BOOKS TO BE ExPERTEO.

Fraud Apparent in Management of Gem
etery Funds.
San Francisco, May 18.-The Elk.
aminer says: The trusteeship of the
Masonic Cemetery Association is to be
investigated and the books are to be ex-
ported.
Masons have recently awakened to
the fact that whereas there should be
half million dollars or more in the
treasury, there is little more than
800, 900. That entertainments have
been committed there can be no ques-
ton, for the trustees have admitted it
to fellow Masons. That the manage
ment has at times been criminally
negligent, the words used by the sec.
rotary, when under examination, attest.
That the greatest extravaganza has
characterized the expenditures is pat.
ent to the committee. How the treas
ury could have been looted, as it has
been, without the knowledge of the
trustees, is mystery. The records
show that the monthly meetings of the
board were regularly attended, and that
every member faithfully drew his $40
fee for 80 doing. Furthermore the
board has filled vacancies with men of
it's own choosing. Most of the men,
bers of the board have held Office for
years

ness. The foreman handed the verdict
to the clerk, who read as follows:
1--WE, the jury, find the defendant,
Scott jackson, guilty Of murder in the
first degree, and fix the penalty at
death.
The judge had previously announced
that no demonstration by the specta-
tors would be permitted. Consequent.
ly the verdict was heard with silence,
but Immediately upon the adjournment
of the court the spectators rushed to the
jurors and shook hands with them
heartily. jackson showed no feeling
except in the ashen paleness of his face.
The father and brother of Pearl Bryan
were present. The usual motion for a
new trial was made and jackson was
taken away to Jail.

WHY WEYLER REM AIMS
Says His Presence in Cuba
Restraints the Spaniards.
WHAT MADRID NEWSPAPERS ASK
Want Their Government to Repudiate
Treaties With America-The Views
of Senior Lastres.

New York, May ia World dis.
patch from Madrid says: The ma
jority Of the Madrid newspapers ask
the government to repudiate the treaty
of 1895 with the United States and the
protocol of 1877. These journals al.
lege. that the conventions referred to
are binding only to Spain, as the
United States daily prove their con-
tempt for international law and all
usages among civilized nations. They
claim that the United States openly
tolerate a case of piracy in violation
of neutrality laws, because they sup
pose Spain is weaker than their cOun-
try and in position in which it would
be difficult for her to vindicate her
rights and obtain fair play.
The main reason General Weyler
gives for remaining in command in
Cuba, after the government has dis
sented from his views in the Competi-
tor case, is that he deems his presence
there necessary to restrain volunteers
and the Spanish party in Havana, who
show a strong disposition to take the
law in their own hands, and who insist
upon the putting to death of the con-
demned filibusters.
General Weyler contemplates send
ing several battalions of volunteers to
reinforce the forces blocking" Gen.
eral Maceo in Pinar del Rio province,
with a view to using the regular
troops now there to reinforce the col
umns trying to arrest the advance of
General Gomez toward Matanzas and
Havana.
Much stress is laid, in the press and
official circles, on the fact that the con-
tinental and European and the tele-
graphic press manifest sympathy with
Spain in the Competitor incident.
"Jurist consuls believe that Spain
might make a strong case against most
of the naturalized Americans arrested
in Cuba" said Senior Lastres, the lead
or of the conservative deputies from
Porto Rico, and vice. president Of the
chamber.
