HOPE FOR THE BETTER
The Bad Condition of Street Railway
Matters to Be Improved.

The street railway tracks which have
been in a deplorabIe condition as the
result of continued wet weather will
soon be repaired.
President Baker says that the force
of men has been utilized in building the
new car sheds and consequently but
little has been done for the road bed.
81 have just succeeded" said Presi-
dent Baker, lin getting a new supply
Of rails. We had some difficulty in
finding the kind of rails used here but
finally succeeded and they will be put
in as fast as possible wherever they
are needed.
I'VE have a great deal of trouble with
the West Sixth street tracks on account
of the pavement which is of wood. In
dry weather the wood shrinks and dust
fills the space left between the blocks
and then when a rain comes the blocks
swell and force the track up
President Baker says that the VeStt-
bules would have been removed long
ago if it had not been that the company
had no place to store them. The COM
pletion of the new car sheds gives the
needed space and they will be removed
from the cars within a week or two.
The cars will also be overhauled and
needed changes made. One that should
be particularly attended to is the plac-
ing of shades in the windows where
they are worn out and missing.

SPAIN is DELIBERATING.
In Regard to Sending Reenforcements
to Manila

Madrid, June Am the chamber of
deputies today, Lieutenant General
Correra, minister of war, in reply to
an inquiry as to whether q Spanish ex-
petition would be sent to the Philip
pines, said the government was DELHI
Grating on the matter and that troops
would be prepared ready to depart the
moment they were required.
Senior Azcarate, republican, spoke
against the proposal that the house
should authorize a prosecution Of Senior
publican statesman, for his article in
Petite Revue Internationale, attacking
the queen regent. He commended that
like monarch, and he recalled the con-
duct Of previous regents, which had
been criticised without causing scan
dali
Senior Sagasta replied:
Parliamentary immunity is worthy
of respect; but the inviolability of the
crown ought to be defended with the
ity does not extend to acts outside the
chambers of parliament, and it is a
pity precious time should be wasted in
such a discussion"
The house then decided to pass the
order of the day and a discussion of the
budget was resumed.
Senior Castelar,, who is now at Ali
cante, has declared to an interviewer
that he will not come to Madrid to de-
fend himself, observing at the same
time that the article in question does
not attack the queen regent, but the
courtiers, and this has been permitted
under absolute monarchs."

TIGHTER THAN EVER.
Censorship of Telegraphic and Mail
Communications Severe at Tampa

Tampa, Fla, June 4.-The censorship
at Tampa which relaxed enough to per-
NIT of chronicIing, with certain restric-
tions, the arrival of volunteer troops at
this point has been again frightened to
even a greater extreme than before. No
comments will hereafter be allowed on
the movements of the regular or VoIun-
teer troops either to or from this point,
nor will anything bearing on any phase
of the situation here be permitted: Cor
respondents are practically limited now
to the veriest camp gossip. Nothing in
the nature of information or denial of
the reports of embarkation of troops at
this point or any comment which might
indicate a movement will be allowed.
Not only is the Geographic news CEN
sored. but secret service men are said
to be watching very carefully the mails
from Tampa and any suspicious letter
will probably be confiscated. The or
ders for the tightening of censorship
came direct from General Greedy at
washington.

paraphernalia are at the latter place and

Other than this the officials say that up

of United States troops from Tampa, in
addition to those sent to Key West some
time ago.

Undoubtedly the departure of the engi-
neers from Tampa forms the basis of the

COURT IS CAUSTIC.
Judge Simons and Judge Horton
Exchange Personalities.

Fort Scott, Kan, June 4.-Upon on
application of the Illinois plaintiffs in
the $75, 900 damage suit against the di
rectors of the State bank of this city,
Judge Simons granted a change of ven-
ue and sent the case to Allen county,
but not without severely criticising the
petition, which alleges that the court is
prejudiced. Judge Simons intimated
that he thought the petition was not in
good faith, and he commented at some
length on the claim that he was pre-
JUDGED against ex-Chief Justice Horton
of Topeka, of counsel for the plaintiff.
He had criticised Mr.. Horton for at
tempting to get him to rule on queS
ton of law contrary to number of
supreme court decisions, in which Mr..
Horton as chief justice wrote the opin-
ion and said he doubted Mr.. Horizons
sincerity. This aroused some personal
references unusual in a court room.

Naval Authorities Scout Reported
Approach of Cadiz Fleet

washington, June 4.-Notwithstand-
ing the rather positive statement com
second Spanish fleet from Cadiz has
crossed the Atlantic and is about to
Join Cervera at Santiago, the officers
of the navy department refuse to be
frightened at what they declare to be a
bugaboo.
It appears that the basis of their con-
fdence is a Geographic report of as late
date as yesterday, declaring that the
Cadiz fleet is still at Cadiz. Moreover,
they know that there are not SO many
as 16 warships in that fleet.
