LOVE AND AvARIcE AND'A SENSATIONAL TRIAL


tempts to ALLEVIATE the Sulu Islands
from the rest of the Philippines. Ac-
cordingly, when the administration
decided to acquire the Philippine
Islands the American commissioners
were especially charged to define the
limits of the group 60 as to leave no
room for misconception on this point,
nor give up claims to the islands whose
inclusion in the group might be re-
garded as doubtful.
SPAIN OWNS THEN.
Spain's title to the Sulu Islands was
net established beyond question until
1877 when Germany and Great Britain
both acknowledged Spanish sovereignty
over them in return for certain conces-
sions as to to freedom of trade and fish-
cries SO far as these islands are con-
cerned.

last night from Manila on leave of alb
senee, reports among both volunteers
and regulars feeling strongly against
the retention OF. the Philippines. The

channel, four miles below the city. It
Is believed she can be pulled off tonight
at high tide.

THE LETTER WHEAT DEAL
The Plunger Not Out of His Troubles.
More Complications

CHICAGO, June 20.-More threatening
clouds are gathering for Letter. Since the
announcement of Letters withdrawal from
the deal the price of cash wheat has de-
clined 10 cents. This, 1t Is asserted in thu
Post today, means an additional 1,0OO,0 ,00O
within week which the elder Letter ap-
parently will have to pay. Another source
of evil to the Letter prospects Is the per-
sistent rumor from across the water that
foreigners are refusing the wheat Letter
sold. Various reasons are assigned for the
rejection, but in each case there appears
the possibility that Letter will find his wheat
coming back to him In great quantities. The
sale Of options this week, which was con-
trclled by Letter, is another item of loss
with a declining market.
On the other hand, outside holde RS of cash
wheat, including Peavey, came to the city
today and the statement has been circulated
that practically all the wheat In the visible
supply of the country will be involved In the
Armour-Leiter deal. Reconciliation is said
to have been effected between Letter and
Peavey, who was enormously regarded by
some as one Of the leaders of the movement
to break the market in the Northwest,
which precipitated the Letter failure.
On good authority it is said that the Pills
bury wheat and Peavey's at Duluth are en-
braced in the transfer from Letter to Ar
mour. There are 100000 bushels at Min
neapolis and 5000, 900 at Duluth. The addi-
tion made by putting Peavey into the Ar
mour Company is said to be in the neigh
borhood of 100000 bushels.

United States Consul Wildman has re-

with regard to the future of the Philip

declares that If he cannot be connected
with the United States he will insist upon

country than the United States wishes to
secure control Of the Philippines, that
country will have to fight for it. The in

BUILDING AND LOAN LAW
Important Decision by Supreme Court
Of Illinois ~.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 0-Justics
Phillips of the Illinois Supreme Court an-
nounced an opinion today of great interest
to building and loan associations. The opin-
ion is rendered on a bill by T. b. Rhodes
VS.. the Missouri Savings and Loan Com-
pany. Missouri corporation. The court
declares:
',The scope of the association is one which
is not authorized by the statutes Of this
State. Its source for deriving its funds for
loaning purposes is one which is not recog-
nized by our statutes. A true building and
loan association, such as our statutes pro-
vide for, has no authority to declare or pay
dividends on its stock. Instead of funds
being derived from small payments made
monthly by subscribers. it may instead de-
rive its entire fund by large subscriptions OF
thousands Of dollars made by money loan
ers and capitalists who thus, in the guis6
of subscribers to stock in so-called building
associations are enabled to realize 13 to u
per cent on money invested"
The decision virtually excludes paid up
and participating stock features oS
building associations in Illinois.

its stan to do the work.
The hospital of the Third Division, First
Army Corps, has some cases Of pneumonia
and typhoid fever. Major T. c. Clark chief
surgeon of the hospital, thinks that possibly
the rain may have had something to do
with producing the typhoid fever by wash
ing out the camps and carrying refuse to
the water supply.
Five cars of equipments arrived yesterday
and were handed out for distribution today.
These consisted of three cars Of gun car
rages, timbers and caissons for the artil-
lery and two cars of guns and miscellaneous

NEWS FROM SANTIAGO
A GORDON OF TROOPS DRAWN
AROUND THE CITY
The st. Louis Cuts the Kingston
Cable-The Vesuvius Discharges
Three More Shells

ON BOARD THE ASSOCIATED
PRESS BOAT DAUNTLESS, off Santiago
de Cuba, Sunday, June 10, 6p. M, via King
ston. Jamaica, June 20, 4:2O p. m.-(Copy-
righted, 1898, by the Associated Press
The United States troops under General
Shafter have not yet arrived. The delay
is inexplicable. According to the latest
information in possession of Admiral
Sampson, the transports should have
reached here this morning.
Valuable time and favorable weather
are lost by the delay.
Though 1t Is blistering hot, there has
been no rain since the marines landed. The
Cuban officials say, however, that in this
mountainous section of the southern coast
the heavy rain has practically ceased until
the end of July.
Gordon Around Santiago
The Cubans are extremely active, and a
Gordon has been drawn around Santiago
de Cuba. General Garcia, with 40OJ
troops. coming by forced marches from
Banes, is now heading for Santiago. His
troops are within forty miles of the city.
He left 5000 men at Holgun to prevent the
Spaniards there from effecting juncture
with General Torat at Santiago. The
Spanish troops at Guantanamo, under Gen.
eral Masso, are also cut off from General
Torat, and are badly pinched for food. They
wildly appealed for provisions and rein
forcements, but the only reply they got
was that both were impossible. General
Masso said his men were even then at half
rations, and the supply was only sufficient
to last during the present month.
Sampson and Garcia Meet
General Garcia and his personal staff
were picked up at General Rabi's camp
Is miles west of Santiago and brought to
the flagship this afternoon by the Vixen.
There the grizzled and wounded patriot
had a long consultation with Admiral
Sampson regarding the operations for the
investment of Santiago and the co-opera-
tion of the American and Cuban troops.
General Garcia is evry enthusiastic. He
says the Spaniards are starving, and can
not hold out long, and that the war should
end in q few months.
Two regiments of troops will be landed
at Guantanamo bay, which will be held
as a base until Santiago falls. There have
been no signs of Spanish troops in the
neighborhood of Camp McCalla for several
days. 1t is estimated that over three hun
dred have been killed or wounded since
the landing. Fifty-eight bodies were
found yesterday.
Cannot Dislodge Marines
The Spamards seem satisfied that they
cannot dislodge the Americans, and have
withdrawn. The upper bay is to be occu-
pied Immediately. Lieutenant Delehanty,
with an expedition, is nightly at work re-
moving mines from the river connecting
the upper and lower bays. When this is
clear the ships will move up to the chan
mel and take the town of Caimanera, whose
forts were demolished by the Texas last
Friday.
The auxiliary cruiser st. Louis cut the
Kingston cable last night within mile of
Ell Moro.
Last night the dynamite cruiser vesuvius
discharged three more shells. A terrific
uproar followed the second explosion, and
it is thought magazine was blown up.
