lowing:
 Adjutant General U. s. A., Washington:
 Number of new fever cases on the 24th
 instant about 300. At least 450 returned to
 duty. Actual figures will be given hereaf-
 ter Notwithstanding figures, situation seems somewhat improved One death, Ser
 geant J. Larnann, Troop c, Third cavalry
 yellow fever. Signed:
 Shafter, Major General Commanding. The new cases of fever developed yesterday include, of course, all classes of fever and probable some cases of genuine yellow fever. As heretofore indi- cated by General Shafter and the med ical officers of his corps, the cases of fever are of a mild type. The patients are i'll from three days to a week and then return to duty quite as we'll as ever. The medical officers concur in theNopinion that this fever rendered the men immune, for the time at least to yellow fever.
 The question of returning a large
 part of General Shafter's command to this country for rest and recuperation
 was under consideration by the war of ficials, but the idea practically has been abandoned. Those who are ill or who have been exposed to the infestion are isolated in the detention camps and are not permitted to return to the main body of troops until all danger ha been averted Through the adoption of rig i'd sanitary precautions and careful attention to those who follow it is ex- pected that the fever will run its course in a comparatively brief time.

Senor Mella, the deputy, who caused an uproar at one of the closing sittings of the chamber by Biblical quotation about female rulers, is going abroad.

Newport News, Va, July 25.-Incom- ing trains during the last thirty-six hours have brought nearly six thousand troops to this city. These include the Second brigade of the First army corps. in command of Brigadier General Haines, from Chickamauga, and five troops of cavalry from Camp Alger. The first train reached the city at noon Sunday, and from that time section fol- lowed section. As fast as the troops arrived they were marched to their grounds and made themselves comfort able. General Haines' brigade is con1- posed of the Third Illinois, Colonel Ben- nett; Fourth Ohio, Colonel Colt, and Fourth Pennsylvania, Colonel Case. The five troops of cavalry are Troops A and c of New York and Troops, A, B and c of Pennsylvania.
 General Brooke arrived from Chick amauga at 12:30 this afternoon and went to the Warwick hotel, where he will remain until he sails for Porto Rico on the auxiliary cruiser St. Louis. The last train to arrive was that bring ing the brigade hospital corps from Chickamauga, which included $50 men. No more troops will come in till to- morrow morning. Orders were receiv- ed at Camp Warburton to-day direct ing batteries A and c Pennsylvania National guard to be ready to leave with this expedition. Those two bat teries have been stationed here since May 6. It is probable that all seven of the batteries will leave on the same transport.

The herald., 1898-01-09

The case was tried last March, when
the defendant was sentenced to pay a
fine of $500 or go to jail for 800 days. AS
sistant District Attorney williams tes-
titled that Mr.. Dunnigan had handed
him a bill of exceptions in April, but
somehow or other 1t could not be found
and the matter had dragged along.
Practically that was all that could be
said. Higuera's attorney failed to see
why his client should lose his right of
appeal-which the law says shall be per-
fected within a certain time-through
laxity on the part of the district at
torney's office. At the same time, mas
much as Mr.. Dunnigan had never pre-
sented his bill Of exceptions in court 1t
was moot point whether in handing the
document to Assistant District Attorney
Williams the proper legal form was fol-
lowed. Judge Allen said the only ques-
ton was one of jurisdiction; whether the
case was really in the supreme court OF
through Mr.. Dunnigan's informality II
had never passed from the jurisdiction
of the superior court. The court took
this point under advisement.
During the afternoon representations
were made to Judge Smith that in the
Higuera case proper notice of appeal
had been given in the first instance, and
an appeal bond filed. This fact Mr.. Dun
nigan failed to mention when making his
motion in Department one on Friday
and when Judge Smith learned Of the
fact yesterday he ordered that his pre-
vious order be set aside and defendants S
motion sustained. This order served to
release Higuera from Jail pending de-
cision of his appeal which will now be
perfected.

fled. But the Judgment must specify
the extent of the imprisonment. which
must not exceed one day for every 81
of the fine, nor exceed in any case beyond
the term for which the defendant might
be sentenced to imprisonment for the
offense of which he has been convicted"
So, after all, the amount of fine is linn
tied, unless it is made plain that the de-
fendant can pay, but won't. In such
case the Judgment of the court is lien
against the defendants estate. and ex-
ecution can issue against 1t in the or
dinary way.
These contrarieties of law have caused
differences of opinion among lawyers,
whether some of these misdemeanor
cases are not to be classed with those
classes of cases specifically exempted
by the statute from police court juris-
diction.
In the Luetge case, however, it is MAIN
tained that in any case the complaint
upon which he was held was defective.
He was charged with making away
with over $1,000, etc, but 1t was not shown
that he had not other resources-money
in bank, real estate, and so on. The case
of G.. Taylor much more insignificant
one than that of Luetge, but of the same
character was also based on a COM
plant filed by the district attorneys Of
flee in the township court. Attention
having meantime been drawn to the Pc
culiarity of such cases, Justice Young
dismissed it for want of jurisdiction, and
a new complaint was filed in the police
court and there disposed of by the sus-
tanning of the demurrer.

THE DIVORCE MILL
The Year Opens With the Full Quota
of Suits

Mrs. Vicenta A. Corrales Is rejoicing in
her liberty, since yesterday Judge Shaw
granted her a divorce from Manuel Cor
rales, whose home appears to be in Mex
leo. The parties were married in Feb
ruary, 1872, in Lower California, since
which time six minor children have re-
suited from the union. In November,
1894 the husband deserted his wife and
family, and since July, 1897, has been CO.
habitfng with a woman at Sweetwater,
Mexico. The wife, since her arrival in
Los Angeles, two years ago, has ac-
cumulated some little property, and,
under the decree, this is assured to her.
Judge Clark granted decree divorc-
ing George Fl. Prince from his wife,
Mary r. Prince, on the ground of deser-
tion.
Since the opening of the new year the
following suits for divorce have been
filed in the superior court:
Sarah M. Carlisle against Thomas B.
Carlisle.

neither the justice nor the superior
courts have any Jurisdiction over such
cases when they develop in the city.
These cases properly belong in the police
court, which has sole jurisdiction of "all
misdemeanors punishable by fine or i'm

imprisonment" to use the words of the
section of the Whitney act which gov
erns. True, the Whitney act has over
and over again been claimed to be un-
constitutional, but it has never been
pronounced 30 by the supreme court,
and so it's bad law-df bad it is-must
stand as good law until reversed.
Proceedings were begun against Luet-
&c under a special section of the statute
which lifts such cases from out of civil
procedure and gives them a quasi Grim
inal character. This section C54 P. C.)
reads:
