a doubt when once this army is hurled

The big state, war and navy buildings

day, in marked contrast with the rush

No news of Importance was received
from any direction. The transports
with the troops for Santiago are ex-

time to-day, but nothing of special in
terest beyond the fact of their arrival
is anticipated for two or three days at
the earliest. The landing Of an army
on hostile coast, it is pointed out, is
not a matter of few hours even under
favorable circumstances, and therefore
the officials will not be surprised if a
forward land movement is not begun
before late in the present week.
Madrid, June 2o.-The statement that
President Mckinley has sent to Ad-
miral Cervera and Gen. Pando mes
sages saying that he would hold them
personally responsible for the lives of
Lieut.. Hobson and his men has pro-
duced a disagreeable impression here in
military circles, as showing that Presi-
dent Mckinley distrusts the military
honor of the Spaniards, who, on their
part, despise all threats. Such mes
sages, it is declared, render the future
exchange of the prisoners most I'M

WARNED.
The President Notifies Blanco That Hob
son Must BE Well Treated or Span
ish Officers Will Hang.

Washington, June 2O.-There is moth
ing in the law of nations to compel one
country at war to exchange prisoners
with another, but custom has made
this virtually the universal practice.
Spain, however, refuses positively to
give up Hobson and his men. The
president has been advised by the
British authorities, through whom ne
gotiations have been conducted. that
perhaps the Spaniards would listen to
a suggestion of ransom.
The president has sent a communica-
ton to Blanco to all intents and pur-
poses about like this: The United
States notifies the captain general of
Cuba that if. Hobson and his men are
not removed from the fortress which
guards the harbor of Santiago, and are
killed through the bombardment of
that fortress, the United States will
not treat Blanco or any spanish officer
of high rank who may be hereafter
captured, as prisoner of war, but
will regard him as common murder
er, and will treat him accordingly.
For every American who may be
killed as result of brutal and inhu.
man exposure to BON bardment the
United States will hang one Spanish
officer of high rank.
The notification is not in that exact
language, but its meaning is so plain
that Blanco will understand that the
eight men must be restored alive and
we'll.

DEATH IN "A DIVING BELL.
Two Men Lose Their Lives While
Searching for sunl<en Steamers !.
Cargo In Thunder Bay. 8

Alpena, Mich, June &C. Word was re-.
sceiyed here Of the drowning Of George
Campbell and Peter Olsen at Thunder
Bay on Friday last while engaged at
work in diving bell recovering the
cargoof the sunken steamer Pewabic,
which was lost about year ago in 116
feet of water. Campbell was the foun-
der Of the famous diving bell ard son
of Gardiner Campbell, founder of the
centennial bell.
III The bell was sent down ut 1O:3O
o'clock Saturday morning with the two
men inside. Campbell telephoned to the
steamer that they. were in the break in
the Pewabic's hull and asked for hooks.
The telephone worked well and the men
could be heard moving about the bell.
Suddenly all sounds ceased. Capt.
Phelps, of the Root, then rang the tele-
phone bell, which proved that the cir
cult was perfect, but no other sounds
could be secured. An effort was made
to hoist the bell, but it had fouled in the
wreck and could not be moved. In the
efforts to raise the bell the derrick was
disabled. A heavy sea came up, but
repairs were made, and at five o'clock in
the afternoon the bell was cleared from
the wreck and partially hoisted, when
the derrick again gave out. The anchor
was slipped and the bell towed into the
bay, getting into smooth water about II
o'clock. Once out of the sea the bell was
hoisted aboard the Root and was found
to be full of water. Both men were
drowned. Olson was sitting in his seat,
with his feet under levers, showing that
he had scarcely moved. The bell had
filled through one of the windows,
which was found broken. The auto

manship and He Sends a Bullet
Into Her Brain.

Portage, Wis.,, June 20. - Edward
Scherbarth, German farmer residing
just outside the city, shot and killed
his wife Sunday afternoon with So
caliber revolver. The ball entered the
left eye and penetrated the brain. The
man and woman were alone and but
little information can be obtained con-
corning the circumstances. Scher-
barth was under the influence of liquor
and said to persons who arrived on the
scene soon after the shooting that he
had been indulging in a little target
practice with his revolver when his
wife came out of the house and banded
him about his poor craftsmanship, say
ing, among other things, that he could
not hit the broad side of barn. 1t en-
ragged him and lie pointed the revolver
at the woman and fired.

VIGORO GUS A CTION.
Conference at Warrington Decides
That the War with spain
sE4{s Shall he Pushed. 8

Washing ton, June 2o.-The original
plans Of campaign for the conduct Of
the war against Spain will be adhered
to and will be pushed with vigor and
energy. The decision was reached at
a war council held at the white house
Saturday, at which were present Presi-
dent Mckinley, Secretaries Alger and
Long, Gen. Miles, Assistant Secretary
Meiklejohn, Admiral sicard and Capt.
Mahan. Of course there will be some
slight notifications made necessary by
the changes that have occurred since
the beginning of hostilities, but these
after all will not affect the general
plans of operations. Gen. Miles re-
turned from Florida with store of in
formation respecting the condition Of
the troops, difficulties to be expected
IN the progress Of the campaign, needs
in the matter of transportation and
terminal facilities that will be freely
availed of to correct the defects in the
present system that experience has de-
veloped.
The official declaration to the effect
that the campaign is to be pushed with
vigor does not necessarily mean an i'm
mediate attack upon Havana, although
such advice has been rendered. It does
mean that the very best efforts are to be
put forth to put the army in condition
where it can be used with overwhelm-
ing effect at any point or points at al
most moments notice. To this end
the troops now in camp are to be thor
oughly trained and hardened, and when
they leave the United States their
equipment will be the best a soldier can
have, fit for any season, wet or dry, cold
or hot. With such an army at COM

BAD FIRE OUT WEST.
Business Portion of Park City, Utah,
IL Destroyed by Flames-Loss
Close to $1,OOO,OOO.

Salt Lake City, Utah, June 2o.-A
special to the Tribune from Park CITY,
Utah, says: The business portion of
Park City, on Main street, excepting a
