The next case called was that
against Geo. Wallace, late arrival Ut

Wallace had been drunk around town
for several days, and while in an in
toxicated condition he told about hav-
ing shot at al officer across the river.
He acknowledged having taken q re-
volver away from a drunken friend of
be Carried it for some time, no one

WAS to order him out of town.
A So ling clerk of the Cincinnati

ed orders from the chief to arrest them
and started in pursuit. The officer
rode up to the trio near the custom

| about three-quarters OF mile west of
the city, where a number of stolen

| they had on were silk and came
from the California store. One dress
and nine pieces of silk, found at the
| house, belonged at Calisher's store.
Mr.. BurRman, of the California store,
when asked if he had identified the
goods, said he had, but whether they
not say positively. Mr.. Calisher states
positively that the goods were stolen
from his store without any possible
cbauce for q doubt. The chief has bad
his eyes on this outfit for some time
past, but never had sufficient evidence
to warrant an arrest.

A rumor was current on the str let's
yesterday afternoon that couple Of
n en- had been arrested ard cor fined in
Jail in Juarez for loudly demonstrating
thelr patrid tic feelings.
The HERALD reporter went over to
investigate the matter. A couple of
men who were sitting at able in
Dieter and Sauer's SALOON were discus
cusipg the present Spanish
American situation. The argument
finally became quite heated, and
one of the men 10 voice louder than
the ordinary exclaimed, "Vive Es-
pana." One of the city's policemen
who was outside, on hearing the ex-
clamation came in and informed the
gen lemen that they would have to
desist in their expressions of patriot
ism, as the authorities over
there he'd received strict orders
from Mexico City to stop all such
demonstrations, and to hold the pro-
prietors of the house for any violation
of the same. So yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Sauer and The bartender who was
on duty at, the time of this occurrence
were summoned before the city judge.
AS Mr. Ssuer was finally able to con-
vince the judge that the house had re-
ceived no such instructions, but would
comply with them in the future. the
Judge dismissed the case.

The Mendenhau wagon yard was
relieved of about $15 worth of goods
last night by an old man named White
1t seems that White owed the stable
80 when he brought his horses in. He
made same excuse for not paying that
bill and said that he could not pay now
but would pay next time. S. S. Mend
entail took the old mans world for it
and allowed him the freedom of the
stable. When be departed for New
Mexico early this morning, however,
he took with Inn blankets, wagon
sheets, single trees, ETC., to the amount
of about $l5. Before Mr.. Mendeuhall
discovered his loss the old man had
crossed the time into New Mexico, and
the property stolen was not worth
while going after.

EVENTS IN CUBA.
Spanish Look for q Decisive Turn
In Near Future.

in Near Future.
NEW YORK, June A dispatch to
the World" from Madrid says:
Great pressure is being put upon the
Government by the press to send to
Manila either Admiral Cervera's squad
ron or the reserve fleet at CadiZ. Eight
thousand men and six batteries could
be embarked within twenty-four hours
at ports in the south Of Spain. But the
Government hesitates to send an ex-
pedition so late, when American rein
forcements from California are likely
to forestall any Spanish relief
The Government expects that events
in and about Cuba will soon give a de-
cisive turn to the course OF the war. 1t
looks for either a landing and defeat OF
the Americans - this is confidently
counted upon-or a signal reverse to
the Spanish forces or Admiral Cervera's
SQUADRON, which will make it easier for
America to adopt the tactics most dis
astrous for Spain-a blockade Of Cuba
and Porto Rico-while waiting for the
end OF the rainy season. BY this time
both islands would be short of provi-
sions. The only drawback to this plan
of campaign for the Americans would
be the fact that this waiting game
would increase the great suffering Of
the reconcentrados and insurgents.
Spain hopes that knowledge OF this dis
tress will drive the United States to
premature action without sufficiently
organised forces.
