READY PUT IN EVIDENCE
His Testimony Gees to Show the
Alleged Fact That His Relations
With Mrs. Stocking Were Friend
1y After the Time She Had Writ
ten Him That She Could Not Again
Live With Him.

In the Stocking case yesterday the
defense of the plaintiff to the charge
made in the demand for a cross bill
was begun. 1t was demonstrated that
Mr.. Stockings case will be denial of
the charge Of an existent disease that
would be a cause for divorce. When
Mr.. Stocking himself took the stand
he proceeded to give such testimony as
would go to show that Mrs. Stocking
was not disaffected to him herself, but
that she was influenced by her people
in separating from him.
The morning session in Judge Lewis
court was given up to more of the I'M
printable expert testimony that was ad.
duced on the previous day.
DR.. Day, who had been the family
physician of Mr.. Stocking for a quar-
ter of a century, went on the stand,
and said in effect that he had exam
ined the physical condition Of the plain
tiff May 8, 1896, and that at that time
he gave no evidence of suffering from
the disease in question. This was i'm
portant, in view Of the fact that the
marriage took place but two weeks be-
fore.
DR.. Wheaton said that the conditions
testified to as being proof of the pres
ence Of infection by the disease, given
by Drs. Lufkin, Butler and Allen,
would not really indicate the presence
of the disease, the testimony being a
body blow for the contention Of Mr..
Tighe. The doctor said that the con-
dition of Mr.. Stockings mouth would
simply show the presence of stomatitis.

CITY TREASURES BOND.
Question of n Surety Company Agar
Discussed.

The assembly committee on ways and
means discussed the question of the city
treasurer furnishing a surety bond for an
hour or more yesterday afternoon. and then
adjourned until this afternoon when the con-
sideration of the subject will be renewed.
Under the charter the treasurer is obliged
to give bond in the sum of 100000. the
sureties to be passed on by the council
The legislature in 1893 however passed
law allowing surety bonds in cases Ct this
kind to be accepted in place of personal
bonds.
City Treasurer Horst informed the council
that he had received a communication from
the United States Fidelity company, of BALI
more. offering to furnish bond for 81. eco
for the first year and $3.50 for the second
year.
The American Bonding and Trust company
and the Fidelity and Deposit company bo.h
of Baltimore. also submitted to the COM
mittee. proposition to jointly furnish
bond for 81, 500 per year.
The committee discussed the propositions.
and as there seemed to be a wide difference
in the premium to be paid. laid the matter
over until this afternoon.
Corporation Attorney Markham informed
the committee that the premium could be
paid from the fund Of $4,000 which is set
apart each year in the tax budget for the
best interests CT the city.

BLANCO FIXING FORTS.
The Captain General Preparing to
Defend Havana.


KEY WEST, Fla, June IA warship
just in from the blockade reports that
on Sunday morning a small Spanish
gunboat came out of Havana and ran
along the line of batteries close in
shore. Yesterday she again came out,
venturing over two miles from land.
She was chased and one shot was fired
at her, whereupon she scudded back to
port.
On Monday night, a warship of the
blockade squadron approached within
five miles of Havana, clearly distin-
gushing whole rows of lighted streets,
thus contradicting the rumors of Hava-
ma being in darkness. The commander
of the warship said new Notifications
are in course of construction on Nor
70 heights.
The Uncas which arrived this morn
ing, reports that on Monday last, when
about mile and half west of Matan-
zas light house, she sighted a Spanish
block house on shore. Taking up a
position about 600 yards off shore, the
Uncas fired two shots at the house
and the two shells went clear through
the building, which was wrecked.
