The postponed hearing OF the ha-
beas corpus proceedings instituted
BY H. A. Weld and Mrs. W. B. Fer
guson for the recovery from Chief OF
Police John H. Fender, Of Alvira and
Daisy Alexander, the colored chill
dren, was taken up before Judge
Gest on the reconvening of the cir
cult court at O'Clock this.morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bingley were in
court.
C. B. Marshall. counsel for the de-
tense. stated that d. j. Jenkins,
president Of the jenkins Orphsnsge
at Charleston, s. C.. had been de-
lsyed in arriving in Rock Island on
account OF washout, and ne asked
that continuance bs allowed until
such time as he reached here.
Mr.. Weld and Adair Pleasants-the
latter is now assisting in attempt
ing to prevent the return Of the chill
dren to the Jenkins Orphanagc-
argued against further delay in the
proceedings. They contended that
Mr.. jenkins was not a protestant,
and had no evidence which would
enlighten the court in his disposition
Of the case. Mr.. Peasants said i,
was merely q question between the
Bingleys and the chief of police; if q

violated there was . cause for civil
action.

to visit Captain Concha, commander OF
the Admiral's flagship Maria Teresa.
and the other Spanish sick and wounded
at the naval hospital here.
The steamer flew her bunting in hon
or Of the Admiral. and a launch lay at
the pier to receive the distinguished
prisoners. Lieutenant Commander X.
NJ. G. Brown. retired. met the Admiral
and his son rs they stepped off the
steamer. and it was with difficulty that
they pushed their way through the
crowd.
At the naval hospital the Spanish Ad-
miral was received by Il guard Of honor.
and at once was conducted to Captain
Concha' room.
This was the first time they had met
since that fatal lash out of Santiago
harbor. The meeting was 4 pathetic
one. the Admiral and Captain Concia
embracing one another like children.
The Admiral then visited Lieutenant
\oval. of the Pluton. and August. of the
Nizcaya. and the scenes We're equally
affecting when their former chief entered
the ward where the Spanish sailors are.
Their faces lit up and they embraced
him as best they could. their JOY being
plainly visible. The -Admiral took lunch
with Medical Director Cleborne, and it
is said he will remain here several days.
Admiral Cervera and his son lunched
with Commodore Faruuhar ut the Navy
Yard. being taken there by medical iii
rector Cleborne III his private carriage.
At > O'Clock -Admira and Lieutenant
Cervera left for the Bay Line boat to
return to Annapolis. Several invita-
ions to visit nearby watering places
were extended. but were declined with
regrets. Both the Admiral and his son
were attired III civilian dress and at
tracted little attention from those una
ware of their presence III the city.
