An ordinary seaman named John W. Cannon,
belonging to the Dispatch, which has just re-
turned to the navy-yard from the survey ofsamana
Bay, went ashore at Santa Babara on liberty list
during the cruise, and kicked up considerable ex-
element. He preceded to load up at once with
on the wharf and brag about the ship, but the
loading operation was so bolstcrous that IL became
necessary to arrest him. The chief of police was
picked up bodily aud thrown overheard the Cow
ernor of SANTANA was knocked clear across the
street. whole company of native mil tia was
cleaned out aud run up the street, and 1t took
about all of the available force Of the garrison 10

nearly all b ats crew to take him III to the ship.
The reader will recollect that when the Dispatch
first went TO SANTANA Bay spcck of war was

THE srAR-RouTE TRIAL.
Judge Jere Wilson Commences the Open
ing Argument for the Defense.

ing Argument for the Defense.
Yesterday in the star. route trial Mr.. Wilson
opened for the defense. He asked tie jurors to
dismiss from theii minds any newspaper articles
which they might have read denuncatory OF the
star-routcrs as they were called, aud which were
all ex .parte statements. In 1876 there were S,O03
star routes, aggrcgaling 1867 miles against
100000 miles at present, and he gave com.
p0rativo statement Of the railroad, steamboat, and
star service and said that some idea could be
formed Of the work performed by the Second As.
sistnnt Postmaster Generals office. They could
understand that IL was impossible for that officer
to scrutinlze eve petition and efidayit presented.
They should remember, too, that Congress pre-
parcs the C rouus-not the Post. Office Department.
The method of advertising and letting the routes
was then described The prosecution claimed
that Brady was guilty Of fraud because he had
not advertised for the full service, and claim that
he putposely did so to allow opportunity to ex-
pedie.
