HE WILL LOSE NO TIME
Murderer Works Will Be Quickly
Brought to Trial.
EITHER BONDS OR JAIL
Witnesses Will Not Be Permitted to Es-
cape in the Future - Murderer
Riley VIII Attempt to
Prove Insanity.

The county attorney means 10 lose
no time in bringing murderers to trial
hereafter. and when they are turned
loose by iuries and people talk about
the failure to convict. ii cannot be said
that ii was because of delay or lack
of diligence on the part of the prose-
cutting officers. On Sunday night Rob
ert Works shot and killed Edward DAILY.
on Monday the coroner's inquest was
held and yesterday morning Chief Dep
uty Connolly filed an information
against Works in the district court
charging him with murder in the first
degree Works victim will be buried
to-day. Judge Clancy issued bench
warrant for Works. which was served
on him in Jail. and he will probably
be arraigned this morning. Mr. Con-
molly also does not propose that any OF
the witnesses shall escape, and upon
his request yesterday, Judge Clancy
made an order that James Brennan,
John D. Ryan, John Landers, Maurice
Flynn and Ed Costello give $500 bona
each for their appearance at the trial.
A similar order was made IN regard
TO Charles b. Wright. the states wit
ness against Gus Nelson and Martin
Herrison. who kept out of the way OF
the trial. and he will give bonds or go
TO iail. so that he can be found when
next he is wanted.
Thomas j. Riley, the assassin of Pat
rick A. Largely. was TO have pleaded
Yesterday, but on the application of his
attorney Judge Clancy postponed 1t
until next Saturday. w. j tNaughten,
Riley's attorney, made an affidavit in
support of his request for the postpone
ment of the plea and the setting OF the
case for trial. According to the afli-
davit. Riley is so crazy that he is IN
capable of making an affidavit of his
own. and was just as insane at the time
he killed Largely
Mr. Naughten sets forth in his sworn
paper that he cannot. for want of ma
terial testimony, which he expects To
procure, safely proceed to trial: That
the testimony expected is materlal IN
this, that affiant expects to show by
such testimony that Thomas j. Riley.
the defendant above named. is. and
for a long time has been. insane, and
was insane at the time of the commits
sion of the alleged offense set up in the
information. He expects to prove such
insanity by witnesses residing outside
the state of Montana, and also by wit
nesses residing in the state: that af-
fiant is at present in correspondence
with witnesses in the city of Lincoln.
Neb, in regard to the said Riley, but rs
vet affiant has not been able to secure
the names and addresses of all the wit
nesses on behalf of said defendant. in
the city of Lincoln; that as afiiant is in
formed and believes there will be addi-
tional counsel engaged in the action
and he has not been informed of the
names of said additional counsel; that
affiant makes this affidavit for the rea-
son that he believes the said Thomas
J. Riley incapable to make an affidavit.
wherefore affiant. on behalf of Thomas
J. Riley. asks that the trial of the said
action be postponed"

Compartment.
Havana, March 1.-The divers on the
Right Arm got to work this morning
in earnest. Captain Everett. chief of
the divers, was I'M charge. and the wat
er being lower than usual, it was seen
that the steerage hatch was partially
clear. though blocked to some extent
by one of the smokestacks. The divers
succeeded in entering the after torpedo
compartment, where they hoped to find
the bodies of Lieutenants Jenkins and
Merritt, as well as the remains of MEM
bers of the crew of the battleship. The
Spanish officers directing the divers of
the government of Spain. called on
Captain Sigsbee to-day on board the
lighthouse tender Fern and were given
all the information they needed.

WAR INEVITABLE.
Governor Rogers Says That Washington
Is Ready 20 Fight.


Tacoma, March 1.-The Leader to-
morrow will print an interview with
Governor John X. Rogers, in which he
says:
War is inevitable. Present indica-
tons can point To no other conclusion.
OF course a change may occur which
would affect the outlook but. as mat
tiers now stand, believe that this coun-
try must fight. The national honor has
been attacked and we must rally TO It's
defense. In case of war there must
be no division in this country; there
can be none. The people, without re-
gard To politics, will rally about the
president as the representative of the
country and assist him in the fight. AS
long as war lasts. and the country is
in danger, he would be supported by
the whole people.
II am still of the opinion that / eX-
pressed a few days ago. that nothing
but & war can save the present dy
nasty of Spain. Peace societies have
been forming all over the country for
the past 100 years, advocating the set
tlement of all difficulties by arbitration.
They are well-meaning people, but |
do not believe that they will attain
their object until explosives and arma-
ment become so dangerous that war Is
simply suicidal for all who engage in
it, That time has not yet come. The
Washington state militia is ready for
a conflict"

the Americans and the pride of the
Spaniards. who. IL an indemnity were
demanded in case the disaster proves
to be the result of a crime, might re-
fuse point blank, haughtily indignant at
them guilty. and continues: Cuba is
q royal morsel which tempts a people
intoxicated by their strength and con-
WINGED that Monroeism is the Alpha and
Omega of international law. But 1t is
still TO be hoped that the conservative
forces are so powerful that they will at
the last moment stop the people and
the government on the threshold of an
adventure which would not only be big
with the gravest consequences from an
international point of view, but which
might induce at home a sort of revolu-
ton and the development of the most
dreadful phase of Caesarism, that evil
which gnaws the vitals of every dem
ocracy"

Madrid. March 1.-Greater anxiety is
visible here in regard to the verdict of

Constant rumors of possible hostilities

The Monitor Minntonomah Is Nearly
Ready for Sea.
Philadelphia, March 1.-The work of
preparing for sea the war vessels now
at League Island is progressing rapid
ly. A naval officer stated to-day that
the only one to go into commission i'm
mediately is the monitor Miantonomah.
and large number of men have been
working on her continually. With the
exception of receiving her coal. she is
almost ready for sea. Steam was got
ten up in her boilers to-day. in order
to test her engines, which were found
to be in good working order. At pres
ent she has only a skeleton crew on
board and a full complement of men is
expected tomorrow from Norfolk, New
York and Boston Work on the ram
Katahdin is also nearly completed She
finished coaling to-day.
The eoaling of the cruiser Minneapo-
lis, which was started yesterday. was
continued to-day and will not be COM
pleted for a day or two. The cruiser
Columbia, which has been lying in the
back channel at League Island for some
months. was to-day brought out of her
berth and towed up the Delaware river
to the League Island dry dock. She
was to have been docked to-day. but it
was found that the tide was too low to
permit her to enter safely. She Will go
in at high tide tomorrow morning.
Her bottom will be cleaned and painted
and some minor repairs will be made.

the Tortugas, and the artillery at the
barracks Will join in paying the last
honors.
The second days session of the court
of inquiry is over and nothing new is
known regarding the fate of the Maine,
at all events. outside of members Of the
court. Some who confidently declared
a week ago that the court had found
that the vessel was intentionally blown
up. have modified this conjecture and
for the most part admit that such re-
ports must have been based largely on
speculation. Even naval officers are
apparently as much in the dark as the
civilians as to what the courts opin-
ion is at the present moment. Excel
lent progress has been made in the ex
animation and the court will probably
finish its wcrh here tomorrow, when
its members viii be taken back to Ha-
vana on the Mangrove.
Interest in the proceedings Jagged
somewhat to-day. owing to the utter
futility of all attempts to crafty the
general curiosity. The correspondent of
the associated press placed before one
of the members of the court the letter
signed Mauqunasta," giving alleged
details of filling of the Names torpedo
their subsequent explosion by electric
wires. The member OF the court in
question said that neither the letter nor
its developments had been officially be-
fore the court. The Cubans mere are
constantly receiving mysterious mis-
sives from Havana purporting to re-
veal the method by which the Maine
was sent TO destruction. but, as there
are as many suggestions or theories as
there are letters. little reliance can b.
placed upon any.
The general situation here remains
the same. The fleet has not moved
though there are signs of activity which
give rise 10 a rumor that an importan nj
naval step is contemplated. Admiral
Sicard. when questioned on this point
this afternoon. merely reiterated his re-
mark of yesterday. There is no move
