BOLD STAND OF THE
 DUNHAM SUSPECT
Declares He Is Ready to Go to Cali fornia if His Expenses Are
 Paid.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 2s.-The iden- tity of the suspect held at the City Prison has not yet been determined, but to-day s developments indicate that he is. not James C. Durham, the Santa Clara County murderer. There are so many marks of resemblance, however, that the authorities decline to release Church, alias Wilson, in spite of his vigorous pro- test of innocence. Among the points of resemblance are age. height and color of hair but Church has tendency to bald ness. Durham has a square chin, while Church has a pointed one.
 'I will plead guilty to being Durham" |" said Church, If the police will pay 34o owe in Columbus and take me and my wife back to California. I know Dunham, and he killed some one, I believe.
 Church says he lived at Sacramento at the time of the murder and was familiar with the case, as was every Californian. In his opinion, Durham is dead. He claims to have sister, Mrs. Bateman. livng in Sacramento on K street.
 The theory of the police has been some what complicated by the statement of a man calling himself Thomas Ward. Ward called at the prison to see the suspect. He told Chief Kelly that he was once San Jose and knew Durham. He was permitted to see the prisoner. After a careful scrutiny. he informed the officials that while there GS,, were yi1na many points of

 SACRAMENTO, Dec. 8.-Diligent fn- quiry has failed to discover Mrs. Bate man or anybody who knows her.
 ST. LOUIS, Dec. 2S.-The police of St. Louis are searching for James c. Dun- ham, who is wanted in Santa Clara County, California, for murdering an en- tire family of six persons. There is a reward of S11. 900 for his arrest. A letter to Chief of Detectives Desmond from J. H. Lyndon the Sheriff of Santa Clara County, says that Durham has been traced to the Missouri River and is be- lieved to be in St Louis.
 SAN JOSE, Dec 2S.-Sheriff Lyndon to- day telegraphed to Sheriff George Smith of Des Moines County, Iowa, a warrant for the arrest of James C. Dunham the murderer of the McGlincy family. Sheriff Smith has a man in custody for a minor offense whom he insists is Dunham.

box containing an assignment of railroad bonds amounting to more than s64, 900. but from that time until this, it is al- legged by the attorneys, they have been unable to get any trace of the box.
 There was a rumor afloat in 1884 it is said, that some of the bonds passed through the hands of Grant & Ward and the matter was called to the attention of the Secretary of the Treasury. The heirs are said to have obtained information vaults of the treasury in Washington. Since that time the matter has been sev- eral times taken up by the authorities in Washington at the request of the law yers for the Durkee heirs and they have made strenuous efforts to establish a case whereby they might prove their rights to the big claim.

 The City Board of Education-that Is, Trustees Graham, Langford and Ken yon-are endeavoring to open the kim dergartens, which were recently or dered closed because of a shortage of funds. The opening of the kindergar- tens will plunge the school department into an indebtedness of from $10,000 to s12,00O at the end of the fiscal year. It Is proposed to draw on s16,000 that will be available from the State funds in June. Opposing this action are Trus- tees Wemple and O'Neil, but they are unable to hold the others in check.
 The streets of San Jose will be shrouded In darkness for the next six months and the belated business man will have to grope his way home. This condition Is brought about by the fail ure of the two electric lighting con- ranies to put in bids for lighting the streets for the rest of the year At present the Electric Improvement Com pany has the contract for street light ing at $1510 month. This expires at the end of the year. Owing to the shortage of funds the Council decided to dispense with half of the lights. cut ting dowE the cost of lighting the city to little over s700. No bids were re- ceived to-day from the lighting com panies, and Mayor Martin says tho streets will not be lighted next month. Unless new bids are called for darkness will prevail until after June 30. A wear ago the same difficulty overlook inc city and she streets were not lighted fo- several months.

NEW FILIPINO CABINET

MANILA, Dec. 2S.-The first repub- lican government has resigned over the question of American intervention in the government of the Philippines.
 The owners of property desire Amer ican cooperation. The present tenn porary Cabinet, which will exercise power pending the elections, Is very anti-American. It allows of no Amer ican cooperation whatever, and wants to declare a free republic and con-. sider the Americans as allies.
 It is willing to grant liberal commer- cial treaties with a monopoly of. mails and railways and pay the expenses of the American occupation of Manila.

 The Senator believes, however, that all these figures are too high and ex- presses the opinion that $100,000,0 900 will cover the entire cost of construction, passing the belief on what has been done in the case of the Manchester, the Kiel and the Chicago drainage canals, and on the reduced cost of material and labor to-day, as compared with what would have been necessary In the ear Her discussion of the building of the proposed WaterWay

PANAMA CANAL SEEKS
 AMERICAN SUPPORT

LONDON. Dec. 29.-The Paris core spondent of the Times says:
 At the annual meeting of the new Pan- anna Company to-day (Wednesday) a long report was read, in addition to show ing that no definite plan has as yet been adopted for the completion of the canal. The report refers to the American inter- est in the Nicaraguan Canal since the Hispano- American war, and indicates the means taken to acquaint the United States Government and the American peo- pie with the position and prospects of the Panama canal. On this point it says:
 We have offered to place at the dis posal of the United States every facility for examining our works and plans. which will readily convince them of the superi- ority, from all points of view. of the Pan anna route. They will find in the treat ies existing between them and Colombia, and in the facilities allowed by our stat utes,. al! the guarantees and advantages which their national interests can req sonably require. The Panama route is undisputably the maritime highway, which can be opened to navigation in the short est time and at the least expense"

 The Spaniards have chosen strong place for the concentration of their troops in the town of Zamboanga, which, as the reports here indicate, Is strongly fortified and possessed of considerable natural strength from a defensive point of view. It is not doubt ed that they will be able to maintain themselves for an indefinite period of time against the insurgents, presuming that they are not cut off from obtaining supplies from the sea. The town itself has a population of 21 ,000.

parently trying 10 break through the
