COUNSEL MACKEY’S CHARGES AGAINST SECRE- TARY LINCOLN. When the Hazen court-martial adjourned Jast evening it took under consideration an ob- Jection raised by the judge advocate to receiv- }ing testimony from Mr. Edmund Hudson, edi- tor of the Capital, respecting a paragraph pub- lished in the Cupital of the 1st instant, in refer- ence to a report that Gen. Hazen had written a letter to the Secretary of War throwing the blame of the disaster to the Greely expedition upon the shoulders of the Secretary. The judge advocate objected to the introduction of news paper statements as irrelevent. Mr. Mackey, counsel for Gen. Hazen, declared his purpose of tracing the article to the hand of the Secretary of War, and said they would show that the Secretary of War sat at and coined libel like a mint, and th splred this paragraph as well us the dispatch to the Chicago Tribune which led the EVENIN STAR reporter to question Gen, Hazen. te denied with emphasis of War had inspired these publications, and’ Mr. Mackey reiterated with equal emphasis that the Secretary of War had done so, ONE HOUR SPENT TO-DAY IN READING THE RECORD. When the court met this morning, the space allowed to spectatora was densely crowded. Among those present during the morning #wes Lieut. Greely, who was given a seat near the table occupied by Gen, Hazen’s counsel, Gen. Schofield suggested that, as he under- stood, the defense had been furnished with a copy of the record, the reading of the record might be dispensed with. Mr. Mackey said the counsel had received an alleged copy of the record, but he would not consent to dispensing with the reading, as he aid not know whether his copy was correct. The reading of the record occupied over one hour, THE CAPITAL PARAGRAPH NOT ADMITTED. Upon the conclusion of the reading of the Tecord the Judge advocate announced that the court sustained the objection of the Judge advo- cate to the admission of the Capital paragraph into testimony. THE PROSECUTION CLOSED. + The Judge advocate announced that the prose- cution was closed. : Mr. Mackey said that under the rnling of the court he did not desire Mr. Hudson’s presence at that time, but may require it later. He said he would like to submit to Mr. Kauffmann the Chicago Tribune paragraph which had been mentioned in bis testimony, and ask him some questions, ‘The court directed that Mr. Kauffmann be re- summoned for the defense. TESTIMONY FOR DEFENSE. Mr. Mackey then offered in testimony the contents of four pages of the Secretary of War's report for 1854, relating to the arctic work and gontaining the strictures upon Gen. Hazen, The court decided to admit the testimony. Mr. Mackey aiso submitted the twelve enclos- ures accompanying Gen. Hazen’s letter to the Secretary of War of February 17, 1885. The court, after a consultation in secret ses- sion, decidéd\to admit the enclosures, to be filed with the papers in the case. These en- closures were letters from Chief Engineer Mel- ville, Lieut. Greely, Sergeant Brainard and. N. Malloy, U. 8. consul at St. John’s, N, statements by Capt. Richard Pike, Thom: White, Hon John Sime, Sumuel Walsh and Wm. Colsom, of St. John’ F., and Peter Me- Pherson, late chief engineer of the steamer Proteus, and a tabulated statement showing the temperature at Upernavik, Greenland, in the winter of 1883-4. Mr. Mackey also introduced three pages of the annual report of the chief signal officer for 1884, containing the statements which formed the basis of the strictures in the Secretary of ‘War's report. INHARMONIOUS COUNSEL. Several times during the progress of the trial there has been evidence of a disagreement be- tween Gen. Hazen’s counsel. Day before yes- terday, when Mr. Dumont, rose to ask a ques ton of’ witness who had been under cross-ex- amination by Mr. Mackey, there was a wark discussion at the counsel table. Mr. Mackey sai “Itis unprofeesional, sir, unprofessional, sir. It is supposed that he was objecting to Mr. Da- mont’s taking part in the cross-examination, Subsequently Gen. Hazen took a seat between his counsel and has occupied that place ever since, presumably for the purpose of maintain- ing peace, ————+e+_____ . Oklahoma Raiders Warned. THE PRESIDENT’S POLICY THE SAME AS THAT OF THE LAST ADMININTRATION—HIS PROCLA- MATION, The President has issued a proclamation to prevent intrusion upon the Oklahoma country, a8 predicted in yesterday's Star. The procla- mation sets out that, as it {s alleged that certain persons are now in unauthorized possession of portions of the Oklahoma lands, and that others have set on foot preparations for and or- ganized and forcible entry and settlement upon those lands, “therefore, for the purpose of pro- tecting the public interests, as wellas the in- terests of the Indian nations and tribes, and to the end that ne person or persons may be in- duc7d to enter upon said territory, where they will not beallowed to remain without permis- sion of the authority aforesaid, I, Grover Cleve- land, President of the United States, do hereby warn and admonish all and every’ person or persons now in the oceupation of such lands, and all such person or persons as are intending, preparing, or threatening to enier and settle upon the same, that they will neither be per mitted to enter upon said territory nor, if al- ready there, to remain thereon, and that in casg @ due regard forand voluntary obedience to the laws and treaties of the United States are not had, and if this admonition and _warn- ing be not sufficient to effect the purposes and intention of the government as herein de- clared, the military power of the United States will be invoked to abate all such unauthorized possession, to prevent such threatened entry and occupation, and to remove all such in- truders from tnesaid Indian land.” Itis evidently the policy of the present ad- ministration to pursue the course in regard to this disputed country adopted by the last ad. ministration. Whatever may be the individ- ual opinion of cabinet officers as to the justice of opening up the country for settlement, no action will be taken in that direction without specific legislation by Congress, laying down in unequivocal terms Just how and when the country shall be settled, In case it is decided to open it to settlement. If this is done eventually it is understood that arrangements will be made setting apart stripsof land tothe north ana south of the Oklahoma tract, so that it can be entered from both Kansas and Texas without intruding upon the Indian reservations, THE INVASION POSTPONED TO THE 16TH INST. THE NAVAL VOUCHER FRAUDS. The Cases of Carrigan and Kirkwood. PROCEEDINGS IN THE CRIMINAL COURT TO-DAY. In the Criminal Court, Judge MacArthur, this morning, in the cases of Daniel Carrigan and Edwin C. Kirkwood, indicted on several charges of making ana presenting false youchers of the bureau of medicine and surgery, the general de- murrers filed by Mr. A.B. Williams were, in in the case of Kirkwood, overruled and the cases now stand for pleading. In the case of Carrigan the demurrers were withdrawn and motions to quash filed and argued. The points made by Mr, Moulton ‘are that the indictments ‘aire not signed on behalf of the United States, und that the signature is that of an individual and not that of an officer known to the laws. He claimed that the term “attorney of the United States” does not bind the United States und the signature asit stands only binds him as an individual, ‘The court overruled the motion and an excep- tion was noted. Mr. Sioulton then filed pleas in abatement, and the government demurred to them. The demurrers were sustained and exceptions noted. Mr. Moulton filed gencral demurrers to the indictinents, and, issue being joined, they were overruled and exceptions noted. The district attorney said that be would ask that the parties plead next Saturday and the cases be set for trial the following week. —————_+e+_ SOCIETY.
