SPAIN WAS ON The WkRPATH
TOOK ARMED POSSESSION OF
THE FAMILY CASTLE.
Drove Out His Father, Beat His Old
Mother, Fired a Shot, and
Then Fled.

About 7:30 o'clock last night tele-
phone message received at police head
quarters announced that state OF war
existed at the Spain residence, Z3Z9 r
street.
1t was subsequently learned that
Frank Spain, Pats eldest son, mad
taken possession, armed with a shot
gun, and after a valiant struggle had
succeeded in evicting his mother ana
his father, and then proceeded TO de-
molish everything in sight.
Young Spain, it is said abused his
old mother shamefully, and struck her
q cruel blow on the forehead, which
laid open the scalp.
After his parents had been evicted
in a manner to suit his taste, the youth
fired a shot from his fowling- piece, but
whether he intended to salt" the crowd
which had gathered in front of the
house, or only to show that he was
holding the fort, is not known.
Patrol Driver Fitzgerald, the only
available officer when the call was sent
in, went to the seat of war But he
was sufficient, for when the patrol wag
on ratified up to the Spain fortress,
Frank beat a hasty retreat by way of
the back door and started for Twenty
fifth street.
When Fitzgerald arrived the blood
was streaming down Mrs. SPANS face,
and the interior or the house was a
wreck Every window had been
smashed to smithereens, but the bellig-
erent and his shotgun had disappeared
Fitzgerald followed with his patrol
wagon, and when Twenty fifth and .
streets was reached he saw the brave
youngster in the act of hiding his shot
gun under a water-trOugh in front OF
Vineyards store. Young Spain saw the
hurry-up wagon coming, and rushing
into Vineyards barn he hid away
among the bales of hay, whence he
was dragged a minute later by the tall
officer.
After Fitzgerald had secured the
young man he fished the shotgun out
from under the water-trOugh, and ten
minutes later young SPANS spree had
come to an end in the citys bastile.
lie had in his pockets fifteen cartridges
loaded with heavy shot, and was evil
IDENTIFY out cunning for big game. He
had been on a protracted spree, but
appeared fairly sober when he was
landed in jail.

Nature has a large heart, and she en-
dows US bountifully when she launches
us on earth But many men do not re-
spect her gifts as they ought to do.
They seem to believe that she will al
ways respond when called on for great
vitality. She cannot. The time comes
when she refuses to be stimulated, and
then the result is shown in a srnau
or weakened growth of what should be
a perfect man. This abuse Of the priv
ileges bestowed often leads to despair
on the part of those who have been
foolish. They fear their hands and
legs tremble, and the fact is ever pres
ent with them that they are plmy

SURE 1T WAS ACCIDENT,
Cabinet Sure the Spaniards Couldn't
Have Blown Up Maine.

Have Blown Up Maine.
Washington, February 1S.-The only
absentees from today's Cabinet meeting
were Secretaries Sherman and Alger.
During the meeting, the disaster to the
Maine was the principal topic of dis
oussion. Secretary Long read cablegram
from Captain Sigsbee giving an account
of the funeral yesterday of the nineteen
victims Of the explosion. 1t appears that
unusual and in some respects extraordi-
nary evidences of respect and sympathy
were shown by the Spanish authorities
and people.
Although the President and the MEM
bers of the Cabinet await with interest
the result of the inquiry into the cause OF
the disaster, there remains practically no
doubt in their minds that 1T was an acct
dent, purely, and such as might happen
at any time. This view OF tne maveer
however will not influence the President
| to stop short of most searching inyesti-
CATION into all the facts, present and re-
mote, that may have any possible bearing
upon the case, or throw upon 1t single
raw of light Until facts are shown to the
contrary the President will assume that
the explosion came from within and was
not the result OF lfeacbery On bno pdft OF
any one. The President is receiving a
large number of congratulatory messages
commencing him for the course he has
pursued in this matter as well as in the
case of the late Spanish minister, de
LONE.
The President announced to the Cabi-
net that he would send bouquet of
flowers to Mrs. Sigshee, decision VIII ich
was approved by the Cabinet and accord
ingly Ensign Kettle, son in law of Capt.
Sigsbee was summoned from the Navy
denea with an immense bouquet tied with
white satin ribbons. Floral tributes
were also ordered to he sent to the
families of the six members of the Names
crew living here, who met their deaths IN
the explosion.
