SPANISH FLEET HEADED WEST
Movement Regarded Almost as
Declaration Of war.

Washington, March A.-News reached
the navy department today that the Span
ish torpedo boat fotilla has left the Can
airy Islands Tor Porto Rico. This fact has
been communicated to the president. No
question has been asked Of Spain as yet
concerning this movement nor has it been
decided what action the navy or state de-
partments Will take, If any, under the
circumst stances.
Washington, March 24-The navy de-
partment developed important news fea-
lures today. They came with rapidity.
First came the definite information TO the
department from one OF our naval
attaches abroad that the Spanish torpedo
fiotilla had sailed from the Canaries for
Porto Rico. This move has been watched
by the navy department with intense in
terest and is regarded to some extent as
a hostile demonstration against this coun-
try. The fleet consists of six torpedo boats
and seven torpedo boat destroyers-four-
teen in all-constituting one of the most
formida BILE squadrons now afloat. As soon
as the telegram making the announce
ment was received il was taken TO the
White House and laid before the presi-
dent. a long conference Followed between
the president, Secretary Long and Mr..
Roosevelt as to the course this govern
ment should adopt So far as could be
learned no demand had been made upon
Spain as to her purposes in dispatching
the fotilla at this juncture, nor was it
known what action, If any, would be
taken at this time by the United States,
either in protesting to Spain or intercept
ing the feet. There was a very decided
current of sentiment among naval officers,
including some of the highest, in favor
of decisive and immediate action. They
said that from a naval strategic view it
would be most unfortunate at this time
10 have this great torpedo f1otilla brought
within easy reach of our squadron at
Key West. This it can be stated, was
not mere naval speculation, but had been
given official cognizance and had been
urged upon the president. 1t was due TO
the Dig importance of the movement that
instructions were issued some days ago
to keep the navy department immediate

pedo feet from the Canaries-

dent replied that he fully realized this
fact and that he did not intend 70 be
swerved one hairsbreadth in his purpose
on account of political considerations.
The conserya tive senator's say the pres
ident is to be given an opportunity to
carry out his plans and that II is now
certain that no hasty action without the
wish Of the president will be taken by
the senate. There has been considerable
work among senator's and the result of
general canvass leads the conservatives

moving with care and refraining from
forcing the president, to act in advance
Of his judgment is growing.
There viii be no hasty action" said
one Of the conservatives addressed. and
while the president viii be supported
when he makes request, attempts TO
force anything through the senate win
be resisted. The senate will not be
swept off its feet. but is ready TO act

provement to be made. They have decided in a general way, though, to expend from $5.CU0 to $7.000 in build ings and other necessary equipments. The work of building will be begun within two weeks and it is des igned to have the farm ready for occupancy within sixty days.
 As will be seen, the whole cost will be from s1O,0OO to $12,0O0. The cost of keeping the indigent of the county, in cluding those who are cared for at the county hospital and those out side, amounts to $11.0 annually uD- der the present system. The super visors have closely estimated that with the enlarged facilities of the poor farm and the opportunity afforded those to work who are able to work, the an- nual cost of maintaining the poor may be reduced by $6,O0O. If this es- innate is correct the saving in two years will pay for the poor farm and all the improvements to be made upon it.
 Then, beside, the county still owns the present hospital site and the val uable forty acre tract lying just east of town. Both of these properties will be advertised for sale at once.

CONVICT MAKES CHARGES.
Expose of Management of Northern
 Indiana Penitentiary.

Indianapolis, Feb. 17.-F. w. Ham ilton, an ex-convict, who was released Saturday from the northern peniten- tiary at Michigan City, claims to have with him complete data for sensa- tional expose of the management of the prison, including proof of crim- inal extravagances and narrowing and cruel treatment of prisoners.
 The information, when made public will, he says, startle the state. Ham ilton says that State Senator Culbert of Michigan City will arrive in the city tomorrow and will accompany him to the governors office, where the facts will be laid before the governor.
 Hamilton says that he will be able to produce corroborative testimony of guards and prisoners if necessary. He was sent up from Wayne county for two years for cutting a man in an af- fray when he was intoxicated. He is a printer and has worked on a num- Der of papers in northern Indiana.
 Among other sensational incidents Hamilton says that he knows of one prisoner who was knocked down with a heavy black cane two or three times. He was especially severe in his criti- cism of Deputy Warden Mclaughlin.

THE CURFEW ORDINANCE.
The Police Have Begun Working It
 Again.

The application of the curfew ordi- nance to every nightly need is being made again. There is no cur few bell rung now, but the ordinance does not provide that one shall be rung. The youth of Phoenix are merely admOnished to vacate the streets at or before o'clock and leave them vacated until the next morn ing.
 K Ever since the open season of the foot ball began last fall crowd of boys ranging in age from 12 to 20 have been gathering under an arc light in the rear of the county jail under a pretense of kicking the pigskin, which they accomplish with a great noise, pro1onging the orgies far into the night, disquieting the neighborhood for blocks around. Nobody made any fuss about it, for the crime of foot ball was prevalent, but since the close season has set in the boys have been congregating at the same place, play ing Spanish fly" ''Foot-anda-half" and other games involving the exercise of unusual lung power.
 Rev. Dr. Halsey, whose church lies almost within the vortex of this mael- strom of racket, animadverted in a S0u0Idl, Dut Itt1IuS way upOu luS Of II of boys being turned loose at night and hopefully reminded his hearers that there was a curfew ordinance in force, if not in effect
 The authorities determined to clear the streets and on Wednesday night Officer Molloy pulled five boys and broke up game of Spanish fly Their trial was set for yesterday af- ternoon. The boys were not of the bad class and were the sons of re- spectable parents. Recorder Jobs did not know what to do about it. The boys would evidently be convicted and if they were sent to jail along with the toughs and hobos, their course along the ruinOus route would be hastened. The recorder accordingly sent for Dr. Halsey, who had touched the button setting the machinery in motion, requesting him to be present at the trial. The doctor was on hand and at o'clock four of the boys came 7 in. They all claimed to be more than seventeen years, and so were beyond the provisions of the curfew ordi- nance.
 But there Is another way that will surely catch nine boys out of ten un- der the age of twenty who are out late at night. Charge him with peace disturbance. The boy himself is the incarnation of disturbance of the peace. His very presence is a men, ace to quietude. The boys saw they had been cinchSd, pleaded guilty and received a le1fdre with a promise of something 4bre the next time. Two Of them n4de an attempt to convict tbe arSfeting officer of favoritism.

THIS SCHEME IS A DAISY.
Montreal Will Rid Itself of Debt on
 French Lottery Plan.

Montreal, Quebec, Feb. 17.-Alder- man Rainville, chairman of the city's finance committee, will introduce a scheme for the funding of the city's debt. which proposes to issue bonds on the French lottery plan. Certain numbers will draw prizes. All the bonds will bear per cent interest. In the alderman's own words, the citi- zens will get an opportunity of se- curing a safe investment bearing 3 per cent and at the same time run a chance of obtaining a fortune, while the city will gain the advantage of having it's civic debt in the hands of it's own citizens and effect an annual saving of $200,000.
 The plan is bound to create antag- onism among certain sections of the population who have for so many years waged an uncompromising warfare upon the lotteries now operating in Montreal.

WOULD BE A MAN AGAIN.
How Thomas Taxed the Capacity of a
 Big Distillery.

Among the police court victims yes terday was a young man of clerical ap- pearance charged with vagrancy. In this narrative he will be called Thomas, for that isn't his name and he says that he came west to brace up and be man again. Beside, he is re- specially connected. A sister is the secretary of a state Epworth league. He brought letter of introduction to a we'll known Phoenix business man, and his story told at the morning ses- sion of police court was corrobOrated in part by a prominent eastern whole sale liquor dealer who is spending the winter in this city.
 The following facts are gathered from Thomas story of himself: For many years he was employed at well known distillery where he got into the habit of drinking whisky. There was so much of it around that it was really more accessible than water and besides, Thomas, who is man of great loyalty, wanted to prove to the world that the product of that distil- ] lery was good enough TOT him. But 1 he gradually carried his loyalty to eX- | cess and in the course of time it came to pass that the distillery was not able l to fill it's orders and make enough
 whisky to satisfy Thomas crescent
 appetite. At meeting of the board of directors one day the matter of in- creasing the capacity of the plant was discussed, but unfavorable action was taken. The question of cutting of part of the trade was also taken up and turned down. There was, there | fore, nothing else to be done than to let Thomas go.
 He stayed around in that community awhile and raised the price of whisky in the retail places by his excessive l patronage. Then he determined to come west and begin life anew. He drank nothing intoxicating en route until he reached Flagstaff, when i'm pelled less by his appetite than defer ence to the customs of the country, he
 resumed his consumption of strong
 drink and kept on consuming it
 whenever he could get it until he came to Phoenix. He was out of money and had nothing but thirst which weighed him down more than jag would have
 done. A man with a thirst and no
 means of satisfying it gets to asso-
 ciating with hobos and is in direct line of promotion to the police court. i Thomas will be given an oppoI tunity
 to make man of himself again and
 may receive some assistance and en- cOuragement in the work of self re- generation
