New York, Feb. 81 - The Spanish
cruiser Vizcaya came up the bay yes
terday afternoon, arriving in the Mar
rows at p. m, flying the American
flag frcm the main truck and preceded.
by the steam plot beat New York. On
arrival at the Narrows a salute Of twen-
ty-one guns was fired. As soon as the
salute was finished the American flag
was hauled down. Two tugs loaded
with newspaper reporters accompanied
the vessel through the Narrows. Hun
6reds of people lined the adjacent
shores. TIE soldiers at the forts could
be seen surrounding the guns on the
steep bluffs at Fort Wadsworth. The
Vizcaya anchored off Tompkinsville.

saluted the Spanish cruiser with the
customary twenty-one guns.
The most extraordinary vigilance is
being exercised by the authorities here
to prevent any one doing unto the
Eizceya the same as some people be-
lieve some Spaniard did to the Maine
The Spanish ship is surrounded by
guard boats and no one is allowed to go
near her except he is known to have
the right. Both the city and the nation
al government are engaged in this eff
fort to prevent some American from
blowing up the vessel And it is hoped
that with these precautions the Vizcaya
may be able TO safely leave these waters

NO NEW TRIAL FOR LUETGERT.
Unless the Supreme Court Of Illinois Gives
It 70 Him,

Chicago. Feb. 2l.-Adolph L. Luet-
sert's motion for new trial was denied
saturday by Judge Gary and the SEN
tence Of imprisonment for life. in ac-
cordance with the verdict rendered by
the Jurors, was pronounced. The court
refused TO petition Sheriff Pease to stay
the execution of the law and it is prob
able the convicted sausagemaker will be
taken to Joliet early this week Ninety
days were allowed Attorney Harmon
to prepare his bill Of exceptions. which
will be presented to the supreme court,
demanding a third trial of the case
The argument for new trial was
based entirely on alleged errors in the
record and on the judges treatment of
the counsel for the defense which, it
WIS plainly charged, was such as to
prejudice the jury against the de-
PENDANTS case. In response to the usual
question of the court Luetgert said:
"All have to say is. as / said on the
trial as witness, have not committed
crime. 1 am innocent. I believe the
court did not give NE a fair trial. That
is all l have to saw"

Certain Military Movements ut This Time
DO NOT Eiean War.

Washington. Feb. q. = Referring to
General Miles recent order to General
Merritt, commander of the department
of the east, to Immediately detail men
and officers to all. ccast defence points
where modern guns are mounted, 1t was
said at the war department yesterday
that while the order was issued as re-
ported it was nothing more than follow
ing out the plan of the war department
formulated several years ago when the
present system Of coast defense was in
augurated. The order calls for at least
twenty men and the necessary officers
to take charge of such coast defence
emrlacemerts as have been completed
and turned over to the war department.
These defence works are planned and
constructed by the engineer corps, and
the guns furnished by the ordnance
department. AS soon as completed they
are turned overt to the war department. and
men are at once detailed to care for
the expensive works and ordnance. It
is said that detail of twenty men so
far from being an effective fighting
force is barely sufficient to properly
care for the property. 1rere have been
a number of these coast defence works
completely recently and the order de-
failing men to care for them is merely
a routine matter.

Results Obtained by the Walk Out.
Springfield, Ills, Feb. 21.-The state
board OF labor commissioners has Just
issued a long report on the coal min
ers' strike of last year. The report says
that there were involved in the strike
20. mines and 29.i6S men. In Illinois
more meE and mines continued i'm ac-
tive service in the recent strike than in
1884. as was likewise the case in a
number of other substantially in West
Virginia, Kentucky and Iowa. The re-
suit was that at no time during the
recent suspension were the principal
markets entirely destitute of coal
The miners who participated in the
strike have since shared the benefit of
the advance in wages which has re-
suited, while at thirty:nine mines the
men continue to work with little ad-
vance and at five mines no change in
the price has been made. The average
duration of the strike in Illinois was
ninety-one days. The greatest gain
was In the northern part of the state
along the region of the Rock Island
road, where prices had been lowest.
