Official Information That They Will
Soon be Tried.
New York, June 2S.-A dispatch TO
the Journal and Advertiser from Ha-
vana says:
Consul General Lee has finally been
officially notified that Ona Melton, the
American newspaper correspondent:
Captain Laborde, and others belonging
to the captured schooner. Competitor,
and one or two Americans incarcera-
ted with them in the Cabanas fortress,
will be called for public trial July /.
The hearing will go before civil judges
and judgment Will be entirely based on
the declarations previously made with
In the walls of the military prisoners
on evidence taken by a government
official or crown prosecutor. acting on
behalf of the Spanish admiralty and
war department. The court viii listen
to no new testimony save in support
of the written declaration already filed.
George Ferran,. the only witness the
Competitor men were permitted to call
on their behalf. was arrested immedi-
ately after his examination, and is still
a prisoner. His sworn statement was
that the vessel was beyond the three
mile limit and had the American flag
at her masthead when fired upon and
seized. This statement diSDleaSed the
Spaniards, and Ferran was, therefore,
detained here and charged with per-
jury.
Consul General Lee has as vet re-
ceived no instructions from Washing
ton to employ counsel to defend the
prisoners.
4 Spanish magistrate said that the
men would undoubtedly be found guilty
again and sentenced TO death or long
terms OF Imprisonment. but he added:
Their friends need not fear their be-
ing executed or deported. Our people
are too diplomatic thus to force Amer
ica's hand.
Were the men shot popular indigna-
ton in the United States would compel
Mckinley TO act. On the other hand,
we're they declared innocent or par
doned. Spanish sentiment might drive
the judges and magistrates and minis
tiers from benches and office. But they
can be kept as prisoners indefinitely

toms nozzle was given trial with the
fire department engine. and the expert
ment demonstrated concluSively the
superiority of the new nozzle over the
old one. The experiment was conduct
ed on State street. and a pressure of 100
pounds was placed on the new inven-
ton. Ii stood the test beautifully. and
the spray which went forth from the

OF every fire fighter present. The ro-

THE BIGGEST DAYS BUSINESS.
The largest days business ever done
by the City Railway company was at
the dedication of the temple on April
6, 1898, but even this great record is
likely to be broken during the jubilee.
EFFECT OF HARD TIMES.
The street railway companies have
felt the effect of hard times as severely
as oeher enterprises, for the working
classes particularly, who used to ride
regularly to and from their work. now
ride infrequently or not at all. OF late
there has been some improvement in
this respect.
AS 10 the bicycle. the company is
satisfied that it cut into the business
heavily two or three years ago, but
the wheel. so the officials say. cuts a
very small figure in the business to-
day.
AS before stated, the system as now
operated is far in advance of the de-
velop,nent Of the city. reaching as it
does to all of The suburban districts,

Same Old Story.

New York. June 2S.-The Journal and
Advertiser announces that John L. Sui
Ivan has broken away from all train
ing rules. Says the Journal and Adver-
tiser:
Sullivan got away from Billy Muldoon
while they were taking a walk through
the streets of White Plains on Sunday
night and when his trainer found him
again he had consumed SO much liquor
mat he had been put to bed. Muldoon
had him later on driven to the training
quarters. Neither of them will speak
of the matter, but Muldoon appears to
be very much disguised and put out
over il. Sullivan is now contrite. bus
insists that he feels much better Not
withstanding the fact that he pulled
down his weight very little and that
his training has amounted almost to
nothing, Sullivan contends that he viii
be in good shape by next Monday night,
and viii be fully able to take care of
himself in the ring

the tendency toward a concentration
of population in cities is so marked.
With the growth of business districts
in towns, the residence sections grow
further away, the boundaries are ex-
tended and quick transit is essential
for the business and laboring man
alike
Salt Lake is fortunate in having what
is really model street car system, and
it always comes in for a word of praise
from the stranger within our gates.
Few people, outside of those interested,
are aware Of the immensely of a system
like the Salt Lake City railway. 1t
took nerve and unlimited faith in the
future of the town to place it where it
is today, because the system is away in
advance OF the city.

Chinese government has ordered that
