Will Knippenberg Flees
From Los Angeles.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 1.-WiH Knippen-
berg. best known among bicyclists as
Crimson Rim Knip," is missing. His
wife knsws nothing Of his whereabouts,
and anxious creditors are equally in the
dark. Mrs. Knippenberg thinks he went
TO San Francisco on July S. A close friend
of Crimson Rim says that his departure
occurred the following day. Instead of
going to San Francisco Knippenberg
started for Chicago.
Mrs. Knippenberg is sure she is deserted
by the husband she married ten years ago
and that the maintenance of her two boys
rests upon her alone. she mas Deen joined
by her father, Mr.. Maxwell of Indianapo-
lis and expects 10 return with him to the
parental roof.
The action of Knippenberg is a surprise
TO all who knew him. The manner or MS
going is q shock TO those 10 whom he
owed money. Some say the aggregate Of
his Indebtedness is $1,000.
The financial methods of knippenberg
subjected him TO criticism even from ms
best friends. Through the First National
Bank he drew a draft upon the Hecla
Consolidated Mining Company Of Mon
tana for $3.50 Because OF MS beng
known he was able TO receive the casn
without waiting for returns from Mon
tana. IN due time the draft came back
dishonored. Notice OF this fact, sent by
the bank to Mrs. Kntppenberg, was the
first certain proof that her husbands s de-
parture was to be of long duration. Be
fore action could be taken by the bank
telegram was received saying check in
settlement was on the way, and that the
draft would be hOnOred. Henry hnlppen-
berg of MeIrose, Mont, the father OF Will
said TO be very wealthy, is connected with
the bank at MelFOse and, II IS supposed,
paid the draft.

MADRID, Aug. 1.-The second session
of the court-martial of Generals Toral
and Pareia. who were charged with sur
rendering Santiago de Cuba to the Amer
leans without having exhausted all means
of defense, took place to-day.
General Pareja, in his defense. said
the garrison of the city of Santiago de
Cuba lacked food, many OF the soldiers
having died Of hunger. Previously, how
ever. he added, the troops fought bravely
and many officers and men were killed.
In addition the hospitals lacked medicines.
The general read several telgrams ex-
changed between the authorities at
Washington and Major General Shafter,
the latter showing himself confident of
forcing the surrender OF Santiago de
Cuba.
General Toral made a similar defense
He said Santiago de Cuba was defense
less and that il was impossible to hold
out longer He read a telegram sent him
by General BlanCO, who, after consulting
with the authorities at Madrid, approved
of the capitulation. Another Spanish offl-
Ger testified that when he entered Santi-
ago he found three-quarters of the troops
sick
General Rubi gave testimony to the eff
feet that further resistance would have
been equivalent to the death of the re-
mainder of the troops.
Colonel Ordonnez testified that he was

to surrender. He said he believed all
