On in fomation brourlit here by refugees that James i:yington. an American imprisoned nine months at Cumpas, Sonora, Mexico, without a trial, was slowly Cyii v of neglect, ntutthor pro test was sent today to the Constitu tionalists :r:?horiti?s tie nandinil hi. immediate :!eao. Arronlinc to the American who hive been a roiled ly what they tle-4-ribed as trinities in flicted cn liyineton, former pretests against his long imprisonment with out a trial have been received with jeers by th Constitutionalists chiefs. Bylngton, who is an old man and a native of Boise, Idaho, is said to be losing his mind. The charges against Byington, on which it is said he was Imprisoned without trial since August, 1'J13, in volves a shipment of ore from a min ing claim. STARVING. CLAD IN RAGS. The refugees report that the Amer ican is confined In a dark cell, clad in rags and half starved. They allege prison officials refused to per mit him to receive food sent by Amer icans and that the prisoner, in conse quence of his treatment and sur roundings, is rapidly losing his mind. It Is said he located a mine claim near Cunipas and, on the assumption that papers legalizing the claim were on the way from Mexico City, pre pared a car of ore for shipment. He was arested on a charge that he had not established his claim. The judge at Cunipas, in denying Bylngton an Immediate trial, is said to have de clared It was necessary to ascertain the value of the ore. That it is said, has not yet been done, but the a has not yet been done, but the amount is less than $300. DEMANDS FOR TRIAL DENIED. Previous reports have been made to Consul Simpich and the demands have been made to the State De partment that Bylngton be released or given a trial. It is asserted here that these demands have been shift ed from one Mexican authority to another. Gov.Maytorena, of Souora it is said, passed the responsibility to Gen. Obregan, Consltuttonalist chief who is alleged to have referred the subject to Carranza. The latter is said to have replied: "The case is in the hands of the Supreme ilvll .court and justice will be done." In the meantime there is no "Su preme civil court," and Bylngton re mains in prison. To the Voter of I'nlon County. As you all know, I am a candidate for Congress to succeed Mr. Page, who has held the office twelve years. There Is a feeling all over the district that Mr. Page has been suf ficiently honored and ought to retire. No man before Mr. Page has held the office from this district for more than four years. This feeling that Mr. Page ought to let go now Is so widespread all over the district that hundreds of people whom I have nev er seen or who have never seen me are working for nie. There are no other candidates but Mr. Page and myself. . I have told the people in the other counties that I believed that the voters of Union county who know me, with whom I have lived all my life, and with whom I expect to live and work the balance of my life, would support me solidly. As there are thirteen counties in the district, I have not had time to see the people of my own county and ask them to support me. I thought that they would be glad to stand by a home man without my taking the time from the pressing work In other counties to go out and ask them per sonally. The primary comes on May 16th. I wanted it put in July or August when the people would be at leisure. It was not seen fit to do this. The committee made an entrance fee of two ihundred and fifty dollars, and this I have fought, because I do not wish to help make Democratic Pri maries so expensive that only men with a great deal of money can en ter them. I have entered the prima ries In four counties already and paid local assessments amounting to thirty dollars. Yet the committee thought that I ought to put up two hundred and fifty dollars more. Mr. Page, who has been drawing a large salary for many years, and now with his son draws nine thousand dollars a year out of the public funds, Is a very rich man, and expense is noth ing to him. His friends controlled the action of the committee and this action is making votes for me all over the district. We must keep the primaries open to the people and not make them so costly that few can enter. This Is a matter of prin ciple with me and I hope that the people of Union county will endorse my action and show the other coun ties that are supporting me that their action Is appreciated. I am not asking my people to vote for me against any home man, but in preference to a man of another county who has already been In office three times as long as we have here tofore honored the well known men who have represented this district. The wise men who framed our con stitution provided that members of the house should be elected fresh from the people every two years, but we have carelessly let It come about that one man may get in and stay a life time. This Is small encourage ment to the boya and young men who are coming along and who wish to serve their people in responsible and useful positions. Very truly, R. F. BEASLET. WRITFS AIWHT 11ATTLE. Mr. Michael llml-on. Son of Mr. W. J. Hudson, Fie-Witncv. of Battle. on South Carolina. United States Steamship, South Carolina, Vera Cruz. Mexico, April 2"rd. lit 14. You have probably heard more !: troubles in Meio f-iid Vera Cruz in particular than we wiio are here, but our information may be more nearly in accord with the fili ation than the distorted iews usual ly fciven by the newspapers. When we left Key West the fleet was scheduled to reach Vera Cruz on the afternoon or night of the 22nd. But In the the mean time. Admiral Fletcher received orders to seize the customs house and shortly after sending his landing force ashore, signalled us to be prepared to land immediately on arrival. The Mexicans offered no resist ance to his landing party, but after wards attacked with Infantry and artillery. Whereupon the Prairie shelled their position and the land ing force held the railroad yard, cus toms house and the American Con sulate. Upon our arrival nearly two thou -and more sailors and marines were sent ashore, about 3 a. in. yes terday morning, the fleet having an chored about 2:30 a. m. The South Carolina's boats were first and were received with a good fire by the Mexicans' rifles and artil lery, which continued until near morning, when the Chester took po sition in the river harbor and shelled them in their positions in barracks and other buildings. A flag of truce was sent during the morning and the city surrendered. Notwithstanding this there are reports that desultory firing from houses and streets con tinued, the Mexicans using all kinds of underhand tricks to get a fire at our men. I think though there was very little firing after the surrender of the city. Additional marines were landed yesterday afternoon and the South Carolina's force with others is entrenUed outside the city awaiting any Mexican re-enforcements that may be sent here from .Mexico City. The Wyoming has control of the rail road approach with her big guns, so I imagine they will have little luck getting In that way. There's noth ing to prevent them leaving the train before reaching the city though, and coming upon it from another direc tion. No official list of casualties has been received, but from all accounts the American loss all told has been sixteen killed and sixty wounded. The Mexican casualties are far greater. I do not know whether or not we will remain here. Some ships will probably go to Turpan today to pro tect the Americans there. As the South Carolina is well coaled and provisioned she may be ordered. My status on the ship does not call for participation in the landing parties and I have been only an eye witness as yet; though more than half the officers are ashore and I think before it is over the rest will wish almighty hard we were in it too. It must be both Interesting and exciting, even if a little hard, but haven't seen anyone yet who wouldn't rather than not ttttaket raher than not take a chance at it. When you see people shot from your own ship and that by the Mexicans, it makes you want to take a whack too. If you are going to have a war I guess there will be enough to go around yet. MICHAEL HUDSON. Ensign, U. S. S. South Carolina. Governor Coiqult Asked to With draw (Staff Troops. Washington, D. C. May 2. Sec. Garrison late today telegraphed to Governor Colquit, of Texas, offering to fiend 490 men of the rgeular Infrantry troops to Browns that number of State militia now stationed at the border town.

Nothing is more pleasant than to watch the birds as they return from their winter home, in the sunny tro pical region. All of our migratory birds do not arrive until about the 15th of May, but a lot of them have arrived. During the last two weeks I have noticed the arrival of the fol lowing birds: Cat bird, Hangblrd, Ce dar bird and yellow billed Cuckoo, those birds wintering in Mexico and southern Florida. The yellow throat ed Humming bird has also arrived lately. He winters in the southern tropical islands. It is not only en joyable to see them returning from the south, but to notice the ones that leave for the north as they ar rive. The Brown creeper and most of our snow birds or snow buntings, have gone north to spend the summer around the Great Lakes or in Canada. Some of our birds migrate at night while others travel In day. The lnsectiverous birds and berry eaters travel at night and then eat Insects, travel at night and then aet insects, berries and weeds during the day. Some of our birds never stop until they get there. It is said that they fly about a mile above the earth. They generally follow a river or a mountain range in migrating. Boys if we will try we can keep a few of our migratory birds with us all win ter by providing proper food and building warm houses for them. Let's try it. PERRY RICH.

That a per manent peace with Mexico is not ex pected to result from the present nediation negotiations was clearly indicated today when it was request ed that the appropriations in the ar my bill, totaling upwards of a hun dred million dollars, be made avail able at once. The bill is now in the hands of the President and carries the appropriation as being available after June 1st. A joint resolution, introduced In the House by Chairman Hay of the House Military Affairs Committees, makes this fund availa ble without delay. A similar rider is expected to be attached to the Naval appropriation bill now under the consideration in Congress. This ac tion is in line with all precaution being taken by this government. OSHAIGHNESSV PREPARING TO COME TO WASHINGTON. It Is authoratlvely learned that Charge O'Shaughnessy is now at Ve ra Cruz expecting to return to the United States within the next few days for the purpose of conferring with the President and w ith State of ficials. Hl'ERTA IS RELEASING PRISON ERS AND STRENGTHENING. In a desperate effort to unite all political factions and organize his de fense to resist the United States. Hu erta has released all political prison ers in Mexico City. According to advices received here this has been done, and the list of those released Includes the men whom the Dictator threw into prison for opposing him as members of the Mexican Congress. AMERICAN REPORTED SHOT. The United States government made a strenuous effort to obtain a confirmation or a denial of the re port that Dr. Edward F. Ryan, of Scranton, Pa., was to be shot today by Mexican Federals at Zacatecas be cause of being a spy for the United States Government. The adminis tration admits being much concern ed over the matter. Dr. Ryan has been the confidential agent for this government for some time and no attempt has been made to conceal this fact, no more so than in the case of Mr. O'Shaughnessy. The state department in communicating with the Brazilian ambassador told the minister that Dr. Ryan must be protected at all hazards. AMERICANS IN MEXICO CITY. Fifteen hundred Americans remain in Mexico City Instead of eight hun dred reported, acording to a dispatch from consul Canada, who said that he was reliably Informed that these were Americans from outlying dis tricts who had gathered In the capital city to be taken to Vera Cruz. Consul Canada said further that the Brazil ian Ambassador and Admiral Crad dox of the British navy, are arrang ing for transporting of these Ameri cans to Vera Cruz. It Is understood that no refugee trains had left since Wednesday night, but that another Is being sent south. B. Wilson and J. Starr Hunt, the two Americans taken from trains, several days ago have reported their safety at Mexico City and say further that there ap pears no disposition to molest Americans. As It Iaxiks in the Other End of the District. (From The Scottish Ohlef.) We understand that Mr. R. F. Bcasley has the support of many of the ablest and most influential gen tlemen of Scotland and Richmond counties in his congressional cam paign. he Is giving an exam ple to friends of the people in this, the sixht district, worthy of emula tion. Joe Brown could have saved the party disgrace of having a nom inee by committee elected, if he had the nerve of Beasley. Mr. Beasley seems to be subject to the movements of another ma chine like unto that which has al ready completed its job and said that no man except the incumbent may be voted for in the "Democratic (God save the mark) pimary" for the sixth district. Beasley was voted for in Lee county primaries and came dan generously near carrying the county. A life congressional tenture is as objectionable as a President for life and as foreign to a Republic as a House of Lords. FUXKRAL SHIP FN HOITK. IiotlU't t f Seventeen Marines Kill ed In St iii-t Fighting ltft Vera Cruz Sunday. Vera Cruz,, May 3. The bodies of 17 American bluejackets and ma rines killed In the street fighting during (he cccupation of Vera Cruz by the I'nited States fleet, started on their way to New York today on board the cruiser Molilalia. Sol emn honors were paid by the great assemblage cf United, States and foreign ,r vessels as the Montana departed. The crews of the warships In full uniform lined the side of the war shipa and aa the Montana reached each one, the men stood at at tention, the marine guards proeont ed arms and, the ship's bands play ed. One by one,, the colors of the fighting craft sank to half mask as the Montana passed through a lane formed by divisions of the Atlant ic fleet. On shore during the Monatna'i passage out of the harbor,, the flag over Brigadier General Frederick Funston'a headquarters was half masted and was oaly raised again when the vessel had disappeared on the borlaon. J. M. Hough, Hi Captain, Writes of Itiitip SniM. Lancaster News. Another grand old veteran of the ' -wt Cause has crossed the river. tip Snipes, known by his rom raues in the war as "llig-K," died at 2 o'clock yestuday near Trades ville. He was in his 93rd year, known ns a private citizen, as a nan of unbound generosity, known ia the war as one of the bravest men who bhou'.dered a musket In defence of his country. I speak advisedly when I say this; as one of his officers, 1 Faw him perforin deeds of valor that would try the mettle of Julius Ceasar at Ream's Station, when his Company had been shot to pieces and run over by the Yankee calvary. We reform ed and drove back the enemy to their breastworks and found them so heav ily mased that we halted and it look ed like madness to go any further. A supreme moment often comes in the affairs of war, w hen the man of emer gency is called for. As we lay on the ground under that galling fire, what must we do? To go forward looked like folly, to retreat would lose the day. The tension was aw ful. As I looked to my right, I saw a man of powerful build with a mus ket in hand, making for the enemy. Discarding danger, he had bid fare well to loved ones at home, to do or die depicted on his features. This was more than we could stand. In spiration kindled in every breast and with that old Rebel yell which made the earth tremble, we rushed upon the fortres and the last we saw of the Yankees was their heels. Do you ask who was that hero? None oth er than Philip Snipes of Captain Hough's Company K, Sixth South Carolina Calvary. Peace to bis ashes. The old type of manhood Is fast pass ing away. Much more could be said but the foregoing is briefly given as a passing notice of my friend. J. M. HOUGH. News About Wingate. Correspondence of Tlie Journal.

Hums Commonly Known .i America's Greatest Ih-tective, Threatened With iol.-nce in Geor gia. Marretta, Ga.. May 1. William J. Ilur:n, the famous dettctive, who won his laurels In connection with th famous Interutaional Struc tural Dyna:al;ers case, was the center of an angry demonstration when he came here late today, pre sumably in connection with an inves tigation of the case of Leo M. Frank, the young factory superintendent of Atlanta under sentence of death for tho murder of 14 year old Mary Phagan. One of a large crowd that sur rounded the detective as soon as his presence was discovered struck him in the face and threats of violence were made if he attempted to resist. Burns immediately went to a hotel while another detective, C. W. Burke, who accompanied him here, summon ed deputy sheriffs to guard him. This was the home of the mur dered factory girl and many of her relatives still live here. Much feel ing has been aroused by the detec tive's declaration that Frank was not guilty and that James Conley, a ne gro factory sweeper convicted as an accessory after the murder,, alone was responsible for the crime. Burns and Burke came here in an automobile and were at a garage when they were discovered and the demonstration started. Burns left the city tonight for At lanta. As soon as the officers were notified of the demonstration against the de tective, they went to the hotel where Burns had taken refuge. Judge Morris also hastened there and it was decided that it was best for the de tective to leave the city for Atlanta as quickly as possible. The crowd which had started the demonstration, together with others had by this time gathered in front of the hotel. An automobile was summoned and the detective, accom panied by Deputy Sheriff Hicks and Judge Morris quickly entered it. Jeers and threats were shouted at Rums, and some threw eggs at him. One hit Judge Morris, but the detec tive was not struck. The automblle left the city at a high rate of speed. Burke, the other detective, and the chauffeur who brought the two men here were guarded tonight to pre vent possible violence. HUKKTA HEADY TO KKSIGX. Only Wants Chunre to (,'et Out of Mexico t:n Foreign Warship. Vera Cruz, May 3. Persistent reports continue circulate here that General Huerta Intends retiring the Presidency of Mexico cn condition that he be assured a safe conduct to a port and be placed oa board a foreign warship. It Is declared In some Mexican circles here thet Huerta was ready to resign a week ago, but was pre vented by Internal dissijitotie in his Cabinet. HOSTILE SENTIMENT GROWING. The resignation of Jose Lopez Portiillo Rojas, the Foreign. Minister coupled with reports that there Is a growing undercurrent of fesllng In Mexico Ctly against the Huerta government is Interpreted here as tore-shadowing a change in the Fed eral capital. Close observers here believe Senor Portlllo'g resignation may clear the way eventually for the appointment of a Foreign Minister who under he Mexican, constitution, could succeed Huerta as president. Marriage of Miss Winchester and Mr. Doster. Correspondence of The Journal. Last Sunday afternoon the Meth odist parsonage at Weddington was the scene of a pretty wedding when Miss Rosalie Winchester and Mr. Grady Doster were united in holy wedlock by Rev. Seymore Taylor.

Their many friends join in wishing them a happy and success ful life. Mr. and Mrs. Doster left on the 4th for Laurlnburg, where Mr. Dostor will be in business. J. O. M. Listing Special Tax. I want to suggest, to school com mitteemen in school districts where there is a special tax, to see that the special tax list is made out at the time the other property is listed, des ignating plainly all who are liable to taxation In the several special school districts, giving name, valuation of real and personal property, and whether or not liable for a pod. Make this list and leave It in the regular township book of the town ship in which the special tax district is located. R. N. NISBET, Co. Supt
