Testimony in the Case of Major
Edwin +. Glenn.

MANILA, Dec 15.-The court-martial
the Fifth Infantry, has decided to summon
Generals Chaffee and Smith from the
United States to testify as to orders given
during the conduct of the campaign on the
Island OF Samar, and as to the character
of the campaign waged there. The court
martial was organized to-day, and Major
Glenn arraigned. The formal charge
against the major is that he unlawfully
and willfully killed seven prisoners of war;
to the prejudice of good order and military
discipline, and violated the sixty-second
article of war.
Major Glenn first entered a special plea
denying the jurisdiction of the court, on
the ground that it lacked power to try a
prisoner charged with murder in times of
peace. Judge Advocate Cooler denied that
Major Glenn was charged with murder,
and the court overruled the objection.
Major Glenn then pleaded not guilty The
defense submitted a request asking the
Generals Chaffee and Smith from the
United States. This request was granted
The prosecution then asked for an adjourn

BlOckaders Notified Not to Interfere
with American Shipping.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Minister Bowen
has confirmed the press reports to the eff
feet that the guns of the allied fleet which
bombarded Puerto Cabello on Saturday
were directed entirely at the Notifications
and not at the town. Regrettable as Ii was.
this statement relieves the affair of the
first suspicion that IL constituted a viola
ton OF international law In the fact that
twenty-four hours notice was not served

to notice applies to unfortihed or fortified
towns where the fire must be directed upon
the inhabitants. and this was not the case
at Puerto Cabello. so that. while the officials
here regret that the firing took place they

ace Car Company are preparing to take

untenable.
A dispatch from Paris dated this morn
ing says: 1.-The Matin publishes a dis
patch from Caracas saying that a great
many of the British and German residents
OF Caracas have sought out President Cas-

Another dispatch to the Paris Matin from
Caracas says: '"The English are building

Colombia Preparing to Attack Nica-
ragua for Mercenary Reasons.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l5.-Whatever doubt
existed in Nicaragua as to the intention
of Colombia to carry out her threat TO at
tack her as soon as her own revolutionary
movement had been ended is removed by
the receipt of advices of a semi-of1cial
character that the Colombian officers at
Panama and Colon are steadily but quietly
making ready for an invasion of Nicaragua.
1t is stated that there is a double rea-
son for the attack. In the first place
Colombia wishes to take forcible posses
sion of the Mosquito strip which would
give control of both routes available for
an isthmian canal and enable her TO
make her own terms, and secondly she
must find congenial employment for the
Colombian soldiers who, having been Tight
ing rebels for four years, cannot be easily
turned to ways OF peace, and would. II Is
feared, start new revolution If not al
lowed an outlet for their energies outside
of Colombia. The advices are to the ef-

shall figure in the commissions effort to
adjust the controversy came squarely be-
fore the arbitrators. The decision of the
commission, If Chairman Gray's remarks
can be so called was briefly this: That
the commission in general way, is ad-
verse to widening the scope of the fnvesu-
cation beyond the terms of the submis-
sons of the miners and the operators; that
in carrying on the investigation ii assumes
the coal companies can afford TO pay fair
wages; that if the coal companies, in pre-
senting their side of the case, maintain
they cannot afford TO give an increase in
wages then the commission will hear what
the miners have TO say on the ability of
the companies 10 do so and that If busi-
ness cannot pay fair wages the employer
ought to get out of Ii. These points were
brought out during the two hours con-
Sumed by the miners lawyers reading doc
umentary evidence, to the whole of which
the coal companies entered specific and
general objections.
The mine workers presented evidence to
show that the coal-carrying railroads con-
troll the coal companies and that the rail-
roads charge exorbitant and discriminating
freight rates, thus greatly decreasing the
revenues of the mining properties. The
early part of the afternoon session was
taken up in hearing the testimony of the
remaining witnesses who are or have been

MR.. LLOYDS REMARKS.
Mr.. Lloyd read a syllabus of the docu-
ments he had to present. He said: For
the purpose Of connecting the present facts
with the past. we offer evidence of the,
causes, character and result of the combi-
nations, both of labor and capital, in the
anthracite coal industry. The profits of
the business, both of mining and trans
portation; the relations of transportation
companies to operators and minors AND
the political and social consequences that
have resulted. This evidence thus offered
we obtained from the reports of various
legislative Investigations by the States of
New York and Pennsylvania and by Con-
gress, from 1871 to the present time and
embraces, we believe, all the important in
quiries of that character which have been
made"

was an extract from the first annual re-

THE JURY'S RIGHT.
Judge Baker then called attention TO the
fact that the jury has the right TO deter
mine whether or not the plaintiff is entitled
to damages. Two forms of verdict were
given to the jury. one finding for the de-
PENDANTS and the other finding for the
plaintiff. naming the defendants who were
guilty of assault and conspiracy and the
amount of damages. Judge Baker said the
evidence against Adds and Kemp. two or
the defendants. was not strong enough 10
warrant a verdict against them.
c. c. Hadley closed the argument for the
defense in the morning. and he bitterly ar
raigned the character of Jennings. He al
luded to him as a libeler of defenseless
women, a man who. like hyena, had dug
up the bones OF the past and made them
public. He pointed out that Jennings had
been arrested for assaulting women and
children. Mr.. Hadley brought out forcibly
the character of the defendants as COM
pared with that OF Jennings He reviewed
the testimony of both sides and declared
the defendants had not used more force
than was necessary 10 get the scurrilous
pamphlets.
Attorney Rocker closed the argument for
the plaintiff in the afternoon and claimed
that the defendants used the pamphlets as
a pretext to assault Jennings. He claimed
no appeal was made TO Jennings TO deliver
the pamphlets, but the defendants used
force TO gain possession of them.
