cause of the weakness was the light trade.

Officers.

Albany, N. Y, April PA hearing on
the report of the court which investi-
gated the conduct at Santiago of the
Seventy first regiment of New York
city was given by Governor Roosevelt
today.
The hearing developed the fact that
the court of inquiry found that Maj
Smith, who was lieutenant colonel of
the volunteer regiment; Capt. Whittle,
who was major in that command, and
Maj. Austin, of the staff of Brig. Gen.
Smith, and who commanded company
in that regiment, were guilty of lack of
bravery and courage and of incompe-
tency. The hearing. which was in the
form of a general discussion, continued
for nearly three hours, and at it's con-
clusion the governor announced that
while he had not made up his mind
definitely what he should do, still it was
most likely that he would submit the
case of Maj. Whittle to a military court
to determine his competency and fitness
to remain an officer of the National
Guard of the state; that he was I'M

A HIGH PRICED HOG
Becomes Involved in a Question of
Identity.

Springfield, Ill, April 21.-The cele-
brated 'Klever's Model case was de-
cided in the Sangamon circuit court to-
day by the jury returning a verdict that
the hog in question was "Klever's Mod
ell" The hog was sold at the state fair
grounds here August 81, 1897. by Geo.
G.. Council of Williamsville to a Syndi-
cate company composed of A. NJ. Cald-
we'll and others for S25. 600, the highest
price ever paid for a hog. Purchasers
refused payment, alleging that ''Kle-
ver's Model was dead and that the
hog which they had bought was Col
umbia Wilkes" At the first trial the
jury disagreed. Columbia Wilkes was
produced in evidence and identified.
