EXECUTION STAYED.
SPAIN HEEDS UNCLE SANS
LATEST PROTEST.
Execution Of the Filibuster Competitor
Capt yes Postponed-American Rights
Were Overrldden by the Court Martial
Owen Melton Raised Near Lawrence

WASHINGTON, May 1?--At the re
quest of the United States the Spanish
government has agreed to postpone
the carrying out of the death sen
fences upon American citizens unit
the views of the United States respect
ing the application to their cases Of
the treaty of 1895 and the protocol Of
1877 can be presented and considered.
This means delay of some weeks al
least, so that the matter can be taken
up by the diplomatic representatives
of the United States and Spain and be
made the subject of the exchange OF
correspondence on the Interpretation
to be given to the treaty provisions
between the two nations Meanwhile
the effect will be to allay popular ex-
cItement, especially i'll Spain.
The action of the State department
in insisting upon re-trial at least of
the American prisoners is evidently in
answer to the contention of the court
martial that the Cushing protocol of
1877 did not apply to the present case.
The court held that it applied only to
American citizens resident in Spain or
the Spanish dominions, and, as the
captives from the Competitor were not
in any sense residents of Cuba, de-
cided that they could not claim any of
the privileges accorded by the proto-
col.
In the opinion of the State depart.
ment this was an extremely narrow
and illiberal construction to place
upon the protocol, but while not &C.
ceptlng this construction, the depart
ment guarded against an adverse
decision on the protocol by referring
to the ancient treaty of 1895, on the
ground that if the prisoners case was
not covered by the protocol, they GER
tainly could invoke the measure of
protection afforded by the earlier
treaty. While this treaty is not by
any means generous in the matter of
privileges held out to American pris-
oners, still contains some guarantees
of great value to them in JUST such
cases as that which has now arisen.
The contention of the State depart
ment is that, irrespective of the Cush-
ing protocol of 1877, this treaty gives
the American prisoners certain priv
ileges that were withheld from them
by the Spanish court martial. Not
ably, they were obliged to rest their
defense in the hands of Spanish OIL
Ger detailed tor the purpose, and
one in all probability not par
anxious to clear his
clients, and were prevented from Sc
lectlng their own counsel as guar
anteed by the treaty. Also, it is said,
that the prisoners were not accorded
an opportunity to procure testimony
in their own behalf. This is one of
the privileges inseparable from a law
full and regular conduct of the prose-
cution. Altogether, the indications
are that the State department is pre-
pairing to make a strong legal defense
against the execution of the death
penalty in the case of the American
prisoners.
