From the New York Post of Saturday.
arrest Of Col Kiunsy-Unitsd States Consul
Indicted

Iron the New York Post, of Saturday.
arrest Of Col. Kiuney-Unitsd States Consul
Indicted.
Last evening at half past six, Col II. l..
Kinney, while dining at his hotel, tho Metro
polisan, was waited upon by United States
Deputy Marshal Horton, with q bench war
rant for his arrest, founded on An indictment
Of the grand jury Of the United States Distrie
Court The indictment Is understood to have
originated with Attorney General Cushing, but
the names OF the signsrs to the afidavits autho-
rizing the proceedings have not transpired. -
The Colonel at once surrendered himself to the
custody Of the Marshal, in which he remained
for the night. ....-. =
Attic opening of the court this morning, Col.
Kinney appeared to answer the indictment,
which charges him with fitting out military
expedition within the United States He an
swered to the charge by his counsel, Messrs.
Fanoher and Eager, and offered any bail which
tho court might require, asking through his
Judge Hall, presiding) ordered the prisoner
to be discharged from the bench warrant, upon
giving the recognisance of himself and two
sureties in the sum Of SIC, 900; tho sureties be.
ing residents Of the district, and to justify be-
fore the United States Commissioner IN the sum
Of $40, 900 each.
The Colonel then left the Court and pro-
ceeded before the Commissioner and gave the
required bail. The second Monday in May
was assigned for the trial. The commanding
appearance of the Colonel attracted much at.
tention in Court, whore q large number of
citisens were In attendance.
The Indictment and arrest, We understand,
are based on the sixth section of the Neutral.
ity Act Of April 20, 1918, which reads as fol-.
lows:
off any person shall, within the territory or
jurisdiction of the United States, begin to set
on foot. or provide or prepare the means for
any military expedition or enterprise, to be
carried on from thence against the territory
or dominion OF any prince or state, or Of any
colony, district or people with whom the
United States are at peace, every person so
offending shall DO deemed guilty Of high
misdemeanor, and shall be fined not exceeding
three thousand dollars. and imprisoned not
more than three years"
The Colonel, in his present position, has no
lack Of friends and sympathisers, who crowded
the police station house all night, hardly al
lowing him two hours sleep before his ap-
pearance in court. He docs not, however,
ssem at all cast down, and expresses the
greatest confidence in the success of his voy-
age, which he thinks will be detained but a
few days by the trial. He denies that he has
violated tho neutrality laws, attributine the
complaints preferred against him of setting
on foot military expedition, solely to the
fact that his colonists, like the emigrants to
Kansas or California, may have chosen to 20
armed.
The indictment in this case includes with
Colonel Kinney, Mr.. Fabens, United States
Consul at Nicaragua, who ia absent at Wash
ington, and relative to whom bench warrant
has been issued.
