Leading citizens say that the outbreak has been expectefi by them for a long'tlme. as a bitter feeling has existed for several years between the negroes and a certain class of whites. A numlier of minor outbreaks have occurred In the last year. Governor Mutls Is virtually a prisoner. The national government in certain quarters is being held responsible for much of what has happened because the soldiers have not been paid for some time, and Governor Mutls declined to give more of the money of the department of Pnnama for national expenses. arguing that the central government owes the department more than ?2,000,000, besides having obligated the department by a recent decree to pay the salaries of all civil national employees.

London, July 27.—There is no basis, says the Tokyo correspondent of the Times, for the alarmist telegrams published in England In regard to Japanese preparations for war. There is certainly growing indignation in Japan over Russia's proceedings, but the government and nation are calm. In an interview General Cobos admitted differences with Governor Mutis because of the latter's refusal to pay the soldiers, who, he said, were hungry. He said that Governor Mutis had systematically opposed everything emanating from the military authorities, but denied that he had intended to arrest the governor. He said: The will of Leo was read.

Chicago, July 27.—"I see people of the north are gradually becoming civilized," said Senator Tillman here, commenting on the Danville race riot. "I love the south, but I cannot point with greater pride to two cities of the southland than I can to Danville nnd Belleville, 111., In this, Lincoln's state. You are settling the race problem all right. We have hanged and burned In our states, but we have never killed or Injured peraons. The north is trying to wipe out whole colonies of negroes.

Passing the governor's house, I went upstairs to inform him of what had happened because of his leniency toward the Liberals, who dally Insult the military authorities. Governor Mutis sent word that he was out, which, being untrue, I concluded he had refused to see me. It was far from my mind to arrest the governor, who had no reason to side against me. I am anxious to end the situation, which was really created by Governor MutlA himself. I have tried to see him three times, but without success." CRITICAL DAY ON 'CHANGE.
