COLLINS WAS SENT ID JAIL
Hugh Frazer Made a Bond of
 $2,000.
THE JUSTICES DECISION
First Sustained in Both Cases-Frazer's Bond Reduced Upon His Inability to Fur
 nsh S5,000 Being Shown.

Once more Thos R. Collins, the slayer of J. L. Howell, has been remanded to jail. Hugh Frazer's bond was reduced to $2000. He soon made this. and last night he went to his home in Bessemer. a happy man. This was the result of the habeas corpus proceedings before Judge Sharpe.
 Judge Sharpe did not call the case until late yesterday afternoon. He, had read the evidence, which was furnished in type. written form, and he was prepared to ren- der decision, but the attorneys desired to argue the case. All made strong appeals, and in his speech Attorney Lowe attacked the newspapers, saying they had tried and condemned Collins.
 At first Judge Sharpe recommitted both Collins and Frazer, sustaining Justice Till- mans decision. The attorneys for the de- fense then told the judge that Frazer was unable to give a $5 900 bond He was put on the stand and testified that he was worth g 000. This testimony was corrobor- ated by John Collins. The judge offered to reduce the bond to 5000, but when the at torneys again interposed he made it s2.9o0.
 Tom Collins has been hopeful of being allowed ball. and his feelings at the de- cision were plainly apparent. The old man was pitiful, and his wife's tears moved him more deeply. Nellie Collins was also pres ent, but did not seem to be at all chagrined.
 Hugh Frazer was happy at the result, although he expected to be set free. He went back among the spectators and kissed his 6-year-old daughter. His bond was soon made and after chat with a mum ber of his friends he left on the dummy for Bessemer, and Tom Collins was taken back to jail.
 This ends the celebrated murder case un- til it comes to trial in a higher court. The tragedy for which both men have been incarceratcd was enacted at Bessemer about o'clock on the evening of Decem- ber 2. Young J. L. Howell while standing locked In a prison cell was shot to death by Collins who, with Frazer, gained ad- mittance to the jail through strategy. The trouble was caused by the alleged insult Howell is said to have offered Nellie Collins.

London, May 25.-The following de-
spatch has been received from Madrid
dated a. NJ, Wednesday:
Nothing positive Is revealed as to the
situation. Lieut.. General Correa, min
lister of war, has received a cablegram
from General Blanco saying that the
Am erican warships are in front of Santi-
ago. Captain Aunon, minister of marine
has received a lengthy despatch from Ad-
miral Cervera, replying in full to instruc-
tions. The minister Of marine receives
nobody. He is working day and night.
Yesterday he presented to the Queen Re-
gent every detail of the plans at Santiago
de Cuba, showing the defenses and the
security of Admiral Cervera's squadron.
"Admiral Camara has gone back to
Cadiz with sealed orders. 1t is said that
on his arrival there he will arrange for
manoeuvres of his ships at sea, for trials
of speed, gunnery and everything in order
to satisfy himself that the squadron is in
an efficient condition. He will then de.
part for destination undivulged.
"Senor Capdepon, minister of the in
terror says a telegram receivN by the wal
office from Manila reports that the
natives are disposed to remain loyal to
Spain and will defend the territory
against foreign invasion.
''The latest rumor is that Spanish
warship has captured an American war
| ship in Cuban waters. :"
The Madrid correspondent of the Daily
News says:
"Rumors as to the negotiations of the
powers in favor of peace are premature
but responsible Spanish statesmen are
prepared to seize the first opportunity tt
end the war provided it can be done or
terms honorable to Spain.
"Should neutral nation come forward
| with an honorable arrangement, its pro.
posals would be examined here in NO i'm.
practical spirit Of false pride. If, how
ever, America does not insist upon i'm
possible humiliation, there is still a
possibility of peace.

colonial authorities the right to search

cans or any other persons who may have
taken advantage of her to leave that city.

understood to have inquired OF Londor
thing displeasing to the United States
and yet are determined to enforce neu

will sail from Port Antonio for Besto1
tomorrow by the Belivedere.

Cuba, while the value of that port as
place of refuge for the Spanish flying
squadron is materially diminished. It is
safe to say that the remaining cable to-
Santiago will soon be cut like the others,
SO that if Cervera is misguided enough
to have entered Santiago harbor he Will
be completely out of touch with his home
government on the one hand:.and soually
unable to communicated with Blanco
at the other end OF the island.
The Philippines expedition is now off
in dead earnest. The sending of these
ships will affect the Hawaiian question
vitally. Like the Charleston, the trans
ports must stop at Hawaii to replenish
their coal bunkers from the great heaps
of coal that Consul General Hayward
has been piling up for months past If
the Hawaiians let us take this GOAL with
out the pretext that we are using ii to
make our way to the nearest home port.
as is required by international law in
such cases, they will stand convicted OF
gross breach of neutrality that in the
eyes Of the law Of nations allies them
with the United States in hostility with
Spain. The taking of coal by the Ameri-
can ships at Hawaii to make an extensive
campaign against the Spanish posses
sions, it is believed here, will result in
compelling the United States either to
assume O protectorate over the islands or
to annex them.
