STILL LACKS
 CONFIRMATION No Official News of Sinking of
 Alfonzo XII. PREPARING A GRAND HUNT For All the Small Vessels Left in West Indies, Which Will Be Captured or Des- troyed1is no Friction Be-
 tween Army and Navy
PREPARING A GRAND HUN l

Washington, July 7.-Communication be- tween Washington and the fleet off Havana being more difficult than with the fleet off Santiago, possibly accounts for the failure up to this time to receive official confirma- ton of the newspaper report of the sink ing off Marel yesterday of the Spanish cruiser Alphonso XII. While not a great or powerful ship the Alphonso XII was serviceable cruiser
 The naval officers would rather hear of her destruction than of any vessel remain ing in the Spanish navy. She occupied the berth of the Maine and when the lat ter entered Havana harbor 1t was to the Alphonso buoy that the Maine was moored. While it has never been established who planted the internal machine which de- stroyed the Maine, the o&cers of the All phonso XII never have been cleared of suspicion for it is said that the only prac- ticable means of planting the mine would have been through come agencies on the Alphonso XII.
 Preparing Grand Hunt
 The navy is preparing for a grand hunt throughout theWest Indies. There are q number of Spanish war craft left scat tered through coNeS OH lue tupdH coetot and lying in obscure harbors. These are to be hunted down and captured or de- stroyed and the movement is to begin inn mediately.
 Many of the little boats have been spot ted already through the agency of the state department, and the others will be located soon by the aid of the swift little torpedo boats and auxiliary craft. It was with this object in view that the recently constructed torpedo boats, Gwynn, Morris and others, were ordered from the north to Florida waters.

DETAILS OF DESTRUCTION
 OF CERVERA'S FLEET
A Graphic Description of the Great Naval Battle of the Southern Coast of Cubu by Corre-
 spondent of the New York Sun.

On Board the United States Battleship Texas, Off Santiago, July S.-At 9:SO o'clock this morning, while the battleship Texas was lying directly In front of Santiago har- bor, Lieut. M. L. Bristol saw smoke alis- ing between Morro Castle and La Socapa. An instant later the nose of a ship poked put behind the Estrella Battery. Clash went the electric gongs calling the ships com- pany to general quarters. Full speed ahead plunged the Texas toward the enemy, and up futtred the vari-coored flags signaling ''The enemy is trying to escape.'
 The Brooklyn, Iowa and Oregon respond ed immediately. All headed toward the harbor entrance, being then about two and a half miles away.
 There was much suppressed excitement aboard all the vessels as they sped in the direction of the enemy. The first of the Spanish squadron to come into view was cruiser of the yizcaya class the Almi- rante Oquendo. Closely following her came the cristobal Colon, which was easily dis tingushable by the military masts between har two smokestacks. Then came the two other cruisers, the Vizcaya and the h. fanta Maria Teresa
 Cervera's Ship Opened the Tight
 Almost before the leading ship was clear of the shadow of Morro Castle the fight had begun. Admiral Cervera started it by shell from the Amirante Oquendo, to which he had transferred his flag. It struck none of the American vessels, In twinkling the big guns of the Texas belched forth their thunder, which was followed immediately by a heavy fire from our other ships The Spaniards turned to the westward under full steam, pouring a constant fire on our ships, and evidently hoping to get away by their superior speed.
 The Texas in the Thick of It
 The Texas, still heading in shore kept up hot exchange of shots with the fore most ships, which gradually drew away to the westward under the shadow of the hills. The third of the Spanish vessels, the Vizcaya or Infanta Maria Teresa, was caught by the Texas in good fighting range, and 1t was she that engaged the chief attention of the first battleship com- missioned in the American navy-an old

whist In the Church.

And that's what's the matter with
Emporia-tOo much whist The paint
ed china set is married 70 cards. Women
have no higher thought from weeks
end to weeks end than winning head
prizes. They grow nervous, irascible,
had tempered and ugly playing cards.
Little crows feet appear at the corners
of their eyes after an evening with
whist, and deep, vertical lines plow
thf nselves just sboye their noses.
There are more plain women in Empo-
ria who lost their bloom at the rented
card tables than there are women who
have worn themselves out over the
kitchen stove. II is VERY, not work,
that makes women fade, and cards are
sapping the juice ont Of the town. Only
the young people patronize the public
library. The old folks make Whats
trump" the chief end of man. Cards
have invaded the churches. One church
has a big factional row looming upon
the horizon because the pastor has jump
ed cards Another church narrowly
avoided it last winter. A third pastor
sees his best customers whoOping it up
in whist clubs and hasn't the nerve TO
say a word In the meantime poker

elevating and just as helpful TO the
town as whist clubs, have opened ON

Gave Up to the Lynohsrs.

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 3.-"Boys, string
me up if you like, but remember you are
hanging the steadiest man with six
shooter that ever came out of MOntana.
You say it's all right to hang me and l
guess it is. Pm only sorry didn't get
the rest of them"
With these words Cowboy ''DOc" Tan
ner faced his executiOners on the morn
ing Of January at Valdes pass. The
men who passed sentence on him were
members Of a party Of Massachusetts
prospectors bound for the Copper river
country, Alaska, and the crime for which
Tanner paid the penalty was the killing
OF n. A. Call, of Worthington, Mimi,
and Willianl a. Lee, of Lowell, Mass
The expedition consisted of 40 men, and
Tanner had Joined them in Seattle on
their way north, but he became so quar-
relsome and overbearing that at meet
ing of four men in Calls ten on the even
Ing of January it was decided he must
leave Il party. No sooner had the re-
mark been made than the flap Of the lit
tletent was pulled aside. The cowboy
stood there, six-shooter in hand. Boys,
1 overheard you :alk about me-" he said.
I'm here for business"
Before his victims realized what had
happened Tanner had shot twice and the
bullets pierced Call and Lee through the
chest. Tanner fired again, but his pre-
esding shot had extinguished the candle,
aud the bullet did not take effect. One
Of the remaining members erouehed
down behind some baggage and the other
cutting his way out of the tent, gave the
alarm. Tanner supposing the three men to
be dead, took q station in some brush and
waited. 1t was not long before he was
surrounded "YOu'd better surrender
your gun" was called Quito him.
"If you say 50, boys. I'll do it," was his
response and then be handed over his
weapon. The miners convened and by
an Overwhelming majority decided that
Tanner should be hanged. There was
some discussion over the question of
shooting him, but the majority decided
on the rope. When notified of the deeis-
ion Tanner observed that be hoped they
would not tantalize him by stringiug him
and letting him down again before he
was dead. He was led out of the snow
during the early morning. He fearlessly
allowed the rope to be tied about his neck
and so met his doom. Tanner was bur
led face downward.

Stone Writes A Letter.

WEST CHESTER, Feb. additional
interest was lent 10 the fight between
the Republican factions for delegates TO
the Gubernalorial convention by the
annouseemento jesse Cope, heretofore
one Of the anti-Quay leaders that he
was a candidate for delegate, and that
if elected ne would vote for W. A Stone
Tor Governor.
In making his announcement Mr.
Cope submitted the following letter
which he recently received from Mr..
Stone, his old schooImate, in reply to
his own letter of inquiry
s.Let me answer the two charges
against me; first, that Quay is for me,
and, second, that Andrews is for me,
and that because these two men are for
me / ought not to be nominated. l can
not create a civil service examination to
pass upon the morals and qualifications
Of those who wish to support me and
decline lbe support Of those who are
thought unfit.
sAs to the first, / do not know wheth-
er Quay is for me or not He has never
old me or anyone else, 50 far as can
learn. know that all the other can
didates are urging him to be for themi
that he tells them he is keeping his
hands off, and then sSme Of these can
didates are mean enough to go away
and tell that it would not do 10 nomi-
nate me because Quay is for me.
Their whole source Of reasoning that
Quay is for me is because / was for him
in 1895.
"As to Andrews, he is not running
my campaign at all and never has. He
moved into Allegheny, where reside,
last Summer, for business reasons. ]
knew him very slightly before that,
having met him but few times. Find
ing the people where 1 live for me, he
decided to support me, and did not OBJ
ject.
II am told, and believe, that in No
vember last a meeting was held in
Philadelphia by persons opposed to my
nomination. They could find nothing
to say against my character or fitness
for the Office, and so it was agreed that
they should start the cry that | was
"Bilp' Andrews candidate, and send it
out through the newspapers. am no
ones candidate, and if elected will be
no ones Governor but the peoples. L
have no desire to be Governor except
that may honor and dignity the office
and faithfully and honestly do my
duty"
