descends into, to him, unknown regions,
and NEEDLES with what is not bis business
The interior affairs of the Spanish provinc-
es are not under his jurisdiction. and surely
he ought not to treat them in a manner as
far removed from truth as from decorum.
Let President Grant demand the surrender
of the Virginius if his conscience permits,
but he must let alone the political parties
and interior matters Of our country things
which are never to be meddlcd with, He
should remember that no nation is more
jealous than the American Of similar inter
ference, and as the pretensions Of Great
Britain were the prime cause of the war in
1912, we, initiating the noble conduct of
the Americans at that time, are resolved to
die if we cannot conquer, before allowing
such Interference and tutelage.

TeStimOny Aganst Oakley Hall.

New York, Dec. 81.
The district attorney refuses TO disclose
the whereabouts of L. A. Woodward. who
is in the city to give evidence in the ring
trials. Negotiations between Woodward
and the attorney general have been in pro-
gress for month past Woodward will
be used as witness during the trial Of ex-
Mayor Hall. 1t is stated that Woodward
is prepared to furnish all the missing links
of the chain of testimony, and that his con
fession will be especially valuable as giving
information regarding the division of the
plumber. 1t is further alleged that he will
implicate persons against whom no proof
of crime has heretofore been developed.
LATER.
Attorney Barlow said in an in
teryew yesterday morning there was no
truth in the statements that Woodward was
here to turn states evidence and that he
will first be used as witness in the case
of Hall. 1t is not known where Wood
ward is Barlow added that Woodward
would be n very valuable witness if he
could only be obtained as he was familiar
with all the frauds of the ring and knew
the percentage of the plumber which each
member obtained. If he was in this city
lie was in hiding, and there was no proha-
bilily that he would appear as a witness in
the trial Of cX-Mayor Hall In regard to
the trial of Hall, Mr.. Barlow said that he
anticipated considerable difficulty in getting
Il jury, as the case is so well known. Ire
main would appear for the prosecution, as
sisted by Peckham and Assistant District
Attorney Allen. In the city generally yes
terday morning the report of Woodward's
return was accepted as true, some persons
protesting to have positive knowledge that
he is in custody. The police captains all
deny any knowledge of Woodward's where
abouts.
