A SECOND MANILA.
Spaniards Fear 1t Awaits Cervera and
His Ships Mt SantfagO-Sngas-
ta's Policy Outlined.

Madrid, May 27.-A repetition of the
Manila disaster at Santiago de Cuba is
feared by every Spaniard, as all admit
in confidence if Admiral Cervera is left
to fight against forces three times great
er in numbers than his own.
The uneasiness about the fate of that
squadron hemmed in at Santiago has
risen to the highest pitch. Notwith-
standing that the official reports de-
clare that Admiral Cervera's position
there is secure, as he can defy all efforts
OF the American navy to enter the bay
or to force its way past the batteries
commanding the narrow channel at the
entrance, public opinion is decidedly
against his staying at Santiago. Some
newspapers clamor for his getting out
as quickly as possible and making for
Havana or those American coast towns
which are least fortified.
Madrid, May 27.-Sagasta has out
lined SPANS policy as follows: "There
will be no fight at Santiago unless Ger
vera desires it. The Americans will
find the Santiago forts and the ships
in the harbor very different from those
destroyed by Dewey at Manila. If the
Americans are waiting for a naval
battle before they attempt to invade
Cuba, they will need considerable pa
tience."
Madrid, May 27.-The newspapers
here continue to urge the cutting of
the American cable connections across
the Atlantic if the Cuban cables are
severed.

sinister predictions of an impending

LEGAL UMBRELLA COLLECTOR.
How a Persistent Woman Lawyer
Forced Her First
Success.

Some impromptu remarks at the
woman's suffrage meeting in Washing
ton by woman lawyer from Montana
told in graphic style her story of her
early struggles and her success. She
was a New England woman by birth,
ard went west to practice. She was
the first woman lawyer in the state Of
Montana, and for three years she didn't
earn one cent. Finally she went to
merchant and asked him to permit her
to collect his oils. He told her she
might have all he had, as there was
nothing in them, anyhow. She replied
that she was not beggar, but law
yer eager to earn fee, and after some
conversation he promised that if she
would come again he would hunt them
up and give them to her. She went
again and again without success, he
declaring that he could not be both
cred. Finally, with a great show of
anger, he added: you had better col
furiously-'I have not single one left.
Every body borrows, and no one re-
turns" She asked who had them, and,
obtaining the information, quietly left
The store.
Proceeding to one of the handsomest
houses in Butte. she rang the bell and
told the servant who opened the door
that she was law student in certain
Office, and had been employed by Mr.. =
to collect his umbrellas, and he had d.
rected her there. The umbrella was
promptly produced. At the next place
and the next there were equally ready
responses, but some very mad people.
The very idea of employing lawyer
to collect umbrellas loaned by friend
to friend in friendly way!
Sh ereturned to her employer and
laid three umbrellas before him, and
he was SO angry that he swore, but she
earned her first fee, so cents, and was
happy.
Her perseverance secured her other
work from the same man, and, as min
ing claims are the basis of most legal
work there, she has since received
cases involving hundreds of thousands
Of dollars, and has received fees as
high as $4,000, with contingent fees
Il lands, whose value she has not yet
ascertained.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

Boat CapsiZed.

The first casualty of the season at
Lake Minnetonka occurred when Mrs.
Frank Bean, aged 90 years, of Excel
sior, was drowned by the capsizing of
a rowboat a short distance off the
south end of Big Island. Her husband
and Peter Jensen, also of Excelsior,
the other occupants of the boat, mar
rowly escaped a similar fate.
The drowning resulted from the
reckless handling of an open boat pro-
vided with sail, in the use of which
neither man was proficient. The boat
left the Excelsior dock short time be-
fore the accident on pleasure excur-
sion. The wind was blowing hard at
the time and the lake was rough.

An Appeal to Spain.

Philadelphia, May 27.-It develops
that the Universal Peace union, through
its president, Alfred II. Love, of this
city, prepared and mailed to the queen
regent of Spain and Premier Sagasta an
appeal, asking that government to ac-
knowledge the independence of Cuba in
the interests of peace. The appeal was
first sent on April 21, four days before
this country declared that state of
war existed between Spain and the
United States.

Making 0vertures to Republican
Legislators to Combine.
SENATOR BROWNS JOKE
1T Is TAKEN UP SERIOUSLY BY
CANNoN'S FRIENDS.
Claim That the Tribune Will Not Ser
iously Oppose Cannon-hon. Fish
er S. Harris Denies That He Is
Managing Hon A. w. McCune's
Campaign-The Speakership.

There is many a true word spoken in
jest, and when ex-senator Arthur
Brown jolzingly remarked day or
two ago that the Republicans were go
ing to combine, irrespective of financial
views Cor the election of Hon. Frank
j. Cannon, he unconsciously related
something which has since become
fact.
Acting on the suggestion made, or
having such a plan already in mind,
Cannon's supporters are already PLAN
ming to make oVertureS to the ReOub-
hcan members elect, with view to Sc
curing their support when the legisla-
ture meets. The MOTTO Anything to
beat the Democrats is not to be aban-
doned thus early. 1t viii be argued
that the Republicans have no show of
electing a straight Republican to the
position, and any Republican is better
than no Republican.
BY this argument it is hoped to win
over a large number of the straight
gold element, and then a siege will be
laid to some Of the Democrats, who will
be told of the excellent record made by
Mr.. Cannon on the silver question; how
he voted against tariff, and all that
sort of thing
This information comes from a mem
Der OF the Republican party, hitherto
a silver man, but who recanted and
worked for the regular candidates at
the recent election. He asserts that the
Tribune management has been consult
ed, and has given its consent to the
arrangement, promising to make no
serious opposition hereafter to the plan,
if it does not openly advocate the
scheme. OF course the correctness of
this remains 10 be seen. at any rate.
Hon. Frank ]. Cannon's friends have
mapped out this sort of a campaign,
and its workings will be pursued on the
lines indicated.
1t IS believed there will be several
ballots for senator ere one is elected.
This condition will give Colonel Isaac
Trumbo, Hon. John Henry Smith, Hon.
Arthur Brown and Hon. A. L. Thomas
a chance to receive commentator for
their work by receiving the compli-
mentary vote of the entire Republican
delegation, and no one will have been
harmed. Once this is over, the Cannon
workers will begin making their points.

On Mayor Clark's Action In Re-
moving the Policemen.
WHAT THE RECORD SHOWS
SIX DEMOCRATS STOOD FIRM
AGAINST THE REMOVAL.
One Republican Voted With Them
Four Non-partisans, Two Republi-
cans and Two Democrats Were
With the Mayor = The Lawful
Money Refunding Bonds.

Shortly after the announcement OF
the supreme courts decision, reinstat-
ing the deposed policemen, the stand
ing OF the vote in the city council, May
"a last, on the mayors action making
the removals and appointments, be-
came a subject of discussion by several
city officials yesterday. The records
show that six Democrats and one Re
publican voted to retain Sergeants
Rhodes, Wire and Smith, Detective
Raleigh and Patrolmen Heath. Shan
non, Busby, Cary and Everill, while
four non-partisans, two Republicans
and two Democratic members of the
council voted to remove the nine pollce
officers and confirm as their successors
Mayor Clarl1'S and Chief PrattS ap-
pointees, who We're D. S. Emery, o. p.
Pratt, Richard Eddington, Joseph ).
Barlow, Adam Paul, Ed Talbot, Bow
man Cannon. w. S. Thorn and James
Williams. The seven councilmen who
voted in the negative were Buckle,
Fernstrom, Howe, Margetts, Siddoway,
Weller and Barnes while the eight who
supported the removal scheme were
Councilmen Allen, Callister, Diehl, Nor
ris, Patrick, Robertson, Romney and
Wallace.
Several of the councilmen who then
were on the minority side agreed with
President Barnes that it would be less
expensive to the taxpayers to remove
only one man for the special purpose
of determining in a test case just what
has been decided by the supreme court,
but the majority willed otherwise.
During the discussion yesterday OF
this subject by city officials, the some
what significant incident was pointed
to that in the vote on the proposition
to issue lawful money refunding bonds
by the city in lieu OF gold coin bonds,
the Democratic councilmen stood on
the right side. For the sake of COM
parison it was noted that the roll-call
vote on the bond question differed but
little from the one on the police mat
ter, only Diehl and Allen joining with
the seven whose judgment was sound
on the question of changes in the po-
lice department in refusing to vote for
gold clause bonds. In this latter in
stance, also. the stand taken by the
reliable Democratic side of the council
has been amply indicated by the sue
| cessful floating of the lawful money
issue at a premium.

THE REGISTRY AGENTS PAY
COUNTY BOARD OFFERS A CUT
TO $50 AND DOWN TO $1s.
A Committee of Agents Appointed to
Present the Nature and Worth of
the Work.

When the matter of fixing the COM
pensation of registration agents comes
before the board of county commission
ers on Monday, it is quite probable that
the commissioners will propose an al
lowance of SO per day for five days
work, plus one cent per name for copy
ing and proof-reading each Of the three
books. the maximum and minimum
limit for each set of names being So
and 81, respectively. This proposed ad-
justment viii yield approximately from
SIS to $50 for registrars services.
However, if Commissioner Hall lays
aside his apparent pique because of the
Democratic tidal wave, it is likely a
basis of settlement Will be conceded
to the moderate satisfaction of the IS
registration officers, who are very much
averse to accepting the paltry allow
ance proposed ard which would, they
assert, surely result in the impossibility
to hereafter secure the services of cap
able and trustworthy persons for the
work of registration of voters.
The commissioners yesterday post
poned consideration Of this subject I'M
til Monday, and on the announcement
of this determination about a score of
registration agents held meeting in
County Assessor Quinn'S Office. Each
one expressed his regret art the knowl-
edge of the commissioners intention to
cut their claims to about half the sum
they had earned. But the hope was in
dulged that the board would deal justly
and eouitably with them as soon as the
commissioners became fully informed
as to the extent of the laborious work
the registration officers had been re-
quired by law TO perform. a commit
tee of agents was chosen to represent
the claimants at Mondays board meet

A PECULIAR CASE,
Architect Charged With Hiding

AIcn1CecC CHdTSeu with Hiding
Plans For Court House.
John a. Bevan, one of the commits
sioners of Tooele county, appeared in
Justice Sommers court yesterday and
fled complaint declaring that John
T. Hill. the well known architect of
this city, had committed the crime of
ENLIGHTENMENT by carrying off the speci-
ficauons Of the proposed Tooele county
court house. 1t is claimed that Hill
borrowed the specifications and failed
to return them. Justice Sommer issued
a search warrant, which was placed in
the hands of Deputy Sheriff Gulbran-
son. Armed with this document. the
deputy made a search of Hills Office in
the Templeton and his residence. but
failed to discover the specifications.
Hill was very much incensed at the
procedure, and expressed threats that
he would bring suit against Tooele
county fer OBTAINING his character.
The court house is only W to the
foundation, and it is claimed the work
has been delayed on account of the loss
of the specifications. It appears that
there has been some friction between
