Mansfield was the only witness exam:ned, and gave & grap ic description of the fight with the murderer on the night of October 26. He testified as follows: McEvoy told me that Flannelly was in the house, and we sturted around 1o the kitchen door.

Considered Taeir Risk Too Great Because of a Rickety Strongbox. Special Dispatch o THE CALL. HANFORD, Nov. 10.—Kings County officers are still having trouble notwith- standing the fact that excitement occa- sioned by the Grand Jury report has some- what subsided. It comes from a different quarter now. To-day thirteen of the fourtern bondemen of County Tax Co!- lector or Treasurer W. H. Slavin filed a notice with Judge Jacobs asking to be re- lieved of liabilitiea on the collection bond. The reacon assigned is that under the laws of the 8tate of California all moneys collected by the Tax Collector must be held by him and depostied in a vault in his office in the courthouse of this county, and bondsmen deem the vault unsafe and insecure for the large amount of money that will accumulate from the collection of taxes. All of the moneys so collecteu must remain in the vault and may not be deposited in any bank or banks for safe keeping. Slavin's bondsmen were: 8. E. Biddle, $20,000; T. V. Biadle, $2000; J. Mc- Junkin, $10,000; W. J. Newport, $6000; J. B. Newport, $6000; A. E. Croweli; $1000; Eben Sanborn, $4000; D. M. Tuorne, $2000; H. D. Dougias-, $2000; 8. B. Hick $10,000; C. Rai:sback, $10,000; 0. Hick- mao, $1000; Moritz Simon, $2500; J. H. Dopkins, §6000; A. V. Taylor, $3000. When the law went into elfect requiring the county to take care of its own money there was some (aik of the b smen on Slavin’s bond withdrawin - because of the apparent lack of safety in nis «flice as then situatea, but arrangements were made with the bank and the talked-o! withdrawal did not take place. Slavin was legally notitied this morning of the withdrawal of his tondsmen. He did not seem 10 be perturbed, but ex- pressed confidence in being able to give a new bond within a day or two. The bondsmen make no reflection on the hon- esty and integrity ot Slavin, but all ac- knowledge his worth as un oflicer and a citizen. e o End of a Long Life.

CaLn OrFicE, Rices House ) | WasHixgroy, D. C., Nov. 10. § | The contention which has existed for upward of twenty-five years between the | line and staff of the navy is now in a fair way of being adjusted. Secretary Long, when he was in Congress, had occasion to look into the naval personnel in question and became convinced that the trouble ought to be amicably settied. Therefore, | when he took possession of the Navy De- partment his attention was called 10 this question and he appoiuted a special board to attend to it composed of seven line offi- cers of long experience, with Assistant Secretary Roosevels as president. It was the general belief in naval circles that from the fact that there was an over- | whelming majority of line officers who composed the board, it would be fatal on the part of the engineers to try to secure the actual rank, which has been the main qnestian involved between the two branches of the service. The members of the board are officers of the highest standing in the line and staff: Captain W. T.'Sampson, captain of the | battle-ship Iowa; CaptainA. S. Crownin- shield, chiet of the Bureau of Navigation; Captain Robley D. Kvans of the Light- house Boar!; Captain Alexander H. Mc- Cormick, ordnance expert; Commander Joseph N. Hemphill, Lieutenant-Com- | mander Rictiard Wainwright and Lieu- tenant Albert L. Key, representing the line, and Engineer-in-Chief George W. Melville, Chief Engineer Charles W. Rae, Chief Engineer George H. Kearney and | Passed Assistant Chief Eugineer Walter McFarlanc, representing the staff. The basis of the board’s work, which has been agreed to and which it is ex- | vected will solve the existine difficulties, | is a bill drawn by Professor Hollis, It has been revised and ameaded by Lieutenant- | Commander Wainwright and Lieutenant Sharp, and is regarded as botn fair to line | and staff. Itis a mensure tor-move the | cause of friction in the personnel of the navy and io promote its efficiency on | board ship and on shore.

For tnirty years she had led the life or a recluse «nd durine that time had spoken to no one nor been seen by any one but her husband.

INSIDE HISTORY OF NICARAGUA'S PLOT How She Sought to Evade Her Trealy Obligations to This Country. Overtures to the Japinese Minister at Washington That Were Rejected. &pecial Dispatch to THECALL. Cavry Orrice, Ricas Hows}:‘} W ASHINGTON, Nov. 10. Semi-official advices have been received at the State Department confirming the | exclusive publication in THE CALL sev- eral weeks ago of a story to the eftect that the so-called “Greater Revublic of Central America’’ was conspiring to im- pair or absolutely nullify the Nicaragua Canal concession granted to the United States, in the treaty with Nicaragua, by granting a concession to Japan on the ground that Nicaragua had absolved her individual responsibility as a mation by becoming a member of the Greater Re- | public, and therefore the treaty with the United Statcs was of no effect, and that he Greater Republic was free to enter into an azreement with Japan.

By this change of affairs both engineer and line officers of certain grades will be competent to perform duties not now expected of boih. All the details ot ihe new measure have not yet been formulated, but what re- mains i3 unimportant, compaired to the provisions whick have been approved. As Secretary Long is understood to bave ap- proved the proposed plar, it is expected that Congress will adopt it at the coming session. There are a number of bills before the House Naval Committee reiating to the personnel controversy between the line and tbe stuff, none of which, however, has heretofore been able to secure a committee. But now that the leadingl officers of both the line and staff have | unanimously agreed upon a measure look- | ing to the adjustment of differences which | have existed for many years the probabili- | ties are that the bill will be reported and | passed with little or no delay and thus settle forever a biiter controversy which has existed tor a quarter of a century.

J, «Nov. 10.—The Princeton collegians were greaily disap- This matter is significant as showing the treacherous attitude of the alleged Greater Republic toward this Government. The Diet has been resentful ever since Presi- dent Cleveland, in receiving Minister Roderiguez, stated that he was *‘welcomed as the representative of the ‘three repub- lics of Central America, namely, Nicara- gua, Salvador and Honduras,’ "’ All reference to the Greater Republic was studiously avoided by Mr. Cleveland, for it was suspected that Nicaragua might try to absolve herself from the treaty by claiming that Nicaragua. as an individual nation, was no more, but that she was only a member of the Greater Republic. For the same reasox the Foreign Affairs Committee of both houses of Congress did not recognize any such nation as the GreaterRepubiic in iplomatic and con- sular appropriation bill. This is the rea- son, too, why Captain Merry was not re- ceived. The State Department, when the protest ageinst his acceptance was_ received, de- cided to send him to Ccsta Rica and this scemed to make the Greatec Republic a little more complaisant, but latterly they have tried 1o force the Siate Department to recognize the Greater Repuulic as a nation, this being ths price of Captain Merry’s reception, but 1t will not work. Rather than make this concession ihe de- partment will probubly send Captain Merry to Costa Rica and Dr. Hunter to Guatemala, neither of which 1s a member of the Greater Republic. And it is prol- able furthermore, 1hat Rodriguez will soon find himself persona non grata to the United States.
