BOYLE TO PROCEED
Against the County Attorney of Usage
County for Getting Himself
Into Trouble.

Attorney General Boyle today made
a peremptory demand for the resigna-
ton of George NJ. Wolf, county attor-
ney of Usage county. Mr.. Boyle gives
County Attorney Wolf until next We'd
nesday to have his resignation on file
or proceedings will be commenced in
the supreme court to GUST him.
According to Attorney General Boyle
County Attorney Wolf has been col
lecting bills for whisky houses as a side
issue and using his Office to help en-
force the collection of the bills.
When business was dull Wolf would
demand money from the jointists for
protection, at least that is what
Quenemo man says and he furnished a
letter to AIR. Boyle to prove his state
ments.
Though the letter that Mr.. Boyle
wrote today demanded Mr. VOLTS res
ignation says nothing about the rea-
sons Mr.. Boyle talked freely about
them and exhibited a package of letters
In support of his statements. The let
terS are from Usage county, some of
them being written by Wolf and they
show conclusively, says Mr.. Boyle, that
he has been using his office to collect
money.
Mr.. Boyle says that Wolf was given
collection from a Kansas City whisky
firm on o. A. Arnold of QuenemO. Wolf
wrote to Arnold and informed him that
he knew what business he was engaged
in and advising him to pay the bill at
once. In March he again wrote to Ar
mold and told him that he would like to
have him pay the bill at once and that
he might add $40 more and he would not
again modest him during the year.
All the correspondence has been
placed before Mr.. Boyle and he says
that he considers the case of sufficient
Importance to demand Mr.. VOLTS res
ignation.
County Attorney Wolf is serving his
second term as county attorney. He
had never practiced law when he was
elected and was a school teacher. He
ds a PopuIist.
Attorney General Boyle hints that
unless VOLTS resignation is fOrthcOm-
ing that criminal prosecution against
him may be instituted
Mr.. Boyle refuses to give out any of
the letters for publication but he read
them and gave permission to use the
facts expressed. He says that he has
no proof that Wolf made any attempts
to extOrt money except in this one case
but he thinks that the sooner the coun-
ty dispenses with his services the bet
ter. Mr.. Boyle says that he might have
commenced proceedings to Gust Wolf
at once but at best his case could not
be disposed of before October or No
vember and he thinks that it is better
to secure his resignat ton now, if pos
sible.

CAPTURE OF NIPE
Is Regarded as of Much Importance
at Washington.

Washington, July 2S-The brief report
from Admiral Sampson, declaring the
success of the expedition to Nipe IS
really more important than appears on
the surface. The bay of Nipe lies on the
north coast of Cuba, almost directly
across the island from Santiago 1t IS
purposed to establish a base there
which will save at least two days time
in getting supplies into Cuba as COM
pared with the Santiago route. It will
also form a good point of operation
against Holguin, not far distant ana IL
it should develop unfortunately that a
restraining hand must be laid upon the
Cubans themselves, Nipe, in connection
with Santiago, would be an ettectlVe
means of doing this.
The war department has not been IN
formed that General Skaters Cuban
allies have quit the American lines Tor
the reasons sent out in the printed let
ter by General Garcia, but it is scarcely
doubted that such is the case, for the
friction has been growing more pro.
nounced every day since the fall OF
Santiago, and it is feared that sever
ance of relations can not be longer
avoided That the Cuban junta is stun
hopeful of avoiding such measure IS
evidenced by the confidence shown by
Senior Ouesada ,one of the Cuban lega-
ton here in an amicable settlement

THE USUAL LAW SUIT
To Follow the Award of the Contract
for Returning Spanish Prisoners.

40 EO44oW IA0 award OF the contract
for Returning Spanish Prisoners.
New York, July 23.-The World says:
A lawyer has been retained by the
steamship companies who were unsuc-
cessful bidders for transporting the 22,-
600 captured Spanish prisoners from
Santiago to Spain and will begin action
today to have the contract made by
the government with the Compagnia-
Transatlantique EspanOla set aside.
The ground taken is that the successful
bidder is a licensed corporation of a ma
ton with whom we are at war and that
according to a measure passed by the
Spanish cortes one half of the receipts
of every corporation doing business IN
der the Spanish government must be
surrendered to the government to help
defray the expenses of the war. By
letting the contract to a Spanish cor
poration the United States government
indirectly pays into the Spanish treas
ury an amount equal to one half the
contracting stipulation. Also that the
government thereby releases from
blockade all of the enemy's vessels to
be used in the transportation from the
neutral ports where they are now in
shelter

of all his antagonists and exchanged
assurance of sincere personal esteem.
The signing was finished ct S:45
c, clock. AT that time the door of the
chamber opened and Senior Villaru.ia
appeared and exclaimed to group of
correspondents who were waiting in the
corridor:
"Cest fini."
The other members of the Spanish
commission followed Senior Villarutia
and passed silently through the vesti-
bule to their waiting carriages. The
American commission strolled out
chatting complncently and as they
nscended the steps the lights in the
chamber were darkened.
There was great contest among
the families and friends of the Ameri-
can commissioners for possession of
the pens with which the signatures to
the treaty We're written.
The treaty az signed consists of sew
enteen articles, it having been found
advisable to smb-divide two or three of
the articles in the draft agreed upon at
the last meeting.
The commissioners of the two ma
tions wrote their signatures on two
copies of the treaty, one copy being
for the archives. The document was
prepared by Secretary Moore in be-
half of the United States commission
and by Senor Nillarutia for Spain on
account of the continued illness of
Secretary Ojeda, of the Spanish com
mission.
Each copy contained the English
and Spanish texts of the treaty in par
allcl columns. The wording had been
previously by the commits
sions without Joint meeting. so there
was no controversy on this subject
