who is trying to secure his release on a
writ of habeas corpus, may depend the
liberty of every convict scut to Juliet
from Cook county since ISUn. Dreyer's
attorney claims that the mittimus in
their client's cause, which provided he
should bo confined until released by
the state hoard of pardons, was in error
in that the parole law of 1HU5 provided
that the state hoard nf pardons had nu
authority to release, but ouly to recom
mend such action to the governor, and
constituted an error sufficient to vvur
rant bin release. Dreyer's attorney
also raised the technical poiut that
Drover bail been twice placed in jeop
ardy by the dismissal of the jury in a
former tiiul before a decision had boon
reached. When Attorney Mayor fin
ished his argument today, Judge
Dunne asked the state's attorney if the
tnittimi wero printed forms. Upon re
ceiving the reply that all prisoners
were sent to Juliet U'Kin this form of
mittimus, the court rejoined: "If Mr.
Mayer's contention is true there will
not ho many man from Oook county
loft in Joliot." The state will argue
against the point tomorrow.

London, April l.-The Standard s
eorreapoDdent at Klmberley. writing of
hardships of the siege, says:
For many days the novelty ol eat
ma horseflesh formed n agreeable
break In the war talk. Starving pso
pie, however, take kindly to any arti
cle of food. Personally, althoogh 1
have alwsys found a piece of succulent
horseflesh excellent eating. I am not
taking any of It In Klmberley. Not
Mb are the wretched animals reduced
to skin and bone, but there Is a prevail
ing epidemic of influenza and cough
among them, which forces metoaband
on it u-e. It is, however, dally served
out to the soldiers as well as the peo
ple, though there are cases of anthrax
in the hospitals and an outbreak ol
trurvy in manv of the redoubts. There
also has broken out a peculiar form ol
throat trouble, which may owe its
origin to this article of food. At tf:30
M. all conversation ceases, and rum
ors ship, for. by proclamation, all
lights ezcept electric or acetylene gat
must !e extinguished.
"There are many cane of extreme
suffering, which, although doe to the
siege, have reached a climax from con
atitutioual circumstances. There are
ladle in Kimlierley tonight strapped
to their lads aud wearing atrsightjack
ets, mad from sheer nervousness aud
fright.
"It is the red tape which makes the
strain heavier than it otherwise would
be. After we had lieeu for weeks shut
up in Kimlierley not at the beat the
moat cheerful place in the universe
our hearts became specifically fixed on
our portion of the British army the
relief column. Hy accident, we teamed
that it had reached Modder river, after
a sharp engagement at Belmont.
Kageily we awaited news from Lord
Methuen. Men and women scanued
the horizon nights to seek the first flash
from his searchlight. All night long
our three searchlights sent their loug
streams of fiery light past the rugged
fastness of Scholtzes' Nek, and the
Ironies of Snvfontein to the two
rivers, on whose bauks our preservers
were encamped. 'Md, Md, Md.' they
called out. but no answer came. Onlv
the big star could be seen, and the
Southern Cross seemed to whisper,
'Patience'. At last, one night, far
from the south, came the welcome
flash, 'Kb, Kb, Kb,' it said. High up
in the conning tower sat Lieutenant
Colonel Kekewich and his staff officers
with picked men from the signal corps.
Anxiously they deciphered the first
message from their honored chief. It
was this: 'Ascertain number on fore
foot of mule omitted in Cape Town
return." "
TREATMENT OF A GOVERNOR

New Orleans, April I, Carlo Lo
cavii. former governor of Bluetields,
arrived here last night after an excit
ing experinoce in Uusta Kica. He left
Nicaiagua a few weeks ago, with Minet
C. Keith, being deputized by President
Zelaya to place some railroad bonds
with New York capitalists. In view
of the strained relations between the
two countries, he was arrested, his
money taken from him, and finally ex
iled and placed aboard the ship for
New Orleans. He will return to Nica
ragua. The incident is likely to create
further complication.
Locayo was arrested in San Jose, he
claims, by the order of tho president of
Costa Kica. About 8,000 was taken
from hi- person. He was escorted to
Port Lima aud placed aboard the 11 is
liana, to which his money wa also
turned over. It is presumed that Costa
Kica feared that ho came there to for
meut trouble.
Weldon Roberta, Melville Moxley
and Joseph Stringham, members of the
Nicaragua survey party, were also
aboard the ship. They were forced to
abaudnn their Biirvey 175 miles south
of Colon by the attacks of tho Su
sardi Iudiuns.
AMERICANS BOUGHT WRECK,
-i.a,,i. i, Warahlp Will He Broken I'p
for the Metal In It.
New York, April 2. (iaston Drake,
of Nassau, Bahama islands, with othor
Americans, now owns the wreck of the
Spauish warship Infanta Maria Teresa,
lying in two fathoms of water near
Bird l'oint, Cat Island. Drake and his
associates purpuso to break up the
wreck for the metal in it.
Mr. Drake and his associates want
to bring the metal into this country
duty free. Mr. Drake's lawyers asked
the treasury department if this could
be done. In reply, counsel for the
treasury department wrote:
"The Spanish war vessel was not the
property of the United States at the
time she was originally wrecked, but
was the property of the Sjianish gov
ernment, and as the United States gov
ernment has abandoned tbe vessel on
Cat island, ita ownership changed
form the United States to private citi
zens. Therefore tho wrecked mater
ial, upon its importation into the Uni
ted States, would be dutiable."
Mr. Drake aud his partners believe
there would be profit in the importa
tion of the old metal from the wreck
il admitted free of duty, but not otherwise.
