ENGLISH LORD SENT TO JAIL.
Five-Year Sentence Imposed on
William Neville for Defrnuding
a Money Lender

LONDON, Feb. 15.-In the central
criminal court today, Lord William
Neville, forth son of the Marquis of
Abergavenny, who was placed on trial,
charged with fraud in connection with
the suit of Sam Lewis, the money
lender, against Lieut.. Spencer Clay to
recover FL 113, due on two promissory
notes cashed by Lord Neville, pleaded
guilty of fraud, but claimed he was
not guilty of forgery. He was sentenc-
ed to five years penal servitude.
No celebrated case has ever before
brought such a fashionable crowd to
the Old Bailey. Broughams blocked
the approaches and ladies In their
smartest frocks overf1owed the jury
box and barristers seats. Lady Ne
vile was present. The prisoner was
evidently i'll at ease, but he answered
to the indictment in clear tones.
The prisoner was hurried off to New
gate prison, where he was allowed an
interview with his wife, and another
lady. After the interviews, Lord Ne
vile was removed to Wormwood
Scrubs prison. The prisoners face
did not evince much surprise at the Sc
verify of the sentence, but his unsteady
gait upon leaving the prisoners dock
showed that he had been hard hit
The sentence caused a great sensa-
ton among those present in court and
many of the ladies there broke out into

The windows were broken in all the

The correspondent of the Associated
Press has conversed with several of
the wounded sailors and understands
from them that the explosion took place
while they were asleep, so that they
can give no particulars as to the cause.
The wounded sailors of the Maine are
unable to explain it. 1t is believed that
the cruiser is totally destroyed.
CONSERVATION Prevails.
The widest CONSERVATION prevails in
Havana. The wharves are crowded
with thousands of people. 1t is be-
neved the explosion occurred in a small
powder magazine. AT a quarter of II
o'clock what remains of the Maine is
still burning.
Capt. Sigsbee and the other officers
have been saved. 1t is estimated that
over 100 of the crew We're killed, but
it is impossible as yet to give exact
details.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The atten-
ton of politicians here is now turned
toward Oregon, where in June the first
members of the F'ifty-sixth congress
will be chosen. Although a small state.
election results there will be of ex-
traordinary interest, as Indicating the
trend of affairs political throughout
the country and as presaging the No
Vember results.
Since the new alignment of parties
on the silver issue Oregon has been
remarkably close, and to an extent an
accurate thermometer of Northwest
ern sentiment.
Two years ago, it will be recalled,
the results came in just before the
republican national convention as
sembled in st. Louis, and, although the
Republicans carried the state, the mar
gin was so narrow as to be somewhat I
disquieting. In the first district Thom-
as H. Tongue, Republican, received 49,
355 votes against 1926 for W. S. Van
derburg, his Populist competitor. In
the Second district, which includes the
city of Portland, William r. Ellis re-
ceived 1857 votes, against II, ,239 for
Martin Quinn, Popuist
There were also Independent and
Democratic candidates in each district,
but these figures indicate the running
strength of the two great parties. In
the presidential election, the Novem-
Der following, after a prolonged and
bitter struggle, Mckinley received 49,
772 votes and Bryan 1862, which cor
roborated the impression that the state
was still close.
Ex-Representative Charles A. Towne,
of Minnesota the Silver Republican
orator, has already gone to Oregon on
speaking tour and, from present indl-
cations, both parties are likely to put
their heaviest artillery into that
state between now and next June
Besides these two congressional dis
tricts, the Legislature to be chosen will
elect a senator for the term expiring
March 8, 1903, to fill the existing va
cancy.

Der of men, estimated at between

through the ice on Lake Erie several
miles up the lake, are believed to have

NO NEWS OF THE NEVADA.
Authentic Information Regarding
the Probable Disaster Is Still
Wanting.

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 15.-No fur
ther news has been received concern
ing the reported loss of the Clara Ne
vada in Alaskan waters. Owing TO
the many conflicting rumors, hopes for
her safety have not yet been aban-
doned. On. account of the remoteness
of the scene of the reported disaster
it is impossible to get anything au-
thentic. Unless some unexpected
steamer arrives no definite news is ex-
pected before next Thursday.
The latest report was the one brought
down by the steamer Excelsior, which
arrived today. Capt. Donnelson said
that just before he left Juneau the
steamer Coleman arrived and reported
that wreckage and bedding marked
"Hassler'' had been washed ashore at
Seward. He said:
1.-The Clara Nevada was formerly
government vessel known as the Hass-
Ter, and I have no doubt that she is
at the bottom of the sea, at least such
of her and her effects as was not
burned, for the Seward citizens report
having seen blazing vessel on the
water"
The Excelsior arrived at Juneau five
hours after the steamer RoSalie, which
reported passing the Clara Nevada.
