newspaper containing the account of
the murder Finally one of them said:
Il know the fellow who has got John
Collins watch. He gave another fel-
low his diamond stud"
The detective communicated with
Sheriff Cook, and on this clue the Of
ficers began work anew, and by toI-
lowing up every available clue, We're
able to secure evidence both of a direct
and circumstantial character which
they say proves that the murder was
premeditated and that John Collins is
the guilty party.
Defectiye Harbaugh says of the cir
cunstances of the murder: Il believe
that John S. Collins talked before ne
died I think he saw who shot him,
and I think Mrs. Collins also saw the
n11rderer l am satisfied of this from
remarks she and John have dropped l
made very thorough Investigation OF
the house and 1 found out things Whlch
have not been made pubic, Wnlcn
prove more conclusively than ever that
the murderer did not leave the house
after doing the shooting Anothef
thing, John Collins was sleeping In the
front room up stairs. His own room
was back of the front and on the nortn
side From the front room he could
go down stairs and return without pas
sing his sisters door. He could not DO
this from his own room.
John Collins told Detective harbdugh
that if he didn't get to see Frances
BaDc0ck again life to him would not be
trip to the seashore this summer, and
Collins worried much at not being able
to accompany her. He told Harbaugn
that ne had asked her to marry him.
but she replied that she might meet
someone else whom she liked better
This frenzied Collins, and he declared,
it is said, that he would go to the sea
shore and see her. These stores whlch
he told her and which she has since
told the officers, he said he told her
ssillst to please her" He explained to
Harbaugh that girls liked to hear
about wild stories.
Defective Harbaugh says tnat ne rec
ognized the fact that in general no one
would believe the word of detective,
with Collins and obtaining from him
full statement on many important
points he suggested that he would like
to see the Sheriff. John Collins went
with him to Sheriff Cook and introduced
Harbaugh. The latter said today:
John said Cook was personal friend
of the family. When we met Cook I
said: Mr.. Cook. John has told me some
things about this case which thought
YOU ought to know, and 1 am sure ne
will be glad to tell you John looked
puzzled but Cook asked him to tell
Then questioned him, and he gave up
a whole lot of stuff and Cook took it
down in writing. Now, that stuff is
in good hands and they don't have to
take the word of a detective. No ef-
fort has been made at all to secure from
John a confession. We have not tried
to do anything of that kind. But I'll
tell you he is weakening. L don't think
he can stand it much longer AS a
Mason it is my duty to protect him, as
he is an orphan, so far as possible, but

THIRD MANILA EXPEDITION.
Fleet of Transfer Ships Has Been
Selected.

San Francisco, June 11.-So far as is
now known, the third Manila fleet will
consist entirely of the Para, Ohio, In
diana, Victoria, Olympia, Arizona, and
possibly the City of Puebla. The steam
ship Peru is the next Pacific mail vessel
due from China. She is an American
ship and may be taken for a transport
The City of Rio de Janeiro and the
Alameda are also likely to be charter
ed or impressed into service when they
arrive from across the Pacific.
The government has fixed the follow
ing war valuations on Pacific mail
steamers already taken:
City of Peking, $3.50, 900: City of Sgd
ney, SAFE, 1000; China, $780, 1000; Colon,
$350,000 If any of these vessels should
be destroyed by the enemy, the govern
ment would have to pay the valuation.
If any of the vessels are lost by the
action of the elements, the company
must stand the loss.

Spain Would Decline.

Madrid, June 1.-THE campaign in
augurated by some of the foreign news
papers in favor of peace between Spain
and the United States is not approved
here. According to the opinions of
several generals Spain is capable of
continuing the war in Cuba for two
years, even under the most unfaVorable
circumstances. Therefore they add
it is useless to talk of peace unless it
implies a return to the status quo ante
bellum.
The government, it is added has not
received any suggestions of peace from
the powers and in political circles, it is
declared that if such a suggestion were
received the government would politely
decline to entertain it on the ground
that Spain has decided to pursue the
war to the bitter end.

FROM HEAD TO MOUTH.


Confidence In the Pine creek discovery,
that a few weeks ago startled entire South
eastern Alaska, Is increasing and there
seems 10 he no indication that there Is
anything in the nature OF a fake about IL
According TO Capt Harry White. of the
steamer Utopia, which arrived direct from
Skagway and Dyea yesterday. several Of
the stampesiers had returned after locating
claims on the new creek
George S. Woods was one OF the men
who reached Dyea after a two days travel
frem Pine creek He confirms the state
ments Of the discovery as made by the
Post -IntelIgencer week ago. He reach
ed the creek on July 30 with party CON-
posed OF Harry Lund, Tom Wilson and
George Femeyer They all secured claims.
Woods does not have much hope for the
crowds going in as the entire creek, bench
claims and all were staked as we'll as the
pup that branches off.
Claims are being developed and on some
of them. Woods says. from 10 to Is cents
to the pan is being found almost on the sur
face. This indicates very rich ground at
bed rock. He says that the surrounding
country is being rapidly covered and that
ore creek flowing into Lake Attn gives in
dication Of richness.
Investigation shows that the source of
Pine creek is a small lake about 4 mile in
width. The lake is twenty miles from. the
mead OF the laku flFeF. WHICH uc"S

enough people at Skagway and Dyea to
