THE NEUTRALITY LAWS.
Arrest Of General Jordau-The Accused Held
TO Bail In $4,000.

At the instigation of the Spanish authorities,
and through the instrumentality of Messrs.
Webster and Craig, counsel for the Spanish
Minister at Washington and Spanish consul at
this port. afidavits were prepared aud presented
to District Attorney Davis reciting the facts
connected with the fitting out of the expedition
which left this port under the command of
General Thomas Jordan to aid the Cuban revo-
lutionists against the Spanish Government, and
witnesses were procured to go before the United
States Grand Jury, now in session in this dis.
trct and testify to the facts recited in the affi
dayts.
The result Of these proceedings was that an
indictment was found by the grand jury against
General Jordan, and other indictments against
several of his adjutors, the indictment being
presented Yesterday. On the presentation of the
indictments, bench warrants were Immediately
issued for the arrest of the indicted persons Last
evening, about o'clock. General Jordan was
arrested at his house In Thirty third street, and
taken to the residence of Judge Woodruff, to have
the amount of his bail fixed. After some con-
versation and brief discussion the amount was
fixed at 10000, two sureties being required,
end it being understood that the bail was to be
given for his appearance for trial at the Feb
ruary term of the United States Circuit Court
for this district. This preliminary having been
arranged, all interested went to the house of
United States Commissioner Belts, before
whom it had been arranged that temporary
bail should be given, to be renewed
before Judge Woodruff this morning.
The bail was given, Seniors Aldama and Del
Monte, of the Cuban Junta, becoming securi-
ties. This morning all concerned went before
Judge Woodruff to renew the bail bond aud
ex-Assistant United States District Attorney
B. X. Phelps moved that the bail be reduced.
The court refused the application, on the
ground that considering the nature of the Of
tense charged, the bail was quite moderate.
The bail bond was then renewed, the same sure
ties remaining upon it, and General Jordan and
his friends left the court.

Improvement in the condition OF affairs in Georgia.
Chine has been much lessi frequent than 1t was
during the previous year, and sections OF the State
which were then In a disturbed condition have be-

me- but the change in this respect is greater than
could have been reasonably expected"
A list of places temporarily occupied in the
whole department is given, and is followed by
the statement that In almost every instance they
have been occupied upon the application of the
civil authorities, either State or national. Tue
detachments sent were small, but their presence
produced good results. Two applications only
came from Florida. A few calls came from
South Carolina, on account of the threatened
disturbances. Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mis-
sissippi made no requests for military interfer-
ence or aid. At the time of the writing of the
report Alabama was the most disturbed portion
of the department, and from the northern part
of the State many applications were presented
for the aid OF troops, and numerous detachments
we're sent to support the civil authorities. In
all cases such detachments acted In strict subor-
dination to those authorities,
