Houston (Texas) Post: The supreme
court of Iowa held that if at any time
in the course of a trial, a doubt shall be
raised as to the sanity of the defendant
a special trial for insanity may be imme-
diately ordered. If Jury of medical eX-
perts find that the defendant is really in
sane the criminal trial will at once be
dropped. The defendant, however. Will
not be given his liberty. as is now com
monty the result of such an inquiry. but
will be committed to the insane ward OF
the state prison for an indefinite length
of time The verdict of the insanity jury
therefore may mean virtual life imprls-
onment in the insane ward

HAVE MADE READY TO STAND SIEGE,
Porto Rico's Garrison Reinforced and De-
fenses Greatly Strengthened.

WASHINGTON, June 17-Plans are moving
steadily for sending further expeditions both to Por
to Rico and Cuba There is little likelihood that
second expedition of 5000 men to reinforce Gen
Shafter will leave within the next few days as has
been reported. The necessity of sending these addi
tional forces is questioned by high military officers
and moreover the means of transporting such
force is not available.
The main consideration just at present is the
equipment of expedition of greater dimensions
than any heretofore dispatched, with Porto Rico as
the objective point
A month ago the military authorities were salts
fled tat small force would be sufficient to occupy
Porto Rico the Spanish force there did not exceed
5000 or 5000 men. Now however, the Spanish gar
risons have been so reinforced and the defenses
strengthened that it is believed much larger nvad
ing army will be required.
Moreover. the officials were satisfied on learning
today that the Cadz fleet had sailed that the ships
would 60 TO Porto Rico rather than to Cuba if they
crossed to this side.
1t was pointed out that this move would be the
natural strategic one for the Spanish commanders to
take rs there was still something left for them to
save in Porto Rico.

Spanish Troops at Manila Face
the Last Extremity.
PROVINCES ENTIRELY CUT OFF.
Starving Soldiers Cry for Bread-Insur-
gents Capture the Captain
Generals Family.

MADRID, June 1.-THE following dispatch
from Manila, signed by Captain-General August
and dated June 13, is published officially:
1.-The grave situation set forth in my dis
patch of June continues The troops are
fighting on the line of Lighthouses which stops
the enemy's advance. The enemy has been
strengthened by desertions of the native troops,
which diminishes our, means of resistance and
may compel me TO take refuge in the walled city.
Communication with the provinces is still
cut off and do not know whether the detach.
ments there will be able to hold out, on account
of lack of resources.
81 hope to receive assistance from the penin.
sula before our means of defense are ex-
hausted."
General Augustus dispatch is said to have
caused great CONSERVATION among the members
of the ministry, and to have profoundly affected
the Queen Regent.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Porto Rico
expedition will be ready to start in two weeks.
Five thousand regulars and $1,000 picked vol
unteers, commanded by Brig. Gen. Coppinger,
will constitute the army of invasion.
Before this embarkation the president con-
fidently expects Manila to surrend er, the Amer
ican flag to float over eastern Cuba and Ger
vera's fleet either manned by American seamen
or at the bottom of Santiago harbor.
The Porto Rico campaign will then be act
lively prosecuted. When that island has become
an American possession, the president and
majority of the cabinet believe Spain will be
ready to discuss peace propositions, even from
this country. If she will not, then one of two
plans of campaign now under discussion re-
main to be decided upon-either to lombard
Havana or to send a fleet across the Atlantic

first class shape. He expects this to
take at least six weeks and will prob
ably get everything in readiness by

old ones and the entire building thor
Oughly cleaned. A new front and lobby

BRIBERY CHARGED.
Two Penitentiary Employees Dis
charged for Accepting Money
From ConVicts.

Word has been received from Lansing
that Warden Lands of the state peniten-
tiary has forcd the designations of David
Shull, top mine officer, and John Chase,
head mine engineer.
According TO the report the men were
caught accepting money from cOnvicts.
Harry Stops who was sent to the peni-
Tertiary from Shawnee county, is the man
who gave the men the money
Shuu admits that Stops gave him $50,
but says that he kept it subject to Stops
order, and Chase said that Stops gave
him SIS, which was expended according to
his order
Governor Leedy has not yet heard any
thing direct from Warden Lands, but he
said today: i am sure of one thing,
and that is that Lands viii not stand
employees taking money from cOnvicts. If
he should find that had been done he
would fire a man in minute 1 know
nothing whatever about this case, but I
do know that the practice of accepting
money from convicts has been practiced
at the penitentiary in times past"
The system of accepting money from
cOnVictS is one thing Warden Lands put
a stop to when he took charge of the peni-
Tertiary. Before that employees would get
money from cOnViCtS on the preteXt that
they would help them to secure paTdOnS-
The men discharged were both employ
ed at the penitentiary under Warden Dick
Chase. John Chase is son of the eX-
warden and Mr.. Shull is from Usage coun-
ty and has always had an excellent repU-
alton. He was representative from Usage

Property to the Amount of 100000
Destroyed in the Business
Part of the Town

Escanaba, Mich. Aug. Next to the
greatest fire Escanaba has ever had &C.
CURED last night.
The fire was discovered in the rear of
FOgarty's feed store and in a few sec
onds the entire 150-foot building was a
mass of flames, which spread to the ad-
joining buildings, assisted by strong north
east wind. In a short time over half a
block of business buildings was in ashes.
The fire spread across the street and
badly damaged the EScanaba bank build
ing and burned three others.
The following stores We're burned: Pat
FOgarty, -four and feed; Bert Ellsworth
drugs; 500 line ticket office and Western
Express; D. A Oliver. furniture store
room; l. Kratze, clothing; Paul Hohel-

goods merchant, it could go no further.
George w. Kaufmann's sales stable, north
of where the fire started, burned.
Several other buildings were damaged.
The Catholic church school and several
buildings caught fire number of times,
and only by most strenuous efforts were
saved.
The loss will amount to $200, 900 and is
only partially insured.

RECEIPTS SI,6II.OO.
For the "Battle of Manila" Last Night
Crowd Numbered About $500.

The exact number of people that attend
ed the Battle of Manila last night at the
fair grounds is not known, but the total
receipts accounted for so far amount to 81
611.93- When all the ticket sellers settle
with Treasurer John F. AfcManus of the
Committee of Fifteen 500 more may be
added The expenses of the show will be
about $1,000 may be a little less and may be
a little more as all the bills have not been
presented.
If the average price of admission was
placed at 80 cents, which is very low. it
would mean 1885 paid admission. This does
not agree with the estimate made of the
crowd, as 5000 is agreed as the number
there. The soldiers were let in free and
of course many We're there who did not
pay.
The soldiers deserve thanks for the good
work they did in guarding the grounds
and in aiding the ticket takers at the
gates and in handling the crowd. If it
had not been for their assistance the ticket
IA kers would have been showed under.
The soldiers were gentlemanly and cOurte-
Gus in every particular
The Committee of Fifteen win make
about $500 to be used in paying the ex-
penses of the Fall Festival. The KaTnivaI
knights donated their services in selling
and taking tickets and did all they cOuld
to help the committee. The Knights should
come in for share of the money raised.
