important Action Taken by the
Council at WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Important
action was taken by the respective
bodies of the Episcopal Council here
to-day on two subjects which have
caused much discussion during the de-
lfeerations of those two bodies
The House OF Bishops, by a vote of
81 to 81, rejected propositions bearing
on the subject of remarriage Of di-
Vorced persons designed to take the
place of those now in existence The
present canons on that subject there
fore remain in force.
In the House of Deputies, after q de-
bate which has continued for several
days, a step in the direction of church
unity was taken The discussion OF
this subject was precipitated by the
offering of an amendment to the con-
stitution by the Rev. DR.. Huntington
OF New York. Without agreeing with
the principle Of this, the deputies final
ly decided to adopt a briefer amerd-
ment offered by Mr.. Faude of Mime
sofa, as follows:
But provision may be made nv
canon for the temporary use of other
forms and directories of worship bv
congregations not already in unicn
with this union who are willing to ac-
cept the spiritual oversight OF the
Bishop of the diocese
The amendment, if adopted by the
Bishops, will go to the diocese for ac-
ton, and must be passed by the next
general convention before it becomes
operative.

BOTKIN CASE.
The Petition for a Writ OF Haheas
Corpus.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-THE pe-
tition Of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin for a
writ of habeas corpus commenced to-
day, Judges Cook, Wallace, Borden.
Trout and Seawell sitting in bank.
District Attorney Hosmer contended
that legally, though not in fact. Mrs.
Botkin was in Delaware, and therefore
a fugitive from justice, because the
climax Of the crime had occurred in
Delaware.
Attorney Knight, for the defense.
held an opposite view, and protested
against Mrs. Botkin being taken to a
State where she had never been and
tried by the laws of that State. Mr..
knight discussed the laws of habeas
corpus, citing decisions by the Cali
fornia Supreme Court showing that
persons had the right of trial in their
own vicinage, and that persons charged
with crime in one county could not be
tried for the same in another. and
holding that the same law held good
regarding the division of the States.
Then followed an argument by the
attorneys on both sides as to where
the crime had been committed. the
prosecution declaring that the crime
had been committed in the State of
Delaware.
g AT the conclusion of Hosmers argu-
ment General Chamberlain, special
counsel for Chief Lees, addressed the
court He adhered to the same line of
argument pursued by Hosmer and had
not concluded when an adjournment
was taken until 1920 tomorrow morn

General King investigated the case

tenant Wheelock is brought in for much
of the blame by General King, Tor the
reason that he was provost marshal.

WAR INVESTIGATION.
The Commission Inspecting Camps
in the South.

JACKSONVILLE F1a), Oct IL
The War Investigation Commission
spent the afternoon inspecting the
camps in the immediate vicinity of
Jacksonville. A heavy rain was fall
ing during a part of the day, but the
Commissioners performed their self
appointed task of going through the
camp from one end to the other in Il
very painstaking manner.
The commission interviewed privates
and officers alike, and made personal
visits to the quarters of the men and
their commanders. They lifted the COW
ers of the commissary stores, went
through the kitchens, talked with ply
siclanS and nurses and made special in
quiry into the method of conducting
the hospitals. All three of the division
hospitals were visited and inspected, the
commissioners going through the tents
and IN some instances where conversa-
ton was allowable, talking with the
patients. The patients We're all found
occupying clean beds or cots, and in no
instance was a hospital tent or pavilion
found to be without a floor. In most
cases the hospital tents were effectu-
ally screened against flies and mosuui-
toes
But one complaint was heard in the
entire round, and this was evidently
not mace in spirit of fault finding.
Colonel Jones of South Carolina found
fault with the climate saying that fully
70 per cent. of his men were i'll. large
ly on this account. He also said some
rat1ons of refrigerator beef had been
received in bad condition, which was
due to the weather. Summing up the
result of the inspection. General Dodge.
the Chairman, said: 1--WE have com
pared notes after the days work and
find that complaint was made from but
one regiment during the day. This was
the objection made to the climate by
Colonel Jones.
I'VE shall tomorrow begin the in
qu1ry by swearing the men under oath,
and we hope if there are any short
comings to thus uncover them. We find
the sick doing exceptionally well. and
we are pleased to congratulate their
physicians on the excellent arrange
ments made for their care"
This statement was made in the pres
ence OF the commission, and was in
dorsed by them.

hibits the creation of any obstacle to

Jections, the Americans persisted in

that the United States could be con-

and they could not deviate from this
definite declaration.
According to impressions I have

titled to weight. the refusal of the
Americans is not of as positive char
acter as would seem to result from the
formal declaration mentioned"
dispatch to the London News
Agency from Paris, says: To-day
eMonday) the conference reached a
crisis for the first time. Judge Day
presented the demands of the Ameri
can Commission in threatening words.
He said that delay was the only object
of the Spanish to saddle the United
States with the Cuban debt, and would
be tolerated no longer, as the United
States would neither assume nor guar
antee any part of the debt.
The Spaniards replied that this
placed Spain in a position of repudiat-
ing or of reducing the face value of
the Cuban bonds from 80 to 60 per
cent, paying only half the stipulated
interest on the reduced value. Before
they adopted either alternative, they
would surrender to the United States
the entire Philippines.
Judge Day responded that the sur
render of the Philippines would prob
ably be demanded irrespective of the
cuban or any other debt.
This, to the Spaniards, the first in
tmation of the intentions, of the United
States as to the Philippines, resulted
in a whispered conference, followed by
an adjournment, in order to commune
cate with the Madrid Government.
Judge Day said that President McKin-
ley had instructed him to demand the
entire surrender Of Porto Rico to-mor-
row (Tuesday), and the delivery of
every town to the United States officers
before midnight, together with the
evacuation of Havana on or before No
vember 1st, when the United States
troops would be at the gates Of the city
ready to take possession
There was no alternative offered in
the case of either of these demands.
The session consequently was very
brief. The American Commissioners
nave received dispatches from Wash
lngton indicating that the Administra-
tlon is irritated and indignant over the

EIGHT VESSELS FORMERLY BE-

NEW YORK, Oct IA dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
The effective strength of the United
States has been increased by eight use
full vessels, which recently flew the
Spanish flag. Five of these are now
attached to Admiral Dewey's squadron,
two are credited to the North Atlantic
station, and the last is the cruiser In
fanta Maria, now under her own steam
preparing to start for Norfolk to be
made ready for active service. Several
days ago the Navy Department, which
is now making up it's list of vessels in
service, which is a customary exhibit
in the Secretary's annual report to
Congress, sent a message to Admiral
Dewey for an accurate list of the prizes
he was now utilizing in his fleet. The
questions show what latitude the de-
partment allows to the Admiral and the
answer tells how unhesitatingly he has
acted for the good Of the service and to
strengthen his own forces without
waiting for help from home. He re-
piled:
'The following former Spanish yes
sells are in my possession:
