HOWE IN DURANGO.
Thought He Was Smart but Sheriff
Was Smarter.
Locked Up on an Execution For Costs Ia
an Ejectment Case.

Dennis Howe, a North Ender. spent a
part or this afternoon in the county
court house. having been arrested by
Deputy Sheriff Ham on an execution
for costs in trespass and ejectment
suit. Dennis hired a tenement on He'd
ley street and failed TO pay his rent.
After much parleying with him the
owner of the house began suit and got
judgment against him for possession
and costs, but this did not phase Den
mis- a little, for he began scheming.
He thought he would make the ap-
pearance of the tenement as bad as
possible, and having carried his inten-
tions into effect he figured out the sher-
IN would be around yesterday after
noon, so he remained away from work
to see what he considered a nice trick
through. The day before he had hired
tenement across the street, and when
he came home yesterday he said to the
woman in the tenement under the one
he was to be elected from: II am a
bright fellow. so am, for, you see. the
sheriff will be along in a short time
and he and his assistant will have quite
a job lifting that heavy stuff down
stairs, and all / will have to do Is to
get my friends to move IL across the
street" The playing OF the trick was
delayed, as the sheriff did not arrive
until this forenoon. and the owner of
the house had made up his mind that
Dennis should have doubts as TO the
success OF the trick. J. p Beagan was
attorney for the owner of the property.

Washington, July 29.-Interest was
centered this morning on the approach
ing cabinet meeting. 1t was the gen.
eral expectation that in its results this
meeting would prove to be the most i'm
portant that has been held, not only
during the present but in many preced-
ing administrations. Upon the nature
of the answer to the Spanish overture
for peace would depend the whole fu-
ture policy of the United States for it
would determine whether the nation
shall now embark upon policy of
worldwide expansion or shall more cau-
tiously content itself with expelling the
Spanish flag from the western hemi-
sphere, while at the same time proving
what may be in the end ample guaran-
tee for the extension of our trade in the
East
All this means in substance that in
the best judgment of close observers
here, the one critical point is the flu
ture of the Philippines. AS near as can
be ascertained from personal inquiry, a
clear majority of the cabinet are dis
posed to be content with the require
ment Of a coaling station in the Phil
ippines allowing Spain to retain the
remainder of the group Of the islands.

CONFINED HIS
CONDOLENCES

However be it stated that within the
last As hours the President has con-
fined his condolences closely to the Sec
retary of State. so that the remaining
members of the cabinet entered the
White House today with their minds in
receptive condition as to any argu-
ments that might be presented upon
this important proposition and even
prepared for delay.
In connection with the peace nego-
tiations some significance was attached
to the fact that the members OF the
War Board conferred with Secretary
Long I'm his office just before that Of
fetal left for the Cabinet meeting.
While those conferences are frequent,
there was a disposition TO regard this
particular one as having a bearing on
the present negotiations as Capt. Ma
han and the other naval strategists
composing this board will be able to
give valuable advice on the strategic
value and the necessity OF coaling sta
tions in the Philippines. Ladrones and
other points on the highway TO the

ASKS AN INJUNCTION.
Lee Wants Sale Under a Mortgage
Restrained.
Claims he Is aLife Tenant Of Property
on. Jackson Avenue.

An injunction has been asked from
the Appellate Court by jeremiah Lee
to prevent the sale of some property
by John p. Smith under an alleged
mortgage. Mr.. Lee claims that some
time ago he gave deed of a house and
land TO Frederick f. Matteson that was
situated on Jackson avenue and that
Matteson agreed to pay all taxes inter-
est on mortgage and all assessments
against the property. but was to per-
nit Lee to live on the premises the re-
mainder OF his life. II Is further claim
ed by Lee that Matteson mortgaged
the premises to Smith in order to
bring his, Lees, tenancy to an end in
an improper way. Franklin p. Owen

ceedings. -"f

public. AH
THE RESULTS
INVOLVED

1t will be handed to M. Cambon
whence it may fairly be inferred that
the ambassador will call in person for
it at the White House as soon as he
is notified that the answer is ready.
The simple matter of handing this COM
munication to the ambassador may in
volve quite important results. In the
event of it's being sent to him or handed
TO him, there will be nothing for the
ambassador to do but to forward the
communication to Madrid. If, on the
other hand, he Is invited to the White
House to receive the communication, 1t
opens up the possibility of confer
ence between the president and the am
bassador, which may carry forward the
subject considerably beyond the point
specified in the answer of the United
States government 1t is probable,
however. that the action of the govern
ment will be restricted simply to hand
ing the answer to the ambassador. after
which further discussion on celebrating
or explaining II will be for Spain to
make the next movement.

the Leona on arrival and found all the
sick and wounded convalescent or i'm
proving. Twenty-nine were suffering
with fever. principally of a malarial
form. There was no surgeon on board
and the men were attended by the
ships people and their own officers and
comrades. Owing TO the fact that the
history of the cases showed that no
temperature charts were kept or other
records to guide the health officer and
the fact that these men were ordered
north because the health authorities
at Fortress Monroe would not allow
them to land, DR.. Doty decided to re-
move the twenty patients to
Swinburne Island and the convalescent
and well soldiers to Hoffman Island.
The steamer will be thoroughly dis
infected at the upper station, the
effects Of the soldiers will be disin-
fected at Hoffman Island and the pa
tients will be thoroughly examined at
Swinburne Island. If at the end of the
twcnty-four hours II is found that mono
show symptoms G yellow fever the
Leona and all of the detained passen-
gers will be released. DIR. Doty says
from brief examination he does not
see any reason TO apprehend that any
of the cases were yellow fever and that
in all probability they will be released
tomorrow.

Porto Rico, To the United States, leav-
ing the disposition OF the Philippines

to the United States as a coaling sta
tion and the cession to the United
States of at least coaling station In
the Philippines.
The question undecided is, what dis
position shall be made of the Philip
pine Islands as whole. 1t can be
stated that there is practically no diff-
erence of opinion in the cabinet on the
question of the retention Of the Philip
pine Islands as whole, all the mems
bers being opposed to our acquisition
of those islands. t~
There has been no decision. however,
as yet, on the extent to which the gov
ernment will go in it's decision respect
ing the future of these isands. but 1t Is
probable the answer OF the president
will express the willingness OF the gov
ernment to leave the matter OF the flu
ture government OF the islands en-
tirely in the hands of "a Joint commits
sion to be appointed by this govern
ment and the government OF Spain.
The probability is that the United
States will insist upon a guarantee OF
certain reforms in governments in the
Philippine Islands.

money indemnity. Neither Will there
be any armistice at all. The answer
will be in the nature of an utimatum

from Spain was a very adroit and

PEACE EXPECTED

the administration fully expects peace
