TRIAL OF
ZEKE COOPER.
Expectations That the Jury
Will Disagree if Not
ACquit.

Speculations as to the outcome of the
trial of Colonel II. Il. Cooper are plentiful.
One is to the effect that there arc jurors on
the case who have expressed themselves.
1t is alleged that some of the jurors stat ed
weeks ago that they would never consent
20 convict Cooper. The reason assigned
being that Boggs was the man who got
the money and that then he tried to tarnish
the four names of honest men.
When tho case was before the grand jury
some of tho grand jurors wanted to keep
Boggs from Giving his testimony. Then
their attention was drawn to the fact that
perhaps his evidence would help to clear
all the other mon connected in the famous

RICH PRIZE MONEY.
The Sailors and Officers of Simpsons Fleet Will Get About $170,000.


 Washington. July 1O.-For every man on the Spanish warships at the time of the attack, our sailors receive $1OO bounty, in accordance with sec ticn 4635 of the revised statutes of the United States, which says:
 "A bounty shall be paid by the United States for each person on board any ship or vessel of war belonging to an enemy at the commencement of an engagement which is sunk or other wise destroyed in such engagement by any ship or vessel belonging to the United States, or which it may be necessary to destroy in consequ ance Of injuries sustained in action, of $100 if the enemy's vessel was of inferior force, and s200 if of equal or superior force; to be divided among the officers and crew in the same manner as prize money"
 If there were 1,700 men on Cervara's ships, which presented a force inferior ito the Americans, the bounty will be somewhat more than $170,000, which is divided in the same manner as prize ney-one-twentieth to the com manding officer of the feet. one fiftieth to the commanding officer of division of the feet, one one-hun- dredth to the fleet captain and one tenth of each vessels share to the cap tain of that vessel, the remainder be- ing apportioned to all other officers

Spain sues for peace, and right here is an element receiving lots of con- sideration. Whether Spain will quickly sue for peace after the San tiago disaster is a question that is be- ing discussed with interest Some think she has yet plenty of fight left. Others think that this last blow will
 be forerunner of speedy peace. All are of the opinion that if Spain is too naughty to ask for peace now she must be made to do so without delay. The way to force her to this will be to take Po1't0 Rico and attack the shores of Spain itself. It is thought that both of these things will be done together.
 Admiral Sampson can spare ships for both. of these expeditions -one squadron to bombard San Juan and the other to go to Spain. The latter is the pick of the American feet It will show up with anything in Europe, and will be able to do fearful execu- tion to Spanish ports.
 John c. Calhoun, vice-president, and Dr. James M. King, chaplain of the Empire State society of the Sons of the American revolution, presented the presideut a memorial in behalf of the
 society. It bestowed praise for the
 presidents splendid management oi the war with Spain and eulogized the
 impartial and unsectional army and navy appointments made by him. II referred to the appointments of Gen. eral M. c. Butler and General Fred D. Grant az instances of the fact that .Spcfi0nalian hakz honn fhooroo, oh Ia wiped out
