Three Armies TO Fight.

dispatch early Il is morning
containing the information that
Gen. .Shafter would at once
proceed 20 take Santiago with
out waiting for reinforcements,
was confirmed as to it's accura-
cy today.
The department announced
that Gen. Shafter had sent u
cablegram declaring that he be-
lieved the expedition to be ju-
dicious and for that reason
would at once march OH San
tiago without waiting for the
additional troops soon to reach
there.
As a matter of fact there is
the strongest reason for believ-
ing that the department urged
Gen. Shafter to move promptly
because it is believed here that
grave danger menaces General
Shafter and his command.
The Spanish troops in San-
tiago province, according to
word received here are much
more numerous than was origi-
nally thought and Pando, it Is
believed, is much closer to Sau-
tiago with his army than the
Cuban agents and spies thought
possible.
The matter was regarded as
serious enough to justify an ex-
traordinary meeting of the war
board today at which were
present: Secretary Long, As
sistant Secretary Allen, Secre-
tary Alger and Gen. Miles.
Shafter has with him before
Santiago only $1,000 men and
5000 insurgents under Gen.
Garcia and Gen. Rabi. or %. 900
all told which must attack au
entrenched enemy.
Gen. Linares has in and
around Santiago l4,0O0 men
and reinforcements of 10000
from Holguin and 1900 from
ManZanilIo are on their way i.
a junction of these forces
means the formation of a Spar
ish army under Gen. Linares of
80. 900 men.
In this event, Skaters force
would be outnumbered by 13, ,00O
men. With these facts. it is
readily seen why Gen. Shafter
wishes to fall upon Santiago at
once. He desires to beat the
Spanish army in detail.
The war council To-Day decid-
ed to order the troops to move
from Chickamauga to the south
1t is understood that %, 900 men
will at once proceed to Tampa
The 5000 under Gen. Snyder at
Tampa were expected to leave
that port tonight. AS early as
next week, therefore, Gen.
Shafter should have with him
53. 900 men.
Gen. Miles said today that he
would not be surprised to learn
that within forty-eight hours
Santiago had fallen INTO the
hands of the Americans. He
based this representation upsu
advices received from Gen.
Shafter. His opinion, however,
is not shared by all officers,
many of whom are not able 10
take the same optimistic view
of the situation at Santiago.
Gen. Miles. who is in the best
position to judge. however. is
confident that there will be a
big fight by Friday, aud that
before the end of the week, the
Spanish forces in Santiago pro
vince will have surrendered
that the city will be occupied
by American troops and the in
surgent army.

At WAR AGAIN.
Nicaraguans, Instead of Costa Ricans.
Are Cunning for Each other.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Tt appears from
a more careful scrutiny of the news cabled
to the State Department from San Jose,
Costa Rica, last Saturday, that a revolu-
ton is in progress in Nicaragua and not
in Costa Rica, as was at first understood.
The advice came from United States Min
lister Merry, who is now at his post in
Costa Rica, where he has been received
without difficulty Notwithstanding his re-
lection by Nicaragua The navy is unusual
ly we'll prepared to protect American inter-
ests in Nicaragua, well as the canal
commission, having war ship on each
coast of the country or near by. The gum
boat Newport arrived at Port Limon yes
terday, where she can be readily communi-
Gated with by cable and the gunboat
Marietta touched at Liberdad, Salvador,
to-day on her way NORTH which will bring
her on the Nicaraguan coast in the course
of a day or two.
An official cablegram from San Jose,
dated and received to-day at the Costa
Rican legation says: News about revolu-
tion in Costa Rica is not correct. Peace is
perfect through the whole country"

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The Commercial
Advertiser says: Isaac Newman has been
appointed deputy collector of internal rev.
enue by Collector Ferdinand Eidman, of
the Third collection district. The appoint
ment was made for the purpose of testing
the federal civil-service regulations aS ap-
piled to positions OF this kind. 1t has been
held that no deputy in the internal revenue
and custom service could be appointed out
side of the eligible list of the civil service.
The places have been tied up on this ac-
count and the waiting ones have grown
impatient. It was decided 20 bring the mat
ter TO an issue. Therefore, the decision,
when rendered, will not only be Of interest
here, but to every postoffice, custom house
and internal revenue Office in the United
States, as the tie-up exists everywhere. 1t
at first attempted to prevail upon
President Mckinley to modify the civil
service regulations so as to put deputy coll
lectors and officers OF a similar rank in
the noncompetitive list. The PYesidentN did
not feel inclined to interfere, ana as there
seems TO be no hope of having the civil
service law changed by Congress at pres
ent, the politicians We're at their wits end
how to satisfy their impatient constituents.
They resorted TO the Newms-a case as an
expedient"

INCIDENTS OF THE TRIAL.
Nine. ZOIa i'm ~ Back COrner-Maitre
IabOrie,s Characterization.

LabOrie's characteristics.
PARIS, Feb THE first day of the Zola.
trial was a day of considerable emotion
but scanty progress. NJ. Scheurer- -Kestner
and NJ. Matthew Dreyfus were conspicuous
in court, and in the audience were several
notables and many ladies'. especially ac
tresses, most of whom were provided with
sandwiches and bottles of wine. Nine. Zola
was almost crushed out of sight in a back
corner. Mime. Severine, the authoress, and
M. Zolas devoted champion, was also
there When M. Zola entered everybody
was on tiptoes TO get glimpse of him. and
there was some disorder pending the ar
rival of the judge Scarcely was he seated
when bundle OF kilograms was handed to
NJ Zola all addressed "Zola, Court of AS
sizes, Paris" and other kilograms poured
in during the proceedings, altogether over
four hundred, from all parts of the world,
offering sympathy and congratulations.
One, from Belgium, bore the signatures of
a thousand legal and literary celebrities,
and signed by a group of Roman Catholic
priests, said, "Vive la justice! M. Zola,
who was quite calm, asked the barristers
what is the maximum penalty to which l
am liable?" On being told that it was six
months Imprisonment he rejoined, smiling.
''if truth could but merge from this trial L
would willingly take six months more"
Maitre Laborie, who bore the brunt OF
the days discussion, is a blonde, tall, slim,
typical Gaul, only thirty-eight years of age,
and one of the youngest and mcst brilliant
Partisan advocates. His eloquence ex-
torted applause. even from his adversares,
and produced a profound impression. The
proceedings at the present stage are
struggle between Maitre Laborie and Ad-
vocate General Van Cassel, the latter being
determined to restrict the scope of the trial
and the former to enlarge it. There is no
doubt that the visible efforts of the govern
ment to suppress inquiry by its refusal 20
allow General Billot minister of war; and
other important witnesses to testify, came
as great surprise to the audience. Maitre
Laborie created quite sensation by ex-
claiming ironically: What a passion for
light is there on the part of the prosecu-
ton"
There was some murmuring in court
when letters of excuse were read from
General Mercier and others, and there was
a fiutter of excitement when Maitre Labo-
rie insisted on the attendance of the ars-
tocratic Nine. Blanche De Comminges,
who pretends that illness prevents her from
testifying. Her name was mixed up in the

WILL SUE FOR $1,5OO,OOO.
Mrs. Watson, Daughter of Claus
SpreckeIs, VIII Worry Her Father.

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 1.-THE steamer
Rio Jun Maru arrived here this afternoon
from Yokohama via Honolulu. She left
Yokohama Jan. 8 with 500 Japanese, which
were landed at the quarantine station at
Honolulu without special incident. The Of
ficers of the steamer report stormy trip
from Honolulu. The steamer brought three
hundred tons of miscellaneous freight.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Watson arrived at
Honolulu on the 22d inst on their way
around the world. Mrs. Watson is the only
daughter Of Claus Spreckels, the sugar
king. Her marriage with Watson caused a
family estrangement, which has not been
healed to this day. Spreckels claimed that
his daughter was ungrateful, and in addi-
tion charged Watson with being fortune
hunter. The daughter denied both charges,
and as a proof of good decided back to her
father property worth a million and a half
dollars Mrs. Watson now claims that her
father has been more than unkind to her
since her marriage, and to even UP things
she has decided to invite the aid of the Ha-
waiian courts for the recovery of a million
and a half of dollars worth Of property
which she decided back to him at the time
of her marriage. 1t has long been known
in Honolulu that Mrs. Watson's deed to
Claus Spreckels was not signed by her hus-
band, and the impression has prevailed that
it was invalid on that account Her con-
tention will hold good in Hawaii, 1t is
claimed. Most of the property involved is
situated in Honolulu, and consists of busi-
ness blocks. The income is said to be 600
a month Mrs. Watson has, through her
lawyers at Honolulu, made a demand upon
all the tenants of the buildings to pay their
rents to her legal representatives, and this
will nrecinitafe litigation.

LAWLESSNESS NEAR GIN
ARKANSAS MOONsHINERS THREATEN
TO GO ON THE WARPATH.
Prosecuting Attorney at Searcy Asks
for Deputies to Protect Citizens
"A Recent Raid.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Feb. 7.--An upris-
ing of moonshiners is threatened in the
mountains east of Cleburne county and the
United States authorities have been ap-
pealed to for assistance to protect the law
abiding citizens of that locality. The trou-
BILE is caused by an element whose chief
occupation is the unlawful manufacture of
whisky, and was brought about by a raid
made last week by Deputy United States
marshals.
Internal Revenue Collector H. L. Remmel
this afternoon received the following tele-
gram from John r. Hicks, prosecuting at
torney at Searcy, Ark: Threatened up
rising of forty men near Hiram, Cleburne
county, caused by recent raids. Send force
tonight sufficient to protect citizens Very
important
Collector Remmel replied as follows:
Collector has no authority to employ any
one to assist you, but have wired the COM
missioner of internal revenue the situation.
If the sheriff cannot handle the case why
not call upon the Governor?"
Last week was an unlucky one for Ar
kansas moonshiners and the revenue Of
ficers did much good work. AS the result
of two well-planned and executed raids,
seven men were captured and five Illicit
distilleries destroyed. Forty miles north
west of Searcy in the mountains of C1eburne
county, is a postoffice known as Gin. Gin
is located in d territory infested by Illicit
distilers who have hitherto enjoyed i'm
munity from the interference of revenue Of
ficers. But Raiding Deputy J. T.. Burris
planned to throw a bombshell into their
camp. About ten days ago he disguised
himself as a rough mountaineer and went
into the vicinity to familiarize himself with
the situation. Returning to Little Rock,
Mr.. Burris perfected the details of the raid,
secured his posse and last week left for
the scene. The posse consisted of seven
or eight brave men. They reached the
neighborhood of Gin about o'clock Sat
urdaN morning and concealed themselves
near the stills. When the moonshiners ap-
peared the officers pounced upon and cap
tured them, giving them no opportunity to
escape. Enough beer was destroyed to
make 800 gallons of whisky. The prison.
ers were brought to Little Rock and land
ed in the State Penitentiary for safe keep
ing. 1t is now said the friends of the men
arrested will cause trouble. Very few peo-
pie live in the vicinity except those en-
gagged in moonshining, and if the trouble
is as serious as seems to be indicated by
the telegram from Prosecuting Attorney
Hicks it will take large force of men to
cope with the moonshineTs, as the country
is very mountainous and full of ravines.

ClVIL-SERVICE DECISION.
Federal Judge Holds There Is No
Vested Right ia Public Office.

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. Judge Andrew
kirkpatrick rendered a decision in the
United States Circuit Court to-day, dissolv-
ing the temporary injunction granted by
himself some time ago, restraining Internal
Revenue Collector Moffet, of Camden, from
removing three Democratic deputies. Judge
Kirkpatrick, in his decision, says there Is
nothing in the civil-service act prohibiting
the removal of men except prohibition of
a removal of men for refusing to contribute
for campaign purposes. He holds that
there are no vested rights in public Office,
and an equity court is without jurisdiction
to prevent the removal of persons in the
classified service.

HOW TWO INDIANS DIED.
ohiciaI Report the Burning of
SeminOIes by an Oklahoma Mob.

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE attorney
general sent to the Senate to-day a letter
written by Assistant United States Attorney
McMechan, giving the results of his investi-
cation into the recent burning Of two Semi
mole Indians III Oklahoma by a mob. He
says that the sentiment i'll the neighbor-
hood of the crime is all with the moo, and
he was informed that it would not be well
for him or any other person TO go into that
locality if IL was known that the object
was to locate the conspirators. Mr. Nc
Mechans letter tells in the mail an old
story. but he gives some new details Nc
Gisy was, he says, the first OF the Indians
to move u muscle after the torch was ap-
piled. and he did not move until the flesh
was beginning to drop from his limbs and
the flames were beginning to touch his ears
He then gave loud whoop and bent over
as far as the chain would allow him, and
sucking in the leaping flames, sank down
and expired without showing any more
signs Of pain. Not so with Palmer Sampson.
He did not move until after McGisy. had
inhaled the flames. Then he commenced
TO kick with both feet, throwing burning
pieces of wood twenty-five or fifty feet
away. IT was with difficulty that they sue
ceeded in getting him burned" Mr.. Me
Mechqn says that Baptist minister named
Hiram Holt prayed for the two Indians be-
fore their execution, and that as he knelt

uties to-day Francois Deloncle, Deputy for
Castellane, raised debate ON the govern
ment's foreign policy. NJ. Hanotaux, the
foreign minister. pointed out in the course
of his reply the exclusive advantages
France had recently secured in southern
China. In every case, he said, France had
obtained compensation for injury to her in
terests or subjects in China, together with
the punishment of the culprits, and these
indemnities during the last two years, had
reached total Of 100000 francs. French
diplomacy continued NJ Hanotaux. was

amounting to indifference, of the french
traders. France was convinced that any
oataclysm causing a disruption in China
would have the most terrible consequences,
and the governments aim was 10 work
hand in hand with the other powers for
the peaceful development of the country.
NJ. Meline, the premier, replying on the
subject Of tho Franco Russian alliance, said
1t was only because of the alliance that
Europe had escaped general conhagra-
ton and the European concert become
possible. To those who had expressed the
fear that France was Russia's dupe, he
would reply that when one has friends one
must not display constant distrust OF
them. The alliance was a work OF long du-
ration. Therefore" he concluded.
