The trial of Julio Sanguilly, the Ameri-
can citizen, who was arrested in Febru-
airy last, on the charge of being an active
agitator in the Cuban revolution, began
to-day. 1t was stated that evidence would
be produced proving that Sanguilly made
appointment of delegates to the revoiu-
tionary committee in New York and that
among his appointments was that of Jose
Ynccencio Azcuy. The public prosecutor,
Federico EJuto, in presenting the case to
the court, declared that the conduct Of
the accused had been criminal and de-
manded that he be sentenced to imprls-
onment at hard labor for life, with such
other punishment as the court may deem
Miquil vandondi, the counsel for the
prisoner, denied all the contentious ad-
Vanced by the public prosecutor, and de-
manded that he be released under the
provisions of the proclamation issued by
the then captain general, Calleja, in Fen
ruary last.
SanguilIy denied that he was the au-
thor of the document which named Azcuy
as a colonel in the rebel army. He also
denied that he took any part in the re-
bellion and that he had been in the United
States since 1878, but, nevertheless, claims
to have been an American citizen since
1889.
The argument for the defendant will
close tomorrow.

Wiborg and several men, asking them the
direction taken by the steamer after leav-
