Captain-Gener Valmaseda delivered

He issued on the occasion a proclama-
ton to the people, saying; Powerful
motives moved me to demand my sepa-

period, it will be possible to announce to
the home government the termination of
the war. But circumstances are superior
to the will of man, The realization of

Yesterday at noon the jury in the
Stokes case had not agpsed. AT eleven
o clock Edward S. Stokes was brought
into court, Judge Ingraham took his
place on the bench, and the jury, who
had been locked up all night, were sent
for. The court was almost as crowded
as on week days during the trial. The
prisoner looked pretty much as usual,
presenting no evidence of having passed
a sleepless night. The jury, on the con-
trary, all looked pale and fatigued.
Judge Ingraham, addressing the jury,
said: Il understand, gentlemen, that
you have not agreed"
Foreman-No, sir, there is no posi-
bility that we can. n
Judge Ingraham--I hardly feel at lib
erty to discharge you yet. The case
has occupied nearly three weeks on trial,
and was very fully tried, and the time
you have had for consideration has not
been very long; l can't see any way to
you now.
Foreman--We stand just the same as
at first.
Judge-I do not want to know any |
thing about your division. / will ar
range so that you can send for'rne at
any time, and the counsel will be sent
for.
The jury, to their great disappoint-
ment, were then locked up again. The
jury is said to stand eight for conviction
and four for acquital.
