Attorney General Harmon, it is off
cillly stated to day, is considering the nd.
visibility OF instituting proceedings
against the Three Friends on that charge.
The Attorney General was originally OF
the opinion that the Three Friends had
not committed ~ pira ticnl act, even us.
Stunning that reports published Of ex-
change Of shots with II Spanish trip are
true; but decisions on similar occasions
have made him doubt his primary view.
In order to expedite the case OF the
Three Friends the Attorney General has
prepared an application to present to the
United States supreme court for Il writ
of certiorari on the United States circuit
court at New Orleans, for the transfer OF
the case to the United States supreme
court, so that the latter tribunal may
pass on Judge l.ocke's decision given at
Jacksonville.
Judge Locke held that the Go, crn.
ment in its bill of libel against the Three
Friends did not show that the vessel had
violated any law. He gave the Govern
ment ten days to amend its libel, and de
clared that,unless this was done lie won Ill
dismiss the application.

her.

the vessel with Il IL pound lIotchkiss

times anr badly damaged. While the
crew were in confusion boats loaded with
insurgents left the shore and the Cometu
