OUR RIGHTS IN NAVASSA.
Those Washington Rioters Will Have
to Stand Trial.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. I'm the United
States court today the hearing of the Navassa
rioters was continued. The question of juris-
diction set up by the counsel for defense was
settled, but he will appeal the point to the
United States Supreme Court He claimed that
the United States has no jurisdiction over
criminal cases IN Navassa. The court is OF the
opinion that there is an inherent power in the
United States to acquire possession and juris-
diction OF this island by its discovery by a cit-
zen OF the United States. This power has been
legalzed by Congress and the jurisdiction of
the United States is therefore complete.

THE SOLDIERS HOME.
Annual Report Of the Board Of Com
missioners.

The annual repor: Of the board Of commits
sioners Of the Soldiers Home, near this city,
shows that, owing to limited accommodations,
admission was denied during the past year to a
large number of men entitled to the benefits
of the Home, but who could support
themselves outside. A new story on the main
building will accommodate thirty or forty more
men, but additional building operations are
imperative. The Commissioners point out the
fact that the appropriation act of February &c,
1889, locked up in the Treas
ury 100000 belonging to the Home.
The interest on this, with the receipts
from other sources would have kept the insti-
tuition self-supporting without making neces-
sary any inroads upon the principal of the
permanent fund. Last years regular current
expenses were S1S7, 0l0; the reduction of the
permanent fund was SS6,478. The fund on
September 30 amounted to 81, 269, 463.

THE CASE OF GEORGE MANTz.
A Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus
The Chief Justice Orders the Issue.

Tuesday afternoon, as published in The
STAR. MIR. A. B. Williams, counsel for George
Mantz, who is charged with shooting Edmund
c. Blunt, made a motion to have his client re-
leased ON bail.
The government not being ready for trial
further continuance was necessary and the as
sistant district attorney objected to the accept
ance of bail. He held that neither the Police
Court nor any other court had power to ac-
cept bail in a case pending before the
court when bail was to be given
for further hearing. Such bail, Mr.. Armes
claimed, would be null and void and if for
feited could not be collected. The matter was
fully discussed and Judge Miller took the
matter under consideration.
The case was continued until today, when the
judge gave his decision. He expressed the
opinion that he had a right to accept bail, but
with consent of counsel the application was de-
MED, and Mr. Williams will apply for a writ of
habeas corpus.
WRIT ISSUED.
This afternoon Mr.. A. u. Williams, counsel
for George Mantz, in custody for shooting Ed
ward c. Blunt October %, made an application
to Chief Justice Bingham for writ of habeas
corpus and the chief justice directed the writ
to issue, returnable forthwith. The petitioner
sets forth that in the Police Court on October
20 he asked to be admitted to bail-the charge
being assault with intent to kill-and
it was denied and that on the 9TH
instant he renewed his motion through
his counsel, when the attorney admitted
that he was entitled to be enlarged on bail. but
claimed that the Police Court had no right 10
take bail pending a hearing in the case. The
Police Court denied his right to bail on the
ground that no bail could be taken for further
hearing. He states that he is still held and re-
strained of his liberty and his right to give
bail, and asks the writ of habeas corpus.

Things were quiet at the White House today.
