Special Dispatch to the IptellIgencer.
MARTINsBURG, w, Va, Nov. s.
United States Judge Jackson decided
to-day that gaugers and store keepers
in the employ of the internal revenue
service were under the protection OF the
civil service law, and could not be re-
moved from their positions except for
causes other than political, in which
event their removal must be made un-
der the terms and provisions OF the
civil service act and the rules promul-
gated under It, which, under the act Of
Congress, became part OF the law.
The question arose in the three cases
OF the government employees at the
Hannls distlllery here, against Collector
A, B. White, acting under instructions
from the treasury department, which
revoked their assignment. Collector
White attempted to remove them and
assign to duty In their places others
who we're old soldiers, reiRstated In the
revenue service, when he was restrain
ed by an Injunction,
The case was subsequently heard on
It's merits before Judge Jackson, being
deliberately argued by such distinguish
ed counsel as Senator Faulkner for the
plaintiffs and District Attorney Gaines
and John W. Mason, ex-commissloner
OF internal revenue, for the defendants.
Judge Jackson said that many Of the
questions raised had never been adju-
dicated, and that they affected thou
sands of men in the employ Of the gov
ernment. They involved the constltu-
tlonality of the civil service law, the
right OF the employees to the protection
OF the law in assignments and revoca-
tion Of assignment to duty, and the ju-
risdiction OF the court OF equity In such
cases, all Of which decided adversely
to the defendants and perpetuated the
injunction.
Collector White gave notice of an ap-
plication for appeal

S.-The annexationists have received
through the columns of a newspaper Of
this city a hint that It Will be well to
abandon their meetings. The article In
question conveyed the intlmatlon that
the club was to be proceeded against as
a gambling institution, under which pre-
text It would be possible to cause Its
members a great deal of trouble, without
going to the length OF accusing them or
conspiracy. The secret meetings have
therefore, been discontinued,
General Blanco's formal reception at
the palace n week ago was a very chilly
afrair. Outside OF the officials and rep
rcscntatlvcs of commercial bodies who
attended, there were only about thirty
people present. General Blanco Is said
TO be in poor health, to be constantly in
need of medical attendance and therefore
not likely to be able to endure the hards
ships OF an energetic campaign against
the insurgents,

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. s.-A tale OF
cruelty and starvation on the high seas
was told to-day In the office of United
States District Attorney M. s. Foote by
four or five forlorn, weak and scurvy
stricken sailors, members Of the Ameri-
can ship, John A. Briggs, of San Fran
cisco.
They swore to complaint, charging
Captain ]. W. Badtch with having mis-
used and starved hts men, while First
Mate johnson also viii be arrested for
cruelty and beating and wounding sail
ors on the high seas.
The Briggs sailed from Baltimore a
little over five months ago, bound for
this port. Before a month had passed
the potato supply was exhausted, and
from then until the close of the voyage
no vegetables of any sort were served TO
the sailors. Three times a day the crew
was served with one-half of n small loaf
of bread, making about four slices, and
two thin slices of salt beef or junk, cut
so thin that the poor sailors could al
most see through IL,
Before Cape Horn had been reached
two OF the men, Charles Iervek and
George Nichols, were attacked with
scuryy and the entire crew had been
driven to such desperation that in or
der to save their lives, they were CONS
PEELED to eat the grease used to lubrl'
cate the masts.
1t is charged that First Mate Johnson
bent Jervek terribly on several occa-
sions, because Illness and starvation
prevented his prompt obedience TO COM
mands. Jervek's arm and nose were bro.
ken. on August 3. johnson beat Abel
Peterson into insensibllity for the same
cause. Others were badly abused.
