All the news of the great naval battle thus far is coming from Spanish sources. This shows conclusively that Manila has not. yet been taken by the American forces and that the cable lines are still under'the control of Spain. Fiiom the fact ‘that even the advices received from Madrid show that the American warships fared the best, there is hardly any doubt that when complete details are obtainable it will be learned that the entire Spanish fleet was destroyed. —.. Reports of the battle thus far are coming in piecemeal. Dur- ing the two engagements that took place it is known that Commo- dore Montejo, commanding the Spanish fleet, lost three of his ships. The flagship, the steel cruiser Reina Christina, and the armored cruiser Castila were burned and the cruiser Don Juan de rs Austria was blown up. The latest report from the Admiral given out in Madrid indi- “cates that Montejo, seeing his defeat, sunk: every vessel of the Spanish fleet to prevent Dewey from a single capture. | There was heavy loss of life among the Spanish. Capt. Cardarao, commanding the Reina Christina, was killed. Commo- dere Montejo, commanding the fleet, shifted his flag from the Reina Christina to the Isla de Cuba, a much smaller steel-pro- tected cruiser, just before the Christina sunk. The blowing up of the Don Juan de Austria was attended by a great loss of life among the crew, her commander also being killed. Commodore Dewey's squadron, leaving Subig Bay, a few miles from Manila, about 4 o’clock Saturday afternoon, proceed- ed toward Manila. Under the cover of darkness he entered the ‘harbor of Manila, the batteries located there announcing his arrival. Both fleets lined up for battle about daybreak—about Hy o’clock in the morning. The guns of the American warships began firing on the fortress of Cavite and the arsenal of Manila. Under the protection of the guns of these fortifications the Spanish warships.opened fire on the American fleet. For several hours the harbor resounded with the roar of guns, the crashing of sfeel and timbers, the shrieks and groans of the wounded, the thick clouds of smoke at times almost obscuring the opposing fleets from each other.

The operators in the cable station in the midst of the forts have fled to save their lives. Shells are now bursting over the forts and city. : LONDON, May 2.—The details of the battle of Manila have been re- ceived by the British Colonial Office. They came intwo cable messages, received yesterday evening, the substance of which has been furnished to the Associated Press by the offcials of the Colonial Office to-day. The first cable dispatch announces that the fleet entered Manila harbor at daybreak yesterday, stationing itself opposite the city. A fort opened fire on the American ships, whereupon they shifted their position to one near Cavite, in Manila Bay, engaging in a fierce fight against both the forts and the Spanish fleet. The engagement here lasted two.hours and resulted in the annihila- tion of the Spanish fleet. One American vessel, the name of which is not mentioned, is said to have been disabled. MADRID, May 2. It is now admitted on all sides that the Spanish fleet at Manila has been completely destroyed. Admiral Montejo cables that he has been defeated and his ships de- molished. His flagship, the steel cruiser ReinaChristina, and the armored cruiser Castila were burned and the cruiser Don Juan de Austria blown up. It is reported that Admiral Montejo blew up the remnant of his fleet to prevent their capture by Dewey.

WASHINGTON, May 2.—The success of the naval combat at Manila will be followed up by orders from the Government to pro- ceed to Cuba, It is expected that these orders will be issued to-morrow to take effect the follow- ing day or Thursday. It is now the intention of the administra- tion to take advantage of the dismay caused by the defeat of the Spanish fleet by fol- lowing up the victories with other assaults so rapid that Spanish resistance will be un- availing. All naval officials say that the result of they expected and they are overjoyed.

[An Unusual Atmosphere of Mystery Surrounding the Present Work of the Members of the Grand Jury. An air of deep mystery hung over the east end of the third floor of the Four Courts Building Monday. In a room hedged about by locked doors and alert deputy sheriffs the grand jury was in session. The officials were all reticent and would not speak of what matters were being consid- ered. There was a contingent from the City Hall that left no doubt the famous boodle cases were still being investigated.

Mr. Burke was walking about in the Four Courts ae Monday, but he did not enter the grand jury room. Julius Wurzburger of the Street Depart- ment was a witness. He sat around the witness room for several hours before he was called to testify. He was before the jury less than half an hour. City Register Besch was also a witness. Kd Albright, who represents a stationery firm and now supplies many of the city of- fices, told the grand jury what he knew. But he would not talk for publication. aa, a.

He may know something, but he bent it all for the grand jury. Gen. James M. Lewis, Justice Spaulding and Constable Ben Brady were early wit- nesses before the grand jury. Much specu- lation was indulged in as to why they were there. Before testifying Gen. Le said he did not know why he had been sub- penaed. Afterward neither he, Spaulding nor Brady would talk. They may have been on the Palma matter, but that case is sup- posed to be closed. It was suggested that pee. or bata lay the Harrigan-Kiely etter incident ore the grand ju that is denied. - re One of the Four Courts officials in com- menting on the fact that the grand jury room is being so closely watched during the boodle ,investigation case said there was gore reason for it. He said if news should eak out that indictments were to follow, it would give the officers much trouble. Assistant Circuit Attorney Hodgdon re- fuses point blank to reply to any question regarding what the grand jury is doing. One official said, however, that the case would not be closed until every person who might know anything had been subpenaed. The envestigntion may last for several days yet.

FAST Wi SN PRICE -— Post-Dispatch Gaye All News Sunday Night. the DEWEY’S VICTORY GIVEN THE PEOPLE IN TWO EXTRAS. ‘TRIUMPH OF vpimieahabn AP- PRECIATED BY ALL ST. | LOUISANS. PAPERS SOLD BY THE MANY THOUSANDS. re ee enema en Within a Few Hours After the Great Battle the Post-Dispatch Was Distributing the News to Americans. a oe s 1 St. Louls saw the triumph of journalism Sunday night in the extras issued by th Post-Dispatch, which told the story of Com- modore Dewey's brilliant victory before Ma-’ niia. St. Loulsans knew before they retired for the night that Dewey had met the enemy and had administered to them a crushing defeat. The account of the battle, though it came from Spanish sources, was indicative of the complete success of American arms, Thousands of persons all over St. Louis, and even in the suburbs, learned first through the Post-Dispatch that the glory of the flax had been brightened by the greatest naval victory of mo@érn times. The news presented to them 12 hours later by the morning papers thus became stale and flat. Dewey ccmpleted his victory Sunday afternoon, and Sunday night the task fell to the Post-Dispatch alone of presenting to St. Louisans the news of the battle. It Was a remarkable feat of journalism. The battle off Manila constituted the great- est news item since the war began; for that matter since the civil war, It had been anx- jously expected by all Americans for days. It meant much in the progress of events. It meant Jife or death to Dewey and his brave men of the Asiatic Squadron. At 7:38 p. m. Sunday the Post-Dispatch told St. Louis that the great fight was on. In this first extra was contained the in- formation from Spanish sources and, there- fore, colored to favor Spain, that Dewey's fleet had appeared in the Bay of Manilla and that serious ffighting had occurred, the American squadron engaging the forts and vessels under Admiral Montejo. This was the first news, and it was encouraging, notwithstanding the pro-Spanish color of the dispatches, At 10:3 the second Post-Dispatch extra appeared, and it removed all suspense. It contained substantially the same informa- tion as appeared in the morning papers Monday. It made Dewey's triumph a cer- tainty. It contained an admission from Spanish authorities that victory perched on American banners. So full was the information in this second extra that the names of the Spanish ships burned and sunk were given. A dispatch from IAsbon told of the complete rout of the Spaniards. Another from Madrid told of the second engagement, precipitated when Commodore Dewey landed his wounded. So far as facts are concerned this second extra presented al] that came through the morning papers Monday. St. Louisans: had the comforting assurance before they slept that Dewey's fleet had won a glorious vic- tory and that there was no more cause for apprehension on his iaccount. he night was a nasty one, but shrieking newsboys paid no heed to the rain, as they sped through the streets calling people out of their hvuuses by their cries of victory. In every direction they went, scattering the giad tidings. The most conservative could not withstand the temptation to possess extras. It was a victory in newspaper making like unto Dewer'’s victory in war. “ NEWLY) ELECTED OFFICERS. - s First Regiment Nominations For- warded to the Governor.

At the Central District Station the prison- ers gave their names as William Smith, Harry Kauffe, Edna Smith and Annie Wagner. The police say the women are notorious panel workers. Acting Sergeant Crane was patrolling his beat near Ninth and Market streets at 3:30 o’clock Monday morning, when he saw two men glide swiftly by him and stealthily creep into the hallway at the house in uestion. O’Connell and Regan responded. The offi- cers knocked for admission, but received no answer. ‘They then forced entrance, The lights were extinguished as they en- tered and the occupants made a wild rush to escape, “Stand back or I'll shoot!’”” commanded Patrolman Crane, drawing his revolver. Instead of complying the quartet sprang at the officers and began raining blows right and left. The Smith woman, it is alleged, drew a Knife, and made a rush at ©’Connell. The officer dodged the weapon, and seizing the woman by the hair cuffed here severely. Fighting then became general, chairs were overturned, mirrors smashed and other fur- niture dismembered in the flerce melee. The combatants fought all over the room, and the prisoners only yielded after they became thoroughly exhausted. The gas was relight- ed and the four prisoners were handcuffed and taken from the place. The police learned that the premises are rented by Edna Smith and Annie Wagner. About 100 skeleton keys were found -on Kauffman and his pal. | Kauffman and Smfth have police records and are suspected of numerous recent rob- ber.es committed throughout the city, while the women are suspected of complicity in them. They are all in the holdover at the Four Courts pending investigation. Capt. O’Malley says the capture is an im- portant one, and may lead to the arrest of others. | PROHIBITION DELEGATES.

When the windstorm came up the men were taking life easSy.-Then Capt. Rumbold gave the order to stick to the tents, and they stuck. The very first gust took the mess tent. A dozen men at once rushed there and lying down in the mud and rain held on to the flapping canvas, Others helped the cook to get out from under the wreck. The dishes were scattered far and wide. Camp chairs and cooking utensils filled the air and several mén were elightly injured by the flying debris, The officers’ tents were blown down and it was all the men could do to prevent them from blowing into the deep quarry on. the opposite side of Grand avenue. he rain meanwhile was coming down in torrents, but the boys stuck to their posts manfully.

Matthew McDonald, a laborer living at the Broadway House, was struck on the leg by ‘a flying piece of timber in front of the Hargadine-McKittrick building going up on Washington avenue, near renth Street, McDonald's leg was broken above the knee, and he was sent to the City Hos- pital. Private Harry Niemeyer of Battery A, was slightiy injured by a falling sign, while on his way to the battery camp. Niemeyer bears the distinctioh of being the first St. Louis soldier to be hurt while on duty, since the Spanish war begaa@. While in the aggregate the blow was a costly one, most of the individual losses were small. The greatest loss reported by one person was $4000, Probably the severest work of the storm was the effect it had on the minds of most of the people. The blow began about 3 o'clock, and with- in a few minutes thereafter it was raging in a manner strongly remindful of the pre- lude to the destructive tornado of May 27, two years ago. A remarkable feature of the atmospher- ical disturbance was the great drop in tem- perature preceding it, At 2 o’clock it was hot and sultry. The thermometer registered 83 degrees, The mer- cury then turned and went down with great rapidity, reaching 59 degrees when the storm began, at 3 o’clock. It ranged from that point fo 63 degrees during the rest of tne gay. Whilé no panic occtirred where people were gathéred, the excitement at many places of amusement and recreation bor- dered on the dangers of human stampedes, There were at least 25,000 persons in Forest Park, on pleasure bent, when the skys darkened and the wind began to whistle. four-fifths of the people were soaked by the rain. The funeral cortege following the remains of Aaron H. Rider, 4528 McMillan avenue, to Mount Zion Cemetery, was disrupted by the storm while in Euclid avenue just south of Lindell boulevard.

In the harbor of Manila yesterday Commodore Dewey took terrible vengeance on the Spaniards for the destruction of the Maine, and added glorious laurels to the honors of the Ameri- Navy. Late advices indicate the utter defeat, probably the annihila- tion, of the Spanish squadron. The vessels not destroyed by the guns of the American ships appear to have been- sunk by the Spanish Admiral to prevent their falling into the hands of the enemy. On account of Spanish control of the cable, news with re- gurd to the details of the battle and the condition of the American squadron is unsatisfactory, but indicates that its effectiveness was not seriously impaired. The harbor is effec- tively blockaded and there is good reason to expect the reduc- tion of the forts and the early capitulation of Manila. Commodore Dewey's achievement does not stop with the gaining of honors. It is probable that his splendid victory whl have a decisive effect on the war. It renders Spain help- less in the Pacific and places her Pacific possessions prac- tically in the hands of the United States. She is confronted with the alternative of yielding to American demands in Cuba or forfeiting everything she possesses in the Pacific. But if Spain's course is dictated by the folly which has ruled her councils, Dewey's victory will serve as the introduc- tion to @ campaign which will end as decisively and glori- @usly in the Atlantic. Cuba is now at our mercy and there ig every reason to expect as decisive an outcome to any con- Giet of the American with the Spanish Navy in Western waters should Spain permit her vessels to meet the Atlantic ‘pquadron. _ Available detalls indicate great gallantry and skill in the of the American ships. Americans have every reason to pajoiee over the victory and to be proud of the officers and men who rendered so good an account of themselves. With our rejoicing there are tears for the dead, but they died in a righteous cause. They died that the shackles may be struck ‘from-the hands of Spain’s bondsmen in Cuba, that justice ' ¢* . * * _ and liberty may triumph and American honor be vindicated. Ali honor to the officers and men of our Pacific squadron. > & ~~ wa |S The efrcuiation record for St. Louis was broken again yes- terdey by Sunday's Post-Dispatch. Exclusive of the sale of the extras containing the news of the naval fight at Manila, the circulation of the Sunday Post-Dispatch reached the un- og ote figure of 132,696 copies. This Sunday circula- beats all records, including the highwater mark hitherto attained by the Sunday Post-Dispatch. = = = i FREE PUBLIC BATHS. - St. Louls ner4s free public baths and the Post-Dispatch is ready to aid in securing them as soon as any practicable plan ip set on foot. But neither of the schemes now being considered appears te be without serious drawbacks. The old waterworks set- Uing basin might be of great service as a swimming pool to Some of the inhabitants of that section of the city, but it would be of no use in those districts most in need of bathing facilities. The proposition to use the school basements for bathing pools will certainly be strongly opposed on sanitary ~-— + - a Cheap bathing pools could easily be constructed tn the parks and on the river front. And as soon as possible the city should efect one or more free baths in special buildings and so built gnd finished as to be a credit to St. Louis, = Dewey's gallant tars remembered the Maine. = = = i AMERICAN MANHOOD. The civilized nations of the world have a better idea of manhood than they had yesterday. They also have more respect for it.” They now realize as they never did before that it will not do te tamper with the spirit of American citi- Sense when they are in a fighting mood. When the land troops are given an opportunity to act this impression will be further accentuated. As was the case dur- ing the civil war, some of the best fighting material will come out of the Middle West. Some of the very best will be fur- nished by given ‘an especially good showing. The soldiers of Belleville, lL, the first volunteer company to leave this section, were pre- sented in the order in which they marched to the depot. The Naval Reserves of Alton were also prominently featured. No important war subject of interest to men and women in the Mississippi Valley was left untouched. Add to this all the telegraphic news of the world, all the daily news of a great city and the most artistic and interesting Sunday Magazine published in the West, and you have some idea of the value of the Sunday Post-Dispatch. If you missed that you missed the best. > i a 4 » Yesterday had news triumphs for the leadisig newspaper of the Mississipp! Valley. The Sunday st al published, in addition to a vast amount of information about the Philip- pine Islands and the situation there, the only advices received in this country concerning the actual situation in the harbor and the movements of Admiral Dewey’s fleet previous to the battle. In the evening the Post-Dispatch issued an extra containing the only news published in St. Louis of the fight in Manila harbor. This was followed by a second extra con- taining the news of Commodore Dewey’s victory and all the important facts—practically all the facts that were published by the Monday morning papers. This morning's extra sup- plemented this news with subsequent developments, giving the public the first, the best and the most accurate reports of the engagement at Manila. For the first news and the inost reliable news the people look to the Post-Dispatch. = =] rw THE PRESIDENT’S IRRESOLUTION. The invasion of Cuba, which was determined upon and an- nounced last week, is reported to have been postponed. The President has changed his mind. First he proposed to land food under cover of the guns of battleships and feed the reconcentrados. Then he decided to send a strong force along, not only to prevent the supplies falling into the hands of the Spaniards, but to carry on warlike operations against the enemy. Now he returns to his souphouse policy and do- nothing strategy. The unpleasant feature in this business {is the woeful lack of firmness in the White House. Administration organs tell us that the President is “very much impressed” with this argiiment and gives out orders accordingly. Then he is very riuch impregsed with another argument and reverses him- self. He is influenced by every one who talks with him. He seems to be a very impressionable man. Americans want to see the war ended as quickly as possible. Whether this can be effected by an invasion in force at the present time is a question for the Strategists and officials in responsible positions to determine, but the President’s con- fessed indecision is not reassuring. The country is in a bad way if its chief magistrate and commander-in-chief of the army and navy cannot stick to one resolution for two hours together. é, = = = "SS —_ If an Assemblyman has the right, as Assemblyman Will- more declares, to accept presents, he should at least wait until the holidays to receive them when they are given him in recognition of his vote for the scheme of a private cor- poration and against the interests of the city. ‘= = i i a a The advancement that has been made in surgery will great- ly mnitigate the horrors of war, as shown in the Sunday Post- Dispatch. Evil as well as good serves to develop the mind ofman. We may be as gods indeed before the world is done revolving. - !S = - S - No other news association has the newsgathering facilities of the Associated Press. Its fleld is the great globe itself. The only afternoon papcr in St. Louis that can publish the tele- graphic reports of the Associated Press is the Post-Dispatch. It looks as if the Pneumatic Tube Co. will have to adopt the plan of the manufacturer who wanted a switch, and who at first did not know what our municipal statesmen wanted. hp LL i a Europe cannot do better than to let Uncle Samuel entirely alone. He will do what is right in all cases, and there will be no sufferers from the war but Spain and himself. w= oo The United States are not only remembering the Maine but they will keep in mind any European power showing un- friendliness toward us during the war. ———— The audacity of Paul Jones was repeated in the capture of the big Panama by the little Mangrove.

And, O, O, Polo! Just sing it so low As not to waken the seamen of the Maine. Speed the soldier! speed the sailor! Haste the battle’s nolse! Sharp the conflict! short the conflict] William, rush the boys! Maria Christina is not Queen of ‘the May this year. The Spaniard is a great roarer, but a poor marksman. Many people have built castles in Spain, but French capitalists have real investments there. With a new White House flagstaff made in St. Louis, perhaps Messrs. McKinley and Long will push things a little more. It was Maine-lla while Dewey's guns were turned on the Spanish warships, The readiness with which the Spaniards turn defeat into victory On paper may be highly commendable, but it will not rebuild shat- tered fleets. The brilliant record of Baitery A of St. Louis will be made stil] orighter should its members have sufficient opportunity in the Spanish war. Mr. Parker of Illinois, who has never worn a’ hat, is more patriotic than Mr. Dingley, who indulges himself with one not made in the United States. How many of the Woman’s Noonday Club, whose establishment was illustrated in the Sunday Post-Dispatch, would rather cook for a husband than to take their dinner down town? The late sleeper’s opinion that there is malaria in the early morning air is confirmed by a medical opinion in the Sunday Post-Dispatch. There will now be no getting him out of bed at all. Mr. McCarthy. whom all dogs follow, drawn by some strange law of affinity, might be of great service by leading the surplus canine population out of the city and leaving it where it would have to stay. The tars of Alton may bring more fame to their city than tf the greatest battleship bore its name. Given opportunity they will certainly do their country excellent service. All Illinols should have read of them in yesterday's Sunday Post-Dispatch. The girleott of all French goods by American women would in- deed be a blow to France, but one which she will richly deferve if she continues to uphold the Spanish butchers... The purchasing power of the American woman is enormous, as many heads of families can testify. POST-DISPATCH CIRCULATION.

From a spirit of perversity, Johnny declared that his sympathies were with the Spanish. . Jimmy, much shocked, loudly pro- claimed his allegiance to the Stars and stripes. The rival- ry grew warmer, and many hot words were exchanged. Finally Johnny, in a burst of treason, spit upon the small United States flag which Jimmy carried, Instantly Jimmie’s loud voice lowered to almost a whisper. He became pale and calm, ty ha ys. Johnny oy the cout lapel, he _ said, sternly: “Come, boy, we will now have a fight.’’ Johnny is no coward, but he was a little awed by Jimmy’s manner.

ALL FLATS ALIKE.—Out on Kennerly avenue there is whole block of flats exactly alike, and not an inch of space betweeg them. In one of these flats lives a temperance evangelist. In another lives a workingman who is given to “rushing the can.” One evening since the passing of winter and front doors were open everywhere, the workingman sent a strange boy after @ pitcher of beer and a loaf of rye breaa. The boy returned with the foaming lager and sat the pitcher on the front steps. No one was there to receive it and the boy called out: bread.”’ A stentorian voice out, ‘‘What’s that?’ Meanwhile the workingman wondered what had become of his beer.

This is the 24th renewal of the blue ribbon event of the Western turf. As in bygone days it is an Interstate contest. There are some Ken- tuckians, it is true, who are faithful to Lieber Karl. There may be a Tennesseean or two who fancies Plaudit. But it is a duel between Kentucky and Tennessee, none the less, with the chances of Arkansas appearing as a factor, and candidates from Louisville, Lexington and Harrodsburg to stir and maybe to gratify Kentucky pride. It looks as though a field of fivé or six would face the flag on Wednesday, but one thing is certain, the fleld will be picked from these cight, and every one of the lot may start: T. H.

The publication in the Post-Dispatch the other day in relation tothe doing away with the recall flag has set all hands and the cook jn turf circles wild, and now nothing is talked of by them but the proposed inno- vation. There have been many replies to the argument advanced by Dr. A. CC. Ber- nays why the recall flag should be done away with but so far he appears to have away the best of the controversy. As a matter of fact Dr. Bernays’ argu- ment is unanswerable, he hitting: the nail right on the head and scoring a hundred points to the opposition’s one. There is no valid reason on earth why the starter using the starting gate should use a recall flag, while a hundred reasons can be advanced why he should not use one, The &t. Louis bookmaking colony, headed by Louis A, Cella, returned from Memphis y esterd ay. They had a pleasant time at the Memphis and L ‘ttle Rock tracks, where Cella and his partners had the booking privileges, but they made no money at either meeting. The only play came from the horsemen and the posted ones, and quite naturally the books got the worst of it. BLACK, b. c¢., Sam Hildreth says he will race his string of horses here this year. Among them are Judge Denny, who won the Thornton four- mile stake at Oakland recently. Louis Ezell of Chicago, who used to race horses at old South Side and at East 8t. Louis, has grown to be a pretty shrewd horseman. Ezell never pays freight on race horses. He has strings permanently located at San Francisco and Louisville. The horses he has been racing at San Francisco this winter he will put on a farm near there and give them a summer's rest. The horses at Louisville, who have recently been resting near there, he will now take up and race there. His best ones at Louisville are Morte Fonse and Pepner. Ezell is just now visit- ing friends in St. Louls. FIELD DAY AT PHILADELPHIA. Two Intercollegiate Records Smashed and Some T'ast Races.

DISAPPEARED LAST FRIDAY. His Aged Wife and O*hers Have Asked the Police to Make Diligent Search for the Man. Louis Edward O'Fla- is wan- Somewhere in St. herty, a partially blind of] man, dering, lost in a great city. Mr. O'Flaherty disappeared from his home, at 1434 North Twelfth street, Friday and his aged wife and daughter, Mrs. Hickey, have searched high and low for him without success. They are grievously worried and alarmed, fearing something may have happened to the old gentleman. Mr. O'Flaherty is a stonemason by trade, He has passed the threescore and ten mile- About five years ago, while he was chipping a block of stone, a fragment struck his eye, destroying the sight. The injury in some manner afflicted his brain and he has not been able to work since. Frequently, too, he has had spells of aber- ration, during which he wandered away from home. our timeg this has happened in the past year, but each time, except the last, the old man was found within 24 hours. The danger of his getting lost caused his old wife and daughter to watch him closely. Friday morning their vigilance was suspended a few minutes and Mr. O’Flaherty seized the opportunity to take a walk. The old people live in the rear at the number given, with Mrs. Hickey and her husband. The old man found his way through the hallway to the street, and when Mrs. Hickey rushed out in search of him he had-disappeared. Search was made in the neighborhood Friday, in the hope that he might still be near home. But it was fruitless. Saturday the police were notified, without effect. The description of the missing man fur- nished by the family is as follows: Seventy years old; gray beard, knitted jacket, blue cap, cheviot shirt; height about 65 feet nine inches. A neighbor said the old\ man did not run away intentionaliy, but only walked away, thinking to return. e does not seem to be conscious of his infirmity,’’ said she, “and thinks always that he can find his way back again. When he gets a block away his blindness and his feeble mind cause confusion and he is lost. He is independent, and would not ask for anything to eat. It is feared that he will become faint and drop on the street.”’ Mrs. O’Flaherty was alone, her daughter having gone out to search for her father. The old lady was much worfied by ‘her husband's disappearance, but she tried to appear brave. “O, I guess he will turn up all right soon,’’: she said, attempting to smile. ‘He has wandered awa y before and we always found im.

Manager Gunipests wienly reserved one of the best bill€ of the ‘Béazon fof the last week of the imperial Theater, Judging from the attendance fhe theater-going public is not feady for the house te close. The house was crowded for both the afternoon and night performances. “Little Em'ly,” adapted from Dicken#” “David Copperfield” was the bill, and it was most capably pre- sented. Miss Florence Modena had the title role and she was given the best opportunity of her engagement to show her good quali- ties. She made the best of her opportunity and still further ingratiated herself with the Imperial’# patrotis. ‘There was a world of pathos in the Danlel Peggotty of Law- rence Hanley. Miss Dorothy Rossmore’s Rose Dortle was all that could be desired. Edmund D. Lyons, William Redmond, Beaumont Smith, Mra, Dickinson and Miss Nellette Reed were cast for good parts and Next Monday night Lawrence Hanley will be given a testimonial benefit. Hamlet will be the biil with Mr. Hanley In the title role. ——~o°o-— Upon ‘The French Maid,” who made her first local bow upon the stage of the Cen- tury last evening, three commendatory re- marks may be passed. First, it is musically and lyrically brilliant In a frothy and airy way; second, it is presented by artists, and, third, “the merry, merry chorus,” always an indispensable adjunct to a s#uc- cessful Rice production, is as rare an ag- gregation of good looking, young and shapely girls as one could find fn a week's search of all the booking offices in New York City. The principal comedian, Mr. Bigelow, has never been more amusing in ali his work upon the comic opera stage. Henry Nor- man, Henri Leoni, George Honey and Wil- liam Afmstrong, all seasoned comedians of widely different methods, share equaily in contributions to the general excellence cf the performance, Lazette, the Freneh maid, is delightfully played by Miss Olive Red- path. Miss Eva Davenport, as a stout and somewhat flirtatious British matron, is one of the best characters in the piece. Miss Yolando Wallace hae little to do besides looking handsome, which she does quite easily. —_—o— —— — The Columbia programme this week pre- sents an excelient variety of entertainment. Among the new acts this week are Mr. and Mrs. Augustin Neuville in a travesty upon “The Lady of Lyons; Sankey Brothers, acrobats and contortionists; McCale and Daniels, Irish comedians; La Petite Lund and John J. Burke, assisted by Grace Forest, in an amusing sketch called “Tricks of the Trade.’’ The bilograph has a number of new views, including New York's crack 7th Regiment passing in review; Capt. Sigsbee at the Army and Navy Building at Washington, the launching of the battle- ship Kentucky and children on sleds coast- ing down a hill in Quebec. Rudinoff ts re- tained as a feature and his clever act was received with prolonged applause yesterday. This is the last week of the Hungarian Boys’ Band at the Columbia. —o—— Hennequin’s popular comedy, ‘The Three Hats,’ is well staged and played at Hop- kins’ Grand Opera House this week. Ralph Stuart, Earle Stirling and Thomas Keogh are responsible for most of the fun-making. The vaudeville programme is strong in ev- ery feature. The Bussell Brothers are seen in their original servant gir! act, which does not seem to grow old. Jimmie Russell danags gracefully and his twisting falls continue to be as funny as they were when he first began convulsing audiences. Smith and Cook, the tramp millionaires, are also old friends who show no signs of proving tiresome. One of the most enjoyable num- bers on the bill is the sketch presented by Sam and Kittie Morton and their daughter, Carrie. It is the young lady’s first St. Louis performance. ——0-— e There is music, dancing and fun at Hav- lin’s, where '‘MeFee Matrimonial Bureau” has opened to a rushing business. It is the kind of an entertainment that suits warm weather and will make this a merry week around Manager Garen’s playhouse. Barney Ferguson and Sam J. Ryan are the stars. Miss Cushman makes a splendid Jemima Primrose and the Grierson Sisters and Mrs. Jean Cunningham do clever specialties. (ao Fay Foster's Extravaganza Company made a big hit at the Standard with twe large Sunday audiences. West and Wil- lilams, Stanley iting, Nellie Daly, the Carmontelle Sisters and the Conture Broth- ers are prominent among the entertainers. The performance concludes with @ one-act farce entitled “Fun on a Yacht.” —-q-— The date of Lawrence Hanley’s conipli- mentary benefit at the Imperial has been changed from — to Monday, May 9%.

T., a town of 1500 per- sons, just over the Oklahoma line, and lo- cated on the Rork Island Railroad, was gtruck by a terrible windstorm, which nearly wiped the whole town out of exis- tence. The news was brought here this evening by a gentieman who was in Dun- can at the time, and he says that every house in the town was either blown down or badly wrecked. Oniy one death is re- ported, and that was a little child of Her- man Jones, which was killed outright, and 20 or more people are hurt. Several persons are missing, and it is thought they are buried in the debris. John Manning and wife were hit by a flying tim- ber and both, it is reported, will die. Large brick and stone buildings? were dashed to the ground and stacks of general merchandise scattered for many miles. More horror was added to the destruction when the heaps of wooden buildings took fire. Many persons were pinned under the heaps, and their cries for help were heart- rending. Word was sent to neighboring towns for assistance to rescue the people, and all day yesterday and to-day people have been res- cuing those under the buiidings. The tele- graph wires are flat, and communication with Duncan is hard to get. The informant Bays several people are known to be ab- tent. and it is thought they will be found under heaps of brick and stone. The approach of the funnel-shaped cloud Was made known by the ringing of bells and pistol shots, and hundreds of people escaped to caves and other places of safety. Had it not been for this many more would have met death. The first discovery of the approaching dis- aster was made by the lonely night watch, while patrolling the streets, but the tor- nado swooped down upon the little town before a general alarm could be given.

He Has Just Returned From Mexico to Find That His Carefully Planned System Has Developed Into Adoption andgNotoriety. Since the Central Traction Railroad fran- chise bill is to go down in St. Louis history as the most colossal grab ever “jJammed”’ through the Municipal Assembly, a word as to the real author of the echeme will not be amiss, though he is not at all connected now with “the dream of his life,’’ as he terms it. Like the originator of many another gl- gantic enterprise or valuable invention, he lives to see others grow rich on his ideas, while he struggles with poverty and is shut out from even a nominal share in the emolu- ments which the designing schemers hope to reap trom the genius of his conception. In justice to the author it should be said that he does not covet the notoriety which attaches to the men who have sand- bagged” the city through its pliant legis- lators. He never intended that the city should be robbed through the plans he spent months in developing, nor did he think it would be deemed such a precious prize as to cause men to barter honor and official in- tegrity for it. On the contrary, he regarded the product of his engineering skill as a benetit to the efty, and hoped at least to be given credit for conceiving a@ great plan for rapid cross-town transit. This man is George ‘Carreras. He lives at 613 South Fourth street, a cheap lodging house. Slender and small of stature, though he is 40 years old, his clean-shayen, youth- ful face would readily pass him for half of that age. Born and reared in St. Louis, his acquaintance is extensive and varying fortune has brought him in contact with the leaders in business and public enterprises. From an office boy in a commission house he grew to a partnership in a grain firm, and became a well Known member on the floor of the Merchants’ Exchange before he was 3 years old. Reverses in business over- took him, but his energies were undaunted and he determined to rise again if poss:ble. After repeated disappointments he went to Edward Martin, who was a director in the Citizens’ Street Railroad, and whom he had known well on ’Change, and asked him to help ‘him get a positédon of some kind. Mr. Martin told him he knew of nothing unless he would accept a ha as conductor on his railroad, and added: “You are too bright a fellow to pull a bell cord long, and something better will soon follow from it.” Then Mr. Martin told the young member on ’Change to go to Julius WalsaA, »:esident of the Citizens’ Railway, -tell him who sent him and that he wanted to go to work. Mr. Walsh looked at the dapper young man, dressed in the height of fasrion, doubrful of his frank appeal to be allowed to earn $2 a day, and told him if he really knew Mr. Martin he would bring a letter of introduc- tion. This he did, and the next day he was put on as a conductor. This was in 1887, and he remained with the rgad five vears. He left it to enter the em- ploy of the Standard Oil Co. in Mexico. scing of ‘Mexican descént, and having rel- atives living in that country, he had often been there, and spoke the Spanish language well. He did not remain there long and returned to St. Louis. The story of how Carreras worked out the Plans of a North and South railroad and how he appealed to the presidents of the various street railways to put his plans into execution is an interesting one. A Post-Dispatch reporter found him at his lodging house, and when aesked to tell the story, he said: “Since the North and South scheme, or the Central Traction franchise, which is the same thing, has assumed such notorious and odious proportions I would prefer not to have my name mentioned in connection with it. I never dream that years ago, when, after 12 or 14 houPs collecting fares and jerking the bell cord on my car over the Citizens’ line, I sat down and worked for several hours more over what I thought would be a boon to St. Louis, out of it would grow the worst scandal of bribery and corruption that has ever disgraced the city. “The history that the scheme has made need surprise no one, for the man or men who will steal the results of honest labor will bribe or do anything else to accom- The original plans of this road were worked out by me and were stolen from me, then changed in immate- rial points so as to clumsily disguise the arceny. “Knowing every foot of St. Louis terri- tory as I do, I had not been long a con- ductor on an east and west line before I realized the necessity for a cross-town sys- tem. I began to study over the matter. with maps of the city before me, and a caren recognition of the third paralled aw. “I knew that such a system would have to be authorized by the Municipal Assem- bly, but it never once crossed my mind that it would take a dollar to get the franchise; in fact it never ‘had occurred to me that any corporation would spend money for such a franchise further than what it had to pay the city, and much less had I ever thought of a member of our Assembly de- manding pay for what I at least intended should be a public benefit. “When I was in the grain business I be- came acquainted with Judge John E. Me- Keighan, who was then the attorney of the Missour| Ratlroad, and also of the Suburb- an. After I had worked out my plans on a map, at the suggestion of a friend I took them to Judge McKeighan and asked him if he thought he could interest either of his clients in the project. After studying the map he said it was an excellent scheme and he made an engagement for me to meet PrP. ¢. (Maffitt, president of the Missouri tallroad. Mr. Maffitt and I went over the Plans and he pronounced it the best and most gigantic plan he had ever seen for a St. Louis railroad, but said he had his hands so full of business he could not un- dertake it. “Then I went to Charles WH. Turner. President of the Suburban. He was so much interested in the sch e that after considering a few deys he hkd me accom- pany him and his engineer, Winthrop Bartlett, in a carriage ride over the route, driving form Bissell’'s Point to Wyoming Street. He told me that as soon as he could disentangle Kis road from the finan- clal embarrassments it was then tn, he be. Neved he could interest Fastern capital tn the profect, and wanted to know how much interest I would demand tn the en- terprise. I told him as I had told Mr. Maffitt. and afterwards told al) the other railroad men, I was simply seeking ‘to make a-position for myself and that it was my ambition to be the Superinten- HE CARRIED HIS MAPS FROM) stand the grand jury is investigating.

It would take too much money to get it through the Assembly, even if the money could be had to build such a road.’ “Then I went to Edwards Whitaker of the Lindell system, and he put me off, as Mr. Green had. I abandoned all hope of the enterprise for a time and kept on collecting fares. One day, months afterwards, I met Lawyer Thomas B. Harlan, who had an office in the Commercial Building, and told him of my project. |He said it was not only a big thing, but he was in touch with Eastern capital, which he thought he could interest in the scheme. “TIT had several conferences with him, and he finally told me he would like te have a map of the proposed lines to lay before his capitalist clients. I made two maps. I have never seen them since, but I was told they were stolen. Anyhow I learned that those maps found their way East. Mr. Harlan finally informed me he could do nothing with so large an undertaking. Soon after that I went to Mexico for the oil company. “The next I heard of the plans I had evolved was under the guise of what was to become famous as the Sweeney bills. They were literally mine, with a few minor changes. I know Sweeney casually, but never had any dealings with him. I don’t believe Sweeney ever nad much money to spend and that was why he had such poor success.

Mrs. Appeibe knew that the children had sent the letter, but she had not seen it. It was shown her. She began to read it aloud, but her voice broke before she finished and the tears came into her eyes. ‘Poor little things,’’ she said, as she ‘They want so much to hear some news of their faiher.

This did not bother him, however, until later years. He married [n Chicago, where he held a good position as a salesman. Not long after thefr mavriage he vegan to suffer pains in his head, and at times his mind would wander. “He had been a perfectly sober man up to this ‘time,’ sald Mrs. Appelbe. “But the pains in his head annoyed him so much that he sought relief in drink. After that we knew no more peace or joy. We had accumulated some property and hed moved to St. Louis. We owned a little home on Dickson street. We lost everything grad- ually, and he grew worse and worse. He was seldom rational, but was never violent, and he loved his children, especially Grace, the oldest, most devotedly. “He had always been passionately fond of the army and he concluded that he would go to the Soldiers’ Home at Marion, Mo. Prior to this, however, the Post- Dispatch had saved him from the insane asy.um. He had disappeared. One day we saw fin the Post-Dispatch that he was in the Insane ward at the City Hospital.

The Pall Mall Gazette says: ‘The earlier Spanish stories left no shadow of doubt that the Spanish fleet had been, to put it roundly, smashed, and the later informa- tion this mornfng places it even beyond possihility of a Spanish denial.” The newspapers all discuss the ultimate fate of the Ph lippine Islands as a question in which the European Powers are vitally interested. and they agree in saying that another element of discord has been in- troduced in the “Far Eastern scramble.” DEATH.
