Galveston, Texas, December 14.-Otto

ment certificate from the United States
inspectors here, and who spoke the schoon-
er w. II. Clifford twenty-five miles off the
shore and offered to bring the vessel into
the harbor, states that he has not given
UP the fight
The captain Of the Clifford declined his
services on the ground that he was not a
regular branch pilot, and had no appoiut-
ment from the commissioners, but MIR
Olsen says he intends to demand pilotage
fees on the ground that he first spoke the
vessel.
Mr.. Olsen says that he served his OPP
premiership in the pilot boat years ago.
He also stated that the master of the
British steamship Tolosa, now In Bolivar
Roads, had promised to let him pilot the
ship TO sea this afternoon, and ii the
captain stands firm he will take the vessel
out. He desired nothing better than to lie
arrested for plotting a ship, as he would
then take the matter to the courts and
have its legality passed upon.

Arroyo Killed by Order of the Police
Chief

CITY OF MEXICO, Sept 22-Senor
Don Eduardo Velasquez, late chief of
police, today confessed that he directed
the killing Of Arroyo, the assailant of
President Diaz. Velasquez was removed
from office and placed in Belem prison
on suspicion of having acquiesced in the
killing of Arroyo. Today, during the
official Investigation, the former chief of
police was placed on the stand and asked
to detail his connection with the affair
To all que stfons he responded that he
was great admirer Of the president
and he felt that the scandalous attempt
made upon his life merited severe pur-
fshment. The judge permitted this
evasive reply for some time and then
ordered the inspector to reply directly
to the question. Seeing no escape, tho
eff1cer confessed without reservation the
part he took in the tragedy A groom
In the service Of Veiasquez was exam
ined. He said on the night before the
Killing Don Eduardo had sent him to
buy knives, which he had delivered over
to his master without knowing for what
reason he had been ordered to purchase
them. The judge placed before the
groom some knives used in the COM
mitment of the crime. mixed with
others and the groom selected those

The Stanworth Case

WASHINGTON, Sept 22-The navy
department has just made public the
proceedings of the court martial in the
case of Lieutenant G. Stanworth,
charged with intoxication on duty on
board the Adams at Port Angeles, Wash
The papers are remarkable for the Sc
verify Of the censure passed on both the
court and the defendant by Acting Sec
retary Roosevelt in his endorsement
upon the case. The defendant pleaded
in bar that he had previously been sus-
pended from duty by the captain, and
the court allowed the sufficiency of this
plea. In his endorsement Mr. Roose-
Welt says, after reviewing the history of
the case: THE court clearly erred in
this case, in the first instance, in sus-
tanning the plea of the accused In bar of
trial, and again in refusing to correct
Its error when pointed out by the depart
ment. 1t is difficult to understand the
display of obstinacy thus presented"

sensation. In it Mrs. Aspland was asked:
WAS there anybody with George
Webster when he fired the shot?"
She replied: There was another fei-
