That Bottlin9 Story
Sampson Has Not Yet COrralled
 the Spanish Fleet.

WASHINGTON, may %o.--oecretnry Long says, Sampson is nearer Havana than is supposed. Mckinley announced that 100, 900 troops would be poured into Cuba soon as possible. It is asserted that Algsr will resign before tue week is out. Spanish naval officers scout the bottling story of Spanish fleet in Santiago. Sampson will bom- bard San Juan as soon as troops are ready to land.
 WAsHNeTos, May 26.--No engage ment in Cuban water yet. President Mckinley called for 75, 900 more volun- teers this afternoon.
 HoSa KoNG, May 2G---Reported that the cruiser Baltimore of Dswsy's squadron has been disabled.
 KEY WEST, May 26.--The Oregon arrived this morning, taking on more coal and ammunition.
 MADRID, May 26. Havana dispatch says American vessels have selled the forts at Hilsrio.
 WASHINGTON, May 24.-There was lapse into sensational war rumors in Washington today after a week of com- parative quietude. Rumors ranged all the way from the capture of the little Mangrovei with crew of thirteen men, to the reported destruction of the en- tire Spanish fleet by Sampson's and Schley combined forces. They were circulated with persistence notwith- standing their denial as soon as they could be brought to the stloLtion of any official carabls of passing judg- ment on their accuracy.
 As the dsy rolled along the officials themselves became apprehensiye as was shown by the frequency with which they called for the latest newspaper bulletins. At the close of the day, however, 1t was again announced in the most positive manner that the navy de- partment had no information to war rant the report of any sort of engage ment in the Windward Passage. This did not specifically cover the waters of the West Indies, but iu view of the fact that the department has almost pledged itself to let the public know of anything in the nature of general engagement, possibly the bulletin an nouucement is sufficient to cover the case.
 When Secretary Long started for home after an exceptionally busy day he stated to s group of newspaper men that the department had received no information of importance. In re- sponse to an inquiry as to where the Spanish fleet was located Mir. Long re- piled that it was his belief that 1t was  still at Santiago de Cuba.
 Concerning the reported capture of the Nangroye aud the loss of other ships the secretary dismissed these stories as purely conjectnral and not supported by facts. Word had come from the commander of the MaDgroye since the time of the alleged capture showing that the ship coul3 not have been in the hands of the Spanish. Mir. Long paid handsome tribute to the war board and stated that there was no purpose whatever of changing the pres eut system whereby this board cooper ates with him in giving every possible assistance and advice, mainly in the way of information to the admirals in command.

PIMA COUNTY FINANCES.

Ben Hsney, who for the past several montbs has been engaged in exporting the Pima county records, has made his final report, which is mighty inter sstin' resdin." He finds that Fred. G. Hughes peculations began on April 6, 1893, three months after Fred assumed the office of clerk of the board of su- pervisors. His steslings from the county, while seyerslly small, ranging from BIO to Sl65, aggregate S4, ,9ls,lS, for which, the expert says, Hughes can be held on his bond. He also appro- priated money belonging to individuals, who !ntrusted him with the collection of accounts or with warrants, to the amount of Sl ,500.
 As Haghes' shortcomings had been previously exposed and Ee ia now serv- ing O sentence at Yuma for the embez- clement of the funds of the Arizona Pioneer Society, greater interest at taches to that part of the report incul. pating other county officials, and rot ten state of affairs is shown to exist in the affairs of Pima county. In the as- sessor and tax collectors office serious blunders, oversights and shortages gre alleged to exist.
 The assessor and tax collector is charged with having illegally retained Sl, ,135.25, and there is claimed to be due the county on contested delinquent tax cases S10, 0,04O.25, which amount should be ia the treasury. The report eensures the present district attorney and his predecessors in office and the clerk of the court comes in for some legal advice as to the conduct of his office.
 Expert Heney declares that tho pro- bate judge is violating the law in draw ing S5 per diem when drawing jurors etc., as he is paid salary which the law declares is fnll compensation for all services rendered.
 The system of book keeping em. ployed in the tressurer's office is con- demned and changes ard reforms sug- gssted. The sherifT's office was not sighted and the expert delivers an opinion touching the law of mileage and the duties of the sheriff, which that official will find flood for thought. [" The expert also gives the precinct off, cers swipe, alleging that the number of subpnnas charged by the constables seldom tallies with those charged by the justice in corresponding cases. This is serious charge, as under the law it is felony.
 In closing its comments on the re- port the Star asks why Expert Hsney did not investigate the official acts of the board of supervisors and ascertain how much of the peoples money they have expended illegally. The running expenses of Pima county last year were S60,000 in addition to which S2l, ,009 was paid as interes. on the bonded in- debtedness of the county. The condi. tion of affairs shown is certainly de- plorab,e, and with the expert report as basis, should be judicislly inquired into and every dcrelict official prossou- Ss5,
