GUARD POISONED
At PENITENTIARY
N. P. briggs Drinks Milk and
Becomes Violently Ill
Prisoner Also Affected.
FLUID IS BEING TESTED
BELIEVED TO BE PART OF PLOT
FOR ESCAPE.

What is believed to have been an at
tempt TO poison Guard n. P. briggs, at
the penitentiary, for the purpose of max
ing wholesale delivery of prisoners.
was discovered Monday night, when the
guard and convict were suddenly at
tackled by violent illness. after drinking
some milk which had been left in the
south cell house
Guard briggs was stationed inside the
walls of the south cell house and par
took Of small quantity of milk which
was IN pan on one of the windowsills.
The milk was from the prison dairy. and
had been on the window ledge but short
time.
Almost Immediately after drinking the
milk Guard briggs was seized with
cramps and violent retching He called
for help and was relieved from duty, an
other guard taking his place.
DR.. A. G. Young, the prison physician,
was summoned immediately. and after
working on the case for several hours,
pronounced briggs out of danger.
Prisoner Also Affected.
The prisoner who was similarly at
tackled was William 9. IhOpSon, serving
seven years for participation in box
car murder which occurred near Brigham
City two years ago. HOpson is clerk of
the south cell house and has certain lib
critics not enjoyed by other prisoners
The illness from which the prisoner and
the guard suffered was similar and il is
the opinion of the prison officials that
the men were poisoned
The fact that the inner guard carries
the KEYS to the tiers OF cells, and to the
gate gives a possible motive for the at
tempt. If the prisoners had been able TO
secure these KEYS they would have had
access to the prison yard, and would have
had a chance 10 make a dash for liberty
having only the wall guards TO face
The fact that pan Of milk taken from
the dairy at the same time as the one
from which Guard briggs drank and was
poisoned, was taken TO the north cell
house, and those who used it suffered no
i'll effects, leads the prison authorities to
believe that the milk was poisoned.
Samples of the milk we're taken to
State Chemist Herman Harms for anal
ysis, and as soon as the tests are com
pleted an investigation will be begun bv
the prison officials
1t is thought that in the event the milk
was poisoned, a prisoner who was march
ing into his cell house may have had a
chance to slop the poison into the pan
without being detected.
It is believed that the milk was poi
soned before the prisoners were locked
up for the night, in the hope that the at
tack of illness would strike the guard al
such a time as would enable the pris-
oners to secure his keys. and make an eff
fort to escape in the confusion that would
follow.
In the event that no plot was ATTEMPT
ed for the purpose OF escape. il is thought
that the poison was placed in the milk
by prisoner out of simon pure mean
ness and malice.

the number of injured is very great
Bring Alarming Reports.
People who have arrived here from
Valparaiso. however. confirm the
alarming reports of the extent of the
catastrophe, but they declare that the
local authorities have taken the most
energetic measures to maintain order
and prevent pillaging. All persons
caught committing robberies are shot
on the spot. The people arriving here
estimate that 50 per cent of the build
inss in the Terre Mote district have
been destroyed by fire.
All reports agree in saying that the
Almendral and the southern districts
of Valparaiso suffered the most severe
ly. According TO some of the reports
Valparaiso may be said to have been
totally destroyed, il being asserted that
nearly all the houses which remained
standing have been so shaken that they
must be pulled down. One of the traV-
elerS who arrived here today saws that
more than 200 persons were killed in
that part of Valparaiso known as the
port and that 500 persons were injured
there, but it is impossible to verify
his statement.
The majority of the inhabitants of
Valparaiso are camped on the hills sur
rounding that city, the parks and main
thoroughfares, and many have sought
refuge on board the vessels at anchor
in the bay. Martial law continues there

GENERAL GOMEZ
LEADS REBELS
Trouble in Cuba Has Not Yet
Arrived at the Real Revolt
tionary Stage.


Havana, Aug. 21-Secretary of State
and Justice O'Farrill, who was acting
secretary of the interior, is rumored to
have resigned from the cabinet. His
action was due TO pique, because Presi-
dent Palma criticised him for not being
in close touch with the insurrection-
airy movement and for not strongly
grasping the situation. This culminat
ed in the appointment yesterday of
General Rafael Montalvo. secretary of
public works, to take direct charge of
all the military operations against the
insurgents.
The Cuban government has been pos
itively informed that General Jose Mi
guel Gomez, who was candidate for
the presidency. has left Yaguajay,
province of Santa Clara, accompanied
by a band OF insurgents. His visit to
the United States last winter is said to
have been for the purpose of purchas-
ing arms. The authorities of Santa
Clara province have been ordered to ar
rest General Gomez. His secretary.

Several Arrests Made.
Several armed men We're arrested on
the roads leaving this city last night
and this morning. Many people are
coming into Havana, fearing to remain
in the country.
A band of about dozen armed in
surgents while endeavoring to pass I'M
observed near the city waterworks at
Paletino last night, were ordered to
halt. They replied with volley and
then disappeared.
The authorities are endeavoring to
prevail upon young men to volunteer

there as a result of the insurrection is
increasing.
Favorable to Government.
Later in the day Senior O'Farrill de-
MED having resigned and said that ev-
erything looked favorable for the gov
eminent.
Rafael Duany a nephew of General
Demetrio Castillo, is reported to be en-
deavoring to organize an insurrection
in the province of Santiago.
A detachment of 300 rural guards ar
rived here today from central Cuba and
proceeded to the province of Pinar Del
Rio. where they will reinforce the rural
guards who are operating against the
insurgents.
1t is feared by the inhabitants that
the city of Pinar Del Rio will be occu-
pied by the insurgents tonight
The troop train which arrived here
from the east today only transferred
100 men and horses to the western rail-
road, and these were forwarded TO the
city of Pinar Del Rio.
The remainder of the trainload elev-
en- cars, were dropped at various points
in Santa Clara, Matanzas and Havana
provinces.
Indications tonight are that the revolu-
ton in western Cuba already has prac-
tically reached its maximum.

NEGRO TROOPS
PLANNED RAID
Tragedy at Brownsville, Tex,
Result of Racial Feeling
MurdererS Not Arrested.

Washington, Aug. 21.-General Aims
worth today made public a report re-
Ceived from Major Blocksom, of the in
spector generals department, who is in
vestigating the trouble between the citi-
zens of Brownsville. Tex, and the negro
troops stationed at Fort Brown. The
telegram says:
Causes Of disturbances are racial The
people did not desire colored troops here
and showed they thought them inferior
socially by certain Sights and denial Of
privileges at public bars, etc. The soldiers
resented this There were several indi-
vidual encounters between soldiers and
citizens. About midnight of the 18th a
party of soldiers, probably nine to fiji
teen. made a raid through several squares
of the town. firing 10 to $50 shots, killing
bartender and dangerously wounding a
lieutenant of police. They also fired into
several houses where women and children
narrowly escaped being shot.
Raid Preconcerted.
THE raid lasted from eight to ten min
utes. The claim is made that citizens
fired first, but 1 believe this to be with
out foundation Although the act was
probably preconcerted, i do not think the
commanding officers could have fOreSeen
IL. The citizens cannot Identify individual
raiders and the authorities have made no
demand for them. An investigation is
now on, but as yet has disclosed nothing
The commanding officers today invited a
committee of three citizens to assist in
conducting the investigation. The people
are steill in a state of great nervous ten
sion and the men nearly all carry arms
at night. The women and children are
still frightened. l consider il necessary

White Troops En- Route.
The war department today received
dispatch from General McCaskey, COM
handing the Department of Texas, stat
ing that a company of the Twenty-sixth
infantry had left the maneuYer camp
near Austin. Tex. for Fort Brown on
special train. and probably would arrive
there today. The battalion of the TWEEN

to Fort Ringgold, which at present is I'M
occupied as soon as the company of the
Twenty siXth infantry arrives.

INJUNCTION SUIT BY
JAMES A. ROY HEIRS
Filed Against Atlanta and Birmingham
Airline Railway to Prevent
Laying of Track.

Charles Roy ct al-Mrs Cecilia Roy, the
widow, and the thirty-five heirs residing
in various parts of the United States and
Canada, of James A. Roy. deceased, VS..
the Atlanta and Birmingham Air Line
railway, was the style of a suit filed in
the chancery court yesterday to enjoin
the defendant from laying tracks along
Tenth avenue, between Twenty-fourth
and Twenty-hfth streets.
The bill of complaint shows that the
said James A. Roy was. during the course
of his lifetime, the owner of lot s in
block 619. fronting 100 feet along the ave-
nue. in question, and that he had made
improvements to the extent of erecting
a storehouse on the corner and five res
licences along the block, from which
considerable revenue in rents is derived
The bill claims that the laying of the
tracks contemplated will have the effect
of generally lessening the value and de-
STABILITY of the abutting property and is
somewhat similar to the suits which have
been heretofore filed against the different
railroads that are constructing additional
approaches to the new union passenger
station.

SHORT WEIGHT CASE
RESULTS IN FINE
Newt Smith Assessed $50 for Selling
Short-Weight Sacks of Meal-An
interesting Case.

AS a result of another short weight case
which was tried yesterday before Judge
Feagin, Newt Smith of Smith Bros. & Co..
was fined $50 for violating the city s
weights and measures ordinance.
Smith. it SENS, buys meal outright from
the Gadsden mills and sells it to re-
tail dealers, for the weights marked on
the sacks, and pays the Gadsden mills
by the weights marked on the sacks. Five
sacks were weighed by Inspector Duncan
and were found to be seven pounds short
In all. The defense attempted to show
that Mr. Smith received absolutely no
benefit from this short weight but the
court held that, in spite of the fact that
he was guilty of no criminal intent, he
was guilty of violating the law, and ae-
cordingly the fine was imposed.
Judge Feagin stated yesterday that d
mill man who had testified before him
had said that the mills were forced by
their customers, in some instances, TO
send them short weight sacks of meal
and flour, and that in a great many in
stances. different weights were sent to
adjacent localities. The judge stated, how
ever, that he intended to fine every dealer
who was brought before him and found
guilty and that he hopes by this means
to break up the practice to a certain
extent.
