A ttlIflCrtht Indication of Ihe attitude - titude of the military ann towara Porto Rico ii signified by the wa members of the - _ _ _ S _ _ _ , Ltata urge the movement. The eammand- lug general of the army is Ect talking for puhllcaUon but it is understo3J that the members of his taft who declare unreservedly - servodly In favor of taking Porto Rico without - out delay reflect hlz views on that subject. The announcement that trnerai Miles may 1cae Washington in a Jay or two on a tour of lnapectlon of the army tramp , In the south is regarded as cooflrmator of the understanding that ( hero La to be no in- Yaslon of Cuba at once. It ba been taken for 13T ted that Gceral dtIea will go to Cuba with the army. If the Invasion La to 'r be put off and Porto Itico taken instead. Ms present tour of inspection Is easily cx- - plalned. The strongest nrgurnent used in - fa'ror of an attack on Porte Rico is that It Is the easiest thing the army cnn do just at. present , and in fact about the only thin ; It can do. The decision wai reachd long ago that not less than preferably S. . 75,000 men. will be needed for th' lint army sent to Cuba. Not more than men are in shape now for a fore1 campaign. These are the regulars and the equip-1 - olunteerz at Tampa. The rest of the volunteer - unteer atin Is untrained anI unequipped. and it may be accepted unce for all that it is not gotng to be sent to Cuba until It Is equipped and to some extent luatructeti in and inured to the practices of war. With the 5.OOO men already at Tampa it Is urged Porto Itico could be talcn and subdutd. while the rest of the army is being put In . shape at Chickamauga and other camps. w When all has been made ready for the move on Cuba all the regulars could he withdrawn - drawn from Porto Rico and used to lead the army against flianco. The fact that while gh-thg needed training to the regulirs hern- selves , and delivering them from the debit- ' itating Inaction atTampa. this move would strike a deadly blow at Spain In a vital part of its colonial structure and rob the reserve Spanish fleet of its only base of suppIIe on this side of the Atianttc. are urged as reasons In its favor. are believed to be determining the powers that be In its faror. Trii ILCIII ) 10 ) Iiisr. There does not seem to be anything to prerent the success of the plan , since the troops and the trnnsport.s are alt at Tampa , and all , according to reports received here , are ready to move on short notice. The fact that Cenoral Shalter has been author- ied to send a portion of his command at Tampa to Jacksonvilie. so as to make them xnoro comfortable In camp , is taken here to indicate that there is no intention to send theta to Cuba at once. If General Shatter knew his wholc ioree would be called on to go to Cuba next week It is urged that he would not go to the trouble of having them break camp tnd move over to Jack.onrIlIe. The plan. ns It Is construed here , Is for General Shatter to send the least araltabte at his volunteers to Jacksonville. while bold- log the reulars and the pick of the new troops to the number of 1SOCO or 20.000 ready for the eapeditlon to Porto Rico. Private letters received here say all the Indications at Tampa point to n early departure - parture of the military force z.uqssed at that point. with much uncertainty as to whither the expedition Is bound. Th' z - pect.ation hero will be disappointed If Porto Rico is not Its destination. Assuming the correctness of the report that the Spanish fleet is shut up in Santiago. it is concluded there would be no dimculty in MlmIral ' .5 Sampson supplying enough ships to con- vol the transports to Porto Rico without weakening the blockade off Havana and tearing reserves to attend to the Cadlz squadron. should it appear suddenly In these waters.

JURY SOON REACHES AN AGREEMENT Jo1rrnl Reunion of fh Family In Ihie Court htoom .Vhien that 'cr- diet Ii Annonnccil by the Clerk. Joseph and Louis Ksstner , father and son , accused of the murder of Offlcer Dan Tiede- man anti the wounding of Oerr At Clover itt 2elson's saloon. Thirtieth and Spaulding streets , on the early morning of June . l.97. are free men , the jury having returned a verdict of not guilty. Some time miuring the night of June 8 , 1S97 , burglars broke Into the saloon at Thir- Urth and Spanidlog streets. The patrol wagon was sent to the scene , and on the way out stopped to take in Omeer Clover , who 'was on the orth Twenty.fourth street beat. The omcers reached the place about 3 o'clock on the morning of June 9. Driver Osborne was left in charge of the wagon and the two offleers , Tiedeman and Clover. commenced an investigation. At this jute- ture the men in the saloon-three in number -Jumped through a window and fled. As they ran they fired at the omeers. all of their shots apparently taking effect , as Tiedeman received wounds from the effect of which he died during the next day. Clover was shot in the face , the hip and the leg , and while he has recovered and is at work , he is anything but a well man , his wounds still causing him much pain. The morning following the shooting a num- bee of oflicers were put upoa the case , and during the day the three } taatners , Joseph , the father , and August and Louis , his eons , who resided a few blocks from the saloon. were arrested. They 'were lodged in jail and then the police commenced a hunt for other parties. 'who , according to their theory , might have had some connection with the commission of the crime. For several days this line of work was pursued , and then the entire attention of the pollee force was con- centrntcd in an effort to secure evidence against the Kastners. Younger One Convicted. In due course of time the Kasthers were given a preliminary hearing in the police court and were held without bonds to appear - pear before the district court. At the Sep- tetnber term they were called and demande'.l separate trials. The younger Knstner , Au- gust. was placed upon trial and after a hard fought battle that consumed the greater part of a month he was found guilty of murder , the jury recommending life Im- prisonment. This sentence was imposed and the young man is now in the penitentiary. The case against Joseph and Louis Kast- ner was called before Judge Slabaugh on May 10 and submitted yesterday. All of the evidence was of a circumstantial nature , though the county attorney and his assistant considered It stronger than that adduced on the trial of August Kasther. The only defense of the defendants was an alibi , they and all of the members of the family swear- log that they were in their home during all of the night of the commission of the crime. The jury that had the case under ronald- oration reached a conclusion shortly after I o'clock yesterday morning and retired. At 7 o'clok this morning Judge Slabaugh was notified that the jury had agreed. and on reaching the court houme a few moments after S o'clock be found the jurors in their seats awaiting his coming. The prisoners were ordered up from the county jail and the clerk was sent for. On his arrival he was handed the verdict , which he read. During the reading both of the Kastners seemed deeply interested , and as be pronounced - nounced the words , "not guilty. " their tea- tures lighted up and an expression of satisfaction - faction overspread their features. Joyful i'nmily Reunion. The aged mother. 'who had been in attendance - ance upon the trial , grasped her husband about the neck and gave him a strong hug , Imprinting a kiss upon'hts lips. Then turn- leg to her son , she bugged him and wept in his arms. Miss Kasther , a young woman , the daughter and sister. showed more emo tion than any of the others. She cried and at the same time hugged her father and brother and showered kisses on them. After the completion of the reunion in the court room the lltTJe family group proceeded to the jail , where the men visited the cell which they bad occupied for almost a year and gathered up their clothes and persoi.al belongings , after hicb they left for their home. Just bow the jury stood Is not. known , and probably will not be , as all of the menibers of the panel said that they entered into an agreement not to give out anythin ; connected - nected with their deliberations. They refused - fused to state bow many ballots were iaku or how the vote stood on any of the ballots. EXPOSITION OFFICIALS WIN Judge Scott UiboIiI the Contract for hinuIIns , Gmomiii S'ItiiIn time C ro U ii IN. Judge Scott has passed upon the case of I3erkins and Gordon , who sought an injunction - tion to restrain the Merchants' Express corn- rany from interfering wIth them in the hsul. inc of exhibits to the buildings on the erno- sitlon grounds. In thecase before the court the plaintiffs contended that the exposition asso.iatien had been Instrumental in building up a monopoly by awarding the hauling contract to the Merchants' Express company , After listen' lug to tebUmony for three days , Judge Scott found that the defendant had a contract with the exposition and bad given a bond ( or the faithful performance of the condtions of the contract. He further held that all goods shipped to the axpositlon association and switched within the grounds could be irons- ( erred to the spaces within the buildings by the defendant and not by any other per- son. Regarding goods and exhibits consigned to the owners the court held that if they were received at the local depots any and all drayxnen could haul them to the buildings on the ground. , providing wagons that conform - form to the rules adopted by the exposition association were used , but in the event of such goods and exhibits being consigned to the exposition then the managers bad authority - thority to select their own carriers for the purpose of placing the praperty upon the spaces in the buildings. By the terms of the decision the Mar- clants' Express company secures all of the exhibits shipped into the grenada In cars , all of the exhibits consigned to the exposition and such other business as it can get by rustling , The court suggested , and to fact ordered , that the defendant remove from its 'wagons the signs , "official carriers for the exposition.
