GOES TO JAIL.
sabatte, the Young Frenchman,
Given Fifty Days.

Justice Anderson, in sentencing John
D. Sabatte, yesterday, for petit larceny,
to pay fine of $50 or serve fifty days
in jail, said he could not comply with
the request Of the prosecuting witness
and let the defendant go because he
had served in the army in Cuba and
been wounded there. He thought it
far better that Sabatte be confined for
a short time, during which more could
be learned about him. He could cor
respond and establish the truth Of his
statements in several respects, If they
are true. The court would make it
its business to aid the man If a way
opened for it, and if he is what he rep
resents himself to be he would unite
in an appeal for his pardon. But he
could not believe the romantic story
told by Sabatte. Some of it might be
true, but the most Of it was certainly
fiction, and besides his representations
here had been long line of falsehood.
The court dwelt on the possibility of
the truth of the story about the return
to France, the arrest and the interposi-
ton Of the American Consul in behalf
Of Sabatte and explained what the
international law is, and what the law
is relative to protection under a fled
declaration Of intention to become a
citizen, and the law relative to such
declaration by one who has served in
the army, etc.
It might be that the story of defend
ant as to that phase Of his case was
true. but there was not sufficient
known to warrant the assumption that
1t is. The court had~not had such q
painful duty to perform since he had
taken the bench. He was Convinced
the man did serve in Cuba, and that ex-
cited sympathy for him, but his other
stories are wildly improbable in many
respects, and such papers as he has
are Of doubtful character and those
most needful he has not.
It was best for the defendant, said
Justice Anderson, to be kept in Gus
tody for time, rather than be turned
adrift. The court would give him the
lowest penalty consistent with the
value of the property taken, and mean
while further inquiry would be made,
and If the man can be helped to his
feet the court would unite in the effort.

that would not keep up sufiicient press
ure with two boilers was safe for the
city to use
Mr.. Winans asked Mayor Land to
make statement. and the Mayor said
that he was anxious to test the coal
He found some feeling as to who should
make the first test. Each wanted the
other to make the first test He told
Mr.. Hall to make the first one, which
was done. He also ordered the gates
opened, SO that as much water would
flow as in the summer It was done
and the steam was kept up, with thirty
to forty revolutions OF the pump and
steam from ninety to ninety six
pounds. The next day Mr.. Winans
made his test. but the steam did not
keep up. The revolution of the Holly
pump was about twenty-seven, and the
steam stood at fifty-hve to fifty-siy
pounds. Mr.. Winans said it was not
fair test, and he would quit; that
there was more water running in than
during Halls test, and that there was
Niger in the fence. and he would
protest.
He thought Engineer Wolf and City
Taper Watt were fair and honest, and
they said the conditions were the same.
He was there both days, and had nc
reason to think the city's employees were
dishonest.
Mr.. Winans said that the boilers were
cold and the fire. brick had just been
put in, and were also cold. The con.
ditions were not the same as in Halls
test.
Chief Engineer Wolf was sworn, and
said the tests were as fair as he knew
how to make them There was no diff,
ference that he knew Of He tried to
make q fair test. The boilers on the
vision.
Engineer Woods testified that the
test was fair and the conditions the
same.
City Taper Watts said that he
opened the valves as ordered by the
Mayor and Engineer Wolf. They were
precisely the same on both days.
w. J. Hall said that Winans, at his
own request. followed him. He forced
the test and agreed to make his test
the following day. The CRATE surface
was none too great for his coal. but
Winans cut off nine square feet for his
low-grade coal, and put in cold brick.
Dolan said the Chief Engineer had
told him it was impossible to burn low
grade coal in the fire-box, as there was
not space enough, and it could only be
done by getting another boiler.
Douglas moved that the report of the
Chief Engineer be accepted and the
bids opened.
The motion was carried, Devine and
Brown voting no.
The bids were: Union Ice Company
Franklin coal. $6.S78 per long ton
Tesla coal, $4.15 per long ton; Sacra'
mento Coal Company, 1910 per 2.OOt
pounds.
A motion by Dolan to reject the
Union Ice Company's bid because II
had not made a test was lost.

About 2 o'clock yesterday morning q
fishing scow resting on the river bank
at Freeport was burned with all its

Wolf said there was five inches mora
water in the boiler. He claimed that
more water had been put in in some
way.
Engineer Woods said he shut off all
the valves before the test was made
The increase OF water was caused bv
the lack Of coal. There were no more
valves open than on the day before. No
water went into the boiler except from
the measured tank.
Chief Engineer Wolf made the same
statement.
Fireman Bunnell said he had made

He was positive that no water went

SPAIN IN no SELLING MOOD.
Believed She Will Resist Demands of
England for Coaling Station.


Madrid, January 2.--General Rios, the
Spanish commander, cables that he has
arrived at Manila on board the Leo
XIII, having completely evacuated the
Vscayas and the northern part of the
Island of MindanaO, after blowing up
IA forts and the feet of gunboats on
Lake Lano. He adds that 1000 Spanish
troops are concentrated at Zambonanga,
under the command of General Montero.
The Spanish General also says that
before quitting the trenches he warned
the insurgents in the vicinity Of Iloilo
that if they fired single shot he would
raze the town.
The Spanish transport Monserrat sails
for Spain on January IA. and the Leon
XIII with General Rios on board, sails
for Spain on January 18th.
Official circles here are warmly dis
cussing the attitude of Great Britain,
owing to her pressing demands that
Spain sell her a coaling station in the
Balearic Islands and other strategical
points. so as to render Gibraltar unas-
sailable. The negotiations on the sub
ject have been in allegiance, owing to
Premier Sagasta's illness, but it is be
lieved that Spain, influenced by France
and Russia, will resist the demands OF
Great Britain.

RESENTED By THE PEOPLE.
The Order to Transmit Each Week
Customs Receipts to Havana.


Santiago de Cuba, January 2.--An or
der has been received from Havana,
which, il enforced, will mean, in the
Judgment of the commercial classes here.
serious injury to the province. This is
Il direction to transmit the entire Gus
toms receipts each week to Havana.
Compliance with such instructions would
involve the abandonment Of many neces-
sary public improvements, especially in
the matter Of roads and water works.
Since the American occupation began
these funds have been used for such pur-
poses and have been the principal means
of meeting the necessary expenditures.
The Heraldo says that to carry this
order out would rob ten thousand Gu
bands of employment, most of whom
would probably take to the hills and be-
come bandits having no other recourse.
Robert T. Mason. British Consul at
Santiago, says it was SPANS practice of
monetary Capitalization which caused
most of her troubles in Cuba.
General Leonard Wood. United States
Military Governor of the Department,
on being asked to express an opinion re-
specting the order, declined to be inter-
viewed; but it is reported that, without
offering any criticism of the policy which
dictates the order. he has shown his
annoyance at the possibility of a stop
being put to the good work being done
in the province. The local taxation
fund is barely sufficient to meet the ex-
penses of the city. There is nothing
over for important improvements; and
the customs receipts are considered by
competent judges to be absolutely neces-
sary for the successful management of
the province.
Popular excitement over the order is
growing among all classes. The Cham
Der of Commerce, the Sons of Veterans,
the Supreme court and the San Carlos
Club have called meetings to take ac-
ton; and each organization will cable
to Washington an earnest protest
against what is described as the "Suici-
dial policy of centralizing money at
Havana"
