THIRTY-FIVE INDICTMENTS.
REPORT MADE BY THE EXTRAOR-
BINARY GRAND JURY OF
NEW YORK.
THERE WILL BE ANOTHER SHAKE
UP IN THE CORRUPT POLICE
FORCE.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-The extraor-
binary Grand Jury, which has been out
since January Z, reported to-day. Fore
man Leggett handed up thirty-fve indict-
ments and presentment censuring the
Police Department. The court adjourned
until o'clock in the afternoon.
The presentment alludes at the outset to
the work of the Lexow Investigating Com
mittee as having spent many months in
collecting evidence, which while ample to
satisfy the public of the existence of cor.
ruption fell short in most cases of that
which the law requires to establish guilt
In our opinion the report continues
''the great body of subordinate officers are
honest and capable men, and their assis-
lance in our investigation would doubtless
have proved most valuable had we
been able to demand it, but with
out proper orders, accompanied by honest
and willing suggestions from their supe-
riors, no aid OF this character was practi-
cable. During our entire session no police
official, high or low, has volunteered one
particle of aid, nor has any evidence what
ever been forthcoming from police officials
except such as has been drawn from un-
willing witnesses"
In conclusion the report says: "The en-
ployment by the executive head of the
force of considerable fortune accumulated
as result of favors granted in the
performance of his official duty may
well have caused Generalization to
the force under his command. The dis
tinction between such favors and direct
gratuities is not one that his subordinates
are likely to appreciate"
AS soon as it became known Judge In
graham had signed the warrants for the
indicted officials, the corridors of the big
building commenced to fill. Criminal
lawyers who have defended police cases
were soon on hand, but professed to have
no business in view, being there simply
through curiosity.
When Judge Ingraham reached court at
5 O'Clock the jam was terrific, but all who
had assembled to hear the names of the in
dicted officials were disappointed, as court
was Immediately adjourned until II
o'clock tomorrow morning. Rumor ran
rife as to who had been indicted. No one
IN authority would speak.

zance of the illogical position of the States
attorney and declines to pass judgment
when other great interests are affected,
but not represented, in the contest.
1.-THE effect of the judgment is. simply to
stand the State out of it and leave the two
contestants face to face. This suit simply
acted upon the real contest like the friendly
individual who pulls at the elbow of man
in a glove contest. The man at our elbow
is out of it now. We have gained this,
however, that the Supreme Court is now
fully informed of the facts There is no
man living who can state those facts in a
day. They have been presented both in
printed testimony and in argument, and
when the case comes up again on the full
presentation we will have that advantage
"There are five waterfront cases now
pending in the courts awaiting Judgment,
all of which viii probably go on to the
United States Supreme Court The case of
the State against the city, in which we have
Judgment in the lower court, will come up
before the State Supreme Court in bank in
July.
''The waterfront company's appeal from
the order denying a change of venue in the
main case tried before Judge Ogden will
come up at the same time.
1.-TWO cases are before Judge McKenna
known as the Cook case and the foot of
Broadway case. These were submitted to
him some months ago and he has been
waiting for the ruling of the Supreme
Court. He will now, of course, act upon
his own judgment.
'"The fifth is the main case which has
been on trial before Judge Ogden for
months and which has been recently sub
mitted. All of these cases are before the
courts and we are awaiting decisions upon
them. They are distributed through the
Superior, State Supreme and United States
Circuit Court. They stand now relatively
as they stood when the Chicago lake front
decision was rendered two years ago and
struck blow for public rights. These de-
cisions in more important cases are being
looked for most any day. Judge Ogden
at the conclusion of our argument said he
would wait for the decision in this case.
Now that that has been disposed of he will
work upon his own lines. These cases will
all no doubt be carried to the United States
Supreme Court"

WAITING FOR THE CHANCE.
SPANIARDS SAID TO HAVE BEEN
ANXIOUS TO FIRE UPON
AMERICAN VESSELS.
Now COMES A REPORT THAT AN
ENGLISH STEAMER HAS BEEN
BOMBARDED.

NEW YORK, March 1s-The Ward line
steamer Seguranca arrived in port to-day
three days out from Havana, Cuba.
Speaking of the Alliance matter one
of the passengers said that he heard
a Spanish official say the Spaniards
had been waiting chance to fire upon
American vessels, as they believe the
Americans were aiding the insurgents He
furthermore said all Spaniards felt I'M
friendly toward Americans for the same
reason.
AS to the revolution the provinces en-
gagged consist of Manzanillo, Santiago de
Cuba, Holguin, Guantanago and Vengue-
tia. The rebel forces consist of about 5000
men familiar with the country and all de-
termined. The Government forces consist
of about 5000 regulars and $500 more are
now en- route from Spain.
There are about $4,000 volunteers who
will take up arms for Spain, but the
Cubans seem to think little of them as
fighters. The rebels are marching toward
Puerto Principe, which is the seat of the
revolution.
The Cubans say that the rebels have
things all their own way in the eastern
part of the islands, but are committing no
depredations. They frequently invade
towns for supplies, but always pay for
what they get.
A World cable from Havana, Cuba, says
the Spanish cruiser Corde de Vanilor fired
on an English steamer. 1t is presumed
here the cruiser was mistaken in the ma
tionality of the flag, and it was the Al
lianca she fired upon.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March ia
special to the Florida Citizen from Key
West Fla, says: A letter has been re-
ceived here from Cuba stating that the
Spanish gunboat Alcedeo fired upon and
sunk supposed American schooner off
Puerto Padre with sixteen people aboard
1t is rumored that the schooner from
Key West was the Golden Hind, of Key
West which left here several weeks ago Tor
a cargo of fruit, with a crew of sixteen men,
had to pass Puerto Padre and may have
been the vessel in question. The schoon-
ers Louis Hastings and Lily also sailed for
fruit several days ago.

The Washington Congressman Farors the
Building of the Nicaragua Canal.
TACOMA, Wash, March 18.-Congress-
man w. ii. Doolittle arrived home to-day
from Washington. He was one of the
strongest advocates of the Nicaraguan
Canal measure. and while deploring the
fact that it was killed through the action
of the Committee on Rules of the last Con-
gress he feels sure it will pass at the next
session.
Tom Reed, he says, is strongly in favor
of the canal, and as Reed in his opinion is
certain to be Speaker of the Fifty-fourth
Congress and Chairman of the Committee
on Rules he will prevent a repetition of the
last sessions lack of action Doolittle has
sounded many of the new members and
says they are solid for the canal.

age to fruit by the late frosts in this local

On the whole half crop of apricots re-
