ORDER RESClNDED.
Gen. Henry Meets With a Legal Set
back In Porto Rico.

SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO. Dec. 28.-
Gen. Guy V. Henry, governor of the military
department of Porto Rico, has withdrawn the
order recently issued by him revoking all the
concessions and franchises granted by the
Spanish authorities before the surrender of
the island to the United States. The intention
of the original order of revocation was to de-
prive Spanish franchise holders of the ad-
vantage given them over Americans. The
order supplemented recent orders from the
war department Its cancellation by Gen.
Henry is on account Of the legal issues
raised.
There is no foundation whatever for any
charges that the United States authorities
have inteTfered or are interfering with re-
ligion in Porto Rico. All Gen Henry would
do is to prohibit the infiammatory utterances
of the Spanish priests.

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-12-29

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The above
dispatch was received at the war de-
partment just before noon.
There is a good deal of anxiety in
official circles over recent events at
Iloilo.
The officials at the war department
still decline to make public Gen. Otis
telegram of yesterday, but there is 10
doubt that he is meeting with great
difficulty in his effort to secure the re-
lease of the Spanish prisoners held by
the Fflipinos 1t begins to appear
clearly that a considerable element
among the Filipino leaders-probablv a
majority-are disposed to use these
unfortunate prisoners as a basis for
negotiations with the United States
government, making their release con-
ditional upon certain more or less i'm
portant concessions demanded by
them.
1t is not yet foregone conclusion
that terms cannot be arranged by
private conferences in Manila, to Sc
cure the release Of these men, but the
United States government, being now
pledged by treaty to free them, must
resort to other means if peaceful rep
reservations fail. Gen. Otis has been
instructed on this point and the war
department has confidence in his eX-
perience and sound Judgment, and, be-
lieving that from his presence on the
scene he is better capable Of dealing
with the situation than officials here,
has confined itself to a statement of
what is expected to be done towards
securing the prisoners, leaving it to
Gen. Otis to devise the ways and
means and carry out the plans.
SITUATION COMPLICATED.
The evacuation by the Spaniards of
all the Philippine ports, reported by
Gen. Otis, although doubtless inspired
by a desire to secure their safety by
concentration, undoubtedly has done
much to complicate the problem already
presented to the war department of
extending the military jurisdiction Of
the United States over the islands. It
will now be necessary to expedite the
execution of the original plans, and it
may be fully expected that within a
week important events will have hap
pened in the Philippines.
1t is presumed that Cen Otis will de-
mand the surrender of Iloilo into his
hands, and this demand will raise the
issue between the insurgents and our
own government of possession of the
islands. The province of Iloilo is set
down in the official directories as hav-
ing a population Of Az, 900, and it is the
second seaport in Importance in the
Philippine group. 1t is located on a
river navigable for vessels of fifteen
feet draught, so that very few of our
gunboats would be available to assist
the troops in case 1t should be neces-
sary to take forcible possession of the
city,.

ware Attorney General Opens the
Argument for the Prosecution.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 2S.-This was
the most interesting day in the Botlzin
case since the trial Of the woman for
the murder of Mrs. Dunning COM
menced
The proceedings opened this morning
with an argument by Attorney General
White, of Delaware, for the prosecu-
ton. Mr.. White addressed the jury
quietly and proceeded to review the
testimony brought out during the trial
He called attention to the chain of cir
cumstantial evidence against Mrs. Bot
kin, and said that, if the jury believed
the evidence of the witnesses for the
prosecution, then Mrs. Botkin must be
convicted of murder in the first de-
gree. Mr.. White dWelt upon the awful
ness of the crime and the unsuspecting,
defenSeless condition of the victims
His argument lasted all the morning,
and during its progress Mrs. Botkin
listened most attentiveIy. AS Mr.
White concluded she leaned her head
on her arms and seemed to be greatly
affected
At the afternoon session Attorney
George knight made the argument for
the defense. Mr.. Knights reputation
as an orator and ability as a criminal
lawyer attracted an enormous crowd to
the court room. Many prominent at
torneys were in attendance, in addition
to many well known citizens. Mr..
Knight talked for nearly three hours
and endeavored to convince the jury
of the weakness of the prosecutions
case and the lack Of motive for COM
mittfng such a crime by Mrs. Botkin.
Mr.. Knight urged the jury not to be in
f1uenced by the recent acquittal of Wal
ter Rosser, the Tennessee soldier who
murdered an inoffensive citizen of San
Francisco, and referred to the Nav
brick and Dreyfus cases as instances
of suffering of innocent people because
of public opinion. Mr.. Knight de-
nounced Dr. Bishop, the Dover physi-
clan who attended the poisoned women
and was most bitter in his condemna-
tion of the methods Of the San Fran
cisco police.

Burglars Again in Town.

Wednesday night, sometime between
p. m, and a. m burglars broke into
the store of Messenger q Co. helping
themselves TO a little of everything from
one end of the store to the other
They gained access by removing pane
of glass in the back of the store and
raising the window They took suits
of clothes, overcoats, underwear socks,
gloves, shirts, neckties, jewelry ,umbrel-
las, hats and suspenders. No trace of
the thieves has as yet been obtained.
The value of the goods taken will reach
$500 or $500 and possibly more. They
left night lamp burning on one of the
counters and one of the fellows left on
on the floor little old brown cap which
A. j. Hall has for future reference. Not
even how many were there is known.
They covered their retreat well and the
cap may be only bluff.

Nj. v Sadler, the news agent at this
place, showed much enterprise last
Saturday night, by going to Saginaw
and bringing the Sunday Courier Herald
TO Alma for delivery on Sunday. Mr..
Sadler sent Brooks Hammond to Sag
NAV with a rig Saturday afternoon and
went himself on the evening train and
delivered the papers. The evening De-
troit papers failed TO arrive Saturday and
conse quently the streets were filled with
people anxiously waiting for the latest
war news upon Mr.. Sadler's arrival and
the papers disappeared as though they
were on fire Mr.. Sadler has made ar
rangements whereby he will establish a
permanent route commencing next Sun
day and will deliver the Detroit Sunday
papers all along the route. He will leave
Saginaw at 6 20 in the morning and
arrive here about u 80, and will con.
tinue the route as long as the people pat
ronize it enough 10 make it pay.

enterprise and predict that it will meet
with success, for in this way we will be
able to get the latest war news and get

est and Importance attached to that day
and age of girl. She was invited to q
neighbor's early in the evening, and

men and ladies near her age, who sailed
forth from large bed room, where they
had been concealed, with shout and a
cheer that revealed the importance of
the occasion. The evening was spent
with plays and festivities such as that
age knows how to get up and cannot
well dispense with. Refreshments had
not been overlooked by the visiting party
but hao been brought and were served.
1t was pleasant and long to be remem-

Blue and Gray

The well filed opera house Saturday
evening gave testimony to the anticlpa'
ton of the Alma people and their conf
dence in the ability of those having the
rendering of the blue and Gray" IN
charge.
The whole play was rendered very
satisfactorily and reflected much credit
to Mr.. Cobb, under whose management
it was produced, and also to Miss Taylor
who had the arrangements in charge
acting for the w. Il. G.
The entertainment was produced with
out any bad breaks and few cues had &c
be given, which is something remarkable
for play of such length and intricacy
The efficiency with which Mr.. Divine
took the part, Randolph Peyton showed
not only much study but talent and
ability, marking him as no amateur
Miss Holiday also took the part, Edith
Raymond in a perfect manner and
highly pleased the audience with her
acting. Dewitt Vought did remarkably
we'll, especially so when it is taken into
consideration the time he had at his dis
posal for preparation. During most of
the time Of rehearsing Mr.. Vought was
at Lansing and had but two opportuni-
ties of rehearsing with the other mem
bers of the play. Geo. Taylor as Squire
Raymond and Miss Osborn as Mrs Ray
mond took their parts very nicely, and
j. Fatty as Sergt. McGaw, j. T. Sartor
as Uncle Ned, Carts Brown as Mike
Casey and Iva Salter as Silence Short
represented their characters more like
professionals than amateurs, and with
Mr.. Cobb as lothian relieved the monot-
ony Of the play by their comedy work.
The other members took their parts ex-
ceedingly well and nothing bat praise
can be given for the entire performance.
The tableaux were all very pretty and
fitted the scenes perfectly.
In reference to the gun drill by the
members of the Alma Fire Department
we can but quote the words of gentle
man calling at the office few days ago,
who said 1.-the drill was on a par with
that Of the regular troops at TT. Wayne. F"
