soaELL,AM FOUND GUILTY.
Another American Citizen Convicted
by the spanish.

Another American Citizen Convicted
/ by the spanish.
The trial of the American citizen, Luis
Somellian, on the charge Of conspiracy
against the Spanish government, was con-
cluded at Havana Monday, sentence being,
however, reserved.
Antonio Mesa, speaking for the defense,
said the public prosecutor had made unjus-
tilted and serious charges against his client,
and he asked for the release Of the prisoner
on account of lack Of proof. Somellian, he
said, should be tried according to the law
of 1921, as article Nv of that law greatly
fayors American citizens, according to a
recent agreement between Spain and the
United States, and he will, therefore, base
his appeal on this irregularity.
Senior Mesa added that pubic opinion
was not legal proof, besides the declaration
Of the aldermen and various ncighbors as
to Somellian's supposed disaffection toward
Spain was only public rumors.
Public Prosecutor Vidal then said that
the Spanish magistrates at present had to
follow public opinion and sentence Someil-
liam. Otherwise, If the conspirators in Ha-
vana were not punished, the revolution
would continue indefinitely.

TREATY is A FACT
JOHN BULL AND UNCLE SAM
HAVE AGREED.
Arbi' ra ion Agreement Has Been
Signed by the British Ambassador
and Secretary Olney-HOuse Kills
the Pacific Road Bill.
Treaty Is a Fact.


The last step, aside from the ratification
of the treaty by the congress of Venezuela,
necessary to give effect to the Venezuelan
arbitration agreement between the United
States and Great Britain has been COM
pleted by the formal assent of King Oscar
of Sweden to the clause of the arbitration
convention which makes him final arbi-
traitor in case the other members of the tri-
bunal are unable to agree. The congress
of Venezuela meets in February. 1t is
understood that they are not potent enough
to prevent the ratification Of the agrees
ment.
The proposition for general arbitration
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain is now an accomplished fact.
The treaty, unlike the Venezuelan agree
ment, must be submitted to the United
States senate for approval.
While full details of the terms are not yet
obtainable, it can be stated that ample pro-
vision is made to guard against failure Of
the arbitrators to agree through tie vote.
Proper provision has been made in such
case for reference to deciding authority.
Secretary Olney and the British ambassa-
dor have both signed the general arbitra-
ton treaty.
Later:-Monday afternoon the president
sent special message to the senate urging
the Immediate approval of the treaty.

FUN AHEAD FOR CHARLESTON
Blockade or the South Carolina POr

Blockade OF the South Carolina Port
to Be Tried for Naval Practice.
The people OF Charleston, s. c., ana
vicinity are promised novel winter enter
tainment. Secretary Herbert, after consul
tation with Admiral Bunce, commanding
the north Atlantic squadron, has decided
to allow the admiral to undertake the
blockade to Charleston.
Heretofore the squadron maneuvers have
not gone beyond target practice. Grad
ually the exercises have been enlarged in
scope as the officers and men gained in
proficiency and became better acquainted
with the qualities of their respective ships,
and now Secretary Herbert has become
satisfied of the practicability of under.
taking regular blockade.
Charleston was selected as the objective
point because of the fine winter climate
and the availability of Hampton Roads and
Port Royal, s. c., as bases for the block
aiding fleet. The fun will begin early in
February, the exact date depending upon
the ability Of the navy yard people to get
the ships ready. Everyone of the ships
that can be supplied with a crew, will par
ticipate, either as blockader or a block.

OPPOSE FREE LANDS.
Government Ghould Not Buy Farms
to Give Away.

Government GhouId Not Buy Farms
to Give AWAY.
A minority of the Senate Committee
ON Indian Affairs is decidedly opposed to
free lands for settlers. The report OBJ
poses the bill on the general grounds Of
the vast expense it's adoption would en-
tail upon the government. Commencing
with the year 1889 the government has
purchased 33,2522.54O acres Of land from,
the Indians, agreeing to pay $25, 261 ,937
for it, besides $3,OOO.OOO set apart as a
trust fund for the benefit of the Indians
of the. Great Sioux reservation. If"
says the report, ''all the land already
opened. to settlement upon Indian reser-
yations heretofore coded shall be taken
up, the SUM to be paid therefor by the
settlers will be $50 ,353. OO6.S8 This bill
proposes to release the settlers FROM the
payment of this sum-"
The report calls attention to the fact
that 1t was provided in the acts bearing
upon those settlements with the different
tribes OF Indians that settlers should nav
shtiicient for the lands to reimburse the
90vefnment tor the money paid the In.
sdians. Several million ncres of land arc
embraced in these pending agreements.

CRUSADE AGAINST COOLIES.
Japanese LabOrers Roughly Treated
in California.

Japanese Laborers Roughly Treated
in California.
A crusade against Coolie labor has been
inaugurated at Orangevale, California. An
orchardist employed six Japanese on his
place and the same night fifteen citizens
with gunny sacks over their heads seized
the japanese, placed rope around the
neck of each and took them to a big oak
tree. There they were strung up and left
hanging until life was almost extinct. The
japanese were then lowered, and when
they revived the hanging process was re-
peated several times. The Japanese were
then forced to march out Of the settlement
and warned never to return on penalty of
being hanged until dead.
Roos, the employer, demonstrated at the
outrage, and then rope was thrown about
his neck with threat to hang him If he
interfered or employed any but white
labor on his ranch hereafter.
