jury was empaneled and the remains
examined. .,s.~..........
The woman was found lying on the
floor all doubled up, and her face lay
in a pool of blood, The jury is still in
session. The evidence in the case points
to the fact that the woman met her
death by falling on her chair in such a
manner that she was strangled to
death.

GENERAL MILES
AGAIN DELAYED

Washington. July 2O.--Gen. Miles has
been again delayed in sailing from
Siboney to Porto Rico. The delay In
this case is charged to the failure OF
the navy TO provide the required con-
voy. The war department was in COM
munication with the general today and
again he expects that the Yale will sail
before night. Meanwhile the reports
TO the department for Tampa show
that his expedition to Porto Rico,
which was to be drawn from the camp
there has already started, though II
may be day or two before the ships
leave Key West.
The war department today was doing
it's best to hurry forward the immune
regiments Gen. Shafter has urgently
requested and IL hoped that they will
be gotten away within "a hours.
They are wanted 10 serve as military
pickets for the city of Santiago proper,
thus obviating the necessity of retain
ing within the zone of Infection any OF
the men who now constitute his army.

CARLIST RISING
IS IMMINENT

London, July 20.-The English Car
lists are most active and are in hourly
expectation of momentous news. The
leader of the organization here says:
I'VE are quite ready for active oper-
ations. Moreover. there is no doubt the
authorities at Madrid are aware that a
Cariist rising is imminent and that 1t
will be successful. We are immensely
strong in many parts of Spain, and as
soon as the truth of the cowardly sur
render OF Santiago percoIates our forces
will be greatly increased.
The foreign enlistment act curtails
our activity in England and ever since
the Madrid government began to get
into difficulties we have been shadowed
night and day by spies and detectives.
However, we have money, which is
sorely needed in Spain.

ence with Gen. Shafter. They discussed
plans for transporting the Spanish
troops and decided that several OF the
vessels taken as prizes In the harbor
are available for the work.
The Mexico, on which 1000 OF the
troops can be sent back home. will be
the most useful of the prizes. The
Reina de los Angeles can carry 900 men,
as can the Mortera and the San Juan.
1t still will be necessary to provide
other transports for all but about three
thousand of the Spanish troops.
