DEPUTIES FOUND NOT GUILTY.
Jury Unanimous for AcquitfaI ON the
First BaIIOt.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, March 9.-The jury i'm
the case Of Sheriff Martin and his deputies
charged with the killing of strikers at
Lattimer on Sept. 10, last. this morning
returned verdict of not guilty.
There was an attempt at applause, but
1t was quickly suppressed by the judge.
When the jury retired last evening they
took only one ballot, and 1t was unanl-
nous for acquittal IL Is said the jury was
prepared to render a verdict before leav-
ing the box. The ballot was taken only
for FORMS sake.
After the jury had been thanked ana
discharged by Judge Woodward, District
Attorney Martin asked that the defendants .
be required TO continue their bail bond as
there are still seventeen indictments for
murder hanging over them and thirty
eight for feloniously wounding. The bond
was continued as requested.
District Attorney Martin says he has
not decided what to do with these other
cases, but will confer with the prosecuting
committee. This committee. 1t is said, will
insist upon further prosecution.

CARTER IN NEITHER COMPANY.

for the Defendant.

James E. Chandler Good Witness
for the Defendant.
New York, March 9--At to-day's session
of the Carter court martial, Judge Advo-
cate Barr said: "sInce there has been so
much talk about Capt. Carter'e private pa
pers. wish 10 say that / have been in
structed by the Secretary OF War to keep
them as long as I like and to use them
as 1 please. am the sole Judge in the
matter"
The Judge Advocate then introduced as
evidence a number of bills paid TO Tiffany
& Co. by Capt. Carter. The bills, which
were rnoeipted, showed that purchases of
jewelry had been made by Capt. Carter.
Recelpted bills for a number OF valuable
paintings were also introduced as evil
dence.
The Judge Advocate announced that he
had received a letter from Vice President
John r. Brown of the Knickerbocker
Trust Company refusing to disclose any
thing with reference to Capt Green's ac-
count with that company.
The prosecution here requested that the
court adjourn to meet in Savannah next
Monday, but the defense objected, saying
that they had witnesses to examine In this
city who would not go to Savannah ana
the objection was sustained.
Mr.. Blair. attorney for Capt. Carter,
called John d. Cronin, manager OF an
apartment house, who said that Capt.
Green was IN Europe in March, 1895.
The evidence given by Cronin, Simon II.
Wen and Matthew Hinman, who followed
was 10 show that Capt. Green was In Eu-
rope at the time of the signing OF the
several checks which d. N. Carvalho had
testified were Illegally signed by Capt.
Green.
Cant. Carters counsel gave out a letter
from r. f. Westcott, replying to a re-
ouest that he testify. The letter, which is
dated Oct. 1s. 1897, says that Mr.. Westcott
sees no reason why he should submit his
private affairs to the court, and adds that
the condition of his health Is such that
il would be hazardous for him to go upon
the stand.
James e. Chandler secretary of the EN-
pre Construction Company and Of the At
lantic Contracting Company was then
called. 1t had been claimed by the prose
cution that Caot. Carter was connected
with both companies. The latter company
did the work at Savannah and Cumberland
sound. Witness testified that the cornpa-
nies were entirely separate and that Capt
Carter had nothing 10 do with either OF
them.
The court then adjourned until tO-mor-
| row.

onel of the volunteers assures Gen. Lee
that the consulate and the Americans
would in no event be the object OF DEM
onstration should any occur.
Gen. Lee Is no more anxious to remain
in a vexatious position than any other,
consul in Cuba, but he has no intention of
resigning, nor any belief that he win be
recalled. He is cool. good humored and
somewhat impatient of the sensational and
untruthful reports emanating from Ha-
vana or Key West.
The volunteers are apparently more
quiet since they were assured by the gov
ernment here and by Madrid officials that
there is no intention to dlsarm or disband
the corps.
The Havana battalions have been sup
ported in their protest by comrades of the
same corps throughout Cuba.
The court of inquiry pursues its taciturn
and even secretive way. The belief here
is that the court is principally engaged
now in killing time, and is not likely to so
North until next week. 1t Is certain the
members are strengthening the testimony
daily by personal observation of the wreck
and the carefully prepared plans made by
Ensign Powelson from the almost hourly
reports of the divers. The court now has
photographs, drawings and diagrams
showing as near as possible the condition
of things submarine.
What effect the presence of the Mont
gomery will have no one win be able to
tell until she has been here several days.
She is so much smaller than the Vizcaya
or the Almirante Oquendo that 1t is ap-
parent to every one that she was not sent
in a warlike mood, but only to replace the
Fern. There is no apprehension among ma
val officers that the Montgomery will
share the fate of the Maine.
With reference to the secrecy obserTed
as to the wrecklng work and portions of
the testimony before the court of inquiry,
a high naval officer says there Is no spe-
cial reason for maintaining secrecy, except
the fact that the bare statements of COM
paratively unimportant incidents are exag-
geratedsby some and worked up into dam
gerous sensational stories. In view Of this,
says the officer in question, it was deemed
best to command absolute reserve on all
parties connected with the court examina-
ton or with the work of salvage.
Senator Proctor, before leaving to-day
by the Olivette, said: you may say that
my visit, call it a mission of pleasure or
business, or what you will, has been very
successful. 1 cannot speak on political
subjects pertaining to Cuba here and now."

Key West March 9.--The British cruiser
Cordelia of the North Atlantic squadron
arrived here this afternoon from Belize,
British Honduras. No special signafi-
canoe attaches to her coming. The Cor

The Mallory liner Neuces arrived to-day
with 6O20 packages of provisions for the
starving Cubans, and 800 cases of ammuni-
ton. The ammunition was transferred
to the Marblehead and will be taken to
the Tortugas for distribution among the
warships there.
The dispatch boat Fern is hourly expect

visions will be put on board and she will
then proceed to Matanzas.

The Detroit remains in the harbor.
Tomorrow the torpedo boat Porter will

after will be brought to Key West on the
lighthouse tender Mangrove instead of the
Bache.

ever, is denied, although Admiral Sicard
declines to discuss the probabilities of his

Well-informed officers say 1t is only G
question of a short time when he will be
relieved of the severe responsibility that is
resting upon him.

natl and Brooklyn, and they are expected
to join the fleet
A letter has been received by a naval Of
ficer from an officer in Havana, saying
that the Maine officers now in that city
will leave for Key West on Saturday next
If this information is correct, it may be
assumed that the court of inquiry will
leave Havana on or about that date.

vana with the congressional party. She
will probably go to Matanzas tomorrow
