Emotion--May Get Jail Sentence
Other Charges Pending Against
Him.

Olympia, Wash, Dec 14.-After be-
ing out five hours and Is minutes
the jury in the case against former
Adjutant General Otis Hamilton
charged with larceny by embeZzle-
ment, returned a verdict of guilty yes
terday.
Hamilton is the son of a wealthy
farmer in Whitman county, Washing
ton.
Hamilton, who has retained his
composure from the beginning was
peared as unconcerned as on the day
the trial opened here three weeks ago
The defense gave notice of appeal to-
day.
The penalty provided by law is
from one to ten years in the state
penitentiary. 1t is possible for the
Judge to have him serve minimum
sentence in the county jail instead OF
in the penitentiary.
The case went to the jury yesterday
afternoon. The attorneys for the de-
fense submitted no argument. The
charge upon which Hamilton was
tried was securing $500 belonging
to the state military fund by forging
vouchers There are several Other
charges pending against Hamilton

belonging to the state, which money
he is alleged to have spent on Haze

Brussels Dec. l4.-An official bull
letin issued at IL this morning, says:
King Leopold was operated upon sue
cessfully by Doctors Thiriard, Stein
on and Delage. The operation was
performed this morning. Accord
ing to statements of the Americans
the king has bare chance of recov-
cry. Hope is based upon the fact that
intestinal Instructions which were
supposed to have been the source of
the monarch's illness, have been re-
moved. 1t was stated that no trace Of
a tpmor was found.
The king rested we'll early in the
night and when the physicians awak-
ened him to prepare for the opera
tion, he faced the ordeal bravely. Not
until the attendants started to admin
ister the anaesthetic did he exhibit
any signs of nervousness or fear. At
this time the physicians were COM
PEELED to hurry the operation which
usually is not considered dangerous.
They actually feared it is stated, that
he would not survive the shock. Prin-
cess Clementine, Leopold's favorite
daughter, insisted upon remaining in
the room while the operation was per-
formed She bore up bravely until
they finished the task, and then
swooned.
\ curious circumstance is the fact
that Brussels appears to be more oc-
cupied with the sensational chapters
in King Leopold's career than with
his illness. The situation is sum-
married. by a well informed official,
who said last night:
Leopold does not understand the
Belgians, and the Belgians do not un-
derstand Leopold. So. perhaps, they
have grown apart. The Belgians have
come TO consider King Leopold as a
great business man, a great interna-
tional promoter, who at the same time
has done much good for Belgium
Baroness Vaughan, it is rumored,
insisted upon seeing the king today.
thus furnishing an exciting incident,
but did not succeed in carrying out
( her plan.
1t is also reported that she was in
formed that if the king died she
would not be allowed to remain in
Belgium.

could procure food of sufficient guam
tity and quality to enable them to
