INJUNCTION GRANTED.
Barber Secures a Restraining Order
In Appellate Court.
Suit Grows Out Of Sale Of Land Ii Cow
entry Under Mortgage.

Judge Tillinghast In the Appellate
Court to-day granted a preliminary in
junction in the equity suit brought by
III. c. Barber against his brother.
Thomas III. Barber, and another. in
Washington county. The complainant
seeks to have the respondents re-
strained from further proceeding with
a trespass and ejectment suit brought
under a purchase at mortgagee's sale.
The complainant was the owner OF
three pieces OF real estate In the town
of Richmond. and he mortgaged the
same to his brother. who Is now dead.
He claims there was an agreement
that the latter was to cut grass and
lumber on the land and apply the value
of the stuff cut to the payment of the
principal and interest due on the mort
gage note.
He claims this was not done, and,
though he has often tried to get an ac-
counting as to the value Of the ma
terial taken by the mortgagee In pos
session. he has been unsuccessful.
Counsel for the respondents raised
the point that the bill was not brought
until five years after the death OF the
mortgagee, and that no claim was pre-
sented to the administrator of the
mortgage until four years after his
appointment. THESE pOlnts oio ioS
seem to the court important at the
stage of the proceedings at which they
were raised. Both parties admit there
was an agreement to apply the value OF
wood cut to the payment OF the mort
gage notes. but the respondents claim
that the wood cut was not enough to
pay for the saving of the same at a
sawmill owned and operated by Thos.
II. Barber. The land was sold under
the mortgage, which amounted, with
interest, to about $1,000. and then the
trespass and ejectment suit was begun
to get possession by the purchaser
from the complainant.
Judge Tillnghast thought AZ the
question involved was one OF an ac-
counting he would restrain further
proceedings until the case could be
heard by the full court. There was an
incidental dispute as to the value OF
the land, Walter B. Vincent. counsef for
the complainant, saying the land was
taxed for between $4,000 and $4,000, ana
+. B. Lewis, counsel for the respond
ents, saying the land would not bring
anywhere near $1,000. Mr.. Lewis ad-
mitted there were 800 acres. but said
the land was a good deal like West
Greenwich land--the more acres you
had of il the poorer you were OF.

Washington, June 9.--No news of inn
portance has been received from San
tiago this morning, and none Is looked
for until late tonight. There is, how
ever, on every hand indications that
the authorities are anxiously awaiting
information from the front. While the
feeling has been general for two or
three days past that the surrender of
Santiago was probable, IL is not SO
strong to-day as heretofore, and there
is now a very strong impression that
the place will have to be taken by as
sault by our army and navy. There Is
no doubt as to the result in this event,
but regret is expressed that the Span
iards should under the circumstances
force still further sacrifice of human
life.
1T was expected at the navy depart
ment that Simpsons big guns would
begin work again at noon to-day on
the fortifications at the entrance OF
Santiago harbor, though 1t cannot be
learned that explicit notice Of such a
purpose has been received, the depart
ment's knowledge being confined to the
fact that this was the plan of campaign
arranged between Shafter and Sampson
at their meeting three days ago. The
details of the plan to be pursued are
not yet known, either to the navy de-
partment or the war department, hav-
ing been left entirely within the discre-
ton of Sampson and Shafter, each act
ing in his own domain, the sole injunc-
ton laid upon them being to confer
and cooperate to the single end of cap
turing Santiago.
1t is assumed at the navy depart
ment, however, that Sampson will fol-
low his former plan of pounding away
at the Notifications until he has ST.
fenced them, and then follow this up by

A dispatch to morning paper from
Norfolk, Va, says that the advance
guard of the Rhode Island troops, to
the number of 400. reached Newport
News at IL o'clock yesterday morning.
but there Is every reason to doubt the
authenticity of this information, in
view of the fact that Gov. Dyer yester-
day received a dispatch from Col. ABB
bot. commanding officer of the Rhode
Island Regiment, in which that officer
states that it looked as IL the departure
OF his regiment for the seat Of war was
indefinitely postponed.
The dispatch from Norfolk further
says that the 400 men mentioned above
went at once on board of the transport
Grand Duchess and stated that two
more patches OF Rhode Island men ar
rived at Newport News In the after
noon. and would embark to-day. 1t is
hardly possible that 400 men of the regi-
ment could leave Camp Alger and ar
rive at Newport News at IL o'clock yes
terday morning without the command
ing officer OF the regiment having
knowledge of such a fact. In view OF
the dispatch directly from Col. Abbot,
IL is quite natural that Gov. Dyer Is
not disposed to believe that any of the
Rhode Island men have left Camp
Alger.
The fact appears to be that the man
at Newport News became mixed in his
news, and mistook either the Massa-
chusetts men or the Illinois men for
Rhode Islanders, for this appears to
be the only solution of what appears
to be big blunder. That the regiment
will soon leave Camp Alger, however,
is generally believed. as Gov. Dyer has
received word from Senator Aldrieh to
this effect, and the regiment will be on
the move within week. The batteries
now in camp at Quonset will now prob
ably receive some attention from the
government Gov. Dyer Is now ex-
pecting some word from Washington In
regard to their equipment. which Is In
the hands of Senator Aldrich.

At Camp Dyer all Is well physically,
but the same cannot be said of the
financial side of the situation, an d the
batterymen now in the service OF
Uncle Sam are anxiously awaiting the
arrival of a government paymaster.
The men are of the opinion that there
is a general impression that no money
is needed In camp, and that the men
are better Off without II. This, they
say, may sound very well, but many OF
them who wish to visit relatives find
pay railroad and other transportation
