No doubt the Cubans who have been on
trial at Wilmington we're guilty Of
unlawful acts but it was evident very
early In the trial that they would not be
convicted And this was not merely
because public sympathy is on tho
Cuban side, but because, ia the face OF
such sympathy, very clear and complete
evidence must be required 60 establish
the statutory oiiense, and Senator Gray
conducted the defense on such broad
lines Of Americsn liberty, and in this
was so we'll sustained by the court, that
he practically destroyed the prosecution,
and the verdict was virtually settled long
before the case was given to the jury.
This result whereby popular sympathy
Is gratihed without violence to auY
sense Of justice or Of law, Is really a
great triumph fer the Delaware senator,
whose rare combination of the qualities
OF "a oool-headed International lawyer
and of an earnest and dignifed
American patriot has already been OF
great service TO the country in moro
important fields. He appeared In this
tIial, Of course. as private counsel aud
not as a senator but his conduct Of the
case covered so wide a range of political
principle that 10 is difficult to dlssociate

GUATEMALAN LAWS.
They Are Liberal, SO ms to Stimulate
Immigration

They Are Liberal, SO ms to Stimulate
Immigration.
The Guatemalan minister, Mr.. Lazo Ar
riaga, referring today to recent publica-
tons regarding his country. said:
"our immigration laws are liberal, but
they are hardly SO, liberal as has been
stated. Guatemala Welcomes immigration.
particularly from the United States and
Europe. What VIC especially desire is an
increase in our agraraen population. Guate-
mala contains some of the richest and most
fertile farming lands on the American con-
tinent. 1t is well adapted to the raising Of
coffee, sugar and cereals. Our production
of flour is not sufficient for home consump-
ton. and we are compelled to import large
quantities from lthe, United, States and
other countries. The coffee industry Is
very profitable The-actual crop Is caicu-
lated at 10000 geo sHoaads. all of. which. ex-
ready market abroad" 'sS'-
ASIDE from these material advantages,
what inducement does your government
offer to immigfants?'ir Mr.. ,Arriaga was
asked. aa- Il, - g.,
'Our laws, as I have said, were made
with a view Of stimulating immigration,
and are very liberal. I cannot speak as in
telligently concerning these laws as would
wish, inasmuch as the congress which is
now in session may modify them in many
slant, and will not adjourn for two months
If 1T makes the changes anticipated, shall
be fully advised, and they will at once be
given to the American public. I can only
say in general way that all persons de-
string to locate in Guatemala, who have
been previously authorized by the govern
ment's agents. are furnished transportation
at half rates on the Pacific mail line Of
steamers from San Francisco and Panama
It is purposed also to establish new line
of steamers between New York and Puerto
Barrios, on our Atlantic coast. This line
will be subsidized by the Guatemalan gov
eminent. 1 hope It will be in operation
within sixty or ninety days. The trips will
be made semi-monthly, and probably
oftener.- On these steamers passengers
will be carried at less than one-half the
regular fare. The establishment of this
lire is the result Of our increasing trade
with the United States and in pursuance
of our new immigration laws, which have
every reason to believe, and which you will
see from what I have already stated, will
be most liberal.
1.-The free list of our tariff contains not
only many of the necessaries of life but
agricultural implements and other ma
chinery required in the raising Of farm
products"
