BIG SEIZURE
OF DIAMONDS
UNEARTHs ALLEGED SCHEME TO
sMUGGLE PRECIOUS STONES
INTO UNITED STATES.
BY Associated Press.

San Francisco, March 1o.-Twelve
thousand dollars worth of DIAMONDS
have been seized Oy the collector of
customs at this port. Louis Hospital,
an agent for a French diamond Arm,
had an assignment of diamonds from
the firm at Havana, where he was to
dispose of them. From Havana Hos
pidal went to Mexico, thence to this
city, where he was arrest ed, but upon
giving up the diamonds to another
agent Of the French house, he was re-
leased and promised immunity from
prosecution by the firm. The collec-
tor of customs then seized the ola
monds in the possession of the agent,
and now holds them in his custody.
He is about to enter suit to condemn
and forfeit the diamonds as struggled
goods, on the ground that the stones
were not imported by the owners, but
as stolen property. The matter has
been referred to the authorities at
Washington for Instructions.

to the west and south have swollen
all streams along the Santa Fe, Pa-
cific and Rio Grandle divisions of the
Santa Fe and the line is badly Grip
pied.
The big blue water dam on the Rio
San Jose and the Cubero dam on the
same stream have gone out and the
floods nave played havoc with the
Santa Ee tracks which closely paral-
lei chat stream for nearly two miles.
The huge bridge at Rio Puerco station
where &he railroad crosses the Rio
Pueroo buttressed with immense stone
walls at enormous cost year ago, is
so badly damaged that it is impossible
to get trains across it.
The track along the Rio Grande
near La Joya south of this city, near
the confluence Of the no Puerco, with
the Rio Grande, is badly damaged,
large stretches being completely
washed away. Five hundred In0aans

PEAB0DY-ADAMS
CONTROVERSY
SETTLEMENT BY FAIR VOTE IS
DESIRED BY BOTH THE
CONTESTANTS.
BY Associated Press.

Denver, Col, March 10.-Neith
Governor Alva Adams nor former Gov
ernor James H. Peabody want the
governorship contest settled by any
process of procedure except a fair
vote in the joint assembly on the ques'
ton as to which of them Is entitled TO
hole the Office. The submission to
the supreme court fer its opinion of
the questions involved in Senator
Alexander's resolutions, to declare
last November's election void and de-
clare the Office of governor vacant,
seems 10 be merely a device OF the
Peabody republicans to bring about
a situation where a straight vote on
the resolutions to Gust Governor
Adams and declare Peabody elected
will be forced. 1t is not expected that
the supreme court will decide that the
legislature can declare the executive
oA&ir vacant and Peabodgls support
erS planned early tosaay TO nullify
the movement of the anti-Peabody re-
publicans In favor of seating Lieuten-
ant Governor Mcdonald in the chair
Of chief executive. This done, they
believe Peabody can secure a majority
ever Adams in the decision of the
contest.

CHADWICK CASE
NEARING END
DEFENDANT HAS LOST MUCH OF
HER Courage AND SAYS
SHE HAS NO CHANCE.
BY Associated Press.

Cleveland, March IO.-Saturday will
probably see the close Of the present
trial of Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick and
the case viii probably be given to the
jury Saturday afternoon. To-day was
a trying day for Mrs. Chadwick, her
pale face ana nervous manner showed
that the trial is telling on her. She
was greatly discouraged at the time
Of the midday adjournment and said /:
4 have about given up all hope. !
haven't any chance in this court y
Her troubles viii not be over even if
she is acquitted in the present case.
District Attorney Sullivan this after.
noon said he would bring about a sec.
ond trial on another indictment imme.
diately in the event of her acquittal in
the present case.
When court opened this morning
Judge Taylor asked tae counsel on
both sides to indicate the length of
time they would require for their ar
guments. He had no desire, he said,
TO limit the arguments in any way,
but wished the attorneys to reach an
agreement Of some kind.
After a conference between District
Attorney Sullivan and Attorney J. p.
Dawley for the defense, it was agreed
that the arguments should be pFacti-
cally unlimited. Neither Mr.. Sullivan
or Mr. Dawiey was able 20 say just
how much time would be required.
but both were Of the opinion that all
the arguments would consume more
than the two sessions Of the day.
Assistant District Attorney Garry
made the opening argument for the
government. He confined himself
chiefly TO the law Of the case, claim
ing that an agreement TO commit an
unlawful act was in itself conspiracy
and that the agreement carried with
Il the intent 10 violate the law.
Mr.. Garry spoke for about one and
one-half hours. He was followed by
Mr.. Dawley for the defense. The
closing arguments will be delivered
by Judge Wing for Mrs. Chadwick and
District Attorney Sullivan for the gov
eminent.

The greatest defeat in the history
OF the Far Eastern war was made
known here last night, but only in the
foregoing message frenl, General Kurp-
patkln to Emperor Niehvias. This
brief message was flung about the
streets in newspaper extras and was
passed from mouth to mouth. Two
thoughts formed instantly in the minds
OF every oae, and two words we're on

the former dreaded. the latter hoped

ing to cut his way through to safety,
or whether, as many pessimists be-
e.
If he has 6ed into the mountains he
will be inevitably hemmed IN and
starved into surrender. The dispatch
from Kuropatl1in has been studied,
and from the words all orr armies,
optinists draw the conclusion that the
bulk of the Russian army got away

ficing, however, the devoted rear

GERS had ordered the strikers to re-

to show that the order had been heed

While there was some Improvement
in the operation OF trains on all lines
