fendant in tho case was tho norlorious Annie
Itice, a Polish woman whoso name appears
on the court and jail docket more frequently

Anthony Adamowicz, wiio charged that the
woman frequently enticed his 11-year-old
son from homo during tlio past year
and taught tho child to steal. Mrs. Itico
denied tho charge, but tho boy referred to
substantiated tho chargo and said that, under
instructions from tho woman, ho committed
frequent thefts. Ho could not recall all of
them, hut particularized as far as his memory
would allow in two cases. Ho said ho stolo
two shoulders from Wlady Sumpakaitis, a
West Centre street merchant, and a quantity
of soap from a merchaut on Main Ftreet
whoso uamo ho could not recall, and the
stolen property was turned over to Mrs. Eico.
Upon hoaring this ovidcucc the woman made
protestations aud threats in her native
tongue, although sho has pretty faircommand
of tho English language, but she evidently
did not want the Justico to understand what
sho was saying. Sho was committed in de

that he Is definitely informed that tho Cap

reports received from our representative at
Loudon, there is much doubt among naval
officials as to Its reliability, They are reluct
ant to believo that the Spanish licet is at
Cadiz.
Admiral Sampsou has his Instructions to
meet tho Spanish fleet and destroy it and

not beou changed, Navy officials stated this
morning that word was expected from
Admiral Sampson to-day. Ho will then ro
celve further instructions from tho navy
department.
Positive knowledge that tlio cnomy's fleet
has really returned to Spain will result in
definite ordors to Commodoro Schloy, Tho
three armored vessels of his flying squadron
havo been retained at Hampton Roads as a
precautionary measure, based on the sus
