LkYSlh ISLAND CASE
READY FOR ARGUMENT.

The case of the killing Of the jap
anese laborers at Laysan Island las.
month was finished in the police court
yesterday afternoon as far as the TAX
ing Of evidence goes. On Friday The
prosecution and the defense will argue
the matter and it will then be left TO
the decision of the district magistrate.
Captain Spencer was on the stand
yesterday during the first part OF the
session. His testimony was about the
same as the day before. There was a
noticeable difference between the story
told of the shooting by Captain Spell
Ger and the luna, Spinner. The latter
denied having shot at the Japanese.
After the trouble was over Captain
Spencer testified that Spillner came TO
him and boosted of the part he had
taken in the ARRAY. According to the
testimony Of the captain, Spillner had
said that his shots had also counted
in the fight
The last witness was DR.. Ayerdam.
the manager OF the Hawaiian Fertilizer
works. This is the company that con-
trolls the Laysan guano deposit and for
which Captain Spencer worked He
testified that the work OF Captain
Spencer az the island was entirely sat-
isfactory to the company In every way.
He also said that the charges made by
Spillner were all wrong. It seems tina.
Spillner made the charge that liquor
vas being sold from the Ceylon TO
those on the island. 1t appears that
this was true, but that Spillner was
the purchaser and Spillner was the
man who had made the charges He
had borrowed $50 from Wohlers, the
old carpenter, to do the buying with
A postponement OF the case for arsu-
ment until Friday at 1880 o'clock was
asked that the testimony Of the w.t.
nesses might be written out and pre-
pared for use in the arguments. There
win be about 200 pages OF typewriter
matter to prepare both the defense and
prosecution. a. they both bad stenog-
raphers At work during the whole trial

General Botha. who is not addicted
to crying out against the enemy. but
rather fond OF praising the valor and
bravery OF the British troops, also
spoke of the six decapitated bodies Of
British soldiers that were found on the
battlefield of Spion kop.
These bodies, the heads of which
were lying from = To Is feet distant,
were seen as long as five days after the
battle by every general and correspond

the decapitation was as clean and clear

The general spoke at length concern
ing the improper way the British bury
their dead, and his statements are
borne out by every visitor to the bat

smith He said that the British com
manders had no excuse for not inter

as civilized armies should act After
the battle at Colenso,' he said, Il re-
ceiyed a letter from the British com
manding officer asking for a "a hours

OF course l readily granted the request,
and they made an attempt to bury
them. but III scores of instances they
did ii most improperly"
Several hours after the burial party
at Colenso left the field 1t presented a
most grewsome appearance There

dreds of aasvogels tvultures) were
swarming over the scene. This part
of General Botha's narrative Is sub
stantiated by photographs which are
so grewsome that no newspaper in a
Christian country would produce them.
The battle at Spion kop was followed
by even more distressing conduct on
the part of the British commanders.
Immediately after the fight the Brit
ish forces retreated 10 miles and did
not bury single one of the hundreds
of soldiers that were killed in that
fight. The Boer commander. General
Burger, sent three letters to the Brit
ish commander requesting him to send
burial parties. but not one Of the let
tiers was answered, nor was an effort
made during the following seven days
TO inter the dead.
Finally General Burger sent a fourth |
letter asking whether the British would
bury the dead and stating that the
Beers would do so IL the shell fire were
withdrawn from that position. A re-
ply was made to this letter. and its con-
tents. Bury the dead and send US the
account of the expenses" was far from
pleasing to General Burger, who, how
ever, buried the dead eight days after
the battle. The letter from the Brit
ish commander is now in the posses
