the members OF several Irish societies, at
a reception given in his honor tonight,
Colonel John f. Blake. leader of the
Irish brigade in the Boer war. made what
he said was his first statement as to the
financial assistance given to Irishmen in
the field by societies in this country. The
statement came as surprise He said
that the Clan -Na-Gael claimed to have
appropriated s15,0Oe with which to bring
home the Irish brigade from South At
rica, and that people now are inquiring
about the expenditure of that money He
disclaimed having received any money
from the organization, and had knowledge
of only two sums of money sent to the
Transvaal.
Blake said he understood that $4,000 was
first sent to bring home a detachment OF
the Chicago Ambulance Corps, but this
was not a fact. The Boer Government
paid the passage of the detachment from
Delagoa Bay to New York and supplied
each man with an additional SO Shortly
after the detachment left Delagoa Bay
the $4,000 was received by United States
Consul Hollis at Delagoa Bay, but as the
detachment sailed before the funds ar
rived. Hollis returned the money TO the
person who sent it and got his receipt.

T1LLMAN MAKES STATEMENT.

Lieutenant Governor James II. Tillman
conducted himself quietly and calmly
during the day in the County Jail, where
he had a comfortable room on the second
floor He had some new furniture
brought to his place of confinement and
made himself comfortable. Visitors called
upon him, but most of the day he spent
in consultation with his lawyers, Con-
gressman George W. Croft, Judge Buch-
anan and Coleman L. Blease.
Two of his counsel gave to the press,
with a request that it be published, the
following statement prepared by Till
man:
II can only say that when the truth of
the unfortunate affair is known my
how thoroughly l was justified in doing
as I did.
"The statements already published in
the newspapers are untrue, and at the
PROPER time this 1 will be ready to show.
Beyond this / don't care to make any fur
ther statement.
JAMES H. TILLMAN."
II is understood here that Colonel Till
mans line Of defense will be that he
thought Gonzales was armed, that he saw
a weapon in the EDITORS coat pocket and
that Gonzales had his hand in his coat
pocket. He is said to contend that he
had every reason to believe that Gonzales
was armed. Gonzales friends say that he
was not armed.
Tillman will claim that when he raised
the pistol the second time at Gonzales he
did so expecting Gonzales to defend him.
L.
there was no response, and not because
of anything Gonzales said. Tillman, it Is
understood. will contend also that he had
not met Gonzales before. This is denied
by Gonzales friends, who say Gonzales
and Tillman were in the same chamber al
the State Capitol together.
Mrs. Tillman and Mrs. George B. Till
man are expected here tonight.
