NO TRACE OF M'swEENEY.

Has He Made Good His Escape or Is He
Drowned?
Morgan McSweeney is still a much-
wanted man and no trace of the line of
his fight has been discovered. A good
portion of the time of police and repor-
ters is occupied in running down false
rumors which gain circulation with
exasperating persistence.
The opinion is held by many persons
that McSweeney drowned himself in
the Ohio river, but no evidence of that
result exists except the fugitive's state
ment that he would not be seen again.

Baltimore and Boston and other ships
there will be 1000 projectiles. The 9TH
er shipments will include about TO-
shells, 1000 s-pound balls and 5000 l.
pound balls.
The navy department is fortunate in
having laid in an ample stock of pro-
Ject1les of all weights and sizes, so that
there will be no delay in getting a full
supply ready for shipment to Commo-
dore Dewey. The supply of powder is
not SO readily obtained as powder has
been distributed to several fleets and
ships as fast as it has come from the
powder mills. But owing to the emer-
gency in the case of the Asiatic fleet
powder intended for other use will be
forwarded to San Francisco and sent
to Commodore Dewey.
The recent explosions of powder mills
have not crippled the navy department
in securing supplies OF powder, but they
have caused some delay in filing the
orders of the war department..

Before this company went ashore,

PACIFIC COAST BASE.
Indications are That San Francisco
Will Be the Center of Operations.

San Francisco, May SIT is now OBJ
vious, in the light of Commodore Dew
ey's triumph at Manila, that San Fran
cisco will at once become the base of
important military and naval opera
tions. Before many days 5000 men will
be encamped on the Preside reserva-
ton. Orders have been issued direct
ing the Fourteenth United States in
fantry now stationed in the Depart
ment of the Columbia to take station
Immediately at San Francisco. 1t is
believed that further orders will be pro-
rnulgated to assemble all the organiza-
tions of the Fourth U. S. cavalry at
Preside.
orders have been received from Major
General Merriam, commanding the de-
partnients of California and COLUMBIA,
instructing Col. Morris, commanding
the post at the Preside to select loca-
tions for the encampment of 5000 vol
unteer troops from the states of Ore
gon. Washington and California. 1t is
the opinion of Col. Morris that most o.
the men manning the batteries and
heavy artillery here will be sent to
Manila to man light batteries and that
their places will be filed from among
the California volunteers recently en-
listed and about to be mustered into
the service of the United States.

ITS DAYS NUMBERED.
Sagasta Ministry Cannot Hold
Out Much Longer.

New York. May 5.-A special to the
World from Madrid says:
The troops are held in the barracks
ready to march at any instant against
the mob or the revolutionists.
Cavalry and infantry patrol the
streets from nightfall to sunrise.
All the public buildings are crowded
inside with foot and mounted police
In the rest of the kingdom the precau-
tions, though less visible, are equally
strict, because the court and the gov
ernment apprehend graver movements
still if a fresh reverse occurs in Cuba
or to the fleet.
High handed measures are considered
necessary to keep the adversaries of
the monarchy and the masses down IN
til the moment comes when the rulers
OF Spain can declare that honor is sat
isf1ed and that the time has come to ap-
peal to European governments to step
in and secure terms of peace honorable
to Spain.
The last "a hours have been anxious
ones for the ministers and the authori-
ties at Madrid. Premier Sagasta went
twice to see the queen and offered to
resign if she believed a conservative or
military cabinet could better defend the
dynasty and the monarchy than the
government whose members stick to
their posts now only from a sense of
loyalty TO the crown ana S01I-IGSpGcl,
as they do not wish to be accused of
abandoning the reins of state in the
midst of war.
The chief fear is of a popular revo-
luton, which everybody can see brew
ing.
The civil authorities in Madrid got so
alarmed at the attitude of the Republi
cans and Carlists that they frankly
told Senor Sagasta they could not an
swer for order much longer.
The Barcelona authorities report a
very serious condition of affairs there,
the Republicans working upon the mas
ses, who are discontented because of
the rise in price of all provisions and
the closing of many factories in conse-
quence of the loss of the Cuban and
Philippine markets.
The queen asked Senor Sagasta to re-
main in Office.
He consented to do so on condition
that she would give permission to pro-
claim state of siege in Madrid.
Now martial law rules. Anyone cir
culating news about the war can be
sent to a military prison.
Court martials are held. One Carlist,
one Socialist, one military and one In
dependent and one Republican paper
have been seized and prosecuted by or
der of the military judges.
If national feeling runs too high
against Senors Sagasta and Moret who
really are in the most danger, the
queen probably will ask Marshal Cam
pos to form a sort of government for
the defense of the monarchy.
The old marshal has told her that he
will be ready to do so directly she sends
for him.

Germany's Conception of the
Monroe Doctrine.
Thinks 1t Means "FOr Ameri-
cans Only in America"
SEEKS COMPENSATION.
Newspapers Betray Excited In
terest of the Government.
Which Is Irritated by the Stars
and Stripes at Manila.

New York, May 5.-A World special
from Berlin says:
The excited interest the Germans are
beginning to take in the ultimate fate
of the Philippine islands is betrayed
by the newspapers. The interests of the
German possessions in the western Pa
cif1c, part of New Guinea, the Bismarck
archipelago the Solomon islands and
the Marshal islands all within a radius
of perhaps 1000 miles from the Philip
pines, make Germany's consent neces-
sary, it is assumed here, to any dispos-
al of the Philippines. Germany would
only agree to the transfer of the Philip
pines to another power it is said on con-
dition that she received suitable COM
pensation.
A great deal of irritation is sure to be
engendered by the taking of the is
lands by the United States.
The Kreuz Zeitung says that if the
Monroe doctrine means America for
the Americans it ought also to mean
"for the Americans only in America"

SQUADR0NS READY.
Indications That Sampson and
Schley Will Annihilate
Spanish Fleet.

New York, May 5.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
A1 that is definitely known here is
that four of the most powerful ships in
Admiral Sampson's command-the New
York, the Indiana, the Iowa and the
Puritan-were ready for a prolonged
sea voyage yesterday. Their coal bunk
ers were filed to their capacity and ad-
ditional supplies of coal were carried in
bags on deck. Two golfers, carrying
5000 tons of coal. were ready to accom-
pany them to sea. Reports that these
vessels have sailed eastward to meet
the Spanish ships have not been con-
frmed.
AT the same time Commodore
Schley's squadron at Hampton Roads,
comprising the Brooklyn, the Massa-
chusetts and the Texas, with two col
lers carrying 5000 tons of coal. is ready
to sail at a moments notice Swift aux
ahary cruisers are cruising the ocean in
search of the Spanish fleet
These facts all point to the theory
that there is to be a union of the armor-
ed ships under Admiral Sampson with
those under Commodore Schley at a
point in the ocean previously agreed up
on, and that the scouts are to report to
them there the location and direction of
the Spanish ships. 1t is not believed to
pc possible that the Spanish ships will
SelS.
AS soon as Rear Admiral Samuson
learns the whereabouts of the Spanish
fleet and the direction in which it is
sailing, he can get under way to inter-
cept it, throwing his scouts out in front
so as to cover wide expanse of sea.
and following with his armored vessels
in line of battle and ready to give fight
as soon as they come in contact with
the enemy.
Opinions differ somewhat in naval
circles as to the destination of the Span
ism fleet. Many naval officers can scarce
1y conceive it to be possible that the
Spanish admiral would be so rash as
to bring his vessels within reach of
such an overwhelming force as that
which Rear Admiral Sampson could
bring against him.
"They believe that if he has held a
westerly course he counts on being q BILE
to reach Porto Rico and get his vessels
safely into the harbor of San Juan he
fore he can be attacked by an over
whelming American force. When he
left ST. Vincent the American force was
divided. Rear Admiral Sampson an
parently was fully occupied with the
blockade of Cuban ports, and the onIv
vessels available to be sent against him
were those under Commodore SchIev. %

ALL TURN OUT.
Santa Fe Shopmen Invite Every
body to Their Flag Raising.

The following invitation has been
sent out by the employees of the Santa
Fe shops to thA public:
''You are cordially invited to attend
a grand United States flag raising at
the Santa Fe shops, Topeka, May z,
1898, IL o'clock noon, in honor of the
glorious victory at Manila, and as
American citizens to show our loyalty
to the flag, and faith in the govern
ment."
There will be addresses by prominent
citizens and music by MarshalPs band;
a company of soldiers will be in attend
ance to assist in raising the flags.
The shopmen have invested in several
large flags and they will be raised over
the large shop buildings. Every build
ing will have a flag.
The Santa Fe shop men, through Ma
jor Anderson, have requested Governor
Leedy to allow company A of Topeka
to be present at the flag raising at the
shops next Saturday. Governor Leedy
will grant the request and the Topeka
company will march from Camp Leedy
to the shops.

TAXES and THIEVES.
Combination Which Incites
Spanish WOrkmen to Riot.

Madrid, May 5.-A mob of about g.
900 striking miners has made a tumul-
tuous demonstration at Murcia, capital
of the province of that name, 80 miles
from the port of Cartagena. They
shouted death to the thieves" Down
with the taxes" attempted to set fire
to the railroad depot and other build
ings and then began a movement tow
ards Cartagena- A strong force OF
troops, however, prevented the rioters
from moving on the port. A number or
men were wounded.
Disturbances are also threatened at
Cartagena, where martial law has been
proclaimed.
Similar scenes have occurred at OWE
do and Leon and at a number of other
towns, where factory hands have
struck. The strikers are paradfng the
streets demanding cheap bread and
stoning houses.
The steps taken by the authorities
have resulted in the restoration OF
peace at Malaga, where the British
steam yacht, Lady of CIemen was re-
Gently stoned and driven from the har-

in San Francisco. the Australia and the
City of Pekin, which will be loaded with
coal and supplies and rushed off to join
Commodore Dewey's fleet. Whether or
not they will carry troops will be de-

dore is heard from upon this matter
The navy department is hurryinE to-

son, just outside of Atlanta, Ga, for
confinement until they are either ex-

their disposition is reached. The Span

a detachment of soldiers detailed for
that purpose.

VESSELS FOR MANILA.
Government Making Effort to Secure
Transportation for Philippine
TrOons.


San Francisco, May 5-Much interest
is being manifested in local shipping
and commercial circles regarding the
vessels available for the purpose of
transporting troops from this coast to
the Philippines. For several days past
government officials have been quietly
making inquiries and interviewing rep
resentatives of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship company, J. D. Sprecles Broth
ers & Co.; Gooda1l, Perkins & Co., and
other steamship companies with that
view in end. While no definite action
has SO far resulted, 1t is evident that
negotiations are already under way for
the requirement by tie government of
some of the finest vessels sailing from
this port.
In addition to the City of Pekin,
which it is understood has already been
secured, the Australia, which ran for
years between this city and Honolulu,
is most easily available as she has
been laid up for over a month past.

Mariposa, which arrived last night from
Sidney could also be turned over to the
government at short notice. The City
of Sidney, now enrOute from Panama
is due here on the 9Th, and is regarded
as of the most probable charters
by the government as she has room for
at least 800 troops.
Among others which could probably
be utilized are the crack vessels of the

PLANS ARE ALL MADE

Washington May 5-There were many
conferences between the president and
senators and representatives today. The
first conner was Senator Burrows of
Michigan, who presented some friends
to the president. AS he left he said:
Everything is moving along smooth
iy we'll What we want now is Porto
Rico We ought to have that tomor-
row."
WiH it be as soon as that, senator?"
YES" was the response, probably
in a day or two
While refraining from saying what
transpired during his interview with
the president, his statement that the
seizure of Porto Rico is expected to be
effected in a day or two, was thought
by his hearers to be significant, as it
was made after he had left the presi-
dent.
Senator Burrows would not say the
president had given him any informa-
tion.
New York, May 5.-A Herald special
from Washington says:
SPANS Atlantic fleet is not to be al
lowed to reach Porto Rico or to ap-
proach the coast of the United States.
Rear Admiral Sampson has perfected
plans for meeting the enemy on the
high seas and giving battle at a time
and place Of his own choosing"
Facts all point to the theory that
there is to be a union of the armored
ships under Admiral Sampson with
those under Commodore SchIey, at a
point in the ocean previously agreed
upon, and that the scouts are to report
to them there the location and direction
of the Spanish ships. It is not believed
to be possible that the Spanish ships
will be able to avoid all the scouting
vessels.

WIRES ARE SILENT.
London Reports That Dewey Has Not
Been Heard From.

London, May 5.-The officials Of the
Eastern Telegraph company, when ques-
toned today regarding the report that
a dispatch from Commodore Dewey had
reached Washington, said:
Neither President Mckinley nor any
one else has received a message from
Commodore Dewey
Such message, it is explained, must
necessarily be transmitted over the
lines of the Eastern Telegraph compa-
ny either from Manila or Hong Kong.
The company knows of no communica-
ton emanating from Manila since the
cable was cut. The company has been
watching all points for Manila intel
Igence, being anxious regarding the
safety of its staff and property.

of the former
Spain had no large stocks of coal, SO

it is probable that there is much poor
stuff in the bunkers.
Besides the coal carried in bunkers,
some can be slowed in bags for a long
voyage. The quantity thus carried is
naturally uncertain, but about the eX-
treme limit for the size of the ship is
allowed.

yard, just before the cruiser sailed. The
evidence against him was not deemed
