the national salute. The heavy smoke curled and tumbled down towards the water and up into the air until the ships had been almost hidden, but the roar, com ing again and again, seemed to rock the waters themselves. It was an im posing spectacle as the big battleships boomed a salute to the nation ; as the warships saluted the final resting place or General Grant, and the guns that sounded the knell of Admiral Cer vera's ships at Santiago boomed a rev erential obeisance to the dead hero. The saljite ended, the return ofthe squadron along the line of review was begun. It-was a repetition of the en thusiastic scenes on the wav un th river. Every whistle that could be brought into use played its part; every bell, everv band joined in honoring the fleet, and above all were the re sounding echoes of the shoutstrfrom on water and on land. The parade of the ships from the time it passed the JaBttery on its way un the river to inn fimo if wcca . T . u IVUIHOCU KJ1X its way to achorage off Tomkinsville, S.
