JULIO sANGUTLLY's CASE IN CUBA.
American Citizen on Trial Before u
Spanish Court.

spanish court.
HAVANA, Dec. 22.-The re-trial OF the
case OF Julio Sanguilly charged with trea-
son and conspiracy. continued today at
o'clock The United States vice consul
general, Joseph A. Springer was not present
when the proceedings opened, but he arrived
soon afterward. Public Prosecutor Vidal
made a request of the jury to nullify the
testimony taken by handwriting experts at
yesterdays session but the jury refused to
do So Senior Vidal thereupon entered pro-
test Continuing, Senor Vidal made for
NAL demand that the prisoner should be sen
fenced to Imprisonment for life. In his
speech he made violent attack upon such
Cubans as become naturalized American cit
izens. He alleged that their citizenship was
purely political and designed to beneht them
in their private affairs. At the same time he
praised the course pursued by the United
States government He argued that San
guilly's features and the contour OF his race,
as well as his garb, revealed his Spanish
origin, and he asserted that Sanguilly al
legged that he was not an American citizen
when he was first arrested. Neither had he
fulfilled articles vii and tx of the law with
regard to foreigners. He alleged Sanguilly
had shown sympathy both with the former
and the present revolution in Cuba.
Senior Mesa then followed in a speech for
Sanguilly. He said Senior Vidal had errone-
ously sought to apply to this case the pro
visions OF the protocol of 1857, instead OF
1927. The prosecutors charge, he pointed
out was based on confidential reports made
to the captain general. Sanguilly's compan-
the only one still held. Senor Mesa then
read two official documents favorable to
Sanguillys case. The trial was again ad-
iournel until tomorrow.

MussuImnn In the Frcnch Chnmbcr.

PARIS, Dec. 22-Parls newspapers arc
full of gossip about DR.. Crecere, who has
been elected deputy for Pontarlier, as a
radical. Or. Crencere is rigid Mussulman
and he intends to wear the turban and the
burnouse in the Chamber of Deputies. His
election was due to bad management by the
moderate republican committees. He stood
for the election with the title of the prophet
Of God. He is highly educated, a skillful
debater and a doctor of medicine. He never
refuses a consultation and never takes a
fee and gives away his whole fortune. He
advocates free marriage and polygamy, and
practices all the Mussulman rites, including
naked bathing in the river. The newspapers
jocularly ask whether he will do the same
in Paris.

THE GLOBE ALMANAC.
An Up-tO-Dnte Hand Book for the
Year 1895.

Year 1896.
Those who think of an almanac as a
f1imsy pamphlet given away by drug
stores in the interests of some patent
medicine, will be surprised and delight
ed when they inspect copy of the new
Atlas-Almanac and Cyclopedia, which
this paper has provided for the con-
yenience and information of its readers
and their friends.
To start with, the book is the largest
ever produced in this country under the
auspices OF newspaper; it contains
432 pages, and these are double the
size of any other Almanac issued. But
its distinctive feature. which places it
above and beyond all others, is found
in the fact that it contains As maps
printed in four colors and comprising
every state and territory, besides
Canada and Central America. These
maps are new and have been en-
graved especially for the Atlas-Almanac
by the Well-knoWn atlas maker, George
F. Cram. They show all countries and
railroads, and are invaluable for refer
ence, practically taking the place of an
atlas costing from $40 to $40. The sta
tiStical portion of the work treats of
the National Government, State Gov
ernments, Politics. Election returns,
Agriculture, Manufactures, Mining,
Finance, Education, Religion, Law.
Sports, Society, the Home, besides
large amount of information regarding
domestic and foreign affairs. Every
page of the book bears the work of ex-
pense and it has cost more TO produce
it than any Year Book ever published
in America, yet it will nevertheless be
supplied to readers and their friends at
the nominal price Of 25 cents per copy.
The maps alone are worth many times
this amount, and the entire work will
be found invaluable to every reader
who wants to be up with the times in
matters of general information. Price
% cents, postpaid to any address.

ly dependent upon the other. Whenev-
er the members Of the agricultural So

N. P. Clarke, Of st. Cloud, responded,
thanking the Commercial club for it's
hospitality. He spoke of the prosperity
the state is enjoying and Of the bright
future before it. In the. bringing about
of this prosperity the work of the ag-
ricultural association must not be I'M
derestimated, for it had been very
important factor in the work
Gen. j. F. Norris, Of Hastings, spoke
of the advantages of diversified farm
ing and of the necessity of its more
general adoption. He said that Min
nesota must meet the competition of
the world as a producer, In this, 1t
had already downed England, much
grain being already sent there The
next thing to undertake was to down
the European nations in the production
Of meats. They were ahead now SIM
ply because they are more careful in
the kind of meat they export. If Min
nesota did the same it could get their
trade.

work of the agricultural society.
The guests then adjourned to the
dining rooms and refreshments were
served. A number of toasts to the
future prosperity Of the society were
