SULTAN'S NEW DECREE.
Will Grant Amnesty to 1000 Armenian
PrisOners-..Clemency Due to Inter-
venti0n Of the New Patriarch.

London. Dec. GA dispatch from
Constantinople to the Central News
says that the sultan has issued a de-
cree granting amnesty to the 1000
Armenians who have been convicted
either of crimes against the govern
ment or against persons or property,
or who We're awaiting trial on such
charges. In addition his majesty COM
mites the death sentences passed on
ninety Armcnians to Imprisonment in
fortress and promises that the pris-
oners will be given their liberty If they
behave themselves for three months.
This clemency Is due to the interVcn-
tion of Mgr. Ormanian, the new Ar
menian patriarch, who recently re-
quested the sultan to show mercy to
the many Armenian prisoners. The
sultan then consented to grant a gen.
eral amnesty on condition that the pal
Uiarchial mixed council guarantee the
future good behavior of Armenians af
fected by this act of clemency.

SANGUILLY'S TRIAL.
The Day Consumed in Arguments OF
COursal-General Wcyler Leaves
for the Field OF Operations.

Havana, Dec. 22.--The trial of Julio
Sanguilly, on charges of conspiring
against the Spanish authorities, was
continued today. The attendance was
smaller Than ii was yesterday when the
trial commenced, but there were enough
spectators present to I'LL the court
rOom The sitting was devoted entire
ly to the speacheS of the prose-
cutting attOrneN and counsel Tor the
defence. The former continued the
argument against the prisoner which
he opened yesterday and again insisted
that Sanguilly's guilt had been proved
and that he should be sentenced To life
Imprisonment. He decried any partial
ity being shown the prisoner on account
of his being a Spaniard 10y birth or be-
cause he was an American citizen ana
held that exact justice demanded that
severe punishment be meted out to hiln.'
Counsel for the defence followed the
prosecutor. In cool and reasonable
speech he rrfuted the charges made
against his client and demanded that
ne be set at liberty. Before the speech
had been concluded the court adjourn
ed until tomorrow.
Captain-General Weyler, accompanied
by his STAFF and his son. Don Fernando
Weylcr, who recently arrived in Cuba,
from Spain, left Havana at s O'Clock
this morning on board the transport

whence he proceeds to the field of mill

General Solono reports that the bat
tie recently fought by Colonel Lara
with the combined forces of insurgents
under Mayia Rodriguez and other
leaders in the Oliver hills, near Place
tas, was more important engage
ment than at first reported. II has
since been learned that the losses of
the rebels We're upwards OF 200 killed
or wounded, while the loss of the Span
iards was only one captain and twelve
