The ConstabnIhry Force.

COLUMBIA, March 2.-Thcre is lust
now considerable interest being taken

charges of killing Mrs. Stuart.
The force seems to have been grow

few months. There seems to have been
no special demand for the increase. but

request here and there for Il constable

Governors office for places on tho.

men of 1llvana, "upOn their honor ;ls
journalistsand good, patriotic Cubans,"

Last night there was much mystcri-
Ous cafe whispering. 1t seems that IL
considerable portion of the time during

accuse each other Of accepting bribcs
from the United States, which accusa-
tions were followed by threatened
ducls on the adjournment.
In addition to this the Cuban As

West Point, NJ T.. Aug 12.-The cadets

4 Case of Necessity.

Once more the force of public opinion is
driving the Administration into line of
action that it has been determined to
avoid. 1t is now said that Attorney Cen
eral Griggs will devote his attention to
the Carter case, as soon as he joins the
President on Lake Champlain, and not
wait, as was his intention, for the return
of Carriers counsel from Europe
That Republican leaders have been urg-
ing Mr.. Mckinley to announce a decision,
and thus remove a serious danger to his
party. is well known. On the other hand
ii is certain that the friends Of the con-
his transactions have been actively urging
further delay. But, this time, they may
have pleaded in vain, for the Carter case
has become such a national scandal that
ii cannot be ignored without risking the
most serious consequences to the Admin
istration.
Notwithstanding official denials, the i'm
preston is still extant that already the
statute of limitations has relieved infiuen-
tial persons who were mixed up with Car
ter's contracting business. from the menace
of civil suits on the part of the Government.
If that be true, they, at least will not be
as insistent as formerly that the matter be
allowed TO wait a year longer. There have
been suggestions that some OF the people
who might have been most injured as a re-
suit of early action, were liberal contribu-
tors TO the campaign fund of 1896. 1t has
been often asserted that individuals close to
Carter certainly were heavy subscribers,
and it is not impossible that the captain
may have helped along little himself.
These things may or may not be true; but
when such stories are in the air, and are
credited by untold numbers of citizens, the
effect is not conducive 10 confidence in our
governing authorities. and they should do
something TO square themselves.
We have no idea that Carter's punish
ment will be severe. He has been a pris-
oner confined within the limits Of the Uni
ted States for more than a year, with his
cell in the New York Athletic Club, when
not travelling for business or pleasure.
That time will be allowed, of course, and
his good conduct" since his conviction
ought to release him from the remainder
of the sentence of penal servitude AS
for the fine. he will probably be made to
pay that. 1t is almost one one-hundred-
and-sixtieth of the shortage with which he
was charged. Perhaps that and the loss of
his uniform by resignation will be consid-
cred ample amends for any small indiscre-
ton of which he may have been guilty.
After all is over, he is an accomplished
engineer and could no doubt secure the
very highest endorsements for commits

proportions-considering its object-to

shooting off remonstrance, or even a

There is. however, serious side to the
matter. The revolution in Santo Domingo

careful consideration. 1t need not concern

without injury to the interests of our

condition approximating anarchy in Santo
Domingo, and that its influence is spread

against William Holtz and his wife, OF
Salem, and asked that their three chill
dren be taken from them and placed in

and has his second wife. Both he and the
woman. it Is alleged by Echols. appear to

A five-year- old girl seems to be the one
upon whom they visit their most bitter
hatred and according to evidence secured
by Mr. Echols they have been most brutal
to her 1t was shown that this child was
entirely deprived of water and that she
steals away and drinks any liquid, no mat
ter how foul. to quench her thirst. There
is also proof that during one of the cold
est spells in February this child was kept
out of doors until IL o'clock at night and
was nearly frozen to death.
Neighbors testify that Holtz carried the
little one to a woodpile few weeks ago
placed it's head across a block and taking
an ak was about to decapitate it. When
demonstrated with and told he would
frighten the child to death, Holtz said it
would be a coed thing if such was the
case. Continued ill-treatment has dwarfed
the child both in mind and body. The case
will be. vigorously prosecuted.
