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. FAIR WILL MATTER. A Newly Discovered Document Favoring Young Fair. flan Fr&aoisco, March 19.—When tho Fair will matter came up before Judge Slack, llouben 11. Lloyd, of counsel for the children, presented a holographic will of the dead ex-senator dated three days later than tho one originally filed for probata and which has been stolen.

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.

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.

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.

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." License Vote In Massachusetts. Springfield, March 19.
