9:35 A. M.-Francisco Reyes, the
man who recently purchased Span
ish gunboats at Zamboanga' Island
NJ Nindanao. has received advices
TO the effect that the fleet sailed for Ma
Mia and returned a few days later with
the vessels stripped Of their guns and
ammunition.
The purchasers agents and native
crews for the vessels, on board the
American steamer Butuan. were con-
veyed 10 Zamboanga by the United states
cruiser Boston and were instructed 10

WERE AFRAID TO TELL.
Witnesses Of Lake City Lynching Say
Their Evidence was Untrue.

CHARLESTON, S. c.. April ia num-
ber of witnesses testified for the govern
ment in the Lake City lynching case to-
dav. NJ. B. Springs returned 10 the stand
for cross-examination. He had sworn
that Stokes told him of the plan to XIII
Baker and asked him TO join the MOD.
II was shown he had been member OF
the coroners jury which brought In
verdict that Baker came to his death at
the hands of unknown parties. He said
he was afraid 10 tell the jury what he
knew about the case.
George Jeffords testified that Joyner'
one of the defendants. told him there
we're only nine men at the lynching, and
that Mcknight. another defendant, killed
Baker. He was subjected TO a rigid
denomination. but stuck 10 this story.
Henderson Williams, negro, swore
that he went towards the postoffice while
ii was burning. He met seven men COM
ing away from It, They all had guns and
he recognized Moultrie Eppes, defend
ant. among them.
Henry Burgess. another negro. said he

PENDANTS. in the party of lynchers they
met near the postoffice.
These men swore before the coroner
they knew nothing about the crime They
said to-day they were afraid to tell the
truth at Lake City.
INSPECTOR Move told how he worked up
the case against the men now on trial.
The gcvernemnt will probably rest its
case tomorrow. after a few minor wit
nesses have been examined. The defense
has seventy odd witnesses that VIII be

The theory Of the defense will be that
Baker was killed by men from the country
near Lake City. Alibis will be set up for
