BLUE COATS INDICTED
Grand Jury Hot After New
York Police.
Illffh Officials Raid To Bo on the
List—Report flays That Twonty-
Soven Names Were Prosented and
That Five Indictments Were Re
turned Against One Officer.
Now York, March 19.—Consternation
again reigns in the police department as
a result of the latest developments in the
war against that body, known far and
wide for its corrupt practices. The pre
sentment of tho extraordinary grand
jury is the cause of the present excite
ment. Of course there was great secrecy
regarding the names of those indicted,
until after the warrants could be served,
but rumor at once selected tho following
as among tho twenty-seven names re
ported to have been handed in:
Alexander S. Williams, inspector; Wil
liam McLaughlin, inspector; Jacob Sie
bert, captain; William Meakin, captain;
James K. Price, captain, and William
Schultze, captain.
The indictments charge tho men with
bribery and corruption.
Thero woro live indictments filed
against Inspector McLaughlin.
Tho presentment is in part as follows:
"Court of Oyer and Terminer of tho
city and county of New York, to the
lion. George L. Ingraham.
"It is now two years since a former
grand jury filed in tho court of general
sessions a presentment calling attention
to facts which show widespread corrup
tion in the department of police.
"Circumstances and testimony offered
have tended to show financial considera
tions in some cases for lax administra
tion. Indeed, the publicity with which
the law is violated and tho immunity
from arrest enjoyed by the law-breakers,
is inconsistent with any other theory. It
is obvious that when a confession by a
law-breaker of payment for protection
would subject him to penalties, not only
to punishment for his acknowledged
crime, but also for bribe giving, it is ex
tremely difficult to collect trustworthy
evidence in direct proof of such charges.
"At tho outset of our labors we recog
nized tho many difficulties with which
we were be9et and to which our prede
cessors referred, and we anticipated the
obstacles which we would bo likely to en
counter, and, in pursuing our inquiries
we found these difficulties most embar
rassing and tho obstacles at times seem
ingly unsurmountable.
"To many members of tho forco, offi
cers and men, much credit is due that in
time of general corruption and dogreda
tion they have remained faithful.
"In our opinion tho great body of sub
ordinate police officers are honest and
capable man, and their assistance in our
investigation would doubtless have
proved valuable hud we been able to
command it; but without proper orders
accompanied by honest and willing sug
gestions from thoir superiors, no aid of
this character was practicable.
"No such orders were given, although
at tho beginning of our session the co
operation of the executive officers of the
department was not only invited but
directly requested.
"Not only has this inactivity of the
force itself proved a source of difficulty,
but its attitude throughout has hindered
us far more. The impression was crea
ted and supported by convincing facts
that our labors in ferreting out and en
abling the prosecution of unfaithful
officers instead of being approved by the
department, was an attack upon it."
Tho presentment, in referring to Su
perintendent Byrnes, says:
"The enjoyment by tho executive head
of tho force of the considerable fortune
accumulated as a result of favors granted
In tho performance of official duty may
well have caused demoralization of the
forco under his command. The dis
tinction between such favors and direct
gratuities Is not one that his subordi
nates aro likoly to appreciate."
Tho jury further scores tho police for
Its hostility to the Investigation.
WITNESSES' BYES GOUGED OUT.
Soldiers Hindering tho Work of the
. Armenian Committee.
London, March 10.—A Moosh dispatch
Bubdatad from Knrs says:
" Tho difficulties placed in the way of
witnesses coining to testify before tho
commission of inquiry aro almost in
superable. Every road is patrolled by
bauds of gendarmes who put intend
ing witnesses out of the way. Persons
from villages In the flassoun district and
survivors of tho massacre are treated as
criminals. The Armenians who feed or
shelter them are imprisoned and beaten.
Tho testimony of several witnesses
pilos horror on horror. For instance a
witness hiding in tho Oakscrub saw
soldiers gouge out the eyes of two
priests who, in horrible agony, implored
their tormentors to kill them. But tho
Boldiers compelled them to dance whilst
screaming with pain and presently
bayoneted them. Tho number of wit
nesses is increasing. The stories are es
sentially identical.

LYNCHED BYHUSTLERS
Nebraska Cattle Thieves
Murder a Woman.
flho Wftfl fllnln In Her Own Home—
The Crime Supposed To Have Been
Committed To Prevent Her Testify
ing Against Tliem—No Arrests Have
Yet Been Made.
Butte, Neb., Murch 19.—Mrs. W. E.
Holton, living in Keynpaha county, near
Brocksburg, was lynched on Thursday
last and her body was discovered yester
day. The crimo is supposed to have been
committed by rustlers of tho anti-vigi
lanco committee, who suspected her of
giving testimony on which would load to
the-conviction of some cattle thieves.
Her body was found lying in a room
with a rope around her neck. She was
living alone at the time, her husband
having been sent to the insane asylum.
A neighbor discovered the deed tho
next morning when he passed by the
house. She was found lying on tho floor
surrounded by her scattered and torn
clothing und the clothing from her bed.
Tracks of many men's feet wore found
in tho yard and in the house.
No warrants have yet been issued. A
meeting of citizens was hold and it was
decided that prompt measures should be
taken. Several persons are under sus
picion.
Keyapaha county is noted for Its mur
derous vigilants. There is no doubt that
the crime was committed by horse and
cattle thieves who fear tho vigilant com
mittee and took revenge on Mrs. Holton
for giving information. A man named
Hunt, it is alleged, is implicated in some
way with tho murderers audit is thought
he can bo forced to confess.
A number of the alleged rustlers were
recently arrested and taken to Spring
view, where they broke jail and escaped
to the reservation. They were captured
thero and convicted.
A BLOODY PERIOD.
Details of the Recent Insurrection
in San Salvador.
San Francisco, March 19.—Tho steamer
Saturn from Panama brings details of
the recent Salvadorean insurrection. On
the first of January a conspiracy was dis
covered to proclaim General Antonio
president. As soon as the facts came to
light President Gutierez ordered the
principal leaders shot. Among them
were Colonels Dolflno Berrios und Fer
nando Salgodo and Captain Mangandi.
The chief of police was shot immedi
ately upon tho discovery of the plot, and
the whole city was thrown into u state
of great excitement, agents of reigning
governments arresting all those who
were thought to be concerned in the plot.
The conspiracy seems to have origi
nated in different departments of the re
public, Including employees of Guiterez,
who had turned traitor to him. All
prisoners who wero in jail since the last
uprising were ordered to be hanged, and
it is supposed by this time that the order
has been executed.
Tho loyal peoplo of San Salvador be
came infuriated upon the discovery of
tho conspiracy and Guiterez's followers
repaired to the office ot Colonel Angel
, Vasquez and lynched him without
parlay.
i General Ezeta, who is here, is much
i worried over his children. When ho
sent them away from Sun Francisco a
month ago they wero in charge of
Madame Garzia, his mother in law, who
was instructed to go to Acapulca and
wait for him under the protection of
President Diaz. It appears that she
went on to Salvador, where thoy are now,
und Ezeta fears they may be shot.
POPE'S DECREE SUSPENDED.
Katolll Sets Aside Temporarily tho
Dan Against Knights of Pythias.
Fall River, Mass., March 19.—At tho

Do Granpro and Dr. P. Ecollett of this
city, and Judge Chouquete of Provi
dence, Monsignor Satolli, the papal
ablegate has issued a decree temporarily
suspending tho edict of Pope Leo, relat
ing to Catholic membership In tho
Knights of Pythias. These gentlemen
returned from a visit to Washington,
whither they had I jen sent by Lafay
ette lodge of this city to ask a hearing
on the matter. They represented that
one lodge of Pythians in this oity con
sisted of 250 French Canadians and one
lodge in Providence included 160. Thoy
said so far as they were able to observe
they could see no conflict between
Pythianism and Catholic doctrines and
were very solicitous for a suspension of
tho edict so they might perform their
Enster duty.
His grace announced that he would
suspend tho edict temporarily and
would issue a formal decree to that
effect in a few days. Ho promised to
bring the matter to tho attention of tho
Vatican at tho earliest moment, but
would hold out no hope that his action
would bo endorsed as permanent policy
to be followed.

VENADITO DID SHOOT
Sent Two Solid Shots at a
Steamer.
Did Not Wish to Hit the Vessel, But
Merely To Cause Her To Heave To.
Oniclal Ileport of the Spanish Com
mander—The Allinnca Affair Com
plicated—Views in Washington.
Havana, March 19.—The commander
of the Spanish cruiser Conde do Vena
dito reports that on March 8, while
cruising oil the eastern coast of the
island, he sighted a steamer heading for
Maisi point. The steamer's course was
to the northeast. The cruiser hoisted a
flag and the steamer replied by raising
an English flag. The cruiser signalled
the steamer to stop, without effect.
As the steamer proceeded at full speed
the cruiser first fired two blank shots
and then two solid shots.- The comman
der says he did not desire to hit the
steamer, but merely to cause her to
heave to. He asserts that the steamer
was but one and half miles off the Cuban
coast when the firing occured. The
authorities here have ordered that a full
inquiry be maie into the commander's
acts.
Judging from Cupt. Grossman's story,
nobody can doubt that the steamer in
question was the Allinnca, which was
fired on by a Spanish cruiser on March 8.
Nothing has been heard here to con
firm the rumor that the gunboat Alsedo
has sunk an American schooner. The
rumor is regarded as utterly unfounded
in fact.
Views In Washington.
Washington, March 19.—The Spanish
minister was shown the dispatch from
Havana containing the report of tho
commander of the cruiser Conde do Ve
nadito and while the substance was of a
very gratifying nature to Minister Muru
gua he refused to talk on the subject.
The statement made by tho Spanish com
mander would, if true, entirely change
the phase of the affair. It is very much
doubted in naval circles that there can
be any foundation for the statement that
the Allianca hoisted the English ensign
and it is thought to be highly improba
ble that any steamer other than tho Al
lianca was fired on at that point on
March 8 and no report modo so far about
the affair.
Complicates Matters.
Tho report by the Spanish commander
must sottle tho doubt which has existed
in the minds of some of the Spanish au
thorities here as to tho truth of tho
statement made by Captain Gross
man that he had been fired on by a
Spanish cruiser, but the statement that
tho Allianca had raised the English flag
has complicated matters to such an ex
tent that no official opinions could bo ob
tained from either side.
A WANTON OUTRAGE!.
Ex-Secretary Whitney's Opinion of
the Allianca Incident.
New York, March 19.—The following
cablegram has been received by a morn
ing paper from William C. Whitney, ex
secretary of the navy, in reply to a mes
sage sent him by the editor of the paper
referred to:
Naples, March 18.—I reply to your dis
patch as follows: "In considering what
Bhould be done concerning tho outrago
perpetrated by the Spanish man-of-war
in firing on the Allianca one fact should
not be lost sight of. It was deliberate
and with full knowledge of the fact.
"It is certain that no person in com
mand of any war vessel in the world
would bo ignorant that firing upon a
merchant vessel of another power on tho
high seas in time of peace would violate
the law of nations. There isn't a subor
dinate officer of any man-of-war in the
world who hasn't been sufficiently in
structed to know that.
"It is, therefore, a caso of a wilfull in
sult to the American flag and people. I
do not recall so wanton an outrage as
happening to any first-class power in
fifty years. An apology scarcely wipes
out such an affront. The truth is wo
have happened to come in for a piece of
the general brutality and ruffianism that
holds Cuba. The thing is a relic of tho
middle ages. It is a disgrace to us that
lies at our door-step.
"It makes my blood boil for one.
"Of course they will apologize elabo
rately and discipline the officer. But
when we are looking toward him tho
general terrorism which holds Cuba
down while they suck her blood will
have been substantially increased at our
expense."
