e.r Soldiers Bound Over TO Court

Charleston, S. c., January 19.-Three
privates of the Ninth Ohio (colored)
regiment now stationed at Summer
vile, were up before Recorder Jervey
in the police court here this morning
charged with starting a row in a low
dive in Market street. Several shots
were fired by the soldiers and they re-
sisted arrest by a policeman. Mayor
Smythe wrote to General yVaties, who
commands Camp Marion, as king should
the soldiers be tried by civil or mill
tary authorities. He replied that the
civil courts should proceed with the
trial. In the city u Privates John
McPheters and Simon Jackson were
fined on the minor charges against
them $50 and $40 respectively. On the
charge of assault and battery with in
ten to kill they appeared before a
magistrate and were sent to Jail to
await trial at the court of sessions.
The third soldier, Richard Harrell, was
fined $40 by the recorder for being
drunk and disorderly.

Seville, January 19-The Spanish aux
Hilary cruiser Giralda, formerly Mr..
McCalmont's YACHT arrived here this
morning with the reputed ashes of Co
lumbus on board, which had been
transferred from the cruiser Condo de
Venadito, on which they were brought
from Havana. The municipal authori-
ties took charge of the coffin on board.
The Giralda fired a salute, to which
the land batteries replied, and the pro-
cession was then formed and the coffin
transferred to the celebrated cathedral
of Seville, which contains the tomb in
which the remains OF Columbus were
first deposited.
The chapter of the cathedral remains
in which will lie the remains in state
until finally placed in the vault. After
another salute the funeral services
were celebrated in the presence of an
enormous crowd.

The Papers Served on the General.
The Charges Preferred-Court-Mar-
tiai Procedure
Washington. D. c., January 1s.-The
charges and specifications in the court
martial Of Commissary General Eagan
have been drafted and are now liz the
hands Of the president. The charges
are conduct ~unbecoming an officer and
a gentleman and conduct ~prejudicial to
good order ard military discipline. The
specifications quote largely from Gen
eral Eagan's statement attacking Gen
eral Miles before the war investigat-
ing commission.
General Eagan was served with legal
notice of the ordering Of a court-mar-
tial for his trial just before the close
of office hours today. The notice was
delivered by the messenger of the adj
jutant general in the usual course, and
had the effect to relieve General Eagan
from duty as commissiary general of
the United States army, pending the
conclusion of the court-martial. The
office was placed in charge of Lieuten-
ant Colonel George b. Davis, who has
been on duty there for some time as
assistant to General Eagan.
1t was said at the war department
that the text of the charges and speci-
fications upon which General Eagan
is to be tried, will not be made public
by the department, but will be placed
in the hands of the judge advocate of
the court-martial, Colonel Davis, and
the court itself may give them public
ity.
General Eagan has not yet outlined
the course he will pursue or the ma
ture of his defence, if he makes any.
He is at present engaged in trying to
secure counsel, and it is believed has
partially succeeded in securing the SER
vices of Mr.. Worthington, ex-United
States attorney for the District of 20
lumbit, who ranks very high in legal
circles here. He will be supported by
other counsel here whose personnel is
not known. After he has conferred
with these he will determine Upon his
plea.
The procedure before a military court
differs materially from the civil pro-
cedure, and it, therefore, becomes pos
Sible in this case for General Eagan
to return a double plea, even under
one charge. For instance, assuming
that the principal charge is conduct
unbecoming an officer n a gentle
man," he may plead not guilty, though
to the specification setting out the use
of the offensive language he may plead
guilty. In other words, he may admit
having used the language while deny
ing that by using it he was guilty of
ungentlemanly conduct. It will be for
the court to settle hat point. AS in
the case of selection of a jury, the
accused has the right to except to any
member Of the trial court n this right
of challenge is frequently awaited of,
the usual plea for exercising it being
a prejudice on the part of the chal-
lenged members against the defendant.
General Miles is not openly concern
ing himself in the matter, if at all. He
left Washington today for Philadelphia
expecting to return tomorrow.

Crew of a Stranded steamer Rescued

CreW Oh a StTanOe0 steamer ktebcueQ
New York, January 19.-The Allan
tic Transport Line steamer Menominee,
which arrived today from London
brought Capt. Hopeyman and twenty
two members of the crew of the Brit
ish steamer tramp Glendower, which
was abandoned at sea in a sinking con
dition on January 18th, while on the
voyage from Philadelphia for Sligo
with a cargo of Maize.
The G%endower left Philadelphia De-
cember 9th, clearing the capes Of the
Delaware on the 2Sth. Shortly after
wards she experienced bad weather,
the wind coming out from the west and
shifting to northwest with a very heavy
sea. The storm increased and blew
with great fury and enormous seas
boarded the vessel during which Peter
West, able seaman, was washed over
board and lost. On the 9th the storm
still continued and it was decided to
turn the ships head around and face
the wind and sea. On the .,h the
steamer dipped her stern when an
enormous wave broke owe her, wash
ing everything before it. The steamer
filled rapidly. Every eHort was made
by the crew to clear the vessel, but
without success.
The pumps became choked with car
go. Fortunately on January 18th the
Atlantic Transport Line steamer Me-
nominee hove in sight, bore down,
launched her boats and rescued the en-
tire crew consisting of the twenty-three
men and their Scotch collie dog, and
brought them to port.

Thorough Search Being Made for the
Y~acht-The Worst Feared

Port Eads, La, January 1.-the
customs officials here are doing their
utmost in trying to get information
from every vessel or sailing craft along
the coast and numerous islands that
daily enter the river here. The Paul
Jones went to sea through Pass Lou
tire, with Colonel Yocum and party on
board in charge of Captain j. Sturte-
want on January 3rd and was passed
by several mall craft next day sail
ing along the and since then
nothing has been heard from her.
The lighthouse tender Pansy in COM
mand of A. V. Wodhams, is making a
thorough search along the shores of
Breton and Grandeur islands and may
return at any hour with tidings of the
yacht.
According to reliable information re-
ceived late last night the yacht Paul
Jones is, in all probability, a total loss
with all on board. Fishermen from
the back bay between Bird island and
Collects canal report finding a guam
tity of wreckage such as windows and
doors of the cabin of a new boat.

Stems Pass is becoming one Of the

mineral In this section. a letter from
a private correspondent at that point
says that IL Is the only point on the
Southern Pacific that is shipping ores
Of lead, silver and copper from three
separate camps, adjacent to the sta
tion. Three hauling outfits are daily
engaged. The silver ores are from the
Volcano district, seven miles north,
The lead ores are from the Granite
Gap district, fifteen miles south, the
copper ores are from the San Simon
district, eight miles south, and some
from the Copper Glance, mine, two
miles west. The Johnnie Bull copper
ores from the San Simon camp are
grey copper, green ca~rbonates, and
black and red oxides. Three carloads
of this ore will be shipped to FL Paso.

writer hopes to see a smelling and re.

The people from Redrock who come
to Lordsburg have for years been
travelling rather a crooked road. No
one knows who started the trail, but
It is supposed to have been a stray
steer. Recently j. Nj. Harper, when
bringing in the mail, concluded he
could improve the road. When he
came to the first crook in the road
after leaving Redrock he left the road,
and took a bee line for Pyramid
mountain, which was in plain sight,
He followed this line and struck the
old road about a mile from town.
The new road he laid out was more
than a mile shorter than the old one,
aud much more level. There was but
one bad spot In 1t, where it crossed an
arroya, and with half an hours work,
when he returned, he made a good
crossing at that point. Ho now is
sorry he did not do this many years
ago.
