NO COURT-MARTiAL.

Prisoners Captured the Competitor
Must be Granted Chance to Plead Be
fore IA Civil Tribunal.
New YORK, June 10.-A Washington
special to the Herald says: The eyes
of the administration are now upon
the proceedings of the naval court in
Madrid, which is to consider the case
of the men captured on board the
American filibustering schooner Com
petitor. The arrival of the papers in
the cases of these men at Madrid at
this time was expected by the authori-
ties, and in expectation of their early
consideration the authorities have been
preparing ammunition which could be
used in behalf of the prisoners.
Spain will not be permitted to exc
cute the prisoners. Spain has been
fully informed of this determination
on the part of the United States, and
rather than risk strained relations and
possibly conflict with this nation, the
officials believe that she will grant the
wish of this governmental civil trial
for the men.
The president and Secretary Olney
have been in consultation for some
weeks past, preparing the argument to
be submitted to the court on behalf of
the United States, showing that the
men should, by treaty provisions be-
tween the Spanish government and
that of the United States, receive a
civil trial. The secretary points out
that both the original treaty and the
protocol made special provision for the
class of offenses under which those of
the men come and these provisions re-
quire civil trial. This argument will
be laid before the Spanish government
by Minister Taylor at Madrid and by
it will be submitted, it is expected, to
the Spanish court. In case the Spanish
court is favorable, the men will be
tried by civil court in Havana.

AN ENCOURAGING REPORT.

Red Cross Relief Work In Armenia Has
Worked Wonders In Helping Victims OF
Turkish Greed.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-A letter re-
ceived here from Clara Barton, presi-
dent of the American National Red
Cross, who is now directing field work
in Armenia, shows very encouraging
state of affairs in that country.
Agencies have been esta blished by Miss
Barton in nearly every province, some
of which contain as many as 800 viii
lagos. The women having been fur
nished with material, are hard at work
making garments for distribution,
while the men are building houses and
sheds for their families and cattle.
The distribution of seeds has started
many of the men farming, while large
numbers of mechanics have also been
put to work. Thousands of tools for
farmers and mechanics have been
distributed. Contagious diseases are
being overcome, but a strong force of
physicians will be kept in the field for
emergencies. There is great demand
by the villagers for oxen and as soon
as possible the Red Cross will allow
each village two yokes.

A DESPERATE MEASURE.

Cuban Insurgents Plan to Blow Up the
Havana Gas Works and Cut ON the
Water Supply of the City.
New YORK, June 1O.-The Suns Ha-
vana correspondent says: 1t is rumored
that the insurgents intend to blow up
the gas works and cut off the water
supply of this city. This rumor has
caused considerable excitement here
because it is known that the insur-
gents have accomplished everything
they have said they would do. There
is but one gas company, so that if the
gas plant is blown up the people will
be compelled to rely on kerosene for
illumination. The source of the water
supply is from springs that formerly
ran into the Vento river about 13 miles
from this city.
The present waterworks were con-
structed by the Spanish authorities
and were completed in 1898 1t took
about 90 years to construct the works
and cost the people $40, 200, 900.
Gen. Maceo has issued proclama-
ton declaring that all soldiers in the
Spanish army who will come over to
him with their arms and ammunition

is said that this proclamation was one
of the causes of the desertion of Span
ish troops along the trocha.
A Matanzas correspondent reports
that an expedition of Cuban filibusters
numbering 100 men and carrying 800
rifles disembarked on Sunday at Ca

as always having been on the right size
of the money question, and as never
having been led astray by cheap money
propaganda at any time. A German
business man, cashier in a large bank in
Chicago, who has a wide acquaintance
with the small bankers and merchants
throughout the west, tells me that he
has had occasion to hear expressions
from his German countrymen for years
past on the question of a monetary
standard, and that he has never yet
found one who was not in favor of the
gold standard and opposed to the free
coinage of silver.
His opinion is that the German citi-
zens of Illinois are unanimously opposed
to any impairment of the present gold
standard.
1t is fact, universally known, that
the soundmoney victory in Ohio in the
gubernatorial campaign of 1875, in
which rutherford b. Hayes ran on a
republican hard money platform
against William Allen on democratic
paper money initiation platform, was
due to the firm stand taken by the Ger
mans, who, disregarding party lines,
turned the scale in the election in favor
of honest money. This fact was con-
ceded at the time by the republican
press of the state, and the democratic
candidate voiced the sentiments of his
party leaders when he gave utterance to
his lacerated feelings after the election
by eXclaiming: "The Dutch are ID
unreliable" The German voters arc
certainly not to be relied upon when
they are asked TO prostitute the coun-
try's financial honor at their party S
bidding. In the state of Wisconsin the
Germans have taken the same united
stand in favor of sound money, and the
same may be said of Michigan, Iowa and
Minnesota.
The entire German newspaper press
in this country, with few exceptions, Is
emphatically for sound money, as 1t has
been in the past, and can be depended
upon to pronounce in favor of the main
.tenance of the present standard ofvalue
and for the parity that represents this
principle, regardless of previous party
affiliations. Several important German
democratic papers in the western states
have already threatened to Dolt theli
ticket if free silver plank should be
adopted. AS an indication of the gen
eral sentiment of the German press
refer to the position taken by the largest
and oldest German newspaper in the
south, the Democrat, of Louisville, il
the last state election in Kentucky. AL
though always democratic up to thai
time, this paper bolted the democratic
free silver candidate and urged the elec
tion of the republican sound money can
didate for governor.
The Importance of the German vote
will be apparent when the numerical
strength of the eGerman-American popu
lation in the pivotal states is consid
cred. The returns of the census of 1885,
show that the state of New York theI
contained 972,6O3 German-Americans
Ohio, 541 ,407; Illinois, 600,5ss; Penn
.sylvania, 472,423; Michigan, 276,25s
Wisconsin, ,s34; Minnesota, 2i4 ,634
Iowa, 269,603; and Missouri, 297,095.
Whatever may be the decision of tn
national conventions on the money ques
tion, this issue will be fairly, squared,
and most thoroughly placed before tn

WALLlNG'S DEFENSE.
Lot of Testimony Favorable to the Man
on Trial Is Given.


NEWPORT, KY, June 1o.-When the
Walling trial was resumed Tuesday
the prosecution asked to have Walling
recalled and the court refused, saying
that the state was through with the
witness. The state excepted to this
ruling. The defense then introduced
David Locke, ex-chief of police of New
port, who was among the first on the
scene of the murder. Locke said what
he had first thought was blood upon
the bushes he afterwards found to be
rust stains, natural to the plant. He
described the tracks at the place. Wal
ling's shoes could not have made the
tracks.
A number of dispositions of Green
field Qnd.) people and several from
officials of Indiana dental college at
Indianapolis were read and show that
Walling bore a good character at those
places.
DR.. Way, of the Cincinnati dental
college, said that Walling was at the
college Thursday and Saturday even
ings, but not on Friday, the night of
the murder He was not required to
be present on Friday.
Dr. Landy, OF Cincinnati, testified as
to the retraction of the muscles about
the neck. He had taken interest in
the subject on account of the discus
sion in Jackson's trial and made sew
eral experiments ON bodies soon after
death. These went to convince him
that the decapitation of Pearl Bryan
was made when the muscles were be-
ginning to lose their rigidity after
death. The witness said that it was a
tedious task to cut off human head
in the darkness unless the head was
hacked off. The witness said he had
killed sheep to determine how far
blood would squirt when the head was
cut off with a sharp knife. When he
beheaded the animal the doctor stood
on sheet of paper six feet square to
show how far the blood would squirt.
The witness unrolled the sheet of
paper. 1t was covered with blood.
Blood from person beheaded alive
would spurt ten feet.

They -Arc Almost Unanimous for Sound
Money.
Mr.. Gustav ii. Schwab is president of
the German society of New York city
and is therefore in touch with Germans
and COMMUNICATIONS in this country.
Being also prominent business man,
he is familiar with the views of Ger
mans on the financial question:. In an
interview on May ii he said:
am, convinced from my knowledge
of my German-American fellow citi-
zens and their ways of thinking that
the vast majority of them in the coming
political contest will entirely disregard
party ties and will vote for that party
which declares for the maintenance, be-
yond possibility of doubt, of the gold
standard of value, and that they will
not give their suffrage to any candidate
who may be suspected of leaning to-
ward free silver coinage or toward any
compromise with the silver people.
They consider that the paramount
question before the country at present is
the integrity of our monetary system,
and their votes will go to that party
which they believe will uphold the
country's financial honor, regardless of
what their views may be on other polit-
ical questions. Previous experience has
shown that German voters on questions
relating to or affecting the standard OF
value have always stood for common
honesty, and that they have uniformly
opposed all forms of financial heresy.

The People Who Buy Things.

There is one class of people in the
United States which is specially inter-
csted in the agitation for free silver,
with it's openly avowed purpose of rails
ing prices twice as high as they are
now. This is the consuming class, COM
posed of all the people who buy things.
To them the most important question in
regard to the currency is: will our
money buy few or many things? We
now have an industrial and commercial
system in which wages are paid and
products bought and sold with n cur
rcncy which rests on a gold standard
and has a high purchasing power. II
we were to adopt the silver standard
our money would buy only half the
quantity of goods that it does now
How would that help us, the 70,OO0,0oC
American consumers?"
Free-coinage politicians who are try
ing to gain votes by setting one class OF
citizens against another would do well
to remember that the largest class il
this country is that of the people who
buy goods. When they can show those
people that it is to their interest to pay
| higher prices for what they consume
they may have some show of success
Until then their scheme is doomed te
| failure.
The free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer is the greatest political swindle oi
the century, for it gives to the wealthy
the power to double their wealth ano
leaves to the poor man nothing but sill
yer dollars really worth only so cents
each.-Bucyrus Journal

Must Consider the German Vote.

1t may be in this crisis that the Ger
mans will play a specially important
role. In the east they are altogether
sound upon the silver question, and in
the west the preponderance of German
sentiment is sound. If the conventions
perceive that they will have to reckon
with the German vote the influence of
that vote will not be lost,-New Yorker

California Must REMAIN Gold State.

California was gold state when it
was admitted and has remained gold
state since. None of its debtors has
anything to gain by radical change of
standard, not even the banks, which,
under silver standard, would be able
to pay all depositors so cents on the dol
lar. The arrangement of business and
temporary destruction of credit that
would result from such n change would
probably break most of the banks In
California, including perfectly solvent
institutions.-Los Angeles Herald.
