Colonel Emile Nunez and Captain
Charles T.. Dickman, on a charge of
having engaged in a Cuban fillbuster-
ing expedition in May last, began in
earnest in the United States Criminal
Court this morning.
District Attorney McFarlane opened
for the prosecution. He insisted upon
the necessity Of preventing expeditions
against the Spanish in Cuba being sent
from this country if the United States
desired to remain at peace with Spain,

verdict of the jury would be important.
When he had concluded Assistant
District Attorney Hinman offered IN
evidence President Cleveland's last
proclamation in connection with the

after reaching Cuba and going 10 Pres
ident Cisnero's camp with the party he

ing allowed to reach Havana by per-
mission Of the Spanish General. The

a letter from Cubans in Boston to sail
on the Laurada-
"And so" said General Tracey. you
got this Letter at your own request
You went to Cuba and you are now here
testifying against the Cubans!
Under redirect examination the wit
ress said he had gone to Cuba with
every intention of acting right by the
Cubans. but they did not act right
by me- and that is the reason l came
home he said. He also testified that
