So ENGINEER WHITE'S CASE. Record of Proceedings Brought by Lieut. Lauchheimer, Lieut. Lauchheimer of the Marine Corps has returned to Washington with the rec- ord of proceedings of the court-martial in the case of Civil Engineer U. S. G. White, who was tried on charges of neglect of duty in connection with the defective con- struction of the government dry dock at New York. Mr. White was an assistant to Civil Engineer Menocal in the supervision ef that work. Mr. Menocal has already been court-martlaled and punished for his share in the transaction. The result of the trial of Engineer White will not be made public until the case has been acted upon by the Secretary of the Navy.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 23, 1898. Lieut. James Smith was last night sus- pended from duty by Mayor Simpson for a period of fifteen days for neglect of duty. An investigation of the charges outlined in ‘The Star of yesterday was held at the sta- tion house last night at 8 o'clock. Long be- fore the hour appointed the court room wes crowded with citizens anxious to hear the testimcny, as it was rumored yesier- day afternoon that developments of a sen- sational nature would be made. Mayor Simpson took his seat at 8 o'clock, and in opening the case, said that Wednesday night last he decided to visit the officers on their beats and learn for himself the man- ner in which they discharged their respect- ive duties. He started out at about IL o'clock, he said, arriving at the station house at 11:20 o'clock, where he asked for the lieuter.cnt. Not finding him there, the mayor wa'ted until 1:15 o'clock, and the eutenant still failing to put in an appear- ance, he visited the officers on their beats He saw them all, and up to 2 o'clock none of them had seen the lieutenant that right. In concluding the opening of the case Mayer Simpson said that from his personal knowledge the Lieutenant was, prima facie, guilty of neglect of duty. The nemes of a number of witnesses were then called by the lieutenant to prove his whereabouts during the entire night. Messrs. B. B. Smith, Thos. W. Robinson, Geo. H. Robinson, Daniel Henry, Dr. Sam'l H. Lunt and a number of others testified to the fact that they had seen the lieu- tenant between the hours of 10 o'clock and 12 o'clock. A Mr. Watson was then called. He testi- fied that he met some one and spoke to him about 12:15 o'clock. He could not state positively, however, that that person was Lieutenant Smith. William Corbin, a col- ored man, stated that between 1 o'clock and 1:15 o'clock he was standing on the corner of Princess and Royal streets, talk- ing to a lady friend, when he saw the liew tenant on the opposite side of the street, going down Princess street. Edward Payne and Daniel Freeman, also coiored, testified that th: w Lieutenant Smith going down Princess street between 1 o'clock and 1:30 o'clock. Mr. James Fagan, who keeps a saloon in that vicinity, also testified to seeing the Heutenant at the hour stated by the colored men. Charles Smith, eldest son of the lieuten- ant, said he had seen and talked with his father at the corner of Princess and Fair- fax streets at 1:30 o'clock. This ended the eviGence ef the citizens summoned py Lieut. Smith. The members of the police force or. Guty that night were then called, at the request of the accused officer Officer Ferguson, who was en duty at the station house, testified that the lieutenan: returned to the staticn house about 1 o'clock, after posting the men. He then went out aad returned again a few minuies after 11 o'clock, and in a few minutes left again and did not return to the station un- til a few minutes before 2 o'clock. Officers Goods, Howson, s and Dean sta that they dij not see the lieutenant after they were put on duty until between 2:30 and 3 o'clock. Creates a Sensation. Officer Knight was the next witness call- ed. When asked by the lieutenant whether or nct he had seen him during the night the officer :eplied that he had. He was then asked where and at what hour. In reply to this question Officer Knight stated that he was standing on the corner of Pitt anc Cameron streets at 28 minutes of 2 o'clock, when he heard a door open, and in a few moments saw the lieutenant tip-toe out of a hoase on Cameron street and 50 in the direction of Royal street. Officer Knight stated that Mr. John Craven was standing on the corner with him, and that they had been standing there since 12:15 o'clock, and that during the time he went there and the time he saw the lieutenant ccme out of the house no one passed him, neither did any one enter the house in jestion. othe witness further stated that Monday night last he saw the lieutenant come out of the same house at twenty minutes past o'clock. The lieutenant, in an excited way, asked that the name of the person living in said house be given, but Mayor Simpson overruled this request, stating that {t made no difference what house it was or who lived there, as the offense was just the same. Omer Bettis was then called to the stand. He stated that he was on Royal street, just north of Cameron street, when he saw Lieut. Smith turn the Harlows corner and pass down Royal street, It was then 1:35 o'clock, Mr. John Craven was the next witness. He testified to the fact that he was stand- ing on the corner of Pitt and Cameron streets, talking to Officer Knight, w! he saw Lieut. Smith come out of a house or Cameron street. It was then twenty eight minutes to 2 o'clock. This ended the taking of the testimony. Lieut. Smith, in his own behalf, again asked that the witnesses be made to etate what house it was he was seen coming out of, and again the mayor overruled the request. ‘The Mayor’s Statement. is Mayor Simpson, in delivering sentence upon Lieutenant Smith, said he did not want it understood that there was any prejudice in the matter whatever. He also stated that since he had been mayor he had endeavored to fulfill the duties of the office faithfully, no matter what might happen. He spoke of having voted for Lieutenant Smith when he was first eleeted to the po- lice force. The mayor also stated that the lieutenant could, if he so desired, appeal from the decision to the board of police commissioners. At first the Neutenant said he would most assuredly appeal, but after a few minutes’ thought he decided not to do so. The decision of Mayor Simpson has met with the hearty approval of all law-abiding citizens, although many regret that this faie should befall the Meutenant, who has been a member of the police force for a number of years. It is conceded that he brought on the trouble himself. Mayor Simpson this morning directed that Sergeant James T. Smith be made acting Meutenant and Officer Frank Bettis be act- ing sergeant during the suspension of Lieu- tenant Smith. ‘Was Not His Brother. A telegram was received here yesterday afternoon from William A. McGlone of Pottsville, Pa., stating that the dead man whose body was found near Waterloo sev- eral days ago was not his brother, Mr. McGlone’s brother having arrived at home safely. As was stated in yesterday's Star, a telegram was sent here asking for in- formation concerning the dead man. Absent Without Leave, Capt. R. H. Atkinson was in town yester- day on the lookout for R. M. Chesire, who left Camp Alger the 18th instant and since that time has not been heard from. Capt. Atkinson also left word at the police head- quarters to arrest Chesire on sight. It is said Chesire abandoned his uniform and was wearing civilian’s clothes when last seen. Chesire is a member of Corapany F, $d Regiment Virginia Volunteers, Mayor's Court. Mayor George L. Simpson this morning disposed of the following cases: Chas. Boon, charged with being drunk and disor- derly, fined $2.50; Robert Haven, charged with disorderly conduct and abusive lan- guage, fined $2.50. The Accuser Fined. Charles Boon, colored, yesterday after- noon accused three colored men of robbing end assaulting him at the wharf. The men was arrested, but later dismissed, and in Mrs, Thos. Downey 1s quite ill at her | home, in the southwestern part of the city, from a stroke of paralysis, she recently re- ceived. * The betrothal of Miss Minnie Bendheim of this city and Mr. -M:' B. Shrier of Greensboro’ was announeed at the home of the young lady's parents last evening. A large number of guests were present. The infant child of . and Mrs. R. E. Norris died at the family “home, on Upper Prince street, yesterday> evening. The July term of the corporation court will begin on Monday next. The funeral! of the infant child of. Mr. and Mrs.. W. Crockett will take piace to- day. —>—_—_ THE WEEK. ENDING JULY 23, 1895. The ‘War With Spnin. The military expedition against Porto Rico was started, after some delay, Gen- eral Miles, commanding, leaving from San- tiago on the Yale with a body of troops under a strong naval convoy, while other treops were dispatched from Tampa: and Charleston. President McKinley proclaim- ed the terms of the measures to be adopted for the temporary government of Santiago by the Americans, ordering that the Span- ish civil officials be retained in their posi- tions pending a permanent governmental organization; General Leonard Wood was named military gavernor; reports were re- ceived of friction between General Garcia and the Ameri¢an commander, Garcia hav- ing withdrawn with his forces to the hills, after writing a letter to General Shafter reproaching him for his failure to- notify Garcia of the terms of Santiago's surren- der and other alleged affronts, likewise declaring his intention to resign his com- mand in the Cuban army; later reports stated that Garcia had attacked a consid- erable body of Spanish soldiers on their way to Santiago to surrender, and that after a sharp engagement the Cubans had been defeated; Washington officials were much concerned in the reports of trouble between the Cubans and Americans. Ad- miral Sampson reported that a naval ex- edition against Nipe;~on the northern coast of Cuba, opposite Santiago, had been entirely successful, the Spanish cruiser Jorge Juan being destroyed and the har~ bor secured as an American base. Reports were received of naval operations at Man- zanillo indicative of a’ complete victory there for the American forces, several Spanish gunboats and transports being de- stroyed. Admiral Dewey reported the ar- rival of the second detachment of rein- forcements at Manila; the troops were dis- embarked within two miles of Manila and an engagement. was shortly expected; Aguinaldo proclaimed a dictatorship and issued a proclamation specifying the in- signia to be worn by himself and members of his government; the German cruiser Irene ignored the first orders of an Amer- ican commander to heave to as she passed into Manila bay and a shot was finally sent across her bows; Admiral Dewey claimed that foreign warships must submit at all times to the regulations governing the blockaded harbor, while Admiral Died- erichs, commanding the German squadron, demurred to this claim; no further trouble ensued; it was understood that the Ger- mun ambassador at Washington satisfied the State Department that.Germny had no ulterior designs upon the Philippines or any intention to thwart the American pur- oses there; nevertheless the continental press continued to echo gentiments ad- verse to this proposition, insisting that the powers would not permit an American oc- cupation or an Anglé-American protecto- rate over the islands. Lieutenant R. P. Hobson, the naval constructor who gained renown by his daring act in sinking the collier Merrimac in Santiago harbor, re- turned to the United States and reported to the Secretary of the Navy as to the condition of the sunken Spanish ships, After opening bids the government awarded to the Spanish Transatlantic Steamship Company the contract for transporting the surren- dered Spanish prisoners from Santiago to Spain, the company to carry the men un- der their cwn flag, with an, American naval convoy. Preparations for dispatching Com- modore Watson's squadron to Spanish wa- ters for an offensive stroke were pressed, though it was reported that the start would not be made until after the investment of Porto Rico had begun. Repeated rumors of peace negotiations were heard, but they seemed to be without foundation. It was reported from Madrid that the Spanish gov- eriment proposed to court-martial General Toral because of the fact and terms of his surrender to Shafter: Captain General Blanco tssued a characteristic proclama- tion noting the surrender of Santiago and declaring that the Spanish army would be eventually victorious. Foreign Affairs, The Swiss federal council entered a pro- test against the advantages given by the United States to Franc: by the reciprocity treaty, asking for the same advantages for Swiss goods. The revolt in China con- tinued, growing to alarming proportions; nicts occurred at Shanghai, and French pclice and marines killed and wounded many natives. Emile Zola and M. Perre- not, publisher, were convicted on their sec- ond trial for libel, and sentenced to pay a heavy fine and suffer a year’s imprison- ment each; M. Zola fled to Switzerland to evade punishment. President Alfaro of Ecuador proclaimed general amnesty to his political enemies. The Prince of Wales fractured his left knee cap: Among those who died were Mrs. W. W. Rockhill, wife of the American minister to Greece, at Athens, and Admiral Thomas Leeke Mas- sie, known as the father of the British navy. In the District. The telephone company filed its answer to the sult brought by subscribers to test th2 validity of the new rates prescribed by the current appropriation law. The Brightwood Railroad Company filed a suit to compel the Metropolitan company to enter into reciprocal trackage arrang:ments that would give the Brightwood company access to the Pennsylvania railroad station. The Commissioners started to select a force of special policemen to be stationed at the various street railway crossings in the city, as provided for by the law affecting the Belt railway, recently enacted, th2 cost of the service to be borne by the companies involved. The brokerage and banking firm of Corson & Macartney made an assign- nent. Major Richard Sylvester, the newly appointed superintendent of police, took charge of his office. The police detectives were gladdened early fn the w2ek by a dispatch from Collinsville, Ill, stating that the mayor of that place had captured Frank Funk, wented for the murder of William Brooks; the grand jury immediate- ly returned an indtetment, and representa- tives of the legal and police departments of the District were sent to Collinsville, only to find that the mayor had been mis- taken and the prison2r was not the miss- ing eriminal. John Eagle, an employe of the Southern railway, died as a result of @ blow on the head alleged to have been inflicted by Samual Batt;,the latter was held for the grand jury.

ADDS TO BICYCLE SQUAD Report by Major Sylvester Upon the Utility of Wheelmen. Recommendation That Sufficient Number of Machines Be Bought for Equipment in Each Precinet. Maj. Sylvester, superintendent of the District police force, after a thorough can- vass of the proposition to increase the number of bicycles in use in the police service, today reported to Commissioner Wight that, in order to proverly equip a sufficient number of men for this duty, it will be necessary to purchase eighteen ma- chines, provided th: may be had at a figure in keeping with the times. The assignment of privates mounted on wheels will be, thus early in the experiment, two men to a precinct, they alternating in the performance of the duty and being car- ried on the morning reports as are other members of the forze. Maj. Sy'vester thinks this will in no wise interfere with the present -system in the precincts, be- yond expediting police business at time: when it is necessary to rusa, bu: will & just as thorough patrol of the streets, avenues and alleys as n be made by footmen, excert tnat ss time will be de- yoted in detail to locations. Suggestion as to Assignments. It is deemed advisable by Maj. Sylvester that the men fo be given this work should do duty in the precincts to which they are attached, making retarns during their rounds through such patrol boxes us the Neutenant in command may designate. Working in this wise, waen it becomes im- possible to use the bicyeles on the streets, the detail may readily return to toot duty As to uniforms, Maj. Sylvester recom: mends a cay with military mm und blue blouse and pants.

The lisutenants are stated to be In hearty accord with this movement, which will, it is expected, result in better police protec- tion to the citizens of the District. Wheels of Great Utility. In the outlying precincts some members of the force own their own wheels at the present time, and the commanding officers find them of great value and use in the transaction. of the many details required of them. There are now four privates de- tailed as a bicycle squad. These men, and others who may possibly be given the work, own their own wheels. Major Sylvester believes it but fair and just that they should be compensated at a just price for their wheels, which, he suggests, should hereafter be owned by the District, the prices to be paid to be equivalent to cur- rent prices for second-hand wheels, taking into consideration thelr make, length of service and condition. This will reduce the number of wheels to be purchased to prob- ably six. Major Sylvester's suggestion will be ap- proved by the Commissioners, and the de- tall of the additional men for bicycle duty will shortly be announced. This detail, all told, will consist of eighteen men, two to each of the nine precincts. THREATENING. Showers Indicated for Tonight and Cloady Weather Tomorrow.
