Many Owners of Poultry Suffering From
Depredations of a Thief.

Depredations of a Thief.
For period of about four weeks the
owners of chickens In knightsville have
commissioned themselves as detectives to
try to catch thief who has been steal
ing chickens in wholesale lots. Monday
night Mr.. william Ross had 20 good
laying hens stolen, making an aggregate
loss to Mr.. Ross OF 40 chickens Mr..
Fred Hunt has been heavy loser. Mr..
Hunt has lost about % chickens since
the thief commenced his game. Mr.. Will
liam Stone and a number OF other peo-
pie have frow time to time missed num-
bers OF chickens. To capture the thief
has been the aim OF the owners but as
yet they have not any more than oecid-
cd what the thief is. Men have watched
all night with gun In hand ready to
shoot the bold intruder but tho game
was sharper than the hunters. There are
many evidences to prove that the thief
or thieves are a family of minks. Minks
are known TO be in the vicinity of
Knightsville in large numbers. Prints
in the sand near the chicken coops re-
sem ole tracks made by mink. In the
morning after the thieving has been done
feathers on the ground around the coop
show that struggles ensued. The un-
fortunate owners heve banded them
selves into vigilance committee and
desperate efforts viii DO taken TO bring
the thief to punishment. Never In the
history OF Kuightsville has such whole.
sale thieving taken place.

tanning themselves at their own ex-
pense while combating the insOlence
of the assertions of the United States.
The day has been characterized by
many manifestations of public wrath
and excitement.
The student class seems to form a
large proportion of the inflammatory
element which is making SO much
noise The students of this city are
busily at work to organize a great
demonstration of protest against the
vote of the United States Senate. At
Alvincia yesterday all the students of
the university paraded the streets and
then gathered before the United States
consulate, shouting death to Uncle
Sam,' Viva Spain, and Long live
the army"
The government has issued an order
prohibiting the various demonstra-
t1ons which have been planned by the
students. This order applies, as well,
to all similar demonstrations.
The preparations OF the government
are not all of a peaceful character,
however. 1t is significant that the
minister of marine, Admiral Jose
Maria Beranger, has issued orders for
the training squadron to be prepared
to sail. 1t IS regarded as proba bic
that this squadron will proceed short
" 10 Cuba. 1t has also been ordered
that all other warships available be
forthwith armed and equipped and put
into condition for active service. In
addition to this, about fifty merchant
steamers, available for the govern
ment service. will be provided with
naval ornaments.
For the military branch of the SER
vice, a fresh expedition of 20, in

equipped and put on war footing,
and will be kept in readiness to leave
on the shortest notice. ~
In view of the excited state of the
public mind, the United States 1ega-

In addition, the authorities have
rendered to Minister Taylor a guard of

residence, but Mr.. Taylor has declined
