ernoon for Manila with the First and
Second Battalions Of the Twentieth Kan
sas. These troops will go aboard this
morning The two battalions Will leave
the Preside just as soon as the tents are
dry enough to be packed. Colonel Funs
ton will be in command, and he will be
accompanied by his field and staff. The
only headquarters officer who will re-
main for the present will be Lieutenant
Colonel Little, who commands the Third

A STEAMER SEIZED.
Lieutenant Butt and the Revenue
Cutter Took Possession of a
Rebellious Craft.

The steamer Laurada, the old Havana
blockade runner, created some excitement
on the city front yesterday afternoon.
AT O'Clock Deputy United States Mar
shall Iittlefield went on board the steamer
with the papers in the libel suit of F. E.
Mathieson to recover $40 and a few odd
cents for pilot fees. Littlefield served the
papers in due form and placed ]. W. Dur
kin in charge as keeper. Captain Fisher
said he didn't care a darning needle for
the writs, that the steamer was already
IN the hands of a receiver and that as
soon as he could discharge her cargo of
wheat he would pull up anchor without
waiting to heft it and skip out for Port
land.
Littleield reported the rebellion of the
captain to Marshal Shine and the result
was that Collector Jackson ordered Nayi-
gator Butt to prevent the Laurada from
leaving port. The navigator drew the
revenue cutter alongside the Laurada and
boarded her in all the pomp and panoply
or war, declaring that he would put a
bullet through the carcass of any one
VINO would attempt to defy the Govern
ment. Deputy Marshals Parish and Moi
nit came to the rescue with reVolvers and
handcuffs When the captain reappeared.
after temporary absence, the matter Of
the receiver was explained and il was
round that the attorneys had made a mis-
take. Lieutenant Butt was withdrawn
from the bloodless contest of words and
the Laurada was allowed to start for
Portland.

GRAND JURY MAY
INDICT MRS. BOTKIN
HER CASE WILL BE TAKEN UP
TODAY.
Chief Lees Hopes to Take His Pris-
oner to Delaware for Break
ing Postal Laws.

The Grand Jury will convene this at
ternoon and upon the suggestion of AS
sistant District Attorney Hosmer viii
investigate the case of Mrs. Cordelia Bot
kin with the object of finding an indict-
ment against her upon the charge oil
numbering Mrs. John P. Dunning.
The Grand Jury's action in the matter
will be solely upon the suggestion of Mr.
Hosmer. Chief Lees and Detective sMc-
Vey have cut loose from the District
Attorneys end of the prosecution and
are lending their energies to no scheme
that has not for its object the removal
of Mrs. Botkin to Delaware for trial.
With this in view Lees has resorted to
the United States postal laws in the hope
that there he may find some charge upon
which Mrs. Botkin may be arrested and
taken back to Delaware. Once in the
postal charge could be dismissed and the
original charge of numbering Mrs Dun
ming could be substituted.
Under section 327 the Federal statute
makes 1t a misdemeanor, punishable by
a fine, to include any writing in mail
matter Of the fourth class. The statute
1879. The statute also provides that a
violation may be prosecuted either at the
place where the package was mailed or
at the place of its destination.
1t will be remembered that the box
of candy which was sent to Mrs. Dun
ming also carried a note, alleged to have
Deeu III the uduuWIlllHS OF MIS-. BOtk1n,
with the phrase With love to yourself
and baby, Mrs. c." written in it. AS a
box Of candy is classed as mail matter
of the fourth class the laws pertaining
to such were clearly broken, according
to the provisions of the statute.
To this statute there are two drawbacks
that render 1t of no potency. The first is
that the Supreme Court has time and
again reversed decisions that were gained
by just such uses of the Government S
processes. If Mrs. Botkin were arrested
in this Jurisdiction upon a misdemeanor
charge on Federal court warrant and
taken back to Delaware for trial the
fraud would Immediately become appar-
ent If the charge were dismissed and she
rearrested for murder. BY writ of habeas
corpus she could regain her liberty upon
that showing, according to the decisions
of the Supreme Court.
The second weakness of the statute is
that it provides for trial in either place
the package is mailed or the place where
1t is received. In cases Of this sort, where
the alternative trial is provided for, the
State in which the arrest is made has a
prior right over the prisoner, and it has
never been decidedthat any prosecuting
officer has the right under the law to
waive the rights of his State.

|. BONDSMEN Of
SCHOOL BOARD
To Be SUED
Grand Jury Decides
on a Plan.
WILL PUSH A CIVIL CASE
ONE JUROR IS TO ACT FOR THE
CITY.
WILL PUSH A CIVIL CASE
Suit to Recover the Money Over
Expended by the Board of Edu-
cation During the Present
Year.

The chances are that the members OF
the School Board will be treated to a dis
agreeable surprise within a few days II
is the present intention of the Grand Jury
to take radical action looking to the
speedy recovery from the bondsmen OF
the School Trustees of the amount OF
money oVer-eXpended by the Board OF
Education so far during the present fiscal
year. The Grand Jury constructs the law
to forbid, under the one-twelfth limita-
ton act, q mass of expenses which have
been piled up recently aggregating close
on to 500 900, If not more. 1t is the con-
tention Of the jury that the board had
no right to pay last year salaries of
teachers during the present year, as was
done, nor had it the right to pile up heavy
expense bills for furnishing Mission High
School, without having the funds on hand
to pay for the same
The plan of operation proposed by the
Grand Jury is novel. Citations will at
once be sent to various members of the
School Board and creditors of the board,
directing them to appear and testify con-
corning the unpaid accounts AS soon as
it is legally ascertained that the Board
of Education is in debt over and above
the lawful amount allowed by the one
twelfth act. the jury will appoint one Of
its members private citizen and tax
courts against the bondsmen of the School
Directors, to recover the full amount.
Prior to taking this step the Grand
agement of the school funds to Judge
Belcher, expecting to receive from him
the advice to go ahead and prosecute the
bondsmen. This idea is an outgrowth of
the Judges recent action advising the
jury to enter the Police Court and prose-
cute the school lumber thieves, If it could
not indict them for trial in the Superior
Court. In the present case the Grand
Jury does not see it's way clear to In
dict the members of the board for over
money, but 1t does see how to
reach them legally through their bonds
men.
The probabilities are that Chairman r.
wing, of the Grand Jury's committee on
schools, will be the agent deputized to
act in bringing the suit. The fact that
this policy has been determined upon
comes from unqueStionable sources. The
Botiin murder case, which comes before
the jury this afternoon. will first be dis
against the School Board will be taken
up.
After the school cases are finished the
Grand Jury will consider the alleged for
geries in connection with the election petit
lion of the United Labor party. Then the
gas contract will be taken
up, and other matters pertaining to that
Board will receive careful attention From
evidence now in possession of the commit
tee on Mayor, City Hall Commission and
Board of Supervisors, 1t is believed that
I hot roast and several indictments will
De served up at the same time.

Miss Bouton Goes to
New York.
HER HAWAIIAN TRIP STOPPED
had EVERYTHING READY TO
SAIL ON THE CHINA.
DR.. Anderson Says New York's Gil
mate VIII Kill the Actress.
Nevertheless She Obeyed
the Baron.

Madeleine Bouton has gone. The
charming young actress left on the over
land train last night in obedience to a
peremptory telegram from her ffance.
Miss Bouton has been ill-seriOusly i'll
and when she began to recover somewhat
the desire for change of air came over
her. San Francisco, she declared, was no
place for a convalescent, and she thought
trip TO New York would do her good.
DR.. Winslow Anderson her physician,
threw up his hands in horror at the
thought, and said You go to New York
and you are a dead woman"
Now Miss Bouton did not like the idea
of dying, so she gave up the idea Of go
ing TO New York
About this time Colonel George Macfar-
lane and several friends of Miss Bouton
arrived from Hawaii. They insisted upon
a trip to Honolulu and said there was no
place like the Paradise of the Pacific for
building up a broken down constitution.
Miss Bouton was charmed with the idea
and DR.. Anderson gave his consent.
Madeleine was delighted and wired her
nance OF her intended journey. IF you
are We'll enough TO go to the Islands you
are well enough 10 come here" wired
back Baron Nimptsch in reply
MISS Bouton at once wired back that
the doctor said a journey across the con-
tinent meant death. Then the Baron re-
Tented little and sent back, You can
go II you get a proper chaperon." The
chaperon was found, the Baron was sat
1stied, berths were secured on the steamer
China, trunks We're packed and the hack
ordered to take the party to the Mail
dock, when a telegram from the Baron
arrived saying, in effect, that the Baron
wanted his ftanCee to come East at once
climate or no climate.
The journey to the Paradise of the PACT
fic was dropped then and there, and that
was why the China sailed without Made
leine Bouton. She saw Dr. Anderson
again, and he reiterated his former state
ment and Miss Bouton again wired the
Baron. Telegrams flew back and forth
all of last Wednesday and all Wednesday
night, and in the morning Miss Bouton
had decided to go back to New York in
spite Of the doctors warning. Il dread
this railroad trip were the last words
she said as the train drew out of the Oak
land mole last night. She is, however,
buoyed up with the hope that as soon as
the marriage takes place the Baron will
take her to Italy to recuperate.
