COMPETITOR CASES.
Senate Committee Moves the Injunction
Of Secrecy from the Testimony
Bearing Upon the Trials.

Washington June 5.-The senate COM
mittee on foreign relations this after
noon moved the Injunction of secrecy
from the testimony in relation to Cuban
affairs of Messrs. Frederick w. Law
renee and Rev. A. J. Diaz.
Lawrence referring to the arrest Of
Alfred Laborde and Milton, who We're
on the Competitor, said that so far as
the testimony Of the men who captured
them, before the court martial, went, 1t
shower that neither of the men had
arms upon their persons. They were
taken to Havana, tried by a court mar
tial against the energetic protest bf the
United States consul general and con-
demned to death, their sentences being
daleyed by the Madrid government at
the request Of Secretary Olney. From
an American point Of view these prison.
ers were not assisted by counsel, but
from a Spanish point Of view they had
counsel. This counsel consisted of a
lieutenant in the navy, who asked no
questions and who cross-eXamined no
witnesses. No witnesses We're produced
but Captain Butron and the other Of
ficers of the Mensajerra which took the
Competitor This lieutenant asked for
clemency for Laborde on account of the
illustrious place his name had borne in
the Spanish navy, and for Milton be-
cause he was not there for the purpose
Of fighting, but merely in his business as
a newspaper correspondent.
When asked if any evidence was Civ
en- at the trial to show how far the Com
petitor was from the shore when cap
tured, Mr.. Lawrence said there was no
evidence given whatever, on any sub
ject. The men were tried about week
after their arrest, and when Consul
General Williams was told by the judge
advocate that the investigation was to
fused to lend any official recognition to
1t, protested against 1t and left.
No officer of the United States consular
service was present at the trial. Neither
the prosecutor nor the counsel for the
defense asked single question of any
body. Not particle of testimony was
offered except that of the Spanish OFF,
GERS. An interpreter was present, but
he did not make his presence known to
the prisoners until they were asked If
they had anything to say in their own
defense. Counsel for the Americans
did not tell them what the statements Of
the Spanish officials contained; he did
not. so far as witness-who was at the
trial throughout-heard, say one word
to the men he was supposed to be de-
Tending. Witness had every reason 70
believe that the counsel could not speak
English and the whole trial was con-
Quoted In Spanish. The men were even
asked IL they had anything to say in the
Spanish language. William Gildea, the
last Of the five men tried together, re-
piled to the interpreter: "All I have
got to say is, 1 do not understand one
word that has been said today for me
or against me. and at any rate appeal
to both the British and American con-
culs." The court made it's finding with
in fifteen minutes after Gildea had
made this statement.

Ways and Means Committee of the
House Reports Adversely.

Washington, d. c., June 5.-Mr. Ding
ley, Of Maine, the chairman of the COM
mittee on ways and means, presented
to the house this afternoon the report
of the majority members of the COM
mittee on the senate bill "to prohibit
the further issuance of interest-bearing
bonds"
The report concludes with the declar-
alton that in the present condition of
the country, with q deficiency of reve-
nue. and distrust prevailing to an alarm
Ing extent, 1t would be a most serious
mistake, not to use a stronger term, to
take away almost the only prop that
now remains for the maintenance at
par Of legal tender demand notes, which
formed SO important a part of the cur
rency Of the United States.
The bill is reported back, therefore,
with recommendation that it do not
pass and this conclusion the thirteen
Republican members Of the committee
indorse.
Two Of the Democratic members of
the committee. Turner, of Georgia, and

recommendation, but without endorsing

GENERAL GREGGs GRAFTON.


Upon the conclusion of the governors
remarks. Brevet Major General David
McGregg, who commanded the Second
cavalry division at Gettysburg. was in
troduced as the orator OF the day. Gem
eral Gregg paid a glowing tribute to the
memory of the dead hero and gave
sketch of his career as follows:
The distinguished soldier whose person
IL so accurately and Grtistically repre-
sented In the statue before us, occupied
such a conspicuous place In the eyes of his
countrymen during the war of the re-
bellion. that in considering his services at
that period it seems appropriate that ref
erence should be made to his earlier ca
reer, that We may better understand in
what manner he was trained for the prop
er discharge of the duties of the high POSI-
tion to which he was subsequently called.
This reference must be both brief and gen.
eral, owing to the limitation as to time
which the occasion enforces.
George Gordon Meade was born Dec. 81,
1915. under the American flag, at Cadiz,
consul at that port. His parents were
citizens of Philadelphia, and his ances-
tors, early settlers In the colony of Penn
sylvania. held prominent places in its So

General Taylor, and participated In the
battles of Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma,
and Monterey, and later was present at
the siege of Vera Cruz by the forces under
General Scott. Following the Mexican war
he was employed at various points on the
Great Lakes and the seaboard, In devising
and constructing such works as fell with
in the sphere Of the Typographical corps.
He had already won an enviable reputa-
tion In his corps. and was recognized as
being an officer Of high intelligence, of
great professional skill, of marked deci-
sion of character, and Of ample resources

Decision In Favor OF the Dc Long Hook
and Eve.

Judge Acheson, in the United States
Circuit Court at Pittsburgh, has just
rendered, in the case of Richardson e.
De Long Brothers VS.. Campbell & Smith,
an important decision of great interest,
sustaining letters patent owned by
Richardson g. De Long Brothers, which
were granted to Frank +. De Long for
bumped hook and eye, and enjoining
the defendantsfr from selling the Golden
Spring" hooks and eyes.
The hooks dealt in by the defendants
were manufactured by the Golden
Spring Hook and Eye Company, of
Springfield, Mass. In these hooks the
positions of the straight and curved
portions of the De Long loop were re-
vCIsed. The Court held that this did
not void infringement, and directed a
decree to be entered for the plaintiffs.
The case, which was test one of
great Importance, was contested at
great length, and has been pending for
almost two years.
Messrs. Richardson & De Long Broth.
ers were represented by Messrs. Straw

Frederick p. Fish, of Boston, and the
defendants by Messrs. Allan Webster

HOME HINTS AND HELPS.

Chicken Cheese.-Two chickens
boiled tender, chopped not too fine, and
seasoned with salt and pepper. Boil

line mold and pour in the chicken:
add the liquor they were boiled in. Slice
cold.-Western Rural.
Baked Afficaroni.-Break quarter
Of a pound of nacaroni into pieces. put
in saucepan cover with water, add
little salt, and set over the fire to boil
until tender. Drain, and put in bak-
ing dish. Spread the top with grated
cheese and bits of butter. Dredge with
salt and pepper. Pour over teacupful
of milk, and set in very hot oven to

A Recipe for Mushrooms.-Procure
them quite young, and peel. Put them
in salt and water, and stir occasionally.
Remove them and let them dry. Then
put them with heaping tablespoonful
of butter in n stew pan. Flavor with
pepper, salt and lemon juice; dredge
with -four and let them simmer little.
Too much cooking makes mushrooms
tough. Beat up the yolks of four eggs,
add gill of cream, and stir both into
the mushrooms. Have slices of toast
ready, and as soon as thoroughly hot,
pour the mushrooms over them anu
serve at once.-Ladies' World.
Crab Croquettes.-In giving little

Potatoes baked in their skins should
have n piece cut off the ends before
baking, in order that the steam may
escape. Prepared in this way they are
light and dry when eaten. When boiled,
they may he prepared in the same way,
and the skin removed just before serv-
ing to each individual. Potatoes are
unquestionably dryer and finer of flavor
when boiled in this way. than when
pared before cooking. The utmost care
is necessary to prevent their being cold
when eaten. as they grow cold rapidly
after skins are removed; and of all
things potatoes should be hot in what
ever form they are served, unless it be
in cold salad. 1t is not regarded in
good form to place boiled potatoes upon
the table in their skins. -Womank:nd.
