RIrern ordered 10 ne shot.

Havana, via Key West. June a.
Americans here are much exercised
over a report that the trial OF Major
General Ruls Rivera, who succeeded
General Maceo. and his chief of stan,
General Bacallao. has ended, and that
the prisoners win be sentenced TO be
shot at once.
1t is urged by these Americans that
congress should renew its request to
President Mckinley to intervene. and
that Bacallao, as well as Rivera. be in
cluded in the request. as he could easily
have escaped had he not stopped to
help his wounded chief.
1t is felt here that the shooting OF
these men must bring out an earnest
protest by other nations against the
Spanish practice OF shooting prisoners
OF war.

lender OF this city by a former mar
riage. has brought suit to have his

for the money lenders fortune and that
Il was agreed that the money should be

claims that this money, loaned out at
the rate Of interest usually charged by
his deceased father. would now amount
TO 1854. 1868. He makes a further claim

says his father lost by injudicious in
vestments in Tacoma lands. The claim-
ant was cut off in his fathers WILL

I There will be no great amount OF de-
bate on either cotton or spirits. There

add compensatory duties on cotton
goods because OF the duty fixed on raw
cotton. but this IS understood to have

The Republican managers now hope
that the debate In the senate win be

secured an agreement with the Demo-
Gratis that the sessions shall begin at IL

The house probably will continue its
policy OF adjourning from Monday over

STATE PRINTING BIDS
Lively Times Expected at Albany
When They Are Put In.
CHARGES OF RESPONSIBILITY MADE
Some of the Firms Said to BE Ready to
Mandamus the Board to Keep
1t From Letting the Con-
tract to others.

Albany. June 14--There promises to
be lively time at the meeting Of the
state printing board tomorrow, when the
contract viii be let for doing the legis-
lative printing for two years. The pres
ent state printers. Wynkoop, Hallen-
beck e Crawford of New York city,
have been the subject Of attack for
some time by the other printing con-
Germs formerly doing state printing.
Claims We're made that the state was
being systematically robbed, and libel
suit, in which Ii is claimed sensational
Developments will be brought to light,
is now pending.
The bids that the board will consider
tomorrow are made by The Argus COM
pany. The Journal company Weed &
Parsons Printing company and the
Wynkoop Hallenbeck, Crawford COM
pany of Albany, and Charles Tollmer.
Jr, Of Brooklyn.
Some of the Bidding.
Figuring on the bids shows Charles
Tollmers bid to be the lowest, in the
neighborhood of S72, 900. The next low
est bid is that Of the Wynkoop, Hallen-
beck, Crawford company, the present
state printers, at about $77, 900. Mr..
Tollmers bid is about $4,000 less than
the price at which the contract was let
last year.
The law calls for the awarding Of the
contract to the lowest responsible bid
der, without any other discretion, by the
board, and upon this hinges the state
ment that some Of the other bidders
win mandamus the board to keep II
from letting the contract to either Toll
mer or the Wynkoop company on the
grounds of irresponsibility, and that
the bids are below market value and
consequently not to be relied upon.
1t is said that the Tollmer bid will be
withdrawn, Tollmer being an employee
of the Wynkoop company, and the bid
being merely a blind.
