Divisions Each.

Washington, May 2.-The president
has in preparation his proclamation,
which will be issued within day or two,

this country. Generally speaking, the

duct of the war.
American Fleet Meets All Expectations.
After speaking in terms of the highest
commendation of Commodore Dewey's
work, Secretary Long said: "Tbe
American feet has come up to what was
expected of it. Its success shows that
it was not rash undertaking by the
department to send ships to Manila un-
der such a commander as Commodore
Dewey. His ships were positively eX-
pected to sweep the Spanish feet away
and take Manila. The action of the
Navy department in ordering this move
ment seems to be thoroughly justified. "
Prepared for Immediate Action.
When asked if he was preparing an
army for the invasion of Cuba at an
early date, Secretary of War Alger re-
piled:
''We are preparing for immediate ac-
tion and try to keep so prepared, but
the plans made today, of necessity, have
to be changed tomorrow and that is why
we are compelled to keep absolute ST.
lence, for every detail that comes may
necessitate another change"
The president has decided that there
shall be five army corps of three divi-
sions each.
Commodore Dewey's Instructions.
Commodore Dewey's instructions per-
nit him to lombard Manila if he finds it

Those on the flagship, who were ignor-

fidently expected that the recent bonn
bardment of the Spanish batteries at
Matanzas and the firing upon the troop
of Spanish cavalry at Cabanas, were to
be repeated upon the formidable batter
les near Havana. The weather condi-
tions, however, were unfavorable for an

LOUIS INHERIT KILLED.
Former Resident of Santa Fe Shot by sher-
if Hubbell While Resisting Arrest
Had Murdered His Wife.
Special to the New Mexican.

Special to the New Mexican.
Albuquerque, N. M, May last
Saturday night between and 10 o'clock,
Louis Imbert shot and killed his wife,
Louise Michel Humbert Imbert, at her
home in Los Corrales, ten miles above
this city. He shot her with a rife, fir
ing four shots, two of which took effect,
one in the back and the other through
the heart. No notice of the crime was
given by the other persons at the house
when Deputy Sheriff Melquiades Mar
tinez, of Alameda, was notified and Sc
cured possee which surrounded the
house in which Imbert was hidden.
Word reached this city at about 10:30
and one hour later Sheriff Thos. Hub
bel and Deputy Ed. Newcomer were on
the ground. Imbert was asked by the
sheriff to surrender but replied with
oaths and vile names and began shoot
ing at Hubbell from the door. He fired
three shots, one of which cut a button
from the sheriff's coat sleeve. Finally
at 1910 Imbert exposed his head in an
effort to draw another bead and pistol
ball from one of the sheriff's posse en-
tered it just above the eye and instantly
killed him. Imbert left letter giving
full directions as to the disposition of
his body and of his property, in which
he stated that he intended to kill his
wife and himself. He and his wife had
been on bad terms for long time and
were divorced some months ago. For a
while they lived in opposite sides of the
same house. Last February Mrs. I'm
bert accused her divorced husband of
shooting at her with intent to kill and he
was sentenced to 18 months in the peni-
tentiary and was out on bail pending an
appeal, when yesterdays tragedy oc-
Cured.
Since the February shooting the un-
happy couple had occupied residences
about 400 yards apart. Louis Imbert
was butcher in Santa Fe some years
ago and his wife was a domestic in the
family of Hon. T. B. Catron in the same
city. Both of them were originally
from France. Mrs. Imbert left a son
about 90 years of age, by former hus
band, and a 12-year-old boy by Imbert.
Imbert leaves his share of one of the
finest fruit ranches in this valley to the
younger boy. Both 1mbert and his wife
were excitable and addicted to the OK
cessive use of the native wines and
brandies which they manufactured, and
yesterdays tragedy was not at all un-
expected. A coroner's jury gave a ver-
dict that entirely justified the killing of
Imbert by Officer Hubbell and his BRAY
cry and GOODNESS have been highly COM
plimented by every one.

-A., Property.

Washington, May. 2.-rhe Baca grant
in the San Luis valley, Colorado, was
today decided by the United States
Supreme court to be legal and regular.
The grant comprises 100000 acres, of
land selected under an act of 1890 in
lieu of part of the old Baca grant near
Las Vegas, New Mexico.
This act provided that the lands
selected should be non-mineral, and it
