INDEPENDENT JURY.
Verdict Directly Opposite to the
Courts Instructions.

OMAHA, Neb., Feb 27-The jury in the
case OF the State against the bondsmen of
ex-State Treasurer BARLEY returned a ver-
dict for the defense this evening. The
amount sued for was $555, ,OO0 The case was
on trial nineteen days, and was given to the
jury on Friday evening. The courts in
structions were in effect that a verdict for
the full amount should be returned in favor
of the State. There was much surprise
when the verdict was read, even the court
expressing astonishment. Tie state will
move to have the verdict set aside.
j. S. BARLEY left the office of state treas
urer in January, 1897, after serving two
terms, with d shortage OF over $555, 900. He
was arrested and charged with the embez-
element of a portion of this amount, was
convicted and sentenced to twenty years Ill
the penitentiary. Shortly after a suit to
recover the amount of the shortage was
instituted against his bondsmen. The main
defense made was that Governor Holcomb
had failed to have a proper accounting with
BARLEY at the end Of the latter's first term
in January, 1895, in that he accepted certifi-
Gates of deposit in place of cash for the
moneys that BARLEY should have had on
hand The bondsmen contend that these
certificates were in reality worthless, and
that fully $4,000 Of the shortage existing
at the end of the second term existed at the
end of the first term. They being only the
second term bondsmen. sought to be re-
leased from liability to that amount Gov.
Holcomb obtained some unpleasant noto-
riety as a consequence of this defense. The
bondsmen also attacked the validity of the
bond they had signed on the grounds that
Governor Holcomb had not complied with
the law.
The court, however, instructed the jury
that the bond was in every way valid, and
that they should consider the certificates Of
deposit BARLEY turned over to himself at
the beginning of his second term in the
same light as cash, apparently leaving
nothing for the jury to do except to deter
mine the amount Of the shortage. The case
was tried last fall, but was dismissed with
out prejudice by the attorney general on
account of some defects in the prosecution.

The divers did not work to-day. Many
Americans attended church this morning,
and more We're present at a bull fight this
afternoon. Lieut.. Commander West, Rear
Admiral Sicards chief of staff, who came
on the Mascotte yesterday. returned on the
same vessel to Key West. The
story that he brought important dispatches
in cipher to Consul General Lee is untrue.
1t is denied by General Lee himself. Lieut..
Commander West it is believed, simply
brought dispatches for the court of inquiry,
authorizing it to go to Key West
Senator Proctor has been exploring the
city to-day. He took breakfast with Miss
Clara Barton at her suburban residence,
and, with other Americans, witnessed the
usual noon distribution of relief to the re-
concentrates. No arrangements have been
made for calls by Senator Proctor upon
General Blanco and the other Spanish Off
cials, but it is expected that he will call in
formally on several during the week. Con-
sui General Lee will accompany him. The
report that Captain Sigsbee and the officers
of the Maine will be examined in the Ad-
miralty court this week is untrue, as they
have not been notified, but the United
States officials believe that Spain has a
moral right to make such an examination.
American divers, under Captain Sigsbee's
direction, will be at work on the wreck at
the same time as the Spanish divers, and
will afford them such help as is consistent
in viewing the condition Of the wreckage
under water.

Rush Orders for Two Cruisers, a Mon
ffOr and n Ram.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 27.--League ISL
and navy yard literally swarmed with visi-
tors to-day in consequence of the report
from Washington that the cruisers Column
bia and Minneapolis, the double-turreted
monitor Miantonomah and the ram Katah-
din had been ordered to go into commission
as soon as possible. Both cruisers have
skeleton crews aboard, while the monitor
has been lying at her dock for several
years, and the Katahdin since last winter.
None of the naval officials at the yard
would say anything relating to the future
movements of the vessels, but from work
men 1t was learned that the commission
orders had been issued. This was borne
out by the fact that all day large force
of men in the construction and repair de-
partments were actively at work on the
Miantonomah and the Katahdin. Visitors
were kept off these boats and only those
having friends among the officers and crews
of the cruisers were allowed on board
The repairs to the monitor are all of a
minor nature and will be completed by
Tuesday. over twenty men have already
been detailed for her, and 1t is said her
full complement of $50 men will be made
up rapidly as possible. A large force of
men were busy on the Katahdin improving
with steam pipes. This work will only take
a few days. Sunday work at League ISL
and is very unusual, and to-day's activity
is taken to indicate that the Navy Depart
ment intends to get the vessels there ready
for sailing at a moments notice. Late
this afternoon steam was got up on board
the monitor for the purpose of testing her
boilers and machinery. In one of the lofts
nearly one hundred men We're at work on
small spars and boat fittings. Everything
is ship-shape on the Minneapolis and Co
lumbia, and, beyond filling up their com
plements of officers and men and taking
on coal and provisions, nothing remains
to be done. This viii consume about five
days at the most, and then both vessels will
be ready for active service.
The work of enlisting men will continue
until orders to stop have been received from
Washington. Captain Casey, the comman-
dant, said he did not know for which vessel
the men now being enlisted are wanted
The roster was simply being filled up and
he did not know how many men were want
ed or where the recruits viii be assigned.

WILL RETURN TO HAVANA.
Court of Inquiry Has Only Two Days
Work at Key West.


KEY WEST, Fla, Feb. 27.-The light
house tender Mangrove, bearing the MEM
bers Of the court of inquiry arrived from
Havana at o'clock this morning. The
court will resume its session in the United
States District Court room in the federal
building at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning,
and will probably return to Havana on
Wednesday, The most important witness to
be examined here is Lieutenant Blandin
the officer of the deck when the explosion
on the Maine occurred. The testimony of
the other survivors will take only a short
time Captain Sampson, Captain Chadwick
and Lieutenant Commander Potter came
ashore and arranged preliminary details for
the sessions of the court.
Martin Redding, a diver, returned here to-
day. He was taken to Havana to work on
the wreck and on his arrival to-day caused
much comment it being said that he had
talked too much at Havana and had been
removed in consequence. On his arrival he
held forth at considerable length before a
street-corner audience, and but little Gre
dence could be given to his numerous state
ments.
Rear Admiral Sicard has had frequent
conferences with Captain Sampson and
other members of the court of inquiry at
the hotel. He said tonight: II think they
ought to get away on Wednesday. As yet
there is nothing that can be said about their
work"
In reply to a question as to the rumored
removal Of the war ships to Cuba, Admiral
Sicard said: 1.-THE fleet Is not moving, and
1 know nothing about it going to Cuba. Still.
you know, 1 have steam up and could go
anywhere if ordered"
He was asked if anything had happened
to justify the statement that the situation
was more serious to-day than it had been,
and he replied "They know at Washing
ton about that Just how strained our re-
lations are with Spain am unable to say.
The excitement yesterday after the arrival
Of the Cuban filibusters, headed by General
Nunez and Captain John O'Brien, complete
ly ecipsed all the dongs and sayings of the
court of inquiry officers. Their quick de-
parture prevented very much being learned
as to the expedition, but the Cubans here
are elated. An expedition has been prepar-
ing to get away from Key West for some
time. but it probably will suffer another de-
lay, as the plot has leaked out through two
Spanish spies.
The survey steamer Bache sailed this
afternoon for Havana to convey the re-
mainder Of the Names wounded to the Dry
Tortugas. The four-masted schooner Isaiah
Hart has arrived with coal for the war

All the Spanish newspapers agree that
mo further mention need be made of the
Dupuy de LONE affair, as it has now prac-
tically ceased to exist" The papers are
much more occupied with the demonstra-
ton at Barcelona in connection with the
torturing of prisoners at Montjuich, the
fight between an elephant and a bull and
the Dreyfus case than with politics
As Ell Pals publishes: To-day being fine
no politics were discussed. but every one
went out to amuse himself, beginning with
the head of the government. Nevertheless
blank day may often be the prelude to a
great DEAL
FL impartial does permit itself a few re-
marks on the supposed attitude of the
United States government in demanding
further satisfaction from Spain for the De
Lone letter." 1t does not know what view
the government will take of this demand,
but considers its acceptance of De Lome's
resignation a sufficient mark of its dis
approval of his action, and consequently
that no further explanations are required
in that matter"
El Liberal remarks: 1.-THE Spanish gov
ernment in consideration of the good
friendship in which 1t lives with that of
the United States, did what it ought to do
In accepting the resignation offered by
Senor De LONE. With that ends the Incl
dent, which can have no further results"
Several OF the Madrid papers reproduce
the opinion of the Italian newspaper La
Perseverance, that the United States
should be satisfied with the resignation of
Dupuy de Lone" and that nothing should
result from the unfortunate incident to
trouble the good relations between the two
countries"
The cardinal archbishop of valladoid has
published PASTORAL letter blaming Amer
lea Tor the prolongation of the Cuban war.
Ills Eminence says: 1.-THE hypocritical
friendship OF the United States fosters the
rebellion and wastes Spain's resources in
order the better to attack her when weak
ened." He exhorts all true Spaniards to
unite in defending the rights and honor
OF the nation" The letter has caused wide
spread comment.

TWO POLICEMEN SHOT.
Chicago Police Fired on by a Maniac
in His Room.

CHICAGO, Feb. H.-Officer Patrick Fen
ton was killed and Officer Daniel Carey was
fatally shot by Michael Clark, whom they
attempted to arrest tonight. Clark was
butcher, employed at the stock yards,
boarding at ALB Forty-second street. His
landlady noticed that he was acting strange
ly, and asked him to vacate, but he refused
and barricaded the doors OF his room. Po-
lice were called and forced an entrance. AS
Fenton stepped into the room he received a
bullet through the heart. Carey leaped on
the maniac and in the struggle received a
shot through the body Clark saw his vic
Tins fall and jumped through the second
story window. He ran to the parish church
and gave himself up to the priest, who
turned him over to the police.

trouble should be submitted to the powers
