men--Worst Blizzard ofthe
Season In the Hills.

Sioux Falls, S. D., April 19.-1n the
federal court this morning what prom
ises to be one of the most interesting
and holly contested eases ever tried in
this state was started. The defend
ant in the ease is Mayor A. i. Tubbs,
of Alcester, and the complaining wit
ness is Miss Clara Sadness, of the
same place. Tubbs is charged with
having sent obscene and unavailable
matter through the United States
mails.
The story of the prosecuting witness
is that Tubbs, who is n man of family,
seduced her and finally She became in
u delicate condition. She claims that
Tubbs not only IN through the mails
letters telling her how to secure reliet
from her condition. but also provided
her with instruments to perform All
operation. There are some twenty odd
letters in all, some of which passed
through the mails while, others We're
handed to the girl by Tubbs in person,
so the girl claims. None of these let.
ters are signed by Tubbs and he denies.
being the author of them.
Tubbs claims the case is simply one
of blackmail. There have been two
shooting affairs already growing out
of this case. The little town of Alces,
ter is all split up over the affair. The
citizens of that berg are about evenly
divided on the case. There are about
fifty witnesses ~subpoenaed by the diff.
ferent sides.

special to the Tribune y
Early this week the court of inquiry
will finish its work. The report is now
being outlined. 1t consists first, of i;
finding of fact, which is really only
an abstract of the testimony. General
Miles will not be condemned, nor will
it be found that his charges were en-
tirely justified.
The court will show by ovcrwhelm-
ing testimony that canned beef, while
possibly wholesome under normal con-
ditions, was not a fit ration in a
tropical climate.
The opinion will be expressed that it
was the cause of considerable sick
ness among the troops, and in many
cases they were compelled to go
hungry because they could not eat
the food.
The court will blame the commits
sary department for failing to have
proper inspections, and Commissary
General Eugan will be blamed for this.
AS to the refrigerated beef the court
finds that it was generally wholesome,
but would not stand any exposure in
a tropical climate. The court finds
that the refrigerated beef was not en-
balmed, although there were isolated
cases of chemical treatment which did
not seem to have been
anything more than an ex-
pertinent. being accepted neither
by the packers o by the govern
ment. The report finds that while
General Miles was in error in ASSUME
ing that any considerable part of the
refrigerated beef was chemically
treated, still on the whole, and partic-
ularly regarding the canned beef, his
charges were justified by official re-
ports.
The report intimates bad business
methods in he commissary depart
ment, with carelessness which reacted
on the troops, but without evidence of
corruption or gross neglect of duty.
So far as they have yet consulted
the court is OF the opinion that Gen
eral Miles is not liable to prosecution,
and that court-martial of officers in
the commissary department is not
justified by the evidence.
In other words, the report as far as
agreed upon finds that the canned beef
was unfit for food in a tropical eli
mate, but that this fact could only be
demonstrated by actual use and hence
the commissary department is not
liable to charges of dereliction of duty.
Not guilty, but don't do it again."

New York, April 1s.-The police
have in custody two alleged robbers of
mail pouches, said to be notorious.
The last crime charged to the mel is
the theft of a registered mail pouch
At Buffalo early this month. The men
give their names as Albert E. Bell, of
London, Canada, and Frank H. Smith,
Of Chicago.
Saturday Smith bought a pair of dia-

and his companion were arrested. In

and drafts to the amount of $4,000

for the sailors they never thought OF

expressed the greatest surprise ut the

Many of them were heard to make re.
marks to the effect that the battle OF
Manila bay was fought SO long age
that they had almost forgotten it, but
that it seemed the American people
remembered it still.
When the Raleigh and her escort
reached the southern end of Riverside

Off General Grants tomb the cruiser
slowed down preparatory to turning,
and while the cheering and whistle
blowing and other noises were at their
height two 6-pounders on the Raleigh
commenced their salute of twcnty-one
guns.
The last shot had hardly died away
when the Alvarado and Sandoval
opened with their national salute, aud
a battery on shore joined in the trib-
ute to General Grant. When the sa-
lutes were concluded the Raleigh
turned slowly and headed down the
river. The trip back to the head OF
Thirty-fourth street was made slowly
and the same enthusiasm was dis
played as on the run up the river.
When the Raleigh finally anchored

feet of excursion boats and as fast as
they could reach her gangway the peo-
pie aboard them climbed on the cruiser
and extended personal welcome to the
officers and men. The warship was un-
comfortably crowded, but everybody
received q cordial reception and the
crew evidently took pride in showing
larly in pointing out the 5-inch gun on
the starboard side of the poop deck
that fired the first shot in the battle
of Manila bay. Many relatives and
personal friends of the officers and
men went aboard as soon as they could
reach the side of the vessel, and the
DAYS celebration concluded with these
general and individual receptions.

HUNDRED SOLDIERS UNDER ARREST
Recruits at San Francisco Destroy
a Saloon.

San Francisco, April 1s.-About LOG
United States soldiers are under ar
rest on the Preside reservation. They
are encamped on the open and are
guarded by cavalry and the Twenty
fourth infantry regiments, colored
the force being in charge of Adjutant
Lieutenant Harris.
The offense of the men was the burn
ing down of q saloon just outside the
reservation lines, in which Private
Charles l.. King, Company g, Twenty.
third infantry, was 10 brutally beaten
that he is not expected to live.
Private Park, of Company +, also of
the Twenty-third regiment, is in the
guard house charged with the assault,
but the soldiers assert that the saloon
people are responsible, and claim that
the proprietor, AL Rheifeld, was the
chief assailant of the injured man.
The trouble began Saturday night,
when several recruits went to the sa-
loon, which is known as the Preside
Club cafe. There were several women
in the place, anG a row started over
one of them. in which nearly all the
men present participated. When com
parative order had been restored it wa
seen that Private King had been seri
ously injured about the head, his skull
supposed TO be fractured and his face
badly battered. He was taken to the
Presidio reservation and his supposed
assailant, Private Clark, was placed il
the guard house.
Early yesterday morning someone
