to act as attorneys for Mrs. Cody. She
was to do the work to secure proofs of

She then told of her hunt for this
proof, and several letters were read by
her counsel from the different persons
who claimed to have knowledge of the
marriage. The affidavit of Mary Ann

leges be extended to Cuba so long as
the United States government is domin-
ant over the island.
In support of this request the Spanish
commissioners cannot, without vital
harm, immediately abandon or cut bnsi
ness relations so long maintained be
tween the mother country and the West
Indian territories. They declare that
family ties and social relations, added
to affairs maintained through centuries,
require a gradual dissolution. They
invoke the terms of the treaty of 18111.
by which the United States took over
Florida from Spain, and in the fifteenth
article which granted Spain for twelve
years the right to send her goods and
products to Florida in Spanish ships on
the same terms as ships carrying thither

Paris, Dec. 1 -From information
which comes to the correspondent of
the Associated Press from well authen-
ticated sources late this evening, it
seems unlikely that the commissions
will finish their work as soon as has
been expected. It is probable that ne-
gotiations may last considerably longer.
Madrid has instructed the Spanish com-
missioners on three points to which the
Americans attach much importance.
These are the cession of an island in the
Carolines, granting religious freedom
over the whole of the Carolines-and the
cession of a cable and coaling station at
Ceuta.
The Spanish government has instruct-
ed St nor Motitero Rios to grant none of
these, while Spain may ultimately
yield to them all. it is admitted that
the American commissioners have no
power to enforce their demands on
points not covered by the protocol. Be-

at Oariinville, he received the news
with indifference and manifested no in-
terest in the particulars. He was asked
for an expression in regard to the mat-
ter, but declined to talk about it, sim-
ply saving he did not consider it worth
while to discuss the subject.
Attorney General Akin was asked to
give bis opinion regarding the legal
effect of the action, in view of the sup-
posed fact that the chief executive of a
state cannot be preceded against in that,
way and cannot be prosecuted upon the
indictments returned, but declined to
say anything about the matter further
than he had not previously heard of the
action taken by the grand jury, and
was not aware such action was contemp-
lated.
This is not the first time the governor
of Illinois has been indicted. It is but
a few years since ex-Governor Altgeld
was indicted in Champaign county as
one of the trustees of the university,
of Illinois ex-officio, because the so called
“Flaw Law” was not observed at the!
university, but nothing ever came of t he I
indictment, which was soon afterwards j
dismissed.
THE CODY TRIAL.
Defendant Tells :* Sir tight forward Story
of Her Connection With tin* Cjihc.
Ai.haNY, N. Y., Dec. 1 The third
day of the trial of Mrs. Margaret Cody i
for alleged blackmailing of the heirs of
the Jay Gould estate was devoted al-
most exclusively to the examination
and cross examination of the defend-
ant. Her cross examination was not
concluded when the court adjourned
this afternoon until tomorrow.
In response to questions from her ai
torney, Mr. Dugan, Mrs Cody told a
straightforward story as to her connec-
tion with Mrs. Angell's case, and her
cross examination was of a preliminary
nature and did not weaken her story up
to its correspondent points in the cross
examination.
Mrs Cody said her first attention was
called to the case by ari interview in
the Rocky Mountain News of Denver,
in December 1804, with Mr Pierce, in
| which the latter was quoted as saying
] his wife, Mrs. Angell's daughter, was a
j daughter of the late Jay Gould, who
had deserted his first wife. She had on j
1 several occasions been employed to look j
np relationships and family traces and j
i the like, and when she saw this item in
' the paper she began correspondence j
j with Mrs. Pierce concerning the mat- i
ter, and eight months later visited Mrs. j
I Angell at Rennes' Point, and alter talk-
| ing the matter over with her she agreed
j to try and establish proof of the rela-
tionship of the latter to Jay Gonld. The
States until February. The dry season j
then will have been far advanced.
General Wood says the removal of j
the bodies causes great a1 arm at San- I
tiago. There are about 700 which may
be taken away if the authorities here j
grant permission. Applications con-
tinue to be received at the war depart-
ment from parents and relatives asking
that the removals be authorized, but in
view of General Wood’s recommenda-
tion it is probable these will be deferred
for several months.
