WAR TARIFF FOR SANTIAGO.

Washington, July 19.-The war tar
III for Santiago was signed by Presi-
dent Mckinley after a brief confer
ence late Monday afternoon with Sec
retaries Gage and Alger. Instructions
were Immediately cabled to the au-
thorities in charge of Santiago by
Secretary Alger so that the tariff can
be put in force at once. The new tar
III abolishes the discriminative tariff
now in operation there, the rates for
the different countries at Cuban ports
varying. This country took as its
basis the rates accorded the products
OF Spain and applies them to all coun-
tries, not even excepting the United
States. The most important change
effected is the reduction of tonnage
duty on ships carrying 1000 tons or
more which go in and out Of the pert
from the present rate of 81 ton to a
rate of 20 cents per ton. The heavy
export duty on tobacco and Certain
other Cuban products, and the 5 per
cent. export tax on iron ore are re-
tanned.

TeutOns Claim Right of

But Dewey Says No and
Restr aims Impertinent
Germans.

London, July 19.-The Hong Kong
correspondent of the Daily Mail says
United States Consul Wildman in
forms me that as the German cruiser
Irene was passing Mariyeles, off Man
liza, the other day, the United States
dispatch boat Hugh McCulloch was
sent after her to ask her to stop. AS
the Irene refused to obey shell was
sent across b. bow and the small
boat went to discover what she was
doing. The German admiral protested
and insisted that German ships had
the right to enter the harbor without
being searched, a claim which Dewey
declined to recognize. 1t is reported
that Admiral Won Diedrichs, who is
in command of the German squadron
at Manila, interviewed Captain
Chichester, of the British cruiser I'M
mortalite, as to what he would do if
the Germans interfered with the bonn
bardment of Manila. Captain Chi
chester replied that only Dewey ana
himself knew that.

LIVED AT WATERLOO.
Wisconsin Man Murdered and His
Slayer Sent to Prison.

Chamberlain, S. D., July 19.-The
sentencing to life Imprisonment of
Lambert H. Jones, Chicago boy, for
the murder of Henry Van Roden,
war veteran. ends for the present, at
least, one of the most interesting muir
der cases ever tried in the state. The
dramatic feature Of the case was the
presence of J. W. c. Jones of Chicago,
father of the defendant. The elder
Jones is associate editor of the Chi
cago Law Journal and is a man of
prominence in the legal profession.
1t is conceded on all sides that he
made a gallant fight for his sons
freedom, doing everything possible
that was honorable, but the evidence
against the young man. while purely
circumstantial, was of so convincing
a nature that the jury could not do
otherwise than convict.
Young Jones and Van Roden lived
together on the east bank of the Mis-
souri, river, south Of this city. The
latter was an old man. His widow
and son reside at Waterloo, Wis.
About June 10, 1897, Van Roden dis
appeared, and to inquiries as to his
whereabouts Jones replied that the old
man had gone east to visit his son.
Just prior to the disappearance of Van
Roden Jones borrowed a skiff and a
short piece Of rope from a neighbOr
saying he wished to catch driftWoOd
in the Missouri river He afterward
returned the boat, but not the rope.
Wood owned by Van Roden was sold
by Jones, who claimed to have pur-
chased it from the old man prior to
his disappearance. In support Of this
he exhibited what purported to be
bill of sale, but which was shown by
have bsen written by a neighbours son
at the dictatiOn of Jones. Clothing
known to have belonged to Van
Roden was worn by Jones. without ap-
parent effort at concealment. Sus-
piciOn against him was strong, but
members Of the Grand Army post of
and others who attempt
ed to ascertain the truth of the mat
ter were thWarted by the failure to
definitely learn the whereabouts or
fate of Van Roden. By accident
young man, Harry Covey, March Il
last, discovered the body Of the old
man in a gulch not far from his
former home. The body had been
buried, but the heavy spring rains and
melting of the snow had washed a
part of the covering off. Although
the remains were badly decomposed,
the attorneys for the prosecution
clearly established the identity Of the
skeleton by articles buried with it.
Around it was wrapped a blanket,
fastened by a rope which was identi-
fed by the owner as the identical rope
borrowed by Jones the day he said he
was going to gather driftwood from
the Missouri river. Much other con-
vincing testimony was introduced On
the part Of the prosecution.

REQUEST TO REMOVE INDECENT
FROM GUANTANAMO DENIED.
NO NEWS SINCE JUNE 7
French Consul and Catholic Bishou
Hear With Astonishment the De-
struction Of Cervera's Squadron
and the Surrender of Santiago
Launch Has Lively Fight

Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay,
July IA steam launch from the
Spanish gunboat Sandoval came down
the bay yesterday afternoon flying
the French flag. The French consul
at Guantanamo was on board, as was
the Spanish bishop of the Catholic
church at Guantanamo. They held a
conference with Commander McCalla
relative to the removal of INDECENT
French subjects from Guantanamo
to the French cruiser now in the
harbor. The request was refused
until the number of persons is def
lnjtely known. The French consul
said there had been absolutely no
communication at Guantanamo with
the outside world since June
Z. He was greatly surprised to
hear of the destruction of
Cervera's fleet and the surrender of
Santiago. The latter news and terms
of the surrender, involving the Guam
tanamO forces, will be communicated
to the Spaniards at once. A launch
from the Marblehead, while scouting
along the west shore of the bay Sat
urday afternoon near the mouth of the
Guantanamo river, was fired upon by
squad of Spanish pickets guarding
the road in that vicinity. The launch
replied with one-pounder and live
" fight resulted. The Marblehead
threw two shells from a six-pounder
into the woods and the fire Of the
Spaniards ceased suddenly. The
launch was not hit.
