Several papers in the April Century are

on account of the spproxiInate exhaustion

to three feet thick. where the work must

sPAIN's NEW FLEET.
Reserve Forces Will Be Ready This
Week.

New York, May 2O.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Cadiz says that the dock
yard authorities there have announced
that the reserve fleet, which would
consist of the Pelayo, the Carlos v
the Alfonso XIII. and the newly equip
ped cruisers, the Rapido and the Patria,
together with the torpedo destroyers
Audaz and Prosperina. will be ready
for the sea in the middle of the present
week
There has been considerable difficulty
in the matter of obtaining skilled en-
gineers. Spanish engineers being unable
to obtain the proper speed out OF the
torpedo boat catchers.
The GiraIda will probably accompany
the fleet as a dispatch boat.
1t is popularity Surmised that the
above mentioned feet goes to the Phil
ippines. but everything depends upon
what may happen in Havana Were the
first Spanish feet to take a good posi-
ton and should any misfortunes occur
to the United States warships, the men
of-war now at Cadiz would be directed
westward, not eastward.
The PeIayo will be the flagship and
several armed transports will accom-
pauy the fleet.

was not satisfactory or thorough. Chief
of Police Steele testified that he made
thorough examination of the c1osee in
which the revolver was found, on the
day of the murder, and that il was not
there. This testimony of Steele's might
have been considered conclusive IL he
had not spoiled it all afterWard. Sher-

closet, but he would not say that the
revolver might have been there and
have been overlooked.
There are two theories OF this case

the theory of suicide and the other is
burglary. Suicide would have been a
