OUT OF TROUBLE AT LAST.
Last Case Against w. II. Hill, in Connec-
tion with Alleged Land Frauds, Dis
missed by Judge Foster.

TOPEKA, Kan. April 19.-Tn the fed
eral court here Judge Foster dismissed
the criminal case against w. II. Hill
for perjury. Hill was the founder of
Hill City, Kan. He was arrested about
two years ago on the charge of obtain
ing government land under false pre-
lenses. 1t was charged that he would
pretend to represent minors of
old soldiers widows and procure
titles to land for them in western
Kansas 1t is claimed that he OBJ
tanned about 1870 quarter sections of
land in that way. The minors, 1t is
charged, never got any of it and had
no knowledge that he had secured
them any land. Hill was tried on sew.
eral different charges. but each time
escaped on technicality. The case
dismissed yesterday was the last
brought against him.

THE SPANISH PRESS.
They Consider the Pa'-age Of the Ssnate's
Resolutions "a Proof That America
wants to Annex Cuba.

MADaIp, April -. The usual sun
dav bull fight absorbed the interest of
the populace, ,overshadowing the ac-
ton of the United States senate as a
topic of discussion. The general tone
of the press is firmly warlike. FL Lib
eral moderate republican, welcomes
the senate's decision, although 1t is
more hostile since it helps to olsen
tangle the situation, which is becom-
ing insupportable to the Spaniards, as
shown by the outbursts at Malaga and
elsewhere I'll Liberal expresses the
hope that the conference committee
will come to a decision quickly, ena-
bling Spain to know definitely her
fate.
The journals which comment on the
senate's resolutions consider them as
further proof of Americas scheme OF
annexation, and point out that 1T comes
on the very day on which the Havana
delegates proposed the starting to con
fer with the insurgents. Government
circles feel that the resolutions are O
fresh obstacle raised to the union o.
the insurgents and the autonomists IN
