terday.


terday.
Richmond, Va, July 6.-The cor.
nerstone of the monument to be erected
IN Monroe Park to the memory of jeff.
erson Davis was laid this afternoon
with ceremonies which were impressive
and pathetic. Under a bright, sunny
sky, through densely packed streets and
with the applause of countless thou
sands to cheer them on, the followers
of the lost cause marched today through
the city which is dearer to the old Con.
federates than any in the land. Two
hundred children, boys and girls, wear
ing white and red sashes, followed the
police, who cleared the way and led
the procession. Mrs. Jefferson Daivs
was in an open carriage, and bowed
and smiled as cheers greeted her on
every side.
The sponsors and maids Of honor,
chosen for their beauty from all the
Southern states, rode in carriages
following that of Mrs. Davis. North
Carolina was the first state to exhibit
a tattered battle-hag, and as it flutter.
ed in the breeze it was greeted with
great cheering. The veterans made
the pathetic feature of the parade.
Nearly all are old and for the most
part weak and feeble, but, summoning
their remaining strength, they marched
with pride and pleasure. A large
number of them carried sticks for sup.
port, and many were compelled to use
umbrellas in order to Withstand the
rays of the sun.

to men in several states describing in
extravagant terms mining lands which
she claimed to own. In many instances

Consul Lee Makes Inquiries Into the
Matter.
Havana, July 6.-In response to
Consul General Lees formal inquiries
as to the status of Julio Sanguilly's
case, Captain. General Weyler off,
cially stated that the affair was now
beyond his jurisdiction, and wholly
in the hands Of the civil courts. When
Sanguilly was tried in December last,
certain exceptions to the proceedings
were noted by his counsel. Then Con-
sui. General Williams objected to the
fact that his sentence was based on the
original testimony taken at the court
martial. These exceptions have gone
to the supreme court of Madrid for
consideration, where the eminent
Spanish statesman and jurist Senior
Saloneron is acting counsel for the
prisoner.
Sanguilly himself remains in Cabanas
castle here, pending a final verdict.
He occupies the most luxurious quar-
ters in the castle, and the Spanish
officials treat him with great considera.
tion. His wife and most intimate
Cuban friends are allowed to visit him
whenever they desire and he receives
his meals from noted Havana restau-
rant. He has, in fact, every comfort
possible under the circumstances.

aster. The inspectors are asked to re.
port in writing to the governor what
in their opinion was the cause of the
accident, whether any precaution was
ommitted which would have tended to
prevent it, and what legislation would
in their judgment secure the miners of
the state immunity from risks of this
class,
