j. j. sOUTHALL,s FRAUDS.
Developments in the Time-Check
Swindle at st. Paul.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Some inter
esting facts in connection with the issue of
fraudulent time checks by James H. South
ALL an employee of the engineers office at
st. Paul. Mimi, have come to light since
his arrest An official conversant with the
subject said to-day: "Southall has not been
in the employ of the engineers Office since
last April, when he was discharged as a
result of an investigation made at that time.
The inquiry then made indicated that some
fraudulent time checks had been issued, but
so far as then appeared they were not APP
parently of sufficient number to excite sus-
picion that the frauds were of great mag
nitude. SOuthaIl, however, was dropped i'm
mediately from the rolls. 1t was under
stood that he would make good the checks
fraudulently issued, and for this reason
definite action in the case was suspended
The present agitation regarding 1t is prob
ably due to the fact that the banks which
held some of these checks asscollateral had
become apprehensive as to their value and
were anxious for payment The works at
St. Paul come under the direct charge or
Colonel King, of the engineers corps, whose
headquarters are at Rock Island, and
think that the reason why action looking to
the arrest of Southall was not taken when
he was discharged was the fear that If the
irregularities suspectedgWere made public at
that time they would destroy the possibility
of the banks recovering any portion of the
money advanced on thestime checks

SPAIN WILL NOT YIELD
ALLEGED OUTLINE OF HER REPLY
TO M'KINLEY'S NOTES.
She VIII Not Tolerate Any Invasion of
Her Rights in Cuba-Arbitra-
ton Suggested.

NEW YORK, March pa dispatch to
the World from Madrid says President
Mckinley has cabled two notes to Spain
this week through Minister Woodford. One
deals with the destruction of the Maine;
the other with President McKinley's plan
of humanitarian Intervention by the United
States in the Cuban war. Both notes are
expressed in strong firm language, without
suggestion or threat. They are, perhaps,
merely preliminary
The Worlds dispatch then repeats the
statements in the Washington dispatches
regarding the Presidents policy, and con-
tinues:
1.-The nearst approach to a threat in
President McKinley's memorandum, which
is said TO be strongly argued and couched
in the most dignified, but unmistakable,
terms, is the statement that in making
fresh contributions for the relief of the suf-
fering people in Cuba, the American peo-
pie expect to see a practical term assigned
for the complete restoration of peace and
order in that island.
.oThe Spanish reply is equally firm. 1t res
olutely asserts the intention of Spain not to
tolerate any invasion of Spanish right or
any step intended to lead to the overthrow
of the Spanish rule in Cuba. Spain depre-
Gates sending wholesale relief in the manner
suggested by President Mckinley on the

aratists is the term employed, even If 1t
does not lead to actual conflict between the
authorities of the United States and Spain.
But Spain does not refuse the aims She
will not resist this step. probably.
Spain lays much stress on the efforts she
has made to satisfy the views of the United
States. and to preserve cordial relations
while endeavoring to implant home rale,
and thus hasten the paciication of Cuba,
which has been retarded so long only be-
cause of the moral and material assistance
given from the United States and the large
rebellion fund raised in North America.
ION the Maine question Spain makes con-
ciliatory but vague response hoping that
inst solution will be found, declining to ac-
cent the American naval court verdict as
final. and suggesting possible arbitration of
the entire question. along with her own
claims against the United States.
on the whole, the exchange Of diplomatic
notes leaves the matter exactly where it
was. except that the issue is more clearly
defined. Spain will not yield an inch.
The American minister had an official
interview with the ministers of foreign af
fairs and of the colonies. Seniors Gullon and
Moret, at Senior Gullon's private residence.

military matters, it may not be amiss fol
me e state that, SO far as I am capable
of judging, the promotions Of Colonel
Bobleter would be for the good Of the
service. He has seen service before, hae
had long experience in the national
guard, and has been for many years q
close student of military affairs. AL.
most immed iately on entering camp he
was made commander Of the brigade to
which the Twelfth regiment is attached
q position he has held ever since, with
the exception Of the two instances in
which he was assigned to the I command
Of the third division. Through his eff.
forts his brigade has attained high
state of proficiency and is now. ranked
among the very best in Camp Thomas
He is every inch a soldier, a firm disci.
plinarian, q good organizer, and possess
es in an eminent degree the qualities OF
successful leader There need be no
fear on the part of anyone but that, il
given larger sphere Of action, he will
fill it with the same ability and e&cien-
cy that have been characteristic of his
work in the past.
Col. Bobleter has been relieved of the
temporary command of the brigade and
is once more at the head of bis regiment.
There is great Joy in the camp of the
Twelfth in consequence, says the Mime
apolis Journal. ia
The following resolutions we're unani-
mously adopted by Company A at Camp
Thomas On the Gath of June:
"Whereas the Ladies Society of the
New Uln Turnverein has presented us
with an ample number of abdominal
bandages, and whereas we recognize in
this gift a mantle station of the kindly
and unselfsh interest taken in our wei.
fare, therefore resolved that we express
to the donors our most sincere thanks
for their kindness and assure them u
our appreciation of the timely gift
Further resolved that a copy of these
resolutions be transmitted to the society
and that they also be published in our
home newspapers"
The resolutions are signed by Sergt.
Graf, Corporals Roller and Clasen, Mu-
stefan Stoeckert and Private Eichmann.
Quartermaster Lind says that he has
just finished theequipment ofthe Twelfth.
He has them all fitted out, even to white
gloves. Each man has two pair shoes,
two suits underwear. two pair socks, one
blue flannel shirt, enc hat, two pair blue
trousers, one blouse, one blanket and
one rubber blanket. He has an entire
outfit for the new recruits also, and as
fast as they can take them away each
new man will get an outfit on arrival.
Brown duck summer suits are now on
the way to camp Thomas for the Twelfth.

The friends of Col. Bobleter will be
pleased to learn that the efforts being
put forth to have him appointed a bril-
gadier general are very apt to be crowned
with success. On the 18th of June Con-
gresham Nice leary wrote the Colonel
as follows: I have this day urged the
president to promote you to the rank Of
a brigadier general, presenting to him
q petition to which I had secured the
signatures of both our senators and all
our representatives. We made strong
case for you and I trust that the we'll
deserved promotion may soon come to
you. IT, III. zz,2=@4 sss .s

Bobleter is an adept IN the matter of

Chaplain Clemens writes the Pioneer
Press that the promotion of Col. Boble-
ter is earnestly desired by the regiment,
not for its interest, but for his. 'There
is not commanding officer of any regi-
ment," says Clemens, ''that is more be-
loved by officers and men than Col. Bob
Letter. No promotion in the military line
is too good for the colonel and we all
hope that his appointment as brigadier
general will soon be forthcoming"
