A CRITICAL TIME
DURING THE BATTLE OF
SANTIAGO.
Sick or Well, A Rush Night and

The Packers at the Battle Of San
tiago de Cuba Were all Heroes.
Their Heroic Efforts in Getting
Ammunition and Rations to the
Front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train No.
3, writing from Santiago, De Cuba,
on July 23d, says: "We all had
dIarrhoea in more or less violent
form, and when we landed We had
no time to see a doctor, for it was

with ammunition and rations, but

were able to keep at work and keep
our health; in fact, 1 sincerely be-
lieve that at one critical time this
medicine was the indirect savior OF
our army, for if the packers had
been unable to work there would
have been no way of getting sup~
plies to the trout. There were no
roads that a wagon train could use.
My comrade and myself had the
good fortune to lay in supply OF
this medicine for our pack.train

"Well, that's true. We we're told
to boil our water and we didn't do
it. We had no kettles to begin

wet to burn in the second place,
and moreover blaze was almost

of the doctors boiling water under
such circumstances. It's also true
that we slept in our wet clothes,

READY TO BEGIN WORK
A Trial Jury Will Be Empanelled
by Judge Clancy.
TO TRY CRIMINAL CASES
A Serious Question Raised as to Its
LegalityIt Was Taken From the
List Which Was Drawn
Last january.

Judge Clancy will empanel trial
jury this morning and begin regular
term of his department Of court for the
trial of criminal cases, but IL is likely
that very serious question regarding
the legality of the new jury panel will
be raised, and one that may result in
the discharge of the whole venire, or
later involve serious complications in
cases tried. The venire on which the
sheriff will make return this morning
was ordered issued by Judge Clancy
early in December and made return
able to-day. The Nenre was taken
from the list drawn in January. 1897,
which by law was to serve for
only one year. The law provides that
on the first Monday in January of each
year the chairman of the county com
misSioners, the county treasurer and
the county assessor. must make UP Il
list of Jurors from the last assessment
roll of the county, which list must be
delivered within five days to the clerk
of the district court and filed by him
in his office. The persons whose
names are SO returned are known as
regular jurors, and must serve for one
year and until other persons are Sc
lected and returned
A week ago to-day the jury commits
sioners made up the jury list as re-
quired by law. and il has been returned
To the clerk of the district court, who
has written the names on ballots, as
provided for, and the new list is there
fore ready for service. 1t is therefore
by some attorneys, that the
Venire from last years list is illegal
because ii is returnable after the new
list is in effect. 1t is altogether prob
able that some attorney will make an
objection to the new paneI on that
ground. ON the other hand. it is
claimed that as the venire was issued
before the new list was drawn the
panel will constitute legal and qualified
jurors. G. T.. Connolly. chief deputy
county attorney gave it as his opinion
yesterday that the panel to be returned
this morning is competent He be-
lieved, he said. that the law contem-
plates that Venires issued subsequent
to the return of the new list by the
jury commissioners shall be drawn
from that lot, but that IT was not in
tended by the law to invalidate the old
list the moment the new was returned.
on this subject IA California supreme
court decision, quoted in the code ammo
has some bearing. 1t says:
AN immateral departure from the
forms prescribed " with respect
10 the drawing and return of the jury,
such as does not deprive IA defendant of
an opportunity to secure a competent
and impartial jury, is not ground for
challenge to the panel"
