A TALE OF TROUSERS.
How Judge Kibbey Paid for Sarcastic
 Utterance.

Judge 'Kibbey yesterday paid $1.25 tailor bill which was also the price of a bit of sarcasm in which the judge had lately indulged. Some months ago young man whose name is Wake man, a stranger in town, visited the judge in his capacity of city attorney and asked a suppositious question. He wanted to know if it would be viO- lation of a city ordinance for one to maintain a barbed wire fence adjacent to the street provided he had smooth wires outside the barbed wires to ward pedestrians from harm. The city attorney could not remember, but would look it up. In a day or two Wakeman returned. Still the judg had not informed himself, but he asked Wakeman if he wanted to construct such fence as he had described. He did not. Then why had he wanted to know if such fence could be lawfully maintained Wakeman explained that short time before he and some friends were walking along such a fence one night and his trousers had been torn. He went to see various 5aiIOrs and found that there was no cloth in Phoenix which would even approximately match the texture of she rent garment, so that the injury was irreparable MT. Wakeman had xScertained that the property sur rounded by the fence belonged to B. }. Bennitt. He wanted MT. Bennitt ar rested under the ordinance. The city attorney declined to make any recom- E1endation, but told Wakeman to see Ile recorder. He saw that official and Many other persons within the next few days, after which he returned to Iie city attorney, who finally told him he would consent to the prosecu- Eion if Walleman would give bond for xhe costs in case the city should be de- 5eated
 "T didn't know there was any law for that kind of a procedure" said Wakeman.
 There isn't any," said the city at forney. Then he suggested to Wake man that he had better see MT. Ben nitt Perhaps he would make repara- tion for the ruined trousers. Wake man replied that that suggestion came aco late for MT. Bennitt had unfor- 0unately transferred the property to ". T. Smith. It might have been a move on his part to avoid IespOnsibil- fly for the damaged trousers, but any way the transfer appeared regular, the papers were without flaw, and had keen properly recorder.
 The city attorney told Wakeman yfiat no doubt MT. Bennitt's motives were all right. He reminded him that gfiis affair had been dragging along fer many weeks, during which much history had been made; the Maine Rad been blown up, the court of in auiry had reported and the world was nearer the day of judgment than r was when that fatal rent in the trousers had been made. It was not altogether unnatural that real estate s1ould change hands. He renewed his suggestion to Wakeman to see MT. Rernitt and if he appeared obstinate,

ARMER CAPTURED.
The Train RobDer and the Murdere Returned to Yuma Last Night.

Frank Armer, the train robber, and William Arnett, the murderer, who es- capped fom Yuma last Friday night have been captured. Governor Nc Cord received telegram from Super intendent Darlington yesterday informing him of the cap ture The governor replied as follows ''I am greatly pleased at the capture of Arnetta and Armer Take no chances with them in the future. You did splendidly in recapturing them"
 Superintendent Dorrington's tele- gram contained no particulars Of the capture, but merely stated that the prisoners would be returned to Yuma yesterday evening. From that cir constance it is inferred that they had been taken somewhere along a tele- graph line, otherwise no word would likely have reached Yuma in advance. It was expected that the fugitives or Armer at eny rate, would try to work his way east, and a prison guard was at once sent to Maricopa to remain there until the prisoners had been captured or the chase abandoned.

Government Should Provide for 1t
in Time of Peace.
WASHINGTON. June z. - Informa-
ton received here today indicated that
the French cable between Santiago de
Cuba and Hayti had not been working
since midnight of last night. If such
is the case, Gen. Blanco Is cut Off from
communication with his home govern
ment by that source. AT the same
time, it Is understood that one of the
English cables running South from
Cuba to Jamaica is still in working
order, although the officers experience
difficulty in obtaining information in
regard to the working of these cables.
The difficulty of cutting off the Span
iards from their own government has
demonstrated the necessity of the gov
ernment owning a cable vessel, and
Gen. Greedy, chief Of the signal corps
Of the army. in speaking Of the mat
ter today. said he hoped that here
after the United States would own
such a ship, whether the country was
at peace or war. One could easily be
purchased for 100000, he said, and, if
the signal service had had such a ship
at its command at the beginning Of the
war, Cuba would have been isolated
in a week, so far as the cable was con-
cerned. .5=.'.b

Colonial Troops Not Loyal to the
Mother Country.
LONDON, June IA dispatch to the
Times from Manila, referring to the
fighting of May 80 and June 1, SAYS
the Spanish loss in killed, wounded and
prisoners was heavy, but that the most
serious feature of all for Spain is the
detection of hundreds Of natives. The
dispatch says:
One native regiment deserted, after
killing it's officers and massacring a
company of Spanish infantry, and
rebels and ex-rebels on both sides have
been shot because they were suspected
OF treachery to their respective gen
erals. The Spaniards are endeavoring
by every means to win over the rebels,
who are attracted by promises of par
don and high offices. But Aguinaldo's
attraction Is stronger. He has COM
pletely surrounded Manila, by cutting
the railroads and holding the routes by
which food has previously reached the
city. If the city is not starved into
surrender, the rebels may carry it, hav-
ing now an increasing number of rifles
and field guns.
Aguinaldo's treatment Of the Spanish
prisoners is exemplary. Few excesses
are reported, except where priests were
mutilated before being killed.
Admiral Dewey is not assisting in
the rebels action, but it is probably
due to him that Aguinaldos forces
avoid excesses.
Foreigners, with the exception of the
French nuns, remain in Manila, but
are ready to board the refugee steam
ers as soon as the necessity arises.
Iloilo is quiet.

ceive shot. Not a man on the Bos-
ton received a scratch.
Paymaster Loud, who was on the
McCulloch during the battle. was a
witness of events on both sides. He
said:
For two hours the steady roar of
cannon was kept up. The roar was
something terrible. At one time
really thought we were beaten. This
was after the fire had been kept up
an hour. 1t looked like every gun on
the Spanish ships had turned loose on
US. All the ground and the shore line
was Veritable blaze. Tons upon tons
or shot fell over our ships. There was
steel enough to have sunk our entire
fleet.
Our salvation was In the bad mark
manship ma OF the spaniards. They han
died their pieces like boys. Nearly all
OF their shots went wide Of the mark.
Most were high. flying over the fleet
and falling into the bay beyond Some
OF the batteries, however were better
trained. Several guns maintained
>raking fire on the fleet. Nearly all of
our ships were struck by both large
and small shot, but no damage Of con-
sequence was done.
I'VE left Manila on the 9Th. At that
time Commodore Dewey was in possess
sion of the shore forts and arsenal
Considerable ammunition and some
fair guns were captured.
MANILA AT DEWEY'S MERCY.
Manila, on the opposite side of the
bay, had not been taken, and it was
not the intention Of Dewey to do so
at that time. OF course, the city and
its suburbs were completely at the
mercy of our guns, and we could have
laid 1t in ruins in a very Short time
But the force on the warships is too
small to land and take possession.
when the troops arrive from San
Francisco, Commodore Dewey will de-
mand the immediate surrender of the
city, and the troops stationed there.
If refusal is given, fire will at once
be opened from the warships, and fore
ible possession will be taken
''Ther will be no difficulty in holding
Manila and the Philippines. Complete
subjugation Of the Spanish forces in
the group will be accomplished with
out trouble, and with little damage
to Americans life. The insurgents are
very friendly. and at the time we left
