Gillette Herzog had legal right
to guard, then Mr.. Morrison, a
a lawyer, was perfectly justifie
: in engaging himself to them, an,
. undertaking to direct a just an,
lawful settlement of the contro
versy between them and tn,
county, The representative o
the Gillette-Herzog company
during the consultation, gave MIR
Morrison to understand that wher
the time for legal action came, he
would be engaged to look after
the Gillette Herzog interests.
The question of the legality OF
the county bonds being then be-
fore the supreme court, it could
not be definitely known whether
or not there would be any cause
for litigation, so the matter was
permitted to rest. The decision
of the supreme court was to the
effect that the bonds were illegal,
because the warrants issued to
Gillette Herzog were illegal.
This gave rise to further legal
action on the part of Gillette
Herzog, and they next appear be-
fore the board of county commits
sioners, through their attorney,
Mr.. Edgar Wilson, and without
any explanation at all to Mr.. Nor
rison. According to all the evil
dence, not even disputed, Mr..
Morrison had been consulted pro-
fessionally, and was given to I'M
derstand that he would be expect
ed to look aster Gillette-Herzog's
interests when the occasion arose.
He found he had been uncerimo-
niously dropped from the case.
Then he wrote to Messrs. Gillette
to ascertain the cause of
it and to whom he was indebted
for such kindness. Messrs. Gil !
ette-Herzog assumed an air of
Indignation over this very proper
and courteous inquiry, and replied
n an insinuatingly insulting man
1er, closing with the significant
statement that Mr.. Morrison's let
er, together with the reply, had
been referred to ''Mr. Gwinn who
vas chairman of the board" and
lis familiar with the whole trans
lction." This brought forth a
omewhat caustic reply from Mr..
Morrison, and there the matter
.nded.

The courtesy and consideration shown
Admiral Cervera by our authorities will
receive the cordial approval of the Amer
lean people. Cervera made gallant fight,
and Americans honor courage and devo-
ton, even when displayed against them
selves. 1t is not In the Anglo Saxon blood
to crow over fallen foe or to hit an enemy
when he is down, and the captured Span
iards need have no fear of ill-treatment by
their victors. The bsrbarous warfare which
they have been waging against the Cubans
and which the Cubans have been waging
against them may have led the Spaniards to
expect the same sort of thing from United
States troops and officers, but they have
been pleasantly undeceived, and the lesson
In kindness and humanity which they have
been given may not be without good effect
Cruelty has no place in the code of civilized
war and the bravest are always the most
chivalric and magnanimous.

Wednesday morning President Mckinley
was notified of the assent of the Spanish
authorities to an exchange OF Lieut. Hobson,
the hero of the Merrimac, and his crew. 1t
was most welcome tidings for the President,
who has ielt keen anxiety over the safety Of
the Merrimac heroes. He took occasion to
express his relief to several of those who
conferred with him, stating his profound
qualification that Hobson and his men would
soon be released and returned to their coun.
try in safety.

safe. Two are slightly wounded, but
Lieutenant Hobson escaped without
scratch. This almost incredibly good
news was brought out this afternoon to
Rear Admiral Sampson by Admiral Cor

Admiral Ceryera," said Captain Bus

During the day the Merrimac was

BY noon officers and men feared the

a little black tug flying Il white flag was

over the side of the New York hardly
excited the surprise that might have
been expected.

CARRANzA's BRIEF RESPITE.
Declares His Letter Has Been Incor
rectly Translated

Washington, d. c., June 6.-Lieut.
Carranza and Senor Dubosc, who are
conducting their Spanish operations from
Montreal, have succeeded in obtaining a
brief respite from expulsion, through the
denial by Carranza of the accuracy Of
certain features of the letter attributed
to him. The British authorities acted
Oh the assumption that the translation
of the Carranza letter was correct and
that thus there was no doubt that the
Spanish officials were using Canada as
a base for hostile action against the
United States But, since a question is
raised as TO the accuracy of the trans
lation, no step is likely to be taken to-
ward n forcible expulsion until the trans
lation is established as correct. The
Carranza denial raises a question of We
racity, which can be readily settled by
the production of the original letter.
This is understood to be in the hands of
the secret service branch of the treas
ury. When the accuracy of the trans
lation is established the British authori-
ties will act promptly.

DEWEY's PLANS WORKING.

Insurgents Conducting Military Opera
tions While he Awaits Arrival of
Troops.
Washington, d. c.. June 6-After a
lot of conflicting rumors of naval engage
ments, the landing of troops and such
matters, the Navy Department at
o'clock posted the following buletin:
Admiral Dewey reports that the in
surgents have been actively engaged
within the province Of CaYite during the
past week. They have won several
victories, taken prisoners abodr 800
men. fifty officers, of the Spanish troops.
not native. The arsenal of Cavite has
been prepared for occupation by the Uni
ted States troops upon their arrival on
transports
Admiral Sampson is engaged in ar
ranging with Admiral Cervera for the.
exchange of Naval Constructor Hohson
and the men with him, now prisoners
at Santiago for some of the officers and
men held prisoners by the United States
at Fort Mcpherson"
The officials have been more anxious
than they cared to betray as to Admiral
Dewey's condition. They were not Sc
riously apprehensiye of personal danger
to the fleet, but an impression was gain
ing ground that the Admiral had not
maintained the same measure of success
in his operations in Manila Bay that re-
warded his first effort. Now the report
received goes to show that his plans
are working out admirably; that he has
succeeded in placing upon the insurgents
the burden of conducting military opera
tiOns against the Spanards while he
himself is lying in enforced idleness
awaiting the arrival of troops, and that
he has succeeded i'll preventing the cor
ruption of the insurgent leaders by the
Spaniards, which appeared at one time
TO be threatening. There is some specu-
lation here by anxious minds as to how
the insurgents will treat the prisoners
they have taken, who are more numerous
it is said than all the captives made nv
the Cuban insurgents since war began.
1t is reported by cable after he had
the cooperation of the insurgent chief.
that Admiral Dewey would see to it that
the insurgents observed the rules of ciYiIi-
zed warfare. This caution was made ne
cessary by the terrible tales that had
been circulated of the barbarOus treat
ment of prisoners captured by the in
Surgents. 1t is sincerely hoped that
Aguinaldo will see to it. that this agree
ment is observed in the case of 1900
prisoners he now holds, for it is believed
in official circles that the nations Of the
civilized world will hold the United
States morally responsible for any great
excesses that may be committed IN the
Philippines as result of our action
there. The Navy Department officials
declare that Dewey is not responsible
for the safe keeping and maintenance
Of these prisoners, which is most fortu-
nate. considering the limited resources
