THE GREG0RYS ARE
 FREED FROM BLAME
DISCHARGED FROM CUSTODY
 BY JUDGE MORRIS.
The District Attorney Did Not Think They Should Be Held-A Clear
 Case of Self Defense.

ALAMEDA, June 14.-It was apparent from the statements of the District At torney in summing up the Gregory case yesterday that there was no likelihood of the defendants being held for trial for the killing of Williams. He said then that there was little use in putting the county to the expense of trial whose conclu- sion was practically foregone,
 Acting upon this statement and upon his own conclusions from the evidence presented, Justice Morris this afternoon discharged both defendants from custody and they are now free from all legal blame for the death of Williams.
 As soon as they could get away from the crowd the couple went together to the home of the wife on Eagle avenue, where the tragedy occurred. It Is considered probable that they will resume their mar ital relations with each other. All through the trial there has been marked evidence of affection between them, and when Mrs. Gregory broke down her ex-husband showed her every attention and endear- ment possible under the circumstances
 The result of the examination meets with the approval of public sentiment here. Williams invaded the Gregory home and broke 1t up, and then sought to still further force his attentions upon Mrs, Gregory. That he should have met his death was only to have been expected. The fable that Williams was an English baronet is exploded by the fact that the "Peerage' does not give the name of any such person as entitled to a baronetcy. There was once Sir Hugh Williams, but

THE FRENCH PREMIER AT BAY.
ROOTED AND HAUNTED BY THE
 OPPOSITION.
Adoption of Qualified Vote of Con- fdence Will Probably Cause the Resignation of the
 Cabinet.
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

PARIS, June 1.-The Moline Minis try was defeated in the Chamber of Deputies by 296 to 246 votes, amid in tense excitement and an uproar. The House was crowded, as were the pub lie galleries.
 The Premier, M. Moline, opened the proceedings by vehemently repudiating the statement that he was engaged in an anti-democratic policy, but he de- clared that the accession of Socialists to power would spell ruin for France.
 Ex-Minister Bourgeois followed, taunting M. Moline with being unwill- ing to cut himself free from the Right ists, and several Extreme Leftists con- tinued their severe strictures of the Premiers ''undemocratic policy
 M. Ribot then delivered a warm eulogy of the Premier and proposed a vote of confidence in the Government, but it's terms elicited loud protests from the Rightists, amid general excitement
 M. Moline, however, accepted the terms of the motion, whereupon M Cassaignac charged him with throwing over the Rightists.
 The Premier retorted that he had never asked for the support of the Rightists
 The first part of M. Ribot's motion ''the chamber approving the declara- tion of the GoYernment"-Was then adopted by vote of 2S9 to 272 The second part-'is determined to put in force the policy of democratic reform based on the union of republicans was adopted by 525 to votes
 Thus far matters went comparative ly smoothly. Then M. Henri Ricardo moved to add the words, and support ed by majority exclusively repub- lican."
 M. Moline refused to accept this ad- dition. M. Ricardo insisted upon vote, and the addition was carried by 296 to 246, whereupon there was a ter rible uproar.
 The members of the extreme left arose en masse and shouted for the re- tirement of M. Moline.
 M. Berteaux yelled: Get out; you are defeated'' Others, pointing to the Ministerial bench, indulged in a chorus of "boohs." The socialists vociferated, Resign, resign"
 When a lull occurred another vote was taken on the entire motion, which M. Moline accepted, swallowing the ob- noXious addition, and the motion was adopted by 2S4 to PIP votes. The Cham Der of Deputies then adjourned until Monday.
 In the Hobbies of the chamber the opinion was freely expressed that M. Moline would resign after the council tomorrow, though nothing is certain, owing to the contradictory character of the votes

DEADLY FIRE OF
 THE AMERICAN FORCE.
Twenty-Five Spaniards Slain in the Second Fight at Guam
 tanamo

ON BOARD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH BOAT WANDA, OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, June 13, via Kingston, Jamaica, June 14.-Dur- ing the second night attack by the Spanish, which ended at daybreak, the marine held their ground against des- perate odds, and the bodies of twenty five Spaniards, including a lieutenant, were discovered, which shows how deadly was the American defense.
 Every man in Admiral Sampson's s fleet is anxiously awaiting the soldiers, for it is recognized that no decisive movement is possible until the troops effect landing. At no place are the troop ships more anxiously watched for than on the sum- -blistered hill top where Lieutenant-C Colonel Huntington's 600 marines lie in rifle pits, under almost continuous hail of Spanish bullets. Forty-eight hours of practically cease less fighting has well nigh wrecked the men, who arrived here incapacitated 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- CTS, the officers particularly exhibiting the coolness and nerve of seasoned campaigners.
 To-day the work has been the light est since the landing on Friday, the Spaniards having fired few shots since daybreak. Whether the enemy has been driven back to the city fortiIea- tions, or has merely retired for the day, cannot be told until the darkness has arrived.
 A grim touch of realism was added to the warlike scenes when the flags on land and on the warships were placed at half-mast at noon to-day and gal lant Sergeant Major Goode was buried on the hillside, scarcely twenty paces 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 they ex- pected to be gradually slaughtered until the arrival of the troops.
 The men freely criticize a policy which compels them to hold position that could be retaken, they say, by a half hours shelling, but not the faint est disposition is manifested to do otherwise than to fight it out.
 The Dolphin arrived late last night and spent the greater part of the fore noon in pitching shells into the Span ish blockhouse believed to be the ren- deZvcus of the Spaniards on a hill a. mile and a half east of the American position What damage was done it is impossible to learn.
