Two Years Imprisonment, $500 Fine
and the Costs Of Prosecution.
SENTENCE PRONOUNCED MONDAY
An Affecting Scene in the
Court Room.

Philadelphia, Pa, March s.-Capt.
John ID. Hart, who was recently CON
victed Of tilibustering against the
Spanish government in connection
With the steamer Laurada, Of which he
is the owner, was to-day refused new
trial by Judge Butler, in tho United
States district court, and sentenced to
serve two years imprisonment and to
pay fine OF 500 and the costs of the
prosecution. lie is to stand committed
until the fine and COSTS are paid. The
costs of the prosecution amount to
nearly s5, 600. Capt. Hart was taken
to prisuu after the sentence was pro.
nounced.
, In refusing a new trial Judge Butler
said the only debatable question, in
the courts opinion, was whether Cant.
Hart bau furnished the Laurada, know
ing at the time that she was to carry a
military expedition TO Cube, to fight
against the Spanish government. and
whether he had knowledge OF tho mill
tary character Of the expedition. The
court said that il the cargo was one not
prohibited by our laws he would have
had 10 reason to conceal his identity
with tho movement. In concealing his
ihbntlls IL "hh apparent 10 tne court
that it was tao intention of this de-
fendant to erade tho laws OF this
government.
Capt. Hart's vito and two other
female relatives and many business
zen were 10 court when the sentence
was announced. The women broke
down, and were led from the roum
weeping. TIE business men crowded
about the prisoner, ana offered their
aympathies.
Capt. Hart is about 10 years of aga
and mas been 10 tho fruit importing
business for nearly 20 years. Shortly
aItor the Cuban Spanish war broke
out he leased two OF his steamers, the
Laurada and Bermuda, to the Cuban
patriots for transportation of arms and
ammunition and men to Tuba. Sons
OF the largest expeditions that touched
the shures Of Cuba were shipped on
these vessels and their departure wan
due in great measure to the Hkilful
manipulation of the steamers by Capt.
Hart.
Capt. Hart's family consists OF a
wife and two daughters, Laura and
a da, after whom tho LauradH is named.
Counsel for Capt. Hart have not ye,
decided whether they will appeal Ia
the United States Supreme Court OF
present to President Mckinley q peti.
tion for pardon.
