EIGHT YEARS AND A DAY.
Sanguilly Found Guilty by n Civil Court
in Havana

: Havana, Dee. 26.-Torday the reunited
tribunal which judged the proceedings
against Julio Sanguilly, a naturalized
American citizen, charged with con
spiracy against the Spanish government,
met for the first time after an adjourn
ment for the Christmas holidays The
judges decided that Sanguilly was guilty
Of II modified qualification Of the crime
of which he was accused and sentenced
him to eight years and one day imprisonr
ment. The sentence will be published
next Monday.
Julio SanguIlly was arrested with thirty
others, including many members of well
known families Of Havana, and confined
to MORO castle. An attempt was made
to try him by court-martial, but through
he efforts Of Consul-Gqneral Ramon o.
Williams, Sanguilly's American citizen
ship was established and he was given a
civil trial. The prosecution attempted
to prove that Sanguilly was the head Of
local conspiracy and the chief resident
lnstEgator of the insurgent movement and
that he had been especially appointed by
Jose Marti, to assume command OF the
forces Of Matanzas and Santa Clara,
which were expected to rise in arms
against Spain.
The chief evidence produced at the first
trail was in the shape of a document al
legged to have been signed by Sanguilly,
the text Of which, according to an expert
to the damaged condition Of the
paper Sanguilly, however, was
found guilty on December End
and sentenced to life imprisonment at
hard labor in the mines of Seuta, Africa.

court at Madrid. The grounds upon
which the United States government in
tervened in his behalf were that his trial
by military tribunal did not accord
with the terms Of the Spanish
treaty and he was granted a new trial
by the Supreme court. There were five
Judges on the bench and Vice Consul
General Springer, who acted as Consul
General during the absence of General
Eitzhugh Lee, was assigned to a special
seat near the justices. 1t in extremely
probably that another appeal will be
made to the higher courts, the defense
during the proceedings having urged that
the tribunal was illegally constituted.
since judges should have presided and not
five. The attorney for the defense dis
puted the COMPETENCY of the court to hear
and decide the case, claiming that the
prisoner was entitled to a trial by six
judges, according to law prevailing In
1921, when the Spanish-American pro-
tocol was drawn.
The defendants counsel insisted that
the prisoner could not be legally tried
under the law Of 1877. He made motion
to this effect, but it was overruled. The
defendants attorney then announced
that the defence would later protest
against this decision.

FRANCE And GERAANEY
Says Senator Hoar Will Coin in

With Tewa Object Lessions--McKin-
ley to Name the American

Washington, Dec. 2e,-It is the expecta-
tlon OF the friends Of the movement for
an international monetary conference
that the question will be taken up in the
Senate soon after the holidays though 1T
may be considered first in Republican
caucus.
4he committee appointed by the caucus
ta draft a measure has had the matter
under consideration and Senator Wool.
colt, who is chairman Of the caucus COM
m4ttee, has prepared the draft Of a bill,
witch If it is not accepted as a whole
probably will be used as the basis Of
whatever action is agreed upon.
The tendency among the members Of
the committee is to leave she election Of
the couferees entirely to the Presidnt
and thus depart from the precedent es-
tablished in the Fifty~third Congress-
when provision was made for the reDre-
sentation of this country at a conference
then proposed by dividing the selection
OF the conferees between the President
and Congress. 1t is proposed also to
leave the number OF members to the dis
cretdon Of the President, depending upon
the action og other countries on this
point. An appropriation will be provided
for carrying the at j ito effec 1t s not vet
definitely determined how far the pro-
posed legislation Will go in providing
for this c0untry's taking the iniative in
securing the conference, but the proba-
talitles are that this viii be left to the
discretion and inclination OF the Presi-
dent. The bill is being prepared for the
purpose of providing the means for car
rying the Republican platform on this
subject into effect and the members OF the
committee generally hold that Mr.. Nc
kinney will require only the means to
proceed with to cause him to use his
utmost endeavors to secure an i1terna.
tonal agreement
The committee has been considerably
encouraged over the reports received as
to the probabilities of the success OF
securing conference and of its success
when once secured. Senator Hoar, who
is member of the committee has given
the other members much valuable in
formation collected by himself while in
Europe last summer. He has told them
that France was agressively in favor of
an international understanding and that
the sentiment in Germany was very IA
yorable, but that the emperor was the
stumbling block in that country. He has
also expressed the opinion that England
would be found much more tractable
on the question than popularity consider
ed, and has suggested that little pres
sure Of business character might by
brought to bear with good effect on Eng
land, going so far as to say that the pay
ment of some of the debts owed in this
country to England in silver might bring
the English people to a speedy realiza-
tiOn OF the Importance of an agreement
on the subject and prove a valuable OBJ
ject lesson.

THE INSPECTORS AT FAULT.
And Inferior Steel Plates Have Crept
Into Our BattIeships.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Secretary Her
bert to-day took up for consideration the
report of the special board which in
yestigated the complaints from the New
port News constructors that steel Of in
ferior quality had ben supplied by the
Carnegie works for the battleships Ken
lucky and Kearsage. The report is d
copious statement Of the facts disclosed
by the many tests made by the board
and the defective plates are fully identi-
fed. The inquiry has demonstrated that
the present system Of inspection is in
effective and plates are shown to have
reached the ship yards that were never
inspecked at all; at least they bore none
of the inspectors marks, The board has
not yet examined thea plates for the
battleship Illinois, but as far as it has
gone the inquiry has revealed the neces-
sity for a radical change in the method
of inspection and Secretary Herbert will
probably substitute expert civilian in
sDectors for the inexperienced naval
officers now employed, acting under a
special board composed of a constructor,
an engineer and one line officer, for the
present steel board made up Of line
officers.

THE SOUTH IS HONEST.
But Few Delegations Win Ask for
Greater Tariff Tax Burdens.

Washington, Dec. 26.-Among the
many delegations from every part of the
country which will appear before the
Ways and Means committee in the tariff
hearings which begin Monday next there
will be compa ratively few from the South
1t Is said, unless the Southern men
interested change their minds within the
next few days. The largest and most
important delegations from the South
will be here next Wednesday when sched-
ule "E, sugar and molasses, comes up
for hearings. The committee has been
notified that numerous sugar men desire
TO be heard on this schedule
Next Monday, the day fixed for hear
ings on spirits, wines and other bever-
ages, the expectation was that there
would be a good many southern men in
the number present, but the committee
50 far has heard from few fruit growers
in that section. The development Of
grape growing and wine making in the
South has been wonderful in the past
few years it is said. The extensive wine
makers in that part of the country are
therefore in favor of protection.
Next Tuesday the cotton manufac-
turers will be heard. II they are not
represented next Tuesday in large num-
bers it will be, it is thought, because
they will be satisfied with the same tar
iff schedule as the cotton mill men of the
East. Many Southern mills are par
tally owned by Northern capitalists and
in nearly all of the mills there is a GER
tain percentage of Northern capital. The
Southern men feel, it is said, that they
will be satisfied with whatever schedule
will slfit the manufacturers in other parts
of the country.
The tobacco men OF the South will be
fairly wen represented in the hearings
on that line on Monday, january 4. A
whole day has been set apart for the to-
Racco manufacturers and they will have
an opportunity to fully present their side.
One other day when the South will be
interested win be when sched-
ule "C' comes up. This is for iron, lead. |
ores, etc, and is fixed for Saturday, Jan |
uary 8.
There will probably be some lumber |
men here from the South when the hear
lngs ON lumber comes up Thursday, |
December 81 has been fixed for this.
