SMUGGLING CASES
duplicating Prominent Men Be-
ing Investigated at San Juan.
Grand y! Jury Asks for Information Al:
81 legged to Be Withheld. /,
Judge Holt Tells Them to Go Ahead,
Regardless Of Orders. 3. /

San Juan. p. R., April 1.-THE grand
jury is investigating the sO-called
smuggling cases in which, officers. of the
United States navy and other promi-
nent men are involved, Notwithstanding
the instructions which 1t is stated, Dis
trict Attorney Petingill has received
from the department of justice at
Washington not to present information
Ito the grand jury this term. The press
and the natives have practically de-
manded an Investigation, inasmuch as
last term native merchant named
Ricardo Amado was sentenced to a
years confinement in the penitentiary
and fine of $500, for having contra
band liquors in his possession.
This afternoon, the grand jury came
into court and asked for information.
The foreman said: "It has come to our
knowledge that certain cases of snug
Cling have occurred. We have asked
the district attorney about the matter
and he refused to bring up the matter
alleging that he had received certain
instructions. We now ask the judge if
we have a right to information in spite
of the district attorneys refusal"
Judge Holt had prepared a written
charge, the reading of which caused a
sensation. He said in part:
when you empannelled at the be-
ginning of the term you swore that
you would make diligent inquiry in
to, and true presentment of such mat
tiers given to you or which might other
wise come to your knowledge touching
violations of the statute of the United
States.' You could not, if you desired.
escape from the obligations Of your
oath by needing the instruction of any
one. The honored President of the
United States could pardon but he
could not interfere. If you believe that
anyone had given instructions tending
to prevent the fullest investigation in
to the commission of a crime in the
United States and the returning of an
indictment if the evidence so warrants,
then you should be inspired by an ad-
ditional determination to do your duty.
The court has knowledge of the in
structions to which the district attor-
neyi alludes. 1t is proper to say that
it is my opinion that there has been
no intentions of encroaching upon your
sworn duty or the judicial domain
The testimony submitted. last De-
cember, regarding the smuggling cases
pointed to a dozen prominent officials
of the navy. army and insular govern
ment and citizens being implicated in
the charges.

eYcAeLE.

The question of the control of the
proposed Bagdad Railway, which has
for a long time acted on anti-German
newspapers and politicians in Great
P~itain ike n red rag on a bull, has
been settled, by a triparute agreement
that was concluded last week. By the
terms England. France and Germany
will participate equally in the control:
The revenues will be guaranteed by the
Turkish customs. Three English d.
reotors have been already chosen, and
two or three more will be appointed
when the arrangements are completed.
The Industrial situation in Germany
Is showing further signs of improve
ment in various directions. Apart from
the restarting of the blast furnaces
which has been lying idle the most i'm
portant indication of the industrial re-
vival is the announcement of consider
able extensions by the krupp company
at an estimated cost of $5,O00,000. 1t Is
said to be the company's intention.
owing to lack of adequate space at
Essen, to remove the Bessemer works,
rail and rolling mills, and Siemens-
Martin plant to the new works at
Rfieinhausen, and four new rolling
mills are reported to be in process of
construction in that establishment.
Keen competition has been going on
for some time past between Liverpool
and Manchester with regard to the
importation of cotton from America.
1t Is admitted. even in Liverpool. that
Manchester is rapidly becoming seri-
GUS rival and that thousands of bales
of cotton are now being shipped direct
to Manchester instead Of via Liverpool.
This is OF course serious loss to the
shipowners in the. older port, and they
are tempting Manchester spinners to
have their cotton forwarded by rail to
the mills so as to save to Liverpool the
dock and town dues and other charges.
Manchester Is alarmed and the Cotton
Association of that city has drawn the
attention. of the Master Cotton Spin
ners' Association to what 1t terms the
determined effort on the part of Liver
pool to prevent the shipment Of Ameri-
can cotton to MANCHESTER. A joint
meeting of the two associations will be
held shortly with view to rouse the
Lancashire cotton trade to fight Liver
pools action and to endeavor to get the
spinnersi to insist on direct shipment.
