was at the Western Hotel, accommodating
more evidence. He subsequently turned
over to the Grand Jury all the evidence
peared before it, There was a state
ment given to the jury as to what Mr..
Weinstock was aware of.
INFORMATION OFFERED.
Mr.. Nelson offered in evidence the in
formation gathered by defendants and
presented in written form to the Grand
Jury. Mr.. Johnson objected on the
ground that the alleged evidence was
in the shape of letter written by wit
ness, was hearsay, and was a self-serv-
ing declaration.
Mr.. Nelson argued that they showed
that defendants were investigating cor
ruption in city politics and were acting
in good faith.
The court sustained the objection, and
witness resumed his testimony.
A long argument ensued between
counsel in which all participated as to
which part of the article was libelous,
and as to what evidence could be in
troduced in mitigation or justification.
The court ruled that he would pass
upon the points as they arose, and that
witness must confine himself to the
facts and circumstances surrounding
the publication
WHY Won ARNOLD CAME.
Witness said that Won Arnold was
brought here originally to investigate
charges made by several persons Of
Matchmaking by John A Sheehan.
Mr.. Johnson said this action was in
relation to Mr. Weinstock, and not in
relation to charges of blackmail against
Sheehan.
The testimony was admitted and wit
ness said he went to San Francisco
to see Judge benson, and in conse-
quence of being directed to Stillwell
Won Arnold was sent up, and, knowing
that no testimony of one man would
be taken, they tried to get evidence
by correspondence. Later they had five
other detectives sent up, who We're at
the Western Hotel, and suspected par
ties We're conversed with and short
hand notes taken Of their statements
by concealed stenographer. Finally
the reporters We're sent out with orders
to interview various parties and write
down their reports of interviews in aft
davit form for further use None of
these reporters knew of the detectives
or of Won Arnold's identity until he
went before the Grand Jury The inter-
views continued until March 18th The
investigations continued for four or five
days after the publication of the first
article.
The court then took an adjournment
until next Wednesday at 10 a. m.

FATALITY ATTENDING A NAME.
All the Male Descendants of Scott
Have Died Without Issue.

London Sketch: 1t was SCOTS dearest
wish TO found house which should carry
on the traditions of his great ancestors,
who were cadets of the SCOTS of Harden,
now represented by Baron Poiwarth.
Scott reared AbbOtstOrd at enormous cost,
but there his work began and ended. His
eldest son, who succeeded him in the bar
onetcy, survived him only 10 years, and
died in 1871, unmarried, at the Cape. And
so the baronetcy became extinct. His
second son died at far-off Teheran also
unmarried. So the name of Scott was left
to his daughter, Charlotte, who married
Lockhart, the biographer of Sir Walter
the name Scott. but, with all the extra
ordinary fatality that had overcome his
uncleS, he, too, died unmarried at the
age of 20, and so the estate passed to his
sister, Charlotte, who married J. R. Hope,
y. c., a member of the Hopetoln family
and he. of course. adopted the name
Scott They had three children but their
only son. died in childhood, and once more
a woman came to rule. This was Mary
Monica.
In 1874 she married Joseph Constable
Maxwell (third son of Lord Herries),
who, as a matter of course, adopted the
name Scott They have had six children.
the eldest of whom, Walter Joseph Max
well-Scott. born in 1919, is in the army.
ing. Mary Josephine, who was married
last week, was born in 1876 Thus 1t VIII
be seen that the present generation of
SCOTS have been in turn Lockharts,
Hopes and MaxWells. These are all ex-
cellent names. with honorable histories
behind them. and yet, in strict genoa
logical sequence, the present generation,
to which the bride of today belongs, is
very far removed from the author OF

fective.
These expeditions will consist of
small parties, probably with many Gu

in communication with the insurgents.

The Cubans west of Havana are par
ticularly in need of arms and ammu-
milton, and it is understood they are
to be supplied first, particularly as
their numbers are limited. 1t is pos
sible the insurgents in Pinar Del Rio
can be supplied in this manner with
out sending a large force to that part
of Cuba.
In military circles it is asserted that
the date for starting the regulars from

ASSIGNMENTS OF GENERALS.
Problem With Which Alger and Miles.
Are Engaged


Washington, May 7.-Secretary Alger
and General Miles spent some time to-
day considering the question of assign
ments of the major generals to the
seven army corps into which the regu-
lar and volunteer branches of the army
are to be divided. Some of these it is
said, have been finally determined
upon, but the announcement of the Sc
lections made is withheld for the pres
ent. There are II major generals in
all and only seven corps, and as every
general would prefer to be given one of
the higher commands, considerable diff
ficulty is experienced in arriving at
conclusions. Then, too, there are OBJ
stacles to be met in the way of de-
signaling the territory to be embraced
in the scope of each corps. In dealing
with this feature the officials have
about decided to make arrangement
of the eight military departments of
the army.
This is regarded as necessary, be-
cause of the prospective growth of the
military branch to 100000 men. A
change in the divisional lines will, it is
said, be conducive to better administra-
tive management and is considered de-
sirable from a military and defensive
standpoint. Some of the major generals,
and also some of the brigediers are
to be stationed at Washington and at
Chickamauga, where it is said the
larger portions of the volunteer army
will be modified.
Senator Sewell of New Jersey. who
was nominated to be a major general,
has had a command picked out for
him, and Secretary Alger today wired
him with a view to learning his wishes
it. The secretary declined
to make public what the department
had in store for the senator.

Washington, May THE Post tomor-

Ali day yesterday, following the re-
ceipt of official advices from Dewey,
important conferences were in progress
at the White House and the war and
navy departments. AS the result of
these conferences, plans have been per-
fected for the retention of the Philip
pines. the immediate invasion of Cuba
and the occupation of Porto Rico. Tele-
grams have been sent in all directions
advising military and naval command
ers of the adoption of an aggressive
policy, and in six weeks the war ought
to be at an end. in the meantime
SPANS fleet on the Atlantic will be
sent to the bottom of the ocean.
1T is to be no silken glove which the
United States will stretch over the Pa
cific. 1t Will be a hand of mail. Armed
men are to be sent with guns and bay
onets and light artillery and the eXpe-
dition is to be no summer picnic.
The military governor of the islands
Will probably be General Henry c. Mer-
RAM, a brave fighter and a fine exc
cutive officer. There is to be no turn
ing the islands over to a provisional or
experimental government of the insuT-
gents, as will be the case in Cuba. Such
a step would endanger the lives of
Spaniards as well as Europeans, and
would lose to the United States all the
fruits of Dewey's victory. The flag of
the United States is to float over the
islands in fact as we'll as IN name.
There is TO be a. new power in the
Pacific, 'all the rest of the world to the
contrary Notwithstanding.

Havana, May AT $3.50 o'clock this
morning two American. cruisers which
were pursuing the Spanish schooner
Santiago. bound from Yucatan with
sailed fish, approached the Vedade
batteries which fired at them when
about five miles off shore. Six shots
were discharged at the Americans. A
local paper says that one of the pro-
jectiles carried off the smokestack and
one of the mastS OF the American
cruiser which was in the lead, and
that another proiectile fell upon the
deck of the other cruiser. The Ameri-
cans replied with twelve shots, but the
projectiles fell two miles off the bat
teries and the cruisers retreated I'M
der full steam. One of the shots from
the batteries fell near one of the Amer
lean vessels. covering her deck with
water and it is asserter positively that
a hole was made in her hull below the
water line.
The Literal San CARO- Vedado was
full of people watching the encounter
through opera glasses and applauding
the firing of the Spaniards.
AT 1870 o'clock the Santiago entered
the harbor IN tow of the Susie. One
of the American shots carried off a
boat from the schooners stern. 1t is
reported that one of the cruisers was
so damaged that she will be towed to
Key West. She will probably leave
tomorrow.
The lower house of the colonial par
lament was definitely organized today.
The ceremony was q solemn one. The
members of the chamber took the oath
kneeling before a crucifiX, and with
their hands on their hearts, swore f1del-
ity to the constitution of Spain and
to maintain her sovereignty and
pledged themselves to aid the govern
ment to the utmost of their power. The
senate will be organized Monday.
