The national assembly meets on the

THE new president is Al years Of
age. a statesman OF broad, comprehen-

years minister Of justice in the cabinet

MRS. FISH HELD
SHE WAS BOUND OVER ON THE
CHARGE OF NUMBERING
HER HUSBAND.
Fixed at Five Thousand Dollars,
Which She Probably Cannot Fur
nish-Mrs. Beaman Will Be Held
as an Accessory and the Main
Witness.

Idaho Springs. Colo, Sept. l3.-Justice
E. F. Hall today Lound Mrs. Jane Fish
over to the December term o. the dis
trict court on the charge of numbering
her husband.
The preliminary hearing occupied
all of two days.
Fred p. Dewey, cashier of the George
town bank. was the first witness called
today. His testimony was substantial
ly the same as in the former hearing.
as was that of Mrs. McGreedy and c. l..
Hoon.
Mrs. Alice Ingram testified that while
with Mrs Fish many threats had been
made because of the fondness of Fish
for other women.
James Milholland Of Kansas City
testified: Am a practitioner before the
bar at Kansas City, and have lived
there since 1887; met Mrs Fish in my
office in Kansas City while she was
there to consult with Ctptain Bridges,
who had desk with me. | had
W conversations with her in regard
to her husband. She had been in the
Office several times before that to con-
suit with Bridges. A draft OF the as
signment of annuity from husband to
wife had been made. and il was shown
to me. l asked if Mr.. Fish would sign,
and she said that he would. She came
to the office one day while Bridges was
out, and We had an extended talk in
reference to her husband. She said
that she was going to Georgetown and
that when she got Fish out there she
intended to fix him.
Il was amazed at the proposition,
and gave her close attention. She said:
He will goto sleep some night, and he
will not wake up, for | will send him
by the chloroform route, as know how
10 Use it without being found out. No
burial permits are required in Colo
RADIO, and they don't nose into your
business. l am going to have a friend
cut there, and what she AMI | can't do
won't be worth doing We were then
interrupted in the conversation, and
the day before they left her husband
came into the Office and / warned him
of his danger, also telling it to my
associate. and one other person."
Mrs. Augusta Winters was the wit
ness first present when the body was
found. Her evidence was with regard
to the movements of Mrs. Fish at the
time of the finding of the body. These.
she said, did not show any great grief,
but the reverse was the case.
Afterd a couple Of hours argument
the justice overruled the motion to
dismiss the case, and gave his decision
that the defendant, Jane Fish, be held
on the charge OF murder, in the sum Of
$4,000 bonds, to appear before the next
term OF the district court"
Mrs. Fish will probably remain in
the county Jail untfl December, as the
giving Of such a bond is not probable.
Mrs Beaman will also be held in Jail
as an accessory, and the main witness.

General Weyler then made a speech
of great violence, which provoked such
an outburst that the premier had to In
tervene, and called upon the general to
explain his policy.
General Weyler replied that he had
not threatened the government insti.

ed the army.
The minister Of war, General Correa,
said the government alone was respom-
sible.
The Duke Of Tetuan, the former min
lister for foreign affairs, defended Senior

deceased premier, declaring the latter
had foreseen the loss of Cuba, and had
planned with Senior Sagasta to sign
the surrender.
The loss of Cuba, Senior Gonzales
continued. was a just punishment for
those who failed to profit by the doc
trine that the colonists should not be
governed by oppression. The senate
then adjourned.
The republicans, Carlists and boiling
conservatives of the chamber of depu-
ties have issued a manifesto giving
their reasons for opposing the govern

hibited.
Senior Saeasta, in an interview to-
day, said no claims advanced by the
United States after the peace protocol
was signed, or the cortes bureau met
to elect peace commissioners, should be
entertained.
Advfces received from the Philip
pine islands say the insurgents would
release only a few of their prisoners.
Fol instance they will set free the
Spanish civil employees who are in their
hands.
Major General Merritt. it is said here,

Madrid, Sept 13.-The chamber OF
deputies today adopted the Hispano-
american protocol.
The chamber of deputies considered
the protocol in secret sessions, the re-
publicans, Carlists and dissenting con-
servativeas being absent. The preei-
dent, Marquis Vega D'Armipo, called
Senior uria to order for intimating that
General Primo de Rivera had enriched
himself at the expense of the treasury.
There was another uprOarbous session
of the senate today.
Count Almenas, referring to his
statement yesterday, giving the names
OF the generals he recently said ought
to have their sashes tied around their
neckts instead of around their waists,
naming Weyler, Blanco and Primo de
Rivera, after which he also included
Admiral Cervera in the category, said
General Linares was incompetent and
ought TO be arraigned.
Thereupon General Weyler and 9TH
ers loudly protested against these
charges, and General Weyler called ON
Court Almenas to name those generals
who were accused OF failing to do their
duty. and, he added. II the accusations
were true and the culprits could not
be legally punished the generals would
take the matter in their own hands and
infiict proper punishment

Cuba. He blamed General Weyler and
the late premier, Senior Canovas del
Castillo, asserting that the latter was

INSURGENTS MUST SUBMIT

Must Respect the Authority of the
United States.
New York, Sept. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
While confident, because of a cable
gram received at the navy department
today from Rear Admiral Dewey, thai
the situation in the Philippines is not
as critical as at first believed. the au-
thorities have SEM instructions 10 the
military and naval commanders Of such
a character that their execution will
mean the end of instructions in the
island.
Rear Admiral Dewey and Major Cen
eral Otis have been directed to compel
the recognition by the insurgents of the
paramount authority of the United
States in the city of Manila and the bay
There is to be no further latitude al
lowed the insurgents, and they will
be compelled to respect the lives and
property of all Spanish subjects and
persons Of other n~ationalities who have
been deprived of the protection of the
Spanish arms.
Rear Admiral Dewey and General
Otis are to use diplomatic means 50
long as they may find them successful
troll, but should the latter exceed the
bounds laid down, then the military
and naval forces of this government
will be brought to play to reduce the
natives to subsection.
Rear Admiral Dewey's cablegram
failed to make any mention Of the sit
uation. 1t concerned routine matters
connected with the squadron. such as
the dispatch to him of beef and other
supplies.
He would certainly have sem infor-
nation II a critical situation existed"
said an official to me today "To say
the situation was unchanged, or that
there were no developments, would
have involved considerable expense, as
the cable tolls from Manila to Wash
ington are high, and the admiral Is as
economical as possible. There is no
doubt that his failure to mention the
situation shows that he considers it
satisfactory, and al he is the judge,
the administration is willing to rely on
This silence"
am told authoritatively, today, that
Rear Admiral Dewey had not repeated
his request for a battleship and armor-
ed cruiser. The department has per-
fected arrangements. however, t send
him achievements as promptly as pos
sible. The b%attleships Oregon and
Iowa, accompanied by five GOLFERS, will
leave the first Of next week for Homo
lulu. Two golfers will leave the
squadron at Bahia, Brazil, and return
to Hampton Roads. A third collier will
coal the ships at Punta Arenas, and
then return, and the remaining two
golfers will proceed with the ships to
Honolulu. The Texas is to have her
nag quarters refitted. and will not start
for the East until the conclusion Of
peace. when she will go to Manila. via
Suez canal.
Washington authorities are inclined
to credit the report Of the destruction
of insurgent vessels by Spanish gun
boats. General Otis reported recently
that just before the signing Of the peace
protocol three small vessels, carrying
about 240 men. left Manila to spread the

FIe HrING THE RAILROADS CALPBRs

The LEADER is in receipt Of little
twelve-page pamphlet issued by the
Central Anti-Ticket-Scalping Commit
tee. From it some inforDation is OBJ
tanned OF the swindles perpetrated on
railroads by the scalpers who infect
aud carry on their business in the lar
ger cities. The object Of the pamphlet
it seems is to show that the scalpers
system is demoralizing and tends to
foster crime. There is no doubt that
this is. true. The natural disposition Of
the travelling public to get free rail-
road fare or as nearly on that basis as
possible, induces thousands of people
to patronize the scalpiug Offices and
take their chances of buying bogus
ticket who otherwise would net think
OF undertaking to get an undue Advsn
tage Of their fellormen in an ordinary
business transaction Yet the moral
quality of the action is precisely the
same.
