At HONG KONG
Threatening the Philippine Islands in Case of
Trouble With Spain,
pairing for Any Emergency That
May Arise.

Madrid, March 3.-The public is much
exercised over the report of the pres
ence Of n squadron of United States
warships at Hong Kong. as 1t is pre-
sumed the vessels intend to threaten
Manila, the capital of the Philippine
island, in the event of war between the
United States and Spain.
The Impartial in an article headed
ITO Manila, to New York" quoted an
unnamed high parsonage who scouts
the idea of an imminent rupture, and
says:
"The presence of the warships at
Hong Kong Is only Washington policy
with the view of contenting the jim
goes"
The high parsonage" is said to have
added: But America has not SO many
Marships as to warrant such bold ac-
ton. II the Yankees go to the Philip
pines the Spaniards will go to New
York"
El Globo remarks, 1.-THE government
is alive to the critical situation and Is
silently preparing for the worst, But
1t Is too diplomatic to disclose the pro-
cedure by which 1t Is preparing for
emergencies.
fortunately the tranquil preparations
or the government are the best assur-

ACTIVITY AT N. Y. ARSENAL
The shipping OF Shells and Projcctiles to
the Qualifications About the Har-
Dor Continues.

New York, March 3.-There is con-
York arsenal. The shipping Of shells
and other projectiles to the forti1ca-
tons about the harbor continues.
At the army headquarters there are
no new developments and no orders
out of the customary routine are ex-
pected. 1t is, expected that battery of
twenty 12-inch mortars viii soon be re-
ceived at Sandy Hook for testing before
they are forwarded to the points for
which they are destined. There are n
number of unmounted guns at the
proving grounds. awaiting the construc-
ton OF carriages.
The supply of ammunition has been
increased in all the magazines and so
arranged that 1t can be Immediately
available. The men seem much more
pleased at the work they have to do
TINA when the guns lay idle and in q
condition unfit for active use.
At Sandy Hook, however. there is
n slight complaint among the men who
say that too much work is expected
of too small a force.
A large consignment of ammunition
Is ready for shipment at the ordnance
department in the Brooklyn navy yard
Commander swift, who has charge Of
the department, superintendent the
work of packing. Commander Swift
received instructions from Washing
ton to forward the supplies as soon as
possible to Key West, Fla whence
they will be distributed among the
United States war vessels now in that
neighborhood.
When asked II the consignment was
not an unusually large one, Command
Swift Tanlipd that n nd
that when 1t had been divided up be-
tween the several ships. none of them
would have more than the regular COM
plement slowed away In her magazines,
Many of the projectiles We're OF guns
of large caliber. As yet, no informa-
ton has been received as to what dis
position is to be mnda of the guns
which have been recently shipped to
the yard from Washington. These guns
are of different sizes. and as neither
the Chicago or the Atlantic. which are
being overhauled at the yard, would
be ready to receive Its guns for at least
six months, 1t is rumored that they are
intended for the auxiliary vessels.

Fully Ninety thousand are willing to
Serve the Country In n War.

New York, March 3.-Cyelists all over
the country are preparing to offer their
services to the governemnt in case open
hostilities are declared between Spain
and the United States. OF the 10000
members of the L. A. W., fully 10000,
it ia estimated, could be called upon.
President Isaac u. Potter of the l.. A.
w. says:
81 have no doubt that in case war
is declared and If the emergency re-
quires IL, the wheelmen of this country,
particularly those who are members of
the l.. A. w, would be found ready to
offer their services to the government.
"lf any body of men on the face of

they encounter more difficulties than
the average person has any idea of.They

ability to cover ground rapidly cannot
be overestimated.

An Artist imneincs Iic Ia Esterbazy and

New York, March 3.-The Dreyfus
case has had Il new victim, an artist
whose head has been utterly turned by
the affair and jumped out of window
under the delusion that he was Ester
haZy and the police We're coming to ar
rest him, says the Paris correspondent
of the Herald. Ever since the begin
ming of the lola trial the individual
made himself conspicuous by the OK
IRENE violence with which he discussed
the proceedings at the assizes He
never tired of defending Major Ester
hazy. Upon one occasion he narrowly
escaped being arrested for creating II
disturbance in the street As lola s
trial neared its conclusion, the artist
grew worse. and finally 30 identified
himself with the troubles of Major Es-
terhazy that he came to confuse his
own identity with his hero's. He
thought he was Major Esterhazy. and
everybody around him was consplring
to bring about his downfall.
"On every side of him." says the
Temps, he saw ambushes and traps,
every hour he took fresh precautions to
escape from his enemies"
Two days ago his friends We're aston
ished to see he had shaved, not only his
chm and upper lip, but his head as

cried at the top of his voice, he will be

Early this morning the unfortunate
fellow rose hastily from bed. "They
are coming-they are coming to make n
domiciliary visit to kill me" he cried in
piteous voice.
Going to the window he opened It
and threw himself out. He was killed
on the spot. His body was found Mt

"This is downright Extravaganza"

Special to the News"
Logan, Utah, March 3.-The Eistedd-
fod ended last night in a blaze of glory.
The evenings concert eclipsed any
thing of the kind ever attempted here.
Three thousand people were in atten-
dance and standing room was at u pre-
MUM.
The festival has been n gigantic sue
cess both from an artistic and iinan-
cial standpoint. far exceeding the pro-
Jcctors anticlpations. About 500 had
been expended in prizes, and the re-
celpts figure close to $1,000. Great cred
it is due the Cache Valley Cambrian
association officials for the manner in
which the enterprislng project was
launched and carried out
1t was announced last night that the
Eisteddfod would hereafter be per-
manent institution in Cache. The peo-
pie signified approval with tremendous
applause. The concert program was
made up of the successful contestants
augmented by the Tabernacle choir
The first prize for the best choir went
to the Whitney. Idaho choir, led by
Mrs. F. Alder, second prize to Second
ward, Logan Choir, led by Mr.. George
IL. Thomas. conductor.
Logan got first prize in the band con-
test and Wellsville second. Mark Ncu-
burger won the first prize In the violin
solo contest.
A pleasing feature OF the entire pro-
ceedings was the adjudication OF each
OF the numbers. The criticism
showing the good and bad points OF
the contestants has done much for the
cause of music and literature and the
judges, Alex Lewis. George w.
Thatcher Jr. and L. ID. Edwards have
won the confidence and esteem OF all
in their decisions.
The State Farmers institute con-
vened today. The attendance Is some
