drawn. However, Mr.. Stevens insist
ed on an immediate trial, refusing to
take advantage of any technisality,

being able to clear himself very quick
ly from the charge. Eight Jurors were

ships in the University against the in
terests of the institution: that they
are teaching heresey and initiating the
minds of the pupils with Republican
political faith; that the entire manage
ment of the institution as well as the
students are suffering by the process of
these northern Ishmaelites. The reso-
luton went over until tomorrow for ac-
ton but it caused considerable excite
ment among the solons. The COM
mittee is charged to secure the dismiss
sal of these northern professors if any
of them are found in the University.

San Francisco, June 9.-Despite the
fact that Attorney Ache has openly
stated his conviction that Isaac Hoff-
man was murdered and that the book
keeper, Theodore Figet, is short in his
accounts with the firm of Hoffman,,
Rothschild & Co., no steps have been
taken to arrest Figet, the police in

him. Ache, on the other hand, insists
that it is the duty of the police to ar
rest Figet ON suspicion, claiming that
there is sufficient evidence of embez-

WILL PROTEST.
OUR EUROPEAN AMBASSADORS
HAVE A SPECIAL MISSION
They Will Make An Attempt To Get Our
Beef Admitted Into The European
Markets Other Late News.

Washington, June 9.-The admins
tration has outlined an important poll
cy to end if possible, the controversies
between this government and Great
Britain, Germany, France and Belgium
regarding the exclusion of American
cattle and dressed beef. This policy
contemplates the submission of an ear
nest joint protest by the diplomatic
representatives of the United States at
London, Berlin, Paris and Brussels,
aiming at the revocation of the dis
criminatory regulations which these
nations have imposed upon American
cattle and beef. Before their depart
ure for their respective posts, Ambas-
sailors Hay, Porter and White receiv-
ed instructions to confer with each
other and with Bellamy Storer the new
miniser in Brussels for the purpose OF
taking united action in this matter.
Mr.. Storer was at the State depart
ment today, receiving his final instruc-
tons before he sails Wednesday next
for his post in Belgium. Mr.. Storer's
instructions contemplate the recon-
mencement of negotiations with the
Belgium government with a view to
securing a removal of restrictions now
imposed upon American cattle and
beef.
Ambassador Hays efforts VIII be ex-
erted in the direction of securing the
repeal of the law on the English stat
ute books requiring the slaughter at
the port of embarkation of cattle from
the United States. 1t will be the duty
of the Ambassador at Berlin to obtain
revocation of the decree issued by
the German government forbiddfng the
Importation of live cattle and dressed
beef into the German Empire. If
France will repeal her discriminatory
decree, Ambassador Porter has been
instructed to inform her that restric-
tons imposed by the United States up
on French cattle will be removed. In
case the protest made by the four dip
lomats NAMED is not effective, retail
iatory measures may be adopted by
the United States in the cases of all
governments concerned.

SURPRISE EXPRESSED
At the Queen Regents Solution of the
Crisis.

At the Queen Regents Solution Of the
Crisis.
New York, June "a dispatch to
the World from Madrid says:
Senior Sagasta never advised the
Queen Regent to keep Premier Cano-
vas and the Conservatives in Office.
On the contrary he had laid stress on
the expediency of the advent of the
Liberals into office, with a view to the
recall of Weyler and reversal Of the
whole policy followed by the Captain
General in Cuba, in order to secure the
sincere execution of the reforms and
improve the understanding with the
United States.
The Liberals persist in their deter
mination to hold aloof from Parliament
and all relations with the government
as long as Canovas keeps the Duke of
Tetuan in the cabinet.
Marshal Campos positively advised
the Queen Regent to select any cabinet
that would be willing to undertake a
more liberal policy in Cuba and recall
weyler. Marshals Lopez, Dominguez
and Blanco, in a more guarded tone,
expressed the same opinion.
Hence profound surprise was caused
by the solution Of the crisis.

STATE WINS.

Verdict to Recover Million and Quarter
From Railroads Secured.
Austin, Texas, June 9.-Specia.-The
State of Texas this morning secured
confirmation in the Court of Civil APP
Ipeals of a lower court judgment against
the Galveston, Houston and San Atito'
Mo, and the Houston and Texas Cen
trail railroads for one and a quarter
million dollars. This money was Dor
rowed of the state school fund before
the war by the roads and paid in
Confederate scrip. Several yeare ago
the state brought suit for the recovery
Of the money saying that the payment
of the debt in Confederate scrip did
not settle the debt inasmuch as it was
not legal tender. The sustaining of
the opinion of the lower court is a Sc
rious blow to the railroads involved.

Col Young Drills Young Men For Gu
ban Service.
New York, June A dispatch to
the Press from Boston says:
Col. Shepard Young, a we'll known
local military man, in an interview di-
vulged the details of a secret Cuban
expedition which left Boston on May
% and picked up several recruits in
New York. Today he received a CT
pher telegram from Jacksonville, con-
veying the news that they had just
sailed from that city on a fast, light
draught steamer, lis strong, armed
with rifles of army pattern. All have
seen service in the militia. A move
ment has been started to organize a
sanitary commission here to supply
stores.
Colonel Young said 'Iueonducted
the drills in a hall in Boston, put them
through infantry tactics, cavalry tao
tics and artillery tactics. Every man
could fire a cannon, no matter what
the size, swing a sabre, use a bayonet.
Not a soldier left Boston until he was
drilled sufficiently to take charge of
a regiment. The tactics were taught
in this city mostly at night. We got
word from New York that a Spanish
agent had been sent to Boston. We
did not see him. The troops practiced
with the machette also. That is used
mostly for a front cut. The smachette
is heavier than a sabre, and the WELD
ing of one is hard work, but the men
soon learned to use it with skill.

College Student Paints a Statue and
His Clothes Give Him Away.
Cambridge, Mass, June "A special
committee, which was appointed by
the president of the junior class at
Harvard to investigate the recent
painting of John Harvard's statue
has reported that a special student in
his first year had confessed. He ac-
knowledged that he decorated the stat
ue with red paint on the night of May
20 in celebration of Harvard's victory
over Princeton on the diamond. The
committee refused to make public the
name of the guilty student, but ac-
knowledged that he was requested to
leave the university, which he agreed
to do. Two members of the Freshman
class, whose names the committee al
so withheld. are also implicated and
when confronted with accomplished ev-
idence, they handed in their resigna-
tons. A fourth man, it is said, may
also be asked to explain what connnec-
ton he had with the affair.
| The statue had been the mark OF col
lege vandals in times past on this oc-
casion when it was found painted in
lred on three sides with an III on the
front and back and the score to on
the side, indignation was intense. At
tier a thorough search of the local paint
lstores and the discovery of a suspi'
cious spot of red paint on young
students clothes which resulted in
confession, the other men responsible
Iwere cornered.

Indians and Soldiers Likely to Clash

Miles City, Mont, June a-There is
very little change in the Indian situa-
ton. The sheriff ought to reach the
reservation this morning. 1t is gener-
ally thought among citizens who know
Chief White Bull that he will not be
taken alive. White Bull and his fol-
lowers are at large and 300 determined
men are trying to arrest him. Four
companies of soldiers on hand makes
matters very complicated and a mix
up may occur at any moment. Orders
have been received by the commanding
officer at Fort Keogh from the War
department at Washington to inform
Major Newell, who has charge of the
troops from Fort Keogh at the reser-
walton, to not return to Fort Keogh
until further advised from that Office.
1t was Major Newell's intention to
leave the reservation soon an reach
Keogh by the 18th. The orders were
forwarded to Major New
ell by couriers on bicycles.
