RIGHTS TO BE RESPECTED.
New Trial of the Americans Who
Went on the Competitor.


A Havana dispatch says: The supreme
court of war and marine has ordered the
preparation of new cases against the crew
of the American schooner Competitor, who
will now be tried before an ordinary ma
rine court-martial. The preliminary steps
have already been taken. Laborde, the
commander of the schooner, and Melton
the American newspaper correspondent,
will be tried in accordance with the pro-
visions of the treaty of 1921.
Although the State Department officials
decline to n axe public any information re-
spccting adviCeS received relative to the
procedure in the trial of the Competitor
prisoners at Havana, now in progress, It
can be stated that SO far as the two Amer
lean prisoners, Laborde and Melton, are
concerned, they will enjoy all of the priv
ileges accorded to the Gushing protocol
This means that they will be allowed to
name attorneys and advocates, who will
have access to them at suitable times; that
they will be furnished in due season with
copies of the accusation and a list of wit
ne SSeS for the prosecution, which latter will
be examined before the supposed criminal,
his attorney and advocate; that they will
have the right to compel the attendance of
witnesses in their behalf or use dispositions;
that they may present such evidence as
they deem essential to their case and that
they will be permitted to be present and to
make their defense in public trial. orally or
in writing, by themselves or by means of
their counsel.
Whether or not they will be tried before
the civil courts or a court-martial depends
uron whether they We're captured with
arms in hand. In the latter case the proto-
col permits a court-martial. but even in
such case the proceedings will be vastly
different from those under which the prs-
oTe:C were so summarily convicted and
sentenced to death by the first naval court
marital. without opportunity to choose their
own counsel, or even altogether under
stand the evidence given against them in
Spanish.

LONDON, October 21-TheTe is gen.
eral belief here that the directors Of the
Bank of England at their regular weekly
meeting tomorrow will raise the discount
rate from 8 to per cent.
The newspapers agree in stating that
the flow of gold to America must be stop
ped.
The st. James Gazette says:
According to exchange exports. even
the presen. rate does not allow a margin
of profit to shippers, SO that a premium
on gold is evidently paid in New York
by those who are so nervous in regard
to the political situation to insist upon
boarding gold. This is striking COM
ment on the cockSurenesS OF the republi-
cans anent the defeat of Bryan. 1t is
also obvious that the very rapid advaLce
in wheat adds considerably to the power
of the Americans to draw on the Euro
pean gold supply. and unless the directors
of the bank are prepared to allow the
reserve to suffer further large dminu-
ton a rise in the rate tomorrow may be
counted upon as certain. So far as we
serve tomorrow will he f2!30O,WD. and

tions of millionaire republicans or from
natural causes, the event cuts the ground
