WASHINGTON Dec. 14-Adjt. Gen.
Corbin appeared today before the house
committee on military affairs. His

ditions in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines and the military require

IN COURT CONTEMPT
is ATTORNEY DAVIS.

This is the fourth day of Attorney
Geo. A Davis in Oahu prison for con-
tempt of court He was visited on
Sunday and yesterday by number of
friends and found to be in a much bet
ter frame of mind than when commit
ted by Judge Perry on Saturday last.
Mr.. Davis, by order of the court, is in
the custody of Acting Marshal Hitch
cock. The prisoner is making strenuous
efforts to secure his release, or at any
rate a hearing.
On Saturday Mr.. Davis was fined $50
for contempt of court in that he had
filed for record an affidavit intimating
prejudice and misconduct on the part
of the court in the now famous case of
Porter VS.. the Hawaiian Pork Packing
Co. Then Mr. Davis lost his temper.
He turned loose on Judge Perry a reg
uiar torrent of inyective, saying that
he had anticipated just such treatment
from the court and that Judge Perry
had been biased against him for d long
time. He accused the Judge of unfair
ness. His remarks were on the order
of burning elOquence and the tide could
not be Stemmed by rapping or warning
or calls upon the bailiffs for suppress
sion. Finally Judge Perry ordered ten
days imprisonment for the attorney.
Mr.. Davis applied to Chief Justice
Judd for writ of habeas corpus yes
terday, alleging thar Judge Perry had
exceeded jurisdiction, as the proceed
ings were in Chambers and not in the
open court of the regular term. The
Chief Justice did not consider the point
we'll taken and declined to issue a writ.
Mr.. Davis will today appeal to Associ-
ate Justice Whiting. On leaving the
Chambers session Saturday, Mr.. Davis
wished the Judge a Merry Christmas,
not forgetting to secure permission to
file exceptions for his client in twenty
days.
This case has twice been won for
Porter by Davis. The second verdict
was set aside by Judge Perry on the
ground that Davis had improperly pre-
sented certain testimony to the jury.

Another Horse SIaShed.

Capt. Robert Parker, Of the city po
lice, is again angered and mystified.
With all his Saturday night work he was
not able to get home till about 2 o'clock
Sunday morning. a driving horse OF
his that was grazing in the yard he
placed in the barn. At 4:30 the Cap
tain arose TO drive with his wife to
the fish market. He found that in the
two hours and a half he had been in
the house someone had entered the
barn and had inflicted several heavy
knife wounds on the horse. The cuts
are painful but the animal will not
die. This is the third horse that Capt.
Parker has had treated in this way
within six months

With the CineOerarh.

The cineograph was introduced in
Honolulu to a small audience at the
opera house on Saturday night. The
machinery did not work very well, as
there had been failure to get the re-
Cuired electrical connection. The sing
ing was good.
Last evening the cineOgraph was
shown at Kamehameha and a most sue
cessful exhibition was given. The light
was all right and the pictures were
given life size The applause was fre
Quent.

Railroad depot was stabbed last night
by a drunken native The victim of
the knife is said to keep a "swipes
joint at his house. Two men went
into the house early in the evening and
purchased, it is alleged quantity of
the liquor and took it away with
them. Returning later very much in
toXicated, they asked for drink which
was refused them. They insisted when
the owner of the place ordered them
out. A fight ensued in which the
householder was cut with a knife.
Captain Parker was summoned and had
the injured man removed to the
Queens Hospital. One of the men in
the fight was placed under arrest and
the other one Will probably be cap
tured today. The knife has not been
found. 1t is not known whether the
stabs are dangerous. Two of the cuts
were very slight and one penetrated
the side fully two inches.

Only a arm.

A story was circulated yesterday
that Sunday night several bombs were
thrown into President Dole's yard
which exploded with sufficient force to
do damage, and that the night watch
man drew a revolver which he fired
six times at the miscreants. As usual
it was a rumOr without any foundation.
The bombs" were frecrackers thrown
by celebrators on PunchbOwl some dis

Cuba must cease. The work of paint

this afternoon with redoubled vigor.

point of leaving Key West, and knew
nothing of the action taken by the
United States 4 torpedo boat was at
once dispatched to Captain Sampson
on board the New York.
The Indiana. Iowa, New York. De-
troit, Nashville and Montgomery are
being painted black All the officers
here regard war as imminent, and in
tense enthusiasm is exhibited, from
the youngest jackie to the oldest COM
mander over the prospects.
Later in the day an order 10 stop
painting the vessels of the squadron
| black was issued. This was caused by
a query from the Navy Department to
Captain Sampson as to whether he
could suggest q better color. He re-
piled recommending gray or drab, but
no answer has yet been received to
this suggestion The Nashville and the
New York are the only ships which
have been completely reprinted and
the Iowa, the Montgomery, the Marble
head and the Detroit are still a fair
semblance Of what was once the white
squadron.
The arrival of three new warshps
added fuel to the fire of excitement, and
the shores rang with cheers as the YES
sells steamed into the harbor. owing
to the darkness, it was impossible to
make out their exact identity, but they
are believed to be the cruiser Cincin-
natl and the gunboats Wilmington and
Castine.
Additional precautions were taken on
all the ships tonight. They have ev-
erything in readiness to pull out at a
moments notice. The sun crews sleep
by their guns. The extraordinary
measures in force are merely in the
belief of all naval officers that Spain
viii refuse the demand of the United
States, and that war will ensue. The
widest rumorS are current, and the
Cubans can hardly contain themselves
for joy over the latest steps taken by
the United States Government.

SPANS TORPEDO ELoTILLA.
No Protest Has Been Made Against
It's Advance Toward Cuba.

WASHINGTON March 26.-No pro-
test or representations of any kind re-
speeding the advance of the Spanish
torpedo flotilla have been made up to
the present time. so far as can be
learned in the best posted quarters.
The movements of this fiotilla continue
to be watched with the keenest inter-
est by naval officers, and close esti-
mates are being made as to their loca-
ton to-day, and the time intervening
before their arrival at Porto Rico. The
Navy Department calculates that the
run from the CanarieS to San Juan,
Port Rice, is $500 miles. 1t is believed
they have already covered about 400
miles of the distance. They are NOV
ing slowly. being accompanied by a
collier. which retards them, and the
remainder of the trip will take twelve
to fourteen days.
Although the movement is gravely
discussed by the highest naval officials,
it is not accompanied by any intimation
that steps toward actually intercepting
the fiotilla have been matured, or even
considered, except in the most general
way It is stated on high authority
that the reports that the flying squad
ron under Commodore Schley might be
utilized in this connection are not war
ranted by any steps thus far taken.
On the contrary, it is pointed out, the
entire plan of the flying squadron was
developed before the torpedo fleet left
the Canaries, and it was designed for
another line of work.
In this connection Representative
Hilborn, one of the senior members
of the House Committee on Naval At
fairs, was at the Navy Department to-
day and talked with the officials con-
corning the movements of the Spanish
fotilla Mr.. Hilborn presented new
phase of the movement and one not
III lire with the current view Of naval
officials.
1T is not for Us to interfere in any
way With the movement OF the Span
ish torpedo flotilla or other Spanish yes
seis," said he. THE high seas are an
open highway to the ships of the
world. and while there is no declara-
ton OF war we are not iii a position
to say that these boats shall not move
as Spain sees fit 70 direct them. When
we are assembling our own ships at
Key West and other points, it is not
the time for us to intercept the move
ments of Spanish ships. That would
be an overt act, and not permissible
in the absence of declaration Of
war"
