TO BE HUDSON.
His Appointment as Brigadier
General of Kansas is
Assured.

Private advices received in Topeka to-
day announce that at a conference between
President Mckinley and the secretary of
war it was agreed that Major J. K Hud-
son should be appointed brigadier general
OF Kansas volunteer soldiers. The in
forma ton comes from an official of the
government, and while not in the nature
of an official communication it is never
theless reliable.
The Republican members of the congress
sional delegation had already indorsed
Colonel J. w. F. Hughes for the position,
but Senator Baker urged the appoint
ment of Major Hudson after the recon-
mendation of Governor Leedy had been
made Congressman Curtis remained a
supporter of Colonel Hughes to the last.

Inquiries show that a passenger who
arrived there from Spain yesterday af-

Moret and Marshal Campos had been
murdered and that Premier Sagasta
had sought refuge in the embassy at

The dispatches sent from Madrid last
night, reporting the speeches of Senor
Sagasta and Marshal Campos, show

A SPY CAUGHT.

Philadelphia. May 4--The report that
a supposed Spanish spy had been captured
aboard the auxiliary cruiser St Paul at
Cramps yard last night was confirmed
today. Who the man is, Captain Sigsbee
refused to state. All this is known of him
is that his father was a Spaniard and his
mother was born on Cuban soil. The sus-
pect enlisted some days ago as an oiIer
and almost from the time of enlistment
was under suspicion on account of his
peculiar actions.
Last night a marine who was on watch
below decks near the powder magazine
discovered the man acting in a suspicious

ground and a short and severe fight fol-

Lisbon, May 4.-News has been re-

from the Cape Verde islands to the Ca
nary islands, is about S76 miles and the
Cadiz about 700 miles. The Spanish
squadron being five days out from ST.
Vincent, could have made Cadiz by this
time, steaming at the rate of about 800
miles a day, or a little over II knots an
hour. But the Lisbon dispatch does
not say distinctly that the squadron has
reached Cadiz. 1t announces that the
squadron has returned to join the
Spanish fleet near Cadiz,' which may

from the Canary islands. or from some

LOUD CANNONADING
Heard Of the Newfoundland Coast is
Still Unexplained

ST. Johns, N. F., May 4.-The te1e-
graph operator at Trepassey reports
further concerning the mysterious can
nonading off that port Saturday night
as follows:
About 10 O'Clock Saturday night
heavy firing could be distinctly heard
in the bay south of Trepassey, lasting
about Is minutes. The shots came very
quickly after each other, some being
very loud and heavy, sufficient to cause
the houses here to tremble. Others
again were short and sharp. as if from
lighter pieces.
Another cannonading was heard be-
fore daybreak on Sunday. This lasted
about 20 minutes. Crowds of people
aroused by the first reports, fOcked to
the waters edge The first impression
was that some steamer in distress in
the bay was firing rockets; but the dis
charges were too heavy and too rapid
for that. Then it was agreed that per-
haps there was a naval battle in pro-
greSS.

number of Trepassey people saw a

Governor Leedy went out to Camp
Leedy about o'clock Tuesday evening.
He took a hack to make the trip, and
before he left the state house he hunt
ed up a janitor and secured entrance to
the state armory. Then with the aid OF
the janitor and the hack driver he
gathered together as many military
overcoats as the hack would hold
in addition to his person and loaded
them in, paying the driver an extra
half dollar for hauling them to the fair
grounds.
Lots of those fellows came to To-

This morning Governor Leedy made a
second visit to the camp, and remained
for several hours among the men. This
gave rise to the rumOr around the state
house this morning that the chief exec
utive was starting to get accustomed
to camp life, and meant to resign as
governor and take a. place as colonel.

He asserts that the firing was heard
by both himself and his brother. The
weather was not foggy at the time,
but only hazy; and there was conse-

because of danger on that score. This
operator said the firing lasted about
ten minutes and that the shots were

No wreckage could have drifted
