HAVANA. March 25. Another terri
BILE mistake, attended with loss of life
and resulting in many soldiers being
wounded, has taken place. In some
manner unexplained two columns of
Spanish troops opened fire upon each
,other at midday. According to the
few details received here, the col
rumns of troops commanded by
Gen. Godoy and Col. Holguin,
at the Santa Rosa plantation,
near Esperanza, province of Santa
Clara, mutually mistook each other
for'fnsurgent forces, owing, it is said,
to the thickness of the sugar cane.
Zach detachment opened fire upon the
other and for ten minutes shots were
exchanged, resulting in the killing of
1t soldiers, among them being Lieut.
Col. Fuenmaver of the Navas battal-
ion. In addition five officers and 81
soldiers were wounded

THE wEArHERHOLZ TRIAL.
Third Days Proceed dings-Identify-
ing the Gun.

WOODSTOCK. VA. August 15-(Spe-
cial.)-The third day Of the trial OF Elmer
A. Weatherholtz for the murder OF his
wife brought even a larger crowd to the
courthouse than the two previous days.
The first witness Of the day was Benja-
min Coffman, brother-in-law, Of the ac-
rused who owned the gun that the
shooting was supposed to have been done
with. He would not identify the gun on
the stand. but several witnesses were in
troduced who knew the gun to be his
and its ownership was traced back seve-
raj wears. The evidence showed that the
Gum found In the barn where the
shooting took place was the one the
prisoner borrowed the day prior to the
murder. A large number Of witnesses
testified as 10 threats made by the ac-
cused against the life of his wife and
his father and a neighbor named VIII
liams. Two testified TO seeing him on
the evening of the shooting. and that he
said he had killed his wife and that he
intended 10 kill his father and Williams
vet and then he did not care what be-
came of him.
The court is making great headway
The sessions have only been interrupted
once, and that On account Of a sick
juror.
Weatherholtz has taken more interest
In his trial to-day than al any former
tine. Several times he has prompted his
attorneys. IL IS easily seen that the
sympathy OF the crowd is almost q unit
against him. The case Will occupy the at
tention Of the court for at least three
or four days more.
