SOUND REASONING.

Salt Lake Tribune : The purchase OF
fighting cruisers lie . good thing, Q step
which reduces the probability ofwar. but
il is . shame that now, after thirty.tbree
years Of profound peace. such purchases
are necessary. We wonder if this coun-
try will ever be caught in such q predic-
sment again. A ship represents nothing
in its material form but labor. During
the past Eve years there have been idle
men enough in this country to have built
. navy IS great Is that of Great Britain.
Those two ships. bought OF Monday, If
fully armed. must have cost $1,000, 900.
That would have given IL. 900 men en-
ploymens for 3 year At 90 each per day.
Thus employed the money would have
returned to the general circulation among
the people. Which is the better way

excitement ever since Mr.. Orr, who was
a prominent young hardware dealer OF
that city, while making glass OF
lemonade in his home last Friday night
was wounded by a bullet fired through
window, from the effects of which ne
died the following day. There was ap-
parently absolutely no clue TO the as
sassin. Mr.. Orr had just returned from
choir practice at a church OF whose
choir he was a member, while his wife
was the oEganist.
Bloodho,inds were put on the trail,
but they were unable TO run down the
assassin. After an inquest extending
over two days, a verdict was returned
charging Mrs. Orr, the murdered mans
wife, with being the instigator OF the
crime. Miss Rachel Morris promi-
nent young Jewess; Manse Castle, VIII
Sanders, Dennis Ricard, Rilla Weaver
and Susie Jacobs (the latter five ne
groes) were charged with compncity In
the crime. Castle was arrested sun
day and barely escaped lynching that
night The mob had already gathered
to swing him up. and would undoupt-
edly have carried out their plan but for
the earnest appeal in behalf of law and
order made by Judge Thomas, who ap-
peared on the scene just in time to pre-
vent the lynching. He addressed the
crowd. beseeching them TO let the law
take it's course, and promised that the
accused should have n speedy trial.
Castle was accused OF firing the shot
that killed Orr, but he denied his guilt.
According 10 his story one Of the negro
women involved in the case had told
him that Mrs. Orr wanted her husband
killed and would pay 5000 to have the
deed done. Castle agreed to the prop
osition, but the latter weakened and
turned the job over TO Ricard Ricard
likewise denied his guilt and accused
Castle. The negro women in the case
had been employed as cook and sef-
want I'm the Orr household, and IL was
shown at the inquest that they had
simply acted as agents OF Mrs. Orr IN
securing a man TO do the murder.

Insurgents Made a Desperate
Attempt to Capture the City.
Frightful Panic Reigned.

Copyright, 1898, the Associated Press.)
Manila, Aug. 3, via Hong Kong. Aug.
s.-The rumor Is current here that the
insurgents, fearful that peace will be
concluded between Washington and
Madrid and that the Americans will
withdraw from the Philippines. are the
more strenuous in their desires and
efforts to capture Manila. Sunday
night there was heavy bombardment,
with heavy modern shells. 1t is gen.
orally believed in the city that the
Americans assisted; and the papers
publish lists of Americans alleged TO
have been killed, including some names
of rank.
There is also report that the Amer
leans have succumbed to fever. and
this misstatement with others like IL,
encourages the Spaniards TO maintain
their suicidal resistance.
On Sunday many shots entered the
town. Several reached the citadel it
self and il is reported that some ladies
were killed. There was a frightfui panic
inside the walls, women and children
shrieking and praying in their terror

barracks, killing five.
The troops turned out just in time to
save Malate fort and the magazine.
The insurgents showered large and
small shots with such precision that
the garrison believed the whole Amer
lean army and fleet were concentrat-
ing their fire. The total Spanish losses
were probably hundred, and many
houses were seriously damaged.
On Monday evening there was fur
ious fusiiade in every direction. Tele-
phonic inquiries were sent out from
Headquarters TO various outposts. No
answer was received from FL Paco. and,
accordingly, squad of horsemen has

NO DEMAND AS
TO CUBAN DEBT

A member of the cabinet says that
Spain had accepted uneQuivocally
nearly all these conditions. He also de-
clared that there is no truth in the re-
port that Spain has made as a conui-
tion of her acceptance a demand to
have the Cuban debt and the question
of the time and method of evacuating
Cuba and Porto Rico referred to the
commissioners for settlement. In con-
nection with her note OF acceptance
certain arguments are made appealing
for the right to Withdraw her troops
from Cuba and Porto Rico with all the
honors of war. the troops TO be allowed
to retain their arms, etc. Requests are
also made for the retention of certain
military property.
All OF these requests will receive
proper consideration In framing the de-
tails of the protocol, but 1t was under
stood that they in no way Affect the
general conditions laid down by the
president, and that the authorities re-
gard Spains note as such full and
complete acceptance of all our terms
that there will be no necessity for q
further exchange of notes between the
two countries.
