They were tired and dirty and they walk- ed as if there was work in the carrying of forty-pound equipment, but they were jubilant and only the presence of the re- viewing general kept them from cheer- ing. The First Brigade left camp this morn- ing at 7 o'clock and the two commands passed close to each other, but dig not meet. However, it cost the Third Brigade some of its outposts of signal men and they are now helping out with the dots and dashes for the First Brigade. The Third Brigade has also a story of a mid- night visit and a party that passed the sentry line and reached the heart of the camp. The Third Brigade camped by battalion in a canyon on both sides of a stream. It left the camp by the main road and soon after struck off into the hills, leaving a signal telegraph station at the mouth of the canyon and trailing the wires for the station along after it. The home station had been established on a water tank in the camp and messages sent to the tele- graph station at the end of the canyon from the advancing column were sent to the home station by heliograph, flags or the night lamp.

T Woman Wants Thousands of the Late James Murphy’s Coin. Love Letters Containing Many En- dearing Expressions Are Read at the Trial. Rk gt Special Dispatch to The Call. - SAN JOSE, June 18.—The love affairs of the late capitalist, James T. Murphy, are being aired in the trial of the suit of Miss Bertha Smalley for $24,000 for services against the deceased’s estate, which began in Judge Hyland's court to-day. For a number of years Miss Smalley was Mur- phy’s companion and made her home with him at the Lamolle House in this city. The young woman always claimed that Murphy intended to marry her and had also promised to settle a large part of his estate on her. Mirphy was divorced from his first wife, Mrs. Wilhelmina Murphy, and had made a property settlement with her. By that marriage he had a daughter, now Mrs. Daniel Chapman. ‘When Murphy met Miss Smalley his rel- atives became estrangec, and when he was DR. KILMER'S SWAMP-ROOT. The Cause of Many Sudden Deaths.

Here they were again halted, but they managed to pass the sentry and en- tered the camp, where the men lay sleep- ing on the hillside. They were halted by one sentry, a cavalryman from Troop B of Sacramento, who let them pass, but when Colonel Hosmer announced himself as the division inspector and asked to see the sentry’s arms, the man refused point | blank and ordéred the party on.

MADRID, June 18.—The Diario de la Marina, a service organ, in an alarmist article sees in the Gibraltar agitation a menace by Great Britain against the - tegrity of Spain.

KANSAS CITY, June 18.—The City Na- tional Bank of New York City, eéntrolled by Jobn D. Rockefeller and the Standard Oil interests, is sald to_be negotlating for the purchase of the National Bank o Commerce and the First National Banl of Kansas City. These two concerns are the strongest in Kansas City and have combined deposits of nearly fifty millions. It is stated that the New York bank is in | % until 7. The signal detachment was short |and Signal Captain Lawrence was very anxious that more men should be detalled to go with him, but Colonel Evans, the chief signal officer, could give him no more than the detail assigned, so Captain Lawrence evolved a plan. He marched | with the column down the road to where | Lieutenant Martin of the signal detach- | ment, detailed to accompany the Third | Brigade on its practice march, had estab- lished a signal station at the mouth of | the first canyon and then leaving the | road he attacked the station and cap- tured four men, five horses and the tele- graphic outfit. The fifth horse belonged to Lieutenant Martin, who was up the line a little distance at the time of the attack. When he returned he found his station despoiled and his horses and men gone. He walked Hack to camp. ‘Will the Prisoners Work. Captain Lawrence repeated the per- formance more than once further along, and he now has a good serviceable -de- tachment under him. The questlon is, however, can he make the prisoners work. Colonel Evans warned his offi- cers against leaving stations unprotect- ed, and the capture was due to their own neglect. The First Brigade did not bring any artillery, for the guns of the naval mili- tia had not arrived, but later in the day they did come and Batterles A and D. el et e el e @ HEINZE GETS A MINE WORTH TEN MILLIONS Judge Harney Renders a De- cision in a Noted Mon- tana Case.

SAN DIEGO, June 18.—The arrest of J. E. Thomas, who claims to be a con- noisseur of paintings, followed this even- ing after an all-day search for two paintings, claimed to be genuine Van Dykes. and asserted to be worth $30,000. is an oil portrait of Van Dyke, sald to have been painted by himself, and the other a painting of | Michael Angelo. It is claimed that they | were presented by King Victor Emanuel to Delambert, a millionaire of Guate- mala, whese widow now resides here. It | was she who instituted the search this | morning, and it was she who finally swore to the complaint charging Thomas with embezzling the pictures. Mrs. Delambert says that Thomas after becoming well acquainted with the owner of the pictures borrowed them to make copies of them. When the time came to return them they were not produced. Thomas says that he sent them to New York and intends to keep them until he is paid $1000, which amornt_ he claims Mrs. Delambert owyes him. Mrs. Delam- bert denies the. debt and declares that Thomas owes her for board. Thomas is to be arralgned to-morrow morning. cond Brigade will take to the hills for a practice march. The guns of the naval militia arrived this morning, and at once the sailors went at them and polished them up un- til they shone like mirrors. Two were made ready to accompany the artillery detachment to the practice camp of the First Brigade, and the other two were brought up to division headquarters, where they were planted at the colax line. Gunner Richard Schnalle and the detail of naval militlamen will fire the morning and evening gun from the color line each day. b This morning the Second Brigade held a brigade drill on the parade ground, and this evening there was a dress parade by the Second and Third brigades. They had just come in from the drill when the Third Brigade appeared, and the call to arms was sounded. The regi- ments formed at once and stood ready. but were dismissed in- time to break ranks and line the road as the Third Brigade marched through camp. There has been a strike of the bus men and nearly all the transportation of the soldiers is done by farm wagons, pri- vate vehicles, express wagons and con- veyances hired for parties. The cause of the strike was a cut in rates made by the owners of unattached vehicles against the liverymen. The cut was from 25 cents to 15 and 10, but this was tolerated until soldiers stood around to *‘guy” the higher priced buses. Then the liverymen called a halt. They took the buses off the road and have retired from the field. The officer of the day to-day was Lieu- tenant Colonel Connolly of the First Reg- iment. To-morrow Lieutenant Colonel Forbes of the Second Infantry will be offi- cer of the day, and First Lieutenant T. H. Mixler, Company E, Sixth Infantry, and Second Lieutenant B. B. McGinnis, Company I, Sixth Infantry, will be officers of the guard. Arrangements for various festivities for officers and men are being made by the townspeople. To-morrow the officers wiil be recelved by F. A. Hihn at the Hotel Capitcla. To-day they are being enter- tained at the Country Club, the hostesses being Mrs. F. W. Bliss and Mrs. A. D. Pena. To-morrow night an affair will be arranged by the band of the First Regi- ment. The regiment itself will be away on a practice march, but the band will be home. Thursday night the band of the Seventh Regiment will give a concert in front of the St. George Hotel. ll S s ‘.~».\\\m\\\\\\:\\\\\\\\\\\\\\“\ FRANGE MAKES SEGRET COMPACT WITH GHiNA May Protect Proposed Rail- way From Tonquin ‘With Troops.
