Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star

Wilson Barrett, the actor, testified regarding
the circumstances connected with Mr. Hurl-
burt's endesyors to obtain theatrical engage
ment for Mrs. Evelyn.
Mr.. Hurlburt, being again examined, denied
that he had met the plaintiff in an omnibus
and followed her, and also denied categori-
cally other statements made by Mrs. Evelyn
He never, in writing, nor by word of mouth,
promised plaintiff marriage; he never wrote
her letters on Treasury" paper the letters on
that kind OF paper being written by Murray
The witness gave the whereabouts of various
persons mentioned in Mrs. Evelyn's testimony,
proving that they could not have been together
that he had placed the matter in the hands OF
Mr.. A. Oakley Hall when the claim was made
Mr.. Hall present whereabouts were unknown
to him. The defendant said that he had heard
three weeks ago that Murray was ut certain
place and wrote him there.
The witness here handed counsel paper. He
had communicated with the American police
and had used every effort TO produce the man
Murray, but to no avail.
On the conclusion of Mr.. Hurlburts cross
examination. the attorney general intimated
that the testimony for the defense would prob
ably be continued until midday Friday. The

How 1t 10 Regarded in Europe-Itaiy's Crit
icism.
RoxE, April 16.-In political circles some
disappointment is expressed with Mr. Blaine
reply to the Marquis di Rudini. 1t is charac-
terized as ''vague" and 'inconclusive," and as
insisting merely on the status quo.
LONDON, April l6.-The Globe and 81. James
Gazette this evening publish comments upon
Mr.. Blaine's reply. Both papers agree in the
opinion that Mr.. Blaine's note Is an able state
paper.
The Times this morning, commenting upon
the Malta society, says: I'VE sympathize with
the people Of the United States in their deter
mination not to allow vile social diseases like
the Malta to take root. 1t is only jus. to re-
mind our kinsfolk, however, that they dis
played very little indignation where practices
akin to the Malta we're employed here by
Irish American extremists"
The Neacs condemns Americas treatment of
Italy, and says that it mnst be fine sport
for Mr.. Blaine that the melancholy business
has been characterized throughout by an utter
want of sympathy with Italy's patriotic anger.
The Standard regards Blaine's reply to Rd-
uint as very able, and il curious to see Rudinl's
response. The paper says it is difficult to see
how the Malta can slip through the meshes of
the net set for them.
