but there are other ways In hlvh coming

- _ _ _ 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on Cuba all the regulars could he withdrawn -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

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.
One suggestion made to account for Ad-
mimi SampsOn's last appearance in the
aetghborhood of the Old Bahama channel Is
that be is ncuaIntIng himself with the
route about to be taken by the ships that

not necessarily to San Juan. for it is more
: han guessed that the landing In Porto Rico
will be at some point where Infantry and

elng given to the I'orto Rico occupation by
the military authorities that It is assumed

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. "
