A, Rafferty | C | w. HE army transport Logan, which arrived yesterday from Manila, encountered some very heavy weather on her voyage ACross the Pacific and reached port two days late. She left Manila just a month ago and was twenty-one days coming from Nagasaki. She encountered a heavy southeaster on October € and until Octo- ber 10 had to fight her way in the teeth of the storm. There was no sickness on board during the voyage and the trooper's detention in quarantine was brief. She brought 187 enlisted men to be dis- charged; 153 enlisted men on furlough; 37 members of the hospital corps, 122 sick, 7 insane, 55 discharged men and more than a hundred cabin passengers. Brigadier General Fred D. Grant was the ranking officer on the transport and returns after three years' service in the Philippines. Captain B. Rockwell, who joined the Logan at Nagasaki, is a broth- er-in-law of General Chaffee. Captain J. P. Stevenson, late commander of the transport Lawton, was a passenger on the Logan. He was accompanied by his wife and baby. The Logan brought home about fifty soldier dead, including the remains of Colonel W. A. Rafferty, late of the Fifth Cavalry. Colonel Rafferty died at San Felipe on September 13 as the result of injusies received on September 6. He started downstairs in the dark, missed his footing and fell fourteen feet. He sustained serious internal injuries and failed to rally from the shock. Colonel Rafferty left here with his regiment in March, 1801, and rendered distinguished ervice in the Philippmes. He was 60 years of age and a native of Georgetown, D. C. He was a graduate of Princeton and West Point, was a man of scholarly attainments and leaves behind him a bril- liant military record. He was a brother who is in of Major Ogden Rafferty, charge of the medical branch of the transport service at this port. Colonel Rafferty's body was brought home in charge of Major E. P. Andrews, who will accompany the remains to Arl- ington Cemetery, where they will be in- terred. The Logan’s cabin passengers were: Brigadier General Fred D. Grant, Colonel Edward £, Godfrey, Ninth Cavalry; Mrs. God- frey, Major Jos:ph Garrard, Captain L. W. Cornish and wife and four children, Captain Henry B. Dixon, Lieutenants E. H.

The overdue list, which was cleared by the arrival a few days ago of the British ship Dit- ton, is now larger than ever. Seven vessels were marked up yesterday morning. One of them, the steamship Fuerst Bismarck, was on the board only’ two hours when word was re- ceived of her arrival at New York. She was out eleven davs from Southampton for New York and went on the board at 15 per cent. Although on the board but two hours, specu- lators played her quite heavily. The othe vessels on the list are the British ships Clydes- dale, 10 per cent; Brenda, 10 per cent; and In- verclyde, 10 per cent: French bark Dieddalle, 10 per cent; British ship Glenmark, 15 per cent, and the Italian bark Beech Holm, 15 per cent. —_—— Anxiety for the Seward. The army transpert officials are anxious ebout the refrigerator steamship Seward, which left Seattle for Manila fifty-nine days ago. She had not reached her destination when the Lo- gan sailed and when the latter reached Naga- saki Captain Stinson received instructions to keep a lookout for the cold storage boat, which was then out thirty-eight days from Seatti. The Logan saw nothing of her, and the quar- termaster's department here has no record of her subsequent arrival. The Seward was built at Seattle and during a short carcer has gained a bad reputation. Wt TR A Could Not Land Cargo. The schooner Monterey, which left here yas- terday with freight for the Farallones, turned to port, having been unable to land her cargo on account of th: weather. Prentiss Breaks Down. The steam schooner Prentiss, which came in on Sunday from San Pedro for coal, broke down yesterday when starting for Shelter Cove. She came to an anchor off Black Point and will be delayed several days. Venture a Total Loss.

Quotes Law As to Relations Between the Army and the Civilian. s g The court-martial investigating the charges of negligence preferred against Lieutenant Colonel Huston of the Nife- teenth Infantry in not taking means to suppress the riot outside the Presidio gates on the night of September 14 was | resumed at army headquarters yesterday. The case for the prosecution having closed on Saturday, Captain Mckntyre in speaking for Lieutenant Colonel Huston said: The accused has admitted the facts of the case and in consequence does not think it nec- essary to go on the stand. A On learning of the' disturbance near the res- ervation he had no reason to know, or to be- lieve, that any one of the commanding officers on the reservation, of which he was not one, was not, or would not, soon become cognizant Iikewise of the fact. He took what he judged to be the proper means to prevent the spread- ing of the disturbance to the reservation and prevent the use of the reservation as a place of refuge of violators of the peace of the city. He did not deem it within his province to interfere with the civil authorities. While he ordered Lieutenant Feeter, the officer of the day, to d the gate of the reservation and to post his guard to prevent soldiers leaving the reservition, the lieutenant was not to leave the reservation itself nor to permit his guard to do so. Further than this he did not inter- fere with Lieutenant Feeter's routine orders. In executing his orders, Lieutenant Feeter excit- ed the criticism of several young officers who hava testified in this case. The accused has assumed responsibility for Lieutenant Fee- ter’s actlons. . NO LIVES ENDANGERED. At no time duricg the disturbance was there any unusual excitement within the camp of the Nineteenth Infantry, nor was there any occasfon to believe that the disturbance was not outside the reservation. No lives were en- dangered and there was no disorder of a na- ture to justify the use of armed soldiers, en- dangering thereby valuable lives, even had ac- cused not felt that the disturbance was wholly out of his juriediction. He was aware that the use of troops would render himselt and such | otficers as acted under his orders liable crim- | inally and civilly for any action that might prejudice any citizen. The accused did not feel justified in taking this responsibility, with the possible destruction of human life. Accus- €d denjed knowledge of any disturbance, it there was one, within the reservation. Mclntyre read paragraph 488, page 138, Digest of Opinions of the judge advocate general of the army, 1901, in support of Huston's. position. In all cases of civil disorder or domestic vio- lence it is the duty of the army to preserve an attitude of indifference and inaction until or- dered to act by the President. Any combined effort by the military, as such, to make arrests | or otherwise prevent breaches of the peace or | violations of the law In civil cases, except by the order of the President, must necessarily be illegal. In the absence of the requisite orders he may not even march or array his command | for the purpose of exerting a moral effect or an effect in terrorem. Such a demonstration could only compromise the authority of the United States, while insulting the sovereignty of the State. Major Hull, in reply, contended that the soldlers were liable to discipline not on account of the place they were in at the time of the rioting, but on account of their oath of enlistment. He submitted ! that Lieutenant Colonel Huston's duty was tp stop the riot, and that the lieu- tenant colonel had personal knowledge of the disturbance. The soldiers committed the offense on land that belonged to the United Statés as much as did the land of_the reservation. The major recited what he called a PROVES FICKLE For Second T.ms Within a Year His Wife Goets Divorce. Judge Graham Awards Her Custody of Child and Alimony. For tHe second time within a year Liz- zle Lean, wife of Al Lean, secured a divorce. On the first occasion, last April, she was granted a divorce on the ground of cruelty. Within a month after their separation they remarried, and two months after the second marriage Mrs. Lean filed the second suit, ‘charging her husband with infidelity. The case was heard by Judge Graham yesterday, who granted her a decree, in which she is awarded the custody of their one child and $0 a month alimony. Judge Graham yesterday ordered Jo- seph Calegaris, the Italian druggist, to pay his divorced wife, Elvira Calegaris, $60 a month for the support and educa- | tion of their four minor children, who were awarded to the custody of Mrs. Calegaris when she secured the divorce last April. ? Suits for divorce were filed yesterday by Rose L. Manping against Charies Manning for desertion, Ella Phelan against John J. Phelan for cru- elty, Isaac B. Notter against Annie Not- ter for desertion, Annie Colbert against John F. Colbert for cruelty, Jane Dor- man against James Dorman for failure to provide, Laura Standley against Hen- ry C. Standley for failure to provide, Mercedes Phillips against Willlam P. Phillips for cruelty and Jennie Reed against Ralph Reed for crueity. Divorces for cruelty were granted yes- terday to Ida Clare McKinnon from Alex- grder T. McKinnon, Lulu Parsons from George Parsons and Blanche Karpe from Gustav Karpe. P e a e ae ad parallel case decided by the late Presi- dent Harrison. The officer had been found guilty and President Harrison ap- proved the finding of the court-martial. HUSTON SITS IN TENT. Major Hull, continuing, said that Lieu- genant Colonel Huston sat in his tent and | took no further aetion, nor was the “roll call’ sounded until 11 o’clock. Captain Mclntyre pointed out to the court that, on the contrary, the “roll call” was sounded at about 10 o’clock. Major Hull agreed to the time probably being 10:30, and added that Lieutenant| Colonel Huston did nothing but keep the | men from passing outside the Greenwich- street gate. asked to give assistance, his invariable reply had been that it would be against his orders. Lieutenant Colonel Huston, said Major Hull, had even told Major Wolf that he would do nothing to stop the disturbance. Finally, said Major Hull, the men were driven in by cavalry offi- cers. He contended that a soldier was at all time subject to discipline, and he feit that to allow such a condition to exist would be a bad precedent for young offiders.
