this conference came to an end, and
Sponogle left the three trustees.
Gould, Curnow and Hale proceeded to
a well-known restaurant, just above
which is the Office of Frost. Here they
We're met by Frost. A few minutes
later Gould and Frost left the restau-
rant and went upstairs to Frosts Of
flee, while Curnow and Hale remained
in the restaurant, presumably awaiting
the return of their colleague.
Frost claims to have in his possession
much damaging evidence against DR..
Sponogle and also against the appoint
ees of the members of the board who
have refused to put on the Gould collar.
After Frost got through with his SEN
sational charges against DR.. Sponogle
he ostentatiously passed his business
card around among all the members
and insisted upon DR.. Sponogle also
taking one, remarking that he was
ready and willing to work for any or
all Of them.
At 1 o'clock this morning Gould and
Frost were still closeted in the latter's
office, while Hale and Curnow were i'm
patiently awaiting Gould's return. The
presumption is that Gould and Frost
could not come to terms IN reference to
the detectives employment.

London, Nov. 26.-The London office
of a Philippine capitalist has received
a letter from its agent at Manila, dated
Oct. Is, in which the agent says:
THE rebels are prepared already to

dence of their chiefs, and 1 assure You
they are quite prepared to retire to
the hills if more than a protectorate is
offered. l hope it will not come to war

protracted affair. The Americans would
not find the rebels as easy as the
Spaniards did, for they formerly had
only 400 rifles, while the rebels now
have $4,000 rifles and eighty cannon,

The Manila correspondent adds: 1.-THE
Americans are not allowed 90 pass the
rebel lines without passports. A party
of German officers who attempted to
do so without passports were mistaken
for Americans, and were refused per
mission. When it was discovered they
were Germans, the officers were per-

and brought to Vernal today by Con-,
stable Eben Snow Of Green River on
the charge of grand larceny, preferred
by A S. Richardson, foreman of the
Hatch Horse & Cattle company. From
what can be learned it seems that a

Mountains county to watch the Utes,
surprised the two men while in the act
of butchering cattle on the range. Their
actions being of a very suspicious char
acter Foreman Richardson, of the
Hatch company, was notified and the
arrest followed. They were brought
before Justice Pack this forenoon, who
held them in the sum of $500 until the
sheriff of Rio Blanco county, Colorado,
where the affair occurred, could be
communicated with. Not being able to
furnish bail the men were lodged in the
county jail. They claim Snake River,
Colorado, as the place of their abode,
and declare when they can commune
cate with their friends all will be made
clear, as the cattle were their own prop
erty.

The distinguished visitor spoke freely
of her visit to the mothers congress, in
which she manifested great interest.
Il am quite aware of the condition of

The lady is an ardent suffragist, as
was noted from her conversation
throughout. She impresses one in her
every act as being sentimental, and
this is borne out when she speaks or
sings. She possesses a sweet soprano
voice, and invariably her selections are
made more for the beauty of the
words than the music. She sang for
