LeaVknworth, Ind., Oct. 18.—A ter-
and William Frasier were convicted yesterday of tho murder of Raymond Mears on Aug. D last. William Ulake was recommended to the mercy of the court, and his sentence was life imprisonment. The other three were sentenced to be hanged on Dec. 6. After the prisoners were sentenced it was evident that there was dissatisfaction at the jury's recommendation to mercy of William Blake, and some persons were heard to say that Blake would never
reach the penitentiary.

Regarding the efforts Which have been made to obtain a hearing for her husband, who is confined as a military prisoner at Marseilles for the alleged offense of holding communications with enemies of France in Madagascar, Mrs Waller said: “I am told that Ambassador Enstis has been criticised by those who sympathize with my hnsband, and I want to correct any false impression that may have obtained. Mr. Enstis treated us and is treating my husband with the utmost consideration and tenderness. He exerted every possible influence for our assistance and onr benefit.

Mrs. Waller said further that she had
forwarded to Secretary Olney documentary evidence sufficient to completely prove the innocence of Mr. Waller. Speaking of the much-talked-of concession, Mrs. Waller said: “For years English, French and German residents have been receiving grunts and have invariably fooled the government out of its royalties. No American had ever received a concession of any consequence, and when Mr. Waller represented to the Hova government the wisdom of drawing American capital to Madagascar and pointed out the controlling commercial interests of tho United States, the prime minister, anxious to invite American residents and investments to develop the resources of th^country, made the grant.’’ Examining Hi** R«cor<1. | Washington, Oct. 18.—It has been understood all along that the fate of exCousul Waller, who is still held iu imprisonment by tho French at Marseilles, hinged on the proceedings of the courtartial which soutenced him, and therore the state department has directed efforts mainly to securing a copy of i record of the court. Now that the. :ord is in Paris a careful examination of the documents is being made and several Haws in the proceedings have been noted. In the first place the court was composed of five officers, whereas the French military regulations are said to require at leant seven persons to sit on the court. But more important than this, it has been discovered that Waller was not really tri-jd as charged, but that as the trial progressed evidence was taken on another charge not included in the original matter, ami that it was upon what may lx* called a supplementary, but irregular charge, that Waller was convicted. Aside from tho other points in the case this matter of irregularity of the proceedings may in tho end go far Jo make up the case of our government | j presented, ‘^ . jgh Ambassador Eos-

BRAZIL'S RECOGNITION.
Much Coin input Over the Action In Favor
of the Cuban InHiirgeiitn.
Washington, Oct. 18.—The cable report from Buenos Ayres of Brazil's willingness, under certain circumstances, to recognize the Cubans as belligerents is causing much comment in official circles, although cable inquiries have not yet, brought either confirmation or denial. Under ordinary circumstances little reliance is placed in the Brazilian reports coming via Buenos Ayres, but iu this case it is known that an extensive agitation in favor of the Cuban insurgents has been going on recently throughout Brazil. The Brazilian pa-
