NEW CASES OF SMALLPOX.
Probable That the City win Lease the
Penitentary Farm.

Two new cases of smallpox-or rather
suspected cases-were discovered here
yesterday. Both of them are negroes.
One is John Dowden, who lives on North
West street. near the railroad crossing;
the other is Ninie Faison, 1l3 South
Mcdowell street.
Dowden is an employe in the railroad
shops here He is all broken out and
has all the appearance of having pc
dread disease. He was visited by
Health Officer Sale and the case report
ed to DIR. McGhee, city physician. but
late yesterday afternoon he had not been
to see the man.
The Faison woman is under the charge
of DR. Lightner (colored). Both she and
Dowden have been indirectly exposed to
the disease.
The nine negroes who have been quar-
antined with smallpox and varioloid near
Johnston Street station are now well
and will probably be released to-day.
Work on the pest house. near the
Holleman place. has been completed, and
it is now ready for the reception of pa
TENTS The ACCESSIBILITY of also renting
the land around it is being discussed.
The city pays SO a year rent for this
house and 400 square feet of ground
around it, The whole farm of - acres,
including the house. can be rented for
5000 n year. or 1925 a year in addition
To what is now paid
The city needs such a farm in con-
nection with the health and garbage de-
partment. and it is very likely that this
one will be leased if an option on ii at
reasonable terms can he obtained.
There is only one case of smallpox at
Carthage negro who has been ut
work at Norfolk on a boat. He has
been isolated and there is no danger Of
his communicating the disease TO any one
else.
DR.. Long the inspector appointed by
the Board of Health, is now at Kinston.
Two new eases have been discovered
there-making three cases in all, so far.
The two new eases are Peter Teal and
the wife of Tom Green, colored. They
have been quarantined and people are
being vaccinated free by the town au
thorities.
The authorities of Goldsboro have adj
mirably handled the two smallpox cases
which broke out there a couple of weeks
ago. The patients were moved out of
the city and isolated, and one day this
week fire was set to the two houses
in which the disease broke out and they
went up in flames. The fire department
was first called out, and the ground all
around the two houses was flooded with
water in order to prevent the fire from
spreading to other property.

GARRISON FOR ZAMBOANGA
American Troops to Be Sent to thnt
Port to Relieve the Span
ish Forces.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-It is expected at
the War department that General Otis will
take steps at once to replace the Spanish
garrison at Zamboanga with United States
troops. The indications are that a com
paratively small force will suffice, provided
that 1t is supported by one or two gunboats.
The place is one of great strategic i'm
portance, being the capital of the island Of
Mindanao, the second largest in the Philip
pine group, and a good seaport. 1t was to
this point that the Spanish forces retreated
from lloilo when that town was evacuated
without notice to the American forces. The
town is easily defensible with a small
artillery force. The fact that the insurgents
are in possession of rapid fire guns makes the
situation at Zamboanga more serious, but it
is not believed here that they have a large
supply of the ammunition necessary to
operate the weapons, which will consequently
soon become useless to them.
Through unofficial agents the government
here has been quietly making investigation
into the state of affairs in the Sulu group
just to the south of the Vizayas islands,
with a view to determining whether by good
management the inhabitants cannot be
brought into allegiance to the United States
without Instruction. The natives are gen.
orally Mohammedans and owe allegiance to
a sultan whom the Spaniards have never been
able to bring into more than nominal sub
mission. He maintains a harem and lives
in state, and it is probable that an annuity
Will have to be provided for him out of the
revenues of the islands after the United
States takes possession.

HORLOCEER CASE UP TODAY
State Has Summoned Twenty Witnesses and
the Defense None.
DEFENDANT IS REPORTED TO BE I'LL
Has Kept Close TO the House and
Most of the Time to Her Bed
Since She Was Brought
Back to Hastings.

HASTINGS, Neb., May 15.-CspecialJ-
The preliminary hearing Of Miss Viola Hor-
locker, the young stenographer who is now
under a $4,000 bond, charged with having
attempted to take the life of Mrs. C.. f.
Morey by sending her a box Of poisoned
candy, will come up for hearing before
County Judge Bowen Wednesday morning at
> O'Clock. There have been twenty witnesses
for the state subpoenaed by County Attor-
ney McCreary to give testimony for the
state. So far the defense has not subpoe-
naed a single witness. This strengthens the
report to the effect that the counsel for the
defendant will waive examination and a con-
tinuanco will doubtless take the case to the
winter term of the district court, which
convenes December Is.
The interest in this celebrated case has
again revived and as the time draws near
for the preliminary hearing the sensational
thread is again picked up and the whole
affair is being thoroughly discussed from
beginning to end.
Miss Horlocker has been confined to her
bed ever since she returned to Hastings and
is constantly complaining of her head. She
Innate that she is losing her reason and
weeps because she fears to be taken to an
asylum. Not once since she left the Adams
county court house under bond has she been
seen outside of the house, and only once or
twice have her most intimate friends seen
her when she was not confined to her bed.
Although she is supposed to be i'll she is not
under the care of a physician, and conse-
quently the report is current that the ac-
cused is simply acting under the instructions
of her attorneys.
County Attorney McCreary said to The
Bee correspondent last night that he was
positive he had sufficient evidence to con-
Wet the girl Of the crime of which she is
accused and that he was but waiting for
the proper time to show up his evidence and
push the case with all his legal ability. He
further said that with the evidence he has
secured he believes it will take but a short
time to thoroughly convince Miss Horlocker's
attorneys that there is no hope for her and
that she will be promptly convicted.
On the other hand. John NJ. Raglan, chief
counsel for the defendant, says that ne IL
confident that Miss Horlocker will be cleared
of the charge and that 1t will not be on
the ground of insanity, as had been rumored,
but that she would De declared innocent, not
only by the court but by the whole world.

FREMONT, Neb. May 15.-(Special.)-
Ed Smith had his preliminary hearing be-
fore Police Judge Conan this morning on
the charge of robbing Sonin, who runs a
pawn shop on Main street. On Thursday
last, according to the evidence, Smith was
in the store talking with Sonin about a
watch, when he suddenly grabbed the watch
and started for the back door. In the
scufie which ensued Sonin was considerably
injured. Smith got away but was arrested
and the watch found. Judge Conan bound
him over to the district court and in de-
fault of bail he was committed to the county
Jail. The name Smith which he gave is
thought TO be an alias and in the opinion
OF the officers he is an old offender.

FREMONT, Neb., May 15.-(Special.)-
The members of Company F, Third Ne
