The case was appealed to the su-

upon which the United States govern

that his trial by a military tribunal
did not accord with the terms of the
Spanish-American treaty, and he was
granted new trial by the supreme
court

the prisoner was entitled to a trial by
six judges, according to the law pre-

M'KEon TO REMAIN.
Permanent Receiver for the Bank of
Illinois.

WASHINGTON, Dec 26-Comptroll-
er Eckels this afternoon decided to ap-
point National Bank Examiner Nc
keon, now temporary charge of the
failed National Bank of Illinois, per-
manent receiver of the institution The
appointment was forwarded this after
noon. 1e
A committee Of directors of the Bank
of Illinois called on Comptroller Eckels
today for personal conference regard
ing the banks affaiIs.> The directors
thought a better understanding of their
own positions and thar OF the comp
troller could be obtained by per-
sonal interview than bK- correspond
ence. They desired to see the originals
Of certain letters which passed between
tn comptroller and, the directors, some
question of authenticity of signatures
having arisen. The committee of direc-
tors included William d. Kerfoot, Jo-
seph E. Adams W. r. Page and
Charles r. Corwith. They reached the
treasury department shortly before IL
o'clock Te.-
The conference was an extended one
The direstors stated to Mr.. Eckels that
they desired to make statement as to
their connection with the affairs Of the
bank, and to explain their relation to
its management since the letter written
the directors by the comptroller in 1895
Mr.. Eckels said to them that he felt
confident that the management Of the
bank had been very negligent indeed.
The directors thereupon explained that
the banks directors since. the receipt of
Mr.. Eckels' letter repeatedly had tried
to close negotiations for the sale of the
Calumet Electric railway with view
to realizing upon it, but the business
conditions of the country, the long po
litical campaign and thesptrouble with
the Diamond Match company. had
ca used a failure of these negotiations
thus far. They expressed "a desire to
do everything in their power to aid the
receiver in realizing the utmost from
the assets of the bank. Mr.. EckeIs inn
pressed upon them that he would ex-
pect them to make every possible effort
to realize from the Calumet road, and
at the best figures possible.l The dele
cation informed the comptroller that
they had no one to recommend for re-
ceiver, and no protest to make against
the appointment of any one, and were
practically willing tof Co operate with
any one Mr. Eckels might see fit to
appoint as receiver.
The delegation said the directors
were very hopeful that the affairs of
the bank would be completely settled
within the next twelve months, and
that every obligation would be met,
and that the assets probably would be
sufficient to leave the real estate clear
This afternoon Mr.. Adams, for the
committee, gave out the following:
1--WE had a very pleasant interview
with the comptroller. Our purpose was
to show what we had tried to do to i'm
prove the condition of the bank since
the receipt of the comptroller's letter
year ago. Our talk was mainly about
the Calumet Electric We feel that the
comptroller will do all that can be done
to realize all that can possibly be real
lied out of the assets. We feel hopeful
about the result We made no sugges-
tions about the receivership, either for
any one or against any one"
