Alleged That Proprietor of City

Savage Blow on the

Fred Bryan, proprietor of the City
hotel, was arrested last night on the
charge Of assaulting his bar tender,
Harry Morgan, and as the latter died at
2:2O this morning, the charge was chang
ed to that Of manslaughter
Bryan. it is said has been drinking for
some time, and last night at 7:3O. in the
course Of an alteration with Morgan, he
is said to have dealt him a severe blow
on the head with his fist.
Morgan was a comparatively feeble

CASE DISCUSSED WITH ROOT

WASHINGTON, March H.-Secretary
Root was in consultation for some time
with President Roosevelt at the White
house tonight regarding the statement of
Gen. Miles before the military affairs
committee of the senate. Senator Spooner
also was present.
Secretary Root declined to talk for pub
lication concerning the matter, saying
that he had not read the testimony given
by Gen. Miles before the committee. 1t
is understood that Gen Miles has been
furnished the stenographic report OF his
testimony for revision
1t is well understood that a great deal
Of what the general said will not appear
In the record. Members Of the commit
tee say the report published yesterday
afternoon was correct in substance in
every particular. At the same time these
senators do not agree that Gen. Miles can
be punished for his utterances before
the committee, whether they appear in
the record or not, OF course, the COM
mittee could take no action to prevent
the retirement of Gen. Miles. That, under
the law, is purely an executive act, and
needs no confirmation or approval of the
senate.
The statements were discussed by the
president today with a number of callers.
and there is little doubt that these
statements viii ultimately lead to Cen
Miles retirement by the president
In discussing the matter today with
his callers, among whom were Senators
and representatives, the president took
the position that the lieutenant general
OF the army should entertain toward his
superiors the same respect that he would
expect and demand from his subordin-
ates.
At the cabinet meeting today the pub
hcations relating to the statements made
by Gen Miles before the senate commit
tee yesterday We're brought up but con-
sideration of them was postponed until
all the facts in the matter became known.
Whatever intentions the president had
with respect to the treatment to be ac-
corded Gen. Miles, his future action will
be somewhat Influenced by the fact that
Gen. Miles statement before the senate
committee has been represented to him
as being privileged.
The president proposes to read the
testimony givnn at the hearing and TO
consult with different members Of the
committee on military affairs before
finally announcing what he proposes to
do. 1t is significant that long after the
cabinet meeting adjourned Secretary Root
and the attorn1S general was closete6
with the president. The president IS
known to have stated that he was tired
of the friction in the army, and whether
it is decided that Gen. Miles statement
was privileged or not, he will at no dis
tant day take action looking to his re-
tirement.

court opened this morning the jury in the
case of Stewart Fife, charged with The
murder of Frank Richardson at the the

returned verdict of acquittal. The iur-
ore were unanimous.
When the verdict was announced there
was dramatic scene in the court room
Mrs. Fife, mother of the accused. sprang
forward and embraced her son, shouting
Tor JOY. Mrs Fife has suffered from hys-
terra at intervals ever since her son was
arrested. Mrs. Richardson, widow Of the
murdered man, was also in the court
room and gave vent to her emotion.
This is the second trial in the Richars-
son murder, Mrs. Richardson having been
acquitted few weeks ago, and still the
mystery of Frank Richardson's sensa-
tional murder is unsolved. No other IN
dictments are pending and the incident is
now probably closed so far as the courta
are concerned.

NAVY AWES THE CENSOR
UNITED STATES WILL NOT ALLOW
ISTHMIAN CABLES BLOCKED.

WASHINGTON, March H.-The state
and navy departments have been in
formed of the purpose of the government
of Colombia to censor all dispatches pass
ing over the cables between diplomatic
and consular officers on the isthmus and
their home governments. The notice
came to the navy department from Capt.
Reissinger, of the Philadelphia, now at
Panama, and the state department had
its information from the cable COM
papies.
Not much Importance is attached to
the notice, as not many of these in re-
cent years We're enforced, at least against
the Un1ttd States
Our government being under obliga-
ton to protect isthmian transit, un-
doubtedly would hold that the free use
of the cables and teleghaphs is necessary
to the exercise of that power and would
not permit any Interference with iJ.
With a war vessel on either side of the
isthmus there is little doubt of the physi-
cal ability of our government to pro-
tect it's cable communication
