Il. NJ. CLARK'S TRIAL.
The Former Bridgeport Bank Cashier
Before the United States Court.
Technicality Presented.

Special to the Register.
Columbus, Ohio, June 5.-The case
Of Harry NJ. Clarke, charged with en-
beZzling IS, COO from the Bridgeport Ma
tional Bank, was called in Lifted
States Court to-day, but did not reach
a hearing upon merits.
There were many Bridgeport people
in the court room. Judge j. B. briggs,
of Bridgeport, and Judge Geo. B. Okey,
CT Columbus, defended Clarke
When the case was called, Judge
briggs moved to quash the indictments
on grounds that each count charged
more than one offense The case was
fought over all afternoon by counsel
the arguments attracting universal at
tention from leading attorneys.
The decision to quash goes over until
Friday morning, but the Judge indI-
Gated that he would only instruct the
prosecution to elect which of the Of
lenses charged they would attempt to
prove in each indictment, if he found
the indictment was faulty on account of
duplicating charges.
The case will be heard upon its merits
Friday, in all probability.

SCHLEY'S TRIBUTE
To the Bravery of Lieutenant Hobson

Sunday, June 8, a p. mo-, via Kingston,
Jamaica, Monday, June 6, (9:55 p. M
Commodore Schley paid beautiful
tribute to the valor of Lieut. HObSOn and
the gallant crew of the collier Merrimas
as he sat out on the after deck of the
flagship Brooklyn, lying five miles off
Santiago de Cuba, on Sunday afternoon
talking with correspondent of the Assoc
ciated Press. Pointing toward the grey
walls of Moro Castle, where Lieut. Hob
son and his brave men were said to be
incarcerated, the Commodore spoke as
follows:
History does not record an act of finer
heroism than that of the gallant men
who are prisoners over there. | watched
the Merrimac as she made her way to
the entrance of the harbor and my heart
sank as l saw a perfect hail of fire that
fell upon those devoted men. ! did not
think 1t was possible one of them could
have gone through it alive. They went
into the jaws of death. 1t was Balaklava
over again without the means of de-
Tense which the light brigade had. Hob
son led a forlorn hope without the power
to cut his way out. But fortune once
more favored the brave, and I hope he
will have the recognition and promotion
he deserves. His name will live as long
as the heroes of the world are remem-
bered."

the island of Cuba and the outer world
was severed yesterday The Kingston
Santiago cable was cut on Monday, and
the Marblehead, Yankee and st. Louis
cut the Haytien cable, running into
Guantanamo bay, yesterda'. The ends
were buoyed and Rear Admiral Samp-

Santiago de Cuba is on the verge of

for the army and navy and the troops and
sailors are on half rations.
Rear Admiral Sampson has officially de-
cfared that the purpose of the lombard
ment of Santiago de Cuba was to clear
the way for the troops. The object has
been attained.
The Admiral has personally commended
Ensign Palmer for approaching within
$50 yards of the Spanish batteries at night
and learning that the Spaniards were re-
mounting guns.

ious to bring about the exchange of Lieut..
Hobson and his gallant companions of

Vixen with a flag of truce. to the en-
trance of the harbor yesterday, offering,
to exchange for the Lieutenant and his
party some prisoners taken from a prize

miral Cervera considered the matter all
night and sent word to-day that he is
powerless to act. He referred the matter
to the military governor, and the latter
in return referred it to Captain General
Blanco. A long delay Is probable.

Madrid, May 29.-The correspondent
here of the Associated Press has had
an interview with Senior Sagasta the
president of the council of ministers,
at his office in the presidency. The ap-
pointment, fixed by courteous note
from the president himself, was for
half-past seven last evening.
AS the correspondent entered the
prime minister's sanctum, the premier
politely arose, and pointing to an arm
chair separated from him only by the
corner of the writing table, begged him
to be seated.
The correspondent said:
'Sr, l want to ask your views on five
points. | shall keep the fifth in re-
serve, as it is in the nature of a re-
quest; the other four are:
The cabinet difficulty said to exist
between Seniors Gamazo and Puigcer-
yer; the real reason for Senior Leon y
Castillos return to Paris; the truth as
to the foregn relations Of Spain-is she
or is she not seeking alliances? And
what are the prospects of peace?
Senior Sagasta replied:
"The second, third and fourth all
somewhat bear on the same subject
foreign relations. At the present deli
cate juncture | do not feel justified in
speaking thereon. With respect to
peace prospects, information could be
more easily obtained in Washington
than Madrid, since here there was no
desire for war. Spain has been driven
into war in defense of her rights and
national existence. The United States
were the aggressors, and it is for them
TO say when peace shall prevail
''As regards the cabinet discussion
the question between Seniors Gamazo
and Puigcerver was purely an academic
one and l have sufficient confidence in
their patriotism to say that they will
not discuss it SO as to bring about dis
union in the cabinet at time when
the country is in danger Such sahol-
aStic difference of opinion will I'M
doubtedly be left for discussion in
quieter times and will not be heard OF
while we are before the enemy"
No" the premier added emphatic
ally, Il am sure you will find rumor is
wrong in supposing there is any dan
ger of a cabinet crisis arising on this
score
When the premier had paused after
his last remark he smiled kindly and
said:
Now, what about the fifth subject
on which you wished to speak? A ia
vor you wanted, was it not?"
ct isl the correspondent replied,
"and a very great one. 1T is no less
than to ask can your excellency to OBJ
tain for me, as a journalist, an inter-
view with her majesty, the Queen Re-
CENT?"
The premier opened his eyes with
surprise and said:
What you ask is quite impossible.
| quite appreciate the good intentions
you have; but were the Queen to grant
one interview it would be difficulty to
refuse granting others. Her majesty
has consistently refused to see journal
lists in interviews for press purposes,
and is determined to maintain that re-
solution"
The inevitable was accepted by the
correspondent, who thanked the pre-
mier for the kindness he had shown
him.
The premier listened with courtly
dignity, and, as the door to which he
had led the correspondent closed, the
prime minister of Spain remarked:
MAY you go with God"
