FLEET LEAVES CAPE VERDE.
The SpanIards Laid in Heavy Stock Of War
Supplies.
1t May Head for the Philippines some
Uneasiness MS to Its Destination
Naval Orders.

Washington, April e6.-Thc naval
officials have noticed with some dis
quietude the fact that the Spanish fleet
at Cape Verde Islands, before leav-
Ing under orders from the Portuguese
government made heavy purchases of
supplies there.
They were OF varied description,
such as medicine and miscellaneous
goods for which in ordinary times the
fleet could as easily have waited until
it reached Spanish port Therefore
1t Is suspected that the purchases show
purpose ON the part of the Spanish
admiral to start on n long cruise. A
rather startling suggestion made in
this connection is that the Spanish
fleet may make directly for the
Philippines by way of the Cape Of
Good Hope to attack Commodore
Dewey's Aslatic squadron, which 1t
would far exceed in strength.
The Suez Canal being closed under
neutrality laws, to warships of bel
ligerents. there would be nothing to
do In this case but sent some of Ad-
miral SIMPSONS ships on a long stern
chase after the Spanish fleet or to In
struct Admiral Dewey to repair to
home waters.
Among the naval orders this morn
Ing was one detaching Commander
Elmer from the charge of the mosquito
fleet and calling into service n retired
officer in the person OF Rear Admiral
Erben to take charge OF this fleet.
Captain Barrett, retired. has been
called to the department to take
charge OF the intelligence office In
place of Col. Richard Glover. who Is to
command the Bancroft. Lieut.. Biblack,
naval attache at Berlin, has been re-
lieved OF duty there by another r.
tired officer. Commander j.. o. Bar

Five retired officers, all young men
and juniors, have been called into SER
vice to help out in the, navigation

HERE'S ANOTHER STATEMENT.
st. Vincent, April 26.-G;44 y. m.-The
Spanish fleet Is still here and there Is
no sign Of intention to put to sea.
Ammunition and pro1ectiles are
placed ready on deck for each gun and
on board the warships the men alN'ear

The squadron is still busy taking

MINES OF FISH SPRINGS.
Hosting Plant at the GalenA In Good
shspe-strlke In the Meteor.

Messrs. Joseph and Spencer OF the
Galena mine at Fish Springs, returned
from that section last evening, feel
ing good over conditions as they now
exist In that part OF Utah's mining
domain.
Mr.. Joseph. in speaking to News"
reporter today, gave II out that the
Galena mine was now splendldly
equipped with new hosting plant
which at present was doing service In
carrying off waste matter from tho
lower levels of the mine, while inciden-
ally good amount of excellent ship
ping ore was being brought to the sur.
face. Superintendent Hoffman. said
the gentleman, was doing good work
in the pro. erty and the probabilities
We're that 1t would now begin to make
digniiied record In the way of land
ing frequent shipments of high grade
mineral on the Salt Lake market.
The Utah, which is now In with n
car OF ore, Is working at full blast.
said Mr. Joseph, while the Emma.
Early Harvest and Meteor are also
guilty OF vigorous activity. The
Early Harvest people are engaged In
driving a shaft and recently some very
fine pockets of rich ore have been en-
countered. The Meteor struck the ore
vein in a drift from the 5O-foot level
and n promising class of mineral is
now being extracted. Mr.. Joseph
brought In some samples for testing
The mine, II Ia claimed, IL also show
ing n streak of uranium, so much
sought after at the present time. This
property is owned largely by Mr.. u,
A. Greenwood Of the Rio Grande rail
way.
Mr.. Joseph looks for n season OF
great productiveness among the mines
of that section. He says the roads are
now good and this condition will
greatly assist the early resumption OF
shipments.

the rug from the intensity of lustre.
Some OF the rugs which find their way
here have been damaged, but so skilful-
ly restored that to the eye of the unin-

U. 5. SUPREME COURT DECISION.
A Reversal in the q ase of the State Agains
Lars Thompson.

A special to the Tribune from
Washington says that the United
States Supreme Court has reversed the
case of Lars Thompson, plaintiff in
error, VS. the State of Utah. a4t
Thompson and another man named
Jack Moore We're arrested early in
1896, charged with grand larceny al
legged to have been committed in
Wayne county.
In November last the two were tried
by a jury of twelve and convicted.
The verdict of the jury was set aside
by the trial court, and when Utah was
admitted as q State, the cause was
transferred to Wayne and then to
Emery county, where Thompson was
tried by jury OF eight oersons.
When Thompson was called for SEN
tence, his attorney objected, claiming
that the defendant had not had a trial
by jury as provided by law. holding
that at the time the offense was COM
mitted legal jury consisted OF twelve
jurors. This motion was overruled by
the court and judgment was pro-
nounced.
The defendant appealed to the State
Supreme court, which court sustained
the validity of the judgment. and 1t is
this ruling that Is set aside by the
Federal Supreme court
The decision does not declare the
eight jury law invalid except In this
particular case. Thompson's offense
was alleged to have been committed
at time when twelve persons were
required by law to try a case and the
United States aourt holds that he is
entitled TO that number Of Jurors now.
The case is remanded for further
proceedings. ON receipt of the remit
titur Thompson will be given another
trial.
