New Indictments A ainst Howgate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The grand jury
to-day presented two new indictments
AGAINST CAPTAIN Henry w. HoWgate, for
embezzlement. It is presumed that the for,
gerry indictments agaiLat him will hold
good. as none were presented by the grand
jury for that offence. Judge McComas'
who Dresides in the cases against How
gate. now has under consideration the
indictments against Howgate originally
prepared by an assistant District Attor-
ney of the Attorney Generals Office. Inc
new indictments cite that Howgate. as
disbursing officer, embeZZled sums az
p-regating about $23, 900. Great stress is
laid in one count on the fact that How
gate at the time he was captured IN New
York was a fugitive from justice. 1t is
said that the original indictments in the
cmbezzement cases Will be thrown out
tomorrow morning, when Judge McComas
will render his decision on the demurrers
