SPANIARDS ARE SAD.
Situation in the Philippines Not at
All to Their Liking.

Havana, March 13.-Via Key West,
Fla, March livery little news has
reached Havana of what has happened
in the Philippines. Local papers have
received long kilograms, but their pub
LEGATION has been prohibited by the
censor. He only allowed the news of
Polavieja's resignation on the plea of
sickness, and this has caused a great
sensation among the Spaniards, all dis
believing the story and attributing it
either that he has been defeated in
front of Cavite or worse still that the
Spaniards have actually been expelled
from the islands. The Spaniards feel
respondent and more so when it is
known that Spain, being unable to
send more reinforcements to the Philip
pines, or unwilling to send the regular
troops stationed in Spain to hold the
Cardists and republicans in check, has
decided to withdraw 10000 or $4,000
troops from Cuba, and under the pre-
text that they are sick and disabled. in
order not to call attention to either the
SpaniardS or the insurgents, they will
be sent back to Spain at once. Weyler
has agreed TO the scheme, and this eX-
plains the reason of his recent orders
calling to the volunteer ranks all the
able bodied men willing TO join them
in order to fill the gaps left by the
troops which are to be sent to Spain.
People here consider this measure as
SPANS first confession of weakness
and impotency to finish the Cuban
revolution and a preliminary step to
the final abandonment of the same.
Great rejoicing was manifested in
Guanabacoa the other night when the
notorious Fonsdeviela left the place to
take charge of the forces operating
around Campo Florido.

Western Passenger Association.

P. ]. Flynn, chairman of the Colo
rado-Utah Passenger association, will,
in all proba bility, be appointed vice
chairman of the Transmissouri passen-
ger committee of the Western associa-
ton, with headquarters in Denver, the
intent of this action-taken recently in
Chicago-being the transfer of exec
utive power to Mr.. Flynn, who will be
the direct representative of Chairman
Caldwell, not only in the section en-
braced by Utah and Colorado but per-
tanning to a local territory somewhat
larger than these two states. While
the appointment has not yet been Off
cially confirmed, it is assumed. BY
the creation of this office matters orig
mating and referring solely TO west
ern territory could be transacted here
instead of being carried to Chicago for
settlement
For the past four years Colorado and
Utah lines have operated solely upon
the authority vested in them as corpo-
rationS and without consulting any
particular association, and as some of
the lines in the Western or Transmits
the Colorado pool it has been the
source of considerable trouble in bust
ness originating west of Denver. To
minimize this difficulty Colorado road DIS
have been requested to join the asso-
citation. If they do so, the foregoing
will serve to prevent lines
in Utah and Colorado from cutting
rates.

Frank Knox and c. II. Jacobs, the
receivers. of the Bank of Salt Lake and
the First Bank of Mercur, having
transferred the assets of the banks to
H. H. Rea, in consideration Of a pay
ment of 100000, the purchase price
agreed upon and approved by the
court, asked through their attorneys
to be discharged.
Attorney E. B. Critchlow, represent
ing George Arthur Rice and others.
objected to the order of discharge be-
ing made, they having filed suit IN
intervention in which they alleged that
Bacon had not dealt fairly with his
creditors, but had concealed and held
back $95, 900 worth of his assets ana
that he had paid some creditors in full
and given others d much larger divi-
dend than the rest; that he had given
some creditors four shares of Dalton
6, Lark stock and others only two for
each dollar of the amount of their
claims. For these reasons they desired
to be released from their agreement TO
accept Bacon's note secured by two
shares of stocks for each dollar of the
amount of their claims.
They also wished that the receivers
prosecute the suits instituted by them
to have BacOns Sanitarium stock and
his stock in the St. Anthony Canal
company declared a part of the assets
of the bank free from the incum-
brances on those stocks, and for these
reasons M. Critchlow objected to the
discharge of the receivers.
The attorneys for the receivers urged
that as the amount of the dividend of
a bout 80 cents on the dollar on the
claims of Rice was kept on hand and
could be paid into court, there was no
reason why the receivers should not be
released and in the suits to recover the
Sanitarium and St. Anthony stock
other parties could be substituted for
the receivers as plaintiffs.
In these suits his honor ordered that
H. Il. Rea be substituted as plaintiff
and the question of discharging the re-
ceivers he took under advisement.

Memphis, Tenn, March 13-The Mis-
slssippi river here now registers a
higher stage of water than ever known,
approaching sc feet and steadily ris-

d1tion began today, two Arkansas
towns across from this city being sub
merged and the inhabitants driven to
safer places. These are Marion and
West Memphis. The former is under
froms three to four feet of water, due
to break of its protection levees
along a lake front early this morning
The break occurred before many of
the inhabitants had left their beds, and
there was a scene of excitement, but
no loss of life.
So far as known none of the main
levees is trembling under the pressure
of water, but they are being guarded
all along the line.

M'ALLIsTER VS.. THE CITY.
Hearing on Plaintiffs Petition for a
Writ of Mandate.

VIII u DAd11QdJS
The case of ]. G. McAllister against
City Auditor Swan, in which the plain
tiff sought for a writ of mandate to
compel the defendant to issue to him a
warrant for salary alleged to be due
on account of the alleged wrongful
dismissal of the plaintiff from his Of
fee of provision Inspector, was tried
Yesterday before Judge Cherry, with
Attorney Harmed Pratt appearing for
the plaintiff and Assistant City Attor-
ney Hampstead representing the city,
Plaintiffs attorney moved for judg-
ment on the pleadingS for a years
salary. $1.0S0 but this was denied.
In his affidavit for the writ McAlliS
ter sets out that he was appointed to
the office of inspector Of provisions on
the 18th of October. 1894, for the term
of two years and until his successor
was duly appointed by the mayor and
confirmed by the city council; that he
is still inspector of provisions, for the
reason that his successor has never
been appointed, and that therefore he
is entitled to back pay. 1t is further
claimed by plaintiff that the city
council never created the Office, hence
had no right to abolish it. Assistant
City Attorney Hampstead, who APP
peared for Auditor Swan, argued that
when power has been given TO appoint
TO an office and the power mas Oeen
exercised, any subsequent appoint
rnent 70 the same office would be void
unless the prior incumbent had been
legally removed or the office had
otherwise become vacant.
The act of appointing eXhausts the
appointing power" he argued, and
until the removal or dismissal of the
incumbent in a manner prescribed by
lay, any re-exercise of the power is
void"
Continuing, he said: This has al
ready been judicially determined by
the supreme court in the case of Ken
dali VS. Rayhould and People VS.. Nc
AIliSter.
1T is shown that Kendall was the
lawful incumbent of the office of pro-
vision inspector from the 18th of No
vember, 1892, until the 18th of Novem-
Der. 1894. The evidence in this case
shows that McAllister was appointed
to the same office twice. The first ap-
pointment was made in January, 1894,
and the second appointment in
October, 1884,, both appointments
being made during the time.
when Kendall was the lawful
incumbent of the office. Therefore
both of the pretended appointments
were void for the reason that there |
was no vacancy in the Office at the |
time of the appointment.
In February, 1896, the city council |

NOT THE PROPER REMEDY.
Mercur Gold Mining Company VS..
County Collector Spry.

SO146ClOI 0R1ys
Judge Cherry yesterday delivered his
decision in the case of the Mercur Gold
Mining & Milling company against
William Spry, tax collector of Tooele
county. The plaintiff brought the ac-
ton to obtain a perpetual injunction
against the defendant to prevent him
from collecting $7.S25 as taxes on the
net proceeds of plaintiffs mine for the
year 1856, and also for judgment for
S1,750 taxes for said year paid under
protest.
The plaintiff sought relief on the
ground that the assessor wrongfully
assessed the net proceeds of the mine
at $3.50, 900 instead of 100000, the al
legged actual sum; that the net pro-
ceeds was paid to stockholders, who
paid taxes thereon: that a certain por-
ton of said tax is illegal, being 10 mills
of said levy for the district of Mercur,
a precinct Of the county, and that the
county commissioners failed and
refused to correct the same.
The defendant set up a demurrer TO
the sufficiency of the complaint. and
the question for the court to decide
presented such a case as would entitle
it to the extraordinary relief prayed
for. Plaintiff alleged that it had no
speedy and adequate remedy att law,
and therefore resorted to the injunc-
ton method, so that it would not be
put to the loss which would accrue by
the tax collector Selling and selling
it's property or clouding it's title.
His honor held that the plaintiff was
amply able TO pay the amount of the
taxes under protest and thus prevent
any sale of it's property. The statute
denies remedy by injunction unless in
unusual cases, and as only a small
portion of the tax-10 mills out of q
mills-was held TO be illegal, an in
junction would not lie.
His honor in conclusion ruled that
the complaint states a good and suf-
fcient cause of action in a court of
law, but it must be held that the plain
tiff has mistaken its remedy and the
demurrer was sustained.

FOR HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Brown and Dunlap Held to the Dis
trict Court.


W. H. Brown, colored man, and
Thomas Dunlap had preliminary
hearing yesterday before Justice Nc
Master on the charge of highway rob-
be:-ssr the allegation being that on Nov.
last they held up Street Car Con-
ductor Timmins and forcibly took from
him his watch and chain, an overcoat,
a pocketbook and small sum of
money.
Assistant County Attorney Ray Van
Colt prosecuted and Attorney Ham
ilton defended the accused.
Timmins was examined and positive
ly identified Brown as one of his as
sailants and he felt very confident that
Dunlap was the other one. The watch
had been pawned in Ogden and had
been traced there by Deputy Sheriff
Burt and recovered. Testimony was
introduced to show that both defend
ants were hard characters and had
sailed under many aliases. The hear
ing was quite exhaustive and ended
by both defendants being held in bonds
of 81, 900 each for trial in the district
court. They could not give the bonds
and were taken to the county Jail.
