CHAINED TO A STEAM PIPE.
Passengers Complain of Brutal
Treatment of Spanish Fireman ON
Steamship San Marcos.

Key West, Fla. July "a number
of passengers from the steamer San
Marcos, which arrived from New York
Thursday, called on the authorities
and asked for an investigation of
cruelties to one of the Spanish firemen
of the ship by the chief engineer and
other officers of the ship.
There were five passengers, who
made statements as follows: while
en- route from New York to Key West
one of the Spanish firemen on board
the San Marcos was taken sick, and
told the chief that he was not able to
work. The chief said he would believe
nc such story, and ordered the man to
take his turn stocking. The fireman
tried to work but could not, whereupon
the chief became enraged and chained
his wrists together to a steam pipe.
The other tiremen appealed to the
passengers in behalf of their
comrade and they interceded with the
chief to release the man. The chief
cursed the passengers, but they insist
ed that the man be released from his
agonizing position, the sick man beg
glng to be released, promising that
he would try to work. When the
SildlIlS were taken from the man S
wrists he fell to the floor from weak
ness and exhaustion" 1t is also
claimed that the chief kicked the man.
The chiefs side of the story was that
his force was small, and he could not
spare the man; that he had refused to
work and was put in chains, but de-
MES having struck the man.
On the arrival of the boat at the
wharf the fireman was taken to the
marine hospital of this city. He
claims to have been brutally treated
by the officers of the ship.
Sheriff Hicks went aboard the ship
and arrested the chief engineer, and
the case was taken before United
States Commissioner James G. Jones,
but as the passengers could not prove
that the man was struck while in
irons, and the sick man was not able
to appear, the case was dismissed.
The passengers were not satisfied with
the way the case was, disposed of and
say they will report the matter to the
authorities at Galveston when the ship
arrives there. Complications are also
expected.

TO HOLD UP WAR CLAIM.

Ex-senator Call Said to Have En-
joined United States Treasurer
Shaw.
Tallahassee, Fla, July 6.-It is ru-
mored here that Senator Call has Sc
cured an injunction to restrain United
States Treasurer Shaw from paying
the Florida Indian war claim. The
papers have been served on Mr.. Shaw,
so the story goes, the ex-senator
claiming to be the agent for the state
of Florida for the collection of said
money.
Mr.. Call has about as much right
to set lip such a claim as would Agui-
naldo.
When Senator Mallory was elected
to succeed Senator Call as United
States senator the Florida House of
Representatives passed a concurrent
resolution making Mr.. Call the state
agent for the collection of the Indian
war claim. The state Senate having
failed to concur in this resolution, it
is without force or effect.
Col S. M. Tyson, a Savannah CAPT
talist, is in the city for a few days.

TAKING ENGLAND'S OLD BOOKS
London Times InVeighs Against
Continuous Expectations to United


London, July THE Times this
morning publishes a special article ask
ing whether nothing can be done to
stop the continuous wholesale exporta-
ton of rare and early printed books
and Illuminated manuscripts to the
United States. The article describes
another fine collection of books and
manuscripts which has just been pur-
chased by an American gen
tleman, who does not wish his
name to be disclosed. This
library consists of 700 items. each of
the highest interest and value. 1t was
formed to exemplify the origin and de-
velopment of early illustrated books
and includes thirty-two fine examples
of the Cation press and the very choic-
est manuscripts and printed books from
the late William Morris fine library,
in addition to hundreds of other choice
examples for which the collector of
the library secured Europe for many
years. The formation of another such
collection, says the Times, is scarcely
within the range of possibility.

washington, Nov. 26.-It is inferred
here that the recent killing of Fitzgerald
in Guatemala city by Godfrey Hunter.
Jr.. is to be Investigated by the local au-
thoritJes. A cablegram has been received
at the State Department from United
States Minister Hunter, father of the
young man who shot Fitzgerald, asking
permission for the appearance d BaileS.
the secretary of the United States lega-
from. before the local courts to testify to
the killing. The department has replied
waving all diplomatic immunities that
would interfere with the course of justice.
The effect OF this direction, it is expected,
will be to put the local authorities in po-
sition to fix the responsibility for tina
shooting and to punish any person found
to be guilty.

WESTERN UNION GAINS TIME.
The Pennsylvania Cannot Move Its
Wires December /.


PittsburR. Nov. 26.-The application of
the Western Union Telegraph Company
for an Injunction to restrain the Penn
sylvania Railroad from compelling the
plaintiff company to move its poles and
wires from the right Of way OF the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, by reason OF
the alleged expiration contract between
the companies came up for argument In
the United States Circuit Court before
Judge Burlington today.
An additional bill, accompanied by
petition. was filed today. The bill recftes
that the telegraph lines OF the plaintiff
company, comprise over $4,000 miles OF
poles and cables and over 10000 miles of
wire; that 1t has over $4,000 offices and
Transmits about 65.00000o messages an
nualiy, exclusive of railroad business, Of
fice business of the company and of par
ties having private wires.
The plaintiff company denies the right
Of the defendant to compel the removal
Of the poles and wires Of the plaintiff and
alleges that the purpose Of the attempt
to Dust the Western Union Telegraph
Company from the lines of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad system IL to give the Pos
tai Compan yail the privileges now en-
joyed by the plaintiff company. IT 10
ciaifed that there Is ample room for the
lines for both companies ON the right OF
way Of the defendant company and that
the object of the defendant company is to
destroy the business of the plaintiff COM
pany for the benefit of the Postal Tele-
graph and Cable Company, which 1t al
leges Is contrary to the laws of the Uni
ted States and Pennsylvania.
Judge Burlington decided that the de-
PENDANT company should not attempt to
remove the poles and wires Of the Wes-
tern Union Company until he renders
decision on the application for an injunc-
ton. This will avert the trouble that had
been expected December !, the date of

ness has resumed its normal condition.
The cisarmakers still have q few minor
points under discussion.
The authorities had begun to think that
there was no fear Of further disturbances
but there still remains feeling Of ami

gathering Of crowds In the streets is
still In force.
The Discussion, the organ Of the admin
istraVon, says the Mayor and Diego
Tamayo the acting secretary of civil
government, are responsible for the

Senior Tamayo. Gualberto Gomez, with
General Maxico Gomez, took a promi-
nent part In the settlement of the strike
