The Trial.
Vergara. Aug. 16.-About 200 persons
were present at the trial Of AngiOlli, the
assassin of Premier Canovas, today: The
vicinity of the prison was almost desert
ed, the public being apparently indiffer
ent in view of the certainty that the
death penalty would follow the court
martial Angiolli, heavily manacled, sal
between two gendarmes and Immediately
in front of his judges. On a table neal
by lay his revolver and other material
evidence of the crime.
The president of the court read the
declarations of eye witnesses. after which
the written statement of the prisoner
was read by the clerk of the court
Angiolli, in the course Of the statement,
said he left Foggia in October, 1893. and
went to Marseilles and Barcelona, where
he took the name of Jose Santos. AT
first he had not thought of becoming an
anarchist. but while he was mt Corrina
he began to be interested in anarchist
doctrines. He returned, then; to Mar VA
seiles After his expulsion from That
city he went to Belgium and London,
where he spent most of his time in the
society of anarchists.
When the execution took place at Bar
celona on May of five of the anarchists
convicted of participating in the bomb
outrage at the feast of Corpus Christi,
he conceived the idea of assassinatlng
Canovas. Without seeking an accom-
plice he proceeded to Spain ana carried
out the resolution.
Angiolli went on to say that passion for
vengeance led him to commit the crime.
As he was unacquainted with the man
ufacturing of explosives, he used the re-
volyer.
The public prosecutor described the
crime as ''premeditated murder and
asked the court to impose the dea'h pen
atty.
Lieut.. Cerra. whom the court had as
signed as counsel to Angiolli. urged that
the prisoner was dementcd mt the time
of the shooting and made n strong APP
peal to the benevolence of justice.
While his counsel was presenting. this
plea, Angioli listened in silence: Then
he asked permission to speak Tor MN,
self. which was granted. He thanked
Tient. Cerria for his efforts and denied
that he had any accomplish or that he
was an accomplce of those who com
mitted the bomb throwing outrages. at
barcelona or that he had participated III
secret gathering of anarchists When ne
hogan TO discuss anarchist theories the
president of the court interrupted nm
and threatened to stop him If he pursued
that line of remark or touched upon any
matters not connected with the trial. An
giolli persisted in speaking of politics ana
the war in Cuba and the Philippine
islands. The president said:
"All that has nothing to do with your
crime" .,.e
Angolli replied: 81 must justify my
self" ,,,,
The president retorted: "That is. no
justification. Moreover, you can convince
nobody in that way
Angiolli began again, but the president
decided that the trial was ended ana Or
dered the court room cleared: After the
prisoner had been conducted to his cell
the Jury deliberated for an hour ana tnen
enacted n sentence in accordance WITH 'he

FORCED TO ACT DECENT.
Canada Can Not Afford to Impose
Hardships on American
klOnIykers.

Washington, Aug. lit is not be-
leved by officials of the government
that any serious hardships will be i'm
posed by Canada on American miners
in the Klondyke region. as such a
course might result in retaliation en-
forced by the United States so as to
make it almost impossible for the Cana
dams to go or return from the Klondyke
country. If this country should prevent
Canadian officials from entering the
Klondyke through American territory
they would be obliged to reach the gold
country over thousands of miles of I'M
explored country. While it is said that
there has been no correspondence bear
ing upon the point of impostions upon
the American miners, there is an intima-
ton that Canada desires to be very
friendly as to northwestern conditions,
and there is a disposition to cooperate
so as to further the best interests of
all concerned. 1t is stated that in i'm
posing the 10 per cent royalty on the
gold output equally on Canadians and
Americans the United States can have
no cause or complaint.

A SWIFT BATTLESHIP.
Japan's New Fighting Machine Is
the Greatest Ever Built.

Washington, Aug. 17.-Officials of the
navy department were very much inter-
ested in the report of the trial of the
Yashima. the new Japanese battleship
built in England. She is the fastest bat
tleship afioat and it is claimed from the
showing made on her trial trip that she
is one of the greatest fighting machines
ever built. She is 1927 feet long with II
feet beam and 1858 feet draught and has
12,4O0 tons displacement. Under one
half air pressure for four hours she made
1922 knots per hour, and for single
hour 1916 knots.
Naval officers say there is no equal to
her in point of speed and while there is
some discussion as to the amount of coal
she will consume. there seems to be no
question as to her splendid type.

TOBACCO RELEASED.
We!lcr's Prohibition VIII Not Apply
10 United States Citizens.

Consul General Lee has cabled the State
Department that the Spanish authorities in
Cuba have released the large quantity Of
toba eco belonging to Salmon Brothers of
New York, which has been held for a long
time under the order of Weylor al Havana.
This leaves but enc lot of tobacco belong
ing to American merchants now under de.
tention. Only one other American firm,
Bauridel & Co. of New Orleans. has not
had the restriction removed from its to-
bacco, but the evidence in this case is
similar to that which secured favorable
consideration of the Salmon claims. its re-
lease Will probably be a matter of a short
time. The tobacco of the Salmon and Bau-
ricel firms was seized on the ground that il
had been purchased after Weyler decree
of May 16, 1s:6, forbidding the expectation
OF leaf tobacco, had been issued. This de-
cree applied to the provinces OF Pinar del
Rio and Havana. Both firms cuntended
that they had made the purchase in those
provinces prior TO the order, but IL was
only recently that they could produce cor
robCrative evidence.
Weyler's prohibition is still in force but
its application TO United States citizens Will
cease with the release of the Bauridel to-
bacco.
