President Mckinley is much interest

There are five Of these prisouels,
namely Alfred Laborde, William GIL
dea, Ona Melton, Charles Barnett and
william Leavitt. They were arrested
ON the Competitor April %. 1895, on a
charge Of landing arms for the insur-
gents, and have been held In close coii-
finement ever since. May 8, 1895, they
were tried by naval c0urt-martial and
sentenced to DEATH Only the most en-
ergetic acion by the United States gov
ernment prevented the immediate exc
cution Of this sentence, and after me-
gotiations direct with Madrid, Weyler
having proved unrelenting, nm order
was secured for new trial, the Ma
drid judicial reviewing authorities hav-
ing adjudged the proceeding informal
The contention of our government
has been that these men were properly
subject to the protection afforded by
the Gushing proctocol, and entitled to
counsel, to he confronted with wit
fair trial contained in that agreement.
The Spanish claim has been that the
men, being taken arms in hand, and
not on land. are excluded from the
benefits OF the proctOcol. The news
now coming that they are to be tried by
court-martial again is not reassuring,
ms 1t amounts to an insistence by the
Spanish upon their contention, which.
II carried out. will lead to the reimpo-
sition of the death penalty, though
clemency may be extended by General
BlancO.
Hanns Taylor, ex-minister to Spain,
tonight made the following statement:
ITO the Associated Press As certain
Journals have deemed 1t necessary to
assert that the present administration
is I'm no wise responsible for my acts as
private citizen. deem 1t my duty to
ratify that statement. The publica-
tions signed by me and based on data
accessible to everybody, were made up
on my sole responsibility from grave
sense Of public duty, which cannot
doubt ia fully appreciated by the peo-
pie of the United States, who are en-
titled to my testimony.
II am sure that the present admins
trati0n is doing its entire patriotic
duty, and I have for 1t no adverse crit
icism whatever. On the other hand,
l cannot believe that any one author
lied to speak for 1t has ventured to
critlcise me in any particular, as all
know that have discharged every OBJ
legation due to 1t. whether personal OF

An eminent English scientist has ex-
pressed the hope and the belief that be-
fore many years the great cataract Of
Niagara will be turned aside from its
course and every particle Of its majes-
tic foree utilized in furnishing electric
mower to the mills and railroads Of the
surrounding region. The harnessing
Of the giant to the service Of man has
already begun. and there will be two
opinions as to the wisdom OF carrying
the process of subjugation SO far. Ma
terfA advantage is not the only thing
to be considered; grand and beautiful
scenery has a value that cannot
be expressed in dollars and cents. No
amount Of increased industrial wealth
could make good the loss Of Niagara
Falls. 1t is the work Of a Divine
hand. The brutal greed of capital
should not be permitted to obliterate
it altogether.
