The Island of FormOsa, Won From China,
Declares Her Independence

Ihe Island OF fOrmOsAs won FROM Nntnht
Declares Her Independence
WAsHIN0ToS, May 27.-The state de-
partment has received cablegram
from Mr.. DENLY. United States minis
ter To China, stating that the island
Of Formosa has declared her in
dependence, that the powers have
been so notified and that a gov
ernment, republican In form, has been
established In FOrmosa This adds
new complication 10 the situation In
the cast Before this government can
recognize the Formosh independence
il must be shown that provisional
government which can stand has been
organized. There are great numbers
Of Japanese in Formosa, and II re-
mains to be seen what course they
will adopt
The dispatch o! Minister DENLY an
nouncing the declaration of Formosan
| independence is not taken seriously at
the state department. The informa-
tion contained in the dispatch was
taken at the department TO mean that
the minister awaited instructions to
recognize the new government, or that
IL was in position TO be recognized
by the United states but there is not
likely 10 be any such action taken by
the government, nor would Minister
Denby be justified in taking any such
step The United states recognizes For
mosa as belonging TO japan, and no
matter what may be the form Of gov
ernment which the revolutionIsts of
the island may have organized, a rec
ognition of the independence of the
island would be distinctly an unfriendly
net toward Japan. II is not for the U.
$. minister 20 China or 20 any other
country to recognize the independence
Of any island in revolt The United
States does not recognize the Cuban
rebels, and the movement in Formosa
can not be regarded as anything more
than rebellion against Japan.
The idea Of republican form OF
government being formed In Formosa
is treated With some derison TIE de

GUILTY.
That Is the Verdict the Oscar Wild
Jury Rendered.
The Jury Made Quick Work Of the Case
Lord Alfred Douglas VIII Probably
lie Arrested and Held for Trial
On the Samo Charge

LONDON. May a. The jury Saturday
morning found Oscar Wilde guilty and
he was sentenced to two years at hard
labor. When the trial was resumed in
the old Bailey court Saturday morning
Sir Frank Lockwood continued his adj
dress 10 the jury for the prosecution
Sir Frank Lockwood expressed hope
that the jury would not regard Wilde's
letters as prose poems" but would
appreciate them at their proper level.
Sir Edward Clarke angrily objected
to the language used by the prose
cutting counsel, and a heated argument
between the two ensued. After pro-
tracted wrangle the Judge interfered
Mr. Lockwood finished his address
by saying that Wilde's own admissions
pointed conclusively TO his guilt
The judge, in summing up, said
Wilde had confessed that his conduct
in regard TO Lord Alfred Douglas had
been such that he .the judge could moi
ask the jury in the previous trial u
say that there was no ground foI
charging him with having posed as q
criminal
The judge, In the course Of hii
charge to the jury, dealt with each OF
the charges contained In the indict
ment, his opinion being plainly and
strongly against the prisoner. In re
gard 20 Wilde's letters TO Lord ALFRED
Douglas he said they might be pros
poems but they were none the les
poison TO a young mans mind, and thu
writer was clearly not desirable com
panion for the young.
LONDON, May 25.-Before the jury re
tired the foreman asked the court II I
warrant had been issued for the arres
Of Lord Alfred Douglas The judg,
said that no warrant had been issued
whcrcupon the foreman said: But !
we must consider these letters as evi
dence OF guilt, they surely show tina
Lord Douglas guilt is equal to that o

Over S2,000.000 Has Bcen Sunk In q
Worthless CITY Hall

st. Louis, Oct 23.-As the committee
investigating the work on the partially
completed city hall proceeds with their
labors. It finds fresh evidences of fraud
in construction.
The iron columns In the main building
have been found to contain blow holes
which We're concealed by iron cement
and paint: the trusses are insufficient TO
sustain the weight OF the roof: the tow
ers are believed to be unable TO resist
high winds; the tling of the roof Is de-
fective and the building Is without
drain pipes or sewer connections.
In brief the immense pile OF granite
and iron which has already cost the
city over 81 0Oo 900 Is practically worth
less as an officia! building and will have
to be reconstructed.

Allentown. Pa. Oct. 23.-Captain II.
C. Wagner widely known veteran of

result OF swallowing his false teeth.
When Captain Wagner retired last
night he did not remove his artificial
teeth. as was his custom. At 3 O'Clock
this morning he was awakened by a
choking sensation in his throat, He
sat up in bed when he was seized
with violent spells of vomiting, but II
was not until some time later that he
discovered that he had swallowed his
teeth and that they had lodged in some
very uncomfortable place.
The doctors advise Captain Wagner
to go to Philadelphia and have the
teeth taken out by a surgical opera
tion. II is feared that unless this Is
done peritonitis will result.

SPAIN is REAL SASSY.
Is She Informed That the United States
VIII Recognize Cuha's Insurgents?

London. Oct. 23.-The Central News
has a dispatch from Madrid saying
that the government has decided upon
the arming of several of the Spanish
transatlantic company's steamers
and the conversion of the old cruisers
Numancia and Victoria into modern
warships. The steamers will be armed
by the beginning of December and will
be sent to Cuba.
This action on the part of the gov
ernment Is generally regarded as a
preparatory measure against the rec
ogSition Of the insurgents as belliger-
ents by any American government. 1t
Is accepted as a certainty that Spain
would regard such recognition on the
part of any government as violation
of international law and would i'm
mediately place the nation upon a war
footing and authorize Spanish vessels
to capture upon the seas merchantmen
belonging to the nation so recognizing
the INSURGENTS
