How p. e. Gallagher Lost His Life
In South Dakota.
WATERFOWL, S. D., Aug. 9.-(Spe-
cial. 1.-The preliminary hearing before
Justice court Of Henry Walker and P.
E. Gallagher charged with the murder
of the man found in car several days
ago, showed evidence sufficient to hold
them for trial at the next term Of court.
The evidence shows that the murdered
mans name is P. e. Gallagher, and his
hcme is Gibson, o. He was travelling
through the country. The man who
gave the same name is Henry Elliott,
and he used the name Of the murdered
man in order to secure cash for bank
draft, made payable to P. E. Gallagher.
J. v. Gallagher, Of Newark, O., reach
ed the city last night and Identified the
body Of the man as that Of his brother.
He will take the body home tomorrow.
The evidence shows one of the most
destardly plots ever Matched up in this
section Of the state, and the chain OF
circumstantial evidence shows Elliott
to be the guilty party.

Fate in Store for Soldiers of the
Third Virginia Regiment

Fate in Store for Soldiers of the
Third Virginia Regiment.
WASHINGTON. Aug. s.-A distur-
bance, caused by number of men Of
the Third Virginia, has created a SEN
sation at Camp Alger and probably will
result in the dishonorabl discharge Of
a number Of soldiers. Yesterday even
ing member Of that regiment had
trouble with a teamster outside the
lines, and blows were exchanged. 1t is
said that the Virginian was getting the
worst Of 1t, when a number of his COM
rades rushed across the sentry lines to
his aid. Gen. Retler, commanding the
division, saw the latter part of the out
break and took a serious view Of the
incident. He has announced his de-
cision to have every one engaged dis
honorably discharged. and all passes
and furloughs are to be given only by
his personal order Roll call will be
had four times a day and all absentees
reported to the general. The members
Of the regiment will be confined to their
quarters until further orders Col. Nal
lie, of the Third Virginia, said today
that ne was in his tent, not far from
the scene Of the disturbance, but heard
no noise. He says his men exhibited
an unmilitary but natural curiosity.
Three men have already been arrested,
but their names are not known.
Preparations are making for the
march to Thoroughfare Gap. A graft
flying decrease is noted in the number
Of typhoid cases, only nine having been
reported since yesterday noon.

Spain's Answer to Peace Note Is Not

LONDON, Aug. 10.-The Madrid cor
respondent Of the Times says:
There is no longer any doubt that the
American proposals have only been ac-
cepted ad referendum. There was
some difference Of opinion, but a ma
jority Of the cabinet decided that the
government would be exceeding its
powers If it consented unreservedly to
a cession Of territory and that there
fore 1t would be better to state this
fact clearly and thus avoid any pos
sible misunderstanding with the United
States.
1.-THE decision now rests with Presi-
dent Mckinley. If he Is willing to ne
gotiate on this conditional basis, much
valuable time will be saved, but If he
insists upon the consent of the cortes,
a considerable delay will be inevitable.
The ultimate sanction Of the cortes is
certain; but the debates might be pro-
tracted since the procedure Of the
Spanish parliament does not provide
for closuring Of factious obstruction.
The note of the United States. it Is
said, suggests that in any case the
non-consent Of the cortes need not

TROOPS TO BE SCATTERED.
No More Concentration of Large
HOdfes of Men.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The inter
esting feature of todays news of the
war department was the cable from
Gen. Miles stating that he did not need
reinforcements and advising that no
more troops be sent to Porto Rico. The
effect of this dispatch was to stop the
embarkation Of troops at Newport
News and to stop Gen. Wade's corps
from sailing. The disposition Of the
troops which are not now needed for
active service at once was considered
by the department officials, and the de-
termination was reached that there
would be a general movement from the
larger camps Some of these troops
will be sent north where they will be
in a cooler climate and stationed at
camps which are under consideration,
but which have not yet been definitely
selected. Investigation Of a number of
places are in progress, with special
reference to the health Of the camp
and water supply.
1t is believed by the authorities that
good water will go a long way toward
maintaining the healthfulness of the
troops. Some regiments will be remov-
ed at once, and those which cannot
be moved probably will be ordered to
proceed upon practice marches, the OBJ
ject being to scatter the troops as
much as possible and to relieve the
several camps from the effect Of con-
centration. The belief is now general
among the officials Of the war depart
ment that concentration in large camps
and comparative inactivity, together
with the failure of troops to take rigid
precautions, as advised by the med-
ical department. has been the cause Of
so much sickness in the various camps.
1t Is stated that one reason why con-
centration has been allowed to con-
tinue and no orders issued for the prae-
t1ce marches was that the troops might
be expected to be called for In a short
time for service In the field. AS this
Is no longer probable, orders are ex-
pected to be issued very soon which
will move many Of the troops and
spread them about the country in new
camps or upon practice marches.

named are at Newport News, and will
be detained there until the department
has arranged for their further detail.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

NEW YORK, Sept 2.-Bradstreets Financial Review tomorrow will say: Prices have been irregular and at the beginning of the week the tone of speculation was reactionary. Large interests were disposed to withdraw support or to act on the bear side and there was more or less liquidation of the large bull account open for the public. London also sold and the nrmness of the money market checked speculative. buying In spite of the weakness of exchange and the increasing probability of gold imports The news that some gold was com ing to the United States from Australia and London seemed however, to diminish pressure In the money market and arrested enforced liquidation of stock. Later on the market though still irregular, exhibited hrmer tone, advances being scored in the Pacific stocks while shorts covered in Manhattan, People s Gas, Sugar and other portions of the list which had been depressed by bear selling. At the same time London showed increased readiness 10 purchase heavily, although interests there had advanced sharply on fears of drain of at the West was reported to have injured the corn crop and this the Granger shares were quite heavy
 Transactions in bonds were smaller and some of the more active investments and some of the speculative specialties have receded as to price. On the other hand the railroad bond list shows other issues which have advanced notably those of the Northern Pacific road, while new records have been made in some lowprced bonds like those of the Colorado Midland.
 Governments have been less active and the older issues are fractionally lower, while the new Js fell from lO5l4 to 104. ralying to t05h The decline was on the accredited delivery of allotment to subscribers for 5000 amounts of new bonds.
