CLASH IN THE
 POLICE COURTS Prosecuting Attorney Spi- netti Refuses to
 Prosecute.
He Insinuated That Judge COnlan Was ShiPking
 His Duty.
The Charge of Battery Against Cap tain Engelberg Upon Bennie
 Loy Dismissed.

Prosecuting Attorney Spinetti of Judge Campbell's court refused yester- day to prosecute the case of Captain Engelberg Of Gods Regular Army, charged with battery upon Bennie Loy, the nine-year-old boy, who is brother to Alice Loy, the little girl so shame fully abused by General Duggan' commander of Jesus Christ's Army.
 The case of Engelberg and also the case of Mrs. J. A. Clark, charged with cruelty to the little girl, were originally assigned to Judge Conlans court, but Thursday, at the request of eX-Judge Lawler, who represented the defend ants, they were transferred to Judge Campbells court.
 When the cases were called yesterday Spinetti said: "I have no desire to shirk my duty, and am prepared at all times to try all cases assigned to this court, no matter how long they may take, but I decidedly object to try cases that do not belong to this court, and which, through caprice or the de- sire to shirk a plain duty, have been sent to this court by another Judge"
 Lawler said that Judge Conlan had no desire to shirk his duty at any time. It was at hlS request that the cases were transferred, and he was sure that his Honor would fairly try the cases.
 AS it was near the noon hour 1t was decided to go on with the EngelberG case at o'clock. At that hour Spi- netti again gave voice to his objec- tions, and taking his hat walked out of the courtroom. This left the Judge without a prosecuting attorney, but rather than not go on with the case he agreed to examine the witnesses him self.
 The boy was put on the stand and testified that Engelberg was in the habit of shaping him on the ears, ana spanking him when he was naughty. He made him cry with the pain Once Engelberg hit him on the hand with lath and cut his thumb.
 John Pray, a member of the army, was called as witness, but to the sur prise of Secretary Kane he said he never saw Engelberg beat the boy, al- though Kane declared that Pray told him he was in the room on one or two occasions when the boy was beaten and remonstrated with Engelberg. The Judge thought that no unusual cruelty had been shown, but only enough to correct the boy, as all boys needed at times. He would dismiss the case.
 As the little girl, Alice Loy, is too sick in Sacramento to be brought to the city the case against Mrs. Clark was continued for ten days, and With the consent of Secretary Kane she was allowed to go on her own recogn1zance.

bulent mood, and applied several vile epithets to Dunne. They became en- gagged in a quarrel, shot was fired and Perkins fell to the floor mortally wounded with a bullet in his brain Dunne hurriedly left the place. and nothing more was heard of him until the dispatch was received yesterday afternoon, announcing his arrest at Stockton Why the witnesses who were present at the time of the shooting re- main so reticent is puzzling to the po- lice.
 Walter l.. Hornbeck, proprietor of the saloon, says that he was notified of the occurrence about 2 o'clock yesterday morning by his brother, Arthur Horn beck, who generally relieves Dunne in the morning. When he reached the sa- loon it was deserted. He found Per kins lying on the floor in a room off the bar, and at once telephoned for police aid. Perkins was shot in front of the bar. and, according to the story of Ar thur Hornbeck, was lying on the floor, when he went to notify his brother, who lives at 629 Post street, of the shooting. How Perkins got into the side room is equally mystifying to the police. None of those present in the saloon will acknowledge carrying or dragging him into the room.
 When Perkins was removed to the Receiving Hospital Dr. Toomey, who attended him. pronounced him beyond all medical aid. The bullet entered the center of his forehead and ranged back ward into the brain.
 It is claimed by those who know Dunne that he was jealous of Perkins. Dunne is living with a rather comedy young woman, who gave her name to the police as Mary V. Dunne, but who is better known to them as Fannie Douglass She was in the saloon up to within a few minutes. of the shooting, and if is generally believed that jeal-

o11sv was the real incentive for the shooting. Being jealous of Perkins, Dunne took advantage of the quarrel with the stranger to engage Perkins in the fight, which will undoubtedly result in his death. Perkins is about 56 years of age, and Dunne probably few years younger. Prior to going to work for Hornbeck, about five weeks ago, Dunne was engaged in Jim Carr's sa- loon at the end of Geary street.
 Dunne was arrested in Stockton inn mediately on the arrival of the train from San Francisco. He was in the act of leaving the train when he was recognized by Deputy Sheriffs Wall and Black, and promptly arrested. When asked for an eXplanationsof the shoot ing, Dunne said;
 Eyes. it is true I shot Perkins. He has freouently threatened to kill me, and I determined to defend myself"
 Last evening the murderous barten- der was brought from Stockton and locked up In the City Prison.
 T shot in self defense he remarked. Perkins has repeatedly made the re- mark that he would do me- and I con- cluded not to take the worst of it. Af- ter entering the saloon where the shoot ing took place I saw him brutally as- sault a man named John B. Chrystal. While I was trying to stop the blood that flowed from an ugly gash over ChrystaFs right eye, Perkins picked up a beer glass and after threatening to brain me, started after me. Thinking he intended to seriously injure me I drew my revolver and fred I hope he will not die, as I did not fire with the intention of killing him.
 Chrystal was subsequently, taken to police headquarters by Officer Prouse. He was intoxicated and could not give anv tangible account of what had oc- curred in the saloon. He, however, said that Perkins knocked him down and attempted to kick him when Dunne Ixf orfarod

 night bartender in the Junction saloon, at the corner of OFarrell and Jones streets. Dunne left the city immediate ly after the shooting, and was caught at Stockton by Sheriff Cunningham, who was notified to be on the lookout for him, as it was soon learned by the police that he would in all probability head that way, as he has friends living in the San Joaquin Valley.
 There were several people in the sa- loon at the time of the shooting, but the stories told by them are SO vary ing that it is not known just what led up to the affray. None of them are willing to admit that the fatal shot was fired by Dunne. They know all the cir cumstances leading up to the instant the shot was fired. From that time on all is blank to them. They declare that they did not see a revolver in Dunne's hand. and but for the fact that Dunne left the city after the shooting it would have been difficult to fasten the crime on him.
 Notwithstanding the reticence of all the parties concerned, it was learned that Perkins went into the saloon early yesterday morning and picked a quar- rel with a stranger. They were dis cussing the Maine disaster, and the dr. gument soon led to fight. The strang- CT was struck in the face, and Dunne then interfered. After washing the blood from the strangers face Dunne cautioned Perkins against creating any further trouble. Perkins was in tur-

IRENE LYNCH, THE MISSING GIRL.
Her Parents Believe That She Was Kidnapped While Crossing
 Union Square
Union Square.

A veil of mystery and shadow the sudden disappearance of little Irene Lynch, who has not been seen by her friends since she left her home at 524 Geary street last Wednesday afternoon. No trace of her whereabouts can be ascertained and she has completely disappeared from sight as if the earth had opened and swallowed her. Her distracted parents can advance no reason why she would willingly leave home as she was always happy and had no possible cause for running away. It is believed by the girls father, Daniel Lynch, that she had no in tention of running away. but was abducted by an old man who was attracted by Irene's pretty face and her musical ability while attending one of her public cornet recitals at the Mining Fair. It was noticed and remarked at the time that the man took an unusual interest in the girl as he made several inquiries as to who she was and where she lived and at every opportunity spared no pains in pra:sing her musical ability to bystanderS.
 It is this man that the distracted father believes is the cause of his daughters sudden disappearance.

cial Information reached the authori-
ties here late this afternoon that the
Spanish squadron has been sighted on
the island OF Curacao, one OF the
Dutch West Indies, lying on the north
coast OF Venezuela. This information
was regarded as OF vital Importance.
as IL not only fixed the position OF the
enemy. but disclosed the purpose OF
the Spanish admiral to olude Admiral
SampsOn's fleet and make his way
through the Caribbean. probably to
Cuba. The island Of Curacao was orig
inaIly Spanish, and Is peopled mainly
by descendants OF Spaniards, though
II is now one OF the Dutch possessions.
The Spanish ndinirars course was also
influenced by the fact that the French
cable, starting from Caracas, Nenezue-
In. touches at the Island OF Curacao,
thence proceeds northward through the
Caribbean to Hayti, with spurs run
ming east and west TO Porto Rico and
Cuba respectively. He Is thus enabled
TO get in touch from Curacao with the
Spanish authorities In Cuba and Porto
Rico, and through them directly with
the Spanish admiralty ut Madrid.
No immediate battle with Admiral
Simpsons fleet il expected. and the
Spaniards, as seem likely, have sue
cecded In passing south OF the Amcri-
