The mail car was then entered, and the
mail pouch containing the through San

FLOOD IS FALLING.
Cheering News at Cincinnati From
the Up-River Points.

CINCINNATI, o., Jan. 24.-Today the
weather has been clear with the mer-
curry at 43. A stage OF fifty feet three
and a half inches was maintained from
7 o'clock this morning until o'clock
tonight, when the river began to rise
slowly AT o'clock it reached fifty
feet and five inches, and was still ris-
ing slowly. Perfectly trustworthy dis
patches, received late tonight, bring
cheering news. They show the river
falling from above Wheeling all the
way down to Portsmouth. From Ports
mouth to Cairo 1t is rising slowly. The
Great Kanawha poured out compare
lively little water. From the R'g Sandy
down to the mouth of the Ohio the
Southern affluents contributed to the
big flood. They are falling down to the
Kentucky river and including that river.
All the freshets from tributaries on the
north side of the river were less serious
than first reports represented. It Is not
probable that the stage here will much
exceed fifty-two feet. Moreover, If
there should be no rainfall in the mean
time, the high water will run
out before the food accommodating at
Pittsburg comes down.

terday when he asked the witness II he was

McheIYey had previously stated that the first
time he had ever met Wilson was at Austin,
the meeting in Faribault, and 1t now remains
to be seen If the state will follow up that line
In rebuttal. After the court had denied the
motion of the defense for the dismissal of
the case, Mckelvey was the principal witness
Of the day, despite the fact that the defend
ant was placed on the stand late in the after
noon and allowed to tell his own story.
Wilson makes a good witness SO far. He
was, to all appearances, very willing to tell
all about his doings on the Path of July last,
neys were always prompt and we'll turned

Early this morning Mr.. Purdy will begin
MS cross-examination of the defendant and
then 1t will be known how well he has told

whether or not he fired two or three shots

JUNTA JUBILANT.
Change in Policy as Viewed by the
Cubans.

WASHINGTON, Jan. "a. - Senior
Quesada, secretary of the Cuban jun
ia, and Senior Albertini. of the Cuban
staff in Washington, were about the
capitol during the day comforting with
members concerning the Cuban status.
Mr.. Quesada said: The sending of the
Maine to Cuba, whatever be the of
fetal version, Is, in our opinion, proof
that things are in such a condition in
the few Spanish strongholds that an
archy reigns, and that American citi-
Zens and property, unable to ind pro-
lection at the hands of the impOtent
Spanish government, have now the
protection of their own vessels 1t is
a declaration of the world that the
United States are not afraid of the
Spanish rabble which seems to control
the Spanish officials. The attitude of
the Spanish papers and officials has
been that the presence of an American
warship in Havana means interview
ton; undoubtedly they will now say
that. 1t is the most natural thing for
any nation to send it's vessels to the
ports of a friendly power and De LONE
will declare that his government is de-
lighted. But we shall soon hear from
Gen. Weyler's subordinates In Cuba
and from Spain; that is, if the cannons
of the Maine do not bring to the Span
ish minds the conviction that prudence
in this case is the better part of valor"
Senior Albertini says the sending Of
the Maine will justify itself by future
events. From his acquaintance with
Spanish methods, he says there is
greater reason for apprehension than
has yet been shown, and he declares
that, as soon as Spain finds that Cuba
is lost, a carnival Of slaughter will be
inaugurated with the guns Of Moro
castle and the Cabanas trained on the
city of Havana.

JURY SO DECLARES, AND ASKS THE
UTMOST CLEMENCY OF THE
COURT.
MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL.
1T WILL BE ARGUED WHEN SEN.
TENCE is PASSED SAT-
URDAY.
Arguments I'm Durham Case Contin-
ued-DeIay in Haskell
Case.

Andrew c. Hangar, repeatedly an
official Of the city of Minneapolis, and
for three terms elected city treasurer,
will receive the sentence of the court
Saturday next, upon a conviction by
jury Of his peers.
Saturday afternoon, the jury in the
case of the state against Haugan retired
to deliberate upon the case, and, with
the stern charge Of Judge Lancaster, it
was the general opinion that the jury
would not be out more than fifteen min
utes. AS time passed on, however, the
belief began to be prevalent that no
agreement would be reached, but some
of the older heads among the officials
were hopeful, for the reason that no
request had come from the jury to be
excused. This showed that there was
only a small minority holding out.
AT 10 o'clock yesterday morning the
jury was brought before Judge Ian
caster, and when Foreman Mason re-
piled, in answer to a question by Judge
Lancaster, that an agreement had been
reached, everybody in the room knew
what the verdict was before it was read.
Clerk Leary read this paper as follows:
We, the jury, find the de e1dant, Andrew
G. Haugan, guilty of the crime of misap-
preparation OF public funds by public
officer. as charged in the indictment.
George A. Mason,
Foreman.
We, the jury also find that the condi-
lions surrounding the defendant were
such as warrant US in recommending to
the court its utmost clemency.
George A. Mason,
Foreman.
Hangar was sitting behind his attor-
ney, Frank NJ. Nye, when the sentence
fell, but he did not move. There was
a quick rising of moisture to the eyes,
but that was all. His attorney at once
gave notice of motion for a new trial,
which will probably be made Saturday
when sentence is imposed, and bail will
be given to await the sentence and
arguments.
There is no special punishment given
for the crime charged. 1t is made a
felony, and it comes under the section
of the penal code, which makes the ex-
treme penalty imprisonment for seven
years, and fine of $1,000, either or both.
The court is allowed to use it's discre-
ton in the matter, however, and can
give thirty days in the county jail If
thought proper. With this wide lati-
tude, the sentence of Judge Lancaster
is waited for.
