COMPETITOR COURT-MARTIAL
A Correspondents Story That Was Sup
pressed by Weyler.
Deliberate Defiance of the United
States-Regarded by Foreign Con-
suls as Insulting 10 This Country.

The following dispatch from James Creel-
man, the New York World correspondent.
was seized at Havana and suppressed by
order of Captain General Weyier:
HAVANA. May 9.-It is scarcely posi-
Bile to imagine a more deliberate defiance
Of the United States than the so-called
trial of the five prisoners captured on the
American schooner Competitor. before a
summary naval court-martial yesterday.
The court simply spat upon the treaty
and the solemn protests of Consul Cen
eral Williams were read to the judges
by the judicial secretary with a sneer
If the two Americans-Laborde and Mil
ton-and the Observation-Disclosures shot
1t will be murder / saw the poor wretches
In their filthy iron cage at the naval
arsenal yesterday, and marked the fierce
delight of the Spanish officers as they
pointed out the three victims in whose be-
half the American government had raised
its voice in vain.
Laborde showed me the bloody rings on
his wrists made by Lieutenant Butron
commander of the naval launch Mensa jera
when he tortured the helpless prisoner

the way for their death had been permitted
to see them.
The lieutenant named by them proved to
be about twenty-five years old. He called
upon them and talked to each prisoner for
about five minutes, urging them to make q
clean breast Of II.
A few hours before the hurried court
martial opened, the government sent a
surly reply to Consul General Williams
protest. saying that the prisoners were no;
covered by the treaty with the United
States as they were not residents of Spanish
territory.
The gross falsehood of this statement cen
be seen by a glance at the treaty and the
protocol of January, 1877. That part of the
treaty, which guarantees the rights of
Spanish subjects. distinctly mentions those
resident or being in American territory
The same provision, of course applies to
American citizens being in Spanish terri
tory.
All day long / have heard nothing but
Spanish jokes about the United States and
its protests. Even in the captain generals
palace. the fate of the prisoners has been
the constant subject of savage jests
The consuls of European countries, to
whom l have talked, denounce the trial as
deliberate insult to the United States
You can send this message to the people
of the United States" said Laborde to me
as he chung to the bars of his cage Il
have been outraged and tortured NV
country has been unable to protect me in
my rights. If we are shot, we will die in
nocent of any crime and without trial"

The \ Rays Are Not Sound Waves, But
Again They May BE.
From the Boston Transcript.
The Electrical Potential, a club of Boston
electricians. held its annual meeting a few
the X rays by Prof Elihu Thomson, who
performed several experiments in the new
photography and illustrated what had been
done by others by means of stereopticon
views. In the course of his remarks Prof
Thomson said he did not believe the new
ray was sound wave, neither did he be-
lieve that it had any curative effect on dis
ease. He ridiculed the idea that 1t would
ever be possible to photograph the brain by
this process.
On the other hand. says the same journal,
George Newcomb of Salem, who has been
diligently studying the cathode rays of late,
ments showing that the waves involved are
not of light. but rather Of sound or heat
He says he and a friend, who hit upon the
same idea about the same time, took piece
of steel four feet long. five-eighths Of an
inch wide and one-tenth of an inch thick.
and with their device succeeded in burning
the fingers of the person who touched the
piece OF steel. If a person took hold of the
extreme end Of the bar and felt a tingfing
in the fingers he would be Immediately re-
lieved If another person took hold of the
bar anywhere in the middle Indicating that
interruption of the sound waves took up
the heat and left the balance of the bar
cold. They took another piece of steel
fourteen inches in length and about the
thickness of the first piece, and to one end
OF 1t attached their mechanism. The other
end they touched to pine board and in
stantly the pine began to smolder and
soon to burn. The steel showed no sign of
having been heated.

to make him confess that he was Munzon,
the insurgent leader, who had really escap-
ed to the shore.
The conduct of the government in this
case has been marked by extreme hatred
toward the prisoners. Its attitude toward
the United States is one of undisguisel
contempt and bitterness. Consul General
Williams urgent letter, asking for in
formation and asserting the guarantees Of
the treaty, remained unanswered for ten
days.
Meanwhile the prisoners were not al
lowed to communicate with any one. La
horde has managed to smuggle letter to
Consul General Williams. asking him to
come to the prison. But the prisoners were
shut off from all help or advice.
The so-called trial began at 8 O'Clock
yesterday morning. Night before last a
Spanish officer went to the prisoners with
a list of six Spanish naval lieuterants.
" GU must choose one of these lieuten-
ants to represent you at the trial. which
begins tomorrow morning" he said. You
have six hours in which to choose, and If
you fail to select a name in that time you
will not be permitted to have representa-
tive at ALL
The prisoners protested against this
brutal and unjust proposition. They asked
for lawyer. To be represented by one Of
their sworn enemies meant certain death.
They also protested against being forced to
make statements to a military officer rep
resenting the court-martial - statements
which were cunningly garbled and falsified.
But finally they selected the first named
On the list. The lieutenant sent word that
he was sick. The real fact was that he did
not care to represent an American even
nominally. Then they selected the second
name

been deliberately ignored, and neither the

son except the officers who were preparing
