ing when tho Aurora saluted with
12 guns and tho Ohio answered.
Admiral Train and his squadron
accompanied the Russian vessels
to Manilla.
In an interview, Rear Admiral

Tho Statu, 4th hot. ,
Miles IT Smith, who has hoon ,
critically ill at 1h > State |Oiiilcn- |
tiary, has been grunteil a, reprieve
by Gov 1 ley ward. Smith is scrv- j ,
ina sentence of lb yours foi F
housebreaking and attempt to' (
murder. Two yours of his sentence
ho has served already.
Smith is 2S years old und wus
convicted of breaking into a ear
und shooting at those who tried to
arrest him.
Gov Hey ward's action in the
case is stated in the following
endorsement on the petition: "1
have thought lit to reprieve, and
by these presents do reprieve, the ,
sentence of the said miles F Smith
for a period of six months, at the (
expiration of which the sontenee
as herein imposed to be of full
force and effect.''
This is an unprecedented action.
Smith is dying of valvular trouble ,
of the heart. It is possible that ]
he cunimt live u week. The
mother of the dying convict culled,
on the governor yesterday and
went away with the paper in her
possession. Subsequently she
presented the reprieve at 'lie penitentiary
and was given possession
of her son, whom sho will
try t ) nurse back to life and
strength.
Smith has the dropsy and his
limbs are swollen so bully that he
cannot lie down or sit without
groat pain, and is kept in a reclining
position. 'The vehicle
which his mother had sent to the
prison to remove the invalid was
not suitable for his comfort and f
Superintendent Griffith ha 1 the
prisonor removed in a wagon
which was tnoeecomfortable. t"
The mother lives in the Rich- 1
J land mill village, and if it be pos- ^
siblo for her son to recover lie c
will bo returned to tho pcuitcn *
tiary at tho expiration of six li
months. 1
lint it is believed that ere that
time elapses tho prisoner will i>o
given his long reprieve and his ^
sentonca will have baon commuted
in full. Dr S E Ilirmond
made the following statement: "1 '
have completely examined Miles t
Smith and tied that he has a heait a
trouble that will never lie cured, 0
and he is in very bad condition J
an I i don't think he can live long a
and he may die at any time.'' d
Gov. Hoy ward did not take any t
C it ion on tho facts iu tho cast*, ^
but acted from a standpoint of *'
humanity. IIe does not think th? o
case dcseiving of h pardon if the v
convict were in full strength Hut H
us ho is an invalid, is useless to tho ''
State and his mother wants him,
the governor took such action us n
seemed to liini right and proper. ^
