the Courts controlled the same practice IN the
United States Courts Mt Justice NeIsoh hu lAlu aoNh
the rule that reasonable time should De given, ana de-
fined 4s hours as reasonable time Ihe Government VIZ
nesscs were not ready lie knew IoI the lst tle, o
ciay that the prisoners would demand an examination
In Ryaus he had not been aware that Ryan hhd any
counsel until within Few minutes io "e lS
OF the accused had told him that they coud TAX about
an examination when the came before the Commls'
sioper The present complaint against Ryan was In the

The commissioner said that Il contrary TO the es
tablished practice into immediate eNamuAtionr
but II he could the necessity he would order te case
70 proceed but no did not see such necessity IN kyas
case and would commit him in default OF bail Tor an
examination on this "wednesday afternoon al O'Clock
The question Of the amount OF bail was raised although
NJ sedewck thought that from the Of the
ieT that the ba could not be fixed at too low an amount
Mr. Bell discaimed having any real m this Gaze further
The defendant Ryan had already been charged by tho
Grand Jury with settling on foot military enterprise
against nation with which at peace, aud
listing soldiers IN this country TO Invade the domnions
ment he had been required 20 give bail for trial and also
The Neutrality Laws OF the United states The present
| complaint charged mm with having, on the nth
dctmen and the 18th Of June repeated the very
FOR which he had been indicted ana WHEN ne haa bonds

enterprise and exceedingly active IN his efforts 70 for

be baied There was evidence TO show that on the very
day he gave bonds he went 20 the Cuban headquarcrs
and Immediately proceeded deliberately to violate and
has ever violated the laws that he bonds not
10 violate Even after his arrest Monday night be had
made speech To his men. saying they would yet be on
despite a the proceedings taken against them OF all
these facts the Government had abundant evidence.
| Mr.. Sedgwck said that Mr.. Bells remarks had been
based upon what had been told him outside not upon
what was contained in the complaint OF ST. John. The
charge In the complaint related TO only one expedition
and Ryan had been bGiled on that charge aud now t
was 70 have Am baed TO prevent the commission
OF possible offence The conversations rected IN the
| complaint were not crimes The charge That he gave
orders 10 his utterly false Ryan had never
| been to the Ctban headquarters since his previous
arrest. He had already given ball Tor INC offences
charged and there good evidence OF further
violation intention TO violate on his part tie Neutrality
Mr. Bell Thought that the assumption by counsel that
Ryan given bail for the offences charged was rather
curious Ryan had since been guilty OF similar Oeuses
and therefore had no right % be baed or II he was
bailed, the amount should be fixed ut an amount sum
10 deter him from again violating the the Neutrality
the Commissioner said that from the representations
made TO him by Mr. Bell and taking iuto consideration
that Ryan entitled 10 DO baled tho charges OF
being engaged In fitting ont an expedition and cnllstlng
men for such expedition, but on the charge OF intend
lng violate the Neutrality laws by future action his
part Ryan must be remited to the custody OF the Marshal
Mr. Bell Inquired what action the Commissioner would
take Ia relation To the other persons accused saying that
OF 5000 each TO appear for examination ana 1880
not 70 engage in any breach Of the Neutrality laws
Mr. LOwTey moved that Alfaro be discharged on his
own recognzance. He was simply charged with being
officer, but there was no statement as to where or
for his appearance, he thought little bail should DO
| required Tor him TO keep the peace
| After Mr Bell had replied IN opposition 10 Mr.. Low
reys motion, Nr. Phelps arose and dcnel that any un
due activity had been shown by the Government Ia tho
course IL had taken. The Government officials were sim
ply trying 20 preserve the good faith OF the Government
and 10 exhibit 10 other nations IN practical manner
