freight cars at Rosby's Rock, took place
yesterday morning before Squire
Lacy, of Benwood. Frank Lewis, who
was acquitted the day before of the
charge of attempting to rape a Boggs'
Run woman, was the prosecuting wit
ness. Lewis, on the stand, stated that
he had lied previously in accusing the
Hall brothers and Th0s. CrissWell with
being implicated in the robbery, and
said that Clement Burdge was the only
one of the four men VINO was guilty.
Other evidence which was brought cut
to show that Burdge had a part in the
transaction, induced the Justice TO hold
Burdge in the sum OF S5UC bond. Bond
was not furnished and Burdge was
taken to the Moundsvilie jail to await
the action of the grand jury. Lewis
was taken to Moundsville also to be
given a hearing before Squire Mann,
where the warrant against him was
first sworn out. Lewis mas gotten him
self into a serious Dredlcament. He
endeavored to save himself by giving
away those who had taken part in the
robbery with him and also tried to in
criminate innocent parties. He has
only succeeded in getting himself deep
er in trouble. In addition to the rob-
berry charge he is wanted at Cam
bridge, O., where he is suspected of
h.-vipg made an attempt at rape. The
Cambridge officials sent word that if
he could not be held at Benwood that
they would come after him.

Signs Of Preparations For Work In
Waters Beyond the Kingdom.
Washington. May 25.-The Spaniards
appear to be making ready for some-
thing more than a defensive campaign
at home. or at least they are trying to
create that impression by other means
than news bulletins that issue almost
daily from Madrid. The navy depart
ment now has. through reliable sources,
reports Of the greatest activity In the
Spanish yards and of the preparation
for sea and for long voyage OF two of
the torpedo boat destroyers. 1t is given
out that they are to join Cervera i'm
mediately when his squadron enters
Cadiz harbor. Possibly this statement
is made with a deliberate purpose Of mis-
leading American sailors into the belief
that Cervera has taken his way home
ward.
When Secretary Long started for home
after an exceptionally busy day. he
stated to a group Of newspaper men that
the department had received no infor-
nation of Importance. In response to an
inquiry as to where Cervera's feet was
located, Mr.. Long replied that his belief
cerning the reported capture of the Man
grove and the loss of other ships, the sec
retary dismissed these stories as purely
conjectural and not supported by facts
Word had come from the commander OF
the Mangrove since the time of the al
legged capture. showing that the ship
could not have been in the hands OF the
Spanish.
Mr.. Long paid a handsome tribute to
the war board. and stated that there was
no purpose whatever OF changing the
present system whereby this board CO.
operates with him in giving every pos
slble assistance and advice mainly in
the way Of information TO the admirals
in command. The Office of the war board.
the secretary pointed out was not to
fight battles; that was exclusively the
Province Of the squadron commanders.

way, and at no time had assumed execu-

shipowners, the department is Inclined
to regard IT as the least of two evils.
Cargoes are now waiting shipment at
New York, Philadelphia. Perth Amboy
and other points.
The consular reports yesterday gave
notice Of the declaration OF neutrality by
five countries, Russia, Greece. Venezuela,
the Netherlands and Canada. Par
ticular Importance attaches to the decla-
ration OF Venezuela because her ports
would be OF inestimable value to the
Spanish feet as places Of refuge and OF
possible coal supplies in event that the
declaration OF neutrality were withheld.
The notice Is dated Caracas, April 90.
The minister of foreign affairs took ac-
tion on the day upon which he was noti-
fed by Minister Loomis that the United
States had declared war. The notifica-
tion does not go into detail as to the
rules Of neutrality to be applied by Ven
ezuela, nor deal with the question as to
whether coal is to be contraband or not
but expresses venezuela's position In
one sentence: ''The republic will pre-
serve the strictest neutrality during the
contest"
The Dutch proclamation of neutrality,
in addition 10 the usual forms, cautions
all citizens of the Netherlands from be-
coming in any way involved in privg-
toering and in acceptance of any foreign
privateering ships papers under penalty
of prosecution. This provision may be
of value to the United States in the event
that Spain should resort TO issue Of
letters Of marque. The same citizens
are also enjoined to respect blockades.
Touching the coal supply, the Dutch reg
ulation 10 that this shall be supplemented
only to the extent necessary to permit
the ship to reach the nearest port of the
country to which ii belongs, or that OF
one OF it's allies in the war. Belligerents
are forbidden to bring prizes into the
Netherland waters.
The Russian declaration has an i'm
portant statement not usual in such
cases. as follows: THE disagreements
which have arisen between Spain and
the United States OF America have In
duced the imperial government to seek
in concert with other powers, some
means which might prevent an armed
conflict between these two countries.
Unhappily, our friendly measures are
without results. and a state of war now
exists between Spain and the United
States 1t Is with keen regret that the
imperial government witnesses an armed
conflict between two states TO which it
is united by old friendship and deep SYM
pathy. 1t is firmly resolved to observe
with regard to these two belligerents a
