Points From tho Judge Advocate G on

WAsHIsaToN, Oct. 30.-In his annual
report to the secretary of navy, Judge
Acknowledgement Lemlsy comments
most favorably upon the working OF the
new law permitting sailors in our navy
to be naturalzed. He says the good eff
feet of this legislation cannot be over
estimated, and hopes the time is not far
distant when the records OF the depart
msnt will show that the naval service is
composed entirely Of American citizens.
The judge advocate general renews
prevous recommendations that laws
be passed limiting punishment by court
martial and establishing an act of limi-
tation for naval offenses permitting tess
timony to be taken by depositions, and
requiring the attendance OF civilian wit
nesses. The report comments upon the
faults OF the present system OF exami-
nations for promotion and retirement,
and suggests the adoption OF methods
similar to those of the army and marine
corps. Touching the coal station in
Pa9o. Pago harbor for the establishmen
of which congress in 1889 appropriated
$lO0, GOO, the report says the department
has purchased six tracts OF land known
aa Goat island, Swimming point, Soget-
Ian, Fagsone, Manga Ali and the
Krause tract. Some trouble was ex-
perienced owing to q complication of
titles, but these were finally adjusted by
the Samoan land com mission.

They scattered all through the noun

they found was the ruf1ian's discarded

He was evidently headed toward

MINISTER'S RESIGNED.
A Cabinet Crisis in Spain Over Colonial
Affairs.

Affairs.
MADRID, Oct. 30.-As result OF the
cabinet council held today the ministers
have rendered their designations. Min
lister Ssgasts has gone to inform the
queen regent the action of the cabinet.
1t is believed that the crisis will be found
o be difficult OF solution, though the
causes that have led to the resignation
OF the ministry cannot at present be
positively stated. it is pretty safe to as
sumo that the crisis WAS partly
precipitated by colonial questions. The
government hRp arranged with the Bank
OF Spain for sn advance of 100000
pesetas in Spanish silver to replace the
Mexican dollars in the Porto Rico col>
ony. This project was strenuously OPP
posed by Sefior Mura, colonial minister,
but his colleagues persisted in carrying
out the arrangement, and Sefior Mura
resigned. This, however. was but ono
Of the serious differences in the cabinet
on the governments colonial policy.
LONDON, Oct. 31.-A dispatch to the
Standard from Madrid says the ministe-
rial crisis was due 20 the belief of Sefior
Sagasta that he would be unable to over
come the resistance of the Conservatives
and dissident Protestant Liberals to the
new treaty OF commerce with Italy,
Austria and Belgium. The question OF
colonial reform also presented dih-
Guilty. The foreign and colonial minis
tero resigned, and all the other ministers
followed suit in order to allow Sagssta to

VANCOUVER, WASH, Oct. 30.-The
long deferred trial OF Major Wham, pay
master U. 8. A., was resumed today
after an interval OF nearly month.
The prosecution closed its oase by pro-
ducing the deposition OF Mr.. Beach,
Major Wham's attorney in New York.
who was supposed to have acted under
instructions from his client in anawer-
ing the amended complaint. this being
the main point at issue. Major Wham's
counsel, ex-Attornsy General Williams,
again interposed objections to the ad-
mission OF Bench's deposition in evil
dence, upon the ground that the rela-
tious of q clieHt and attorney, both under
the New York statute law and common
law, were regarded az confidential and
not admissible.
The court beiare deciding tho ques-
tion had the deposition read. showing
In gu bstance that Beach had no author-
ity to express terms, to make the an
swer to the amended complaint, or to
make any defense whatever, or that
Wham knew one had to be made, or
that Beach made one.
Tho prosecution, pending the ques-
tion of the admissibility OF the deposi-
tion, rested its case, and the defense
opened by demanding from the judge
advocate the production of the telegram
to Beach. alleging that the telegram
stated that Major Whsm intended to
make his defense, among others, on the
ground that it was through Beach's
gross carelsssness and neglect that judg-
ment was obtained.
The judge advocate requested until to-.
morrow to decide whether or not to pro-
duce the telegram, and, pending this
matter, court ad djourned until tomorrow.
