Charlotte Harbor Fla, Jan. 3.-Informa- ton has been received on board tue ohi,eo States steamer Montgomery that on the night of December q the revenue cutter Mclean chased a suspicious-looking steam CT and also fired upon her. The supposed filfbuster kept on her course, and as the Sommers N. Smith has not arrived here, It is believed she may have been the vessel fired upon.
 There are three expeditions fitting out, one at Plant City, one at Barlow ani one at Punta Gorda. All the channels are guarded and two more revenue cutters are expected here.

FLORAL QUITE WARLlKE.
Says Americans Have Committed More Atroci-
 ties in Cuba Than Spain Has.

Madrid, Jan. 3.-Senor Pidral, president of the chamber of deputies, on assuming the presidency of the Circulo Conservador tonight delivered an important speech aimed at the reconstruction of the several parties.
 He denounced the liberal policy for re- moving General Weyler; for granting Cu- ban autonomy and urged a loyal following of the policy of the late Senor Canovas. In the course of trenchant attack on the behavior of the United States, he cited tits abandonment of the Monroe doctrine in Haiti in the face of menace from the German warships." t. .z-7f .,,.,
 The speech was greeted with cries of Live the Union Conservatives" Live Spain," and Live the Queen Regent"
 We must remark that the scandalous violation of international right with which America menaces Spain is a consequence of the ignorance of such rights recently shown everywhere by liberals. Witness Poland, Ireland and the political states despoiled by despotism. The indifference of the conservative classes generally has conduced to the present apathy, whereby the world hears unmoved the announce ment of American violation of all right and all law except brutal force.
 How often have I been called the en- emy of progress and of civilization when refusing to applaud a violation of interna- tional rights practiced by nations possess ing a majority of bayonets, mindful that the same process might some day be ap- piled against ourselves. How often have I been censured when quoting pictures of American degeneracy. How often have been ridiculed by those who now suggest war with the American jingoes, when hold ing that the United States, far from the apostles of universal peace, were convert ing the children of Washington and Frank lin into a people of radicals, who while obliged to renounce in Hayti the insolent Monroe doctrine before the guns of the German ironclads, purpose to apply 1t in Cuba, believing the Spanish army is deci- mated by the rigors of the climate.
 Let Spaniards who are opponents of conservative principles confess the injustice of their censures when depicted the mer- cantile spirit of those false humanitarians, burning with indignation respecting our ex- cesses in Cuba. They who exterminated the Indians over the entire territory of Ameri- ca; they who in war of secession commit- ted horrors unequalled by any civilized na- tion in the universe; they who year after year, in the most unjust and most cruel war where the abolition of slavery, instead of being an act of humanity, was simply the strategem of war, exercised the most atrocious tyranny and at the same time perfidy against the southern states-they are the true fathers of the moral great ness and maternal progress of the Ameri can nation." t7

ACT IF OUTRAGED HUSBAND. Thomas Evans, a Blacksmith of
 Meridian, Miss, SHOOTS BEN F. FAIRCHILD The Despoiler of His Home, With Probably Fatal Wounded Man Says
 He Deserved To Be Shot.
SHOOTS BEN F. FAlRCHILD
special to The Age-IIerald.

0peCldi lO 1ue ABe-t1eTdid
 Meridian Miss, Jan. 3.-Tom Evans, a blacksmith employed at the Northeastern railroad shops, shot and it is thought fa- tally wounded Ben F. Fairchild, also an employe of the shops, at the formers home on Haulguy street, tonight about o'clock.
 For some time Evans has been suspecting that Fairchild was intimate with his young wife, and after finishing his supper tonight he left his home, saying that he was going to town. Instead he secreted himself on the premises and soon saw Fairchild, who lived across the street, leave his house, and crossing over enter his CEvans) home
 Stealthily following by the front door, Evans watched and soon saw Fairchild and his wife in a compromising position. He opened fire on the destroyer of his home with a 3S-calibre pistol and fired five shots, two of which took effect, one in the right side, which it is thought pierced the lung, and second which took effect in the head.
 Fairchild fell in the floor, while the guilty wife went screaming to another room. Af- ter emptying his pistol. Evans coolly walk ed to the home of Chief Nelson nearby and gave himself up. He is now in the county jail. Fairchild Is unler the care of phy- sicians, but is thought to be dying. He cannot live.
 Public sympathy is all with the outraged husband, and his course is applauded on all sides.
 Fairchild shortly after the shooting ex- onerated Evans from all blame, and said he deserved to be shot. Fairchild is mar ried and has a family. Mrs. Evans is only about 21 years old and has young child.

BOA CONSTRUCTOR
Ran Editor and Reporters From the Columbia
 Register Office.

Columbia, s. C., Jan. 3.-A boa con- strictor measuring fifteen feet, which es- capped from O. K. Whites dime museum in this city four months ago, was captured in the cellar of the Exchange Loan bank this afternoon by reporter of the Regis ter office in a box and placed near the stove to thaw out. He did so very success fully and ran editors and reporters from the editorial rooms. The serpent was final ly chloroformed by an old snake charmer, who has been in the city since the state fair. The snake Is now in a box in a room by itself, with the lid of the box nailed down with spikes.

London, Jan. 3.-The Times remarks edi- torially this morning that the indifference of the European bourses to Gen. Weylers proceedings is 'solid and satisfactory proof of the increased stability of Spanish politics"
 It says: "Gen. Weyler's whole conduct since he left Cuba has been most represen- sible; and no sef-respecting government could be expected to tolerate such an act as his absurd protest"

"King og MO ..l,-.s io Marry.

"king oi IlSo -.4S-e to Harry. From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 Henry Taylor, a man down in Hardin sounding sobriquet of "King of the Moon- shiners,' some time ago wrote a letter to Deputy Collector David M. May in which he stated that he was going to be mar ried
 The letter was fearfully and wonderfully made. It was drawn in an uncouth scrawl and written in the vernacular with a mo- ticeable disregard of the teachings of or biography. Still, it was sincere and to the point. The King of the Moonshiners inti- mated that as he was man with a past, he was anxious to know if there were any federal indictments out against him, and in consideration of his approaching q ar riage he thought the officers should give him a chance. In word, he intended to take his bride and fly after the fashion of the old-time romance and go away so far and cover up his tracks so effectually that he could not be found. Somehow there was tinge of pathos in the thought that perhaps he might be wanted for violating the revenue laws and torn ruthessly away from the woman he loved, to languish iri iai for uncertain period, awaiting trial and serving sentence.
 But Henry Taylor, the King of the Moon- sinners, need not have any uneasiness about his immediate future, for Deputy Col lector May has written to him that the au- thorities do not want him and he may mar ry in absolute security, and if he does not transgress the law after the ceremony he may live. as novelists say, happily ever afterward.

ILLIAMS ASSAlLED
BY DETECTIVE FROST
Fistic Encounter Growing Out o. the
Expose at the. Agnews
Asylum.

SAN JOSE. July H.-Charles Will
liams, husband Of Olivia Williams, who
was subjected to indignities at the
hands of DIR. Sponogle, had an encoun-
ter with Erwin Frost at the latter's Of
flee this afternoon. Williams received
a black eye, but otherwise was unhurt.
He swore to a warrant before Justice
Gass, charging Frost with battery.
The latter's trial was set for July 49,
and he was released on his own recog-
nizance.
Williams was seen at his home at
Santa Clara tonight. He said that
yesterday evening Frost told him to
tell Trustee White he wanted to see
him. This Williams did, and to-day he
went into .Frost's office to give him

Placed to His
DiSCTedit.
Hitherto Untold History Of
Appointments at
AgnewS.

SAN JOSE, July 14.-On every hand
there was voiced to-day the sentiment
that in view of the revelations pub
lished in The Call of the alleged scan
dalous doings at the Agnews Asylum
nothing less than prompt and sweep
ing investigation would do. 1t can be
stated that a special meeting of the
board of managers is already being
considered in this connection. If this
meeting is called there is no doubt that
It will meet with the hearty approval
of the public
It is argued that there is no neces-
sity for waiting a whole month. Charles
Williams is ready to file his charges
and produce his witnesses at a days
notice. If Secretary Tourtillott and
Mrs. Madigan are innocent Of the i'm
moral conduct charged against them
they should be cleared from suspicion
at the earliest day. If they are guilty
they cannot be dismissed a minute too
soon.
The affidavit of Mrs. Williams, which
appeared in The Call this morning, has
made a deep impression on Chairman
Curnow, though he is extremely 10th to
believe that such conduct as therein
mentioned has been practiced in the
asylum.
Just what is to be done in the case of
DR.. F. NJ. SpOnOgle, the medical super
!ntendent of the institution, none of the
trustees is prepared to say. The ply
siCianS remarkable paSsiVenesS yeSter-
day when the terrible crimes of muir
der and criminal assault were so dra-
matically attributed to him has created
strong presumption in the mind Of
the public that he has a record. He
was appointed to his present position
on the recommendation of DR.. James
r. Curnow, the chairman of the board.
There was a rumor to-day that DIR.
Sponogle had rendered his resignation,
but investigation showed this to be
without foundation.
7. T. Tourtillott, the medical super
intendent's secretary, Is an appointee
of Frank H. Gould, whose half brother
he is. And hereby hangs a tale of per
sonal and political perfdy that is prob
ably unequaled in the annals of the
country. In the role of heavy villain,
vainly and unscrupulously endeavOring
10 lay the foundation for securing the
highest political honor in the gift of
the people, figures Frank H. Gould.
Seemingly made mad by his high
aspirations, caution, decenCy, principle,
pledges and loyalty, even to party, were
cast aside in the desperate effort to
catch a few more possible votes. This
is the story of Gould's almost incon-
ceivable treachery and chicanery as
told by one having actual knowledge of
ali the facts
The Board of Managers of the. Ag-
news State Hospital as now composed
consists of DR.. James r. Curnow
(chairman), Edward White, Frank H
Gould, Isaac Upham and o. a. Hale
The two latter are Republicans and the
other three are Democrats. Shortly
after the appointment of the three
Democrats by Governor Budd there
was considerable discussion on the
subject of the division of the patronage
OF the asylum.
One day Gould and White met at the
asylum and informally talked over tn.
patronage, it being agreed that each
member of the board should have one
