court yesterday. and the defense opened.
The prosecution relies largely on the tes
timony of o. 6. Harris. clerk in local

sold Wales the dynamite found in the
seminary attic after the fire. Harris
identified Wales at the preliminary
hearing. and declares positively that he
is not mistaken. The defense are trying
to prove that the fire was caused by

dynamite was not put there with the in
tent to destroy the seminary: it also dis
rt,tes that Wales bought the dynamite,
and promises to produce a man who
bought it and who is mistaken by Harris

the situation was quite lengthily dis

report. which has disquieting effect
among the mill operatives of this city.

Icy Of Spain to make an effort very soon t.
bring the war in Cuba to an end by means
Of an offer of home rule to the island,
have made inquiries in various directions,

will not accept. l eaw today private
letter from Tomas Estrada Palma, the
delegate to the United States from the Gu

understood now as ever that we shall never
consent to any negotiations with Spain ex-
cent upon the basis of the absolute indie
pepdence Of the fatherland. This letter
was not written for publication, but for
private consideration, and there can be no
doubt that it accurately and forcibly ex'
pressed the attitude of the leading Cubans
in this country.
An Appalling Condition.
In the course Of long conversation
with gentleman who holds conspicuous
and confidential position in the Cuban
organization here learned many interest
ing facts concerning the situation in the
unhappy island. How can we accept
home ruler" he asked. "Let any one who
wants an answer to this question pause for
moment and think. We went to war
because we were taxed without representa-
ton, because Of the total tax Of $26, 600, 0OO
collected yearly from Cubans by Spain
only $500, 900 was spent in informal inn
proyemonts or for tho benefit of the coun-
try. The remainder went to support the
officials sent from Spain, who oppressed us;
for the army which stood guard over us,
for the navy which patrolled our coasts,
for pensions to Spanish soldiers who bad
tried to conquer us during the ten yeaE
war, and for pay nent Of the interest
principal Of the debt incurred in suppro
ing our last revolution. II we were juaes
fed in going to war under those condi-
lions, how could we accept autonomy
now?

gentleman, "the debt OF Spain charged up
to Cuba is we'll nigh $500, 000. 900. BY the
