COURT OFF FOR DARIEN.
Judge FalIiSaBt VIII Pass on n Petit
ton for Habeas COrDus There

Judge Robert Falligant and Solicitor
General w. w. Osborne left the city yes
terday afternoon for Darien. Judge Fal-
ligant will hold a special session of the
Superior Court there to-day for the pur-
pose of hearing the habeas corpus case
OF James Jenkins alias Joe White.
Jenkins is an escape from the peuiten-
tiary. He was sent up from Dougherty
county in the early eighties for murder,
and was sentenced for life. This is his
third escape from the penitentiary, end
each time he has been sent back. The
claim is now made that he is Joe White,
and not James Jenkins, and the question
before the court is one of identity. 1t is
understood that jenkins made this claim
once before, but that he was positively
recognized and returned to the peniten-
tiary, where he remained for several years
before he escaped again.

Capt. whites Theory of the Names
Destruction.

Destruction.
Capt. Joseph P. White, the gunsmith,
has a theory about the destruction of the
Maine which is seemingly a very plaus,
bic one. mo.
Among the,lmany ideas which have
been advanced to account for the destruc-
ton of the Maine" said Capt White yes
terday, II do not understand how it is
that 1t seems not to have occurred to any,
one that the destruction might have been
accomplished blythe use of fish torpedo.
1t is much more likely that a torpedo of
this kind would have been used by parties
intending the destruction of the ship than
the stationary kind or one that would have
to be floated down against the ship All
that is necessary with fish torpedo is 10
place 1t In the water and direct ii at the
object. Intended to be destroyed. These
torpedoes are propelled by compressed air
and consequently 1t would not have been
necessary to make any noise in starting
It off. The. Whitehead torpedoes carried
by most of our warships are of the FISH
variety. When used they are placed in
firing tubes and small charge of powder
simply throws them out into the water.
After reaching the water the torpedo fur
nishes its own motion by the compressed
air stored within it. The Maine was lying
quite close TO shore. and 1t would have
been very simple matter 10 direct one
of these fish torpedoes against her. AS
these torpedoes travel under water as well
as on the surface, II could have reached
the vessel without being seen or heard. If
the torpedo struck The end of the vessel
where the magazines were located the
double explosion is easily accounted for"
John Kelly, the driver of the patrol wa
gon at the police barracks, Is very much
exercised upon the subject of the Maine.

MAcKEREL FISHING IN ERIN.
The Curing Industry n Great Boon
to- That CountrN

The Irish mackerel fishing industry has
been made the matter of a special report
to the State Department by Consul
Swiney. who writes from Cork as fol-
lows:
.'Mackerel fishing in Ireland is practical
" confined TO this district. on the coasts
of counties Cork and Kenny. and is done
in the Spring and Autumn. The fish
taken in the Spring are generally sent
TO the English market fresh. but, owing
to the present demand in the United
States, those caught this Spring are be-
ing largely cured for that market. The
mackerel cured in Ireland in 1897 amount
ed to about 10000 barrels, nearly all be-
ing sent to the American market. The
Autumn fishing is principally done near
shore by small six-oared boats. of which
there are some 1900 engaged. Besides
these, there were. last year, of large
boats, twenty-four English. six Scotch,
1}5 ManX Qsle of Nam, and ninety-three
French.
THE development of the maekerel-cur-
ing industry on the southwest coast OF
Ireland is one of the greatest boens that
could have come to the country. On the
coasts of Cork and Kerry alone, about
930000 s145,995) is paid each year. be-
tween the months of August and Decem-
ber, as wages to the families of the fish
ermen and about e100,0o0 (s4s6.650) TO the
fishermen for fish. When il is remem-
bered that this money is put in circula-
ton in very poor district. it can easily
be seen to be boon to the poor people
which cannot well be oyerestimated.

Missing mt Santiago.

The official report of General Wheeler
as to his part in the two days battle
before Santiago bears out in every par
ticular what has been said of the lick
of organization in the med cal depart
ment of the army there. He recites
that, after the troops had secured their
advanced position, the officers and men
falling at every step under the heavy
fire of the Spaniards. he ins sled on his
command digging intrenchments to
hold what they had gained. He sp axis
of the exhausted conditions of the sci
diers and mentions that many had been
detailed TO carry back the wounded on
improvised litters
Since there is to be an invest CATION
OF the general hospital management
during this battle, it is pertinent to
inquire, Where were the men regularly
detailed for this work? Under the ad-
mirable system devised by the surgeon
general and approved by the War De-
partment, the regimental hospital was
virtually abolished and for the vision
hospital service three Per cent Of all the
enlisted men were TO be detached from
the companies. They were to be pro-
vided with litters and drilled in their
use, with bandages for the checking OF
hemorrhage, and the like. They were
supposed to keep at the heels of the
advancing line of battle and 10 pick
up the wounded as fast as they should
fall If the plan had been put INTO
force, there would have been litter
bearers enough to care for all the
wounded.
Nobody in an official place has tried
to account for the American soldiers
reported TO be missing" There were
more than sixty in one division. Some
of them were known to be wounded.
They were not taken as prisoners by
the enemy, for all of Gen. Torafs army
is in our hands and with them We
should have had any Americans they
might have captured. The correspond
ent of London paper who went
through the campaign is the only per-
son TO suggest an explanation, and he
offers ii because he can find no other.
He thinks the missing were wounded
and in their efforts to reach the rear
they were lost in the tall grass and.
being unable to proceed, starved 10
death This is horribly plausible.
Many of the wounded have said they
had great trouble in finding the rear
and the hospital. If it is a true soiu-
ton of the mystery, it must be ac-

did not provide for the removal of the

OF SICK SOLDIERS.
Martial Invalids the Santiago
Had No Medicine

When the San Marcos reaches New
York with its load of sick and convales-
cent soldiers, there may be scandal to
exceed those of the Concha and Seneca.
The sick on the San Marcos were brought
to Egmont Key on board the Santiago
and two other transports, which had
taken the horses belonging to Schwan's
brigade and Randolph's artillery and
some cattle to Santiago. 1t is said that
the transports We're in the condition of
unciean stables; that after discharGing
their cargo of horses and other animals
at Santiago they We're Immediately filed
with sick and wounded and sent back
without being cleansed, and with little
provision for the care of the sick. The

sick were transferred to the San Marcos
at Egmont Key, were almost unbear-
