United States circuit court today refused
TO compel Attorney Robert NJ. Morse of

the outgrowth of the litigation over the

poena and there refused to accede to a
demand 10 produce the papers. Con-
tempt proceedings We're then brought in
the circuit court. Mr.. Morse's defense be-
ing that he could not be compelled to pro-
duce the papers so long as he held lien

A NEEDLESS SLAUGHTER,
But the Marines Will Fight It
Ont

Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.)
On Board the Associated Press Boat
Dandy, Guantanamo Bay, June Is, 3
p. M, via Kingston, Jamaica, June IA,
11:4O a. m.-Every man in Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet is anXiOuSly awaiting
the soldiers, for it is recognized that
no decisive movement is possible until
the troops effect a landing. At no place
are the troop ships more anXiously
watched for than on the -bliStered
hilltop where Lieutenant Colonel Hunt
ington'S 600 marines lie in rifle pits,
under almost continuous hail of Span
ish bullets. Forty-eight hours of prac-
tically ceaseless fighting has well nigh
wrecked the men, who arrived here in
capacitated for active field duty by the
long wait on the Panther.
With few exceptions, however, the
marines showed spirit under the per-
sistent fire of the Spanish bushwhack-
ers, the officers particularly exhibiting
the GOODNESS and nerve of seasoned
campaigners.
Today the work has been the lightest
since the landing on Friday, the Span
iardS having fired few shots since day
break. Whether the enemy has been
driven back to the city Notifications,
or has merely retired for the day, can
not be told until the darkness has ar
rived.
A grim touch of realism was added
to the warlike scenes when the flags
on land and on the warships were plac
ed at half mast at noon today. and gal
liant Sergeant GoOde was buried on the
hillside, scarcely 20 PAGES from the spot
where he fell last night. The burial
services were impressive, as the men
felt that their situation was desperate,
and openly said that they eXepcted to
be gradually slaughtered until the ar
rival of the troops.
The men freely criticise the policy
which compels them to hold a position
that could be re-taken, they say, by
half an hours Smelling, but not the
faintest disposition is manifested to do
than to fight it out.
The Dolphin arrived late last night
and spent he greater part of the fore
noon in pitching shells into the Spanish
block house believed to be the rendez-
vOus of the Spaniards on a hill a mile
and a half east of the American posi-
ton. What damage was done, it is i'm
possible to learn

will leave tomorrow. Brigadier Gen
eral Greene will command the fleet and
his adjutant general will be Captain
Bates of the Seventy-first New York
regiment.
Up to o'clock this evening none of
the transports had left their docks for
anchorage in the stream, the work Of
assigning the soldiers and loading of
supplies and the trimming of cargoes
not having been completed, but the yes
sells Will probably go into the stream
some time this evening.
1t has been given out that the vessels
will get away for Manila tomorrow
some time, but from unofficial sources
it is learned that much remains to be
done before the fleet can take it's depar-
ture and that Thursday will probably
be the day finally set for the COM
mencement of the Journey.

CONFLICTING REPORTS.
Some Very Doubtful Stories Emanat-
ing From Cape HaYtien.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
Cape Haytien. June il, $40 D. M
The United States auxiliary cruiser St.
Louis and several dispatch boats, it is
reported here, brought to Mole st. Mich
oias today, a stody that a landing was
effected by the Americans late Mon
day near Guantanamo According to
this account the Americans took pos
session of a fortified position command
ing a portion Of the port, but the Span
ish rallied and attacked the invading
force, finally dislodging it and retaking
the post.
This information does not tally with
a cablegram received Sunday night by
United States Minister Powell, which
asserted that 5000 Americans had land
ed at Santiago bay without encounter
ing serious opposition.

ST. CLAIR RESENTENCED.
Murderer of Charles Decker Will
Hang June "a.
Especial to The Herald.)

Boise, Ida, June 14-Judge Stewart
today sentenced H. c. st. Clair to hang
on June "a. at Idaho CITY. st. Clair is
convicted of the murder of Charles
Decker, the Spokane mining man, in
Long Valley, on Oct. "a. 1897.
When st. Clair came into the court
room he was as pale as death, and tot
tered noticeably. He is still suffering
from the effect of the wounds inflicted
by knife and revolver in the hands Of
Guard McQuillan six weeks ago, when
ST Clair attempted to escape. Some
express the belief that he will die be-
fore the date of the execution The
only remark st. Clair mad, after the
judge had finished was that the time
was very short.
