Orange county about nine years ago and
was sentenced to be hanged. He mar

the Jail. and the superstitious ones and
Psychologists declared that he was An
schlag's ghost. Tom has a nomadic dis
position and likes to chase around nights
The other evening he got into fight with
another cat, who chewed nearly all of
Toms tail off. The black cat, however.
came back. Jailer Kennedy bound up the
injured member and Tom will probably
soon be we'll again, as the tail is healing by

leaving Key West, and knew nothing of the
action taken by the United tSates. A tor
pedo boat was at once dispatched to Cap
tain Sampson, on board the New York.
The Indiana, Iowa, Detroit, Nashville and
Montgomery are being painted black. All
the officers here regard war as being immi-
nent, and intense enthusiasm is exhibited
from the youngest jackie to the oldest COM
mander. over the prospects. Later in the
day an order to stop painting the vessels
of the squadron black was issued. This
was caused by query from the navy de-
partment to Captain Sampson as to
whether he could suggest a better color.
He replied, recommending gray or drab,
but no answer has yet been received to this
suggestion. The Nashville and the New
York are the only ships which have been
completely repainted, and the Iowa, the
Montgomery, the aMrblehead and the De-
troit are still fair semblance Of what was
once the white squadron.
The arrival of the new warships added
fuel to the fire of excitement, and the
SHORES rang with cheers as the vessels
steamed into the harbor.
Owing to the darkness it was impossible
to make out their exact identity, but they
are believed to be the cruiser Cincinnati,
aad the gunboats Wilmington and Castine.
Additional precautions were taken on all
the ships tonight. They have everything
in readiness to pull out at moments no.
tice. The gun crews sleep by their guns.
The extraordinary measures in force are
merely in the belief of all naval officers
that Spain will refuse the demand of the
United States, and that war will ensue.
The widest rumors are current, and the
Cubans can hardly contain themselves for
joy over the latest steps taken by this gov-
ernment. Commander West, late chief of
staff to Admiral Sicard, will soon leave
here to take command of the Princeton.
The coast survey steamer Bache sailed
for Havana tonight, presumably to help
carry away the American officials. The
steamer Olivette, from Havana, which ar
rived tonight, brought all the officers of
the Maine except Lieutenant Commander
Wainwright. With the exception of Chap
lain Chadwick they proceeded to Tampa on
the way north
Captain Sigsbee said, when shown the
Associated Press bulletin regarding the
ultimatum of Spain: This looks like war"
Captain Sigsbee expressed himself as
very glad to get back upon American soil.
He believes that stringent measures should
be taken to protect the American citizens
now in Havana. The Olivette brought nine
bodies recovered from the wreck of the
Maine. The body of Lieutenant Jenkins
was sent through to Pittsburg. The eight
others will be buried here tomorrow.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 26.-The

nouncement that within two weeks it will
cut its running schedule between Kansas
City and Chicago to thirteen hours fiat
The present schedule is fifteen hours anG
twenty minutes. 1t is probable that com.
peting lines will meet the cut. The Altor
and Burlington claim they can make the
run in still less time if necessary. The
Rock Island, whose line is longer thar
either of the other roads, it is said intends
to cut passenger rates if the running sched
ule is reduced beyond its ability to com
pete in that regard. The reduction in tho
schedule is the direct result of the rate wal

TO TAKE FOREST BACK
Detective Price of New York Arrives
Finally

r. 8. Price. sergeant Of detectives of
Greater New York, arrived here last even
ing over the Santa Fe. armed with a war
rant and the necessary papers from Gov
ernor Black of New York for the return Of
DR.. w. E. Forest, who is under Indictment
for grand larceny in the first degree.
Sergt. Price came without any extradi-
ton papers from Governor Budd. contrary
to expectations. Chief Glass said yester-
day afternoon that Price would probably
come west by way of Ogden and stop first
at Sacramento to secure the authority from
the California executive to take his pris-
oner out of the state. Sergt. Price decided,
however, to come by the Santa Fe route,
as he would have had to wait over "a hours
in Chicago. and, in preference to. that
length of stay in the Windy City, chose a
few hours in Los angeles. with the extra
ride north today. This will enable him to
reach Sacramento by Monday and secure
his extradition papers from Governor Budd
and be back here by Wednesday at the out
side.
Price thinks that the authorities have a
very strong case against DIR. Forest.
Alexander McElwee, a broker at so Broad
way, is the complainant against DR.. For
est. McElwee succumbed to the influence
of Forests fine offices and gave him six
certificates of stock of the Bonsilate But
ton company, valued at $4,000, with the re-
quest that he raise $500 for him on them.
DR.. Forest went to r. J. Freeman, dealer
in oils, whom as physician he was
treating for rheumatism. He represented
that the certificates belonged to him. They
were valued at par, the doctor claimed.
and were paying per cent, and, instead of
securing only the nominal amount that
McElwee desired, he is said to have got
$500. which he failed to turn over to Nc
Elwee, but kept himself. Forest closed his
offices and came west.
The exemplified copy of the indictment
also arrived yesterday afternoon, and this
will be used by the prosecution in the en-
deavor to hold Forest for examination to-
morrow. Price stated that he had under
stood that J. F. Waterman. one of the at
torneys for Forest. had gone to Sacramen-
to to consult with Governor Budd, with a
view to inducing him not to grant the ex-
tradition papers.
