Chicago Record. THE CHARGE REFUTED. Explains Why Carpenters at Government Yard and Dock Were Suspended. A telegram sent f rdm this city Thurs day to the Raleigh Post, to the effect that white ship-carpenters employed in the United States government yard and dock have been dismissed because they would not work on the day of the riot and leave their homes at the mercy of the negroes, and that their places had been filled by negroes, was a great surprise to Wilmington people. The report had it that the carpenters were dismissed ,by Capt. W. E Craig hill, the United States engineer in charge. He is now at Fort Caswell, but he was informed yesterday of the nature of the special to the Pst. and telegraphed the -following statement in regard to the matter, to wit: . "The pay roll of the men will show that some of those discharged were white and some colored. The whole force of carpenters and helpers was dismissed without discrimination, be cause I thought it best to suspend work for the present upon, the work upon which the men were engaged. Politics had nothing whatever to do with the case. Neither Republicans or any other party is responsible for the action taken. I alone am responsi ble. "It is for the best interests' of the city of Wilmington that the work of improvement of the Cape Fear river should he economically administered. This is particularly important that now when an effort is being made to get the channel depth at twenty feet at low water from the city to the sea. This, it is hoped, can be accomplished with the closest economy with the , money now available. , 1 "The step taken to which exception is made in the Post special was in the interest of I economy and was made necessary for the proper administra tion of the work, which it. is my duty to manage.

Commissioners Will Lay Before the Spaniards Irrevocable Demands. TO BE NO MORE PARLEYING., A Specified TTflfr to he Allowed for Conditions to be Accepted or Refect- ed The Ultimatum Demands Surrender of Enti e Philippines. By cattle to the Morning Star. Paris, Nov. 19. The American peace commissioners to day have been closely engaged in formulating the terms of the important communication to be made to the Spanish commission ers next week. It is impossible at present, however, to determine whether the work will be completed for presentation on Monday or Tues day, though it is believed the Amer icans will be ready on Monday. While the Americans fully appreciate the necessity of making progress, they are also under the necessity of greater care in the preparation of what may possibly be the conclusive record of these negotiations. The Spanish commissioners consumed a" week in the preparation of their last memorandum, but tbe Americaus wiiL not require so loug a time to complete the work in hand. There was no meeting of the joint peace commission to-day. Propose Arbitration. Wasbinoton, Nov. 19. Ttwas not ui) til a late hour last evening that the 1 at paragraphs of the long translation of the Spanish communication which was presented to the American peace commissioners last Wednesday were deciphered at the State Department, atid must of the members of the cabi net were not aware of tbe full contents of the document until to day when they called at the White House. It appeared that in additien to the long argument which was intended to show that the word "disposition" used in relation to the Philippines meant some thing else, the Spanish note did in elude a proposition to submit tbe Philippine clause of the protocol to the interpretation of an arbitrator. Another cablegram followed the first long message, this time directly from Judge Day, seeking instructions definitely on some points to be made in: the American answer which is yet to be prevented. These instructions have been sent forward, and it may be stated without going into details, that they are precisely in line with the policy which the American commis sioners have oeen pursuing up to this point in the negotiations. Other Matters for Consideration. There are several matters of real importance, thoigh not ranking with the Philippine question, to be treated by the commissioners; bttt the instruc uo s to the Amer cans are not to call up these at present or until the main pending issue relative to tbe Philip pities baa been settled, in order to avoid complicating the proceeding. In the event that the commissioners dis agree totally at their next meeting on the Philippines, therefore, there will be no discussion of any of these sub sidiary questions, but in the other event, namely that an agreement shall be reached on the principle of the Philippine disposition, these mat ters may be expected to consume at least one or two additional sessions of the commission. One of these sub jects concerns the restoration of trade relations between the United States nd Spain, as the beginning of the war terminated all of her treaties with the United States, and if the two countries are to get along amicably, even after the declaration of peace. there must be working arrangements in treaty form for the protection of trad interests, the equalisation of tariff charges, the regulation of ex ir anion ana sucn subjects as are usually included in treaties of trade and commerce and amity. So far the commissioners have given no consid eration to these matters in their ex changes. Negotiations Netting an Bad. It is believed that the peace nego tiations a.e nearing an end, and it is considered not improbable that by the -na or the present week ail of the main features of a treaty will have been formally agreed to or the effort to reach an amicable settlement aban doned. With a view to bringing mat ters to a speedy conclusion our commis sioners, by direction of the President. early the coming week, will lay before the Spaniards the hnai and irrevoca ble demands of this country, allowing a specified time in which our condi tions may be accepted or rejected. This ultimatum, it is understood, involves all that has thus far been contended for, concluding the surrender to tbe United States of the entire Philippine group ana also names the amount of cash which this government wiH pay spain in consideration or her expendi tures on account of pacific improve ments and betterments in the island of Luzon.

A FIENDISH MURDER AT GREENVILLE, S. C. A Little White Boy Cruelly Butchered. The Murderer Supposed to Be a U.S. Soldier. By Telegraph to tbe Morning Star. Ooltjmbia. S. C. Nov. 19. A spe cial to the iStotfefrom Green villi, S. C, says: Weaver Smith, a little white boy beggar, was most foully murdered Thursday night in the heart of town, and the mutilated body was not found until nearly twenty-four hours later. A more terrible crime than murder had preceded the butchery of the boy, and the fiend incarnate who did the deed is unknown. A long gash in the boy's stomach caused the boy's aeatn ana tne . entraus were protruding from the body, Weaver Smith was about eight years old, and was a notorious beg gar around town, having a skilfully worded story of distress. When last seen by citizens he was at J W. Riser's, sexton of Spring wood ceme tery, Mam street, by whom he was given some food about 7 o'clock Wed nesday night. From there he went towards the First orieade camp. He .' secured some money and food there. and visited the Fourth New Jersey regiment last. Late yesterday afternoon a negro woman discovered the boy ; lying among the weeds on Elford street, which is a sid- street, ode block north of the Confederate monument. The boy was lying on the south sidewa k. which is rarely used. When discov ered he was lying on bis face a 'd, on being turned over, the cut in his stomach was revealed. The physician found unmistakable ""evidence of a more fiendish crime committed before death, and the boy was doubtless killed to prevent its discovery. Two New York soldiers coming from camp to town Thursday night heard cries on Elford street and ap proachiug, found another soldier, an known to them, with a boy, who, the soldier claimed bad lost his way. The unknown soldier's command is not known and the New York soldiers left him standing near the child. It is be lieved the boy was Weaver Smith and the soldier his assailant and murderer. The crime has aroused the greatest in dignation among citizens and soldiers, and if the guilty man is caught and proves to be a soldier his comrades will endeavor to make short work of him.
