SAW THE TROOP SHIPS.
The Belgic Passed Them $50
Miles from Honolulu.

San Francisco, June THE steamer
Belgic arrived from the Orient. via
Honolulu early this morning but was
sent into quarantine three cases of
smallpox having developed on board
since her departure from Hong Kong.
One case was landed at Nagasaki,
another at Kobe and the third at Hon
olulu. No new cases have developed
since the steamer left Honolulu and it
is thought that the disease has been
stamped out. The vessel and cargo will
be thoroughly fumigated today and it
is possible that the mails and passen-
gers may be landed tonight.
The Belgic reports sighting the first
fleet of transports, which left this city
May %, about $50 miles east of Homo
lulu.
At 10 O'Clock the Merchants ex-
change received word from the Belgic
that that vessel had sailed from Hon
oIuIu on June 1 and that the Charleston
had arrived at Honolulu two days be-
fore and was recoaled at the time of
the departure of the Belglc.
Preparations were being made at
Honolulu for the reception of the troops
which were expected to arrive there on
the day the Belgic left The town was
beautifully decorated and a public re-
ception was to be given the men on the
troop ships.

MANSPEAKER'S SOLD.
The Big Grocery Concern Pur-
chased by w. A. Robins of
Wyoming.

The w. w. Manspeaker grocery has
Wyoming, who will take possession this
week.
The new owner will file a charter to-
day with the secretary of state and the
w. w. Manspeake Mercantile COM
pany will become the Robins Mercan-
tile company. The capital stock of the
members of Mr.. Robins family and
Mr.. Manspeaker will be the directors.
Mr. Robins was one of the prominent
merchants of Cheyenne for several
years. He recently sold his business at
that place and moved to Topeka a
week ago with his family. His primary
object in coming to Topeka was to ed
ucate his two daughters. He was
grand commander of the knights

nent in the Episcopal church. The fam

Mr.. Manspeaker says that he has
not made up his mind what he will do.
He says that he needs a rest and will
take it before he decides upon any
thing. He was in the grocery business
in Topeka about ten years ago when he
moved to California. When he return
ed to Topeka five years ago he opened
one of the largest grocery stores in To-
peka and has since been conducting the
business.
Mr.. Robins, who will succeed Mr..
Manspeaker is a middle aged man with
a business way of doing things. He
will continue to occupy the rooms now
used by the store near the corner Of
| Seventh street and Kansas avenue.

ONLY MARINES,
No Regular Troops Have Been Sent
to Santiago.

Washington, June THE cabinet
meeting today was not particularly i'm
portant. AS is usual, the whole field
of military and naval operations was
gone over, but nothing was done look
ing to any change in policy, or plans.
1t is almost certain that no regular
troops have yet been dispatched to
Santiago but it is the intention to begin
a heavy movement either today or to-
morrow. 1t had been the intention of
the military authorities to have started
the first expedition a day or two ago,
but the non-arriva1 of the equipment
of the large siege guns, which it is
proposed to use in the reduction of San
tiago and the capture of Admiral Ger
vera's fleet necessitated a short post
pOnement.
The transports are in perfect readi-
ness for the embarkation of troops and
nothing now remains that should Occu-
py more than a. day or two. The army
of occupation will then be hurried for
ward and nothing will be permitted to
interfere with the prompt invasion of
Santiago and the capture, or destruc-
ton of the imprisoned fleet.
In commenting upon the reports of
a military engagement near Santiago,
it was said after the cabinet meeting
that if there had been any collision it
probably occurred between the Span
iards and force of our marines who
may have been attempting to land
arms for the use of the insurgents.

SPAIN IS AT SEA.
The Government Doesn't Know
Where 1t is Going.

London, June THE Madrid cores
pondent of the Morning Post has had
an interview with Senior Moret, form
erly secretary of the colonies, in the
course of which he said:
The government does not know
where it is going. Moreover, there is
not a person in Spain who can tell the
outcome of the present situation, which
is far more grave than is generally
confessed. The government has no
fixed plan. 1t allows matters to fol-
low their own course, needless of the
ultimate consequences.
The ship of state is drifting. Be
sides, it is useless to conceal the fact
that the cabinet is no longer solid, de-
spite its reconstruction. Today the
confusion is complete This is con-
cealed as well as possible but if the
truth of the situation ever becomes
known, the most serious complications
may result. The present ministers lack
energy. 1 won't say that they are
Voiceless,- because they talk too much;
but they never act. They are abso-
lutely impotent and are simply trust
ing to chance to get out of their trouble.
"A campaign in favor of peace has
begun in the press and is progressing
among the pOpulace. I am convinced
that if a plebiscite were held peace
would be unanimously voted even by
the soldiers. The queen regent has been
unjustly attacked by Senior CASTELAR,,
who is already posing as president of
the republic; but [ much doubt his
ability to stir up a movement against
the regency.
THE regency was menaced: but for
some time past a change has been TAX
ing place and the adVerSarieS of the
queen have discovered the injustice of
their attacks. It is difficulty to say
whether the regency will be overturned.
None can say what will happen in a
country without guidance, with a for
eign war on its hands and daily fearing
fresh internal complications. If the
overturning of the regency does happen
1t Will be an immense misfortune to
Spain Parliament is divided as we'll
as the ministry, who know not whether
to turn to the right or to the left. The
affairs of Spain are in complete disor-

New York: There was no important

transactions in bonds came largely from
the heavy trading in Union Pacific, Den

LOCO, 900 par value out of a total of nearly
100000. The rise in Northern Pacific is
no surprise to persons who have constant
ly watched the course of the company s
earnings, considering the preferred a

while in the case of the two first named

IN THE SIXTH DISTRICT.
The Populists May Nominate Webb
McNall for Congress.

Smith Center, June THE hotels are
already full with delegates and visitors
in attendance at the Sixth district Pop.
uliSt congressional convention, which
met in the opera house at 10 o'clock
this morning. Many delegates arrived
yesterday afternoon and last night,
while the morning trains brought in the
remainder together with vast con-
course of visitors from the adjoining
counties.
Among the prominent Populists and
Democrats present there are John S.
Parks, state printer; w. D. Street, eX-
speaker of the house, now member of
the state board of charities; DR.. John
B. Dykes, who was a prominent can
didate before the Colby convention two
years ago, and is a possible candidate
before this convention; Harry Gray, of
Osborne county, who his friends claim
is developing considerable strength for
the nomination, and Webb McNal,
state superintendent of insurance. Sew
eraI Democrats from Mitchell county,
among them D. A. Freeman, DR.. D. S.
o Brien, Fred Lietz, w. G. Cochran and
J. D. Van Hook, are here urging the
Populfsts to nominate Webb McNan
for Congress as the only one who can
save the district from Republican mis-
rule. He, alone, they say, can carry
the full Democratic strength in Mitchell
county. The Populist delegates, too,
from Mitchell county are very friendly
to McNaH for congress.
The Osborne county delegates believe
the Sixth district to victory. and are
working like beavers to get him nomi-
mated, while the friends of the present
congressman, N. B. Mccormick, are
sanguine of his denomination, on the
first ballot, with some votes to spare.
Few counties, however, send instructed
delegations, and at this time before the
convention has met, it is alomst impos
sible to correctly predict what a set of
delegates will do.
Webb McNall says he is not a candi-
date. He is only a spectator, but his
friends are working with zeal to make
the delegates believe he is the strong
est man. and can be elected.
Dr. John 3. Dyke is working for the
renomina ton of Congressman McCor-
mick, believing he is entitled to a sec
ond term. Two years later he expects
to enter the race himself
There are others who believe the con-
vention will get into a deadlock and
that McNall will eventually be the nom
inee w. D. Street, who was a formid-
able candidate for congress before the
Colby convention two years ago also
has some friends here who are asking
for his nomination, but he will not al
low his name to go before the conven-
ton.
The people of Smith Center are doing
everything they can to entertain their
guests, with bands. plenty to eat and
good accommodations, and everybody
will go away from here perfectly salts
fed with the kind hospitality they re-

MEASLES RAMPANT.
Twenty Cases in Col. Lindsey's
Regiment and Must Run
Its Course.

Camp Alger, Va, June 7.-Colonel
Lindsey of the Twenty second Kansas
has not yet selected his recruiting de-
tail, but probably will do so tomorrow.
1t will consist of an officer and four
non-commissioned or privateS from
each battalion.
The Twenty-second sent two more
men to the division hospital with
measles last night, and the surgeons
now admit that the disease must run
it's course and probably will attack all
the men in the regiment who have not
had it. There are over a score of cases
now in the hospital. All are doing we'll.
The Twenty-second is now completely
uniformed, except for a few misfit
blouses, and has been promised its
arms within a few days.

surgeon, department of the Colorado,

holding meetings in connection with the
convention of the main body.
DR.. Montgomery S. BrOckett of Buff
falo, N. Y, created a whirlwind of dis
cussion at the meeting of the American
association of medical colleges by a
paper on better pedagOgic methods IN
which he severely criticised present
methods of medical education.

a statement that perfect system OF
education should arouse the mental
energies of the student, whereas pres
ent methods tended to awaken the in
tellect of the tutor.
The following colleges were elected
to membership in the association:
Illinois Medical college, Chicago
Milwaukee Medical college, Mil
waukee.
Tufts college medical school. Uni
versity of Virginia.
Officers were elected as follows:
