TRIAL OF MCNEM
Takes Place at Silver City On the
24th and 1t Is Believed That
the Fate OF Lee and GilIiIand
Will Depend Upon the Result.

Judge Fall and Sheriff Garrett re-
turned from Silver City Friday, where
they were called to attend the trial of
the people VS.. McNew.
The court set The case on the Sd, and
three days of warm argument ensued,
the defense demanding Immediate trial
on constitutional grounds In this
they were successful in gaining the
ear of the court and the positive hear
ing of the case will begin on the oath,
and verdict arrived at provided the
case in not dismissed by the prosecu-
tion,
The prosecution suggested that the
other cases be brought to trial at the
same time, proposition to which
Judge Fall promptly assented, when
the suggestion was as promptly with
drawn and the case will come TO trial
as dOcketed.
1t would seem that the beginning of
the end is in sight in these celebrated
cases. that have attracted wide atten-
tion all over the country. The defensa
claim to be anxious for trial and claim
that they desire to bring the matter to
q focus as soon as possible, which the
prosecution seems to agree ip,
though asking for further postpone
ment.
Many legal authorities claim that
great Importance attaches to the Nc
New case, and that it's result will in
large measure determine the others.
The eyes of the whole territory are
turned upon this matter and there will
be q large attendance at court when
the case is cal ed on the Gath. There
are questions of constitutional law and
precedent to be decided that will be of
vast Importance in the legal annals of
the southwest. From present indics-
tions every inch of ground will be
warmly contested. and the arguments
will be among the most notable in the
history of the territory.
For the interests of the people and
of all parties concerned it is sincerely
to be hoped that the end is near in this
matter 1t has been dragging along a
long time and diverting the popular
attention from more important topics,
and its disquieting Influences have
been detrimental in no small degree to
to best interests and progressive har-

NEW YORK. April 13.-The arrange
ments which have been completed for

club in celebration of Jefferson q birth
day are on a scale calculated to hear
out the assertions of the clubs mem
bers that it will be the greatest ban
quet in point of numbers and spec
tacular effects ever held in this city
of famous feasts. In these two
respects it will undoubtedly
be monster success no matter what
its effect on the future of the demo-
cratic party may be. Though ex-Sen-
ator Hill, ex-President Cleveland, ex-
Senator German, William J. Bryan
and other democrats of national pro-
minence will be conspicuous by tn cir
absence there will still be a sufficient
number of party leaders present to
give great weight to the political doc
trine and views that will be offered
across the banquet tables.
The completed list of toasts and
speakers is as follows: Congressman
Amos J. Cummings will deliver an ad-
dress on "Our Army and Navy" Ed
ward N. Shepard, ex-leader Of the in
dependent democracy, will respond to
the toast, ''Expansion." Ex-Assembly-
man John B. Stapchfield, former law
partner of David B. Hill, will talk on
Jefferson" Ex-Judge Augustus Van
Wyck, former candidate for governor,
will speak on estate Issues" Former
Assembly yman F. G. Schraub will res
pond to the toast, Democracy of the
State" Senator Thomas Grady will
speak on ''The Legislature"
1t is expected that 1,60O guests will
sit down to the tables which will be
spread in the auditorium of the
Metropolitan Opera House. Delmoni-
CO and Sherry have both been pressed
into service to prepare the feast and q
goodly proportion of the Democratic
clubs new dollar stock of
rare wines will be used to supply the
liquid refreshment.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 13.-An
inter esting time is anticipated at the |
banquet of the Jefferson club this even |
ing, inasmuch as several of those who |
have been invited are known to be hos
tile to MIR. Bryan and the silver cause. |
Mr.. Bryan himself will be the princi-
cipal speaker and a considerate COM
mittee of arrangements has placed !
him last on the list of toasts in
order that he may have an
to ''get back" in case he is
attacked by any of the speakers who
have the floor before him. Mayor
Carter 81. Harrison. of Chicago, is |
down for an address on corruption in |

GUERRILLA WARFARE
Will Be Continued In The
Hope That The Ameri-
cans Will Be Forced
Into Manila.

MANILA, April 13.-The Filipinos at
tackled an outpost of the Third artil-
lery at Malolos during the night. Two
of the Americans were killed and three
wounded.
The insurgents have evidently de-
termined upon guerrilla warfare, as
these isolated attacks by small forces
of the enemy are becoming of daily oc-
currence.
Aguinaldo's .plsn is to harass the
Americans if possible by these petty
attacks. He hopes to continue this
kind of fighting until the rainy season
sets in, in the belief that the ravages
of disease caused by the climate may
compel the Americans to withdrew
into Manila. thus leaving the Filipinos
free foot in the rest of the island.
Aguinaldo continues to treat with
severity those insurgents who wish to
surrender to the Americans. Filipino
prisoners report the execution OF six
insurgent officers including a colonel,
who had exp pressed a desire to treat
with the Americans.
MANILA, April 13.-At daylight the
Americans went after the rebels, kill
ing several of them. A Montana pri-
vate was wounded.
Spanish gunboats purchased by the |
Spaniards here were captured recently
by the Filipinos, who stripped the ves-
sells of their guns and ammunition.
The gunboats were then allowed to proi
