ORDERS FOR 0. S. SQUADRON
Consuls and Observers Leaving for the
Seat of War.

=
/ Washington. Feb. 9.-Orders have
been prepared sending the cruiser
squadron of the Asiatic fleet north
ward from Subig bay to the vicinity Of
Port Arthur to observe the Japanese
Russian naval operations and to be at
hand to protect American interests.
The cruiser squadron consists of the
Albany flagship; the New Orleans,
Raleigh and Cincinnati. In case the
squadron goes northward it is expect
ed here that Rear Admiral Evans will
transfer his flag to the Albany and as
sumo command of the squadron, re-
manning in the far east after his regu-
lar tour of duty has expired to observe
the war.
1t practically has been settled that
the United States army shall be rep
resented as military observer with
the Russian army by Brigadier Gener-
al Henry T. Allen, chief of the Philip
pine ,constabulary. Major Oliver b.
Wood will be United States military
observer with the Japanese army. He
has been for some time United States
military attache at Toxic and at Seoul
and he is said to be exceedingly pop
ular with the Japanese army officers.

The navy denartrnent will make no
effort to place United States naval

consent could not be had from either
party and in refusing Russia and
Japan simply would be following the
example set by the United States in

deliberately precipitated the crisis by
secretly dlspatching a few days ago

escorted by a fleet and landing them
near the Yalu river, thus occupying

Jones' Right What
Colonies Fought For

According to counsel in the JONES
case even the heroes OF ~ fought for
the contentious of e. NJ. Jones' and
one of the important elements of King
Georges tyranny, which caused the
American Colonies to fight under
George Washington, was the British
custom of taking defendants from their
home districts for trial, just as Jones'
attorneys say an effort is now being
made to take him. Judge Robinson
was engaged all this morning hearing

to Kauai, and during the course of the
argument Dunno introduced the Decla-
ration of Independence, the Bill of
Rights and Magma Charta.
zone of the reasons why the Colonies
parted from the Mother country was
what this man is protesting against
now" said Dunno. zone of the mat
ters set forth in the Declaration of In
dependence was that Great Britain had
taken accused men away from their
own districts to try them among
strangers, denying them the right of
trial by their peers of the vicinage.
This was one Of the declarations of
rights Of IVA" Dunno quoted Cooley
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1904-03-23

and other authorities to the effect that
under the common law every accused
had right to trial i'm his home dis
trict so that he might have the benefit
of whatever good repute he had es-
tablished and of the knowledge the
jurors might have of such witnesses
as were brought before him.
When the case opened Robertson pre-
scented some new objections to the
change of venue, whether on motion of
the court or of the prosecution. One
new ground was that the defendant
Jones was unable to Dear the expense

of his own and one by J. j. Dunno
showing that neither could attend the
Kauai circuit court term without Sc
rious inconvenience and loss. Robert
son then proceeded to argue the OBJ
jections to a change of venue on the
two grounds that it deprived the de-
PENDANT of his right to be tried in his
home district, and that it subjected
him to expenses and deprivation of
counsel which amounted to a denial of
justice.

A LESSON TN MARRIAGE LAW

United States Marshal Hendry left
for Lahaina last night with warrants
for the arrest of the two Japanese who
were married under the reported de-
cisiOn by District Judge Kahaulelio
that marriages contracted in "other
countries" were not according to the
laws of Hawaii. The woman had been
married in Japan and was the wife of
TOrataro Matsumoto. She and her
new husband are charged with adultery
The main purpose of the case is to
get a definite court ruling before the
Japanese, which will counteract the
impression left by Kahaulelio's state
ment, and will, it is believed, do much
to prevent trouble. The Japanese con-
sui has interested himself in the mat
ter, as the wrong impressions prevail
