MR.. SHEPHERDS ARREST.

AS stated 10 the Gazette OF yesterday
Joseph H. Shepherd, for Is years g
clerk 10 the Office OF the audi.
tor Of public accounts In Rich.
mond is under arrest at the Second
Police Station, charged with EN-.
bezzlipg $50 from the state OF Vir-
gioia. 1t is not known what is the total
sum of the embellishments with which
be is charged, but the fact that Auditor
Msrye objected to his being bailed in
the sum oil 81 900 leaves the suspicion
that the individual charge Is only one
of other charges OF defalcations for lar
ger amounts.
Mr.. Shepherd lie 60 years old. He
has fine record as brave soldier In
the Confederate army and was promi-
nently connected with the Confederate
Veteran organizations. He was quite
prominent politically in his native
county, Clarke, which he had visited to
work for his favorite candidate for the
constitutional convention, Mr.. A.
Moore.
Mr.. Shepherd talked freely when ar
rested and declared that while he had,
no doubt. made some mistakes, he knew
nothing of this particular case and that
he has never done anything wrong
while In the auditors Office.
The auditor made the following state
ment: 1.-THE offense charged Is that

out warrants 10 favor of certain officers

vices rendered the common wealth,
made out warrant In favor
OF an officer for $50, which was not due
him, and certified under his signature
that he had mailed the warrant to him,
but instead OF mailing 1t to the officer
said Shepherd drew the money out of
the State depository, which he was en-
abled to do by adding the words "or
bearer" after the name of the officer 10
the warrant after 1t was signed by the
auditor"
About Is years ago the chief clerk OF
this Office defaulted for large sum ex.
tending back over many years and the
affair was sensation and great fnan-
,ial scandal at the time.

points OF the Great Wall. which Is the
boundary Of Shanghai province. 1t Is
unofficislly stated that there will be no
further advance and that there will be
no fighting.
Field Msrshsl Won Waldersee has
made application that the gate OF the
Forbidden City be guarded by German
troops after the departure of the Ame.i-
cans. Gen. Chaffee has replied that
American soldiers will continue to
guard the gate. At this the Germans
are indignant, saying this impugns their
honesty, and that If the United States
desires to do her share of policing the
city, she should leave behind enough
troops for that purpose; that merely q
few men belonging to the legation
guards should control the gate, which
will be within German quarters, can
not be allowed. II Gen. Chsffee per-
sists 10 this course, diplomatic repre-.
sentation will be made In the matter.

THE ACTION Of the City Council last
night has laid in state the hopes recent
IL entertained by some that King and
the cross streets were to be converted,

1t is argued that the Areopag!tes OF old
laid aside their brains and left Mars
Hill to witness the games and entered
with spirit into all scenes attending the
olympiads, and the fact that the Solons
of the Market House building refused
TO unlimber 10 the tastes of those who
championed the enterprise has caused
surprise among the latter. The propo-
sition came In such questionable
shspe,n however, that Council had
nothing tangible to take hold OF. Twas
openly stated that the Association"
might not materialize and the names OF
the reputable citizsns" were kept in
the background. while the bondsman
was decidedly recslcitrant. While 1t is
admitted that street fair would draw
a crowd, no reasonable man believes
that such fair would materially ad'
vance Alexandria's interests and the
idea OF the city going to the "demni-
ton bow.wows" If the fair is not held
Ia too ridiculous to consider.

THE PROPOSITION that Cuba be gra-
ciously allowed to become one of the
States OF the American union was not
received with enthusiasm by the Cuban
commissioners, as had been dreamed by
those who are exerting their Ingenuity
to solve the perplexiug issue with which
the United States is now confronted.
The commissioners who are now 10
Washington, among other things, say :
"Ninety-nine per cent OF the Cuban
people desire absolute independence. 1t
is their wish that the military occupa-
ton by the United States should come
to an end at once. 1t may be said that
q small element of Spanlards, from a
purely commercial motive-not over
0,0O0-would favor annexation, but
the wish for independence Is felt gener-
ally by many Cubans and Spaniards
alike. Those Spaniards who favor an
nexation are not impelled by any love
Tor the Uniteu states Dup dutrUu uV'
wards Cubsns who want independence.
Peace with the Americans without the
independence OF Cuba is impossible
that is moral peace. In the event that
independence is not granted war or
revolution will not follow, but there
will be no sympathy, no friendliness,
between the people,"
That this country, which had coveted
the Queen of the Antilles since 1t broke
away from George III, ever had the re-
hottest idea OF relipquishing its grasp
upon the island has been apparent all
along, and the diplomatic game now In
progress will continue until the Cubans,
tired of hope long deferred, will 10 the
end find themselves 30 sick at heart as
to be ready to let everything 90 by de.
fault and submit to the best terms pos
sible in order to bring the matter to
close.
