MEXICO DID NOT RECIPROCATE.
The Surrender of Mrs. Rich Did Not
Result in u Similar Courtesy.

The officials of the State Department are
not able to crticise the action Of the Mex
lean government in declining to grant the
application for extradition in the case of
leonardo Gonzales, who is charged with
criminal assault upon an American woman.
The extradition was denied on the score of
insufficient evidence of the mans guilt, and
as the legal presentation of the case was
made entirely by officers of the Texas state
govern ment, the department IS not able to
judge of the sufficiency Of the evidence At
the same time, 1t IS believed that at least
q prima facia case was made out, and it is
a matter of regret that the Mexican gov
eminent should not have reciprocated in
this case for the surrender of Mrs. Rich in
answer to its application under the per-
missive clause of the reciprocity treaty.

The Boston Navy Yard Fire.

The recent Boston navy yard fire turns
out to have been of less consequence than
first reported. The naval constructor, in
whose branch the fire occurred, has re-
ported to Chief Constructor Hichborn that
all the repairs that are necessary can be
made for $1,000 in the case of the bending
shop, and $1,000 for the plant. The depart
ment had already prepared plans for erect
ing a much larger shop around the present
old building, and this project will probably
be stimulated by the fire.

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE
Organization of Spanish War Veterans In
oorporated Today.
The Alleged Split in the Ranks and
What Has Been Done of
Late.

The organization known as the Spanish
! war Veterans was today Incorporated.
This action gives the society a business
standing and will allow ii to defend its
rights in the courts if at any time such ac-
ton should become necessary.
This action was taken by Gen. Geo. H
Harries, a member of the council of adj
! ministration, four other members of the as
ISOLATION joining him as incorpora tors
Gen. Harries also took the necessary ac-
tiCn to stop the delivery of mail to William
Christopher Liller, formerly adjutant gen.
eral of the Spanish War Veterans, in all
cases in which such mail is addressed to
him as adjutant general. Such mail COM
ing to this city is now being delivered to
Gen. Harries.
The course pursued by Gen. Harries today
is the result of the actions of Mr.. Liller
1t is generally conceded that Mr.. Liller can
rightfuIly claim the honor of being the or
ganizer of the Spanish War Veterans. The
idea of forming an organization of the
American soldiers and sailors who served
in the war with Spain possessed him while
he was serving in Cuba, and when he
got back to this country he proceeded TO
carry out the plan he had conceived. He
got roster of all the officers in the war
and from his home in Lancaster, Pa.
opened up a correspondence with many of
them.
Organization Effected.
He was going to assemble large army
of veterans in this city, he said, TO take
part in the organization, and in response to
his efforts score or two of these officers
did assemble here. At first Liller proposed
to have Gen. Wheeler commander-in-ch
but he changed his mind, and that honor
was conferred on Gen. J. Warren keifer of
Ohio. Lawrence ]. Logan of Boston being
made senior and James II. Tillman of Edge
wood. S. c., junior vice commander.
Liller, It is said, made himself adjutant geri-
eral of the association. There were nu-
merous other officers, and the association
was launched on its career.
Everything was moving in Liller's way,
when change came over the situation
The organization proceeded to reorganiZe
and among other charges made was the
dropping of Liller as adjutant. Then Mr..
Liiier proceeded to figure on his ability to
undo whatever he had done.
He called another meeting in this city
and remained here himself to form another
organization, which was done last Friday
evening. No one, it is said, knows who
We're present at this meeting.
What LiIIer Claimed.
Mr.. Liller claimed that the action taken
by him was because Gen. Keifer was max
ing political capital out of the original
headquarters to Ohio in order that he
might then better manipulate the associa-
ton for his own ends. Those connected
with the first organization declare that
Lliler is simply dsgruntled because he
cannot run 1t to suit himself. Lller de-
c1ared his purpose this morning to be to
