CONFLICT IN MADAGASCAR,
lIovas Detcrmincd- Reports from French
Sources Denied.

London, Sept. 27.-Colonel Charles
Robert Shervinton, who was formerly
commander-in-chief of the Malagassy
forces. a position which he resigned
last April, stated today that he be-
lieved that the lHOvas intend to fight
to the bitter end. and that he Is con-
vinced that the French account of a
victory over the Hovas at Majunga
was exaggerated for the purpose Of
cheering the French people. He said
that 1t was ridiculous to suppose, as
was stated in official dispatches from
Madagascar this week, that the main
body of the Hovas army had been met
forty miles from the capital and de-
feated.
The Hovas would never expose the
capital by sending the main body Of
troops to the front. The French expe-
dtion has not met the Hovas army
he said. and will not do so until 1t Is
within twenty miles of the capital.
Then there will be a desperate battle.

A question with nice legal point
was argued before Judge Metzger at
Williamsport, Thursday morning on
the application for writ of habeas
corpus to secure therelease from jail
of John Smith, the man arrested on
the charge of perjury and held for
court under 81 900 bail.
Smith, it will be remembered, was
q witness for the plaintiff in the case
of Sarah Hess against the Williams
sport & North Branch railroad, in
which verdict of $4,000 was re-
turned for The plaintiff. He swore
that he was in the cab Of the engine
with the crew when the accident
occurred, while the six men COM
prising the crew swore positively
that Smith was not there, and day
or so after the verdict was given
Smith was arrested for perjury as
stated.
The ground taken by the attorneys
for Smith in their application for a
writ Of habeas corpus is that a wit
ness IN case cannot he legally ar
rested and imprisoned on a charge
of perjury until the case has been
finally disposed Of. After hearing
argument on both sides, the court
decided for the present to reduce
the bail from $1,000 to 800, and
stated that he would give the matter
further consideration, the following
order being made:
"And now, to-wit, November 81,
1895, after hearing argument of
council, and after due consideration
it is ordered that John Smith, the
prisoner, give bail with one or more
sureties in the sum of $500, con-
ditional for his appearance at next

that he be remanded to the custody
