ALL expedition of June, 1895, was con-

Court here to-day The jury was in
Structed to render a sealed verdict,
which will be announced tomorrow
Upon the announcement by District
Attorney Marbury that the Government
rested its case, the defense, as was ex-
pected, stated that it would call no wit
nesses.
Judge Morris. in his Instructions to
the jury, defined the crime of conspiracy,
which, he said. if proved, hold each per-
son in it liable for whatever is done by
any of the others in carrying out the un-
lawful purpose.
He added: IF you find that the en-
terprise in this case was of a military
character, that is to say, it was not for
any peaceful purpose, but was for a
military service with hostile intention
against the Spanish rule in Cuba; that
they came as a body from an out of
way place on the coast of Florida, bring
ing nothing but their arms and ammu-
milton; that the arms and ammunition
were not undivided property, but ap-
peared to belong to common stock and
that they said they We're going to Cuba
to fight the Spaniards-these facts,
which if found by you, are suffi-
cient to warrant you in finding the ex-
pedition was in fact a military eXpe-
dition from the United States against
Cuba
The argumenk for tne defense was
made by General Bradley, T. ]. john

a better gait than Morris. On the sixth
lap the pacemakers We're ordered out,
and the men We're left to fight it out
alone. Stevens made the pace for the
next tape, and looked a sure winner,
but Beckers wonderful sprint soon as
serted itself, and a grand race for the
tape ensued. Eaton brought up in the
rear. On the last turn Becker passed
his opponent who picked up little,
and they had it nip and tuck down the
homestretch, Becker winning out by
inches only, and 1rerrill finishing few
inches behind Stevens for the third
place. The Indoor king was; outdis-
