A BRIEF SESSION.
An Easy Matter to Have Landed Live
Beef at Santiago.

Washington. April 22.-rhe war court
of inquiry held a brief afternoon ses-
sion to-day to listen to the reading of
dispositions and take the testimony of
Major James H. Lancaster of the 4th
artillery.
Major Lancaster said that while his
command was in Porto Rico they ate
only native beef and that 1T was relish
ed. He expressed the opinion that live
cattle could have been landed at Dai-
quiri, basing this opinion upon the fact
that while at Daiquiri he landed 700
horses. He thought 400 or 500 cattle
could have been landed within "a hours.
The dispositions read were from Alex
ander Powell, the owner of the Powell
process for preserving meat. and D.
Berry. a reporter of the New York
Times. Powell stated that he did not
use formaldehyde in his process and
does not know what it is.
Mr.. Berry was present on the 31St of
January last, when Sidney Reide of the
associated press interviewed General
Miles. He said that he and Mr.. Reide
compared notes on the interview and
that their accounts agreed substantially.
The remainder of the day was devoted
to an examination of testimony and 10
work on the report of the courts find
ingS.

THEY WERE UGLY TRUTHS.
Heretofore CLOSED Over by the Ad-
ministration.

mlntSCFaVhOn.
Washington, April 22.-The German
amba ssador. DR.. Won Holleben, called
on Secretary Hay to-day, which led
to reports that attention of the state
department had been called to the re-
marks of Captain Coghlan of the crui-
ser Raleigh at the New York banquet
last night relating his personal obser-
vations of a rebuke and threat admin
istered by Admiral Dewey to the Ger
man naval commanders at Manila. 1t
was stated positively, however, that no
protest or representations were made
in German quarters; that this is a mat
ter in which the authorities of the
United States should be left to take
the initiative. At the same time it is
known that Captain Coghlan's remarks
caused considerable displeasure in high
diplomatic and naval quarters, mainly
because they are contrary to the pol
icy which the two governments have
adopted, of giving as little public ex-
preston as possible to the friction that
may have occurred at Manila.
In several quarters there is a disposi-
tion to regard Captain Coghlan's state
ment as giving rather ugly truths,
which have heretofore been CLOSED over
on grounds of public policy. The naval
officers have shared the policy of min
imizing the frictions at Manila, but in
the present case. owing to Captain
Coghlan's splendid service, they are not
disposed to be captious in their crit
icsm of his utterances.

CALIFORNIA VICTORIOUS.
Won by II Points in the intercollegiate
Field Day.

San Francisco, April 22.-The Univer-
sity of California was easily victorious
to-day over the Leland Stanford, jr.,
university at the seventh inter-colle-
giate field day.
Score by points: California, "a;
Stanford. 43. No records We're broken
and the points merely represent the
work of a fairly good team over a very
Indifferent aggregation of athletes.
Field day was anticipated with consid-
cradle apprehension by the members of
the faculty in each university, a gen.
eral riot being feared. The Stanford
students had vowed they would win
back by muscular superiority the mas
cot axe, which had been wrwested from
them by the Berkeley students at the
baseball contest last Saturday.
Trouble was avoided by the wise ac-
tion of Berkeley professors, who pro-
hibited the display of the axe on the
campus, and nothing beyond the usual
disturbances occurred.
At tennis Stanford was more fortu-
nate, winning the eighth inter-colle-
giate tournament Stanford won the
doubles and the first class singles. Cal
ifornia was the winner in the second
class singles only.

READY FOR ARGUMENT.
Salacious Details in the George Trial
We're Ruled Out.

Salacious Details in the George Trial
Were Ruled Out.
Canton, Ohio. April 22.-The jury has
heard all the evidence for and against
Mrs. Anna George, on trial for the
murder of George Saxton. The lat
est testimony was given at 23S p. M,
when the state closed in rebuttal. The
defense offered no sub-rebuttal.
At that hour court adjourned to Mon
day morning, when arguments in the
case will begin. These arguments it is
anticipated, will occupy all of Monday
and Tuesdays session. They will be
followed by the charge of the judge
and the case will probably be with the
jury some time Wednesday after
noon.
The court will not limit the argu-
ments, it is now understood. but an
agreement will probably be reached by
the attorneys at the Monday morning
opening as to what time will be occu-
pied. The state will open and close,
the two attorneys for the defense
speaking between the two attorneys for
the state.
The court put very close limit on
the evidence in rebuttal. Most of the
proffered evidence was in regard to
Mrs. Georges conduct in regard to men
other than SaXton.
In an affidavit she signed while in
South Dakota, declaring that her sepa-
ration from her former husband was
not due to SaXton's solicitation but
because of her former husbands cruel
| ty. Also two letters identified as being
| in her handwriting from the same place
at the same time to Canton business
| man other than SaXton, in which she
sought, according to the language of
| the letters, appointments with him on
| her return to Canton before meeting
| SaXton.
| There were also a number of wit
| nesses on hand to testify to the
| troubles between the accused and her
| former husband and to the alleged i'm
| proper relations with other men, but
| all of this was barred under the rule
| laid down by the court. ~..-

New York, April 22-The Army and
Navy club gave a reception to Captain
Coghlan and to the officers of the Unit
ed States cruiser Raleigh at the club
! house tonight. Captain Coghlan
made speech, in which he reiterated
what he said before the Union League
club on Friday night. He said, in part:
Il feel inclined to say only a few
words this evening. because what I said

ing upon the roof. The high wind
which was blowing caught the sparks
and whirled them into the gable of the
roof, causing the flames to progress
downward very rapidly.
Several rooms were gutted, much
damage resulting before the hotel fire
brigade, aided by the Monterey fire
company, succeeded in subduing the
flames. For time it seemed as if the
building was doomed.
About 400 guests We're in the hotel,
many occupying rooms in the wing that
took fire Great excitement prevailed
and guests threw their valuables out
of the window. No injuries to life or
limb are yet reported.
At late hour the fire was extin-
guished, but a careful watch was kept
to prevent it breaking out again. The
amount of damage is not yet known
definitely, but will probably be in the
neighborhood of $4,000.

Negro Retaliation.

Charleston S. c.. April 22.-As an out
come of the Greenwood county lynch
ing the negroes of Richardsville have
determined to prevent negro lynchings
and whitecapping. The plan adopted
is to murder a white man or burn the

influences the passions of his flock by
his constant repetitions of the Phoenix
slaughter of negroes and other out
ragges inflicted upon the race. No ac-
ton has yet been taken by the whites.
