Theodore Durrant VIII Not BE Hung Untn
July o.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 10.-Govenor
Budd has granted a stay in the execu-
tion OF Durrant, fixing July 9 as the
date, and gives as reason for his
action that the legal points could tnot
be decided before the time fixed for
the execution tomorrow. He has ad-
vised, however, that it might take 30
days to decide, even though the quo
tations be presented at once to the
supreme court, hence the reprieYe was
deemed necessary.
The governor has stated that it is his
intention to let the law take its course
against the murderer of Blanche La
mont. This, he said, when he decided
not to Interfere in behalf of the con-
demned man. Now he Gays that the
sentence must be carried out or he
must learn that the federal courts have
the right to interfere with the state
courts in cases such as the one at issue.

We trust, however, it will come in
broken doses.

flood has been running about eight

it is still going by them.

shown by the instructions of Secretary

Although it appears that these inslruc-

In the premises, 1t is possible that Minis

the report that Lord Salisbury has sent
an unfavorable answer to n suggestion
that the United States should Interfere.
the fact being that he has not replied at
all to the attempt of our ambassador to
sound him on the subject, and that his
attitude gives reason to believe he will
not oppose such action as our interests
may make necessary.
Minister Woodford's instructions are
to intimate to Spain that the United
States will intervene unless the situation
in Cuba speedily improves. This, in
effect, was the instruction which was
given to Mr.. Gushing by Mr. Fish. and it
is understood that the attitude of the
