 Will Resist Interference
 If an attempt should be made to inter- fere the men will be instructed to arm themselves and protect their rights. The company's agent claims that vast amount of money has been lost by American prop erty owners over there because tho Span iards would not allow them to work their plantations. They intend to place a man on every few acres, and if he stands up for his rights and works the property as 1t can be worked, he will become the absolute owner of his plantation in a few years. The company guarantees to furnish the settlers with machinery and arm them. If it be- comes necessary through Spanish inter yention.
 Mr. Patterson says he has been very sue cessful in securing men from the two Da- kotas, Montana anj Minnesota who are willing to accept of the company's fiatter- ing Inducements and claims the gigantic excursion is already an assured success.

 Maine Win Be Relieved
 The battleship Maine will be relieved from her station in Havana in the course of a few days. It was not the purpose of the navy department to keep the ship there for any length of time when she was ordered across the strait, and it is felt that the ships crew must feel un- comfortable lying close aboard ship in the harbor of Havana. The Marblehead or the Detroit, which are peter adapted to comfortable existence in such cli- mate as that of Havana than the Maine. probably will be sent to relieve the latter.

 Chairman Dingley of the ways and means committee said this was in line with the German action on fruit. A quarantine was not an absolute prohibition, however, Mr. Dingley said, and it remained to be seen whether a quarantine so vigorous as to be a prohibition would be put in force.

 The defendants ffty-seven witnesses drawn from several counties answered to their names with the exception of Mrs. Miller. Gafrord, in answer to the reading of the indictment, pleaded self-defense.
 Frank Daniel and Earle Lewis, the two young men whom Gafford halted in the road soon after the killing and to whom he admitted his act, were the first wit nesses, and they went all over again the ghastly details of the finding of the body, it's position and rhe position of the pistol, which was close to it. Along with residents in the neighborhood. they described the wounds. It was brought out that the de- fendant had asked Daniel and Lewis to oblige him by seeing Lloyd and doing any, thing that was possible for him. Charles Dees, who lives on the road between Green- vile and Lloyds home added no material fact, except that Gafferd had walked backwards and forward along the road for some time prior to the shooting.
 Attorney Richardson objected to the line of examination of the witnesses and the court sustained him. On cross-examination

 Mrs. Hartley proved a most intelligent witness on the stand. She is a cousin to the defendant.
 Line of Defense Blocked
 An attempt had been made to show that when Gafford was walking in the road he was either going to from his house at the end of a lane, which left the main road some thirty yards from the scene of the tragedy. In opposition to this the so- licitor obtained from the witness a state- ment that Gafford was then living at the home of Willie Hartley, and not at his mothers.

for q Portia by Ada Rehan. This was the
first time that she had ever played

faults, plentiful in merits. and. II this actress
should never appear in another role. a worthy
climax Of her stage career. There is no need
to go into phrases of praise in these hasty COM
ments. 1t must suffice to say that Miss
Rehan seemed to concentrate all her
maturity of skill. In the casket scenes the
volatility and buoyancy. the tenderness and
%fervor. were SO well assumed that they gave no

have not risen without palpable forcing. This
as everin those passages which drew upon good
her resources in a rather familiar way, 1t Is
not too much to say that she was better as
to elocution. as to expressive defamation, in
the trial scene than in any serious effort by her
