JEERED BY SMALL BOYS
SPANISH CONSUL GENERAL ANNOHED
BY NEW YORK GAMINs.
Cruiser Vizcaya Dressed with Flags
IN Honor of Washington's Birth
day and Her Visitors.

NEW YORK. Feb 22.-The Spanish cruis-
er Vizcaya received more attention to-day
than at any time since she dropped anchor
on Tompknsvilie. The fact that the day
was holiday attracted thousands who
tried to take look at the much-advertised
war vessel 1t was an utter impossibility
20 get a sight OF the Vizcaya from the
shore during the forenoon on account of the
heavy fog. Only the warning whistles Of
the guard tugs circling about her gave an
indication Of her position. 1t was to be a
busy day for the officers and crew, however
as the anniversary of Washington's birth
day was 10 be observed in the same man.

AT eight bells In the morning the Spanish
vessel dressed ship in honor of the day and
expected guests. She had what Is known
as the rainbow dress" consisting of a line
OF pennants running from the jackstaff for

TO the stem. An extra size jack was flown

WORK OF A WHITE MOB
NEGRO POSTMASTER AND ONE OF HIS
CHILDREN SHOT AND KILLED,
His Wife and Three Daughters
the Man and Babe Burned.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Feb. 22.-The most re-
voting crime ever perpetrated by white
men in South Carolina was committed at
Lake City, Williamsburg county, at 1
o'clock this morning, when Postmaster
Baker, negro, and his family were burned
out of their home, the postmaster and a
babe in arms killed, his wife and three
daughters shot and MANNED for life. Baker
was appointed postmaster three months ago.
Lake City is a town of five hundred inhab-
itants and the negro population in the vi
cinity is large. There was a protest at Ba-
ker's appointment, but it was not a very
vigorous one Three months ago, as the
postmaster was leaving tffe office at night
in company with several colored men, he
was fired on from ambush, but it was not
known that the would-be assassin was
prompted by other than personal malice.
Since then Baker moved his family into a
souse on the outskirts of the town, where
he also established the postoffice.
Last Tuesday night a body of men who
kept concealed behind buildings and fences
in the neighborhood riddled the building
with shot and rife bullets. They shot high
and no one was hurt, but it was supposed
to convey warning. Tt was a short time
before that Senators Tillman and McLau-
rem and Congressman Horten had asked the
postmaster general to remove Baker be-
cause of his color and the request had been
refused. Baker did not move his family
and gave no evidence of being frightened.
He felt confident of protection from Wash
ington.
At o'clock this morning torch was ap-
piled to the postoffice and Bakers house.
Back just within the line OF light were over
a hundred white men, armed with pistols
and shot guns. BY the time the fire aroused
the sleeping family, consisting of the post
master. his wife, four daughters, a son and
an infant at the breast, the crowd began
firing into the building A hundred bullet
holes We're made through the thin boarding,
and many found Judgement in the people
within. Baker was the first TO reach the
door and he fell dead just within the
threshold, being shot in several places. The
mother had the buoy in her arms and had
reached the door over her husbands body
when bullet crashed through its skull and
1t fell to the floor. She was'ishot in several
places. Two of the girls had their arms
broken close to the shoulders and will prob
ably lose them. Another of the girls is be-
lieved to be fatally wounded. The boy is
shot. Two of the seven occupants of the
house escaped with slight injuries The
bodies of Baker and the infant were burned
in the building. All mail matter was de-
stroyed. A coroner's jury was impaneIed
this evening and it visited the charred re-
mains and adjourned till Saturday.

Flag Lieutenant Aaron Ware. approached
the Vizcaya at IL o'clock on the command
ants launch Undine His approach was
heralded by seventeen guns from the cruis-
ers deck. When the Undine drew up at
the Vizcayas gangway the marines drew
up along the deck in double file. AS the
whiting party passed between the lines the
cruisers band played THE Star-spangled
Banner and the ships colors were dipped
twice. Admiral Bunce was taken to Capt.
Eulates cabin and courtesies were ex-
changed for fifteen minutes, then the adj
miral's party left.
At noon the cruisers batteries again
doomed with a national salute of twenty
one guns in honor of the Nations holiday.
Soon afterwards Consul General Arturo
Baldasano, accompanied by his son, Vice
Consul Baldasano, and a detective arrived.
The consul general and party arrived at
Tompkinsville by train, and one of the
Vizacaya's launches was at the dock to
convey them on board. The consul general
was in his uniform, and it attracted much
attention on the streets, and drew crowd
of small boys behind him. They jeered and
hooted him as he approached the dock.
The Spanish official was visibly annoyed,
but said nothing.
The day was far from being a holiday
for the crew of the Vizcaya. Two coal
barges were towed alongside the vessel dur
ing the forenoon and she began taking on
coal. The coal came from st. George The
barges had been loaded under the inspection
OF men from the United States navy, and
had been closely watched by navy tug
The Vizcaya also took on board a full sup
ply of fresh water for her boilers and a
stock Of provisions and formed the center
Of the cluster of tugs and lighters

testimony now being taken by the court of
inquiry at Havana The fact that ii is
deemed essential to have the drawings
which show the pocket coal bunkers that
ahut on the magazine is evidence that Capt
Sigsbee has in mind the spontaneous com
bustion theory, though it does not follow
by any means that he is committed to It..
The Navy Department received a dis
patch from Captain Sigsbee this evening
saying that fourteen more bodies had been
recovered from the wreck of the Maine
aAll the remains are unidentified. 1t is not
thought that any bodies will be identified
hereafter unless by the clothing. Aside
from the effect of long submersion the men
still missing were nearly all directly under
the main deck, which was blown up and
the tremendous force of the explosion
probably blotted scores of them out of ex-
istence entirely. The department knew
nothing of the printed report that the
tender Bache had left Havana with dis
patches for Admiral Sicard at Key West
Legislative provision for the relief of the
victims of the Mains disaster occupied the
House committee ON naval affairs all day,
a general measure being agreed on late this
afternoon similar to the relief measure that
followed the Samoan disaster i'm 1889. The
resolution will be finally passed on at
special meeting OF the committee to-mor-
row, and will be reported by Chairman
Boutelle and its passage by the House ex-
pedited. Though based on the precedent of
the Samoan bill, approved Feb. IA, 1880. il

months pay, and provision is to be made
for bringing the remains back to this
country at the direction of the naval au-

first to the wife or children of the victim,
then to the parents. or, if there are neither
of these relatives, then to the brother or
sister or other collateral relatives The
pay of deceased is to be continued to these
at least three months.

New York. Feb. 2.-The stock market was
under liquidatng pressure to-day. but the
strength of some special stocks and manip-
ulated advances of others made the market
exceedingly uneven. There were numerous
halts in the liquidation during the day and
partly successful attempts to achieve
rallies, SO that the day was one of con-
stant changes, some stocks mounting up
ward strongly while the market was tend
of continued heavy selling to take profits
in some of the most prominent favorites in
the recent speculation, notably Northern
Pacific, Union Pacific and the Nanderbilts.
Quite a large element of the professional
traders sold the market with a good deal of
vigor and confidence. Nevertheless offer
ings We're very well absorbed and most of
the net losses of the day are confined to
fractions. The early transactions showed
positive strength under n combination of
influences. Among these was q considera BILE

volume of buying orders from commission

curities of the Union Pacific company in

advanced with something of a rush over the
opening prices and impaired strength to the
whole market. Baltimore & Ohio advanced

Dry Goods.

New York. Feb. 2.-Uncertain conditions
as TO the weather and the consequent move
ment of buyers have hampered trading in
the dry goods market this week. The move
ment of spring goods has been generally
light in all divisions. but wherever fall or
winter goods are obtainable. they have
done well. Except in wooden goods. the de-
has been stimulated by the stormy wealth.
er of the last few days. Reports of heavy
sales by manufacturing clothiers and job
bers have tended to make those buyers
who We're in the market more anxious to
secure goods. In cotton goods the demand
has shown great laxity. Brown cottons are
dull locally and the demand is unknown
