The Competitor Prisoners.

Recent mail advices to the State Depart
ment and the Spanish legation confirm the
telesraph.c report published in The Star
several weeks ago to the effect that the
supreme court of Spain had overruled the
action of the Spanish drum head court
martial in Cuba in condemning the pris-
oners of the American schooner Competi-
tor to death. The Spanish supreme court
declares that the action of the military
court in Havana was irregular and that
the prisoners of the Competitor are entitled
to trial by q regular civil tribunal. This
action Of the Spanish authorities meets the
claim Of the United States government in
the matter.
