THE B0TKIN CASE.
Hearing on the Application for Writ Of
Habeas Corpus.

Hearing on the Application for Writ Of
Habeas Corpus.
San Francisco. Oct. 1.-THE petition OF
Mrs. Cordelia Botkin for a writ of habeas
corpus commenced to-day. Judges Cook.
Wallace. Borden. Trout and Seawell sit
ting en- banc. District Attorney Hosmer
contended that legally, though not In
fact. Mrs. Botkin was In Della ware, and
therefore fugitive from justice. because
the climax of the crime had occurred in
Delaware. Attorney Knight for the de-
fense held an opposite view and protested
against Mrs. Botkin being taken to state
where she had never been and tried by
the laws OF that state. Mr. knight dis
cussed the laws of habeas corpus. citing
decisions by the California supreme
court showing that persons had the right
OF trial In their own vicinage, and that
persons charged with crime I'm one county
could not be tried for the same I'm another,
holding that the same law held good re-
garding the divisions of states. Then fol-
lowed an argument by the attorneys on
both sides as TO where the crime had been
committed. the prosecution declaring that
the crime had been committed In the state
of Delaware.
AT the conclusion of Hosmers argument
General Chamberlain. special counsel for
Chief Lees. addressed the court. He ad-
hered to the same line OF argument pur-
sued by his answer. and had not conclud-
ed when an adjournment was taken until
$50 tomorrow morning.

4 SPANISH FAIRY TALE
Adapted by the War Department
for Home Consumption.
WOULDN'T GIVE UP CUBA
n the Spaniards Had Known the Condi-
ton OF the American Army as Told
In the Newspapers. They Would
Not Have surrendered.

Washington. Oct. 1a.-Information
high officer Of the Spanish army very
recently made the statement that had
the Spaniards been aware Of the con-
dition OF the American army. its in
ability to Withstand the hardships of
a campaign. Its lack Of medical and
as told in the American newspapers.
the Spaniards would not have given
up. but would have continued the fight-
ing for a long time to come, fully be-
lieving that they would have been able
to prevent the capture OF Cuba by
American armes. This statement Is
known TO have been made to the Amer
lean officers now in Cuba and causes
some uneasiness in Official circles. as II
may mean that the Spaniards are not
yet ready to yield the island, under the
terms of the protocol.
II Is believed by officers in Washing
ton that had II not been for the out
cry made regarding the army and the
conduct OF the war, there never
would have been any question raised
by the Spanish commissioners regard
ing the Cuban debt 1t In pointed out
that under the protocol the sole ques-
tiou ttIt IoT tne commissioners was the
settlement Of the Philippines and that
nothing was said about the Cuban debt
or any other Cuban question. BY those
who are In a position to know. II is as
serted that the Madrid government
was aware when II asked for peace,
and when negotiations were opened.
that 1t was useless to ask that the Gu
ban debt be taken into consideration
by any commission and that IL Is only
since the reports of the bad condition
OF the United States army have reached
Madrid that the question has been rails
ed.
Another matter that causes grave
consideration In the war department
In the temper of the Spaniards in Cuba
and the fear that the impression which
now prevails there may lead them to
regard the American troops OF no ac-
count and to act accordingly after the
occupation by the United States. The
matter has been discussed In the war
department and IL Is probable that
when the troops are sent to Cuba there
will be a force OF such size and charac-
ter as to give the islanders n differ
ent impression Of the United States
soldiers than they now entertain.
THE impression among the Spaniards
in Cuba" said an officer In a position
to know what is going on. ''is that the
American soldiers are weak and puny.
incapable OF withstanding the hard
ships and whom IL will be an easy mat
ter to vanquish. This feeling may make
IL difficult for the Americans at first.
This impression is due to the charges
that have been made against the war
department with such virulence and in
sistence during the past few months"

Coutradicts Seaman.

Washington. Oct. 1.-THE subsistence
department OF the army has a statement
refuting some features of the testimony of
Major Seaman, surgeon. before the war
investigating commission. Major Seaman
said no one could get supplies for the sick
from the commssary of subsistence. yet
when he left Ponce the chief commissary
there had at his disposal s2A.0o0 subject
to requisition of surgeons for just such
supplies as Seaman said he wanted. Ma
jor Daily. surgeon. who came with the
troops about the same time. made n requi-
sition and secured 81. 600 for the purchase
of supplies for the sick and turned the
unexpended balance into the department
here when he arrived.

IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
THE COMMISSION INVESTIGATES AF-
FAIRS AT JACKsONvILLE.
Was In Relation To the Climate.
Patients Well Cared For.

Jacksonville. Fla. Oct. 1.-THE war
investigating commission spent the af-
ternoon inspecting the camps in the
immediate vicinity of Jacksonville. The
commission interviewed privates and
officers alike and made personal visits
to the quarters of the men and their
commander and made special inquiry
into the method of conducting the hos
pitals. They found the patients to be
apparently well cared for and content-
ed. The patients were all found occupy
ing clean beds or cots. and In no in
stance was a hospital tent or pavilion
found to be without a floor
But one complaint WAS heard In the
entire round, and this was evidently
not made in a spirit of fault finding.
Colonel Jones of South Carolina found
fault with the climate, saying that fully
20 per cent. OF his men were III largely
on this account. He also said some ra-
tions OF refrigerator beef had been re-
ceived in bad condition. which was due
to the weather. Summing up the result
Of the inspection, General Dodge, the
chairman, said:
We have compared notes. and after
the days work we found that complaint
was made from but one regiment dur
ing the day. We shall tomorrow begin
the inquiry by examining the men un-
der oath. and we hope IL there are any
shortcomings, to uncover them. We
find the sick doing exceptionally well.
and we are pleased TO congratulate their
physicians on the excellent arrange
ments made for their care"
This statement was made in the pres
ence OF the members OF the commission
and was indorsed by them.

vorce Proposition.

vorce Proposition.
Washington. Oct. 17.-Important action
was taken to-day by the respective bodies
Of the Episcopal council here on two sub
jects which have caused much discussion
during the deliberation of those two bod
les. The house OF bishops. by a vote of n
to a. rejected propositions bearing on the
subject OF re-marriage OF divorced per-
sons. designed to take the place of those
now in existence. The present canons on
that subject therefore remain In force.
In the house of deputies. after a debate
which was continued for several days.
a step I'm the direction OF church unity
was taken. The discussion of this ques-
ton was precipitated by the offering Of
an amendment TO the constitution by the
Rev. DIR. Huntington OF New York. While
agreeing with the views, the deputies
finally decided to adopt a briefer amend
ment offered by Mr.. Faude Of Minnesota.
follows:
but provisions may be made by CT non
for the temporary use Of other forms
and directories OF worship by congrega-
tions not already In union with this
church who are willing to accept the spir-
ituai oversight of the bishops of the dio-
cese."
The amendment II adopted by the bish-
ops. will go to the dioceses for action. and
must be passed by the next general con-
vention before II becomes operative.

Upon this showing an order to show
cause was issued. Then f. s. Booth
hled an answer by Intervention to the
above and the balance of the day was
devoted to arguments pro and con. Mr.
walsh moved to strike out the entire
answer. This was denied. Then he at
tackled Ii by sections. the counsel on
the other side opposing. The judges
announced briefly at the conclusion of
the arguments late this afternoon they
decided Hogan's nomination was null
and void and would allow the writ to
stand.
I'VE are agreed" announced the
judges. that IL Hogan's nomination by
the central committee was made before
Hartman's declination (and admitting
this to be a good declination) was filed
with the Office of secretary of state.
that Hogan's nomination was null and
void"
After hearing evidence the court de-
cided that Holmes nomination was val
Id. Tomorrow the Injunction pro-
ceedings against the Hartman nomina-
tion of Campbell and Pigott will be
heard.
In the light Of to-day's ruling the
court will probably hold that those
nominations on the silver republican
tickets were also null and void. That
will leave the silver republican ticket
with two candidates, Brantly and
Holmes.
Senator Mantle, who was witness
to-day. when asked tonight IL the sill
yer republican. central committee
would be called together to name some
one to I'LL the nomination that is va
cant. said he did not know: he had the
matter under advisement. The belief
is that the committee will fill the va
some time within 10 days before cleo
ton and that the populists will do like
wise, since the decision as stated prac-
tically knocks Hogan off the populist
ticket. On the whole. while there was
much talk and learned argument to-
day. IL is hard to say just what was
accomplished. since the respective COM
mittees still can fill the vacancies.
