relieved the American government of
considerable anxiety.
Secretary Bryan said he had no
further word about j. R. Silliman, the
missing American vice consul, and
believed he was still in Saltillo. AL
though the Huerta government has
ordered Silliman's release. there is
some doubt here about the ability
of Mexico officials to communicate
with Saltillo, as the telegraph lines

The wife of local army officer has
received a letter from her sister, also
the wife OF an army officer stationed

rival at that port of little band of
refugees from Mexico, who relate tales
of robbery and outrages almost too
terrible to believe.
The letter In part reads:
This morning MAY 81 four Amer

reached the post. They told the most
blood d-curdling tales about their ex-
periences in getting away. not the
least of which was the-fact that they
were robbed by Mexicans before pro
ceeding very far on their journey.
Probably the most heart-rending
of their stories was that relating to
a fourteen month old baby that was
beaten into insensibility by Mexicans
"One of the men was seized and
only the Intervention of the Germans
saved him. It was the Mexican White
Cross people who burned the flag
according to tales brought here.

DECISION COVERS EVERY
DETAIL OF NOTED CASE
Convicted EmbezZler Not Sue
cesSfuI in Fight Against the
Original Verdict

Sustaining the decision Of the lOw-
er court. which convicted former Su.
pervisor David Kealoha of Hawaii to
a prison term, the supreme court
this morning handed down decision.
The opinion, which was given by
Chief Justice Robertson, states that
all the exceptions have been consid-
cred and they are overruled.
The decision, which is a very
lengthy one, goes into all the details
of the exceptions taken by the de-
tense at the trial OF Supervisor Kea-
loha for embezzlement The defend
ant was convicted in the circuit court
of the fourth circuit and an appeal
was taken to the supreme court. The
defense claimed that numerous errors
were committed during the course Of
the proceedings In the circuit court
which resulted In the conviction OF
Keal0ha.
What was probably the most ifnp0r-
tant Of the instructions given at the
request Of the prosecution was the
following: If you believe from the
evidence beyond q reasonable doubt
that the defendant did. on or about
the date alleged In the indictment,
embezzle and fraudulently convert 70
his own use and benefit, the sum Of
forty.fiye dollars mentioned in the
Indictment, or any portion thereof
and that the said sum was then and
there the property Of the county OF
Hawaii, and was so embezzled and
fraudulently converted and disposed
of as Aforesaid, without the consent
and against the win of said county Of
Hawaii, and If You further believe
from the evidence beyond reasona.
BILE doubt that at the time the said
money was so embezzled and fraud

aforesaid, said defendant had posses
sion Of the same b7 virtue .of his eIlls
.pioyment as road OvefsEer 81 the dis.
trict of South HiIo, county and terri
tory Of Hawaii, then you are instruct
ed to find him guilty.
No objection was made or exception
taken by the defendant to the giving
OF that instruction, and under II, as
already pointed out, the evidence was
sufficient to warrant the jury In find
ing the defendant guilty.

FORT SHAFTER. May 13.-In COM
pliment to the captain, officers and ca.

now in Honolulu, the I'd Infantry
turned out this morning for review.
The ceremony took place at exactly
nine o'clock at which time the visitors
made their appearance at the review
ing point Immediately in front OF Coll
onel French's quarters.
The regiment having previously
formed in masses and standing at
ease on the parade ground the cere-
mony was inaugurated by the COM
mand forming line of masses after
which the adiutant presented the COM
mand to Lieut.. Col Atkinson, con1
manding, and Coleuel Atkinsen. In re-
turn, presented the regiment as form
ed to the reviewing officer, Colonel
French, who was ACCOMPANIED by the
senior officer of the visitors.
The remainder Of the party in whose
honor the review was given formed
in two ranks In rear of Colonel
French and Captain Hirada. The
march past was superbfy performed
and the eleven big companies made a
splendid showing. The review proper
was not preceded by the ride around
the line as Is ordinarily required for
the reason that Colonel French re-
ceived the review dismounted. It was
observed that the captain was most
precise IN acknowledging the salutes
Of the commanders of the subdivisions

whole party of foreigners were most
prompt to pay respect to the national
