GILLETT ARRESTED.
Reported That the Fugitive Cattle King
Has Been Apprehended.

Kansas City, December LIT is stated
here tonight that Grant C. Gillett the
cattleman, whose financial collapse last
week revealed the fact that in less than
three years he had piled up an Indebtedness
of more than s1,5OO,OOO, is under arrest some
where in the southwest.
Charles A. Shaeffer president of the
George Holmes Commission company
swore out warrant here today charging
Gillett with having obtained s19,5OO by false
pretenses The warrant was placed in the
hands of an officer, and the officer left the
city tonight. M. A. Ficke, attorney for
the Holmes company, tonight made this
statement:
"Gillett is under arrest in Mexico. An
officer has gone for him, and we will get
him back, we hope, at very early date"
In other quarters 1t is stated almost as
positively that Gillett is not in Mexico, but
that he is in custody on American soil; that
he has large sum of money in his possess
sion, and his captors are negotiating with
his creditors here to exact a stated percent
age of the money as their pr.ce for turning
Gillett and the funds over to his creditors.

SKATER REPLIES.
Says His Dispatches Are Sufficient An
swer to Simpsons Charges.

New York, December 1.-Gen. W. r. Shat
ter was today shown a copy of Admiral
Sampson's report on the operations of the
United States fleet at Santiago after the
destruction of the Spanish squadron, in
which the admiral denounced false the
suggestions, which he attributed to General
Shafter, that the navay was unwilling to
cooperate in forcing an entrance to the
harbor, and intimated that the services of
the navy were not properly recognized by
the commander of the land forces.
General Shafter did not conceal the fact
that Admiral SIMPSONS criticisms annoyed
him greatly, but he declined to go into any
extended reply to them.
This controversy has been fought over
BEFORE" he said 1.-The records speak for
themselves. My letters and dispatches to
Admiral Sampson, as given in his report,
tell the story. 1 have nothing to add to
them"
The general went over the newspaper
synopsis of the admrals report, and point
ed out that the correspondence given there
in showed that he had requested Admiral
Sampson to send a representative to the
ceremonies of the surrender of Santiago,
and that he did not sign the terms of sur
render himself.
Gas did not sign them, I certainly would
not consent for Admiral Sampson to do so,"
he said

Carlinville, ILL.,, December 1.-The Virden

Judge Shirley this evening. The grand jury

far as 1t was able to ascertain, returned
true bills against the principal participants
In the tragedy of October IL at Virden. Ten

were returned. Against John r. Tanner,
governor of Illinois, there are three counts
for palpable omission of duty and malfea-
sance In office. Fred w. Lukins, general

pany, is charged with manslaughter on two
counts.

ployes of the Chicago-V -Virden Coal compa-
ny, testified that they were intimidated and
prevented from following their legitimate
employment by an armed body of men
numbering 1000, who unlawfully and felo-
niously were assembled in Virden; that the
governor had been notified by the sheriff of
Macoupin county that no protection was to
be had from the county, and was earnest
ly importuned for state assistance.

COURTMARTIAL LAW.
Statute of 1887 Revived by French
Chamber of Deputies.

Paris, December 1.-The senate this af-
ternoon adopted the motion of M. Constans,
placing colrtnartial urder the operation of
the law of 1887, which abolished the secret
examination of accused persons prior to
trial.
An amendment proposing to retain secret
examination in cases involving national
danger was opposed by the minister of
war, M. DeFreycinet, and rejected.
M. Waldeck-Rosseau demanded urgency
for proposal to empower the court of cas-
sation to order the stay of any prosecution
calculated to hamper a revision cause.
One hundred and thirteen voted for and
113 against the motion for urgency, which
was therefore lost The tie voting results
in the measure being referred to a special
committee, so that 1t cannot be passed soon
enough to apply to the Picquart case.
Legal opinion leans to the view that M.
Dupuy, leading member, was mistaken yes
terday in declaring that the court of cassa-
tion had power to delay the Picquart court
martial, and it was on the theory that the
premier had erred that M. Waldeck-Ros-
seau introduced his BILL
