The City bank case was long on
judges yesterday, no less than four Of
them being called by the defense. They
were ex-Judge w. j, Lewis, ex-Judge
w. II. Jessup, eX-Judge Il. N. Willard
and Judge II. NJ. Edwards.
Judge Lewis testified as to declara-
ton by Assignee Gunster to the effect
that a full settlement of Cashier Jes-
eup's Indebtedness had been made.
Louis n. Kramer, who was another
member of the depositors' prosecuting
committee, corroborated Judge Lewis.
Judge Jessup testified that Assignee
Gunster told him the amount of the
defaulting cashiers Indebtedness and
that it would all have to be paid be-
fore the criminal proceedings could be
stopped. He then went on to relate
how he paid Sl1,250 out of his own
private funds to apply on the indebted
ness, and how Squire Beardsley and
others made up the remainder, and that
when it had all been paid the prose-
cution was withdrawn.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-04-01
JUDGE WILLARD ON THE STAND,

Judge Willard gave testimony along
the same line He was attorney for
Judge Jessup in the proceedings for
settlement of the criminal action
against George y. Jessup. Through
various sources enough money was
raised to pay off all but $4,000 of the
Indebtedness. DIR. Throop had $4,000
to his credit in the bank, and, at Judge
Wizards suggestion, he assigned $25-
900 of it to the assignee to be applied
in reducing the Jessup indebtedness.
This wiped out the whole debt, and the
eIabezzlement proceedings were with
drawn.
The PLAINTIFFS attorneys, Messrs.
Price and Welles, tried to bring out
on cross-eXamination that the $4,000
assignment was to be applied to the
reduction of the banks deposits and
not to the wiping out Of the cashiers
indebtedness.
Judge Edwards was called to show
that while acting as district attorney
in 1885, petitions were presented TO him
by the assignee and others declaring
that the entire Indebtedness of George
A. Jessup had been wiped out, and
asking that a mol pros be entered in
the embezzlement case. The testimony
was objected to, and Judge Albright
declared 1t immaterial. The witness
returned to No. l court room, where
he was presiding in case.
The suit has reached the Tebuttal
stage, and may get TO the jury this af-
ternoon.

Port au Prince June 1.-Hayti, $3.50
a. m.-The following additional details
have been received here from Spanish
sources at Havana of the engagement
OIL Santiago yesterday:
'The Spanish batteries first answered
the fire of the American squadron in a
lively manner After 20 minutes firing,
directed in superior manner upon the
part of the American fleet, the Spanish
batteries began to weaken and the
American ships concentrated violent
fusilade on Ell MORO battery, destroying
itcompletely. The forts at Zacopa and
Punta Gorda fired the last shots"
The Spanish less must have been con
siderable. Details are lacking as to the
American loss. The Spanish pretended
to have struck the American vessels
several times, but this information Is
accepted here under reserve. At
o'clock yesterday afternoon the Amer
ican squadron ceased firing, as there
were no Spanish vessels in sight.

the western side OF the mouth of San
tiago channel, opening fire from the first

fire of the American feet was answered
by the MORO, Zacopa and Punta Gorda
batteries and by the cruiser Cristobal
Colon.
The American fleet fired seventy
shots with projectiles without causing
the least damage. The bombardment
lasted ninety minutes, and the American
fleet retired with transatlantic steamer,
auxiliary cruiser, damaged. Two shells
were seen to explode on the lowa's
stern, and there was fire on board an
other battleship. Several proiectiles fell
inside the harbor near the Spanish
ships. There is great enthusiasm at
Santiago de Cuba and here.

DEWEY A GOOD AMERICAN.

Admiral-A ROYAL Apology.

Chicago. June 1.--Charles N. Post
vice president of the Lyon & Healy
company, who has just returned from
an extended tour in the Orient, met Ad-
miral Dewey at Hongkong on March
rs. Mr.. Post tells of social passage
at arms between Dewey and Prince
Henry, brother of Emperor William,
commanding the German squadron at
Hongkong. Prince Henry, Immediately
after his arrival at Hongkong, gave q
banquet to the higher officers of the
other fleets, among whom was>Admiral
Dewey.
At the feast the prince proposed q
toast to his own country, then to Great
Britain, then to all other great powers
except the United States. Finally just
before dinner was over the royal host
proposed toast to his country. When
Admiral Dewey saw that apparently his
country was to be slighted, he left the
banquet without ceremony. Next day
a representative of Prince Henry sent a
roundabout apology to Dewey, but he
sent back word that he would accept
nothing but written or personal apol-
ogy from the prince. The latter then
called upon Dewey and apologized,
saying in the confusion of the din
ner he thoughtlessly neglected to put
the American toast in its proper place
Oh the program. :.
Afterwards Primes Hanrf gave a ball

SCHLEY'SPIRSTFIGHT'

Repulsed-- Three Spanish Cruisers
in Santiago de Cuba Bay Sure.
CHANNEL GREATLY
OBSTRUCTED
Four Rows Of Mines Across Entrance to
Harbor- Hot, Hotter, Hottest Coal
ing in Full View Of Spanish
Batteries.

New York, June IA dispatch to
the World from Port Antonio, Jamaica,
says:
The first engagement between
Schley's squadron and the Spanish
ships of Cervera took place Sunday
night at midnight.
Two torpedo boats made desperate
effort to destroy the American ships.
They cleared the harbor, creeping along
In the shadow of Moro castle and the
mountains at the entrance to the har-
Dor. They had travelled two miles to
the westward when the officer on the
deck of the Texas sighted them through
his night glasses, two search lights Of
the Texas were turned ON them and the
next instant the men who had been
sleeping at loaded guns were aroused
and at work.
Flashing lights told the Spaniards
that they were discovered and they
made quick rush toward the Brooklyn
and Texas. Before their bows had
swung around the crews Of the forward
batteries of the Texas were pumping steel
at them. The rapid fire guns were
used
The din alarmed the whole feet. The
machine guns OF the Brooklyn were at
work q few seconds after those of the
Texas started In. The other ships were
lying further off the shore. A call to
general quarters was sounded on each
in the belief that all of Cervera's fleet
was coming out'in desperate effort to
escape.
Search lights were played on the
waters by all of the ships. The Texas
and Brooklyn poured such furious
shower of small shells at the torpedo
boats that the latter we're forced to turn
about and seek safety in the harbor.
What damage they sustained is un-
was made. 1t is thought neither was
struck as they retreated quickly and
made small targets in the uncertain
twilight. The Spanish did not dis
charge torpedoes, though they got with
| in 500 yards of the Texas. Schley's
ships have made examinations of the
batteries and channel, revealing much
stronger guns and mines than was sup
posed. Four rows of mines have been
laid across the narrow entrance to the
harbor Early this morning the Marble
head ventured to within two miles of
the harbor and positively recognized the
cruiser Cristoyal Colon and two cruisers
Of the vizcaya type and the dismantled
cruiser Reina Mercedes, upon which
guns have been mounted, making her
q floating fort. This leaves only two
ships Of the Cape Verde squadron un-
accounted for, and Schley is sure that
they are further UP the bay. He does
not anticipate an attempt by Admiral
Cervera to break out In the face of
superior numbers and armament. Anx-
iety over the coal problem was allayed
today by the arrival of two colliers
conveyed by the New Orleans. The sea
was smooth as glass and the Iowa and
Brooklyn coaled in full view of the bat
teries. The officers and men of the
feet are affected by the intense heat.
Every aperture is closed at night to pre-.
vent the egress Of light and officers and
men sleep on deck.

for two hours, their projectiles of enor-

The masonry of zacopa and MORO was
battered almost into dust, and the Span

plainly be seen flying to safety behind

An auxiliary cruiser which joined

That the number killed and wounded

The damage done to the American

Serious Financial Condition and No Remedy

Madrid, s p. m, June 1.-The atten-

the condition of the Bank of Spain,
which is considered more serious than
any reverse of war, inasmuch as the i'm
possibility of the bank to help the gov
ernment means the impossibility to con-
tinue the war. There was long pro-
cession at the bank during the day. All
classes were represented. Many women
were in line waiting their turn to change
notes into silver, fearing that the notes
would soon be subjected to discount. If
the run continues there is danger of th
