mon mode Of requesting the with
drawal Of q minister ora consul ls
through the representative Of the
government making the request,
which in this case is Senor DuBosc,
the Spanish charge o'a1fairs. Mr..
DuBosc had received no instructions
on the subject and was in complete
ignorance Of the demands made
through Minister Woodford. The
othor suggsstion Of tho Spanish gov.
ernment-that relief supplies should
not bo sent in war vessels-did not
como through Minister Woodford, as
tho Madrid dispatches state, but was
presented by Senor DuBoso to the
state department last Friday.
The responses IN both cases went
direct to Minister Woodford. There
was no loss Of time, however, in as-
sembling q special session Of the

ference between tho President aud
his cabinet advisors individually. In
the prot s. against the Montgomery

with Secretary Long, who in turn
called in Capt. Crowniugshield, chief
Of the bureau OF navigation. There
appeared to be no reason why
change should bo made IN the plan
for sending these ships on tho relief
mission and without attaching grave
significance to the request of tho

mado that the plans for the trip were
completed and that tho stay Of tho
ships would be as brief and Of the

MARTHA MOR6lN'S STORY.
Court. and while - the witness
stand Telis . Pitifsi Tale Of
Hew Her Life Has Been Wrecked

Martha Morgan, z young woman VINO
was arrested by the police Tuesday while
wandering about the streets in foriorn
and helpless condition, was yesterday COM
mitted to the insane asylum by Judge Ben
son. AT her trial before the board OF ex-
amining physicians the unfortunate woman
told one OF the most pitifui stories OF
friendless misfortune that has been heard
in the probate court. where such cases are
of daily occurrence. for years. II may,
perhaps. be that her msfortunes are
wholly or partly Authorizations OF a dis
eased brain, but the heart-hroken woman's
story of error and consequent parental I'M
forgiveness will not be effaeed soon from
the memory OF those who heard II.
1t seems from her testimony that she
started in to earn her own living several
years ago as a domestic servant. As time
went on she went astray. She drifted
about from one place TO another until she
finally became, as she testified. the mis-
tress of man named Ed Douglass in Vic
foria. So far as her testimony showed.
she had not abandoned herself to a life Of
shame and still retained her love for her
home and entertained desire TO visit it
again. Accordingly early last week, she
said she obtained from Douglass suffi-
cient money for her expenses and went TO
the little mining town of Newcastle, where
she says her father, Dave Morgan, and her
married sister reside.
Upon her arrival there. she said, she
found her fathers door shut to her, ana
she was refused entrance 10 her sister 5
house Disheartened. she returned to Sc
attic, with only 40 cents of her money left.
On the train she met young woman Who
gave her the address of charitable in
stitution. and upon her arrival here She
says she applied to that organization foE
aid which was refused.
Her money spent, she wandered aim
lessly about, brooding over her troubles.
until at last her mind gave way 10 a GER
tain degree, and she was taken in charge
by the police. During her trial she show
ed no signs Of insanity except deep meian-
choly and remorse, and il was only after
some hesitation that her commitment was
recommended by the physicians
II Is thought the woman's insanity is
but temporary, and that she will soon re-
cover under treatment. She says she does
not drink or use drugs. She is y years

VICTORY FOR ROBERTSON.
Court Refuses to Grant King County
N New Trial.

q New Trial.
In the suit of s. J. Robertson VS.. King
county, Judge Jacobs yesterday refused
the defendant a new trial. Robertson is
the ex-road supervisor who sued to compel
payment of large amount OF road war
rants which the county was refusing to
honor. pending an investigation into their
validity. it being suspected that they were
void by reason of the alleged misdoings
of ex-county Commissioner Heaton, upon
whose authority they were issued.
Robertson won a substantial victory be-
fore the court when the case was tried,
and obtained judgment for over half of
his claim. This fact alone, ii is said, pre-
vented his being indicted by the grand
jury a few days later, when his connec-
ton with ex-Comnlissioner Heaton in his
official doings as road supervisor was I'M
der Investigation. The indictment was
actually drawn. Ii is said. but suppressed
Tor the reason that the result of the civil
action had exonerated Robertson from the
charges preferred against him.
The suit was bitterly contested by the
county, which claimed that large
amount of the work Robertson and the
persons whose assigned claims he sued
upon had never been authorized by the fun
board of commissioners. This contention
was again presented in the arguments
upon the motion for a new trial yesterday.
The case will. probably be appealed to the
supreme court.
Yesterday was an unlucky day for the
county in its legal matters. as Judge Ja-
COPS also granted a new trial In the case
OF ]. A. McHugh against the county. a
suit in which the plaintiff sued for the
value of stone furnished for county road
work and in which the county was sue
cessful at the trial.
