In difference to the practice of the early set

admitted into the Union of States, and also
with the advice and consent OF the Executive
Council, L do appoint THURSDAY, the 2Stt

should still be respected, and 1 earnestly re

to refrain from all unnecessary labor. remem

While reports from Madrid are to be
taken with much allowance, this one
has the appearance of probability. The
Spanish Admiral must choose between
permitting his ships to be blookaded in
Manila, where they would be OF no use
to Spain whatever, or come out and risk
a battle with the American squadron.
With his Anticipated vessels, he is taking
a perilous chance in adopting the latter
course, but it is the only chance left him
to do anything for his country.

FAMILY OF MooNsHINERs.
Father and Three Sons, Daughters and
Their Husbands, Makes 10000 Gallons.

(From the Louisville Courier Journal.
Harrison Gibson and his three sons,
Jack, Brownlow and Hanney, probably
four of the most notorious moonshiners
in Kent lucky, are serving sentences in
the county Jail Confined in the same
section of cells are Joe Samper and VIII
liam Madden, sons-in. law of Gibson.
Flemi ng Gibson, fourth son. was re-
Gently released from Jail after serving q
sentence for violating the internal reve-
nue. laws, and Henry Gibson, another
member OF the notorious family, was ar.
rested not long ago in jackson County
for moonshining, but was released.
Harrison estimates that he and his five
sons have made no less than $4,000 gal.
Ions of whisksy on which not cent
OF revenue was ever paid to the govern.
ment. He further computes that he and
his family have realized between $40, OOO
and 500, GOO from the distillation of the
whisky.
The seat of operations of the Gibson
family is in jackson and Clay counties.
Harrison Gibson says he has been arrest
ed SO many times for moonshining that
he could not say exactly how many times
he has been tried before the Federal Com
missioners and in the United States
courts. Jack, Brownlow and Hanney
Gibson have served about six terms each.
while Chimney" and Henry have escaped
being arrested more than two or three
times.
Joe Stamper and William Maddern,
who married two Of Gibson's daughters,
are both expert moonshiners, and are re-
garded as dangerous men. Their wives
are also skilled in the art of making
"doublin, and disposing of the whiskey
and help to battle the Federal authorities
When seen in his cell at the Jail yester-
day afternoon, Harrison Gibson said:
"Yaas. think l am the real king of
the Kentucky SINNERS. am nigh onto

the stuff ever since l was boy 10 years

tinued the old man, ito make whiskey.
When Jack was but years old took
him to the still with me. Within three
days that boy understood the biz thor

he was as good Sinner as his pa, and
the marshals arrested him and took him
to Jail. made the other boys learn, too.

| 1t is among the possibilities of course
| that Spanish feet may come over here
and attempt to lombard some of our
northern cities, but there is not the
slightest trustworthy evidence at present
to show that any feet is on It's way OF
that any such operation is contemplated.
About all the foundation to the present
apprehension is a despatch from Madrid
saying that the report is current there
that some of our northern cities will be
attacked before long. This rumor may
have been 50 afioat simply to quiet the
populace who are evidently somewhat
| FESTIVE at the inaction of. the Spanish
fleets, and their failure to rush to the de-
| fence of Cuba One of the vessels which
has been credited to the squadron sup
| posed to be on it's way here is the Pelayo,
a first class battleshir, and probably the
| best vessel in the. Spanish navy, but there
seems to be indisputabIe evidence that
no longer ago than yesterday she was in
the Straits of Gibraltar along with a tor
pedo boat lying in wait for American yes
sells. The whereabouts of the other vessels
| that were supposed to make up the fleet
are not SO certainly known, but had an
attack been meditatsd along our coast
the most powerful vessel would not have
been kept behind to pick up American
merchantmen. The presence of the Min
neapolis and Columbia off the New Eng
| land coast has been interpreted to mean
| that the government took stock in the
story that Spanish vessels were on their
way here and had sent these cruisers out
to watch for them and notify Washington
Of their approach. But these cruisers have
kept close to the coast since they left
Hampton Roads, and have not put ont to
sea as they would have done probably il
they were seeking for fleet supposed to
| be coming across the Atlantic. What we
certainly know of the operations OF
! Spanish vessels is much more consistent
with the theory that they intend to scat
| ter about and raid American commerce,
than that they are to be massed into fleets
and sent to attack our fleets or our coast
cities.
