The gunboat Nashville reached Gibara
in Cuba, on Tuesday last, when she cap

On entering the harbor she was met by the
former United States consular agent and
the president of the railroad line to Ho-

alton of Gibara two days before by Gen.
Luque and his 1.S00 Spanish troops, who
feared concerted attack by Americans and
Cubans. They fled to Hoguin by rail and
afterward tore up the tracks.
Gen. Luque left in the Gibara hospital
5o6 sick and wounded Spanish soldiers, with
a request to Admiral Sampson to see that
they were properly cared for.

the American flag over the town. At that
time only Red Cross Society and Cuban
flags were flying and there was some nues-
ton as to whether dissension might not
arise between the Americans and Cubans In
consequence of the Garcia -Shafter incident.
In such case Capt. Maynard was resolved to
seize and hold the place.
On the way to Key West the prize schoon-

no colors, but by her build apparently

THE LAKE CITY OUTRAGE.
Efforts Claimed as Being Made t.
Defeat the Ends of Justice.


A determined effort is being made at
Lake City, s. c., SO the post office officials
learn, to defeat the ends of justice in
avenging the outrage there of a few months
ago. 1t will be recalled the colored post

with his child, and his wife and baby in
arms were also wounded. The post office.

When the news reached Washington a
post Office inspector was Immediately sent
to investigate the case. The President him
self evinced the greatest interest in the
matter and discussed ways and means
with his cabinet to bring the guilty to JUS
uce. Neither time nor expense was to be
spared, and for some time the secret agents
Of the government were hard at work fer
reting out the criminals. AS q result of
their laborS some ten or twelve men were
arrested and sent to Jail without ball. and
1t was confidently expected that justice
would be meted out to the guilty ones.
Word has recently been received, how
ever, that all the men arrested have been
admitted to bail, an unheard-of proceeding
all kinds of tricks to break up the damag-
ing testimony of the government. AS an
instance of the means employed, it is re-
ported that the principal witness for the
government has been arrested on a
trUmped-up charge of larceny and convict
ed. He is now serving a term of imprison-
ment in the county workhouse. The officials
and conviction were merely for the purpose
Of damaging his testimony The other wit
nesses, 1t is said, are being bounded and

A dispatch from New York city. states
that ex-Judge Thomas Jefferson Mackey,

SPANISH TO BE PROTECTED,
Residents of Santiago Have Bee
ReAaxurs.h

Residents of Santiago Have Been
Reassured.
The Spanish residents at Santiago, Cuba,
have been led to believe that Skaters army
is to be ordered away from Santiago, after
the Spanish troops now prisoners have been
transported to Spain. This has given rise
to fear in their minds that they ere tc be
left to the mercy Of the Cubans. If they
feared the occupation of Santiago by the
American army they are now doubIy fear
full of the results of its departure. Appeals
have been made to Gen. Shafter not to
withdraw the American forces from San
uago and he has communicated these ap-
peals to the war officials. Assurances have
been given to the people of Santiago by the
War Department through Gen. Shafter that
this government will stand squarely by the
terms OF the Presidents proclamation rela-
tive to the government of the city and
province.
A permanent military garrison for santi-
ago, consisting of the LIST and ID Immune
Regiments, has been provided, and 1t will
remain there even If Gen.. Skaters corps
should be withdrawn. These facts have
been communicated to the Spanish resi-
dents of the city and have tended to allay
their fears.

ES-Judge Curtis gave his daughter $1,000
for a wedding present. Mrs. Mackey had
supposed her husband was wealthy enough
to give her a home as good as the one she
gave up. but she soon found out that he
was practically penEiless. He decided to
go to Europe on the honeymoon trip, and
spent the $1,000 in the old country. When
they returned they went to housekeeping
at 36S West 10th street. The ex-judSs

Mackey had q little fortune of her own,
and her husband borrowed money from her
regularly.

he was going to Washington to attend to
an important case and would be absent for
long time. During her absence he packed
up all his clothing and she says he also
drew about $4,000 of her money. Acting
upon the advice of her father and Lawyer
John B. Fiske of 81 Wall street. she OBJ
tanned a warrant for the arrest of her huS-
band on the charge of abandonment A de-
tectiye was detailed to serve the warrant.
The eX-judge, though in seclusion, was
rot idle. Last spring, while in Washington,
he met Miss katherine Porterfeld, a beau
tiful young woman. She was living tenn
porarily with Mrs Loring, who keeps a
boarding house. Mackey made love to Miss
Porterfield. He told her he had been a
widower for years, and before he returned

him, If her parents consented. The ex-
judge saw Col George A. Porterfield
cashier of the Bank of Charlestown, w.
Va, the father of the fiancee, and OBJ
tanned his consent to the marriage. On
July 19 Mackey and Miss Porterfield were
married in Col Porterfields home by the
Rev. A c. Hopkins In the evening the ex-
judge and his bride started for Washing
ton. He told Col. Porterfieid that there
was woman in New York who would at
| tempt TO blackman him If the marriage be-
came known at that time.
They Came Here.
The ex-judge and his wife spent two days
in Washington and then he took her to

called upon Mrs. Mackey No. 1 at her
home. She tried to communicate with the
