Washington. Dec. 2.-Geu. Gilbert S.
Carpenter, who was recently confirmed as
brigadier general I'm the regular army, has
been placed on the retired list on his own
application after thirty years of active ser
vice.
His retirement leaves two vacancies in

list OF brigadier generals will he fill
cd on the reassembling Of Congress, by the
promotion ana retirement Of several Of

hold volunteer commissions, are to be
made brigadier generals in the regular es-
tablishment and that at least two OF the
number viii be Immediately retired. Gen.
Macarthur will undoubtedly be retained

WOOD INVESTIGATING JAILs.
customs Appraisers Charged with
Fraud Re-arrested.

havana, Dec. H.-Gen. Wood says one
OF the first things he looked into after his
arrival was the management of Cuban
prisons.
Investigation has proved that even
among American prisoners, there has been
an average detention of five months with
OUT trlal. There are many things calling
LOT immediate attention, particularly In
the matter of sleeping accommodations.
reforms will be promptly Instituted in
this respect and hammocks will be sup
Piled, so that the prisoners will not be
compelled to sleep on the bare floors, as
is now the case
SO far as the Havana penitentiary is
concerned this has been found to be in a
perfectly satisfactory condition.
Early last January Gen Ludlow APP
pointed military board to inquire into
the prison question. over 500 prisoners
were reported upon and Gen Ludlow is
sued orders for the release of more than
ln. Befo fifty had been DISCHARGED, how
ever, Gen. Brooke ordered halt and the
matter was referred to the cabinet secreta-
r1es, since which time practically nothing
has been done. Men whom Gen. Ludlow
ordered released are still held after three
or four years waiting without trial.
Warrants are out for the rearrest of
three of the custom house appraisers re-
Gently released. Two custom house brok-
ers and six other men were arrested to-
day in connection with the charge of de-
frauding the government, but were re-
leased in $1,000 bail each. The cases will
be pushed to the utmost.
The investigation shows a widespread
conspiracy TO defraud. Heretofore Collec-
tor Bliss, when he has had persons ar
rested for fraud, has been referred to the
governor generals secretaries and has
found the entire judicial system apparent
ly banded against him and against
conviction Now the matter seems
to have been taken up by the
military authorities, who are de-
termined that the courts shall act with
firmness and that decisions shall be i'm
partial and in accordance with the evil
dence.

STOY ARRESTED FOR ARSON.
Charged with Starting the Perkins
Fire in Augusta.

FIRE IN Augusta.
Augusta. Dec. GA sensational feature
in Augustus fire record is the arrest of
W. c. Stoy on the charge of setting fire
to the Perkins Manufacturing Company
property last night. The evidence is cir
cumstantial.
Ten or twelve years ago Stoy was ar
rested by the police for setting fire to
buildings on Ellis street, where the livery
stables of Pedigo & Lyons and others now
stand. Stoy was caught applying the
torch to the building and arrested, but his
relatives had writ of lunacy taken out
for him, and he was sent to the asylum
at Milledgevllle. He was released after
a time and returned to Augusta, where
he has since lived.
A warrant was sworn out for him in
Judge Vaughans court to-day, charging
him with arson, and he will be given
preliminary trial. The evidence against
him is purely circumstantial, but enough
to warrant his arrest.
Stoy is a clever fellow when sober and
quite successful in conducting railroad ex-
cursions. He is addicted to drink, and
when drunk has mania for fire.
1t is understood that a writ of lunacy
was also sworn out to-day, and il is
probable his relatives and friends will try
10 give the case that direction again II
the evidence of his guilt is strong.

No Decision Yet Reached, But He
Says Companies and Regiments

secret So as Not to Embarrass the

New York. Dec. 27.-Relative TO the at
titude of the Irish revolutionary societies
toward the government of Great Britain
at the present juncture of affairs, the
Evening Post to-day quotes an officer of
the Clan-na-Gael as saying:
England can only be made to feel phys
zeal force, and we're now going to give her
some Boer treatment. We did intend 60
ing out and sinking that first expedition
from Canada to South Africa, but thought
it better to wait a little. We can mobi-
lie our men without much difficulty for
an attack on Canada, and we are fairly
well armed-as well as the United States
troops in the Spanish war We have lots
Of Springfield rifles and are handy with
the bayonet.
No decision has been arrived at vet.
Everything will depend on the immediate
future. We have either regiments or COM
rane5 all over the United States and are
fairly well drilled and a great many of
our men are in the militia.
The Ancient Order of Hibernians has
really nothing 20 do with this. 1t numbers
about 250000, and majority of its men,
bers belong to our organization. All its
officers do, and so of course, ii will act
with us. We have lots of men in the regu-
lar army-camps or clubs in every post
and even if they were sent against us to
stop US on the border, they would either
march across with us or give us blank
cartridges.
IF it is decided to attack Canada we
shall do all in our power to keep matters
so secret as not to embarrass the govern
ment until we are actually on the border
The French population in Canada would
he with us, and there are numbers of our
own countrymeu ready to welcome US
Canada would be an easy mark We would
have the Canadian loyalists on the run in
a week"

AFTER BOER WAR MATERIAL.
Agents i'm New York Seeking Re-

New York, Dec. 27.-The work of en-.
listing men in this city to take the Boer
side in the war is in charge of two agents,
who operate in a saloon near police head
quarters.
The leader in the movement is Gustav
Simon, a Boer, recently arrived from the
Transvaal; associated with him is a young
German, Henry scharff, who has lived
many years among the Beers and who
reached New York a week ago from Pre-
tora
A number of people, chiefly young men.
have gone TO the Transveai. Some 200
left week ago and sixty went just before
Christmas.
Since the outbreak of the Transvaal war
the British consulate in this city has re-
ceiyed letters from many persons eager
10 enlist in the British army
i don't think 1t is any exaggeration to
say that we have received 5000 letters
from persons who want TO enlist" said
the British vice consul to-day. 1--WE are
prevented by United States statutes from
enlistng them, and we have TO send them
away. The only way they can get into
the army is to go to England and enlist
on their own responsibility. How many
OF them do this we have no way Of know
ing. l think, however, that great many
OF them do enlist.
1t is surprising TO notice the various
sorts and conditions of men who seek en-
listment with us. There is scarcely ma
uonality that is not represented. English,
OF course, predominate but Americans are
second in number. 1t is an interesting
circumstance that several United States
soldiers in uniform have come here and
asked TO be enlisted"

terest, if not of Importance, were develop
ed at the trial of Roland B. Molineux to-

by Recorder Golf against the policy Of
"shadowing' adopted by the district at

their zeal TO outrun their discretion.

explaining the action of the district attor-
news Office said that fifteen detectives
had been selected TO watch the members
of the jury He said that it was the GUS
tom to employ men to shadow jurors
during an important murder case.
1t is understood, however, that orders
will be issued to shadows" TO give the
Jurors as little trouble as possible in the
future.
The other incident of interest occurred
during the cross-examination of Hand
writing Expert Ames, of San Francisco,
who is the author of a book on Biblical
Myths"
Assistant District Attorney Osborne OBJ
iected TO this line Determination, and the
Recorder ruled that the law allowed no
religious test of a witness.

nical examination of Handwriting Ex-
