Y., June 12.—The fol- lowing dispatch, which explains itself, was sent to St. Louis this evening: _Hon. Joseph H. Manley, Republican National Committee, St. Louis: One hundred thousand voters of New York State. having signed a pe- tition to the Republican Natlonal Committee uasking for the nomination of William McKin- ot President, & committee of 500 has been ted to take this petition to St. Louis by special train, and a sub-committee of fifty to Ppresent the petition to the convention. As ch man of the McKinley State League organization committee T requested you to furnish these fifty members of the sub-com- mittee with tickets for admission to the con- vention. The dispatch being a personal one I was surprised to find that you have given it in & garbled form to the press, and still more sur- prised that you should characterizeit as an im- pertinence. I supposed recent events had dis- pelled the notion at one time entertained by the members of the Presidential trust that they could not be approached by the sverage citizen through the ordinary channels, Please pardon this impertinence and give yourself no trouble about the tickets. They have been ished. JOHN F. MILHOLLAND, Chairman of Committee on Organization. e HEADED FOR ST. LOUIS. Departure of Delegates From Three States in Speclals. NEW YORK, N.

Spraker Reed Wants the Presi- dential Nomination or Nothing. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 12.—Aside 1z a call at the White House take formal farewell of President nd upon the close of Congress, and at the residence of Representative Iilinois, who has been ill for some me, Speaker Reed remained at the Shore- in constant telegraphic communica- with friends and managers at St. He haa no further comments to e respecting Mr. Manley’s celebrated ement of Wednesday evening. It was learned tnat Manley’s statement of last night was prepared in response to Mr. Reed’s telegram of inquiry sent yes- rday as to the meaning and cause of his iginal statement which caused such a sensation. Friends of the Speakerin St. Louis wired him that they believed Mr. Manley had become panic stricken at the demonstration made by the partisans of McKinley at the first meeting of the Na- tional Committee and Mr. Manley’s re- gret over this action satisfied them that “he did not mean it.” The assertion made by Manley and Mur- ray Orane, the latter of Massachusetts, at St. Louis that the Speaker would not®nder any conditions accept the nomination for Vice-President was reiterated by his friends in Washington, so that there need be no misunderstanding on that point. The action of the National Committee in throwing out Reed delezates, especially those fromLouisiana, was commented on with much bitterness by his friends as un- necessary if McKinley had a majority in the convention, and indefensible in any They were advised that the Texas McKinley men claiming to be dele- < would ‘probably meet the fate of th-ir Louisiana colleagnes. Sp r Reed will not go home until after the convention adjourns, but he may go to New York on a business trip, which has been pressing for some days. e FREE SILVER DEMANDED. Governor Evans Says South Caro- lina Is for Tiliman. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 12.—“Bixteen to one or bust,” was the answer Governor John Gary Evans of Soutn Carolina gave to-day at the Waldorf Hotel to the ques- t whether his State would continue to advocate free silver or not.. The Governor is here on business for his State. In the course of a conversation with a reporter he said, in substance: South Carolina is for Senator Tillman for President, and we hope to see him nominated. He is a strong man, and on him at all. The free silver Democrats will more, it will be elected. All the Southern Democratic candidate to elect him. Be- Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Illi- nois. I have calculated that we shall win, and have fifty-four electoral votes to spare. 1t is now a question of the East—the gold section—against all the rest of the Unitea States. The Democrats in the Eastand the Republicans really stand together for gold, and there is no difference between them. We do not expect to get the Demo- cratic votes in the East.” In regard to the prosperity of his State he said that it had increased wonderfully in factories, and the busy hum of cotton- mills is heard everywhere.

Huntington said to-day that the state- mert that he had sold his railroad inter- ests in Guatemala to a Dutch syndicate was incorrect.

Sus- picions of political purposes have, how- ever, done great injury to the association. Qur business motives and business methods have impressed themselves on the business men, and it is now pretty generaily understood that the association ifx'e?’selninlly and wholly a business at- air. Mr. Search reported that the commit- tee had sent acommittee of manufactur- ers to Mexico and Robert P.

CEPERO TO BE TRIED. Pessimistic Review of the Situation by a Spanish Newspaper. CONSUL-GENERAL LEE'S WORK The Consulates at Matanzas, Carde- nas, Sagua and Cienfuegos to Be Visited. HAVANA, Cusa, June 12. — Advices have been received from Cienfuegos to the effect that the trial of Jose Loreto Cepero, an American, who was arrested under the belief that he was a revel, will take place soon. His case is understood to be one of mistaken identity. Consul-General Lee will next week visit the consulates at Matanzas, Cardenas, Sagua .and Cienfuegos. 1t is also stated that he will visit Captain-General Weyler to-morrow in connection with the case of Thomas Dawley, the corresponpent of Harper's Weekly, who was arrested some time ago on the charge of having been 1n communication with the rebels. By, P SPAIN CANNOT SUCCEED. Sensation Caused in Havana by That Statement in a Home Paper. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 12.—A Herald special from Washington says: State De- partment officials are slow to believe the | report that Captain-General Weyler has any intention of preventing Consul-Gen- eral Lee from visiting American prisoners in Cuba. Any action by the captain-gen- eral having this in view would call forth a strong protest to the Spanish Government. The right of representatives of this Gov- ernment to visit Americans in prison has never been questioned, and the adminis- tration would not vermit infringement of it, especially in Cubs. The frequent capture of Americans and their imprisonment there especially re- quire the service of Consul officers and the necessity of the latter talking with their | countrymen. The authorities say thatif any Amer- icans are in confinement in Morro Castle or any other place held by the Spanish troops Consul-General Lee has the right to visit them, and Spain will not be permitted to controvert it. A sensation has been caused in Havana by an editorial in the Diario del Com- mercia, the leading paper of Barcelona. | The subject of the editorial is Senor Sagasta’s statement that the war is an- nually costing Spain 500,000,000 pesetas and 15,000 soldiers, but that the conflict may end in two yvears. The paper says that the war will never terminate except with the loss of Cuba, and that both Spain and Cuba will be ruined AFTER THE SHIP-OWNERS. British Merchants Object to Cast-Iron Eills of Latting. LONDON, Exg., June 12.—The fourth and final sitting of the third congress of Chambers of Congress of the empire was held in Grocers’ Hall to-day. The congress adopted by a unanimous vote resolutions proposed by the Sydney and Melbourne Chambers of Commerce requesting the London chamber to arrage a conference with ship-owners with a view of eliminat- ting certain clauses from the bills of lading, which are virtually contracts. These clauses secure ship-owners from all liability. In the event of failure to obtain such conference or failing to secure the relief sought through the medium of a conference the resolutions provide chat the various chambers shall introduce bills in their respective parlia- ments designed to abolish such clauses from biils of lading. The congress also adopted a resolution proposed by the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, condemning the sound signals 1n case of fog, which were proposed by tne Washington conference, and urging the Government of Great Britain to enceavor to secure the consent of the foreign powers to the withdrawal of the proposed new sound signals. Resolutions pronosed by the Newcastle Chamber were adopted, favoring the aboli- tion of the levying of light dues upon shippiug. Delegate Arnoldi of Toronto raised a question of privileze and spoke in support of Mr. Cockshott’s amendment to Sir John Lubbock's resolution submitted yesterday, favoring arbitration whenever the awaras were enforceable, and his criticism of the United States regarding the action in Bering Sea and Alabama matters and the contention that arbitration was useless unless the awards were enforced. Mr. Arnoldi quoted the statement made by the First Lord of the Treasury in the House of Commons on February 17, 1891, that a large sum of the Alabama claim award was still undistributed, but that it was the policy of Great Britain not to ask for the return of any part of it, Mr. Ar- noldi’s remarks were received with cheers, Mr. Daly, delegate from the Winnepeg Chamber of Commerce, moved a resolution asking that the Government use every means to encourage immigration to the colonies. He advocated, however, a selec- tion of emigrants from the better classes, Sir Donaid A. Smith suggested that the next congress of the Chambers of Com- merce of the Empire be held in Canada, B s DR. JAMESONS DEFENSE., His Counasei Says the Case is Without the Court’s Jurisdiction. LONDON, Ex6., June 12.—The trial of Dr. Jameson ana his fellow officers was re- sumed in the Bow-street Police Court this morning. The prosecution closed its case. Sir Edward Clarke, counsel for Jameson, intimated that he would submit that the court had no jurisdiction under the for- eign enlistment act, Which the defendants | were accused of having violated. ol e BARATIEKRI IS NOT GNILTY. The Court-Martial Finds He Did Not Violate the Code. MASSOWAH, ABYSSINIA, June 12.—The court-martial trying General Baratieri to- day found him not guilty of the charges preferred against him. General Baratieri was commander of the Italian forces em- ployed in the campaign against the Abys- sinians and was in personal command of the army when in March last the Abys- sinians inflicted a crushing defeat on the invaders. He was tried before a court- martial for crimes cominy under the pro: Penal Code; namely, of hayving on March 1 attacked the Abyssinians from inexcusa- ble motives and under circunistances ren- dering defeat inevitable; also of having abandoned the chief command of the troops trom half K:\st 12 on March 1 until 9 o’clock on March 3, thereby failing to give the orders required for lessening the consequences of the defeat. SR T BRITISH NILE EXPEDITION, Object of the Advance Explained by the Government. LONDON, Exc., June 12.—In the House of Lords this afternoon Lord Rosebery asked if the Premier would explain the extent and object of the British Egyptian expedition up the valley of the Nile into the Soudan. Lora Salisbury replied that for a long time the Government had been aware that sooner or later an expedition 1nto the Sou- dan would be necessary for the purpose of recovering the territory which Egypt had lost. Suddenly they were confronted with the fact that the dervishes were menacing Kassala. The expedition was the decided upon. 5 The present objective point of the expedi- tion, he said, is Dongola and its com- mander—General Sir Herbert Kitchener— has been given a perfectly free hand until he shall reach and occupy that place. The occupation of Dongola alone, he added, is an advantage, and furthermore it is on the road to Khartoum. ——— AUSTRIA’S REPRESENTATIVE, There Will Bs an Embassador Instead of @ Minister in Washington. VIENNA, AvusTRIA, June 12.—The Aus- trian reoresentative in Washington will henceforth be Embassador instead of Min- ister. Dr. Hengelmuller von Hengervar, Austrian Minister at Washington, is now here. He had an audience with Emperor Francis Joseph and also with Count Golu- chowski, Minister of Foreign Affaixs, and urged the desirability of creating six ad- ditional Austrian consulates in the United States. e Barrero to Be Punished. MADRID, Sparx, June 12.—The Govern- ment has decided to criminally prosecute General Barrero, who recently wrote an insulting letter to Captain-General Mar- tinez Campos, which resulted in the sena- ing of a challenge by the latter, Barrero having refused to retract the letter. FATAL FIRE IN PITTSBURG. The Explosion of a Barrel of Uil Causes Three Deaths. PITTSBURG, Pa., June 12.—Early this morning a barrel of oil in the basemeut of the bakery owned by Kubuegundo Ga- rische on Spring Garden avenue, near Al- leghany street, exploded. Several people were sleeping in the building and before they could escape the structure was in flames. Mrs. Garische, aged 74 years, leaped from a window 2nd was killed in- stantly. The firemen found Mr. Garische unconscious. A grandchild was found dead in a crib and another child will probably die. Mrs. Garische Jr. and two other occupants of the house escaped. No one seems to be abie to explain the cause of the explosion. Garische was a quiet sort of a man and apparentiy had no enemies who would be likely to take re- venge on him in so fiendish a manner. The fire spread very rapidly. The firemen were heroic in their efforts to save life. They could have carried out Mrs. Garische safely if she had waited just a few minutes longer. She became panic stricken, how- ever, and jumped from the window. Mr. Garische was overcome by the smoke and at last accounts it is not believed that he will recover. AR Decline of the Gold Reserve. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., June 12.—The gradual decline of the gold reserve of the treasury, which under the last bond issue reached its.maximum figure of $128,000,000 on April 13, has now fallen to $104,238,754.

He Talks on the Courthouse Plaza, and Hundreds Shout for “Our Steve ” LOS ANGELES, CAL., June 12.—Desnite the intense heat a great throng of Loz Angeles citizens gathered at the Santa Fe depot this afternoon to welcome Senator Stephen M. White to his home. A great banner swung from the sides of ti.e car containing the reception committee, which met the incoming train at Claremont, on which was painted in bright colors, **Wel- come to Our Steve.”” The line of march from the depot to the courthouse was thronged by great crowds, which rent the air time and time again with zealous yells. A band headed the procession. ‘When the marchers arrived at the north- east corner of the courthouse-yard ex- Mayor Henry T. Hazard stepped forward and introduced Senator White. He said that Senator White had made a r2cord while at Washington of which California had every reason to feel proud. Senator ‘White made an elocquent speech. He was frequently interrupted by cheers. He said he had done all he could to represent his people in the United States Senate. He hoped that in the future his acts would be such as to merit such an ovation as he to- day received upon his return. The meet- ing closed with three cheers for “Our Steve.” AL ROBBED BY A BIGAMIST. Black® Loses Her Fortune and Her Rusband. LOS ANGELES, Car, June 12.—Rebecca Black, a widow who formerly resided in San Luis Obispo, is beginning to under- stand what it means to “marry in baste and repent at leisure.” After a few short moons of acquaintanceship she was wooed and won by an actor named or aliased 8. B. Black. At the time of her marriage she possessed considerable property in San Luis Obispo, left by her first husband. Black induced her to mortgage this prop- erty and give him the proceeds.” This m oney he has squandered. The woman learned a few days ago that Black had another wife living in this city. S he demanded an expianation of him, and he informed her that it was all a mistake. 8 he did not take kindly to his explanation and sought ont M rs. Black No.1. That lady intormed her that notwithstanding Black’s denial, she was married to him eight years ago 1n Chicago, and she pre- sented a little boy about seyen years of age as pro of of their union. ‘Another stormy interview with Black Rebecca followed. He yesterday proposed that they t;ke a trip East, leaving the first wife behind. They were to have left last night, and she gave him $120 to expend on the trip. He not only got all her cash, but succeeded in getting her diamonds. reparations were made for the journey and her trunks were sent to the Santa Fe depot last evening. Claiming that he had some business to transactdowntown, Black told her that he would meet her at the depot. She was there on time, but Black failed to put in an appearance. She pro- ceeded to investigate and learned that Black had taken the Southern Pacific over- visions of articles 74 and 88 of the Military | land for the East. | house and asked for something to eat. DUNHAM 1S SAFE O MEXICAN SOIL, The Campbells Fueitive Crosses the Southern Boundary. BAFFLES HIS PURSUERS. He Begs for Food at Mammoth Tank, on the Colorado Desert. IDENTIFIED f‘BOH PICTURES. Positive Statement of a Man Who Fed and Clothed a Hunted Stranger. MAMMOTH TANK, CaL, June 12.— Murderer Dunham is now across the Mex- ican border, secure from pursuit. He was seen in this oasis of the desert over a week ago and has had plenty of time to make his way to the boundary and across. The person who saw Dunham 1s a Southern Pacific employe, well known to Southern California railroad men. He is opposed to what he considers unpleasant notoriety in connection with the case and would con- sent to give to THE CALL a complete account of his encounter with the Camo- bells butcher only on a pledge that his name should not be used in connection with the story. However, he is ready to give the authorities all the informatior in his possession. “Several days ago,” said he, ‘I received a CALL containing a likeness of Dunham. I recozrized it at once as that of a man who stopped at Mammoth Tank on the night of June 3. It is a gift I have that when I once see a face I never forget it, as I have proved on two occasions since coming to California—meeting persons I had known as boys and recognizing them at once, although I had not met them for thirty years. They did not remember me until I brought certain things to their recollection. This is why I am so positive about this man, if this is a true picture of him. “The stranger came to the side of my I could not see him, as it was a dark might, and I told him to go around to the front door, which he did, and stepped inside. He tried to hide his face, and a more piti- able looking object I never saw. His clothes were all in tatters and his hat, which was a dark soft hat, was very shabby. His coat also was black and his shoes were well worn. He said that if we had anything left over from supper he would like to have something to eat, as he had not eaten anything in two or three days, and I noticed he was very weak and scarcely able to walk. around to the side door and gave him a box to sit on. I started to get him a sup- per of iried bacon, coffee and crackers. He wanted to eat the bacon raw, but I did not wish him to. I thought he must have been awfully hungry. I handed him out some crackers until I had supper ready for him. ‘‘He ate a hearty supper of bacon and eges and drank two large bowls of coffee. I gave him some crackers in a paper bag and a can of corned beef to take with him. 1 also gave him a shirt and two pairs of socks and a light spring overcoat—as it was quite cool—and offered nim a black derby I was not using, but it was too small for him. Inever saw a man moye profuse in thanks. He almost broke down. I had a good look at him, and my wife remarked that the man looked hunted, as if some one was pursuing him. She said: -He must have been up the mountains somewhere, as his clothes are all in tatters.” He was very polite, and spoke like a man of some education. My wife said: ‘There is something wrong with that man. He is no ordinar{ tramp.’ 1 said to her: ‘I think it looks like Dun- ham, who murdered a whole family’; and I went and got a paper and examined the likeness; but the Ficxure looked too hard for the man who had just left, and after talking it over awhile we dismissed the supposition. I asked him which way he was travel- ing and he said ‘Toward Los Angeles.’ I have reason to believe he was going East and went to Yuma on a freight train a few hours later. He went in that direc- | tion when he left, although he told me he was going west. “When I got THE CALL of June 4 I was at once positive that I had entertained Dunham unawares. The picture of the murderer that it contained did not at all resemble those published soon after the murder, but it was an exact likeness of the man whom my wife and I had fed and clothed. I am convinced the man was Dunbam. I had been away from home for a few days and it was only yesterday that [ saw this picture. I happened to pick up a CALL and saw the picture, and it was such a good likeness that I made up my mind to at once inform THE CALL that it might send a correspondent to get this information.” Mammoth Tank is on the Colorado Desert, about fifty miles from the Yuma reservation and that distance from the Mexican line. How Dunbam could have got this far from Campbells in Jess than'a week is a difficult problem to solve. The story here given, if its author was not mistaken, bears out the theory that Dan- ham was hastening toward the border while posses were still chasing up and down Mount Hamilton. pErE St PURSUED BX POSSES. Adventures of & Bieyclist Who Re- sembles Dunham. WOODLAND, CaL., June 12.—The resi- dents of Knig.ts Landing were thrown into a state of excitement yesterday by a report that a man on a bicycie, answering the description of Dunham, the Santa Clara murderer, had crossed the railroad bridge at an’ early hour and had proceeded in the direction of Weodland. Several persons were positive that the man was Dunham, claiming he answered the de- scriftion in every way. The Woodland officials were notified to be on the alert for wheelmen. o'clock and stopped at_the Hotel Julian, where he registered as Frank K. Hastings of Massachusetts. A CaLn correspondent called on Mr. Hastings and ascertainel that he wasa solicitor for an Eastern house and was making a tour of the State on a bicycle. “How about your answering the de- scription of Dunham?”’ queried the re- porter. “I must resembie the murderer to some extent, for since the trngedyl have been stopped foar or five times,” he replied. “Just this morning, while crossing the bridge at Knights Landing, I heard several I told him togo | 1 The stranger arrived in this city about 8 | parties remark that I was Dunham, and I supg?le.the fact has been communicated to thiscity. “My first experience,”” continued Mr. Hastings, ‘‘was while on my way from San Jose to hollisur, a couple of days after the murder.

After changing my clothes I appeared in the office of the hotel and a party of twelve men ordered me to throw up my hands. I did so, but was released in a short while, after proving my identity. Afterward I went to San Jose and on several occasions the officers called me to a halt. *“Ido hope they will capture Dunham soon, as it places a man_in a very peculiar position who has the misfortune to resem- ble the murderer, and it is not comfortable to have several armed men following you all the time.” e Pruitiess Search at San Miguel. SAN MIGUEL, CaL., June 12.—The rumor that Dunham was caught after a hard fight in the Willows this morning is without foundation. Matthews, Lyndon and posse, after being out all night, re- turned this morning and went to San Jose. Constable Dosh 1s searching in this vicinity. Jailer Charles Gardner and Pres Rives, a Gilroy constable, arrived to-day. They, with Constable Ganoung, went to see Mrs. Journey on the Flint ranch. She is the woman who was stopped by a stranger, who begged for food. They still believe they are on the right track. Columbia River Kising. PORTLAND, Og., June 12.—The Colum- bia River is spreading over its banks and is peginning to inundate farming districts on the lewlands.

There is much snow in the mountains, and very high water is expected as a result of the warm weather if it continues a few days longer.

It is not known how the defense will proceed in its attempt to prove that the proprietor of the notorious deadfall was not the arch-conspiratorin the plot to rob the Southern Pacific over- land express at Tagus on the night of March 18; that he did not plan the raid which cost the life of Dan McCall—a brave man, though a menace to society. The prosecution has de a strong case, and 1t will take convincing evidence to break the chamn of guilt it has woven around the saloonist. Deputy Sheriff Victor Reed, who, with Earl Daggett, was wounded in defending the train which McCall boarded, was the first witness called to-day, he simply identifying the rifle carried by McCall, and which, the prosecution claims, wag owned by Lovren. Deputy Sheriff D. O. Harrelson told the story of the officers’ trip to Tulare and of finding the body of Mc- Call. Hesaid: “On the Sunday before the hold-up I went out to the Tagus country abort the middle of the day. At a point north of the Mill Creek crossing of the railroad, between Tagus and Goshen, 1 found a newspaper. I was expecting to find it. 1 nad instructions that morning to follow Britt and McCall, who left Visalia about 1 o’clock in tne afternoon. This newspaper was found near two trees, and this spot was not far (seventy rods) from where McC‘all’s dead body was afterward picked up.” The witness‘rointed ont the place where | the body of McCall was found. usinga | map of that part of the railroad track be- | tween Tagus and Goshen. He alsoshowed the place w.ere the marked paper had been dropped by Britt the Sunday before the attempted robbery. Britt, the be- trayer of the outlaw’s plot, had deposited the paper at the spot selected by McCall for boarding the train. The balance of the testimony was in the nature of identification of McCall’s mask, lantern and weag‘ons and establishing the connection of Lovren with the telltale articles.
