Sued for nm old Crime.

RIVERTON, Ia, June 2S.-(Special.)- 1.-THE
strange case of Jacob McKissick of Reno,
New, adds fresh corroboration to the old
saying, murder will out" Forty years
ago McKissick resided in this (Fremont)
county, and one night a man named Forby
was shot while in bed with another man
named Allen. McKissick, who had had a
quarrel with Allen, was suspected of doing
the shooting, but convinced his accusers of
his innocence. About a year ago he was
visiting in Hamburg and vicsnity and it is
said that in talking over old times with
some acquaintance he told them that he
had done the shooting which he was once
charged with. Allen, the man he tried to
kill, has long been dead, but Forby, the
man who was shot, is still living at Chilli
Gothic, Mo-, and when he heard of McKis-
sick's story, he at once brought suit against
him for damages to the amount of $40, 900.
McKissick own the opera house block and
other valuable property in Hamburg and a
large farm near that town, and has nu-
merous relatives in this neighborhood.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, June 2S.-(Special. y
Tomorrow will mark the killing of the first
cattle in the new Cudahy Packing COM
pany's beef plant in Sioux City, and its i'm
mediate trade territory, and the citizens
intend to celebrate 1t in an appropriate and
fitting manner. For several months the
work of completing the large addition to
the Cudahy packing plant here has been
in progress. When the Cudahys decided
to put in such a large establishment in
Sioux City 1t was planned to expend about
$500, 600 in improvements, and the citizens
rejoiced. 1t sounded like old times to them.
and the good news was heralded far and
near. But the Cudahys spent fully $500, 600
on their Sioux City plant before they had
it finished. The seventeen new buildings
beef will be driven to slaughter at an early
hour tomorrow morning.
The new plant will have a capacity for
killing and packing 500 to 1000 head of
cattle daily in summer, and from 1000 to

pacity will be 500 to 1000 daily. The hog

BLUE GOES ASHORE AGAIN
Secures Some Valuable Information
Regarding tie Situation
in Santiago.

Copyright, 1898, by Associated Press)
J OFF SANTIAGO, June 27.-(Via Kings
, ton, Jamaica, June S.)-Lieutenant Victor
, Blue of the auxiliary gunboat Suwanee re-
turned to. the fleet today from another in
vostigation trip ashore. He reported that
Admiral Cervera's ships are all in the harhor.
With the exception of one torpedo boat
destroyer, they are at anchor and show no
signs of activity. Lieutenant Blue went
ashore on Saturday, to the west of MORO
castle, accompanied by some Cuban guides.
He advanced until about two miles north Of
Cabanas and almost up to the enemy's bat
teries. He travelled sixty miles and rejoined
the Suvanee this morning. At one time the
lieutenant was at a Cuban outpost, separated
only by 400 yards from a Spanish outpost.
"They popped away at each other all the
time said Lieutenant Blue, but | do not
think the Cubans hurt the Spaniards very
much and l know the Spaniards did not
hurt the Cubans." Lieutenant Blue was
able to accurately locate the position OF each
of Admiral Cervera's ships.
Rear Admiral Sampson warned his fleet
this morning to exercise great care In shoot
ing at the hills east OF MORO castle, point
ing out that the American army had adj
vanced and our own troops might be de-
! ployed on the hillside.
! 1t is hardly likely that any serious ac-
ton will be taken by the navy until
Wednesday,. BY that time the army is ex-
pected to be ready for another forward
movement.
| The dynamite gunboat Vesuvius fired three
shells last night. They fell in the vicinity
of MORO castle. and the eastern batteries. .
During the night there was a loud ex-
plosion on shore near Aguidores. 1t is be-
lieved to have been caused by the Spaniards
trying to blow up the railroad treStle near
that place. 1t Is now said that Jaragua may
be selected as the permanent coaling harbor
for the fleet.
Gustave Weineck, an ordinary seaman, be-
longing to the flagship New York, was
drowned yesterday. The New York was
collier Alexander, when Weineck jumped
from the collier In an attempt to get on
board his own ship. He fell between the
flagship and the collier and sank at once.
The body was recovered.
The Dolphin has gone to the Havana
blockade and the Helena and the Yankton
have gone to the southern blockade.
A bulletin issued to the feet by Rear Ad-
miral Sampson yesterday said:
From a report made by one of the wounded.
a nephew of Surgeon Berryhill of the
flagship New York, a considerable part of
the damage to our troops on Friday last
was done by seven milimGter machine guns
manned by seamen, so that there would
seem to be some probability in the report
J or the use ashore of the crews of Admiral
Cervera's squadron.

NEWS OF INTEREST FROM IOWA.

vociferous applause. Spencer Smith ex-
pressed the opinion that the republicans OF
Pottawattamie county who we're noted for
making history in the politics of the state
ought at the convention to declare In favor
OF a single gold standard, a suggestion which
was followed by the committee on resolu-
lions. He also expressed a sentiment that
met with much applause THAT wherever
the American flag is planted that should be
American soil"
On the report OF the committee on per-
manent organization George II. Scott was
selected as permanent chairman and w. F.
Chester of Avoca secretary. On taking the
chair Mr.. Scott made a ten-minute talk,
which was well received.
The committee on credentials in making
its report recommended that the representa-
ton of some of the districts be cut down
as caucuses had not been held in some OF
the townships. Lincoln, Macedonia and
Rockford townships were not represented in
the convention and the contested delegation
in Norwalk township was settled by allow
ing Delegate Hurd one vote and the other
four delegates half a vote apiece. The re-
port OF this brought on a heated
tilt between 7. r. Bardsley OF Walnut and
/. M. Treynor, the latter wishing to amend
the report by having all townships repre-
sented cast the full vote, whether caucuses
had been held or not. This precedent, he
claimed, had been established in all of the
state and county conventions that he had at
tended. Treynor's amendment on being put
to the vote was lost and the original report
of the committee carried amid considerable
excitement.
After the committee on delegates had pre-
sented its report, which was unanimously
adopted, Frank Everest of Council Bluffs
was elected chairman of the county central
committee to succeed A. S. Hazelton and the
convention came to an end.

The divorce suit Of Ella Wilson against
Amos ID. Wilson, which has been on trial in
the district court before Judge Smith, was
concluded yesterday afternoon and the court
at once handed down his decision. He
granted the divorce as prayed for on the
grounds that the assault complained of was
unwarranted, but took occasion to severely
~criticise the conduct of the plaintiff. Mrs.
Wilson asked for $4,000 alimony, but Judge
Smith allowed her but 500 and 500 attor-
ney fees, the costs being taxed to the hus-
band. The father was given the custody of
the eldest daughter and eldest and youngest
sons, while the wife was awarded the Gus
tody of the other two children. TIL husband
was ordered to pay $40 a month for the sup
port of the two children until further orders
and provision was made for both parents to
see the children at stated intervals.

effect that a part of Admiral Camara's feet

The correspondent adds; This fleet will

cessiOn to Importers.
WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The recently
enacted war tariff places a duty of 10 cents
a pound on teas. In many cities there are
now stored large quantities of free teas,
imported under the former tariff. In a
number of instances importers and ware
house men have desired to bond warehouses
for the storage of imported teas. without
being REQUIRED to remove the free article
now stored in such premises.
The regulations of the Treasury depart
ment forbid the use of bonded warehouses
for any other purpose than for imported
merchandise in hands. In view, however.
of the emergency, and the expense and an
noyance which would be caused by the re-
moval of free teas, the secretary of the
treasury has consented to the bonding OF
warehouses provided the free tea now stored
therein is kept entirely separate from all
other goods, and that they be removed
therefrom in six months, when the ware
houses are to be rebonded. The concession
applies only 70 teas.
