HE Will FIGHT THE CASE.
Claim CadWaIIader Can Be Tried Only on
CHARGES PrafArned in Brazil.

OlloI 0iOIi gu III DIdLil.
MADISON, Wis, Sept. IA. A. Cad
wallader, the ex-bank president of SUI
perior, appeared before Judge Bum, Of
the United States court, and by his at
torneys, Spooner & Sanborn, de-
manded that he be tried only on those
charges which were preferred against
him when the United States asked his
extradition from Brazil. The specific
allegation made at that time was the
embezzlement Of $4,000 of the bank
funds. Since his return. however, half
a dozen counts have been returned by
the grand jury against him and from
these hisattorneys seek to have him alb
solved. In this argument Col.
Spooner declared that the extra
dltion treaties insist that a man
shall only be tried when returned to
the country i'll which the crime was
on those charges set forth in the COM
plant asking extradition. This clause
was inserted in the treaty at the in
stance of the United States to guard
against the possibility of persons living
in this country being subjected to trial
for political crimes after extradition on
allegations of other characters. This
country does not extradite for political
oHenses. After an exhaustive argu-
ment the judge took the matter under
advisement, but intimated rather
strongly that he was Of the opinion that
the defendants claim was rig hit and that
the government would be limited in it's
evidence to the specific charge made
when the extradition was asked. The
federal district attorney, however, holds
that the pOSitiOn ia ken NV Col SpOOpar is
untenable from the fact that Cadwallad-
er did not wait for eXtradition proceed
ings, but voluntarily returned to this
country. Had he asked for a hearing in
Brazil before being brought back the
government would then have set up it's
full case against him on the examination
in Brazil, but he returned without OPP
position on the mere fact that he was
wanted being telegraped to Rio Janiero
and thus waived all rights which he
might have to insist on specific charges.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
defendant is positive he will secure
the sustaining Of his point by
the court from the limitations which
Judge Bum made District Attorney
Harper believes Judge Bum will not
Of the case. 1t is promised that when
this point is settled others will be
sprung by the defense before the trial
of the defendant in the session of the
United States court at La Crosse this
month, and that the fight will probably
be one of technicalties all the way
through. It is possible, also, the settle
ment of this question will consume SO
much of the time of the Judge that it
will not be possible to try the case at
| this coming term Of court.

DAMAGE AT RIO.
Result of the BOmbardment of the InSur.
gent Feet.

BUENos AYREs, Sept. 15.-It is almost
impossible to obtain further news
from Rio de Janeiro at present.
After the bombardment of Gam
boa ceased on Wednesday even
ing the authorities of Rio de Janeiro
admitted that the damage done
was far more severe than they were at
first willing to admit. On Wednesday
the housetops Of Rio were crowded
with people watching the shrieking
shells as they whizzed through the air.
The fire of the rebels seems to have
concentrated upon the arsenal and
navy yard near Gamboa. One shell
struck the national museum on the
Campo St. Ann, but did little
damage. The Passeio publico, Santa
Theresa Hill, the Largo da Lafao, Gloria
Hill and other places were struck,
while crowds of people were gathered
there. The hotel Dos Estrangeiros also
had a shell drop in it's vicinity. A shell
fell through the roof of a house
and exploded in the cellar, wreck
ing the building and burying an old
woman in the ruins. However, the
sun total of the injury done to Rio is
small. There are people who claim that
some of the shells which fell in Rio
came from the guns at the fort.
