 Columbus, Miss, July 19-Dan H. Gl- lian, Mobile plumber, who had been in this city only a few days, was shot and killed this morning at the city hall at 8 o'clock. The weapons used were shotguns and they were in the hands of Thomas Gun ter and Will Gunter, two estimable citizens, father and uncle of little girl that Gil- Han attempted to assault. Gunter is the proprietor of the Gunter house here, and Gillian had been stopping there for two or three days. He Was drinking heavily last night, and this morning about half past seven entered MT. Gunter's bedroom and in the absence of the parents of the sweet little 9-year-old daughter attempted an un- mentionable crime. He was detected by the hired boy, and ran for the Southern de- pot.
 He was captured by a posse and returned to the city hall, and it was there the father and uncle of the little girl ran upon him. They commenced firing at him with pistols and as he fled from the city hall and down a the steps he was shot at with shotguns. Wounded, the man sought refuge in the fire. engine house, when the officers tried to save him. The infuriated relatives of the little girl could not be stopped, and Gillian was run out. As he ran past the father of the girl load of buckshot from a we'll aimed gun struck him in the side and back. He reeled, staggered, then measured his full length upon the ground corpse>
 The body laid in the streets some time, but was carried into the calaboose, from which place it was put into a cheap pine coffin and buried in the Potters field.
 The trial of the Gunters occurred. few hours after the killing and they were dis charged. Public sentiment here universally indorsed the killing.

 and along the west side of the line there were additional works and emplacements for guns, though no guns were mounted in them.
 The streets of Santiago are crooked, mar row lines of one-story houses. most of which are very dilapdated; but almost every. house was thronged by it's curious inhabitants and disarmed soldiers. These were mostly of the lower classes.
 shouts for Cuba Libre
 Few expressions of any kind were heard along the route. Here and there was shout for free Cuba from some Cuban sympathizer, but a rule there were only low mutterings.
 The better class of Spaniards remained in doors or satisfied their curiosity from behind drawn blinds.
 Several Spanish ladies in tumbled. down carriages averted their faces as we passed. The squalor in the streets was frightful. The bones of dead horses and other ami mals were bleaching in the streets. and buzzards. as tame as sparrows, hopped aside to let us pass.
 The windows of the hospitals, in which there are over 1,500 sick men, were crowd ed with invaiids. who dragged themselves there to witness our incoming. In one square a relic of an old n.erry-go-round told of happier days, but on every side there were evidences or the pit'lesS siege and of starvation The palace was reached soon after 10 o'clock. There General Toral introduced General Shafter and the other American generals to the alcade. Senor Forre, and to the chief of police, Senor Cutilerrez, as well as to the other municipal authorities.
 Luncheon at the Palace
 Luncheon was then served at the palace The meal consisted mainly of rum, wine, coffee, rice and toasted cake. This scant fare occasioned many apologies on the part of the Spaniards, but it spoke eloqeuntly of their heroic resistance. The fruit supply of the city was absolutely exhausted and the Spaniards had nothing to live on ex- cept rice on which the soldiers in the trenches of Santiago have subsisted for the last twelve days. In addition, the water supply of the city had been cut off for the last few days.
 Since the refugees left Santiago and the surrender of the city was seen to be in- evitable, reign of terror has existed The citys business was stopped, the stores were lowed license to sack and plunder at will.
 At noon, after the American flag had been raised General Shsftsr turned the city over to General McKibben, who, with the Ninth infantry, will enforce order in conjunction with the civil authorities.
