DE LONE ANXIOUS.
Request From Spain to See the Or
ders to the Maine.


WASHINGTON, Jan. "a. - Minister
de Lone called at the state department
about 3 o'clock this afternoon In pur-
suit of information concerning the
movements of the Maine He asked
and was freely permitted to see the or
ders sent to Admiral Sicard directing
the Maine to proceed to Havana. The
Maine has just joined the North At
lantic squadron, and for this reason
ali orders go to her through Admiral
Sicard. The fact that the Spanish min
lister was shown the orders is regarded
as an indication that there is nothing
of a threatening or belficose nature in
them. The navy department received
information during the day that the
squadron had sailed from Key West
to the Tortugas. this being in accord
ance with the original programme
when 1T was ordered South.
Minister de LONE, when questioned
regarding the sailing of the Maine, said
it was entirely in accord with usage
for war ships of two friendly powers
to enter and leave each others ports
The war ships Of Spain had visited
American ports on complimentary mis-
sions three times in as many years
and, If there had not been an Ameri-
can war ship in Havana in the same
length Of time, it was merely because
the United States government had not
seen fit to order one there. AS to the
possible consequences of the Names
appearing at Havana at this time, the
minister expressed himself as not at all
uneasy. There was no doubt, he said
of the conservative behavior of the
loyal Spanish population in Havana
and elsewhere, and the only remote
contingency which might lead to I'M
pleasant consequences was some overt
act upon the part of the insurgent
sympathiZers, committed with the hope

POWERFUL FLEET.
Ships That Are Ready to Follow the
Maine to HAVANA

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-Never be-
fore has the majesty of the United
states been represented by so large
and powerful a fleet of Warships as
that now gathered off the extreme
southern coast of Florida within direct
striking distance Of the island of Cuba.
Whether the ships are called into ac-
ton or not, an examination of the
squadron now engaged ostensibly in
drill, but really in watching the prog
ress of events across the narrow
channel which separates the Dry Tortu-
gas from Havana shows that it was not
collected for dress parade purposes.
For a year the navy department. has
been preparing for this very emergency
and the result is a fleet such as has
never been seen before ready for sery~
Ice in American waters
The North Atlantic squadron, now
under command of Admiral Sicard
with headquarters at Tortugas and a
telegraph address at Key West, is
made up of the battleships Indiana,
Iowa and sachusetts, the second
class battleships Maine and Texas, the
monitor Terror, the armOred cruisers
New York and Brooklyn, the cruisers
Detroit and Montgomery, and the tor
pedo boats, Cushing, Dupont, Ericsson,
Foote and Porter, with the dynamite
cruiser NeSuVluS ana the little dis
patch boat Fern.
There is not a back number In the
fleet. With the exception of the Cush-
ing torpedo boat, which was put into
service in 1890, not ship IN the fleet
has been in commission five years.
They are the flower of the new navy
and the sixteen fighting machines are
manned by 337 officers and 1884 men
besides the marines. The batteries of
the heavy ships are simply tremendous.
When in action the fleet will be throw
Ing shells from seventy eight rifed
guns with an addition of fifty rapid
firing rifles. All this is for long range
business and is in addition to the sec
ondary batteries of low calibered guns.
The torpedo fleet is armed with fifteen
eighteen-inch Whitehead torpedoes and
the ships themselves are fitted with
tubes for sending out twenty-three
more, making a total effective battery
of twenty-three marine engines, be-
sides the Vesuvius mounting three
dynamite guns.

LONG-wINDED ARGUMENTS.
Hearing In the Durham Case Not
Yet Ended.

A. NJ Harrison commenced the arguments
in favor of a new trial for Aid. George A.
Durham yesterday morning, with a score of
books containing his authorities. His first
point was that the indictment was not specific
enough to who the agreement was made
with.
Mr.. Harrison used all the morning hours
in his arguments, and had not finished when
noon arrived. He took up each of his
many grounds in order and argued at length
upon each. He made his strongest point
upon the fact that in his exceptions to the
panel, the court had ruled against him, with
out any objections or denials of the chal-
lenge upon the part of the court. In the
minutes of the proceedings there was no
record of the denial of the challenge, and
hence the challenge as far as the records
went, stood admitted.
The fact that Judge Smith had ordered the
grand list of jurors kept secret was enlarged
upon, and it was error he claimed, that it
had been necessary to obtain an order of court
before the list could be examined;
This court has never denied you that
right" said Judge Elliott.
Il was referring to Judge Smith," said Mr..
Harrison. This court has never denied US
access to the record spoken Of
In the afternoon, the attorney took up the
alien juror question, and produced several
authorities to uphold his position that the
fact that q juror who was not a citizen, had
been one Of the men to pass upon the YER
dict, made the verdict of no avail. He de-
pended chiefly upon the Illinois decisions.
These pointed to the claim that in the case
Of a felony, the right to a trial by twelve
jurors could not be waived.
do you mean to claim that such is the
law of Minnesota now?" asked the court.
1T is except as to misdemeanors," was
the reply.
us there any difference in that, between
a misdemeanor and a felony?" asked the
court
II think there is" was the reply.
Some Michigan decisions were found, which
held that alien a jury vitiated the
finding, because at the best 1t the same
as If but eleven men had been sitting upon
the jury. The same decisions held that in
criminal cases. a defense could not waive the
right to challenge.
Passing from the particular points upon
which error was claimed, Mr.. Harrison argued
upon every phase of the evidence, taking up
the time until o'clock. He made the broad
claim that the evidence was insufficient for
the jury to find a verdict of guilty upon. In
referring to the misconduct of the county at
torney in summing up tn, Ase he remarked
that Jurors Armitage and Campbell were the
"allies' of the county attorney, and that they
had used as the point upon which conviction
secured the claim Of a combine in
the council, which, he claimed, was improper,
as there was no proof to that effect. 1t was
the combine" idea that was used by the al
lies Of the county attorney on the jury, to
bring about the result.
Mr.. Harrison will finish his argument this
morning, after which Mr.. Peterson will argue
the case for the state, and the matter will be
submitted

the protection Of American interests
Senator Morgan said that Germany had
shown the United States the way by
sending her warships to Havana and
was evidently badgering this govern

was particularly pleased to hear the
news. He said he wished the Texas and
the other vessels of the squadron would
be ordered to follow the Maine. Sena-
tor Cullom said: II am glad to hear
1t. 1 hope the Maine will be followed
by other vessels" Senator Teller said
he would like to see the harbor Of
Havana filled with American ships.

pened with the Baltimore's crew during

In response to an inquiry, the minis
ter said that it was not customary and
part OF diplomatic usage for one
country to notify the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of another in advance that 1t
intended TO send a war vessel to the

The statement of Minister de LONE
makes 1t apparent that the Spanish
