letter 10 the press saying he intends
to remain in Nebraska after hc com.
plctes his term IN the United States
Senate, and denying the report that
he had accepted a position as gcncr-

ChaS, JOyner Arrested,

Chas. Joyner, who attempted to
kidnap his three-year-old child from
the home OF W. NJ. Ready Sunday
night, was arrested by Night Marshal
John P. Millard Monday on a charge
OF disturbing the peace. Joyner, in
stead Of remaining in the city Sunday
night and meeting Mr.. Ready Mon
day morning as hs promised to do
when released, went to Wichita,
where he remained Monday. He
returned Monday night and was ar
rested.
JOyner has employed Herrick &
Rogers as his attorneys and threatens
to bring habeas corpus proceedings to
gain possession OF his child. He
claims that he was acting under the
advice OF his attorney in Montana
when he made the attempt to kidnap
his child.
1t is probable that JOyner will plead
guilty in police court to the charge OF
disturbing the peace, and if any fur
ther effort is made to gain possession
of the child it will be done through
the regular channels OF law. The
children have been taken away from
the Ready home, and are being kept
in hiding, safe from another possible
attempt at kidnapping.

The Hong Kong Daily Press is au-
thority for the statement that 300
Spaniards, including l6 priests, lost
their lives several weeks ago when
the Spanish gunboat Leyte was cap
tured by a vessel belonging to Ad-
miral Dewey's squadron. The Leyte
had been stationed In an adjoining
island, where the insurgents were
numerous and aggressive. The latter
were gaining ground rapidly, causing
900 Spaniards TO board three sailing
vessels in an epdeavor to escape from
the natives who would massacre them.
The gunboat Leyte undertook to tow
these three transports to Manila bay,
where the Spaniards aboard them
were to surrender TO Admiral Dewey
If they did not succeed In land
ing somewhere and reaching Ma
Mia under cover Of darkness.
After the Leyte hal towed
them down Pampangas river and
some distance along the coast heavy
storm came up making 1t necessary
for the gunDoat to cut her tows loose
and proceed to Manila for assistance.
Before getting there she was captured
by the Americans the next day and an
American vessel was dispatched 10
find the three transports, but failed
to discover any trace Of them. The
natives on the adjoining coast say
they saw nothing Of any vessels. The
Hong Kong Press finally reached the
conclusion that the vessels foundered
with all on hoard.

DEFICIENCY BILL
 DULY DEBATED
Interesting Talk in the House Over the Free Delivery
 Seruica

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The general deficiency bill occupied the attention of the House to-day. It will probably not pass the House before Monday, the ses- sion after o'clock being set apart for eulogies upon the late Senator Harris of Tennessee.
 Debate was resumed upon the para graph appropriating s163,OO0 to supply a deficiency in the free delivery service of the Postoffice Department.
 Love D) of Mississippi criticized the department for having incurred expenses In excess of the appropriations made by the last bill.
 cummings D.) of New York and Brad ley CD.) of New York advocated in- creased free delivery, and argued for granting the postal authorities discretion in providing for public needs.
 Cannon explained that should the ap- propriation not be made carriers would be discharged to economize and limit the expense to the former appropriation. The paragraph was passed.
 During the reading of the bill a dis cussion arose over a paragraph of minor interest, incidental to which Ray (R.) of New York, chairman of the Committee on Pensions, asserted that more private pension bills had been passed by the present Congress than were ever passed by any preceding Congress within the same time, and more than the total num- Der passed by the Fifty-second and Fifty third Congresses combined.
 At o'clock the House recessed for the evening pension session.

THE PASSING OF
 JOSEPH M. WOOD. HIS END CAME AFTER A VERY SHORT ILLNESS.

 yers of the State.

 MT. Wood was pioneer and one of the best-known lawyers in the State. In 49. when but boy of 16, he made the journey around the Horn with his father Colonel William G. Wood of New York, who took the journey mainly for his health. and brought the boy with him as a compan- ion. When a young man he took up the study of law and his success has amply attested his ability. From time to time he has been engaged in many important cases, and at one time acted as attorney for the Street Commissioners Although always prominent in politics. he has neither sought nor held public office at any time. He was a prominent member of the Bar Association and the Society of Pioneers.
 The deceased leaves a widow and a family of grown children, as well as two sisters in this city--Mrs. John F. Swift and Mrs. George A Norris He has a brother a captain in the regular army who was recently stationed at Tampa, but has since moved with the troops. Up to the time of his death MT.
