Drowned at Caldwell,

Judge ]. NJ. Thomas Of Caldwell,
was drowned 10 Bluff creek near the
Caldwell waterworks dam between II
and IL o'clock Sunday night, while
fishing. The supposition Is that he
went into the water while drunk and
was unable to swim. The body was
recovered next morning about $3.50
o'clock.
Thomas went to the creek about II
o'clock that night 70 attempt to land a
big fish which ex.County Commits
sioner Bart Fletcher hooked and was
unable TO land early in the evening.
He was last seen in Harve Hornsr's
drug store at IL o'clock that night.
Thomas remarked to Mr., Horner that
he was going to the creek to angle for
that fish. 1t is supposed that he
went alone.
About 3 o'clock next morning Jack
Ellison, we'll digger at Caldwell,
went to the residence OF Mr.. Horner
and woke him up and asked for q drag
hook to search the creek for Thomas
body, stating that Thomas was
thought TO be drowned, as his
hat and shoes had been found
on the banks Of the creek
and Thomas could not be found
anywhere. An unsuccessful attempt
was made by Ellison, Andy Poulson
and Tuck Finch to recover Thomas
body and the work was abandoned
until morning, when parties went
to the creek and found the remaindes
OF the dead mans clothes and success.
fully dragged the creek for his body.
The body was recovered few feet
below the dam.
It was learned Monday that Andy
Poulson, Tuck Finch and Jack ELL
son, who were with Judge Thomas
when the latter was drowned In Bluff
creek Sunday night, were engaged In
dynxmiting for fish. A charge OF
dynamite was exploded in the water
and number Of fish rose TO the sur
face. Judge Thomas waded In to got
a big fish and went under, failing to
come up. Jack Ellison went In to
rescue Thomas and came near drown
ing himself. Andy Poulson went In
and rescued Ellison. Poulson, Finch
and Ellison will probably be arrested
for violating the fish laws.

Manila, August 3. via Hong Kong.
August 9.-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 consequently the more strenuous
their desires and efforts to capture
Manila. Sunday night there was q
heavy bombardment, with heavy mod
ern shells. 1t is generally believed in
the city that the Americans assisted,
and the papers publish lists of Ameri-
cans alleged to have been killed, includ-
ing some names of rank.
There j. $50 a repor. tIat half the
Americans have succumbed to FEVER
and this mistatement with others like
it, encourages the Spaniards to main
tain their suicidal resistance.
On Sunday many shots entered the
town. Several reached the citadel it
self and it is reported that some ladies
were killed. There was a frightful pan
ic inside the walls, women and chill
dren shrieking and praying in their
terror the whole night through. One
Luneta battery, another exploded at
the Malate 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 army
and fleet were concentrating their fire
on the city.
Many Spaniards had previously re-
solved to cease fighting the moment
the Americans began, but the insur-
gents have subsided and the fort has
been reinforced from the barracks
There has been little fighting in other
directions. The total Spanish losses
are probably 100, but many houses
have been seriously damaged
On Monday evening there was a fu-
rious fusillade in every direction. Tel
ephonic inquiries were sent out from
headquarters to various OutpostS. Nc
answer was received from FL Paso
and accordingly a squad of horsemer
hastened thither In the darkness and
storm the sentries fired and wounded
two. A few such nights would drive
the Spaniards inside the citadel and
then there would be the CHASTITY pros
pect of prolonged devastation and
slaughter, with the inevitable destruc-
tion Of the town and its inhabitants
unless the Americans hastened &c
close in.
On Sunday 1,500 houses at Tondc
were burned and the flames, driven BY

SPAIN GETTING READY.

New York, March 4.-The day
has been full ofreports of a ner-
vous nature. This afternoon it
is said that the Spanish govern
nent bought two cruisers that
were in course of construction
for the account of "a South
American Nation, and that
other ship builders in Europe
had received orders from the
Spanish government.
If this is true, it will show
that Spain has more money at
her command than at first sup
posed. 1t seems reasonably
safe to say that no European
banker would help them fnan-
cially, and whatever aid is
forthcoming must be from the
citizens of the country itself.
