F. E. RYER IS
 BADLY WANTED The Young Millionaire Is Aqain in the MeSheS
 of the Law.
The Sequel to the Failure of the West Coast Plumbing
 Company.
Claims Against the Defunct Corpo- ration Are to Be
 Pushed.

When Judge Daingerfield calls the case of the Riverside Iron Works against F. F. Ryer ct al. Friday morn ing, an old scandal with new interpo- latfons will arise to set the tongues of the commercial and financial people of San Francisco wagging once again.
 Shortly after the failure of the West Supply and Plumbing Company to meet its debts and the declaration of insolv- ency, F. F. Ryer, one of the chief stock holders in the company, came into an immense fortune, an inheritance from his father. The contesting attorneys to the petition of insolvency then thought that Ryer was either director or pres- ident of the company, but Ryer swore on the stand that he was neither one nor the other. and that he was in no way responsible for the debts of the corporation.
 Ever since the original trial Critten- den Thornton has been on the hunt for evidence which would tend to prove that Ryer was really president of the defaulttng concern. In that capac- ity Ryer would be liable for the debts of the corporation. Thornton alleges that he has conclusive and absolute proof to show that Ryer not only acted as president, but was president in mo- mine.
 Ryer is now in New York For some time previous to his departure he was pursued by a number of angry claim ants, all laden with summons for depo- sitions and appearances in court. AL lied with Ryer at the time of the orig inal action were Louis F. Arnold and Charles s. Arnold. Louis E. Arnold is now in South Africa, a prosperous con- ductor of a very profitable business. It was he that was indicted by the Grand Jury at the time of the exposure in 1893. Thornton is reaching out for the partner, sCjourning in foreign climes, as we'll as Ryer. On Monday night Mrs. Arnold was served with a subpoena to appear in court on Friday. It Is claimed that she knows a great deal about the matter that the plaintiffs need for their case.
 To. prevent the issue, Thornton, Merzbach were served yesterday with a notice that the Ryer and Arnold az gregation will ask for a commission to take a deposition of Louis E. Arnold in South Africa. If allowed, this will postpone the trial.

OFFICIAL NEWS LACKING.

Government Has No Information From
Commodore Dewey.
WASHINGTON, May SIT is curious
fact that the nation most interested of
all the great powers in the combat that
took place at Manila Sunday should be
among the last officially to know of the
result. Up to the close of office hours
absolutely the only information that
our government had received of the
victory of Commodore Dewey came
through the medium of the press dis.
patches. If the report is true that
Commodore Dewey has begun bonn.
bardment and blockade of the city of
Manila it is unlikely that he can spare
vessel from his fleet to carry the
news to Hong Kong, the nearest cab g
station, so it is not known when official

SOME ANXIETY FELT.

Feared Dewey May Have Lost a Con-
siderable Portion Of His Men,
WASHINGTON, May 3.-The greatest
anxiety is felt in official circles as to
the casualties sustained by the Amer.
can fleet. From the stubborn defense
made by the Spaniards it is feared that
before they burned, blew up or sunk
their ships they managed to inflict
severe damage upon Commodore Dew
ey's squadron. All of the ships en-.
gagged were vulnerable in one respect,
namely, in their lack Of protection to
life. There was not an armored ship
in Commodore Dewey's fleet, the near.
est approach being the flagship Olym.
pia. In all cases, with the exec ption of
some slight protection in the shape of
gun shields, the personnel of the ships
was exposed to the fire of the enemy.
If Commodore Dewey has lost con.
siderable portion of his men it is feared
he will be much embarrassed in the
work of maintaining possession of Ma
Mia for lack Of sufficient force. It may
be, and in fact it is expected, that by
com bination with the insurgents he
will succeed in having his men relieved
of the task of garrisohing Manila.

TAMPA, Fla, May 3.-Eleven regi-

ten light batteries of artillery are now
concentrated at Tampa and Port
Tampa, making a force of about 1000
men. All tho troops recently ordered
here from Mobile, New Orleans and
Chickamauga have now arrived. 1t is
generally believed in Tampa that this
force will be augmented in the near
future by at least two regiments of
cavalry from Chickamauga beside the
artillery. The troops now here are the
First, Fourth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth,
Tenth, Thirteenth, Seventeenth, Twen-
ty-first, Twenty.fourth infantry and
the Ninth cavalry. The Plant system

steamers Olivette and Florida are at it's

Marietta also will be rendered at once.
These three boats have capacity of
1900 men.

Gunboat Nashville Brings in an Impor-

KEY West, May 3.-One of the most
important captures made since the out
break of the hostilities was that of the
Spanish Argonauta by the gunboat
Nashville last Friday, news of which
reached here when the warship arrived.
The Argonauta had on board Colonel
Corijo OF the Third Spanish cavalry,
his first lieutenant, sergeant major,
seven other. ieutenants and ten pri.
Yates and non.commissioned officers.
All were held as prisoners of war.
The steamer also carried large cargo
of arms and Mauser ammunition. She
was bound from Batabano, Spain, for
Cienfuegos, stopping at Port Louis,
Trinidad and Mapzonillo. Her capture
was exciting. .,~-

DEWEY'S INSTRUCTIONS.

They Permitted the Bonn I'd uuent of
Manila If Expedient.
WASHINGTON, May Sit can be
stated on authority that the presidents
instructions to Commodore Dewey do
not involve specifically bombardment
of the city of Manila, but the commo:
dore was instructed to do whatever was
necessary within the limits of civilized
warfare to take possession Of the
islands, and if a bombardment is neces.
sary to this end, one will take place.
1t is expected, however, that our Asiatic
squadron will not lombard the city of
Manila unless it harbors troops, who
are operating extensively against us.

A Successful Performance.

The Woodmen and Royal Neigh

fine rendition Of the play, "a Confed-
crate Spy," last evening. The play
is difficult one for amateur perform
ers to master, but they all proved
themselves equal to the occasion and
assumed their respective roles in a
very satisfactory manner, with per-
haps one little exception, which is
always pardonable with amateurs
the failure to speak loud enough to be
distinctly heard. This however, was
only noticeable in the opening act,
ali due allowance being made for the
disturbance always caused by late ar
rivals among the audience. This
habit Of hardness at public entertain
ments is very annoying and has often
been commented upon by both audi
ences and performers. =
