viva espana" and death to the rebels
The men were kicked, beaten and one
had his head cut open by flying mis-
sile. 1t was a pitiful sight to see the
poor wretcheS with arms pinioned and
mob at their heels shouting for their
blood. BY the time the prisoners reach
ed the palace the mob numbered between
200 and 300 General Ahumada, the Sc
cunda Cabano, or second chief of the
government game out and ordered the
guards to dispense the mob.
General Weyler has had several inter
views with Jose Maria Galvez and other
leaders of the autonomist party. He
asked If it was true that the party in
tended remaining away from the polls
in the coming election. Senior Galvez
said that no decision had yet been
reached. General Weyler then said: III
you do not take part in the elections it
will be because you are enemies of
Spain, but have not sufficient valor to
go to the field. / will guarantee your
party ten deputies, and in case you do
not take part in the elections | shall
treat you as treat other enemies
In all probability the autonomists will
go to the polls. The reformists still say
they will not take part in the elections.
During the past week the principal war
news has been the destruction of the
camps hospitals and strongholds of the
insurgents in the Siguanea valley, near
Cienaga, and at Lospalos. While Maceo
was in the west and Gomez moving east
columns acting under special orders
have RACED these camps and many
wounded rebels have fallen into the
hands of the Spanish troops.

A WEDDING TOUR
RUDELY ENCEO
The Bride of a Month
Tires of Marital
Bliss.
Howard Fairfield Is Searching
Portland for His Runaway
Spouse.
LEFT HER MONEY AND JEWELS
Religious Differences and temporary
Insanity Thought to Have Led
to the Desertion.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 3.-An uncom-
monty strange case of desertion by wife
was brought to light last night by the
arrival here of Howard Fairfield from
Seattle in search of his bride, whom he
married in Baltimore, Nd, less than
month ago.
Mr.. Fairfield belongs to a wealthy family
in Louisville, KY, and ne first met his
wife at the Chicago Worlds Fair in the
company of mutual friends. The Fair
fields were on a wedding trip, purposing
to pass their honeymoon on the Pacific
Slope. They reached Seattle last Friday,
putting up at one of the principal hotels
and intending to take in this city on their
way to San Francisco.
Last Saturday afternoon Mrs Fairfield
was seized with fit of distressing melan-
cholia, during which her husband was
called from the hotel on business. On his
return he found note on his private par
lor table from his wife, saying in a few
brief words that she was wearied of mar
ried life and that she was going to visit
friend in Portland, whence she would re-
turn to her people. Tne young wife also
beseeched her husband not to pursue her,
as she never again would live with him.
The only difference they ever had was
one of religion. Mrs. Fairfield was a most
devout Catholic up to month before her
marriage, and then only after much per-
suasion did she hesitatingly join her hus-
bands church, the Baptist. Mr.. Fairfield
now imagines that his brides secret brood
ing over the abandonment of the faith to
which she so tenaciously chung to the last
moment must temporarily have unsettled
her reason. That she is alive he does not
doubt. In his own distressed state of mind
the unhappy husband said to the detective
having the case in hand:
"If it is required for the purpose of
restoring my wife's peace of mind I'll sug-
gest that she return to the church of her
childhood, and I'll even become mem
ber OF it if she asks it..
That Mrs. Fairfield was not in healthy
frame of mind when she deserted her hus-
band is evidenced by the fact that she left
lot OF money and jewelry exposed in her
rooms at the hotel. In an open trunk
were $500 in gold coin and diamonds valued
at nearly four times that sum. This little
The San Francisco call., 1896-11-04
fortune though was happily found un-
molested by the deserted husband.

but opened fire.
The supposed robber fell at the first
shot. Forsyth called for help and then
went to attend to him. When light was
brought he was horrified to see that he
had shot Johnson, his next door neigh
Dor.
The theory is that Johnson was con-
fused when he went home, and made a
mistake in the two houses. He was try
ing to enter Forsyth's house with his own
key.
Doctors found that the bullet had en-
tered the unfortunate mans body in the
groin. They say there is little chance-for
him TO live.
