HYERMAN ON TRIAL.
Opening of the Case Against the Com
mander of the Kearsarge.

NEW YORK, March 23-The courtmartial
for the trial of Commander Oscar f. Hyer-
man, late of the corvette Kearsarge, sat
at the Brooklyn navy yard to-day. Com
mander Hyerman pleaded want of definite
specifications in the charges preferred
against him. The point as explained by
his counsel, Lieutenant Commander Mark,
were that the words currents well known
to exist around Roncador reef are not suf-
ficiently explicit. The court ruled that the
Advocate Kelly informed the court that
two of the principal witnesses, Admiral
Stanton and Lieut.. c. II. Lyman, late navi-
gator of the KearSarge, had not yet ar
rived. The former, he said, lived in New
London, and Lieutenant Lyman, he under
1t was expected that both would be on
hand to-day. however, and the court took
4 recess until later in the day, when it was
promised the witnesses should be present.
A second adjournment until p. m. was
taken, Rear Admiral Stanton being still
absent. Commander Hyerman has been, in
accordance with the regulations, furnished
with list OF witnesses to appear for and
against him.
When court reconvened Judge Advocate
Kelly said Commander Hyerman wished to
correct a false impression which might
have arisen by his first plea to want of
definite specifications" Lieutenant Com
mander MdrlA, as Couhsel loI the ueIehd-
ant, stated that nothing was further from
the Commanders mind than TO take ad-
vantage of any technicalities during the
trial. The case would, he said, be tried en-
tirely on it's merits. Judge Advocate Kelly
then read 10 the court a request made by
Commander Hyerman TO the Secretary of
the Navy for a copy of his record as a ma
val officer, and also for a copy of any
charges which might have been preferred
against the Commander during his period
of services. AS none of the principal wit
nesses had appeared, court then adjourned
until 10:30 o'clock tomorrow morning.

SPEECH BY INGERS0LL.
The Colonel Takes Part i'm Republican
Convention at Danyille, Ill.
to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
DANVILLE, ILL.,, March 23.-Republcans
of VermiIlion county had their convention
to-day. The main feature was the unex-
pected address of Col Robert G.. 1ngersoll,
who is billed TO lecture here this evening.
1t was the first time for years that the
politicians have enjoyed political speech
from their old friend, who for many years
lived at Peoria, and they thoroughly appre-
cated it. Colonel Ingersoll said that he
was out of politics, but he was Repub-
lican and earnestly desired party success
on account of the general prosperity that
it would bring to the entire country. He
wanted to see every workingman and MS
family we'll clothed; his children well fed
and on their way to school with plenty OF
books. He charged the hard times to the
Democracy, because the capitalists were
afraid to invest their money in manufactur-
ing enterprises and the purchasing mer-
chant would not buy, hoping that free
trade would make prices cheaper Thls
caused the money to Stagnate in the banks.
He wanted to see America produce every
thing that Americans use. AS an illustra-
ton, he said:
eff we purchase railroad iron in England
at 800 a ton, they have the money and we
have the iron. If we pay s25 a ton, we have
both the money and the iron.' He claimed
that a nation that produced raw material
for export would always be cursed with
poverty, and that the only road TO riches
and intellectual development was in the
manufacture of raw material. He attacked
President Cleveland for his duplicity In
sending Minister Willis with an open letter
of credentials to President Dole, and at
the same time giving him sealed letter
to the deposed Queen to knife Dole. He
denominated such treachery as unworthy a
Chicago ''bunco steerer.'
The convention indorsed Shelby NJ. Cul-
lom for United States Senator j. G. Can
non for Congress- j. D. Benedict, of Dan
Yille for State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, and NJ. B. Bailey and James
Z. Fletcher for the Legislature. Resolu-
tions were adopted favoring Hawaiian an
nexation. Gov. John 2. Altgeld was de-
nounced for exceeding his powers. disgrace
ing the State and imperiling it's peace by
his anarchistic course 1t was hoped that
he would soon be relegated to private life.

Who Gathered Much Evidence
Against the Doctors"

NEW YORK, March 23.-In the police
dragnet tonight was gathered large crowd
of abortionists who have been doing a
thriving business in this city. The arrests
were made on warrants obtained by the
Society for the Enforcement of the Grim
inal Law. In nearly every instance the
police captured instruments, drugs and all
the necessary appliances for carrying on
the Illegal business, which was conducted
chiefly through advertisement. The arres is
were made so promptly that the prisoners
had no chance to get tipped off, through
the usual channels. The warrants were all
executed at $50 p. m, and a large force
of men made it impossible for any of the
violaters of the law to get away. Many
letters compromising the writers were
found. They will probably hear from the
police later on. The prisoners are: DR..
Leo Randall, Mrs. Caroline Becker, Mrs.
Louise Schott, in whose possession We're
found various instruments; DR.. William
Krausie, Or. Newton Whitehead, described
as IAN old offender; Mrs. Eliza Schroeder,
Mrs. Benton Schwab, Mrs. Amelia Winkle-
man, DIR. Seldom n. Crow, Mrs. Eleanor
apartments were an electric chair and other
appliances; Mrs. Mary Gareconer, Mrs. z.
karch, Mrs. Christina Rothkrauss. Dr.
Benjamin Hawker and Mrs. Valley Frown-
berg.
A female detective of the society secured
the evidence on which the warrants were
issued. She visited each place and learned
many curious things about the way the
illegal traffic is conducted. The charges
made by these practitioners vary from S25
to 800, according TO the circumstances, So
cial position of the victim, etc. At the
house of Mrs. Schroeder horrible condi-
ton of affairs was revealed Under the
sink was the body of an infant, and in an
other place was the body of a still-born
child. In one of the rooms a young
woman in charge of a servant. She was
in a distressed condition, and the police
procured for her a trained nurse and a
police surgeon. The prisoners will be ar

NEW ORLEANS, Marcn 23.-The cond-
ton of affairs in Bluefelds, Nicaragua, is
,as unsettled as ever. The English are still
in control of the police protection of the
city. and are in fact in practical control of
the entire reservation. Lacayo remains at
Bluefelds and refuses 70 vacate, but his po-
sitiOn is not recognized and the Americans
continue TO ignore his demand upon them
for payment of shipping dues. Late last
night the steamship William CT. Hewes,
of the Southern Pacific hnt. arrived from
the southern seaport town with the latest
and two natives of New Orleans which was
appointed to arrange for a provisional gov
ernment had held several meetings, but,
having come to no agreement, disbanded.
There now seems TO be no attempt what
to bring about peaceful government.
The commander of the Cleopatra, besides
being the commander of the police protec-
tion of the city, has assumed control of the
government to q certain extent, and this
is all the government there is in the city.
Commissioner Lacayo remains in the city
and refuses to go out of the boundaries of
the reservation. The Cleopatra still rides at
anchor off Bluefields. but is expected to
leave very shortly. on Friday night last
a British battle ship came in sight off the
bluffs of Bluefields, and during the after
noon anchored near the Cleopatra. This
vessel is expected to remain at her present
anchorage and the Cleopatra will travel for
the northern seas. Several days ago Lacayo
received a letter from the President of
Nicaragua. instructing the commissioner TO
place in the streets OF Bluefelds fifty armed
men 10 serve as patrol. and one thousand
would be sent as reinforcements if they
were wanted. This letter was shown to the
commander of the Cleopatra, and Iacavo
was advised, if he wished to preserve
peace in the reservation. to decline TO re-
ceive the men and To dismiss the troops
that still hung around Bluefelds Iacayo
took this advice, and the following day the
remnants of the original body which took
the town some weeks ago were sent by boat

quiry among the scientific bureaus of the
government fails to disclose any project
for an Arctic expedition under govern

st. Johns to be under way. The scientific
people here are intensely interested in

closures and discoveries they may reason
ably hope for from the half dozen wells

NO APPEAL FOR CLEMENCY.
Uncle Sam Has Not Asked Mercy for
Brazilian Rebels.

WASHINGTON, March "a press dis
patch from Rio de Janeiro says: The de-
crees of 1888 and 1851 revived by PeiNoto
authorized the execution. without formal
trial, of all persons who have taken up arms
against the government, as we'll as those
who have aided or abetted. directly or in
directly, in the cause of insurrection- Tle
persons coming within the scope OF the
provision in question are not necessarily
BraZilians. All foreigners who have In any
way supported or co-operated with the in
surgents are liable equally with the ra-
tives to the summary treatment contem-
plated by the DEGREES. To what extent the
power of execution without trial Is TO be
carried out is not yet known In view CT
the present number Of state prisoners, the
possibilities are tremendous"
Another dispatch from Rio de Janeiro
says: 1.-The governments Of the United
States, Great Britain and Italy have, united
ly recommended to the government of Bra
gil that a humane course be adopted in
regard to the insurgent refugees who have
sought shelter on board the Portuguese
ships. The representatives or the gov
ernments mentioned have urged in support
of their recommendations that the lnsur-
gents have committed no crime against
common law.
If there has been any joint action of the
towards securing clemency from PeiXoto
for the fugitive rebels the United States
government is not party TO thg action.
Our government throughout the Brazilian
troubles has preserved an attitude OF nom
interference and il can be stated that
there will be no departure from that posi-
ton now that the rebellion at Rio is over.
1t is quite inconceivable that Minister
Thompson should officially break the rule
without specific instructions from Wash
