Savannah. Ca, March 3.--Judge En-
Dry II. Speer. of the circuit court, in
charging the grand jury at the open
ing of the term today, denounced as
disgraceful the recent court scenes in
France. when lola was berated and
insulted by n mob in the presence OF
the jury which was trying him."
Judge Speer said such thing would
be impossible in the courts of the Unit
ed States.
Continuing, the Judge said: "Ours Is
the great, strong. humane. conservative
nation" He then quoted Nelson's
famous admonition to his troops when
sailing against Spain, England this
day expects every man to do his duty"
and said the United States expects
every man to do his duty now. This
had no reference to possible war but
was regarded as significant and timely
by the auditors.

A Manifesto to Patriotic spaniards In tina
Country.

Mexico City, March 3.-The latest
Item of interest in the Arroyo murder
case appeal is the application of VIII
laviccientos's attorneys for commute
tion of death sentence for n twenty
year imprisonment. This seems to in
dicate very little confidence 80 far as
this prisoner is concerned, in the appeal
for a new trial, as twenty years is the
maximum term OF Imprisonment in
Mexico, and is only imposed in lieu of
capital punishment.
Arrangements have been concluded
between the government and Sir We'll
man Pearson, an English contractor,
whereby the latter leases the railway
across the isthmus of Tehuantepec for
ninety years.
A manifesto signed, "a Spaniard,"
has been profusely distributed in the
streets here In the porticos of the
houses and cafes. II refers to the i'm
minence of war between Spain and the
United States, and is patriotic call on
Spaniards to come to the rescue of
their country which, as the manifesto
states. has been wantonly proclaimed
by the most powerful nation. The
manifesto states that II Is for the Span
iards to prove their patriotism and self
sacrifice. The manifesto contains no
insults to Americans.

INDIAN HEAD TO GO.
Famous Rocky Emincnce to be Removed
by Dynamite.

New York. March 4.--T~dlpn Hood
hte rocky eminence which overhangs
the Hudson at a point opposite Fort
George, is to be blown up today by
means of dynamite. The blast is to be
set off by the contract of an electric
current. The rock which is to be blown
into pieces weighs about 100000 tons, and
from 5000 to 5000 tons of dynamite is
to be distributed through tunnels and
holes that have been drilled in the
rock. The displaced rock is to be used
in matchmaking roads, and thus the
picturesque formation that has over
hung the river for centuries will be
crumbled to particles and distributed
over miles of country.
Indian Head got its name because
observers fancied that 1t had the APP
pearance of an aboriginal cheftain
brodlng over the departure OF his race
and the Entertainments of civilization.
The spot has always been famous as
one of the most beautiful along the
rugged banks of the Hudson.

SIGNAL SERVICE EXPERIMENTS.
Can Flash Message from New York to
San Francisco In sig Minutes.

New York March 4.--Sergeants Clark
and Jones OF the United States signal
corps have been conducting a series
of experiments at Governors Island
that may result In a revolution of the
signal system now In use by the army
throughout the country. So far their
experiments have been successful and
they have written to Washington sug-
costing the adoption of a new appa-
lamp with an ordinary circular shut
ter. So perfect is the light thrown by
the new lamp that the sentence War
has been declared with Spain" can be
flashed from Governors Island to the
Preside at San Francisco in fewer
than six minutes, providing the neces-
sary number OF signal stations can be
placed along the line.
For number of years the officials
of the signal corps have been expert
menting with various lights with the
object of finding a fitting substitute
for the old time torch. So long as the
torch remains in use 1t will be neres-
sary to signal in accordance with the
flag system, which is slow and cumber-
some. The new lamp permits a return
to the more rapid and comprehensive
Morse code. So strong is the light
produced that signals can be flashed
thirty miles.
The lamp rests upon n tripod about
four feet high. Just in front of the
disc the circular shutter resting on an
other tripod and SO constructed that
1t opens in the center by moving n
small handle attached to the tripod.
The flashes are produced by the OPEN
ing and closing OF the shutter. The
telegraph code is based upon the dura-
tion of the opening and closing.
