er Laurada, who has been on trial In the
United States Court here for several days,
charged with setting on foot a military
expedition 10 Cuba In defiance Of the ueu-
trality laws. was found guilty this morn
ing by the jury.
The jury retired az 3.l5 yesterday after
noon. and three hours later had agreed
on a verdict. The result was not an
nounced, however. until 10 o'clock this
morning. 6 fESN
The defendant was IN court az the time
the verdict was announced. but he gave
no outward Indication OF emotion. Coun-
sci for the defense at once made a motion
for a new trial, and was allowed the usual
four days IN which TO prepare his brief
The defendants counsel also asked that
Capt Hart be admitted 70 bail pending tho
motion for a new trial. Judge Butler said
an cases must be treated alike. II an es-
tablished rule was vacated ii ceased TO be
n rule. He added. however. that II the
district attorney would ask the court 20
have capt. Hart released on bail, show
ing reasonable ground. the court would not
hesitate to do so. The judge Will decide
the matter later. and Hart was placed In
custody Of n United States marshal but

capt Hart and his two steamers the
Iaurada and Bermuda, have given the
United States government more trouble
than all the alleged hlibusters afioat. The
expedition which eventually caused the
conviction of Capt. Hart was formed i'm

steamer Laurada at the disposal OF tho
Cuban Junta, and on August 5. 1896. shs

around 10 a point off Barnegat, n. J., and.
took on a cargo Of arms. ammunition and
eighteen men. She sailed for the NavassH
Islands and there transferred tho war ma
torials to the famous hlibuster Dauntless.
1t was shown by the eveldence that Capt.
Hart took an active part I'm the fitting out
OF the expedition. He hired the yacht 10
carry the eighteen men 10 the Laurada,
had the stores placed on the vessel. and
had general supervision OF the work. lie
