Captain General WeyIer Preparing to

Beri-beri-Yankee Excoriated.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The secretary of
the treasury has received telegram from
Special Inspector Hampton, at Fort Lauder
dale, Fla, stating that he boarded the
steamer Biscayne, off New River inlet, at
o'clock yesterday morning, while she was
transferring arms, ammunition and coal to
the Dauntless, and that he was knocked
down, disarmed and driven off. This tele-
gram was referred to the attorney general
for such action as the gravity of the occur
renee may warrant. This is the only infor-
nation yet received at the Treasury De-
partment in corroboraton of a report tee-
graphed last night from Fort Louderdale
detailing this assault and the subsequent
capture of the Dauntless by the cruiser
Marblehead. The department officials say
that they have no doubt that the Dauntess
had just returned from q successful landing
in Cuba of munitions of war and her cap
ture is regarded as highly important. The
persons who maItreated Inspector Hampton
while in the discharge of his duty a
United States officer, it is stated, will be
vigorously prosecuted.
An Associated Press dispatch from Key
West, Fla. says: The United States cruiser
Marblehead, which left here under sealed
orders Sunday morning, returned at noon
to-day with the tug Dauntless in tow,
charged with filbusterng. A lieutenant of
the Marblehead had been placed aboard the
Dauntless. Upon arriving the tug was
turned over to the customs officers. About
twenty-five Cubans were found the
Dauntless, including Charles Silva, Colonel
Nunez and j. E. Cartaya. No communica-
tion with the boat is allowed. Very little
ammunition was found aboard the Daunt-
less, and only two rifles Report has it
that the crew threw the remainder of the
cargo overheard. The tug gave the cruiser
a lively chase down the east coast of Flori-
da before it was oVerhauled. Spanish Con-
sui Fernandez had his lace slapped by j.
M. Gown and crowd of Cubans attempted
to throw him overheard from the wharf,

MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY.
Clothing manufacturer Found Dying
in His Office by "a Night Watchman.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-The fatal
shooting this evening of Isaac Hoffman,
member of the firm of Hoffman, Alexander
6, Co., clothing manufacturers, is sur
rounded in mystery. There are conflicting
theories of murder and suicide and the po-
lice as yet know nothing except that Hoff-
man is dying in the Receiving Hospital with
two bullet wounds in his head. He was
found in his office by the night watchman,
who discovering the door open, entered
and stumbled over his employers body. No
reason is apparent for suicide and there was
at first no seeming probability that muir
der had been committed 1t was subse-
quentIy reported however, that in the early
evening Hoffman and another man had
been seen in earnest conversation entering
the office of the firm. One of these men
only was observed to come out and he made
his exit on the stretcher of the patrol
wagon No one heard pistol reports, but as
the office is at No. Battery street in the
wholesale section there are few passersby
at night, the quarter being practically de-
serted.

SEARLEs ACQUITTED.
Sugar Trust Secretary Not Guilty of
pefying the Senate.

pefying the Senate
WASHINGTON June lin the case of
John E. Seares, the Sugar Trust witness
Judge Bradley this morning ordered the
jury to bring in a verdict of acquital hold
ing that the questions asked the witness
by the Senate committee were NOT pertinent
and if so were not within the jurisdiction of
the committee The judges opinion was
exhaustive. 1t had been reduced to writing
He pointed out that Idr. Seares had testi-
fled specifically that no money had been
contributed by the Sugar Trust to the
national campaign fund or for the purpose
of influencing legislation or the election Of
United States senators. AS to the local
contributions Mr.. Searles had testified that
he did not know how the contributions had
been used by whom for what purpose
The questions put to the defendant were
claimed to be pertinent to the second and
third divisions OF the senatorial inquiry
namely. as to whether the Sugar Trust had
contributed sums to campaign funds with
the purpose of influencing the election of
a United States senator and whether any
senator had been party to a compact with
the Sugar Trust. Certainly, the judge said.
a simple investigation as to whether the
Sugar Trust had contributed to a campaign
fund would be an unwarranted search into
the private affairs of the company and
plainly beyond the power Of the Senate
The Senate committee had reported that no
testimony had been produced to show that
the Sugar Trust had made any contrfbu-
tions to any national campaign fund or for
the purpose of affecting legislation If
money had gone for the purpose of electing
members of state legislatures who i'm time
would elect a United States senator it was
beyond the power of the United States SEN
ate to go behind the election Of legislative
members. If this Were true as to state
matters how much more true was it Of local
elections. 1t would be the widest coniec-
ture to assume that the money so con-
tributed in any way had gone to make up
the sugar schedule. 1t appeared from the
report of the committee that they were not
in the possession of any facts upon which
they could base the most remote hope of
showing an ultimate connection between
the Sugar Trusts contributions and the
ST gar schedule. | nder these circumstances
il must be held that the questions asked
were not pertinent and If construed TO be
pertinent that they were unwarranted pry-
ing into the private affairs of the company
and therefore beyond the Jurisdiction of the
Senate Judge Bradley therefore sustained
the motion of the defense and ordered the
jury TO return a verdict of acquittal The
jury accordingly rendered a verdict of not
guilty and Mr.. Searies was free

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Whle no official
communication, either letter or report, has
come to Washington yet from Mr.. Cal
houn, the special counsel sent by the Presi-
dent to Cuba in connection with the Ruiz
case, private advices received here from
him indicate that he expects to leave
Havana for Washington next Thursday or
Friday He will go directly to New York
by steamer instead of coming back from
Tampa by rail, as he went, and it is eX-
pected that he will reach this city about
next Sunday. 1t is said at the department
that no official report on Cuba is 10 be eX
pected from Mr.. Calhoun; that all he VIII
have to submit otncIauy viii bear on the
Ruiz case which was the subject OF his
official appointment, and that anything he
will have TO communicate respecting the
general conditions in Cuba as affected by
the war will be in the shape of a verbal re-
port TO the President. AS FOR the Ruiz case,
1t is now clear there will be two reports,
but in the absence of an exact knowledge
as to the points of disagreement 1t is not
possible for the officials at the State De-
partment to predict the next step to be
taken in the matter, although it is certain
that it will not be allowed TO rest on the
record so far taken.
