SAILORS ON RAMPAGE.
Bound to Lynch Negro - Sheriff
POWePlpSs.

Key West, May 26.-What threatened
to develop into an ugly affair. if not
lynching, occurred last night report
was circulated that a marine had been
shot and killed by negro from IA second
story window. Nobody seemed to know
what had become of the victim or perpe-
traitor, but the report reached the sailors
and marines, the latter of whom We're
enjoying their first days liberty since
arriving here, and they formed into two
battalions and marched on the Jail with
loaded revolvers.
Sheriff Knight met them at the door
and parleyed. assuring them that the
negro was not in custody. The invaders
drew off a short distance and selected
two bluejackets and one marine TO go
through the Jail. the sheriff was power
less tn resist. Twelve negroes were
found in the jail. but as the identity of
the supposed murderer was a mystery
the party was halted. Some of the more
turbulent spirits suggested lynching of
negro on principle. but upon the
sheriff's promising to find and produce
the assailant, if the story were true, the
party left and secured the town in the
hope of coming upon their man.
While returning from the Jail the party
met another jackie, who thought he
could identify the supposed murderer
Another march on the Jail followed, an .
the man looked over the colored prison
ers but failed to identify. There were
cool heads among the marchers, and
they advised giving the sheriff chance
to get Kitchen and two other suspected
negroes named Kidd and Spencer The
party eventually dispersed at a late
hour without further trouble, although
determined to avenge the assaults and
indignities from negroes.
The feeling among the jackies and the
marines against the negro populati ion
is intense, aggravated by the ARRAY of
Tuesday night, when Charles Kitchen.

Their revenge will be quite as we'll salts
fled If Kitchen can be located.
At a late hour squads of marines were
out patrollipg the streets, gathering in
