CONFESSES KILLING
But Claims It Was Done in Self
Defense

SAN FRANCISCO, May ia young
Portuguese dairyman, Manuel Garcia
Barbe, employed at Silva's ranch in San
Mateo county, was arrested today for muir
der. Early in April Mariana Canadas, an
Inyo county stockman, was murdered on
his sheep ranch near Olancha. Frank
Johnson, herder in his employ, wasac-
cused by the coroner's jury Of the crime.
Johnson disappeared. Sheriff Given of
Inyo and others today identified Barbe as
the man who went by the name of Johnson
while in Inyo county. Canadas was well
known throughout Inyo and Mono coun-
ties. johnson had been employed by Cana
das for q short time as a herder. Canadas'
body was found in an isolated part of the
sheep range near Olancha. Loosened
rocks, heavy footprints and five deep knife
wounds in the body told the tale of a fright
full duel to the DEATH From the evidence
at the inquest johnson was accused of the
murder and a search was made for him.
It was learned that he had sold band of
sheep to Naylor & Robinson of Independ-
ence for $104. These belonged to Canadas.
He was traced to Lone Pine and from there
to this city. Barba admitted his identity
tonight and made statement to the police
in which he confessed to the killing of Ca
nadas, but claimed to have acted in self
defense. He will be taken to Independence,
Inyo county, tomorrow for trial.

NEW YORK, May 15.-Among the Cuban
refugees on board the British steamship
strathdee, which has arrived from Sagua,
Cabo, was former surgeon in the Spanish
army, Of Cuban birth. The refugees left
Havana thirteen days ago. At that time
there were 10000 Spanish soldiers and 10000
volunteers in Havana. The Notifications
were being strengthened by additions of
stone, rock, etc., and three cannon have
been mounted. which, 1t is claimed, have a
range of twelve miles. Fortifications have
been raised to repel land as well as sea at
tacks. All the hospitals and the asylums
as well are crowded with Spanish sick.
The food and the medicines left by the
Americans for the reconcentrados have
been seized by the Spanish. The English
consul has the keys Of the storehouses. but
the soldiers broke the doors and seized
what they liked, generally respecting any
thing marked RED Cross" The Mont
serrat landed at Cienfuegos 1000 men, sew

ugees arrived here that they learned the
truth about Manila, as the Havana papers
have published the engagement as great

ALLIANCE TALK


MADRID, May Acknowledgment
1898, by the Associated Press) Spain is not
pleased with the utterances on the subject
of the possibilities of an alliance between
the United States and Great Britain. The
Spanish ambassador at London, Count
Rascon, telegraphed an extract of the re-
cent speech of Joseph Chamberlain, the
British secretary of state for the colonies,
at Birmingham on Friday evening last,
to Senior Gullon, the minister for foreign
affairs, who Immediately conferred on the
subject with the premier Senior Sagasta,
with the result that the latter requested
the minister for foreign affairs to obtain a
more detailed account of Mr.. Chamber
lains remarks. Consequently the foreign
minister cabled to Count Rascon for a
fuller report of the speech This, 1t is un-
derstood, has been received, and the Span
ish ministers were to discuss 1t at their
meeting today. Spain, 1t is said on good
authority, will draw the attention of the
powers to the transcendency Of the sug-
gested Anglo-American alliance with re-
spect to European interests.
The Spanish newspapers and politicians
of all classes discuss Mr. Chamberlain
speech most angrily. They consider it to
be the sequel to the marquis Of Salisbury
warning to Spain, whose dominions, II
seems, are to be absorbed by strong ene-
mics.
The Liberal, referring to the suggested
Anglo American alliance, says: IF any
alliance, defensive and offensive, Is signed
the same day the general confiagration will
burst out, which has been so long sup
pressed by the powers. An Anglo-Ameri-
can union will be faced by Russia and Ger
many, with their allies, and our western
and eastern possessions now on fire will
be an insignificant episode compared with
the coniagration in India, South Africa
and China. If the Anglo-American ALI
ance succeeds, Europe, which has hereto
fore been Indifferent to our case, will take
our part, not to favor us, but to defend her
own preponderance in the world"
The impartial contrasts the speech OF
Mr.. Chamberlain with the reported action
of the crew of the French cruiser Admiral
Rigault de Genouilly, in cheering for Spain
after the bombardment Of San Juan de
Porto Rico, which was witnessed by that
vessel, as being Indicative Of coming

A DREARY CAMP

Boys Bound for Manila Suffer the
Hardships of War
SAN FRANCISCO, May 15.-All nigh.
long the rain. which commenced falling
yesterday afternoon, continued to drench
the 5000 men camped at the Preside await
ing orders to proceed to Manila to relieve
Admiral Dewey. The Preside is sea Of
mud and the troops, most of whom are
lacking proper clothing to withstand the
cold and damp, are suffering greatly. but
the men do not complain. Although their
tents are surrounded by miniature lakes
and small rivulets of rainwater course
through the camps underneath cots and
shakedown beds, not whimper is heard.
Last night was the most disagreeable ex-
perienced by the men; fires would not burn
and the troops had to content themselves
with cold lunches and an occasional cup
of hot coffee which the good people of the
Red Cross society prepared for the SILVER
ing soldiers Although blankets in plenty
had been distributed during the day, little
sleep was obtainable owing to the incon-
venience with which the men had to con-
tend. The sentries suffered most Of all.
All day yesterday and last night they
tramped steadily up and down their beats,
wet to the skin. Most of them lacked over
coats but one by one they were supplied
with this comfort by their more fortunate
comrades who could get under the shelter
of tents.
1t is expected that by tonight the men
will be made more comfortable. There has
| been so much to do and so little time in
which to do it that it has been impossible
for the officers to look after every detail,
and they were greatly handicapped owing
to their inability to secure the articles
necessary for the comfort of the men, the
stock Of local merchants being depleted
early in the week.
The Charleston is still at Mare island.
and nothing definite can be learned re-
garding the time of her departure or
whether or not she will convoy one or
more of the troopships which have been
chartered to take supplies and men to Ad-
miral Dewey. 1t has been given out at the
Preside. unofacially, that the first ship
