San Francisco, Dec. coin the Botkin
case yesterday Miss l.%ie Lovernash.
a reporter explained that she was de-
tailed to interview Mrs. Botkin at
Healdsburg, where the accused was in
seclusion at the time of the murder
Miss Lovernash told the story Of Mrs.
Botkin's acquaintance with Mrs Dun
ming as Mrs. Botkin had told it to her.
When told that she was suspected the
accused became hysterical and ex-
claimed: Why should be suspect
ed? 1t would have been better to have
killed the man and spared the mother
to her child"
Witness said the prisoner spoke of
come letters in connection with the
case, and asked witness " handwriting
experts would be able to identify the
writing of a person laborng under
great excitement. Mrs. Botkin also
spoke Of a number of letters sent to
Mrs. Dunning, and said they were sent
by a woman in San Francisco.
On another occasion, while Miss Low
ernash was with Mrs. Botkin in Stock
ton, Mrs. Botkin's son, Beverly, enter
ed the house in a state of intoxication
and made remarks concerning his
mothers relations with Dunning. Mrs.
Botkin turned to Miss Lovernash ap-
pealingly; saying: What shall do?
My son has the insolence to damn me-"
John p. Dunning. husband Of one Of
the victims of the tragedy. testified as
to his relations with Mrs. Botkin, and
described with some degree Of detail
the affairs up to the time he left this
city for Cuba, where he was to do
newspaper work. He said that he had
received many letters from Mrs. Botkin,
but had destroyed them as fast as they
came. l'
On his return from Salt Lake City in
August, 1897 Mrs. Botkin said she had
obtained a divorce from her husband,
and for long time he believed this to
be true. He had told Mrs. Botkin on
one occasion that his wife was passion
ately fond of candy. He identified the
anonymous letters. the address on the
box of candy and the enclosed note as
being in the handwriting of Mrs. Bot
kin.
On cross examination Attorney
KNIGHT asked Dunning if he had been
intimate with other women. On reply
ing in the affirmative he was asked to
name them. This he reused to do.
Knight insisted on a repfy, and Judge
Cook instructed DunuiuC to answer He
again refused, whereupon the judge
committed him Tor contempt. He was
then arrested.

starting and completing the road and the cost of it would be a mere baga- telle in comparison to the benefits. It would maintain itself in a short time.
 Dr. E. W. Wilbur took the first horseback ride of his life over the road now under consideration. Eff forts made by him heretofore in the interest of road between the two points named had met with discour- agement and he expressed the belief that success would crown this effort ii the men present would take hold of It Tn proper manner. He thought If twenty men would signify a willing ness to back the enterprise financially there would be no trouble in getting the support of the people. He would be one of the twenty, and was willing to do anything to advance the pro- 1ect. His estimate of the cost was $10,O00. He figured that a toll of 50 cents for a two-horse vehicle and sl for four-horse vehicle would not be
 
 MT. W. A. Wall, mail contractor said that if this road was put through he could promise that the Globe mail would then come through Mesa City. and the mail contractor would be good for at least sS65 per annum, sum sufficient to keep the entire road in repair.
 MT. Heyman made a motion that the chair appoint a committee Of ways and means composed of men from Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa and Globe. This motion being seconded by c. c. Randolph and carried, the chair ap- pointed the following:
 Phoenix-B. Heyman, chairman: H. B. Kemp, W. Talbot, Aaron Goldberg. J. W. Evans, Charles Goldman, Joseph Monihon, George H. N. Luhrs, J. c. Adams, William Christy and E. Gang. Mesa-W. A. Kimball, chairman; C. R. flakes, B. M. Johnson, H. s. Peter son and E. W. Wilbur.

SPAIN WILL ACT.
When the Congress of the United
 States Gets Through.

Madrid, April 13.-(3:30 a. m.)-As a result of the long and important cabinet council last night the Spanish war office is actively engaged in forti- flying and manning the Mediterranean islands of Spain and placing other portions of the kingdom in a state of defense. It is understood that instruc- tions have been cabled to Captain General Blanco to carry the suspen- sion of hostilities into practical effect according to the circumstances in each district The cabinet refuses States to intervene in Cuba.
 The cabinet meeting lasted five hours and it is said was mostly de- voted to the consideration of President McKinley's message. When the min isters adjourned an official note was issued setting forth the views of the government. In brief, the note sets forth that the cabinet has granted an extraordinary credit for war purposes and has incidentally increased a grant for the account of the artillery Of Porto Rico.
 The note affirms that President Me Kinley's declarations in the message are incompatible with the sovereignty and rights of the nation and an inter ference in the international affairs of this country. The Spanish govern ment, however, is not called upon to take action until the recommendation of President Mckinley have become specific acts.
Arizona republican., 1898-04-14

Washington, April 13.-This was the most momentous day in the history of congress since the darker days of the civil war
 The solution of the Spanish-Ameri- can complication has been practically reached. A conflict between the nations is now regarded as unavoid- able except in the event that Spain abandons the last stronghold she has occupied in the long and exciting dip lomatic struggle.
 All interest was concentrated in the capitol, where after all nothing affect ing the Maine question occurred that was not expected last night. The res olution agreed upon by the republican caucus of the house committee on foreign affairs was presented and adopted by an overwhelming vote.
 The resolution is as follows: "Re- solved, That the president is hereby authorized and directed to in- tervene at once to stop the war in Cuba, and to end the war with the purpose of securing permanent peace and order there, and establishing by the free action of the people thereof a stable and independent government of their own in the island of Cuba; and the president is hereby authorized and empowered to use the land and naval forces of the United States to execute the purpose of this resolution"
 The slight opposition did not arise altogether from an objection to the terms of the resolution, but rather to the rule under which it was adopted. But all was done according to pro- gramme.
 The house proceedings were marred by unexpected and extraordinary scenes of disorder, which, however. only incidentally grew out of any dif- ference of opinion regarding the res oIution.
 It was not expected that action would be taken upon the senate com mittee majority report which is in suD- stance the same as the resolution passed in the house. It will undoubt- edly be disposed of today.
 Advices from Madrid leave little to hope for in the interest of peace from that quarter, and the prediction is made that the friendly relations be- tween the two countries will formally end on the passage by the senate of the majority report.
