Gunnlson, sanpcte County.
May 4, 1898.

To the Editor:
A right royal send off was given the
fourteen volunteers of Gunnlson, by
the citizens here; all were equally hon
ored, the accepted and those who failed
to pass the medical examination.
Patriotic notices adorned the walls;
flowers, fiags and bunting in profu-
sion-patroitlc speeches and songs
were rendered; but the most stirring
and pathetic scene was when bevy
Of little girls walked quietly on the
stage where the boys We're sitting
with flowers and badges, and pinned
them ON the breasts and shoulders OF
the brave boys-one of them being so
decorated by his sweet little sister put
his arm around her and kissed the lit
tie one This example needed no gem
eral order from headquarters for every
gallant boy followed suit, amid the
cheers OF the people that crowded the
hall. When the little ones were released
most of the soldier boys were In tears
and the old boys. young boys, girls
and matrons In front, had ceased their
cheering and were quietly drying their
eyes One little girl was crying aloud
but the brass band in attendance came
to the relief with some stirring music
and the program continued.
Representative N. G. Sorensen about
this time. climbed onto the platform
ring he thought he had something
to say on tn, occasion and proposeu
the subscription of some funds FOR
pocket money for the boys until Uncle
Sans paymaster would attend 10
their requirements In that particular
matter. He headed the list with 50
bill, which resulted In raising a fund
of about $3.50. Picnic was then passed
by the young ladies whose attire was
tastefully ornamented with the nation
al colors and the audience then re-
paired to the ball room. -.
The soldier boys dreams will recall
this scene when far away from home.
Their fair partners of last night 8
dance. the girls bright eyes will look
into theirs again, inspiring them to do
their duty. for the sake of the dear
ones at home, the honor of themselves
and the glory of their country.

The county commissioners Tuesday
had before them matter affecting the
payment of money to the county treas
urer by county officers.
On the 18th of April the treasurer,
Mrs. Ellen Jakeman, wrote to Auditor
Havercamp to the effect that she
would receive any money due the
county until he had examined and
stated such account and certified to
the amount, except taxes, payable
directly into her office. Mrs. Jakeman
position. on the 29th Mr.. Haver.
camp gave Justice A. L. Booth the
following letter to Treasurer Jakeman:
To Ellen Jakeman, county teasurer
Utah County, Utah.
Dear Madam-Mr. A. l.. Booth de-
sires to pay into the county treasury
the sum of $40 So far as / know the
same should be accepted and a receIpt
issued to the Justice of Provo precinct
Respectfully,
GEORGE HAVERCAMP,
County Auditor.
To this Mrs. Jakeman replied that
she could not accept the note as a
certificate of Justice Booths account.
Mr.. Havercamp states that he can
not always examine accounts of ius-
tees when they turn in fines, unless
he goes to their offices in various parts
of the county. as fines are often paid
in before the Justices quarterly re.
ports are received. This question viii
no doubt be turned over to the county
attorney for an opinion.
County Superintendent of Schools
Brown presented a statement of money
which would be needed for the schools
for the coming school year, viz: s42.-
900. OF this amount $4,000 is expected
from the State.

FOUND DEAD IN A WELL
Strange Ending Of Thomas Thurgood Neal
Syracuse Today.
HIS DEATH WAS PROBABLY ACCIDENTAL
About 4 o'cioek-Lifeiess Body Found
an Hour Later. ~

Thomas Thurgood. an aged resident
Of Bountiful who was living temporar-
lily with his son Thomas near Syracuse
Junction, was found dead in u well
about six O'Clock this morning. u4l
There are few particulars obtainable
this afternoon. All that is known Is
the fact that his sons wife heard him
get up and go out of the house about
o'cock this morning. Nothing was
thought of the matter because he fire.
quently arose early. An hour or 50
later, however, when the. son arose
and went into the yard he found the
old gentleman dead in the well. He
had apparently fallen in head fore
most and death had resulted from
drowning. He was drawn out as quick
ly as possible but 1t was evident that
he had been dead for some time.
There was rumor to the effect that
he had committed suicide, his mind
having been affected of late. but there
appeared to be nothing beyond supposi-
tion to justify this conclusion.
The deceased was widower and up
wards of sixty years Of age. He leaves
seven children, four sons and three
daughters to mourn his demise.

Provo Volunteers.

Great credit is due the committees
terday, to take charge of the farewell
reception given to the Provo volun-
teers last evening for the unqualified
success Of the affair. The citizens
generally are also deserving of praise
for their generous and prompt re-
Spouse to the calls of the committees.
In the evening very large meeting
was held In the opera house. where
patriotic speeches. songs and recita.
lions were enjoyed, after which a
grand ball was given in Southworth's
hall, and banquet to the volunteers
and their partners at Fleiner's restau-
rant.
The finance committee were so sue
cessful that a purse of $50 was given
to each OF the eighteen recruits which
were called to go to Fort Douglas to-
day. This morning they were ac-
companied to the depot by thousands of
citizens, students of the academy and
the children from the public schools.
Before the train pulled out n feeling
farewell address was delivered to the
recruits by Hon. Reed Smoot. and as
the train pulled out the soldier boys
were loudly cheered.
The committees which accomplished
all this in few hours were

The frownlng and .rain-pourlng clouds
thnthad darkened the sky for the early
part of the week had entirely cleared
away and bright sunshine covered the

Volunteers came In on every train

least $50 artillery recruits VIII be IN

will follow. From that time on there
Will be constant and regular exercises
In military tactics. Where the Utah ar
tlllery will be sent no man apparently
knoweth. AT any event that knowledge
does not hrk hereabouts and may not

Regarding the regular cavalry troop
which Governor Wells was asked to
furnish when the first call came u now
appears II VIII BE- left out and Titan thus
deprived OF her regular quota oil vol
unteers. OF course there Is hope ana
strong effort to prevent such condl-
tion. but that such effort Will succeed
is by no means certain. The early In
structions seemed to be clear enough,
but subsequent orders seem to have
clouded them more and more until
there is an utter lack of knowledge
as to what Is absolutely wanted.
By way OF request for Information
Governor Wells sent the following
telegram to Secretary of War Alger.
Am /, or IL an officer appointed by
Col. Torrey to recruit Utah troop OF

Is part of our appointment, Is II not
irregular that 1t should be thus en-
listed and differed outside of state
authority? Furthermore. under Adjt.
Gen. Corbin's telegram of today. our
quota IL reduced to $50 men. whereas
proper apportionment would be 425. |
protest against the reduction and re-
quest that at least the enlisted
strength OF our two batteries be In
creased to full limit. Your letter of
April 25th authorizes non-commis-
stoned officers for slx-Eun batteries but
only 80 privates, n wholly dispropor-
tionate and insufficient number.

London, May 5.--A letter dated May

Gen.Weyler and Senior Romero Robledo.
the former minister OF justice. are
bound to come to tho front now. us
military furore has taken possession
Of the nation. and the Spanish dynasty,
as well as the government, is doomed.
THE BREAD RIOTS.
Madrid. May s, S a.m.-The disturb
ances caused by the high price and
scarcity of food. continue in the
provinces. There hive been frequent
conflicts between the rioters and the
civil guards, and footing and shoutin.
are reported from various points.
At Barcelona there has been re-
newed run on the bank. the expectation
of corn. flour, rye, maize, potatoes and
fruits and suppressing the duty in the
importation of these articles Is intend
ed to checkmate the spectators, who,
owing to the enormous premium on ex-
change, now Ill per cent, commenced
Immense expectations of produce,
against which they negotiated bills in
foreign markets.
These exports have created the scar
city of food. which Is largely respon-
sible for the rioting throughout Span.
Admiral Caramara Will take COM
mand of the CadiZ fleet on Friday.
The government is greatly d'sap-
pointed at the length of the debates in

10 ANA mob of about eight thous-
and striking miners has made a tur-
bulent demonstration at Murcii. capital
OF the province of that name. thirty
miles from the port of Carthagena.
They shouted Death to the thieves
Down with the taXes!" attempted to
set fire to the railroad depot AMI other
buildings, and then began movement
towards Carthagena. A strong force
Of troops, however, prevented the riot
ers from moving on the port. A num-
Der of men were wounded.
Disturbances are also threatened at
Carthagena, where martial law has
been proclaimed.
Similar scenes have occurred at
Oyideo and Leon, and at number Of
other towns where factory hands have
struck work. The strikers are parad-
ing the streets, demanding cheap bread
and stonlng houses.
The steps taken by the authorities
have resulted in the restoration of
peace at Malaga, where the British
steam yacht Lady of Clemell was re-
Gently stoned and driven out of the
harbor. 1t appears that the Malaga mob
thought 1t was an American vessel.

A SPANISH TRICK.
Same Procedure rs Often Was Witnessed
In Havana.

London. May ga remarkable and
mysterious attempt to affect public
opinion in London through circulars
distributed in the streets during the
busiest hours began last evening. While
the theaters were cmptying many men
were engaged In handing out dodgers
Of yellow paper with large headlines
reading:
why the United States is making
war upon Spain"
Under this heading We're extracts
from the remarks recently made by
Edward ]. Phelps, formerly United
States minister to Great Britain, and
who, from a legal standpoint, expressed
the opinion that the United States was
not justified in going TO war with Spain.
These extracts were accompanied by
quotations from alleged ro-Spanish
newspapers printed in America and
pro-Spanish papers published In Great
Britain. Up to the present 1t has been
impossible to ascertain who Is hnan-
ciering this street propaganda.

UNDER TIE AMERICAN FLAG.
No Doubt Felt that Manila Has surren-
dered to Dewey.

New York, May "a special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Anticipating early communication
with Commodore Dewey, commander
In chief of the Asiatic squadron, Sec
rotary Long sent to Hongkong today
n long cablegram containing instruc-
tions for the future guidance of the
American naval officer.
The message It is believed, related to
the plans made by this government for
Immediately dispatching troops to his
assistance should he deem such action
necessary. Approaching that n con-
siderable amount of the ammunition OF
the American vessels have been ex-
pended, Secretary Long has directed
that large quantity of shot and pow
der be sent to Manila in n steamer
which will at once be chartered by the
government.
Considerable apprehension Is felt In
naval circles at the probability of q
massacre of Spaniards at Manila by the
insurgents, who, 1t Ia believed, aided
Commodore Dewey in the capture OF
the city. Oppressed as they have beer
by the Spaniards. the officers with
whom your correspondent conversed
said he had no doubt that as soon as
they had the chance they would at
tempt retaliation. Commodore Dewey
said one OF these gentlemen, will UNI
doubtedly request the commanding Of
ficers of the British, German and
French men-of-war to land marines tc
protect property of their respective
citizens. SO far as Manila is concerned
/ have not the slightest doubt that /,
is In the possession of the American
force. Manila proper was protected by
wall erected 900 years ago. and thi.
wall was fortified by some antiquatet
guns. Having placed Cavite under hi,
guns. the rest of the work. mean by
this the capture of the city-was com
paratively, and without doubt It was
successfully performed by the courage.
