is less summary and more formal in its char
acter than the first.
The report says that the men at the
first trial did not know until after the
testimony for the prosecution was in
that an interpreter was present, and
the only translation made to them was
at the close Of the sanguinary proceed
ings when they were asked if they had
anything to say, and necessarily they
could have little to say, yet one of
them protested that he had not under
stood one word of the proceedings
against him by which his life was ad-
judged forfeited. The report continues
With these protests the trial ended and the
defendants We're Immediately sentenced to
death. 1t is now fourteen months since they
were arrested during all of which time they
have been held in Cabanas fortress as pris-
oners. In our opinion, these acts of delay
and denial of justice and of the infection of
injustice, vitiate and make void any right
which Spain had in the beginning of this
transaction to proceed crimnally against any
of these men. This government should de-
mand that they be set at liberty and that
the Competitor be restored to her owner.

Sherman Scored
For the Tone of His Latest
Boring Sea Dispatch.

LONDON, July 15.-The Daily Graph
sea correspondence this morning, says:
Our experience of the incurably bad
manners of American diplomacy rem
ders it unnecessary to regard Secretary
Sherman's explosion seriously. 1t would
be unwise to en1bitter the negotiation
by answering Secretary Sherman ac-
cording to his indiscretion.'
The Daily Chronicle says: 1--WE
thought it was we who had a good
gr evance over the non-execution of the
P ris award"
The Daily News says editorially:
",F'he ugly dispatch from Secretary
Sherman which has got into print is
sure to revive for the moment the un-
pleasant memory of 1895, when Eng
land and the United States found them
selves almost on the brink of war. But
1t will be only momentary. When the
facts are calmly considered, we should
not be surprised if the publication
should produce an expression of pop
ular feeling in America in a direction
quite contrary to that anticipated and
lead to an early solution of the irri-
tating controversy blythe abandonment
once for all of temper SO little likely
to produce a happy result. 1t is clear
from all that has lately been published
on the question that the dispatch is
out of date, and it's publication is either
a ludicrous accident or partisan de-
vice" ~

Radical Anti=Spanish Resolution.
Demand for the Release of Competitors Prisoners

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator
Davis, chairman Of the committee on
foreign relations, today reported from
that committee the following joint res
olution:
That the president be empowered to take
such measures as in his judgment may be
necessary to obtain the release from the
Spanish government of Ona Melton, Alfred o.
Laborde and William Gidea. and the restora-
ton Of the schooner Competitor to her owner
and TO secure this, he is authorized and re-
quested to employ such means or exercise
such power as may be necessary.
The report recites all the facts that
have been brought out in the Com
petitor case; her ownership, capture
and citizenship of the three men named
III the resolution, together with the pro-
ceedings thus far had by the Spanish
authorities, the trial, sentence, etc. The
report characteriZes it as mocbery
of a trial. The affidavits of the party
are cited to show that they were CO.
creed into Spanish waters, in which
case they were not amenable to Span
ish Jurisdiction. They were not subject
to piracy and intended no act of depre-
dation on the seas, nor were they sub
ject to the Spanish authority on ac-
count Of alleged rebellion. The report
then says:
Irrespective of any of the foregoing consd-
erations, the conduct of Spain, as hereinbe-
fore detailed constitutes such delay and de-
NAL of justice and such an actual infection Of
injustice upon these men as to make 1t the
duty of this government to demand reparation
therefor. irrespective of any act which these
prisoners may have committed up to the date
Of their capture. Among the acts of repara-
ton which ought to be demanded should be
the release of these captives.
Secretary Evarts is quoted to sus-
tain this position. The report declares
that the rights of the men have been
violated and continues:
They have been tried and sentenced to
death by a summary naval court martial in
a proceeding which had been annulled by the
appellate courts of Madrid, upon the ground
that such court martial had no Jurisdiction
over them Ten months have elapsed since
this death sentence was annulled and they
have not again been brought to trial. In the
meantime, they have been subjected to pro-
tracted preliminary examinations preparatory
to their trial by another court martial which
differs from the first only in the fact that 1t

out for the senate figures. The con-
tending forces on the wool schedule
the carpet manufacturers and the wool
growers-outside the conference, have
practically reached an agreement which
it is presumed will be ratified by the
conferees.
The conferees remained in session
until after o'clock today and then ad-
journed until tomorrow, emitting the
usual evening session. They had not
reached a point where they could call
in the Democratic conferees, but all
said progress had been made. 1t was
impossible to say whether the senate
or house had the advantage of the
days work Both sides looked weary
and troubled. The outlook for a final
agreement was said to be at a great
distance.

Guiding the negotiations and to sign

The foregoing is authentic, but is re-
garded as a ruse intended to delay a
decision, although in some quarters it
has led to the belief that tomorrow
council will decide to meet Europe's
views on the frontier question. Con-
firmation has been received of the re-
port that the Turks are constructing a
military road in one of the passes of
Mount Othys and are preparing to re-
sumo hostilities.

speaking of the size of the elephants
feet, II wonder how great circum-
ference they have,' said the elder of
the two, Il think they measure at

gauging its size, insisted that his guess
Was correct. .'Nonsense; quite inpos-
sible," exclaimed his friend. and then.
as the younger man still claimed that
he was right they laid Il small wager.
and referred the matter to the Keeper.
"Wlat is the circumference of the
forefOOt of that big elepllant:'' they
asked. 'Tllc circGlufcrcnce of an Gle.
plants foot is always just half of the
animars height" replied tho keeper
will You be SO good as to measure

keeper got long cord and went in be-
side the monster, RaZzlc. who stands
eight feet and five inches in height
"Of course l measure while the animal
is standing sQuarely on all fours." he
said. If l were to take the foot IN
from the floor 1t would MT he quite so

caused by the Speeding out OF the soft

the cord around the animals foot, held
1t up and measered it with a tape line.
The figures showed four feet two inch

twenty-One dead 80 far recovered, and
eleven injured. of which ut least two

1t is claimed by some who witnessed

several physicians. that twenty-eight
dead bodies were taken out. The re-

last night. stepped at Il siding two
miles outside the city limits, where it
was met by undertakers' wagons and

found a lleighbOr named Saunders, and
presently told him ALL The white man
slept III 81 loft over the kitchen, and the
negro in tho stable. The plan was for
the former to descend from the loft
during the night and unfastcn the
kitchen door and admit the negro. The
colored woman would he asleep on a
lounge, and as it was feared she would
neither run away with them nor share
their guilt, the white man was to kill
her while the negro attacked Mr.. Da'
Wis. When the story had been told,
Saunders planned with ny grandfa-
ther to beat the villains Mt their game.
The colOreQ woman was locked up IN a
store room off the kitchen, and a log
Of wood laid OH the lounge and coy
cred up, to resemble a human figure.
Another log was placed In my grand
fathers bed, and then the two men,
each armed with a rifle, took up their
stations behind n cupboard standing
across corner Of the kitchen.
Half an hour before midnight the
white man softly descended the ladder
and opened the door for the negro, who
had a couple Of sharp axes in his
hands. The pair whispered together
for moment, and then the white man
took one of the axes and moved over
