er Enterprise. The plaintiff was award
ed damages in the sum of $50. the
grounds being that he was improperly
treated on the voyage and for assault
upon him within the three mile limit of
Honolulu harbor. 1t is asserted that
the captain of the vessel will appeal to
the United States Court. The argu-
ment of the decision was based on a
Congressional Statute of 1898, prohibit
ing corporal punishment aboard Am
erican vessels. By the provisions of
this statute any officer so inflicting
punishment upon one of the seamen is
liable to Imprisonment or fine.
ESTEE HAD NO JURISDICTION.

Llewellyn case came up before Judge

on account of the ship being of British
register. Her Britannia Majesty's con-
sui, VIM. Hoare, was present and stat
ed he had already taken official notice
of the complaint. Judge Estee remark
ed that he was glad to turn the case
over to him as it was properly in the
jurisdiction of the consul. The Judge
assessed the ship for costs of the pro-
ceeding.

to discontinue the same.
JURY DISMISSED FOR THE TERM
The jury which has been serving
faithfully in the Circuit Court for the
past two weeks, completed it's labors
yesterday and was discharged from
further duty for the term by Judge
Humphreys at the termination of the
Xii case. In discharging them TIL
Judge remarked that in future hi
would see that no jury was worked TO
a longer time than two weeks, as h
would empanel another venire, so tina
their places could be filled at the enc
of that time. He did not believe it wa
right that the same men should sit con
tinually in the jury box, taking then
away from their business and making
ii inconvenient for them. The last jur
had served faithfully, and he did no
believe it was right to make dray horse
out of them. Probate matters will b
taken up in the Circuit Court thi
, morning.

Judge Humphreys dropped bomb

the murder cases OF Amimoto and
Samuel Barney. The juries were housed
nj the Hawaiian Hotel on August
2Sth the trial Of Amimoto was on and
that night the twelve wise men were
taken 90 the hotel where they had din
ner and slept at one OF the finest cot
tages In the grounds under surveillance
OF the court bailifrs.
Evidently the jurymen were not sleepy.
They wanted 20 keep awake and talk
II over" IL Is evident from the bin
which the manager OF the hotel pre-
sentcd 90 the judiciary department for
the entertainment afforded the twelve
gentlemen that Il was a case of drink

the hotel bar for n box OF cigars for

Judge Humphreys was handed the

Raymond Reyes. formerly a native of
the annexed island of Guam, appeared
in Judge Estee's court yesterday to be
admitted to citizenship. Although after
stating he was from Guam the
Judge was, inclined to the opinion that
he was already an American citizen,
yet to clinch the matter Reyes went
through the form of seeking naturaliza-
ton. Judge Estee stated that by the
terms of the treaty with Spain he was
of the opinion that Reyes, as a Guam
man, was entitled to citizenship by a
clause which appeared in the treaty tC
the effect that two years after the sign
ing of the treaty all Guam islanders
who had not returned to Spain, would
be considered American citizens. Th'
Judge went on the safe side of the mat
ter. however, and Reyes Is now mos
certainly a citizen OF the United States

n Bayonet Charge.
London. Jan. 26.-The following dis
patch from General Butler, dated
spearmans, Jan. IS, has just been
posted by the war office:
Warren holds the position he
gained two days ago, In front Of him,
at about 1 400 yards, is the enemy's po-
sition, west of Spionkop. 1t is on
higher ground than Warren's position,
SO it is impossible to see into it prop
erly.
1T can be approached only over bare
open slopes, and the ridges held by
Warren are so steep that guns cannot
be placed on them. But we are she'll
ing the enemy's position with howitz-
ers and field artillery, placed on lower
ground behind infantry.
THE enemy is replying with Creosot
and other artillery. In this duel the
advantage rests with us, as we appear
to be searching his trenches and his
artillery fire is not causing US much
loss.
IAN attempt will be made to seize
Spionkop, the saliant OF which forms
the snemy's position facing Trichara's
Drift and which divides it from the
position facing Potgieter's Drift.
General Buffers great turning move
ment, Of which so much was expected.
has come TO u standstill. His carefully
worded message to the war Office tell
ing this, after = silence OF two DAYS,
reads like an apology and an explana-
ton.
General Warren holds the ridges. but
the enemy's posit ions are higher. TIE
British artillery is playing on the Boer
positions, and the Beers are replying.
The British infantry is separated by
only l,400 yards from the enemy, but
an approach to the steep slopes, across
the bare open, would expose the Brit
ish to fatal rifle fire.
