DOES BLAINE REMEMBERq
His Attention Called To the Congress of
American Nations.

His Attention Called To the Congress OF
American Nations.
The Heraldo, of Madrid, in an article
protesting against a supposed scheme
of the United States government to an
mex the island of Cuba, says Mr.. Blaine
ought to recollect that the congress
of American nations plainly proved
that Spanish-Americans are not dis
posed to allow themselves to be absorb
ed by the great northern republic. The
people of Cuba, it says, are strongly
Spanish, and are equally opposed to
becoming part of the United States.
Probably with the exception of few
tradesmen, there is no one on the island
who is at all desirous of annexation.
Spain, the Heraldo continues, would
shed her last drop of blood in resisting
any attempt to deprive her of her
colony, fearing neither Cuban revolu-
ton nor a war with the United States.

WOULD ANIMALS SMOKEq
Experiments Indicating Tint They Would
If Possible.

If Possible.
En the Berlin Geological Gardens Prof.
Paul Meyerheim, painter of animal life,
has been trying the effects of the fra
grant weed on various denizens Of the
gardens, with results which are as novel
rs they are undoubtedly amusing.
Chief among the subjects Of his
experiments, says the London Tele-
graph, was the brown bear. lie declares
that the common brown bears" are
gsHi,ine enthusiasts for tobacco. "When
l E,lf my cigar smoke into their cage"
h remarks, they rush to the front
ruSbing their noses and backs against
tlae bars through which the smoke has
PCnetrated." The professor, with some
teunerity, once experimental on the lion.
The creature was asleep, and this was
fsz moment selected for putting vol
usne of tobacco smoke in his face. Did
he at once wake up with a savage growl,
lash his tail, and springing at the bars,
shake the massive iron? Not at all
He awoke and "stood on his legs"
which seems a natural enough attitude
20 adopt, and ''sneezed powerfully"
Then he quietly lay down on his side
and elevated his nose, as If asking for
= second dose" It may be news to
some naturalists to hear that goats,
stags, and namas all devour tobacco
sndcigars with remarkable satisfaction.
It Is certainly somewhat Of a waste Of
the material to Let prime Havana be
.~bolted" In one gulp by an antelope;
but the professor was actuated by q
praiseworthy desire to discover scientific
FACTS, and also by a wish to get on good
terms with creatures whom it was his
business to sketch. 81 made q personal

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
HAMPTON, Va, Sept 9.-On the conclusion
Of Capt Gray's testimony in the trial of Hams
this afternoon for the mmrder of Edward Han
neSan, Frank Taylor Evans son of Commander
Evans. came to the stand He testified that he
sixteen years old today and knew both
Hams and Haunegan. On the night Of the
shooting he was o. the beach and saw the canoe
coming around the jetty; he saw Hams draw a
pistol and shoot Hannegan twice The latter
was towing 1T the time, to the best of his judg-
ment, and he was sure flanagan had the oar
IN his hands. He heard Hannegan shout, the
only words he could distinguish being a cry
for help Hannegan then living on the
bottom with his head above the gunwale.
After the shooting Hams started out into the
roads with the canoe Witness was on the
beach about half way between the jetty and the
point where his father WIS sitting IN the dory.
Cross-e1amined by Mr.. Wise Frank said that
he and his father were together when they
first saw the boat coming around the jettv. and
that then he started toward the end of the
jetty. The canoe cleared the ietty by only
short distance Witness was farther from the
shooting than his father. but he was looking at

SMITH TELLS OF BLOW STRUCK.
Lincoln Smith, o young colored man, came
in and, STOPPING over to disgorge large piece
Of tobacco, started in to tell his story before he
was questioned at all. On being questioned he
said he was at the light house dock on the barge
on the 18th Of June: saw Hams and man in q
canoe. Witness said to Capt. Gray that there
sitting rose and struck the other man with the
oar and then the shots came.
"An' believe yit he WAS struck wild de oar, -
said the witness.
When they were coming round the jetty one
man was sculling, the other rowing. He
watched the boat from the time it came around
the jetty and after little while the man who
was rowing stopped for "a second, and when
he stopped for a second" said Smith, 'he
struck with the oar at the man who wal
sculling and then came the shots real quick
Witness could not be sure the oar struck
Hains, but he thought il did. II it did strike
him it would have struck him on the side. Al
the boat came around the jetty it was pointing
toward the shore, but after the shooting 4
headed toward the ripraps.
All the questions were propounded BY Judge
Gunter, and at times the witness got prett,
badly tangled up, and 1t took careful question
ing to extricate him.
Smith said he heard some growing" In tn.
boat. but could not distinguish words.
The chief point OF difference between hi
| testimony and that OF Commander Evans ant
his son was that Hannegsn had struck at Hahn
With the oar before the shooting took place.
Cross-exan.ined by Mr.. Shiliington, Smith
said he did not know whether he was In hi
twenty-second year, but he knew from hi
mother that he was going on his twenty second

taken meals frequently there. For awhile
before the shooting the two men were closer
together than ever before.
Col Hams said that his son weighed about
$50 pounds and had been good deal Of an in
valid for u number Of years past. He suffered
from nervous prostration and bladder trouble
and also from suppressed scarlet fever. About
six years ago he had had a serious operation
performed upon one Of his legs. Ned Hanne-
gan, in witness opinion, was vastly stronger
man than witness son. The latter was twenty
four years Of age.
Col. Hams identified o scale drawing Of the
plan and elevation Of the canoe, which he said
had been made by his son, Lieut.. Hams, and
most OF the measurements Of which he had
verified himself. The canoe was thirty-two
feet long, seven feet beam and had center
board and heavy dashboard. An ordinary
man, he sand, could not scull boat Of that size
against the tide that sets around the jetty. The
boat was under the control Of witness and when
1t was not used by the government witness son
was allowed to use it to sail in.

pended until $50 tomorrow morning. V.K.

seemed willing to own the man as its witness.
and Mr.. Lipscomb remarked to the defense in
caustic tone: If you're ashamed of him we
are. too.
And you will be ashamed when you have
heard all he has to say"
Senator Voorhees, protested against such a
course. 1t was not fair that the common
wealth be made responsible for every eye
witness to an occurrence. He had practiced
himself in such cases in fifteen different states
usually on the defense. There were reasons
why he was on the other side this time. In
Maryland he had tried to have the common
wealth call all of its own witnesses, but had
failed in this.
Mr.. Wise answered that they wanted the man
called in order to get the truth and not for the
sake of the cross-examination.
Mr.. Lipscomb arose and said he agreed with
everything Mr.. Wise had said. He had little
faith in the witness himself.
1t was finally settled that the court should
summon and examine Smith, each side being
entitled TO cross-e1amination, and Judge Gun
ter was furnished with Smiths written state
ment before the coroner's inquest to guide him
in his examination.
