DIES FROM HIS INJURIES.
San Jose Carpenter Fatally Hurt
 While Hauling a Cannon.

SAN JOSE, June 11.-Henry Starkey, who with Horace Moody was injured last evening while hauling to the Court house cannon with which to fire sa- lute at the clerks meeting, died this afternoon.
 In some unaccountable way the con- nection between the gun and caisson became unfastened, and the tongue flew up and frightened the team, which ran away. Both men were thrown heavily to the ground. Starkey was badly bruised about the head, sustaining a fracture of the skull. His left shoulder was fractured and he was also injured internally. Starkey was removed to the Receiving Hospital, but never re- gained consciousness.
 Moody was badly injured and a num- Der of bones in his left hand were frac- tured.
 Starkey was a carpenter by trade and about 46 years of age.

ment in both houses of Parliament
met in the Senate chamber at 5
O'Clock this afternoon sanor Sagas-
ia, the premier, addressed them as
follows:
..The times are 80 grave and the
circumstances are 80 exceptional that
acts and not words are necessary to
face the present difficulty Attempts
are being made 10 sully the glorious
history ef Spain by Infamous calum-
ny The different Spanish Gov
ernments have done their utmost to
avert the war to which we are being
provoked We have now reached the
limits of concession, compatible with
honor and territorial integrity We
consented to the last concession at
the instance Of the Pope and the
the Powers We yielded, but now
attempts ale made upon our honor,
and meances directed againat our ter
ritory That is a thing to which
Spain will never consent (Applause. J
This is rot the moment to trace
a parliamentary programme, but
the moment to unite ourselves,
as our fathers have done, in the face
of an odious attempt against the
integrity of our territory. The in-
suit offered US to- day is the most in
famous that has ever been offered I"

siastic cheers greeted the speech
The ministers met to-day TO modl
fy the speech from the Throne, in
conformity with the situation.
Senor SiIvela, leader of the dIssi
dent Conservatives, when addressing
his party, declared it "inopportune.
to formulate political programme. "
He evoked the memory of the late
Senor Canovas del Castillo, and de-
clared that he and his party would
aid the Government by voting as
should be necessary for the national
defence, without any opposition, al
though making note OF the reeponsi
hility incurred in order to ihvesti-
gate it, if need be, at more op-
perfume time He declared also that
the dissident Conservatives would
respect whatever financial arrange
ments the Government might enter
into, no matter what these might cost,
as it was the ''only meens of secur
ing later on peace with honor.

Tillman's Good Work.

Senator Tillman is doing good work
in Washington for South Carolina
He Is a whole team in himself and
loses no opportunity to advance the
interests of his state Among o'her
things, we note that he has taken a
great deal Of interest in the Port
Royal naval station, which has been
kicked and cufed about by the fed
eral authorities as if IL was never
worth serious consideration, although
Port Royal barbor is deep enough
and big enough TO float the combined
navies of the world, and it's location
on the South Atlantic seaboard would
seem to indicate that it is the one
place above all others that needs
first class dry dock We presume
that Senator Tillman deserves more
credit than any o,het man for the in
crease in the appropriation for that
point of $85. coo, as passed by the
house, to $3.50. .o0o.-Yo,k Yeoman.
