Prisoner.

Emporia, Aug. 3.-POliceman A. G.
Randolph was called to the rooms oc-
cupied by Lii Coates on Commercial
street yesterday afternoon to queH a
disturbance which had been raised by
Frank Newell.

ell and the latter resisted, whereupon a
fight ensued. The policeman was
scratched up considerably, but, after
calling Tom Fleming to his assistance,
he succeeded in placing Newell under
arrest. However, the latter fought all
the way to Jail and peeled a shin for
Sheriff O'Connor as he was being put
into the cell. Police Judge Smelser a
few hours afterwards released Newell
from custody, and Mr.. Randolph says
that he had no right whatever to do 50,
as Newell had not been arraigned in
court
Randolph has reported the affair to
the council committee on police regula-
tions, and he says that charges will be
preferred AGAINST Smelser.

Sheriff Simmons this morning tele-
phoned the sheriff of Sumner county to
hold him until he should arrive to bring
him to Wichita.
O'COnner was under bond here and in
Sumner county at the same time. Hen
ry Schnitzler was on his bond in both
counties, and when O'COnner skipped
out to Missouri, Schnitzler put up
game on the young man and brought
him back. He was tried and convicted
in Sumner county and now will have to
be tried here on the charge of selling
liquor in Cheney.
O'Conner is said to be the first liquor
man who ever jumped a bond in this
county. They have nearly all been able
to give a good bond when arrested and
they stand up to the rack to finish.
The liquor men in this county are said
to have denounced O'Conner for leaving
Schnitzler in the lurch.

ANNEXATION TALK.
Cuba May Want to Join, Then What
Gould We Doa

New York Aug. IA special to the
Times from Washington says:
1T is well understood at the department
of state that as soon as the preliminaries
are settled, Ambassador Cambons mission
for Spain will end, and the further nego-
tons that can follow an agreement to

with confidence that these expectations
will be realized, the administration is
turning its attention to shrinking the

lished at an early day, with the approval

THE administration does not see its
army. Should any arrangement be made
for the withdrawal of troops from the

A large army, it IS feared, will have to be
maintained in Cuba, until that stable gov
ernment' which the United States has
promised shall be provided in place of
the unstable government of Spain has
been set up and been recognized as so by
the whole world. The admins ira tfOn is
inclined to believe that with the Spanish
troops withdrawn from Cuba and an op-
pOrtunity afforded for the United States
to assist the people in providing a govern
ment for themselves, rapid progress will
be made toward real pacifcatiOn between
the CubanS and those Spaniards who are
not so attached to the mother country
that they will feel impelled to abandon
Cuba and return to the peninsula.
