AWARDED $50.
Mrs. Battey Does Not Think the
Amount Sufficient.
Asks For a New Trial Of Her Case
Aga nst Elmer A. Ayleswortn.

The damages awarded her by jnry
here so grossly INADEQUATE that Mrs.
Sarah Battey today asked the Appellat,
Conrt to grant her a new trial In her suit
againt Elmer A. Aylesworth. The plain
tiff was riding along the road between

to her carriage and horse was SO badIy
scared that IL reare Lroke the wh,f
h tree The jury nd the defeDGant
guilty of negligence bus only gave MIS-.
Dattey 500 damages.
Col. 4. j. Ain.es said that Mrs. Battey
was permanently injured as was shown
by the testimony ana required the daily
attendance Of a ply sioian for nine weeks,
and was still under the care OF pbysi-
cian. The ontlay proved by Mrs. Battey,
was greatly in excess of the verd.St, Z Oh.
Aimes said, and argued that Mrs Battey
was entitled TO a much larger verdict.
5. w. X. Ailer, counsie for the defend
ant. said tho COLLISION was merely the re-
suit of an accident, and that while the
plaintiff claimed she was thrown Cus CT
the carriage, the testimony OF the defeud-
ants witnesses was that Mrs. Batteys'
head was on the ground bet her feet were
In the carriage.
Judge IillinRhast suggested that a
clean thorwn out might be less unpleas-
ant than this.
Mr.. A lien said that thers was consider
able conflict of testimony In the case and
that the accident was due To carelt ssness
on the part of Mrs Battey and that the
only evidence as TO any expenditure on
the part OF Mrs. Battey as a result OF the
accident. except that the plaintiff men
toned one sum Of $40. The jury had
heard the testimony IN the case and IL
was peculiarly It's province to assess the
damages Mrs. Battey was entitled to
have.
The court held the case for Wis ment.

officials in securing transports for the
Philippines expedition, the only addi-
ton obtained being the Ohio, good
sized vessel, which will rapidly be
transformed SO as to make her available
for carrying a large number of men
and animals. Assistant Secretary
Meiklejohn is still negotiating with the
agents of the Northern Pacific Steam
ship company for the chartering of the
six vessels Of that line
There are now three vessels on the
Pacific coast chartered by the govern
ment available for the second expedi-
ton to the Philippines. Such of them
as are not already there will be ordered
to San Francisco promptly to be put in
shape for the work for which they are
intended. 1t is hoped that this may be
done by some time next week, SO that
another detachment of $500 men will
be sent to reinforce Admiral Dewey.
The department has declined the gen
erous offer made by Hon. Arthur Sc
well of Maine to charter the ship Roam
oke, owned by him, to the government.
The main reason for this is that the
Roanoke is a sailing vessel and the off
Gals believe that for transport purposes
steamships are preferable.

LONDON, May 27.-The Madrid CORE

''The dominant note of public opin-
ion here is a desire to find some way to
honorable peace, as Spain has nothing
to gain by an indefinite prolongation of
hostilities.
s'All idea that France will intervene,
however, is now abandoned, and hopes
are fixed upon the possibility that Duke

occasion on which to take the initial

PHILADELPHIA, May 27.-It was de-
veloped here that the Universal Peace
union, through it's president, Alfred H.
Love OF this city, prepared and mailed
to the queen regent of Spain and Pre-
mier Sagasta an appeal asking that gov
eminent to acknowledge the independ-
ence of Cuba in the interests of peace
The appeal was first sent on April 81 ,
four days before this country declared
that a state of war existed between
Spain and the United States. 1t was
held up, however, in New York, and
after two weeks had expired was again
in President Loves hands with the seal
unbroken and stamped across it with a
government stamp notice that no mail
is permitted to go to Spain.
Ex-Governor Hoyt of Wyoming then
took the communication to Washing
ton and laid it before the state depart
ment in the hope that it might be per-
mitted to go and at the same time to as
sure the government of it's contents. It
was not allowed to go through the
mails, however, but it was suggested to
Ex-Governor Hoyt that it might be sent
to one of the European bureaus of the
union. AS result it was sent to Berne,
Switzerland Tor transmission to Spain,
and is now enroute.
President Love said that on April
the union cabled to the queen request
ing her to grant an unconditional
armistice, and also telegraphed to Car
dinal Gibbons to have the pope use his
endeavors to bring about the result
