SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.-The
trial of Richard S. Williams, an ex-in-
Epector stationed at the San Francisco
custom-house, who is charged with eX-
torting money and accepting bribes in
connection with the illegal landing of
Chinese at this port, was commenced in
the District Court this morning. The
entire session of the court was taken
up with the impeachment of jury. The
prosecution will attempt to prove that
whereas Williams was obliged to bOr-
row $50 from Little Pete" the notOri-
Gus Mongolian smuggler, with which to
purchase a uniform when he entered the
service of the department, he accumu-
lated a snug fortune within a few
months
The wife Of the defendant, whose suit
for divorce is now before the courts,
has placed in the hands of the Federal
authorities damaging evidence against
her husband. She states that Williams
frequently brought home large sums of
money in excess of his salary, and that
he admitted having obtained the same
illegally. When she expressed fear that
he would get into trouble, he assured
her that others were implicated who
were in q position to shield him from
harm.
Special Treasury Agent Major Moore,
Who has collected the evidence for the
prosecution, is confident of securing a
conviction, while Port Collector Wise
expresses the belief that it viii be an

SOME LIVELY FIGHTING.
Insurgent Forces flake 1t Hot for the
Spanish Soldiers.

HAVANA, Aug. 19-It is reported
from Artemesia that a number of rebels
stopped a work train near Bacanagua
and attacked the military escort on

their own story, made a gallant de-
fense for five or six hours, when troops
who had been sent to their assistance
arrived on the scene and drove the reb-
els from their positions. The Spanish
loss was six killed and twenty-five
wounded including a Lieutenant The
rebel losses are said to have been
heavy. The train was abandoned and
was set on fire by the rebels as soon as
the troops receded.

tide Garcia surrounded a body of Span
ish guerillas who were employed in pro-
tecting the laborers on the Guerrero es-
tate near Banaquises, province of Mat
anZas and attacked them from all
sides. The Spanish force was obliged to
retreat, leaving behind them, according
to the official report, twelve dead, in
Guiding the commanding officer. Eight
wounded men were carried in the re-
treat by their comrades. Advices from
another source are to the effect that
the Spanish losses We're much larger
than stated in the official report.
Numerous rebel bands, believed to be
commanded by Maxine Gomez. at
tackled convoy that was proceeding
from Cuto to Bayamo under the escort
of General Fernandez. A fierce com
bat ensued. The troops used artillery,
but the rebels succeeded in forcing the
escort to retire and captured the con-
voy. The rebel loss is unknown. The
Spaniards lost an officer and three pri-
Yates killed, a surgeon and twenty
seven privates seriously wounded and
thirty-five others SLIGHTLY wounded.

which is now proposed is against all
that makes free peace, comfort and
prosperity of this country.

died at his home in Hazeton on Mon
day. He was born in Ireland seventy
six years ago. Emgrating to America
he located at Beaver Meadow, where he
resided until 1862, when he removed to
Milnesville. Nine years ago he went to
IIazleton. Besides wife the following
children survive: Bridget, wife OF
Stephen Burke, Milncsville; Annie, wife
of John Pugh, Oneida; John and Daniel
Wilkesbarre; Patrick, Milnesville; Peter,
Baltimore, Md; E. j. and Ellen, Halle
ton.
Mr.. Fallon was one OF the foremost
temperance advocates in this region,
having taken the pledge in Ireland in
1912. Always a strict advocate OF the
cause and constantly being associated
with the total abstinence movement, his
death has removed from the ranks one
OF the most DEVOTED workers.
