ALTERED RAILROAD TICK Ers.-Ine
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
yesterday recovered by search warrant
issued by Squire Caldwell and served on
X. Frank, an ingeniously altered ticket
and which should put persons on their
guard from buying tickets except from
authorized agents of the company The
ticket originally read Wheeling 10 Ben
wood, but the word Benwood had been
shaved oil and Baltimore pasted on. 1t
WAS in evidence before Squire Cald-
well that Mr.. Frank had received
the ticket with others from Mr. Upton
w. Dorsey, corner of st. Paul and Bal
timorc street, Baltimore, and we are in
formed that he intends suing Dorsey for
the attempt to defraud. We suppose the
B. u 0. will take care Of Dorsey in Bal
tmore. The, fraud WAS Immediately de-
tected in the Auditors Office nj BaItl-
more, and the energetic action OF the
railroad officials has nlpped the matter
IN the bud.
The case was worked up by detective
VIM. Carter, OF Baltimore, assisted by
the auditors of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company. A telegram WAS
sent to Baltimore, yesterday, for the ar
rest of Dorsey. Mr.. Frank is entirely
sxonorated in the matter.

OUR SPANISH ROW.
Points at Issue Between the United
States and SpRin-The Treatment
of American Citizens fn
Cuba.

WASHINGTON, december 14-The
point ct Issue between the United States
and Spain is stated iu non official, but
usually well-iIformed circle, as follows:
The United States asks, first, that in fu.
ture ell American citizens in Cuba &C.
cused OF violating law shall be tried by
civil courts and not by military tribunals,
all the rights in such csses being &C.
cured by the seventh article, treaty of
1895; and, second, that all sentences
where American citizens have hereto
fore been tried by military tribunals
shall be annuled. Spain agrees to con-
cede the claim of the first proposition,
agreeing that in future American citi.
zens accused OF violating law shall be
tried by the ordinary tribunals, with the
right to be heard by counsel, to summon
witnesses and employ all other necessary
safeguards to the accused, but with the
reservation that all such trials shall be
according to the law of 1921, which
provides for more expeditions proceed
ings than those OF civil courts for COM
mon crimes in times of peace, and also
offers to revise all sentences passed by
