Generals MacArthur and Funston, with Kansas and Montana regiments and Utah battery, have dispersed 800 insurgents entrenched on the railroad beyond San Fernando, near Santa Arita. American scouts were tired upon from the trenches unexpectedly and withdrew. The tiring was heard at San Fernando and General MacArthur assembled his/troops and marched on the city after the scouts. The Montana regiment flanked the trenches on the left and the j Kansas regiment attacked the j enemy's right flank, General | Funston leading the charge at ; double quick. Th?* Insurgent's loss was large, many prisoners being captured and it is reported that twenty Americans were wounded.

Boston, May 23.?The people of Boston are showing deep interest in the address of former Gov. W. J. Northen, of Georgia, who spoUo before the Congregational club here last night but who, through lack of time, was com polled to curtail his Rpecch, although he occupied more than two hours. It was tho general verdict today that the citizens here have never before had such an exhaustive statement of tho attitude of the south on the negro Some of Mr. Northen's state ments did not meet with tho approval of his audience, especially those with reference to Uncle "Tom's Cabin," but tho general favor with which his statements were received was shown by an expression from the floor, when the sj>eaker, prompted * by the chairman, was about to close, bv a person who moved ''that the gentleman t>e permitted to deliver the whole of his arbtraae J# it ? - ? ? .?* ? wwu *A * V w? rvvJO all night." The motion was greeted with applause and the speaker continued for another half hour. Although necessarily restricted as to time, Bishop Arnett, whc spoke for the negro, held the close attention of the audience and as he closed was given a hearty handshake by ex-Gov. Northen and a cordial invitation to visit tho former chief executive of Georgia at Atlanta. PROMINSNT KNAVE OR FOOL. Several prominent clergymen of Boston discussed tho address today, among them being Rev. Dr. J. A. Mamilton, of the Congregational church, who said: ' The ex-Governor evidently tried to give the impression that the colored man is the only offender, that he has a monopoly of the heinous forms of crime which is at the bottom of the greater part of the lynchings. If that is the idea he desires to convey I stamp it as false. 1 had occasion to visit the south a short time since and can truthfully state that the black man has more ground for complaint on this score than the southern white man." Rev. Dr. Edward A. Horton said: "1 think that ex-Governor Northen has greatly exaggerated the true oentiiuent in the south. 1 believe, however, that the judges and the true whito citizens of the south deplore the lynching methods." Good Evidence. It may t>e of considerable in> terest to litigants and lawyers to know that the supreme court of the (Jaited States has decided that records of the Confederate StateH are competent evidence. This decision was made in hearing the case of Sarah A. Oaks vs. the United States. Her case went to the supreme court from the court of claims at Washington. There are thousands of good claims against the government and this decision will supply the ' missing link and admit ^evidence which has heretofore been unavailable.

On the obverse of the marble base is the name "Crozier'' in large letters. On the reverse iide is the following stanza, from Tiara's poem: on, embalmed and sainted de*d Drar hh the blood you gave; No impious footsteps here shall tread The herbage of your grave; Nor shall your glory be forgot While fame iter record keeps, )r honor points the hallowed spot Where valor proudly sleeps " Oo the four sides of the blue narbledie blocks are the followng inscriptions: kCalvin Crozier, born at Branion, Miss., August, 1840. Muriered at Newberry, S. C., SepLemlier, 18G5. "After the surrender of the Confederate armies, while on the way to his home in Texas, was :alled upon at the railroad station at Newberry, S. C., on the night of September 7, 1805, to protect a young white woman temporarily under his charge, from gross insu'ts offered by a negro Federal soldier of the garrison stationed here. "A difficulty ensued in which the negro was slightly cut. The infuriated soldiers seized a citizen of Newtierry upon whom the} were about to execute savage revenge, when Crozier came prompt ly forward and avowed his owe responsibility for the deed, thut refusing to accept safety by alow ing a stranger to receive th< violence intended for himself.

Sam Cbilj ders and Al Feemster, the white j man and negro who were committed to jail last Frida}' pending further investigation of the GiU ' bert Cross mystery, interest iu which was revived by the finding of the skeleton of a human hand on the fianks of Bullock's creek, have been released from custody. Magistrate Plaxico went up to Earl's N. C., and learned that a 1 boy who went by the name of ; Gilbert Cross, and who answered > the description, had fieen working at a saw mill there since the date of Cross's disapjiearance from the k Bullock's Creek neighborhood, and upon his return he ordered the release of the prisoners. This seems to settle the case so far as Gilbert Cross and Childers and Fee meter are concerned, but the identity of the suspicious bones, which the doctors still insist are those of a human being, continue to !>e a source of mystery. The people of the neighborhood are still very much concerned about the matter. Mother and Son Killed by a Train Near Spartanburg. The wheels of the vestibule last night were stained with blood-the blood of a mother and son?who met death beneath then yesterday afternoon two and one-half miles this side of Sp^gtanhurg, S. C.
