Debt Of American War When
Another Trouble
Arises
SECURITIES TAKE SLUMP
Moroccan situation is Serious and the
BIoodthirsty General WeyIer
May be Put in
Command.

MADRID, July 22-The Moroccan
situation as outlined in dispatches ro-
ceived today threaten to involve Spain
IN financial panic resulting in ruin,
owing to the necessity of sending sixty
thousand troops to quell the disturb
ance. The country in attempting to
rid itself of the debt as a result of
the American war has partly succeeded.
Public securities have begun to slump
in the market and confidence in the
government is waning. If the situa-
ton continues to grow serious, Gen.
Weyler will be placed in command Re
ports from Melilla declare the town is
surrounded and the ammunition OF
the Spaniards is low with scarcely
enough left to stand another charge Of
the Moors. 1t is believed that If the
tribesmen succeeded in rushing the
works there will be Wholesale
slaughter ofSpaniards and be a gen
eral massacre Of all in the town. The
troops are ordered to keep their bay
onets fixed and prepared for hand
to hand fight. The fall of the town is
expected momentarily.
| BARCELONA, July 22.-The riot
ing at Madrid was followed today by
the inutiny of battalion Of soldiers
marching aboard the transport en-
route to relieve the garrison at Melilla.
When the officers tried to force the
men aboard, with drawn revolvers,
the soldiers fixed their bayonets. 9th
er troops were summoned and forced
the surrender of the mutineers.
A dozen were injured in the rioting
as the result of the Moroccan trouble
early today. Troops have been order
ed to Melilla. Their families gather
ed around and demonstrated against
the government. The police charged
with drawn swords and some cases
used revolyers. The king has can
celled all engagements and is remain
ing close In the palace awaiting de-
velopments OF the Moroccan situation.

The sheriff has admitted that he is
unable to control the situation and has
asked for troops. The governor is
reviewing the Third regiment which is
camping at Camp Dougles and the
sheriff was unable to locate him. The
rioting is continuing but there was no
further shooting 1t is understood that
the men shot were strikers, who at
tackled the men for the reason they
would not stop work.
Officials at the tannery were con-
ferring with a committee of strikers
at the time of the riot The strikers
attacked the special police and Deputy
Sheriff who was guarding the plant.
AS soon as the committee learned of
the riot, the conference was broken,
and the hope of settlement was ended.
Lewis Moorhouse. special deputy
sheriff, was struck by brick and sus-
tanned a scalp wound. Policeman Mel
son was hit on the head with coup
ling pin, and badly aurt. Both drove
their assailants off with revolvers,
Six strikers were injured, but not
seriously. The governor is awaiting
report from Gil Faulk before order
ing out the troops.
The rioting was followed by consid-
cradle minor trouble during the morn
ing. but there was no concerted out

SUTTON Death
Still A MYSTERY
Three Witnesses Declare that He
Committed Suicide Although
Their Testimony is
Conflicting
REVOLVER NOT FOUND
Most Important Witnesses viii be
the Doctors Who Were at
Hospital When OFFICER
Arrived.
[By Samuel Evans

ANNAPOLIS July 22. dtenant
Willing was cross examined<when the
inquiry on the death of Lieutenant
Sutton was resumed today. Attorney
Davis attempted to show by Willings'
testimony that Adams was infuriated
On the night when Sutton met his
death and that Adams had been fore
IDLY restrained from beating Sutton
when he was PROSTATE on the ground.
AS far as the court was able to de.
termine from the testimony, Adams
and Sutton engaged IN a fight when
the others arrived on the scene. Bev-
an stated that when he arrived Lieu
tenant Utley and Sergeant DeHart
We're on top Of Sutton When he ar
rived Willing stated that he found
Bevans, Utley and DeHart on the
prostrate form of Sutton. Despite
the differences of testimony all are
certain that they saw Sutton shoot
himself 1t is believed that the attor.
neys will have difficulty in explaining
the apparent reason for the verdict OF
ic'de. What became of Sutton's
revolver is mystery The most inn
portant witnesses except DeIIart who
is expected to be called today, are the
DOCTORS who examined Sutton when he
was brought to the hospital.
Private Kennedy attached to the ma
r'ne corps here was summoned by the
court. Kennedy's story is supposed to
bear out the theory that Sutton was
terribly beaten before being snot.
Mrs. Sutton declares a letter written
by Miss Elizabeth Stewart is proof
that her son didn't end his life. Miss
Stewart was at Carvell hall with Sut.
ton on the night of the tragedy and
IN the letter the girl declares she had
an appointment to meet Sutton seven
hours after his death when they in.
tended going to ST. Mary's Catholic
church. The mother declares this is
proof that he was in good spirits and
did not end his life. Detectives were
sent to Kittanning, Pa where Lieut..
Roelker is said to be located.
That Lieutenant Willing whose duty
as officer of the day was to quell all
disturbances at the academy, urged
Adams to continue the assault upon
Sutton was brought out at today's
cross examination. 4 told Bevan to
let them alone SO Adams could punish
his head off, repeated Willing and
expect no regret" II never heard
such stories of cruelty as have here,
about the way my son was treated by
these men" said Mrs. Sutton after
Willing left the stand. Surgeon George
Prickell testified that none of the
wounds on the face or body of Sutton
| from the blows and kicks were suffi-
cient to cause death His opinion was
! that the revolver shot in the back of
the head could have been fred by Sut-
ton as he lay PROSTATE on the ground.

WRIGHT MACHINE
rs STILL WORKING
Made Drop Of rs Feet and Landed
With the Grace Of a
Pigeon.

WASHINGTON, July GA cog
wheel attached to tn, magnetic of the
Wright aeroplane became loosened
and fell to the ground as Orville
Wright was sailing through the air Is
feet or more from the ground and at a
rate of probably more that forty-five
miles an hour.
The magnetic makes the spark
which explodes the gas in the four
cylinders thus furnishing the power.
Orville s;-w the wheel drop and with
quick fling OF his hant. struck the cord
which is attached to the throttle 1t
shut off the engine.
The wonderful Wright ma,alne
dropped ,swnward not directly but
- a constant motion. Fortunately,
- Ale was on straight course on
: e west side OF the field an. mad both
an even keel, and ..lenty of room. The
machine went toward the earth rapid.
~. When it got to s'sout 81 feet s.om
the ground there was a gaspy wobble
fore and aft, and the machine came to
a safe stop while tho crowd cheered
madly.
The damage was quickly repaired
Then the aeroplane was rolled back to
the starting point and another fight
inaugurated.
The machine dashed off faster than
it ever left the monorail on the second
start. The Wrights turned UP their
engine SO as to get 200 revolutions a
| minute more than before. The second
fight was really a speed test. Orville
broke all records for speed. From the
third to the ninth lap on the second
flight the aeroplane averaged fifty-four
miles an hour. At other times it went
| about forty-tve miles an hour At the
end of eleven minutes he came to
earth.
| Orville's extraordinarily rapid speed
means that the Wrights are practical
! ly sure of winning the $4,000 prize
from tie gov srnment. The contract
says that they will be given $25, 900 for
the maenlne and 500 for every mile
over forty an hour they make. T., to
forty-folr miles an hour.

acter of Sherman's movement, he
promptly withdrew with his accustomed
skill from Kenesaw, and marched back
to the line of works which he had prov
!dentially prepared to cover his cross
ing of the Chattahooehee.
On both sides the manuvers were
planned by master minds. who were
playing the great game of strategy with
consuInmate skill. Nothing equaled
Sherman's magnificent swing around
Johnston's left flank, except Johnston's
splendid countercheck in swinging his
entire army back without the loss of a
gun or wagon into new stronghold,
covering his vital line OF communica-
tions.
The alert pickets in front of the
Army of the Cumberland and Garrard's IS
Cavalry detected the retreat of the ene-
my during the night. and on the dawn
of July 8 began slowly feeling their
way forward toward the formidable in
trenchments which had frowned upon
them SO long. Soon they were over the
abandoned works, and Sherman with
his glass could see them rushing up and
down, examining curfously the position
which the enemy had left. Sherman
aroused his staff. and gaIloped after
the Confederates. hoping, as usual, to
be able to catch Johnston in the con-
