tention to the neglect In the now military
( blli to provide for the National Guard and the

In which ho said th-it the overwhelming aen l.
mont was that the National Guard and the
volunteer forces were the mainstay of the
government and that all of the Hull bill had
been killed except that part authorizing the

LINCOLN LOCAL NOTES.
War has broken out among the bakers ol
Lincoln , and as a consequence they are ac
cusing each other of selling short weight
loaves. Four arrests have been made foi
this offense. The five and costs In each case
have amounted to S8. Over a year ago the
bakers put down the price of bread , and then
when the price of flour wont up , to save them
selves from financial loss , they reduced the
size of the loaves. The present war among
J them will doubtless bring the weight ol
loaves up to the required standard and at
the eamo time raise the price.
D. K. Klrkland was arrested today on com.
plaint of John B. Gentry , charging him with
the embezzlement of two presses and other
printing material. Klrkland pleaded not guilty
and waa bound over In the sum ol
> $300 , F. D. Eager , publisher of the local
populist organ , going on the bond as surety.
When the present flro chief. Charles Weld
man , was appointed a year ago a member ol
the Insurance companies opened up a flghl
against him , 'hoping ' to have Bob Malone. the
eld chief , reinstated. Since the dlsastrou *
flre which occurred last week the flght hai
been renewed , the charge being made thai
the flro department did not do good work one
the companies threaten to double the rate *
for insurance within the city unless Malon <
Is again put at the head of the department
In the meintlme Malone hag been elected t <
the city council and It is the general oplnlot
that under the present city charter ho Is thus
disqualified from holding an appointive pcsl.

XO Il'USlI TO GET OUT OP HAVANA.

NclrrH of the Opportunity.
NEW YORK. April 8. A special dispatch
from Havana to the Commercial Advertiser
"The exodus ot Americans
to-day saya : expected
cans and others has not yet occurred except
on a small scale. When the Bache and the
Mangrove arrived on Tuesday , following the
official notice from the SUto department that
they had been rent to take away Americans
who had decided to go , it was 'believed that
many would leave Immediately. The Bache
and Fern are hero atlll. The Mangrove waste
to have left Wednesday , but only twelve
persona applied for passage , and General
Leo thought It unnecessary to eend the ves
sel out then. It left last night , with fifty
persons. On Wednesday word wme that all
quarantine restrictions were removed and
that the Mascotte and the Olivette would
make extra trlpa to take people away and
that the Yucatan from Now York to Mexico
via Havana would alro go to Key West for
the same purpose , but only ninety-six people
left on the Mascotto on the regular trip.
Wednesday It returned from Key West and
took away seventy-three more. Yesterday
the Yucatan arrived , alx days from New
York. It stopped at Palm Beach over night
to ( wcert'iln If It was pafe to come here , and
left for Mexico direct without going to Key
West. The Olivette has been waiting at
Tampa. It will arrive here on Saturday at
the special request of General Lee. A list
of passengers has been prepared for the
Bache and Fern. General Leo and news
paper men expect to go to Key West on the
Fern. They may leave on Saturday , but
that program Is subject to cnange.
The alarm of the people , which was very
pronounced three days ago , subsided when
It became known that the president's
message was not to be sent this week , aod
the unofficial news that the queen had taken
matters out of the ministry's hands and
would accede to the demands of the United
States also allayed the feeling. People who
had arranged to leave decided , with the
usual Spanish proclivity for procrastination ,
to wait , and they believe here that present
Indications polat to an Immediate settlement.
If they are mistaken In this there may be
no boats to take them In case of sudden
excitement next week. The United States
government has given them every oppor
tunity to escape it they deslro to go , but
does not propose to urge them to get out.

LINCOLN , April 8. ( Special Telegram. )
'ho supreme court has reversed the judgment
f the district court In the William 11. Snoop
: aso and entered an order of dlsml&sal. The
iplnton Is by Judge Sullivan , with a dls-
ontlng opinion by Judge Norval. This Is
he syllabus of the opinion of the court :
"By section 169 of chapter 12 A of the
Compiled statutes of 1897 the power to ap-
KJlnt and remove officers and members ot
he fire and police departments In cltlts ot
ht > metropolitan class Is vested In the Flr&
md Police commissioners of such cities.
" 2. No member of the Hrc and police do-
xirtmcnts In any such city can bo discharged
'or political reasons. "
" 3. Removals deemed necessary for the
proper management , discipline or mor
) ffectlvo service of cither the flro or pollci
Icpartmcnts must be made pursuant to sjch
ules and regulations as may bo adopted by
: he Board of Fire and Police Commissioners
tor that purpcse.
"i. Before an officer or member of either
the police or fire department can be dis
charged for alleged misconduct , unfltnefs of
luty or other cause affecting hie character
3r standing as a public servant , charges
nust be filed against htm and ho must bo
afforded an opportunity to be heard In his
lefcnse.
" . But the right of an officer of the
t > oHe force or a member of the-fire de
partment to defend formal charges , within
the meaning of the law , Is a right to vindi
cate himself from an unjutt accusation ; not
ii right to show that the public welfare re
quires his attention to the public service or
that the revenues at the disposal of the
board are adequate for the payment of his
salary.
" 6. The membership of either of tile police
or fire department may bo reduced by the
oard on tlicse grounds , and In such case men
may be dismissed from the service without
i hearing and without an opportunity being
given them to show cause against the order
jf ( Us in I tec I.
" 7. Tbo transcript brought to this court
should contain cnly so much of the record
of the district court as Is essential to a
correct understanding of the case.
Judge Norval , In his dissenting opinion ,
iiolds that the action of the respondents
In attempting to remove the relaters
! rom their offices was unauthorized and
illegal. It the discharge was on economic
? rounds the permanent relieving them ot
Jfficcs was unwarranted. Relaters could
lave only suspended them from the positions
until such time as the funds at the dis
posal of the board would be sufficient to
meet the expenses of the department wlth-
Jut a reduction of the force. Judge Norval ,
However , holds that It does not appear that
these discharges were made on economic
jrounds.
Last night Messrs. Bullard , Gregory , Herd-
man and Pcabody met at the rooms of the
commission and spent some hours in an In
formal discussion of the situation. They
went over the whole ground , but took no
ictlon. At all events at the close of the
jonferenco Mr. Gregory gave out the Information
mation that no resolution had boon adopted ,
the commissioners , he said , would wait until
l certified copy of the decision and mandate
lad been received before taking any formal
ictlon.
W. II. Sheep was ecen. Like the commis
sioners he and his attorney arc waiting for
l certified copy of the decision before going
Into their plans for the next movo. Sheep
Intimates that ho has In reserve something
: hat will make , v. change In the commission

PORT MONROE , Va..April 8. Commo-
lore Schley paid a formal visit to Fort Mon-
oe during the day , and was saluted with
eleven guns , which the Brooklyn answered
with another eleven. After leaving the fort
the commodore went aboard the Texas to
y tola compliments to Captain Phllllpa ,
ivho calloj on him yesterday.
Captain Sands of the Columbia took oc-
: aslcu to deny this afternoon the story that
io had put his master-at-arms under arrest
tor betraying secrets connected with the
workings of the ship. He said that the
nan , whose name for abvlous reasons la sup
pressed , had been transferred to the receiv
ing ship Franklin for transfer probably to
some other point. The man had not been
iccused of any crime and was uot In Irons ,
the story of the man .being a Spanish spy
was also discredited by Commodore Schley.
While these denials arc mode and while it
Is true that the man -was not directly ac
cused or put In Irons It la perfectly plain
that the government Is taking unusual pre-
lautlons to guard against any information be
ing given'out.
Fort Monroe , where Improvements are go
ing on , Is closely guarded , and visitors are
not welcomed on the big ship. It Is a
significant fact that the man .who was trans
ferred today from the Columbia to the re
ceiving ship was a Spaniard by birth , al
though an American citizen for sixteen years ,
and it la believed that the fact of foreign
birth led to the precaution.
Several cadets .were transferred from the
Brooklyn today to ahlps In other squadrons.
Tomorrow will occur the wedding of Lieu
tenant William L. Miller of the cruiser
Montgomery and Miss Elizabeth McCall ,
daughter of Commander McCall of the
Marblehead. Prospective war hastens the

Most Distinguished Member Missouri Bench Highly Values
PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND
Judge Wofford Is one of the ablest criminal
lawyers In the state of Missouri. He lias
been en the bench In Jackson county , ot
which Kansas City Is the eeat , for the past
six'years. .
Judge Wofford Is one of the leading demo
crats of the southwce't. There Is no better or
, more widely known man In that section of
thecountry. .
The careful balancing of right and wrong
and the dispensing ot even-handed Justice
brings with It a judicial , discriminating habit
of mind that no profession cultivates like
the law.
Judge Wofford Is not one of those persons
who are afraid to see things with their

NEW YORK. April 8. If Commander
Booth-Tucker ot the Salvation Army sends
nurses to Cuba they will not affiliate with
the Red Crow society nor be offered the
nrotectlon of Ite flag. The sending of a
corps of nurses to the country will probably
be a feature of General ! Booth's visit to this
city.

Stephen E. Barton ot the Central Cuban
relief committee said this afternoon :
If the Salvation Army sends nurses to
Cuba I have no Idea 'now they would pro
ceed or where they would go. If they were
to ask to go as Red Cross nurses we would
not grant their request , as wo have all the
force we desire. They are not recognized
by ( governments or by the army.
Since the present crisis we have received
letters from several 'nundrcd nurses In all
parts of the country , offering1 their services.
They are all enrolled by the New York Red
Cross society and will be subject to an ex
amination for .efficiency.
There are 500 tons of supplies for Cuba
awaiting shipment In this city , and the
committee expects to have 1,000 tons more
ready In the ten next days.
UD to date , 1,502 tons have been shipped
to Havana , 150 tons to Santiago , forty-four
tons to Celnfuegcs , 159 tons to Sagua la

its statement yesterday has done good in
Madrid and will do good throughout Spain ,

The general la working from a sense of

upon the evident fact that the sober sense
of Spain 'Is slowly coming to ttio front , and

nibllc sentiment that will sustain the Span-

at once the things that are necessary for
peace. "
