The Ex-Trensurer Brought Back From
Spokane in Charge of
Sheriff.

TACOMA WASH, Dec. 13-George w.
Boggs, ex-City Treasure of Tacoma, re-
turned to-day from Spokane in the Gus
tody OF Sheriff Parker, who had apparently
forgotten that Boggs promised when he
went away to return any time that Parker
wired for him. Boggs endeavored to keep
his word, and was trying to secure trans
portation home when the Sheriff met him
Friday on the street at Spokane. Boggs
seems as happy and jolly as ever. He
does not act like one expecting to spend
six years at hard labor in the Walla Walla
prison. but he says:
Il am here to obey the courts man
dates and if they say go to Walla Walla,
why, go. OF course 1 had rather stay
here, but the sooner this is over the bet
ter"
He was taken to the County Jail this
afternoon and there met his attorneys and
several friends, who called to tell him to
brace ~ The ex-Treasurer did not need
this advice, for OF the entire group ne
seemed the most unconcerned.
His attorneys are Judge Fremont Camp
bell and L. c. Dennis. To-day it was an
nounced that they will ask the Supreme
Court TO rehear the case on which its re-
cent decision that Boggs must go to prison
was based. Failing in this they will MAKE
efforts in different direction to keep b m
out of Walla Wala.

rendezvous where the fugitive could find
money or provisions when hard pushed.
1t is these points that have led to the
meeting of Marshal Gard, Sheriff Lyndon
and local officers in this city. The utmost
secrecy is being observed by all but one,
and his talk, if it reaches Cards ears, will
end his connection with the hunt. The
intention of the party, it is believed, is to
locate the man suspected to be Dunham
and get view of him If possible.
Then, if his hiding-place is below the
line. Mexican aid must be enlisted, as the
kidnapping business would not be tolerated
by either Government. The chase is ex-
ceedingly delicate from the fact that the
talk of $50 900 reward has stirred up every
one to fever heat. and somebody is likely
to inadvertently put Dunham on his
guard. The officer who gave away all that
has been learned SO lar said tonight:
"We're after big game. There is $40, 900
in it, and we'll get him alive or dead. He
may get one of us, but we are too many
for him. We've got him located all right
and he'll be there when we go after him.
There is no mistake bout the man, either,
because he is known here like book"

can see how such an argument might
influence him. hope that one result OF
this outrage will be that we will no more
hear of the much talked-of pride and
honor of the Spaniards. Senator Coilum
painted a pretty dark picture, but he
would have painted darker one had he
known of this treacherous murder"
ST LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 13.-Upon receipt
of the news in this city by the United A :
sociated Presses of the circumstances OF
Maceo's death wave of public indigna-
ton arose. Ii is the absorbing topic of
discussion wherever men gather, and the
treachery of the Spanish general Is con-
demneo in the strongest language. 1t Is
we'll known that ST. Louis is the western
depot OF the Cuban Junta, and inquiries
pour in upon every one supposed to be
connected with the Cuban cause as to the
means of enlisting in the Cuban army.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, Dec. 13.-A Cuban

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 13 3-The Her
AIDS special cable di. patch from Havana
gives the following account of an inter
view with General Weyier on Saturday
night:
"What can you say Of President Cleye-
land mes sage?" l asked.
Nothing absolutely nothing. I am a
military man-not a politician. l can
only say l have no feeling against Mr..
Cleveland or any other President"
l asked Captain General Weyler to ex-
press an opinion regarding Antonio Ma
Geo. He said:
"Maceo was brave man and, I thought,
a great general until the Pinar del Rio
campaign. To-day 1 believe him to have
been brave man OF great prestige, a
Fighter all through and a man who cannot
be replaced by the insurgents-in fact he
was their main stay-and Gomez, who is
an old man, would not have come to Cuba
at all except for Maceo.'
Speaking again of Maceo General Weyler
said he regarded the rebel leader as the
most apt person of the insurrection. and
he added: II went to Pinar del Rio N.Y.
self to cope with him and thought he
would await me in his position. which he
did not"
The general added that Maceo was dead
beyond doubt.

The career of Long Green Lawrence of
the Examiner is now freely discussed,
apropos OF the disreputable part he played
in the Sharkey- FItzsimmons fight. Facts
are coming to light day by day that show
beyond all question that Fitzsimmons was
jobbed in the fight and that the manag-
ing editor of the Examiner was deeply
implicated in the plot.
Wyatt carp was appointed referee OF
the Fitzsim mmons-Sharkey m fight at tue di-
rect instance of Andy NJ. Lawrence. bet
ter known as "Long Green" erstwhile
peanut butcher and now managing editor
of Mr.. Hearst's Examiner. In the first
flush after til decision Mr.. Gibbs admitted
this. He unquestionably told the truth
then, and his subsequent evasion was the
result of an enforced interview In the Ex-
aminer editorial rooms, in which he was
warned not to admit the truth again at
the peril of his reputation and the lash of
the journalistic bully on Mission street.
There are many people-prominent in
every walk of lIfe-who know what it
means to be "invited" to visit the journal
istic Czar. Many proud and spirited men
have gone thither dehantiy and gone out
crushed and crestfallen. The smallest
blow-hoie in a mans armor is sufficient to
make him bend to the wishes of that
newspaper.
When the Examiner wants anything it
sends for a man, and when it sends for
him it usually has disreputable way of
convincing him that he was wrong in his
previous preferences and that the bully of
Mission street is right. So came Gibbs,
the other half Of the National Athletic
Club, the day of the fight, IN the after
noon. He went away convinced that
Wyatt carp ought to be the referee OF the
ii isht; that he must be the referee. He
was the referee. To the better under
standing of the peculiar selection of Mr..
carp, THE CALL is able to give a little in
side history, antedating the fight, but
serving as connecting link, as significant
as it is indisputaple. The story goes back
to last summer, when Dave Neagle made
his assault on James H. Barry, the editor
of the Star. The Examiner denounced
NeagIe's conduct. His character was
painted in colors deep and red and the
hiring of "a paid assassin" was an act
held up to the scorn and the loathing of
the people. The readers of The CALL will
bring to mind the pictures which bubbled
out ali over the Examiner about that time.
The main point at issue was the hiring
as a paid guard man whose chief recon-
mendation rested on the fact that he was
"a killer"
The honesty and consistency of the Ex-
aminer is beautifully illustrated by the
sequel.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Dec. 13.--The
Cubans of this city will tomorrow night
hold torchlight procession and mass
meeting of citizens to express their indig-
nation at the murder of General Maceo
and the methods of warfare practiced by
the Spaniards under General Weyier in
Cuba. Speeches will be made by promi-
nent Americans as well as by Cubans.
Joaquin Fortune, the president OF Ell
Circulo Guiana and one of the representa-
tives of the junta in Florida. said to-day:
The cowardly murder of gallant Maceo
by the Spaniards does not go very far to
prove the splendid patriotism and chiv-
airy OF the Spaniards mentioned in the
Presidents message"
He gave several instances of Spanish
treachery during the last ten.years war
in Cuba and recalled that when Generals
Jose Maceo. GuiIlermo, Moncada and
Quentin Bandera celebrated a treaty
of peace with Spain in 1878 they we're
promised that if they laid down their
arms they and their families would be
permitted to EN- bark for Santiago de Cuba

TREATING THE WRONG

How large bills are run up without
benefit to the sufferer

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one
from dyspepsia, another from nervous dis
ease, another from liver or kidney disease,
another with pain here and there, and IN
this way they all present alike to thetn-
selves and their easy going, Indifferent, or
over busy doctors, separate and distinct dis
eases, for which they prescribe their pills
and potions, assuming them to be such,
when, in reality, they are all only symptoms
caused by some womb disease The physi-
clan ignorant of the cause of suffering en-
courages his practice until large bills are
made. The suffering patient gets no better,
but probably worse, by reason OF the delay,
wrong treatment and consequent complica-
tious. A proper medicine, like Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, dfrecfed to The caHSL
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispe1ling all those distressing
symptoms, and instituting comfort instead
of prolonged misery. 1t has been well said,
that "a disease known is half cured"

has been afforded the Spanish Govern

high to-day, and it is now thought that no

meeting of the American Temperance
Union, which was held in Chickering
Hall and at which Rev. DR.. c. H. Mead,
president of the union, presided, Rev. Dr.
/. J. Funk, editor of the Voice, denounced
the Raines law, Senator Raines, city Off
cials and police officers of this city and
Brook lyn and charged officers appointed
under the Raines law with eglect af duty.
He demanded the dismissal of some of the
officials, especially OF Commissi oner of
Police Wells of Brooklyn, who, he said,
should be sent to the penitentiary for
trading off law for votes. DR.. Funk SAID
in part:
at is gross trifiing with the public.
1t is a roaring farce for Senator Raines
and his committee to come here and ask
whet her the Raines law has been violate
and why it has not been enforced That
law has been violated on all sides ever
since It has been put in force. with the
knowledge OF Senator Raines, with the
knowledge of every newspaper man in the
State, with the guilty knowledge of the
police, the superintendent of Buildings OF

pointed under law to see its enforce

A report from inspectors OF the union

SAN JOSE. CAL, Dec. 12.-Sheriff Lyn-

sumed that he left for the south, but no
information in that connection could be
obtained at the Sheriff's Office. The depu-
ties refused to discuss the matter, but il
was learned from outside sources that the
Sheriff's errand is to follow up supposed
clew as to the whereabouts of James G..
Dunham, the murderer of the McGlincy
family.
1t is probable that Sheriff Lyndon's des-
tination is the State of Guadalaiara. Mex

that man said to be Dunham was ar
rested by police agent at Silao. Mexico,
a few weeks ago. The suspect had an
assumed name and was keeping himself
in hiding in his hotel as much as possible.
The officers of Silao had pictures of Dun
ham and several of them were positive
that the prisoner was the Campbell MUIR

known reason, ordered the release of the
suspect. The supposed murderer imme-

Efforts to have the suspect again appre-

Mexican Government has issued a circular

the recommendation of police agents

eign Affairs. 1t is believed that Sheriff
Lyndon has received information as to
the suspects present whereabouts and has
gone to Mexico after him.

Plea OF MINISTER DE LONE.
Asks the American People to Suspend
Their Judgment.

Their Judgment.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. Dec. 13.-The
Spanish Minister, Mr.. Dupuy de LONE,
expressed the hope to-day that the Amer
lean people will suspend judgment regard
ing the reported assassination of Maceo
until the real facts are known. He ridi-
cuIed the statement that the Vice Captain
General, Ahumada, could be party to
such an occurrence, and believes that there
are a sufficient number of reputable cor
respondents in Havana to investigate
these charges fairly and publish the re-
suit. The statements of the Junta, which,
he says bear the stamp of absurdity upon
their face, are made to peutralIze the effect
of the Presidents message and to create
sympathy with their failing cause.
1--WE have been accused repeatedly" he
said ''of circulating the report of Maceo's s
death to affect the action of Congress. 1t
is quite reasonable to assume that Maceo
is known to be dead; that the Junta is
originating reports of his death by treach-
cry for the same reason"

Mdceo's Murder Causes MGny Men to

CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 13.-The circum-
stances attending the death of Com
mander Maceo of the Cuban army have
aroused feeling of intense indignation in
this city. The stories published in the
morning papers were discussed at the
various clubs and hotels and the opinion
was almost unanimous that Congress
would take summary action during the
coming week. All agreed that the assas-
sination of Maceo would do Spain more
harm than good.
Edward F. Cragin, chairman of the
Cuban Relief Com mittee of this city, said
Tonight: IF this news of Maceo's death
is correct the effect will be to- ruin the
cause of Spain. Maceo in death will ac-
complish more than in life. This treach-
erous. cold -blooded, diabolical murder
places the Spaniards below the Cubans
and removes the last vestige OF reason
why we should consider Spanish feelings.
The conservative spirit will not be strong
enough to hold Americans back.
1.-THE vote in Congress where there were
only sixteen in the negative was fair In
dication of the feeling then, but during
the year that has passed that feeling has
been growing more and more intense. We
may never know just what were the per-
suasions used by the Spaniards or what
was the motive of Maceo OF going into
their hands 10 confer with them and thus
trust to their honor. ] cannot think OF
anything unless it was President Cleye-

sented to him that the President OF the
United States wanted the war to cease,

honor of Spain could be maintained, and
