Peace and quiet prevailed in this city
to-day, although the details of yester-
days bloody street riot. in which FIVE
well known citizens were killed, were
eagerly discussed on the streets Gov
ernor Jones arrived to-day from Little

Judge Belding, Who was sworn in as
Chief of Police last night, has appoint

ther trouble is now anticipated.
Sheriff Bob Williams, who was so
prominently identified with yesterday S
tragedy, is one of the best known pub
lie men in Arkansas. He had served a
previous term, and was a long time
Mayor of Hot Springs.
Chief of Police Thomas c. Toler one

age. He was absolutely fearless of
danger. He had lived in Hot Springs
about twenty-five years, and had a
somewhat stormy career.

The witness testified that he had been

about the middle of January last. He

In answer to questions by Major Lee,
Rambo stated that two carloads of can
ned beef sold to the Government by the
Armours were returned some time in
May.
What was the character of the re-
turned meat?" asked Major Lee
when the cars were opened, many
of the cans were found to have burst
Maggots were crawling everywhere
The stencil was so bad that ammonia
had to be used to kill it, l was en-
ployed in unloading cars"
What was done with the cans?"
1.-The spoiled ones were taken to the
cooking rooms; the others to the re-
torts"
And then?''
81 don't know. I suppose the good
meat was put on the market again.
About how many cans in the two
cars were spoiled?" asked Colonel Gill
lespie.
II think they would average about
two to the case. With 500 cases in the
car that would make 1000 cans
Major Lee asked the witness if he had
ever seen Government inspectors ex-
anime any of the cans or cases.
Il never saw any inspection made.
We all helped put on the inspection la

OFFICIAL NEWS NOT YET RE-
CEIVED AT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, March 17.-Oficial
news of the action at Madrid was not
conveyed to the State Department be-
fore the close of the departmnt for the
day. NJ Cambon called at the depart
ment about ten minutes to O'Clock,
and in the absence of Secretary Hay
called upon Assistant Secretary Hill.
He told the latter that he believed the
treaty had been signed.
It SENS now probable that to the
ambassador will be confided the honor
of closing up the task which he set
about seven months ago, that of bring
ing two great nations. then at war,
to a state of peace. Usually the rule is
for a nation situated as is Spain to
send a special envoy charged with the
duty of exchanging the ratlflcat1ons,
but q good reason for accepting again
the French ambassadors offices in this
last function would be the saving OF
time.
The signing of the treaty cannot in
any manner affect the status of the
Spanish prisoners in the hands of
Aguinaldo, for the United States Gov
ernment is doing all that it can to Sc
cure their release. Still it is apprehend-
ed that the Spanish Government. being
able to address itself directly TO the
United States Government. as soon as
the ratifications are exchanged, will not
neglect to press the matter upon the
attention of the State Department, and
perhaps will solicit authority to resume
direct negotiations with the insurgents
looking to the release of the prisoners.
If the Spanish Government should in
sist, some disagreeable questions may
be raised, involving the formal recoS-
milton of the insurgents by Spain, in
which case, perhaps. it might claim the
right to deal directly with Aguinaldo.
Contrary to an expectation that SEEM
ed to have obtained in some quarters,
the signature of the treaty does not in
volve the immediate discharge of all the
volunteer soldiers. 1t was stated posi-
lively at the State Department that,
legally, the treaty does not go into ef-
feet until the ratificationS have been
exchanged, and it will further be neces-
sary for the President to proclaim it
before the people of the United States,
including the soldiers. before it can be
known officially that the war is over.
In all other aspects. however, the State
Department will treat the war as at
an end

MRS. MARTHA PLACE.
The Murderess Seems to be Resign
ed to Her Fate.

NEW YORK, March 17-Warden
Sage of Sing Sing Prison sent out to-
day the invitations to the witnesses
who will be present at the execution
of Mrs. Martha Place for the murder
of her step-daughter Ida Place. 1t is
generally understood the execution will
occur ON Tuesday at about IL a. m.
The Warden said to-day that Mrs.
Place had passed a quiet night, and
seemed to be resigned. She has now
given up all hope. and when her spirit
ual adviser, Rev. Mr.. Cole of Yonkers,
left her last evening, she assured him
that she would place her trust in God.
Mrs. Place has had but little appetite
since she learned Governor Roosevelt S
decision yesterday that the law would
have to take its course, and she ate
sparingly of the breakfast which was
sent to her apartments this morning.
She wrote a number of letters to her
fifteen year-eld son, who is adopted in
a family in Newark The boy has not
answered any of the letters although
his foster parents allowed him to visit
his mother after her arrest for the
murder in Brooklyn.
By order of Governor Roosevelt the
execution of Mrs. Place will be con-
Quoted as privately as possible. There
will be present only the required num-
Der OF doctors, including one female
physician, the Warden's deputies, a wo-
man attendant for Mrs. Place, who will
adjust the electrode, and a limited num-
Der of newspaper men, possibly but
two. The Warden has secured a wo-
man who will attend Mrs. Place as she
is strapped in the chair. The removal
of hair from the back of the woman's
head will probably not be done until
everything is prepared for the execu-
ton, and just before she is taken from
her cell to the execution chamber.
