LINCOLN. Jnn. 17. ( Special. ) Argument
wai begun before Judge Mungor In tbo cir
cuit court thin ntlcrnoon on the application
of rnltcd States Attorney Summers , for the
releaflo en a writ of habeas corpus of Cor
poral Talr and Private Jockens , the two
fioldlerit of Fort Crook who were bound c
over In Sarpy county on the charge of kill
ing 1'rlvate Samuel Morgan , an escaping
prisoner.
Mr. Summerw opcneil the argument with a
review of the testimony taken In the trial
before Judge Munger In Omnha and con
tended that Morgan , being hold HS a do-
ncrtor In tlmo of war , subjected himself
to the death penalty by assaulting' his '
guard. HP paid the fact that Ilia guard
from whom Morgan firm escaped was a | |
man of suinll stature mattered nothing.
The artldCH of war provided that the strik
ing of a superior ofilcer was punishable by '
death or whatever punlBhmcnt the court- '
martial might decide upon. This made the
guard master cf the situation and the dead i
man. having taken the oath of enlistment , '
was a prisoner subject to all the provi-
Elons of the contract for service. Ho held
Hut the testimony showed conclusively
that Morgan knew what his duties wcro j
nnd that when ho assaulted his guard ho I
knew bis penalty might be death. Mr. i
Summon also emphasized the fact that Mor j
gan nrat deserted when the United StateH
wan In a state of war with Spain. Ho
also pointed out that Corporal Fnlr and Pri
vate Jockens did not ohoot until they had
exhausted all other means of capturing the
deserter. Morgan was called to halt three
tlrno and on the third command he turned
back and asked what the soldiers wanted
blm for nnd then ( started to ruu. Again they
called upon him to halt and when he kept
on running they flrcd.
After the conclusion of Mr. Summers' ar
gument Prosecuting Attorney Paul Haspctt
of Sarpy county presented , the sldo of the
state. Ho contended that the defendants
had no right to shoot the deserter , as mar
tial law was not prevailing at the time. At
torney General Smyth will close for the state
tomorrow morning.

dressed to Quartermaster Lutllnston. Tlw
otllcer was attached to the staff of General
Miller as the brigade quartermaster nnl
'r
afterward department quartermaster nt II-

General Miller says that Captain Jeffrey
rendered very vnluable service when Hello

Ing j charge of a steel vessel , the S.imar ,
lying directly under the nuns of the fort ,
and with this vessel towing the small boats
containing the troops to the shore.
The ofllccr nl'.o went ashore at considerable -
able personal risk nnd seized matsrlal with
whlfli the engines tf the atcamer Newport

$10,000 , to0COO. . Later on ho saved the
Karnar j \ from recapture by the natives.
When the troops landed Captain Jeffrey

Ish j bank , established n hospital , drove out
| a body of Insurgents and caved pioperty

Cat holies Determined.
MANILA , Jan. 17. 7:03 : p. m. The
' presence hero of Archbishop Chapelle , the j I
apostolic delegate to the Philippines , is
greatly stirring the Catholics of all nation
alities. The Filipinos have gained the Im
pression that Mgr. Chapcllo came as the
Joint agent of President McKlnley and the
j pope to reinstate the friars In their former
power. Ono cause of the excitement is a
statement which the Dominicans furnished
to the Spanish prcrc , that Mgr. Chapelle , In
visiting the heads of the order , told them he
favored the retention of the brotherhoods I
nnd that President .McKlnley shared his
views , which were that "If the friars returned -
turned to their parishes they would be con-
sldcrcd elements o' goad order and therc-
fore American agents. "
Mgr. Chapello denies the accuracy of thcso ,
,
statements. Catholics of all sections
petitioning Mgr. CMapelle and Major Gen- '
cral Otis against the friars returning to |
their parishes , repeating the charges of op- I
prcssions , extortions and immoralities i !
which , they assert , caused the revolution of
1S9C. The Catholics request that they bo
given pi tests not connected with the broth
erhoods. Delegations from many of the
towns are visiting the provincial governors
for the purpose ot making the same request
and prominent Manila Catholics are cabling
the pope on the subject. The people say the
friars will bo driven out If they return to
their parishes nnd there will be continual
trouble If the administration attempts to
protect them.
To quell the excitement Major General
Otis consented to the publication In the local
newspapers of this otatement , which he had l
made to a delegation of Filipinos : j
"If the church authorities -assign friars Ito I
:
to curacies who are obnoxious to the people
they will not bo compelled to accept them.
The individual liberty guaranteed by the
American constitution will not bo denied tha
Filipinos and the government will not for e
on them any ecclesiastical denomination
contrary to their wishes. "

WASHINGTON , Jan. 17. It Is said at the ,
War department that there is no special 1
significance in the fact that General Wheeler
has been relieved from further military
duty in tha Philippines nnd ordered home. 1 '
Although ho made no complaint. It is un- I
.
dcrstood that active duty In the field has
undermined General Wheeler's health and 1 .
i
that It waB dangerous for him to remain i
in the tropical climate of the Philippines , ' ,
much longer. ! i
Whlln It Is not officially admitted that :
I General Wheeler has resigned his com-
| I misElon , It lb litated positively that If ho
] has taken such a step the president will I
suspend action until ho has had nn op-
pcrtunity to confer with him on the sub ' .
ject , with a view to dissuading him from l
i such a course. ( IIo is nearly Ct years of [
i age , the statutory limit of active service
, ' In the army , and but for that fact would 1
have been appointed a brigadier general In
the regular army. j
The president is snld to favor legislation
authorizing the appointment of General i
Wheeler , General Leo and perhaps ono or' '
two other brigadier generals on tbo re-
Itired list In acknowledgment of their faith-
ful services to the country during and since
the Spanish war. It Is said that Is ono of
, the reasons why General Wheeler Is BIIIII-
moncd homo at this time. Ilia orders ,
which were issued eeveral days ago , re-
quirt ) him to como to Washington , by way
of San Francisco , for consultation with the
' secretary of war.

out came th crash of nearly a thousand
rlflts , not fifty paces from them. The Highlanders -

In | that wild lend. General Wnuchope was
down , riddled with bullets , yet gasping ,
dying- , bleeding from every vein , the Highland -
land ] chieftain raised hlm.iclf on his hands
1 nnd , knees nnd cheered h'l men forward.
"Men nd olllcerti fell In heans together.
The Ulaek Watch charged nnd the Gor.lona
; , ' and , the Seafsrlhs , with a yell that stirred
the , British eamp below , rushed onward ,
onwr.o , 'o death or disaster. The accursed
wires caught them round the legs until
.
they floundered like trapped wolves nnd all
the time , the rifles of the too sang the song
of i death In their ears. Then they fell back ,
1i broken 1 nnd beaten , leaving nearly 1,300'
dead i and \\ounded Just where the broad
1i breast 1 o * the grassy veldt melts Into the
tmbrnco i of the rugged African hills and

to tell the tale , n snd tale truly , but ono
,
untainted with dishonor or smirched with
disgraces ( for up these heights under sim
ilar clrrunvitunces oven a brigade ot devils
could scarce have hoped to pass.
IMil All Hint MnrtnlN Could.
' "All that mortal men could do the Scots
did ; they tried , they failed , they fell , nnd
thcro Itt nothing left us but to mourn for
thrm nnd avenge.
1 "All that day our men lay close to the
' Bo r lines under n blazing sun , over their
heads shots of friends and too never ceased.
] I i All that met our ryes was the rocky
heights that spoke with tongue of flames
whenever cur troops drew near. Once our
guards ; made a brilliant dash at the trenches
and like a torrent their resistless valnr
bore all before them nnd for a few brief
,
moments they Rot within hitting distance
j i of the foe. Well did they avenge the
slaughter of the Scots , the bayonets , like
j I tongue.1 ? of llame , passed above and below
j the rifles guard and swept through brisket
nnd breastbone. Out of their trenches the
guardsmen tossed the Boers , as men In
English havest fields toss the hay when
i the reapers' scythes have whitened the
j
cornfields , and the human streams were
plentiful whore the British Guardsmen
rtood. Then they fell back , for the flro
from the heights above them fell thick
i
as the spume of the surf on a rock-ribbed
coast , nut the Guards had proved to the
, Boers that , man to man , the Briton was his
master.
Mctliticn Cniinnt Fool Croiije.
"In vain all that day Mcthuen tried by
every rule he knew to draw the enemy.
Gamely the Lancers rode recklessly to In
duce these human rock llmpct to come
j ; out and cut them off. Cronje knew the
' temper ot our men nnd nn ironical laugh
played around his mouth and still ho stayed
| within his native fastnesses , but death sat
ever at his elbow , for our gunners dropped
the lyddlto shells and the howling shrap-
nell all along his lines , until the trenches
ran blood and many of his guns were
silenced. In the valley behind his outer
line of hills his dead lay piled hi hundreds
and the slope of the bill was a charnel
bouse , where the wounded all writhed
amidst the masses of the dead , a ghastly
tribute to Brltlth gunnery. When , at 1:30 :
p. m. of Tuesday , we drew off to Modder
river to report wo left nearly 3,000 dead
and wounded of grim old Cronje's men an
a token that England had bared Its teeth
In earnest. "
I The last , malls .from the Cape brought
numbers ot accounts ot Magcrsfoutein , but
none so vividly as thle. Julian Ralph In
the Dally Mall very bluntly writes of the
Highlanders after the first volley from the
hidden trenches :
"They turned and ran , literally colliding
and climbing over ono another in their
j confusion. A chaplain forward In the ranks
| was knocked down and trampled , as brave
i n man as any , yet one who declared that
' there lived no man who would have behave -
' have differently.
"It had been as If the earth had opened
a cleft , that ran so far as our men reached , ,
and fire had belched and shot swept the !
veldt. The fever of fright lasted only
while the iron ran 200 yards and then they
regained some measure of order. "
riilcnKoan Fl/Jrhtliin with llocr-i.
The Mir , a Hussopphlle newspaper at
Phlllpholls , publishes a letter from a Bul
garian ex-offlcer now serving In the Trans
vaal army. It Is dated , "Farmers' Kopje ,
Natal , December 2 , 1S99 , " and is in these
terms :
"Loo'k at the heading of my letter Natal.
Can you Imagine that I should write you
from South Africa , whereas you thought
mo to bo in Chicago ? I am now in the
entrenchments of the Boer army before
Ladysmlth. As soon as war was declared
I made up my mind to go as a volunteer
and at New York presented myself to the
I Dutch committee there , who paid my trav
I eling expenses , and I embarked on the
! Sidonla Fitwe , bound for Madeira. On
i
November I wo landed at Lotircnzo Mar-
quez , on the 6th I was In Pretoria and on
thn 7th already here.
"I had a company of 110 soldiers entrusted
to rue and , as a pioneer ofllccr , my task is
very Important. Bearded , stalwart , hard 1
I fellows are those Boers. I speak English ,
' and that with the Boers U the universal 1
j language. Good people , but how terribly
they hate the English. We never hated the
Turks BO much. So many of them are good 1
shots , good horsemen and good Christians.
These of them who have finished their task
of digging Hit down to rest with their bl-
bleo In tholr hands they know no other'
book. They believe In God nnd their rights.
"Our tactics hero and everywhere along
the fighting line are 'keep In your trenches. '
Wu get ourselves entrenched and wait for
tbo enemy. The English make their attacks
In the open , thinking that they nro fighting
i the Soudanese. We fire volleys at them and ; 1
I make havoc in their ranks. Hundreds are
I I left on the battlefield and the others retire.
i As wo are well mounted wo do our movc-
I mints quickly. The hardest things we have
I to endure are the terrible heat , which keeps
I I us In our shirtsleeves all day , and the SI-
I berlan cold of the night , the heavy downpours -
| < pours of rain and the dust storms. "

The Globe's correspondent at Magcrsfon-
teln , presumably the Earl Do La Warr ,
writes Eomo plain home truths , In fact part
ot his letter has been eliminated by the
censor.
"It la not , " ho says , "tho numerical IO.JB
ol soldiers and men ghastly and terrible
enough In Itself which makes the position
BO serious , It is the effect which these re
verses have on the morale of our troops and
on the Boers which constitute the real
danger. If wo could point to ono real victory ,
If cur men could see that these hard
fiught battled with their blooody riMtilts
wire clearing the road to Pretoria they
wculd know they were doing something good.
But all along the line from Chievelcy to
Modder rivc.r we are facing well nigh im-
picgnablo positions occupied by men de
termined to hold them with their last drop
of blood , hurling forth an unanimous delimit
'
message Thus far and no further. '
I "It IH u a ol era to disguise the fact that a
* l.irgo percentage of our troops arc * begin-
nliiR to lose heart In this campaign. Can
1,011 blame thorn ? A cloye sut'c'cseion of
frontal attacks on an Invisible foe strongly
ertrcni'hcd. where retallu'ion is almost Im-
jpot > Elble , will shake thu ncrvo of the biavcst.
four men have fought well , their c
!
under most trying and adverse ilroum-
'
. stances has been admirable , but they have
| been askrM to perform miracle * and , being
j human , they have failed. Do not Maine
them. i Do not blame that gallant gneral
who on Monday last was the first victim ot
the 1 terrible disaster which overcame the
