JUDGE JOSIAH
Must Pungle Up as His Sister Has
Demanded

OAKLAND, Nov. 3.-Judge Ogden today
rendered decision in the celebrated SUIT
of Mrs. Anne Harris against her brother.
Judge Josiah Ames. The action was brought
to recover $4,000 worth of railroad bonds or
their equivalent. Judgment was given in
favor Of the plaintiff for S4S, ,74S.75
The concluding testimony was taken on
the oath of last March, Since that day the
court has been sitting out evidence from
the volumes OF testimony taken in the three
months OF continuous trial. The decision
was delivered in open court.
This action was brought on the Both of
September, 1897. A great sensation was
created because of the allegations of the
sister, implied if not stated, in the com
plant.
Mrs. Harris claimed that she was allured
to this coast by Judge Ames; that imme-
diately upon her arrival the defendant took
entire control of her affairs, and by keep
ing her in ignorance Of his deals gradually
took TO his own use her whole fortune. 4
breach Of domestic affairs was soon followed
by the suit
Judge Ogden went into details on all
points and concluded with giving Judgment
to the plaintiff. He, however, did not hold
Judge Ames guilty of converting property
to his own use nor of fraud. He believed
that Mrs Harris came to this region of her
own free WILL without any enticement On
behalf of her brother.

the whole of the Philippine archipelago
when at the outset part OF the Philippines
was all that was demanded.
This new demand exceeds war indenl.
mty, and this is the weak point which
| American diplomacy has to encounter. .ne
| Spanish government is at the end of its re-
| sources, and hopeless as it is for her to at
tempt to master the insurrection in the
| Philippine Islands, even if they were handed
over TO her tomorrow, it is evident that if,
| instead OF using the word abandonment,
! 'cession against a cash indemnity is spoken
of, the Spanish and American delegates may
come to terms.
''The American delegates have made sew.
eral offers and have at the present time,
iards want more and have demanded $780,
600 600.
''The Spanish delegates, for whose sad
condition one must feel pity, had for Il
moment an illusion that Europe would in
tervene and defend the interests of Spain.
They must have lost this illusion by now.
American diplomacy has played its part
with Spanish cleverness, and has from the
outset gained an extraordinary position. At
the present moment the United States is
taking advantage OF the hatred against Eng
land, which is growing upon the continent,
and offers its neutrality if Europe will leave
the United States a free hand with Spain
Europe really has no interest to interfere.
The various European governments foresee
what will inevitably come if the United
States restores the Philippine Islands to
Spain. As soon as Spain had proved her
inability to quash the revolt, Germany would
offer her interested assistance and imme-
diately the covetousness of French, English
and Russian diplomacy would provoke in
ternat!onal intervention, which would raise
a quarrel of exceptional gravity.
AT the present moment it is because
something of the sort might happen that
the attitude, of Europe in general towards
the Spaniards and Americans is as follows:
Come to some agreement about the price
of the Philippines, make concessions on
either side. but whatever you do. be quick
about it. There are plenty of troubles float
ing around Just now upon the political hori-
zon without a prolongation of these dan
gerous negotiations of yours"

At Fort Thomas

CINCINNATI, O., Nov. 3.-Gen Dodge.
Col. Sexton and DR.. Connor of the War In
ventigating Commission arrived at Fort
Thomas, Ky, at 10 am, in company with
Major Hall, the surgeon in charge of the
hospitals at that place. The commissioners
proceeded on a tour OF inspection OF the hos
pitas. They also inspected the camp of the
Sixth Regiment, which is in tents on the
grounds adjoining the hospitals. This regi-
ment was cut to pieces in the Santiago cam
paign and has since been recruited.
Gen. Dodge put many questions to the pa
tlents concerning their treatment but found
no one complaining. He was especially in
terested in those transported the previous
day from Lexington. They were all in good
spirits and apparently not affected by the
railroad journey. The inspection of the
camp was thorough At the dinner hour
General Dodge and Colonel Sexton went to
the mess tents and inspected the food. A
call was made on General Egbert, who com
manded the Sixth at Santiago and who will
be examined as a witness
The afternoon session was occupied in
hearing three witnesses, mostly on the con
dition of the division hospital at Chicka-
mauga.
The first witness was Major f. P. Hell
burn OF the Second Kentucky, now mus
tered out. The death list of his regiment,
he said, was twenty-six, most of whom died
Chickamauga increased very rapidly. He
knew that there was a shortage OF cots in
the hospital as well as of tents The cause
OF the bad condition of the hospital arose
from the fact that it was not intended to be
more than temporary hospital, but the
sick increased SO rapidly that it was over
crowded. Another cause was the incom-
potency of men detailed from regiments for
nurses. In many regiments the most
worthless men were detailed for that duty.
The detail was made according to regula-
ton. The committee found unnecessary
suffering because of lack of tents and cots.
so the patients were exposed to the rain
and compelled to lie on the ground This
was the fault of the quartermaster's de-
partment.
Requisitions were not filed for from two
to ten days and in some instances were not
filled at all. The medical corps was not
neglected, but was disheartened because
OF inability to get supplies, medicines and
proper nursing. The witness cited an in
stance OF a thermometer given to an orderly
to be used for taking the temperature of
patients, and when asked for it the next
day he said he did not know what it was
good for and had given it away As in
stances OF neglect, the witness said his com
mttee had much testimony that patients
were allowed to remain in their filthy beds
and were actually fiyblown. This neglect
was chargeable to the nurses directly. The
nurses were, frequently changed, and the
officers IN charge were also frequently
changed Some were asked to resign and
patients on cots on the ground. The wards
were not all foored until August.
The witness said he thought that two.
thirds of the sickness at Chickamauga was
due, to negligence Of the men themselves.
