shots, but none took effect. The ue

Company of Militia Reaches scene
of Disturbance Reports as to Cas.
unities Among Whites Denied Ne
gro's Refusal to Pay Note Results In
Heated Struggle Near Palestine.
Palestine, Tex., Aug, 2. At least
eighteen negroes were killed In a
racial clash In the extreme eastern
section of Anderson county, tho cul
mination of an enmity between the
races brewing for several weeks, lesa
consci vative reports place the total
fatalities nt between thirty nnd forty.
It was also reported that several whito
men were either killed or wounded,
but each rumor as to casualties among
the whites has met an authoritative
denial. Tioops reached the scene of
the disturbance, about twenty-fivo
miles distant It Is reported that tho
belligeieuts have dispersed and fur
ther bloodshed will In alt probability
be averted. ;
Precautions Taken.
When Ihe first news of the disturb
ance reached Palestine, officers were
sent to the scene, locul ammunition
stores were ordered to suspend sales,
and the Baloons to close. It was quick
ly apparent, however, that the situa
tion was beyond the control of the
local officers and" troop3 were asked
for.
Thomas Alvord, a white man, and n
negro engaged in a fight over a note
which Alvord had indorsed and the
negro refused to pay. Alvord drew a
revolver and shot at the negro. Sev
eral friends of the negro, who wero
armed, chased Alvord, who was rein-.
forced by several of his friends.
Shooting became general. A deputy
shetirr. who attempted' to arrest a ne
gro, wa3 shot through the body. Tho
whites invaded the negro quarter and
tiring was incessant through the
gi eater part or the night. In the mean
time, word was brought from Slocum,
which is fifteen miles south of here,
nnd Sheriff Black and a posse left to
quell the disturbance.
At Dennison Springs, near Slocum,
theie Is a negro colony numbering 200.
Many of these negroes, heavily armed,
are said to have gone to Slocum with
the avowed Intention of "cleaning out
the whites." District Judge Gardner
ordered all saloons in Palestine closed
for lear that the race war would ex
tend to this place.
SPAIN AND POPE BREAK
Papal Nuncio at Madriz Is Recalled
by Vatican.
Rome, Aug. 1. Mgr. Vico, tho papal
nuncio at Madrid, was recalled by tho
Vatican, completing the break be
tween the Roman Catholic church and
Spain. Maiquis de Ojeda, left Rome,
having been recalled by Spain. Tho
complete severance of diplomatic rela
tions between the Vot'rau an-l tho
Spanish government puts an end to all
possibility of amelioration negotiations.
The Vatican, In a semi-official com
munication, says the recall of the am
bassiuloi pioves that the program of
Piemler (,'analejas was not arranged
with the hope of accord, but with a do
Bire Tor tight and the communication
adds, he will have it.
Valfeau olticlnls lake the datkest
view of the situation, not only in
Spain, hut iu Portugal as well. They
atv' nf the opinion that the extreme
parties In both countries, aided by
foreign elements, are trying to over
throw tin lespecllvo monarchies, with
Hit object of uniting the Iberian pen
insula under republican rule.
In Spain, it is pointed out, there Is
in addition to the French Free Ma
sonic influence, the English Protestant
influence evercis'ed over the king
thiough tho Battcnburgs, who havo
established themselves at the Spanish
louit. consequent upon the king's .

Ihiotighout Spain, following the direc
tion of Premier Calaneja to recall
Marquis de Ojeda. the Spanish mini--lei
at the Vaticnn. thus breaking ort
all diplomatic relations with the holy
see. took the form of rioting, and re
pot ts from the provinces state that
distui bances broke out in many dis
tricts where soldieis and townspeople
were wounded and many arrests made.
This is looked upon as the first break.
The government attempted to dis

Is a grave question what action, if any,
will bo taken by the other European
powers 'in the event that Don Jaime,
the pretender to the throne, suddenly
