QUARTERS, July 10, via Port Antonio.
July H. 1870 a. m.-Deserters from the
Spanish ranks this morning included nom
commissioned officer. He said that tho
situation in Santiago was bad, but by nsS
means hopeless from the Spanish point Of
view. He said the troops had food enough
for their present needs. were in good
health and may make a good fight when
called upon. He said the men were given
81 each on Saturday and as 1t was the first
money they had received in many months
they were feeling very cheerful. The water
supply for the Spanish troops is getting
quite bad and the amount of 1t is some-
what limited, although up to this time
there has been no serious distress on this
account. Desertions from the ranks of
the Spanish volunteers continue, and It
is now said that fully 5000 men who agreed
to fight for Spain are out Of the city. A
party of 500 cavalry left the city Sunday
morning. marching in the direction Of
Holguin. The Spanish infantry have re-
moved all light articles from the trenches
to facilitate their movements In case the
abandonment of the city is determined
upon.

TO RAISE THE FLAG
MAI. GEN. OTIS WILL START FOR
HONOLULU AT ONCE
Will Not Wait the Arrival Of the New
York Troops Who Are to Garri-
son the Capital

SAN FRANCISCO, July 11.-This week
will see another exodus of the Manila
forces. Thursday morning the Peru, car
rying Major Gen. e. 8. Otis and staff, six
troops of the Fourth United States cavalry,
under command of Col Kellogg, and two
batteries of the Sixth United States artil-
lery, under command of Major Grugan, and
the City of Puebla, with the Fourteenth
infantry detachment, will steam out of the
harbor
Major Gen. Otis has decided not to wait
for the New York volunteers, but will pro-
coed at once to Honolulu to assist, accord
ing to his orders, in the ceremonies of oc-
cupying the city. The Fourth cavalry,
Sixth artillery and Sixteenth infantry wifi
have the privilege of taking part in the
ceremonies. They will remain in Honolulu
until the other three vessels of the five
destined for the fourth expedition come on
when the whole force Of troops, with Major
Gen. E. s. Otis and Brig. Gen. H. G. Otis,
will proceed to Manila.
The troops for the Rio Janeiro and st.
Paul have not been selected.
The fifth, and probably last, expedition
to the Philippines will await the returning
transports of the first expedition. the
Australia, City of Sydney and Picking.
The question Of transports is still some
what of vexed one. Some means of
transporting the First New York volun-
teers, who have been ordered to garrison
Honolulu, will have to be secured within
the next few days, and the problem is now
before the quartermaster' department.
None of the vessels of the Manila fleet will
be detached for this purpose, and 1t Is
thought that one or more small vessels
adaptable for the short trip can be char
tered. The question will probably be set
tied before the New York regiment arrives
on Thursday.
Private Dale of Company H, South Da-
kota volunteers, who was accidentally shot
Saturday while cleaning his rifle, will prob
ably recover
Second Lieut.. Burdick of Company H,
South Dakota volunteers, has been made
first lieutenant, and Sergt Burdick of the
same company has been elevated to the
rank of second lieutenant.

! SENATOR ON TRIAL
CHARGED WITH A CRIMINAL
OFFENSE
THE EVIDENCE OFFERED
Accused of Dabbling in Stocks With
Bank Teller and Using Bank
Funds to Gamble

WILMINGTON, Del. July ia trial
probably Unprecedented in the annals OF
this country, that of member of the
United States senate on criminal charge'
began in the United States circuit court
in this city this afternoon before Judge
Edward Il. Bradford. The defendant Isl
Richard Rollin kenney Of Dover, junior
United States senator from Delaware, in
dicted upon charge of aiding and abetting
William N. Boggs, who has confessed to
robbing the First National bank of Dover,
of which institution he was paying teller, or
the sum of SLOT, 1000. The eleven counts IN
the indictment, to which Senator Kenney
has pleaded not guilty, charge him with aid
ing and abetting Boggs to the extent OF
about $500.
Two Alleged Pals in Prison
Two men, Ezekiel L. Cooper of Milford
and Thomas L. Clark of Dover, have al
ready been convicted under similar charges
and are now serving terms of eighteen
months and five years respectively IN the
New Jersey penitentiary.
Boggs was the principal witness for the
prosecution in each case. His story was to
the effect that the greater part of his steal
lngs were expended in stock speculations
and gambling, and that in the stocks and
speculations the defendants were associated
with him by participating in his deals and
that they gave him their checks when they
had no funds in the bank Boggs taking care
of them from the banks funds. The high
position of the defendant drew to the court
room a crowd that damned Its capacity and
overlooked into the corridors.
Senator Kenney's Checks
T. Edward Ross Of Philadelphia, an ex-
pert accountant who went over the bank S
books, testified that he found that various
checks drawn by Mr.. Kenney had come to
the bank and had been cashed when he had
not sufficient balance to his credit to meet
them
E. D. Page of Philadelphia, who was man
ager for E. Cuthbert & Co., the firm Of
brokers with which Boggs conducted his
stock speculations, testified that checks
signed by Kenney were used In the stock
transactions. All were produced and Of
fered In evidence save one for $3.50, and the
defense objected to the admission of testi-
mony with respect to this one. Pending de-
cision upon this objection the court adj
journed until tomorrow morning.

pany. as trustees, against the Stanislaus
and San Joaquin Water company. ]. t..
Drais and Charles Offers were defendants

sons interviewed, claiming right to have
the debts due them from the water compa-
ny paid in preference to the payment of the
mortgage debt. The court rules that they
have no such right, and as the receivers
appointed by the court had received no net
income from the property, the claims Of the
intervenors were not preferred claims, and
could not be paid until the mortgage had
been satisfied.

based on an estimate of $4,000 men in Gen.

LONDON, July 12.-The Times, comment
ing editorially this morning on the Gloomy
Outlook for Spain" says:
UNLESS the new cabinet is quickly
formed, the delay may easily ensue in
confusion or even disorder, which would
indefinitely complicate the whole problem"
The Times thinks the government at
Washington unwise to insist upon the I'M
conditional surrender of Santiago. 1t says
besides rsking an unnecessary loss OF
life, without probably furthering the con-
quest of Cuba, the United States may soor
find itself in position of serious moral re-

Zeigler Defeats Ernest Before the

NEW YORK, July 11.-Owen Zeigler of

met for a twenty-five round fight at the
Greater New York Athletic club tonight.
In the early rounds of the bout the Brook
lyn man had the visitor guessing, but as
the bout progressed zeigler got the upper
hand and If the referee had not interfered
1t Is more than likely that Ernest would
have been knocked out. The bout was
stopped in the seventeenth round by Ref
cree Alex Brown when the men had been
fighting about minute. Zeigler and Ern-
est had got into close quarters and, with
one arm free Ernest uppercut Zeigler three
times. Zeigler was not fighting at the time
and Ernest's arm was around his neck.
The referee, in answer to an appeal from
Zeigler, ordered the men to their corners
and awarded the bout to Zeigler.
