The Liberals and Moderates Clash^in a 1

Hotel\ in Which Six People Are

A dispatch from Havana, Cuba,
aays official dispatches have been re- ?
tcelvcd from Clenfu6^09 on Friday afternoon
announcing the killing of j
Congressman Enrique Viliuendas, i
leader of the Liberal party and the
mo'it able orator of the lower house,
and the chief of pollen of Clenfuegos,
during a coDlllct between the two (
political parties, the Liberals and
Moderates, The tfoverument advlcis
Hay the police had information that !
within the hotel in which Villuendas |
resided a quant by of arms had been
deposit*, d and they went to the hotel i
to investigate the matter. As the
polic i ascended the stairs they wore j
met by a party of L'berals who fired
nu mem, Killing unier or I'jiice ill ail- ,
o. The police returned the tire kill- ,
log Vllluetidas and wounding several (
others Intense excitement prevailed
at Clenfuegos and Havana. ,
As the news spread throughout Ilav- ]
ana the Liberals and Moderates are i
rapidly gathering in their respective i
clubs and it is feared that unless the
leaders give wise coiipsel a clash may i
result. A dispatch to the Associated ]
Press from Clenfuegos says that about
six pers? lis were killed and 25 wouudtd
during the conflict. i
Dispatches to the government say
that besides Congressman Villuendas j
and Chief of Police lllance two policemen
were killed and a number of
policemen and civilians wounded. Rural
guards surround the entire block in
which the Hotel Suizo, the scene of
the affray, in situated. One telegiam
says that "Villuendas tired the shot
which killed the chief o* police, while
according to another telegram tire
Nhot was lired by .J >se Ferpand( z, a
Liberal, who has b u ar.csted.
A search of the hotel revealed two
dynamite bombs in the room occupied
by Villuendas. The police in searoh/v
the hotel were o*rrylug out the
order of a judge who was informed
that explosives were bidden there.
The government has received a tele
gram from Senator Frias asking for
reinforcements at once. Toe tele
gram says: "While in Cienfuogo* at |
j/tvnvLi v i-i w iui u'Oi*) <n13 ivp; uK uiuuf i
^ every precaution Is needed as there 1
Is danger of assault. I recommend
that the authorities prevent the entrance
Into Cienf urges of probable
trouble makers woo are liable to In
vade the city. Tnere are fears of
dynamite bon b throwing." <
Acting on the advice of Senator
Frlaa, the government. Friday even- ing
sent a train of live cirs load d ,
with rural guards, the largest number
of whom are destined for Oienfuogos, ,
while the others will be distributed In
Mantanzas and Santa Clara, where
advices received by the government
indicate serious trouble may occur at
any time.
The train also darries artillery and
the troops are supplied with 111 000
rounds of ammunition. The feeling
in Havana Friday night is most in
tense. The L'berals are bitterly de
nouncing the government, saving they
have received no advices from Gien
fuegos because the government will
not permit the use of either the gov
ernment telegraph lines or of the cable
r . ' lines.
DoHortt'd UIh Wile,
The Augusta Chronicle says a young
married lady, a former resident of
that city, but now of Greenville, S
C., and who has been in Augusta for
the last three days on a visit, is
strard d here without money Or personal
belonging Of any vaIuo Her
husband has apparently deserted her,
departing with her jewels and their
money to another city?Atlanta, it is
thought. This act was made known
Thursday morning when the young
lady created no llotle excitement at
the union station by Instituting a
search for her mining hu. band, whom
she wu? to hii-vo met at the depot.,
and by proclaiming amid.-tt t"ars and
sob* that her b tter half had deserted
her, taking the jowels and money
with him. A kind-hearted'colored
I matron proffered her services, wide;
were accepted, and the two visited
the ticket office, the baggage and express
offices, in search of some clue
which would lead to the finding of. the
recreant husband. By this tlnr.e quite
I a number of people had become inter
est.ed In the lady's esse?she had made
no effort to keep It from being known
?and with their help a olu^ was
found. He had expressed bis trunks
* ( to Atlanta, and the record of this act
was on the exress company's booss.
Damage Hult.
Mrs. N. J. Fuller has entered suit
against 32 cltizans Of Greer, for $10,000
damages alleging I bat they sur
rounded her hou^e when she was ill
causing her great pain and almoet
causing death. Tne mob was after
her husband who was wanted for
keeping a blind tiger but was never
convicted.

MANY LOAFERS
[die Men Who Will Hot Work for
Love or Pay.
The Vagrant I^aw Should be Enfor*
cod AgaiiiHt lillo Negroes anil
Idle White Alon.
The Augusta Chronicle says: "With
contractors and others employing laborers
complaining that work Is being
delayed owing to the scarcity of day
laborers, and the farmers clamoring
for field hands, to gather the fast maturing
crops, it is a fact that Augusta
<s infested with the negro loafers,
able bodied men who do not work, who
are not hunting for work, who do not
want work and who will not accept
work, even at fancy prices.
These negroes can 1)8 seen by the
hundreds every day. They are loafers
around certain bars and localities
They can be seen In twos, fours and
in groups of a dozen or more. How
they live is v.oil known?being supported
by negro women who are at
work, and requiring very little on
which to > ubslbt All they waut is an
occasional short Job, to secure the
price of a drink. It is believed that
the stoiling now going on, the night
ly robbery of stores and dwellings, can
he traced to this class.
"There are laws on the statute
books of G.orgia, and the City Code,
with which to handle these loafers,"
said a well know contractor Thursday,
"and what is puzzling ins is that the
slty police and the county authorities
[Jo not force them either to go to work
jr leave the city, ir they will not work
n the city, run them Into the rural
districts, where they are so Indly
needed by the farmers. Let them
understand that tt Is go to work or
move on in Augusta. Tae new solicitor
of the city court could begin ills
term of otlico with' a popular nr?v3tnent,
a crusade against the loafers of
the city."
4'1 sent out for several laborers a
day or two ago, needing them badly,"
said another clt'zoo Thursday, who is
at the head of a well known corporation,
44and whbo a uumber of loating
negroes were to be fouud, on all sides,
not a one wanted any work to do.
They could not be hired. A c tier of
wages above what is usually glv^n day
laborers In Augusta was turned
down "
44 the scarcity of Laborers is not due
to any extraordinary building boom
or to the fact that there is any large
public improvement in progress," said
an architect when seen in reference
to the matter. 44It is true that there
are a number of improvements in progress,
as well as buildings in the
eoute of erection, but no more than is
usual at this favorable time of the
year. The trouble being experienced
is duo in a large measure to the fact
that negroes do not want t) work and
tOip nlt.v anrl p/Mint-.u DnHwirHiAu n
WW J ?..w .-vx iiliu y nuuuwjiuiVtl UliUH
them to live idio audi profligate liven.
The continued enforcement of the
vagrancy laws of the state and city
w jultl in a large extent, In my oplu
ion, remedy the trouble."
Around on cotton block, where the
lleecy staple Is coming in at the rate
of from 3,000 to 6,000 bales of cotton
oer day, it was learned that there Is a
scarcity of reliable laborers, and in
consequence considerable delay Is being
experienced in handling the receipts.
Good.handp, who known how
to truck aud work about cotton are in
demand arc! can tind euiplo>ment.
A Chronicle reporter made a round
of the sections in the business canter
of the city, where it is complained
that these negro loafers can be found
Idling away their time. The conditions
were found just as rep >rted
From hoard street to the river on Mc
Kinue street is a favorite place, and
just 38 were found in groups. Inquiry
developod the fact that few of
tnese were ever seen to work more
than a day or two at the time. On
Center street, Bridge It >w, about the
many negro cook shops on side streets,
and as hangers on near bars, they
were found in idleness.
In the southern section of the city
It is fraid that hundreds of loadog ue
grocs can b? spen daily. -Gentlemen
who have closely investigated declare
that they can bo found doing noth ng
day after day, and are generally
known to exist by their wits. The
demand for a crusade against the loaf
ers of tne city Is general. Roco<n zed
as a dead weight to any community,
It is argued that they should be
forced to go to work or move on.

LUCKY ESCAPE.
Large Passenger Steamer Rammed
at Sea by a Schooner.
BOTH SHIPS SAVED.
Six Passengers and Two Officers of the
Steamer Were Injured. The Collision
Took Place as the Steamer
was Rounding Cape Cod
on Her Regular Trip.
Tho injury of six passengers and two
of tho ship's officers by a oolllson at
sea was reported by tho steamer Juniata
of the Merchants and Miners'
Transportation company, bound from
Boston for Baltimore and Norf ilk.
which returned to Bos to a, Thursday
afternoon, badly damaged. The Juniata
was rammed Wednesday night JO
miles e ll Chatham by the fivemasted
schooner Ilarwood Palmer, bound
from Baltimore for Portland, Me.,
with a cargo of coal. The injured:
Mr. and Mrs. Friedell, Pittsburg,
badly bruised.
L J. W. Jolinson, North Abington,
Mass., leg broker; injured internally.
Condition serious.
Mr. and Mrs. JobnO. Murray, South
Boston, bruised .and badly shaken up.
Corporal J. J. Mattingly, United
States marine corps, hands cut.
Capt. Z Nickerson of the Juniata,
injury to hands.
Q larter master John Crockett, hands
cut and bruised.
No one on hoard the schooner was
injured.
That the accident did not result In
a general loss of life ou the steamer is
considered remarkable by everyone on
hoard. The steamer had a great hole
stove in her starboard 3ide amidships,
her cabins from that point forward
were ripped and torn into kindling
wood, her pilot hcuie was wrecked
i ana the foremast and smokestack
were carried away. The J uni '.ta returned
to her dock here Thursday afternoon
and landed her passengers.
Arrangements were mado to transfer
the cargo. The Palcner lost her jib
boom, bowsprit and headgear.
Too accident ( ccurred at 9 50 o'clock
Thursday night when the Juniata was
steaming aioung Gape God. A fog
hung over the water and the Bteamer'h
speed had been reduced somewhat.
Capt. Nick :rson was in the pilot house
directing the movement cf his ship.
Suddenly the lookout shouted a warn*
I ing that a big vessel was to the star
board and bearing down on the steam
er rapidly. Gapt. Nickerson ordered
the v/heel put hard over and the engines
reversed but even as his order
was being executed the Hipping of
huge sails and shouts of alarm were
heaid and in less than a minute from
the time the lookout gave his warning
the steamer was struck a terrific blow
squarely amidships on the starboard
side. Immediately following the first,
crash the schooner scraped along the
side of the steamer, her spars and rigging
turning the upper deck into a
mass of wreckage. The state rooms
and the pilot house were torn apart
-as though made of paper. The immense
jib boom of the schooner after
unrjotiog the state room and pilot
house became imbeddled in the upper
works and was snapped off short.
All aboard the steamer remained
cool and there was not the slightest
~ * - i- -
cviuonoi; ui <i patue. as a precautionary
moasure the lifeboats were made
ready by the crew and sailors not thus
engaged went to the assistance of a
number of the passengers who were
vigorously working on the mass of
debris In which several other passengers,
Oapt. Nickerson and Quartermaster
Crockett were burled. It was
found that J. W. Johnson was the only
person seriously injured. Ills state
room was almost opposite the spot at
which the schooner struck and was
buried iu toe mass of wreckage. His
right leg was broken and he sustained
Internal Injuries and cuts about the
head and face.
The schooner, although damaged,
signalled that she was in no danger.
Both vessels remained at the scene until
daylrght, when the extent of the
injuries sustained by each was learnea.
The hole in the side of the J unlata
was found to be live feet above the
water line.
Capt. Nickerson decided it would be
safer to steam back to Bostou. The
uninjured pa.sseugcrs were sent to
Providence by train, whence they proceeded
to their destination on the
steamer E^sex.

ltobb.)(l tho Navy.
A dispatch from Toklo says information
has been made public that three
r.aval paymasters have eihb.zzled
$105,000 of government funds. The
announcement has been calmly received
by the public, but the knowledge
that the commission of the crime
extended over the period of ai year
without discovery may, it is said,
ause a feeling of distrust and uneasslness
towards the naval administration
?nd furnish a weapon to the politic a

18 HE A HIGHWAYMAN.
Mariou? Charge Codgod Against Ofll
cor of National Hank of Denver.
A strange story comes from Denver
Col. P&ytng teller of the Denve
National Hank In the day time ant
highwayman at night, Is the exlstenct
laid bv the Denver police at the duo
of Wm. V. Wright.
The Htory of tho alleged double lift
of tho young man, which his manj
friends have vainly attempted to sup
pre&s, came as a thunderbolt, and tht
exclusive circles in which the younji
man moved are agog with excitement
The young man, well dressed and ol
gentlemanly demeanor and not in tht
lea3t having the hangdog appearance
usually expected of a hold-up man
was brought into the police station a!
the city hall shortly after midnight
Saturday morning in tho patrol wagoi
in custody of Patrolman J as. Cum
mings, who hud recolved him from ?
seventeen-year old boy, Charlie Mo
0 1j 1 is, one of the tinkers of Oouitj
Judge Llndsey's juvenile court.
According to McGillls and the vie
tims of the alleged hold up two men
Samuel Shark, a shoemaker, and B
Bushvinslry, a carpenter, both raei
thlrifty Hebrews, who live ill the
Went Side of Denver, had been dowi
t?wn late attending a meeting an(
seeing their friends and were walkim
iiome. They had crossed the bridgi
over the Platte river when they wer<
seized and a demand made for thoi
money. Instead of complying the:
called for help when the hold-up mar
whipped out a revolver and, eockinj
it, said he would kill them if the:
uttered another sound.
McGllits, who lives near tho scene
heard the cry for aid. rushed out witl
a loaded club In hand and found fchi
robber still with the gun ready foi
action. The lioid up man attempted
to turn the guu on tho lad, win
rappod him over the head with hii
billy and took the revolver away. Mc
GUlls called for help and walked hli
prisoner until ho met Patrolman Cum
mlngs.
Oa the way toward police hcadquar
ters tho young man admitted that Ik
was paying teller of a bank with
twelve millions in deposltsand beggec
his ciplors to let htm go, saying thai
he would be ruined If he were exposed
Tlis name w^s entered on the pollct
blotter as W. E. Wright, but tho p<>
1 i t?i. pantaln rtkft >ir>i K/aH t.iit* {riantlt.u r\
tiie alleged hold up. He was throwr
into the bull pen with other arrests t(
await aetion and no entry was inadt
at the time on the charge of highway
robbr.ry, which had been lodged bj
young McGlllis and the two victims
Eurlyin the morning before ttm<
for the police magistrate to dispose o
cases Wright was allowed to go aoc
the entry on the blotter was wrlttoi
''sick." The police captain whei
asked In regard to the action in th<
matter said that he believed th<
yi img man was only ill or slightly in
toxicated and that be was probably li
no way responsible for the alleged 00
eurrence.
Mr. Wright, paying teller of tin
Denver National Hank, was at hi!
desk when the bank opened Wednts
day morning denied that he was iru
plicated in tho matter in any way.
He ridiculed tiie idea that he was 5
highwayman. Mr. Wright has always
moved in the best clrcies of Denve
society and is a protege of J. D. That
cher, pres dent of the bank, In whicl
he is employed.
MONajY JfOU KUHOOLi.
A Question oh to tho Distribution o
tho Dispensary Surplus.
'PhA O ilnmVUa RpnnrS anua nn an
count of the doubt as to the exact lav
on the subject, it will be necessary b
make considerable inquiry into tin
method of distributing the dispensar
school money in counties voting ou
the dispensaries.
The conditions, it 13 stated, ar
very peculiar. The school law, as com
piled in 1903, made no provision fo
counties that might be dry, and Marl
boro and Greenwood received the!
share of the profits as well as any de
ticiency that might exist according t
the superintendents of education.
The law of 1904, approved Februar
25, however, provides that no count
voting out the dispensary shall recelv
any part of the surplus after the d<s
ticiency has been made up. This evl
dently means that the deliclency shal
be made up in all counties, but th
question has arisen whether or no
Marlboro and Greenwood, under thl
law, will receive a share of thesurplu
money or not It Is believed, althougl
there has been no test made of it
that the act of 1904 applies to ooun
ties that had dispensaries but after
wards voted them out. O i the othe
hind, It is said that in Pickens am
Union a (/est will be made of it am
that these counties will claim thci
share.
The amouno rocelved by dry oouc
ties voting out the dispensary In 190
was as follows:
Cherokee $4,439.3
Marlboro 6,012.2
Greenwood 6.547.6
Newberry 6,376.2
Union 5,451.1
PJckens 4,4146
in M trlboro there was a detlcieno
of $155.80 in the school fund, whlcl
was made up before the surplus wa
distributed.
An O lio man fell dead while courl
log the lady from whom he had bee
dlvoroed. This should serve as a wart
I ing to men who are thinking of goin
itaok.
