the correspondents at Manila not 20 give

lead to complications with Germany"
When the full details become known, It
will be seen that the incident was more
serious that it first appeared to be. AS
soon as the American ship came upon the
scene of action in Subic bay, the Irene
slipped her cable, leaving her anchor IN the
bay. American Consul Wildman refuses to

we do not believe any diplomatic step will

The foregoing is believed to be inspired.

MARSHAL LE0NARD's SLAYER
Ed Cushingberry May BE the Man
Who Killed the City Marshal
0f Cameron.

Officers from Cameron. No.. passed
through the city last evening having in
custody negro named Ed Cushingberry,
who was arrested at Topeka and who
they have strong reason TO believe is the
man who shot and killed City Marshal
George Leonard last March at Cameron.
City Marshal Leonard was shot March
II, in the Union depot at Cameron by a
burglar. whom he had arrested fer enter
ing the home of Captain H. S. Beery and
carrying away lot of valuables While
he was searching the fellow the man shot
and killed him and escaped. Rewards ag-
gregating s2,6C0 were offered and the hunt
for the man has never tagged at any time.
The following morning Policemen Cos
grove, Treadway and Greely Intercepted a
negro at the Hannibal bridge here, where
they were watching for suspicious charac-
ters, and tried to capture him. but after a
shooting scrape he escaped. The same man
was captured at Fort Scott, broke Jail
there and has been in custody in half a
dozen different places since. The last place
he was caught was at Topeka.
Several days ago the officers at Cameron
received a clue and came to Kansas City
to follow it up. They found a negro here
who said he knew the murderer and agreed
to go with them to Topeka and identify the
man. He positively stated that Cushing
berry. was the man who did the shooting
ard the officers got him sent back to this
state for investigation. They will be able
to settle the question positively as the muir
derer was seen by several people before
the shooting.

TAX ON CORPORATIONS.
Missouri State Board OF Equalization

JEFFERSON CITY. MO-. July So.-(Spe-
cialD The state board of equalization is
busy valuing the railroad. street car. tele-
graph and telephone property of the state
for taxes of 1925. The valuations so far
made are about the same as In former
years. but Attorney General Crow and
Governor Stephens are making strong ef-
forts 10 have valuations increased TO
something like the market value OF the
property, to be valued In accordance with
figures furnished by S. L. Moser and John
J. McCann, representing the Single Tax
Club of St Louis. However. all proposed
Increases have so far been defeated by the
votes of State Treasurer Pitts Secretary
of State Lesueur ard State Auditor Sci
bert, who believe the valuations of last
year are high enough in most cases. The
work of the board may cause a big fight
In Democratic ranks. The plan to increase
taxes on corporations is a popular one, and
this seems to be the game of the governor
an the attorney general to catch votes for
the next Democratic ticket, and II this
scheme is blocked by other state officials
there may result big fight within the
party ranks.

for Atlantic City, to meet his wife. The
ambassador came on time, accompanied by
his secretary. but as the minutes ran along
into hours without the Temperance of N.
Cambon, it was Immediately surmised that
something had happened to 'disarrange the
original plans for this meeting. II was only
after a stay of two hours and a quarter
that the French ambassador terminated his
visit.
While il continued. Secretary Long and
Admiral Sicard, of the naval war board.
and Assistant Secretary Adee, of the state
department. were called into consultation.
The newspapers had been led by promises
made earlier in the day by members of
the cabinet to expect that a statement
would be given out, explaining the nature
of the answer to Spain, but, to the d!sap-
pointment of their Representatives, it was
announced by Secretary Day that this had
been abandoned, for the reason that 10
make any statement at thfs point would
involve a serious breach OF diplomatic eti-
quette that might embarrass the future ne
gotiations.
The extended stay of the ambassador with
the president opened a wide field of con-
lecture. but in all official quarters there
was reticence as to the nature OF the dis
cussion. From reliable quarters, however,
ii was learned that the conference did not
result in any change in the conditions al
ready laid down. but that it was devoted to
an explanation of them in detail. IT was
said that no new condition of affairs had
arisen by reason of the ambassadors call,
and that there would be no need Of another
| cabinet meeting to consider new factors.
The case remained, it was said, as fixed by
the cabinet early in the day. and the next
| move was to transmit these terms to Spain
and await her reply.
Immediately following the long conference
the French ambassador and NJ. THE baut
returned to the French embassy, and then
began the hard work of reducing to cipher
! the American peace conditions, together
| with the results of the conference. and
transmitting the same to Madrid. The am
bassador was smiling and apparently We'll
pleased with the result of the conference.
| All the staff of the embassy were engaged
| on the cipher work, as it was long and
| intricate process.
| Allowing for the difference Of the time
between Washington and Madrid, the terms
could not reach the Spanish capital before
midnight tonight, and would not get be-
fore the Spanish ministry before noon to-
| morrow.
There was little news of interest from the
field Of war to-day. An agreeable item was
| the announcement that the wreckers had
practically succeeded in their efforts to save
the Spanish cruiser, Maria Teresa. Lieu
tenant Hobson has already started for his
home, in Alabama, and will sail in day
or two from Tampa, directly for Santiago,
to endeavor to raise the Colon.

THIS PRIEST A HERO.
Rev. Father Nash saved . Man From
Drowning and Wouldn't
Admit 1t.

From the New York Press.
Father Nash, rector of the Church Of the
Sacred Heart, Clermout avenue, between
Park and Flushing avenues, Brooklyn, is
attempting mcdestly to conceal his identity
as the man who rescued Daniel Murphy. Of
No. 4l2 West Seventeenth street, Manhat-
tan, from drowning at West Brighton on
Sunday night. But the people who saw the
heroic act. ard there were hundreds who
did. will not be a party to the secret, and
have insisted in telling about il.
Father Nash was in bathing opposite the
Prospect hotel, in West Brighton. He is
good swimmer, and was out some distance
beyond the more timid ones. Murphy was
also swimming near, when Father Nash
heard him scream and then saw him sink.
With long. powerful strokes, the priest
plowed the water to the spot where Nur-
ply had disappeared. When he came to the
surface he seized him with one arm and
struck out for the beach with the other.
1t was a long hard pull. for Murphy is
big man. and in his half-lifeiess condition
was a dead weight to carry: But the good
Father. stuck manfuily, to his task and
finally laid him high and dry on the sands.
Dr. j. A. Hill. of the Prospect hotel. was
called and soon had Murphy out of danger.
Father Nash was not to be found IN his
home last night. and his servants evident
" had been instructed not to discuss his
, part in the rescue of Murphy. but one Of
them finally admitted to reporter that
lit was Father Nash himself who had
saved Murphy's life.

respects its most progressive city. Last
night General Miles landed. and this morn
ing took possession and raised the stars
and stripes. The inhabitants received the
Americans with open arms and gave them
the widest and most exaggerated well
come, indicating that the population was
ripe for the revolt which was predicted
as soon as American troops touched the
shore.
The forces landed at Guanica on Mon
day have been moved, and now hold the
terminus of the railway connecting Yauco
sition except on Tuesday morning at day
light, when the advance skirmishers
pushed into a force Of Spaniards occupy
pying a house on TIE Yauco road.
The skirmishers. under hot fire, fell
back. and then again came gallantIy for
ward, driving the enemy for a mile from
the Notifications into the bush. In the
encounter three Americans were wounded:
Captain Edward ]. Gibbons, Company A.
shot in the left leg.
Captain B. A. Bostwick. Company L.
in the left arm, slightly.
Private James Drummond, Company K,
In the neck.
The enemy lost three killed and fourteen
wounded.
After the action it was believed that the
enemy intended to contest the advance
from Guanica, and General Miles made
preparations to send General Wilson's
troops to Ponce with a view to throwing
them between Ponce and the enemy and
closing in on the latter from both direc-
tions. He sent word to Captain Higginson,
