Two Military Departments Hare
Been l)«-siu na< cd.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—The war
department tonight issued an order es
tablishing two departments in and
about Havana, viz: The department
of Havana, comprising the city prop
er, suburbs and an area of about ten
square miles, and the department of
the province of Havana, comprising
the territory outside of the territory
proper. Maj. Gen. Ludlow Is assigned
to command the department compris
ing the city and suburbs, and Maj.
Gen. Lee is assigned to the depart
ment outside of the city.
BAND PLAYED^ "DIXJE."
Col. Bryan's Regiment Given a
Grand Send-Off.
SAVANNAH, Ga., Dec. 30.—The
transport Obdam sailed for Havana
this afternoon with the First battalion
of the Third Nebraska regiment. The
march of the battalion of Col. Bryan's
late command was an enthusiastic one.
The troops were received with cheers
as they passed through the city. The
band played "Dixie" between the camp
and the transport, and was loudly
cheered. Besides the Nebraska soldiers
the Obdam carried a number of nurses
and surgeons for the Havana occupa
tion.
HE IS CONSERVATIVE.
President Palma Does Not Antici
pate Trouble In Havana.
NEW YORK. Dec. 30.—Tomas Es
trada Palma, president of the late Cu
ban junta, said today, that he did not
anticipate any serious disturbances in
Havana at the raising of the American
flag. Mr. Palma expressed a disbelief
in the rumor that Gen. Menocal had
taken the field. Gen. Menocal, he said,
was a patriot and a brave man, and
would not become actively hostile to
the Americans. Mr. Palma expressed
regret that Gen. Gomez was not sum
moned to Havana, as such a courtesy
would furnish the best guarantee of
peace and order.
"I hope for fraternity and intelligent
sympathy between the Cubans and
Americans," said Mr. Palma, "for it
will greatly facilitate the beneficent
work of the United States in Havana."
DREYFUS RUMOR DENIED.
Ministry of Colonies Says He Is Not
En Route to France.
PARIS, Dec. 30. —The ministry of the
colonies denies the report that Dreyfus
has embarked from Cayenne on his re
turn to France, adding that the court
of cassation alone can decide the ques
tion of the return of. the prisoner.
NEW YORK, Dec. SO.—A special from
Paramaribo, via Hayti, says:
"It is reported here that former Capt.
Dreyfus, who, for the last three years
has been kept in solitary and close con
finement on Devil's island, one of the
isles in the Salut, a few miles from
here, has been removed from his islan i
prison to Cayenns and sailed from there
for France on Dec. 4, on a convict
transport. No details regarding the d3
parture of the prisoner, or as to his
ultimate destination can be ascer
tained. It is believed that he will be
taken to Paris to await the orders of
the court of cassation."
Svssloiin of Scientists.
NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—The sessions of the

■were continued today. The attendance at the
various sections was not as large as usual.
Many members of the American Morphololog

botanical and zoological gardens. Reading of

SATURDAY MORNING DECEMBER 31, 1898.
MRSJOTKIN WEPT
HER TEARS PROPHETIC OF THE
VERDICT QUICKLY REACHED
BY THE JURY
GUILTY OF MURDER
IN THE FIRST DEGREE
PUNISHMENT FIXED AT IMPRISON
MENT FOR THE PERIOD OF
NATURAL. LIFE
CLOSING ARGUMENTS
WERE CONVINCING
Attorney Ho«mcr Maintained a Dig
nified TOne That Appealed to the
Jury So Strongly That airs. Hot
ting Lawyer Objected to Such
Line of Argument Prisoner Was
in a State of Collapse at Finish.
SAN FRIANCISOO, Dec. 30.—Mrs.
Cordelia Botkin was, tonight, found
guilty of murder in the first degree, for
causing the death of Mrs. Jane Dunn
ing, by sending a box of poisoned
candy to her temporary home in Dover,
Del. The condemned murderess will
be spared an ignominous death on the
gallows, however, the jury that found
her guilty Imposing also a penalty of
life imprisonment. The verdict was
unexpected. An acquittal was con
fidently awaited by the defense, while
the prosecution feared a disagreement.
Considering the unexpectedness of
the verdict Mrs. Botkin kept herself
well in hand when her fate was an
nounced. Not until the jurymen and
most of the spectators had left the
court room did she give evidence of
collapse. Then she sat back hair faint
ing, but speedily revived when given a
glass of water.
The jury retired at 5:50 p. m. It is
not known how many ballots were tak
en before a final agreement was reach
ed, but there are rumors that at first
the opinions of the twelve jurymen
were not In accord and that before
unanimity was arrived at a comprom
ise was necessary.
Just before 9 o'clock word was sent
to Judge Cook that the jury was pre
pared to make a report. Court was
immediately convened, and at 9:15 the
jury stated, through its foreman, that
a verdict had been reached, the verdict
being that Mrs. Botkin, accused of kill
ing Mrs. John P. Dunning by means
of poisoned candy, sent through the
mails, was guilty of murder in the first
degree. In accordance with the laws
of California, which empower the jury
to decide between hanging and Impris
onment for life, the penalty was fixed
at imprisonment for life.
CLOSE FOR PROSECUTION.
The argument for the prosecution
closed with District Attorney Hosmer
on the stand. Mr. Hosmer's method of
summing up the case for the prosecu
tion was in great variance to the
threatening, cajoling efforts of Attor
ney Knight and MeGowan for the de
fense. Mr. Hosmer was cool and col
lected throughout. He modulated his
voice to a nicety, and seldom spoke
passionately. The curious crowd that
gathered in the court room, expecting
to hear Mrs. Botkin griddled, were in
a measure disappointed, but it was
Mrs. Botkin's attorneys and their
methods in the conduct of the case
that 'Mr. (Hosmer made the principal
point of his attack. Mr. Hosmer com
menced his argument with the inci
dents attending the arrival of the
package of candy at the Dover, Del.,
postoffice. He condemned the defense
for insinuating that the package might
have been placed in the mail bag by
any one connected with the postojf.ee.,
He accused the attorneys of going be
hind the facts. He traced the package
to the Pennington home, and its de
livery to the unsuspecting Mrs. Dun
ning and the passing of the bonbons
to other guests, their sickness and the
death of Mrs. Dunning and her sister
Mr. Hosmer deftly pictured the grief
of the parents and friends of the Pen
nington and Dunning families, and
concluded with a scathing attack upon
the poisoner. He took up the analysis
of the candy by Chemist Wolff," of
Dover, Del., and Prof. Price, of this
city. He ridiculed the defense for its
contentions that members of the po
lice department in this city or even
the chemists themselves might have in
serted the poison to make out a case.
He pointed out that Chemist Wolff
had found lump arsenic and that Dr.
Price had discovered the presence of
powdered arsenic. The defense in tit
gument asserted that only lump arsenic
had been found.
WITNESSES DEFENDED.
Mr. Hosmer addressed the jury on
the rights of witnesses. He contended
that all witnesses were entitled to re
spect and credit until disproved, and
none of the witnesses for the prose
cution, he asserted, had been proved
untruthful. The .attorneys for the de
fense attacked all the witnesses for
the prosecution and introduced matters
entirely irrelevant to the case In an
attempt to besmirch and to belittle
their testimony. He attacked Attor
ney Knight particularly, and charac
terized his efforts to free his client an
dishonest and despicable. He asserted
thai the attacks of the defense had.
ended in naught—that not one witness
had been contradicted.
He then took up Mrs. Bctkin's testi
mony. He showed that, in spite of Mrs.
Botkin's statements and the assertions
of the defense to the contrary, the
woman had more than a pasting regard
for Dunning; that her life with him
was licentious and depraved. He point
ed to Dunning's action .Jn coming
across the contintent to prosecute her,
and asserted that Dunning would not
have gone through what he had unless
he was certain of the guilt of Mrs.
Botkin, that he would not have dis
closed their relations and been exposed
to the criticism of the newspapers and
public without just reason. He took
up the letter of June 17, 1897, which

of American Troop*.
HAVANA, Dec. 30.—At 10 o'clock on
Sunday morning, Jan. 1, the United
States troops will occupy the plaza in
front of the captain general's palace
and the adjacent streets, the Spanish
soldiers withdrawing and proceeding:
to the transports awaiting them. Capt.
Gen. Castellanos and the members of
his staff will remain in the captain
general's apartments.
Early in the morning details of Unit
ed States troops will enter Morro castle
and Cabanas fortress, the Spanish
troops thereupon withdrawing to the
town's port, with the exception of a
detachment of infantrymen who will
remain behind to fire a salute to the
American flag.
The United States military commis
sioners and their staffs, Maj. Gen.
Brooke, military governor of the isl
and; Maj. Gen. Lee, military governor
of the province of Havana; Maj. Gen.
Ludlow, military governor of the city
of Havana, and Commodore John W.
Philip, commander of the United
States naval forces at Havana, with
their staffs, will join Capt. Gen. Castel
lanos in the state salon of the palace.
On the palace roof will be a Spanish
officer, probably of captain's rank,
a sergeant and a guard of privates,
with Maj. Butler and a detail of Unit
ed States Infantry. Immediately fol
lowing the boom of the American sal
ute to the red and golden flag of Spain,
the Spanish officer will lower the flag,
and Maj. Butler will raise the Stars
and Stripes, the Spanish guns saluting.
The latter salute will carry its special
significance to the brilliant company
inside the palace, and Capt. Gen. Cas
tellanos, in a few words, will transfer
the government to Maj. Gen. Wade, of
the United States military commis
sion, who, after replying to the cap
tain general, will transfer it to Maj.
Gen. Brooke, military governor of
Cuba.
AFTER THE SURRENDER.
As soon as these ceremonies are over
Capt. Gen. Castellanos will leave the
palace, escorted by the United State 3
troops, proceeding across the plaza to
the steamer Rabat, upon which he will
embark for Matanzas. As the captain
general crosses the plaza the United
States troops drawn up there will
salute. A short reception will follow
in the state salon, after which the
American generals and naval com
manders will go to tht Hotel Inglaterra
to review a column of United States
troops.
Lieut. Wade, the son of Maj. Gen.
Wade will raise the American flag over
Morro castle, and Fitzhugh Lee Jr.
over Cabanas fortress. It appears that
the Spanish authorities have offered to
sell privately the signal flags, staffs
and other aides to navigation at Morro
castle. When the United States mili
tary commissioners heard of it Brig.
Gen. Clous protested to Capt. _ Gen.
Castellanos. The latter, who said he
was quite unaware of any such at
tempt, promptly issued orders to the
contrary.
The United States military commis
sioners will probably sail for the Unit
ed States on Jan. 7.
CUBAN CELEBRATION OFF.
The address of the junta patriotica
regarding the abandonment of the
proposed demonstrations has been
widely circulated today. It is as fol
lows :
"To the People of Havana: In accordance
with the wishes of the American authorities,
the directory of the Junta, patriotica, after
consultation with the main committee, has
agreed to suspend the festivities planned to
celebrate the independence of the island. In
a reasonable letter to the commission charged
with presenting the festival programme, Gen.
Ludlow has indicated the desirability of sus
yei'ding for the present, public demonstra
tions, owing to a rumor that at the present
moment, when the Cuban'police are not yet
organized, there might be some Interruption
of public order, in the preservation of which
all citizens and especially all Cubans, are
deeply interested. At the same time Gen.
Ludlow declares that the American authori
ties are in full sympathy with the joyous
feeling of the Cubans, and that when the
situation becomes more settled they will take
pleasure in promoting such festivals as have
been produced and will even participate in
them. But the American authorities are con
vii.ced that the present moment is not op
portune for celebrations.
"In view of the fact that the considerations
thus urged are quite in accord with previous
gcod judgment, the representatives of the
directory have determined to suspend the fes
tivals arranged for the coming week, which
will be carried out as soon as circumstances
permit. The directory regrets the existence
of such doubts and misgivings as prevent the
carrying out of the progarmmes projected,
but they have agreed to recommend to the
Cubans to co-operate in maintaining order
during the change of flag."*, and in the days
following, because they are convinced that
the moderation and orderly behavior of the
Cuban people at these moments will powerful
ly influence the future destiny of our coun
try."
The Spanish gunboats Hernan Cortez and
Pinzon sailed tod-ay for Spain.
Gen. Brooke has announced the com
position of his staff as follows: Maj.
Gen. Chaffoe, chief of ptaff; Capts. Mc-
Kenna and Campbell and Lieut. Castle,
aides de camps: Richards, adjutant
general; Cannon, assistant general;
Duly, Judge advocate- Humphrey,
quartermaster; Bliss, chief of customs;
Gabriel Smith, chief commissary; Dr.
O'Reilly, chief surgeon'; George Smith,
chief paymaster, and Col. Dunwoody,

MAE AND ZOLLMAN
ACTIONS OF THE TWO OFFICIALS
AROUSE RESIDENTS OF THE
FIRST WARD
DEMAND THAT THEY RESIGN
Discharge of W. D. SteTrart by
Judge Illne. With the Consent of
As*is<imt County Attorney Zoll
man, the Basis for an Indignation
Meeting Strong Resolutions
Passed—To Appeal to Grand Jury.
At a mass meeting of residents of
the First ward, held last evening at
Woolsey's hall, Burr and Case streets,
resolutions were passed demanding
the resignations of Municipal Judge
Robert C. Hine and Assistant County
Attorney F. W. Zollman, and a com
mittee of citizens was appointed to
prefer charges of Impeachment against
the two officials and to secure the
presentment to the grand jury of Will
lam D. Stewart on a charge of as
saulting the person of a female child
This action was the result of an ouT- j
burst of popular indignation among !
the residents of the vicinity of where
Stewart is alleged to have committed
the offense at the action of Judge
Hine and Attorney Zollman in having
permitted Stewart to be discharged, in
the face of strong testimony, on pre
liminary examination in the municipal !
court.
The alleged offense was committed
several weeks ago, when, it was claim
ed by the parents of the little girl, that
Stewart, an engineer, with a family,
had coaxed the little Paulsen girl
into his house and there assaulted her.
Stewart was arrested and appeared
before Judge Hine in municipal court
for preliminary examination. The lit- j
tie grl told the story of the assault
In court and others also testified, but
it was represented to Judge Hine that
Stewart had previously borne a good
reputation, and that his behavior had
been due to the fact that he was on
the verge of delirium tremens from
overindulgence in liquor.
Stewart's friends promised that if
released he would be sent to an asylum
In 'Minneapolis for treatment for
alcoholism and on this showing the
man was cleared with the consent of
the assistant county attorney, who
prosecuted the case on the part of the
state.
Then it was that the indignation of
the neighbors of the Paulsens began
to rise and the feeling resulted in the
meeting held last evening, when the
little hall was filled with an indignant
throng.
The meeting was called to order by
George Woolsey, and John Copeland,
of the board of public works, was
elected chairman and Woolsey secre
tary.
Mr. Copeland recited the facts in the
case that had led up to the calling of
the meeting and declared that he be
lieved that it was a serious duty to
see that Stewart be brought to justice
and that those that had so far per
mitted his escape should be made to
suffer for their neglect of duty.
"I believe that this matter should be
carried to the flnai point," said As
semblyman Nelson, who followed Mr.
Copeland.
Then Peter Paulsen, father of the
child, who was present with his wife
and daughter, told the story of the
assault in detail and awakened a
Btorm of indignation, especially among
the ladies, who were in the majority
In the audience. Mr. Paulsen said that
Judge Hine had ordered the little girl
taken from the stand just as she had
began to give testimony on the actual
occurrence.
Mrs. Paulsen, mother of the little
girl, and Mrs. Stafford, who had been
a witness at the examination, also
made brief addresses.
On motion the chair appointed Mrs.
Myron, Mrs. Dcllmore, Mrs. Stafford,
Mrs. Eckman and Mrs. Woolsey as a
committee to raise funds to carry out
the purpose of the meeting.
Then a set of resolutions was read
by the secretary and passed unani
mously.
After an opening clause reciting the
alleged facts of the charge and of the
proceedings in municipal court the
resolutions said:
And, whereas, said Stewart was discharged
by said Hine, notwithstanding the fact that
the evidence showed that the aforesaid crime
had been committed, and said Stewart had
committed the rame:
And, whereas, It was the duty of Robert
C. Hine, In case the evidence showed that
a crime had been committed and there was
probable cause to believe that said Stewart
committed the- same, to bind said Stewart to
appear before the grand Jury;
And, whereas, the indifferent manner in
which said examination was prosecuted on
behalf of ttu state by mid Zoliaian «vt
PRICE gWO_CEWTB--{Syjraa M
denced at least a want of interest in the en
forcement of the law;
Now, therefore, we, citizens of the First ward
of the city of St. Paul and vicinity, la mass
meeting assembled, do hereby resolve:
1. We unqualifiedly denounce the action
of said Hfne and Zollman in the matter of
the aforesaid examination of the said Stewart
as an unpardonable violation, of official
duty, as outrageous travesty upon justice, an
-assault upon the sanctity of our homes p.nd
the chastity of our daughters, and'Ta menace
to the rights guaranteed by the constitution
to every citizen, however humble his station
in life.
2. We demand the resignation of said Hine
and Zollman from positions of public tru9t.
8. That a committee of seven be appointed
by the chairman, whose duty it shall be to
employ counsel, and, If by him so advised,
to prefer charges of impeachment agxinst
ssiid Hine and Zollman; to present the afore
said charge agalni<t said Stewart to the grand
jury, and, in case an Indictment is found, to
see that the case on the part of the state i 3
properly presented and tried and that Bald
Zollman take no part therein.
The chair appointed the following as
provided in the resolutions: John Copo
land, James Frost, G. F. "Woolsey, Carl

PRETORIA, Dec. 30.—Strong repre

proposed celebration, on Jan. 2, of the
defeat of the Jameson raid, when, at
the suggestion of the Pretoria Volk
stein the project was to burn Dr. Jame

Owing to the president's action the

led to serious riots.

ST. PETER, Minn., Dec. 30.-(Spe
cial.)—The state board of hospital
trustees met here today, to investigate
the charges growing out of the recent
death of Mrs. J. G. Bauer, at the St
Peter institution. The full board was
present, Chairman Mason presiding.
The investigation was public and was
informal in its nature, questions being
asked the witnesses by the different
trustees and by Mr. Bauer, who was
an absorbed listener.
There were no sensational features or
testimony today. All the evidence on
the part of the institution was intend
ed to show that no continued abuse of
any patient could occur without the
management hearing of it. The rules,
it was stated, positively prohibited
violence or striking. Occasional in
stances of violence on the part of the
attendents have occurred,and these had
been immediately investigated and the
offending employe summarily discharg
ed.
Rev. Mr. Bauer was the first witness.
He prefaced his story by saying that
he held no enmity or spirit of revenge,
and that no matter what decision the
board might reach, he would not prose
cute the case further. In a clear and
concise manner, bearing the impression,
of sincerity, he related the case prac
tically as he has told it before. His
evidence consisted largely of what had
been to d him by his wife when he had
visited her at the hospital. He did
not think co much of the stories of vio
lence as .that he believed her death had
been caused by the excessive use of
drugs. On his last visit, the day before
her death, she was apparently paralyz
ed and unable to move a finger.
Supt. Tomlinson testified as to Mrs.
Bauer's condition since she first enter
ed the hospital three years ago. She
suffered from melancholia and delu
sions and from suicidal manki. She had
been taken home several times, return
ing the last time in November last. Shs
frequently refused to partake of food
and forced feeding was necessary. The
records showed that she suffered from
kidney trouble wh'en first admittel
growing steadily worse; the malady re
sulting finally in her death. No opiates
! were ever given her, but stimulants
were Hven to increase her heart ac
tion. This evidence was corroborated
by Drs. Darling and Bassett.
Several nurses testified that Mrs.
Bauer frequently resisted the efforts
to dress and bathe her. She would
throw herself on the floor and bruise
herself in this way. One or two of her
teeth had been broken in forced feed
ing.
Rev. Mr. Bauer stated this evening
that he was satisfied the board would
make a thorough investigation, adding
that some things he did not understand
before had been explained satisfactory
ly, while others had not.
The Winquist case will be looked Into,
but so far no general complaint had
been made.
EVIDENCE ACCUMULATES.
New Cane of Alleged Cruelty at the
St. Peter Insane Hospital.
(MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 30.—The testi
mony of a wife, with the husband a
living witness, is the latest develop
ment in the St. Peter insane hospital
matter. Mrs. Lafayette M. Simmond?,
residing at 1410 Twenty-fifth street
south, tells a story, which, if contain
ing but half the truth, would indicate
that cruel treatment and great care
lessness are permitted to prevail in the
state's oldest hospital for the insane.
Mrs. Slmmonds when seen today
frankly expressed herself on the case
as pertaining to her husband. Lafay
ette M. Sirnmonds is fifty years of age,
and was at one time engaged in the
harness making business, and consid
ered well to do. Through the crisis of
1892 he became financially embarrassed,
and two years ago showed signs of
mental weakness. He was sent to tho
St. Peter hospital June 20, 1307, and
was brought home March 1, this year.
His condition then, according to the
statement of 'Mrs. Slmmonds, was pit
iable. His body was a mass of filth,
beneath which were sore^. and scars
innumerable. The right ear had a scar
its entire length, showing that it had
been split ar.d stitched; two ribs were
broken, and the half-witted man would
crouch back and manifest deadly fear
at the simple uplifting of a hand.
"The first I noticed that anything
was wrong with him," said Mrs. Sim
monds, "was when I commenced to
undress him that evening. One of his
ankles had a deep sore, the blood from
which had soaked through his sock,
so that it was difficult to take it off.
The sore did not heal up for two
months. Upon further examining him
I found sores on his elbows and
shoulders. On his right thigh was a
V-shaped gash, which he now bears
as a scar. I did not know what the
lump in his left side was when I first
felt it. It wae so peculiar that I called
Dr. Cleveland. He dm not have to ex
amine it long before he said that two
