The expenditures for maintain
ing the army in the Philippines
will be far greater than original
" estimated. For an army Of a
hundred thousand men, consery-
ative estimates have fixed an an
nual appropriation Of 500. 900, :
900. But this sum will be in
sufficient Tor an army, which it
is necessary to transport nearly
ten thousand miles, and where
unusutl equipments for hospital
and medical stores must be pro-
yided.
The Treasury officials accord
ingly are anxious to know where
funds are coming from to pay
the bills to be incurred by taking
all the 100000 men, as now is
decided upon. II is certain that
taxes OF all kinds will be main
tained. But now a good deal Of
quiet talk is heard in official cir
cIes about the probability of an
other bond call within few
months. This will be agerted If
possible, but it is not at all eer-
tam that it will not be indispen-
sable. The war payments win
show increases every month in

INSANITY HIS ONLY HOPE.
Trial Commenced of J. w. Lynn, Who
Fired Five Bullets Into
His Wife.

OAKLAND, Feb. PA plea Of insanity
is the only hope whereby John w. Lynn
hopes to escape conviction of the charge
of shooting his wife five times last Feb
ruary. The trial was begun this morn
ing in Judge Ogden's court and up to the
time of adjournment the following named
jurors were accepted and sworn: Will
liam Bliss, Owen Lafferty, G.. w. Drake,
Joseph Tyson, G. w. Pratt, John Har-
rington and S. F. Brown Jr.
Considerable difficulty was experienced
in securing the above seven jurors, for
in many instances jurors expressed preju-
dice toward the plea of insanity, some
going so far as saying that any man who
deliberately fires five shots into his wife
without some very good motive must be
crazy.
Lynn sat calmly beside his counsel
J. p. McElrath and Hugh Aldrich. Not
an expression of hope or despair appeared
on his face and the proceedings affected
him not at ALL
1t will be remembered that during
Lynn's preliminary examination ne went
violently insane and was committed to
Ukiah, from where he was discharged
as cured about three months ago. At the
trial Drs. King. Elster and Twitchell of

news, DR.. Gardner of Napa and DR.. NJ

The story of the divorcing of Nine. Mon
See1Ie Yates and her husband against their
wishes and the strongly worded letters
from their Montreal home published in

hour in this city. The ladys assertion
that she IS the victim of an outrage ana
that the secret of the conspiracy is known
to only three people, two of whom reside

that en- the day the papers were served
