COURT MARTIAL IN A CORNER.
Col. Barr 20 Call Witnesses He
Knows VIII Refuse 10 Testify.

New York, March 1.-Col. Barr's an
nouncement TO the court martial this
morning that he had met with serious
obstacles in getting witnesses here TO tes-
tfy, was what had been expected. These
are the banking officers of the Union
Trust Company, the Knickerbock Trust
Company and one other similar instltu-
ton, IN spite of whose refusal he is going
TO put them on the stand tomorrow and
next day, and have their refusal so on the
record.
Col, Barr charged broadly before the
court to-day, that in the case of one
banking institution. counsel other than
its own had instructed its officers not 10
testify. This bank, It is understood has
consented to give any testimony as to ac-
counts Il may have had with Capt. Car
ter, but viii refuse 10 give any informa-
tion as 10 those of any others of its
clients. There is no doubt that the ac-
counts of Capt, b. ID. Green, and Col
John F. Gaynor are what the Judge Ad-
vocate is after, but It is apparent from
his own statement to the court that he is
going TO meet with refusals on all sides
when he calls for this testimony
Col. Barr's threat made in Savannah,
TO invoke Congress or the civil courts In
case witnesses persisted in their refusal
to testify, seems to have taken shape in
the congressional resolution calling for
an investigation of the Garter mat
ter, and the expenditure of money
for the Savannah harbor improvements
and In his brief address to the court this
morning, Col. Barr practically expressed
confidence that the resolution would pass,
and that this testimony he desires will
come out In that way
ut will have to come out sooner or la
ter" he said, referring to the testimony,
which he expected to get here, and the
means of bringing It out, which he referred
to, was congressional action.
There is a strong belief among Capt
Carters friends that the prosecution Is
responsible for the congressional resolu-
ton, and that 1t Is the result Of the re-
fusal on the part Of three Of the Savannah
witnesses to answer the questions put
them. Capt Carter's attorneys are entire
ly In the dark as to what TO look for here
though there is a definite idea that the
Judge Advocate is after the bank accounts
of the members Of the Atlantic Contract
Ing Company, as well as those of Capt
Carter, and, perhaps also, II he can lay
hold of them, Of the affairs of the Empire
Construction Company. ]. f. J..

SPAIN'S LACK OF SUCCESS.

United states Expired Yesterday "A
Lie out of the Whole CIOth-NO
Limit Ever Fixed and No NegOtin-
tiOns I'm Progress for an Extension.
Recent Negotiations Confined 10
the Commercial Treaties.
Washington, March 1-Concernlpg the
published report that the limitation of
time suggested by the United States to
Spain for the pacifcaton of Cuba expired
to-day, March l, and that the Spanish
| government was now earnestly negotlat-
ing al Washington to secure a two months
extension of time, an official, whose po-
sition makes him completely familiar with
all such negotiations, said: THE report Is
absolutely false In every particular. No
time limit expires to-day or at any other
specified time, and for that reason there
are no negotiations in progress or con-
templated for a two months extension or
for any other extension. The report Is
an invention throughout"
Recent negotiations between the United
States and Spain have been confined TO
the proposed commercial arrangements he
tween this country and Spain, and also be-
tween this country and Cuba These ne
gotiations were carried well along by Min
lister Woodford, and Senor Polo y Bernabe,
the new minister from Spain. The latter
sailed from Gibraltar yesterday, and Il Is
understood he has with him the draft of
the new arrangement with Spain.
FTbpra III ha tVrrn
one between the United States and Spain
concerning their commercial exchanges,
and the other relating exclusively to the
trade between Cuba and the United States.
Under the autonomous plant granted to
Cuba, the Spanish government has given
the Cubans the right to frame their own
tariff arrangements with the United
States, subject to the approval of the i'm
perial government Under this authori-
ty the autonomous cabinet has named a
commissioner to come to Washington and
conclude the agreement He is expected
about the time that the new Spanish min
ister arrives, so that the negotiation Of
both agreements will proceed together. AS
the United States cannot deal directly with
Cuba owing to their colonial status, the
agreement nominally Will be between the
United States and Spain, although the
terms will be made by the Cuban autono-
mists and their commissioner. 1t will be
under the reciprocity clause of the Dingley
tariff act, which permits a 20 per cent. re-
duction of duty in exchange for conces-
sions to the United States The reduc
tions affecting Cuba would be mainly those
on raw sugar, while the equivalent reduc-
tions for the United States would be main
y on flour, breadstuffs, manufactured
goods and machinery

Madrid, March 1.-The premier Senior
Sagasta, is quoted, in an interview, as

news from Cuba before April.
In the course of the same interview
Senior sagasta said: "In view of the In

Greater anxiety is visible here in regard
to the verdict of the United States naval
