DURRANT.s TRIAL.
Full of Sensational Features-Seeretary of
Y.M. c.. a. Fined $3.50 for a Thought
less Remark

San Francisco, October 3-The Durrant
trial has developed two interesting Incl
dents. When the jurors were dism issed
for the noon recess Henry J. Mccoy,
secretary of the YIN. CA. was called be-
fore the bar to explain his little joke. He
had remarked to Juror I. Truman, whom
he has known intimately for years: eff
you don't hang that fellow, We'll hang
you" This was in street car. The re-
mark was overheard by Superior Judge
Sanderson, who reported it to Judge
Murphy.
Tho humorous secretary was very un-
easy when he was asked to explain. He
said he had spoken thoughtlessly because
Mr.. Truman was an old friend of his,
and he had no intention whatever of in
fluencing him. He regretted the remark
almost as soon as he had spoken, realiz
ing Immediately that it was out of place.
Mr. Truman said he took the remark
in the spirit in which it was made, and
would never have thought of it again if
the court had not called it to his mind
Judge Murphy scored the secretary for
his thoughtlessness. He could see no ex-
tenuating circumstances in the case, and
he staggered the secretary by f1ning him
$3.50. with an alternative of five days in
Jail.

attorney. he asked for stay of Judgment
until Saturday. 1t was granted
The other incident Of the day was an
other case of contempt. Miss Carrie

AMERICAN SEA CAPTAIN
Gives His Ideas of Cuban Rebels and
Spain's Soldiers.

franklin Mass, October A captain
of an American merchant vessel just re-
turned from Cuba, says an active force OF
rebels in the Santa Cruz section numbers
about IL, 600 men. The only thing allowed
to be brought into town from the
country, is milk, which is allowed on
account Of children New soldiers are be-
ing sent to the island from Spain nearly
all from sixteen to ninteen years old.
Desertions to the rebels forces are
frequent. Spanish soldiers are regarded
as little better than dogs, and treated
about the same With their small pay
they have little inducement to remain
under the Spanish yoke. The Captain
says the report that the Cuban leaders
are nearly all negroes is not correct. With
two or three exceptions, they are Cubans.
The two classes mix in business and the
division line is hard to find One day
while the Captains vessel was in
the harbOr about eighty rebels
approached within two hundred yards of
the town and fired volley, which
harmed no one. They dared the Spanish
troops to come out to battle, but the
Spaniards although lore than twenty to
one, remained inactive. 1t was explained
that if they went out the rebels would re-
treat into the bush, where they would
have all the advantage. Such is their
method of warfare generally. One serious
trouble with Campos is that little
dependence can be placed in the officers
under him. Many of them have more
sympathy for the Cubans than for. the
success Of Spain. So the plans of the
commander often miscarry on that
account The rebels find plenty to eat,
and the Captain thinks that the struggle
will be long, as the Cubans, with their
plans Of fighting in the bush, can prolong
the struggle for years if they are ever
conquered

THINGS POLITICAL.
Mr.. Reeds Presidential Prominence
In The Air.
JOE MANLEY ANNOUNCED A CON-
GRESSIONAL CANDIDATE.

National Committeeman Crane OF MaSsa-
chusetts Talks of Reed-They Say
IanIey viii Try to Succeed Milliken in
Congress-The Governor Appoints a
Sheriff of Penobscot.
Boston, October AIN conversation
with a reporter, Hon. w. Murray Crane
of Dalton, member Of the National
Republican Committee, expressed great
confidence in the prospects of Hon.
Thomas B. Reed at the Republican
National convention in 1896. Mr.. Crane
took it for granted to begin with, that
Mr. Reed would have solid New Eng
land delegation behind him, for he did
not think that even the Tenth Massa-
ohusetts congressional district would,
under the circumstances, send Mckinley
delegate, withstanding the scomm unity
existing between Mr.. Atwood
General Osborne.
Mr.. Crane did not think that Mckinley
could be nominated, and whether Harri-
son was out of the fight or nOt-a question
which nobody could answer at the present
time-it was certain he would not allow
Mckinley to get the nomination II he
could prevent it. He is not likely to for
get McKinley's course at Minneapolis in
1892, when the latter was clearly working
for himself when he had been counted on
for Harrison The laeding aspirants for
the presidency were, in Mr.. Cranes
opinion, Allison and Reed. The former
was gathering considerable strength in
the West but Reed was attaining to
prominence throughout the country.
In addition to New England, he was
likely to get New York and Pennsyl-
vania, and several of the Southern states.
He was also particularly strong on the
Pacific coast and throughout the West.
In short, said Mr.. Crane, Reeds canvass
has so favorable an outlook that it is, as
have said, dangerous. That is to say,
at this stage of the contest, it is some
times dangerous for a candidates.
prospects to be in too prosperous condi-
tion.
Mr.. Crane said Chicago is the proper
place for the convention. He had no
doubt, however, in case Mr.. Quay in
sisted, considering his present
prominence and power in the party, that
the convention would go to Pittsburg.

Man-Wounds Dressed at the Hospital.
An aggravated assault was committed
in this city last night somewhere On
Munjoy Hill in the vicinity of Congress
and North streets.
Exact particulars of the affair could
be learned by the PRESS as the police
department efused to give any informa-
tiop in regard to the matter. AS . curate-
" as can be learned from different sour
ces, the circumstances were as follows
The injured man is named Morey and
he resides on the easterly end of Con-
gress street. 1t is said he had dispute
with an out of town man in regard to the
ownership of key or something OF that
nature and the men came to blows. The
man seized hatchet and struck Morey
a terrible blow with it, telling him to
the ground The assailant then escaped.
Morey was picked up and carried to
Fowler's drug store where he was made
as com Portable as possible, and DR.. Dana
summoned He ordered Morey removed
to the Maine General Hospital.
Inquiry at, the hospital at O'Clock
this morning elected the information
that Morey was doing well, and although
his woands were very painful they were
not considered dangerous. Morey's as
sailant had not been captured up to 4
O'Clock this morning, but his name is
known to the police. Had the hlow
