THE BOYNTON INCIDENT.
Secretary Herbert Not Yet Decided on His
Course of Action.
No Actual Onense Appears to Have
Been Committed Either Against
Brazil or Great Britain.

There are no new developments today in
the Boynton incident in the harbor Of Rio
and the Secretary of the Navy, who has
been charged with the disposition of the
case, has not yet decided on his course of
action In the matter. The case is a compli-
Gated one and may take some time to
straighten out. Boynton. a citizen Of the
United States, was in command of a
Brazilian tug illegally flying the flag Of
Great Britain. He had a torpedo on board
his vessel and was suspected of hostile in
tentions toward the Brazilian insurgents
Before he had accomplished anything in
that line, however, his tug was seized by a
British man-of-war for the unlawful use
Of the British flag. Learning that Boynton
was a citizen of the United States the Brit
ish commander delivered him at once into
the custody of Capt. Picking. commanding
the u. S. S. Charleston, for such action as
might be deemed necessary. Capt. Picking
informed the Navy Department of the oc-
currence and asked If he should send
Boynton home In reply he was instructed
to hold Boynton until further orders.
A Difference of Opinion.
That is. the present state Of the case and
the legal minds of the State and Navy De-
partments are in a Quandary as to their
course in the matter. The case is regarded
as important only because Of the difficulty
Of treatment. 1t is said at the State De-
partment that no International questions
whatever are involved in the case, and that
1t is one entirely within the jurisdiction of
the United States civil authorities. There
appears to be a great difference OF opinion
with respect to the actual offense commit
ted by Boynton outside of making an i'm
proper use of the flag of a friendly nation.
and that offense is clearly condoned by the
action of the British commander in surren-
dering him to the United States authorities
1t is equally clear that no offense has been
committed against the Brazilian govern
ment and the suspected attack on the In
surgents could become an issue only IN the
event of their success and scarcely then.
The Probable Result.
The general impression is that the incl
dent will close with q diSavowal on the
part of the United States OF any connec-
ton or responsibility for Boynton's action,
and that he will be brought to the United
States for such action as the case seems to
merit The suggestion is made that the
"Boynton" mentioned in these dispatches
is very probably Paul Boynton, the diving
suit man, who has been mixed up In SINH
lar affairs before.
Secretary Herbert last evening received a
cable message from Capt. Picking in re-
gard to the state Of affairs in Rio, hut he
refuses to make II public. lie said 1t made
no reference to the I3oynton case. In
structions have been sent to Minister
Thompson at Rio to see that United Safes
merchant vessels trading with Drazil do
not violate the neutrality laws In their deal

A Michigan Physician Convicted OF
Poisoning His Wife.

HILLSDALE. Mich, Sept so.-Dr. NJ.
p. Fogelson, who has been on trial for the
past two weeks for the murder OF his wife
a couple of years ago by poison. was yes
terday afternoon found guilty as charged
by the jury. Sentence was deferred.
Mrs Fogelson, the wife Of the accused,
died in waldron, Mich. August 9. 1891 Mrs
Fogelson's last illness was attended with
spasms. presumably brought on by hypo-
dermic injections Of morphine. A few
weeks after the burial the body was ex-
humed, and while the physicians found
no symptoms of disease. an analysis of the
stomach showed that il contained arsenic
and strychnine. About this time Fogelson
went crazy or feigned insanity and went to
an asylum, where he remained for some
time Upon his release, however. he was
arrested and after a long examination
was held for trial.
The trial has been going on since Septem-
ber IL and has been bitterly contested. 1t
was thought the defeEse had made a strong
case. but the jury brought in a verdict of
guilty in five hours. The doctor showed no
emotion whatever.

Twenty derelicts threaten danger to ves-

the Navy Department has received inforr,a-
ton that enables 1t to locate only the num-
Der named. Nearly II not quite all the un-
fortunate vessels were wrecked in the
great West Indian hurricane Of last Au-
gust and the hulks have been roaming
about the ocean ever since. The L. S. S.
Kearsarge went out from New York this
week and blew up a dangerous derelict of
Barnegat, but no further steps have been
taken to rid the ocean Of these threatening
dangers. All distractions within the lines
of inland navigation are under the jurisdic-
ton Of the Secretary of War, while the
Navy Department is empowered to deal
with all other impedimenIs.
