A TRAGEDY
AT SPOKANE
John Murphy, Alias "Virginia Slim,"
Killed by James Leecy Both Were
Intoxicated at the Time.
Spokan. Jjily 26. John Murphy,
alias "Virginia Slim," and numerous
other aliases, was shot and almost in
stantly' killed by James Leecy, on Mill
street, about 1 :30 this afternoon. Both
men were intoxicated at the time, and
the deed was the result of a drunken
row, in which they engaged. The mur
I ;;i in i ii In luil
derer was captured a few moments after
the commission of the crime, and is now
in jail.
The deed was committed on Mill
street, near Front avenue, the men
having been standing near one of the
cribs on the south side of the street for
some time and apparently engaged in a
quarrel. Few people noticed the drunk
en dispute. Suddenly there was a re
port of a shot. The larger of the two
men staggered and fell to the ground,
while the other started to run, but was
soon captnred.

Fears
Trouble is Expected When the Peo
ple Learn the True State of
Affairs in Spain.
MADRID, July 26. Fears of a Carlist uprising
so soon as the truth of Spain's utter ruin becomes
known to the people, are uppermost in the minds of
Sagasta and other members of the Cabinet. It is
understood that in view of the bitterness toward the
party in power, likely to follow the knowledge of the
tiuth, the launching of the military regime will
occur before the end of the week.
It Is Confidently Believed that Both
Commanders Are Actively En
gaged No Official Reports Re
ceived as Yet.
Washington, July 27. Department
officials have been greatly stirred up by
the receipt of the news from Dewey and
Miles telling of great activity in both
Manila and Porto Rico, and further ad
vices are being anxiously awaited.
Brief dispatches received contained
no particulars, but it is confidently be
lieved that operations against the Span
iards at the capital of the Philippines
has commenced.
While iittle is known of the condition
of affairs at Port Guanica, where Miles'
forces have landed, there is little denbt
that the reported activity refers to the
capture of the railroad ten miles from
the point of disembarkation, which
Miles set out to take on landing, and
the dispatch would indicate that some
opposition bad been encountered.
The Dixie Fires on a British Ship.
New Yobk,- July 26. A dispatch to
the Herald from Turks island says that
the British schooner Zeta, which ar
rived here today, Monday, from Jamai
ca, reports Laving seen last Friday four
teen ships of the United States expedi

upon by the .iJTxie and was allowed to
proceed after an officer from the Dixie

EUROPEAN WAR
IN THE FUTURE
Prof. Andrews Says the United States
Will Be Drawn Into It Whether
Willing or Not, and Forced to Take
Part in the Settlement of the East
ern Question.
Madison, Wis., July 6. E. Benjamin
Andrews, recently elected superintend
ent of the echools of Chicago in his ad
dress before the Monona lake assembly,
spoke on the subject of "European Poli
tics." He predicted a great European
war in the near future into which the
United States would be dragged if it did
not go in of its own accord. He de
scribed the great strengthening of forti
fications and preparations for war in
every country in Europe.
"You may ask what forces in Europe
preserve peace in Europe," he said.
This peace force is the moey power,
the great financiers whose interests are
entirely opposed to war. There are large
numbers of people, intelligent, thought
ful people, who believe that a general
war would kill off enough of the labor
ing population to temporarily solve the
labor question. Those who were left
could be paid higher wages and live on a
higher plane.
"It is interesting to consider which
nation of Europe would benefit most by
a general European war. That nation
undoubtedly would be Great Britain.
She has the navy and the men and the
money. England is far better situated
in a financial way for a war than any
other European power. The present
friendliness of England toward the Unit
ed States I believe to be sincere and not
expressed for the purpose of making
capital out of us. We should respond
to the sentiment. Besides ties of blood,
we would be wise to have a powerful
ally in case of friction with any other
European power.
"We shall probably be compelled to
take a place in the settlement of the
Eastern question. There are many
people who insist that we shall keep up
the role of the hermit nation. In my
judgment there is no choice before the
American nation. Whether we wish to
or not, we must take our place among
the powers of the world. The United
States may be dragged into the company
of the powers by the heels, or take its
place voluntarily and call to the world,
'Here is Jonathan ; he is six leet two;
he has come to stay ; he waits to be
counted; you must reckon with him.' "

What Terms the United States

Washington, July 26. The note pre

official proposal for peace, is not at all
satisfactory. It contains no definite
proposition, but rather conveys the im-

pfression that it is intended ti find out
just what terms the United States is
willing to make to bring about peace.
In view of the persistent inquiries of
the powers within the past few days re
garding the disposition we may make of
the Philippines it is believed Spain's
latest effort may have been inspired.
At any rate the president is said to have
intimated to the Fiench ambassador
that he would not consider any propo
sition that would not give direct evi
dence of honest intent. '"
