Should Aguinsldo escape to Hong

| to secure conviction as was feared
When Charles Buck testified this
morning it then seemed that the pris-
oner's last hope of an acquittal had
vanished. Buck heard O'Connor knock
down the Mexican who had insulted
him and turning saw young Garcia
discharge his pistol within q few feet
of O'Connor's head.
The other witnesses this morning
were Police Captain Beady, who testi-
fed as to the calibre of the bullet: Rob-
ert Bernauer, who saw man in the
crowd shoot at O'Connor, but could not
say positively who the man was, but
knew that he was smaller than O'Cor-
nor. After O'Connor fell the man ran
out and was not captured. Witness
failed to identify the prisoner at the
bar as the man who fired the shot,
Charles Buck saw Garcia shoot
O'COnoor and described the killing
He identified the prisnoner at the bar
as the man who fired the fatal shot.
The witness was cross questioned
briefly and excused. J. p. O'Connor
then testified that the man pointed out
as the slayer of O'Conuer was Edel-
berto Garcia, the defendant.
The state then rested.
NO WITNESSES OFFERED BY DEFEND
ANTS.
Defendants attorney, Mr.. Howe, re-
tired with the prisoner to an ante
chamb Der for consultation. When they
returned Mr.. Howe announced to the
court that the prosecuting attorneys
admitted that Hernandez, whom
O'Conuor knocked down, WAS a BROTH
er OF Garcia's brOther-in-law and that
he had frequently given Garcia en-
ployment and they were on the closest
terms of friendship if not relationship
After short delay counsel for defend
ant created some surprise by announ-
cling that the defense would rest
There was not even an effort to estab-
lish an alibi, which would no doubt
have been futile under the circum-
stances.
ARGUMENT COMMENCED.
After a half hours delay to procure
law books Judge Falvey opened for
the state announcing fully the propo-
sltions of law touching on tie case
upon which the court should charge
jury. He said the court would in his
opinion be required to charge upon the
theory that premeditated murder had
been committed and to permit the
jury to pass upon the facts as to wheth-
er murder in the first or second degree
existed in Garcia's case.
He pointed out that it smust be
shown that expressed malice existed
before the killing to establish murder

The samoa Trouble.

The Island OF Samoa has been
tor more than fifty years German
colony, settled from the city OF
Hamburg. Two thlrds Of the
landed property OF the island be-
longs to Germans.
We do not know the exact state
and cause OF the present trouble,
whether the German Consul blum
dered or not. But so much is GER
tain. that the Paris treaty distinctly
gives the right OF seli-government
in the selection OF their King to
the natives. That right it seems
they have just now exercised
The dispatches state that 5000
were for Mataafa and only 1000
for Malietoa. The German Con-
sui has sided with the former and
the English and American Con-
svls uphold the latter. A few days
will give US more light on this sub
ject. Evidently the English have
their fingers in the pie to create
unpleaSantness betW cen Germany
and the United States.

THEATRICAL.

One Of the really great theatrical
engagements OF the season will open on
next Monday evening at the New
National Theatre. The engagement
is that of Jacob Lifts company present
ing his great revival Of "Shenando h"
OF all the war dramas that the stage has
seen in the past decade, the most popu-
lar Of them all has been this work Of
Bronson Howard, Shenandoah" i5,
Of itself, a great play, telling story OF
absorbing interest, and one which
appeals to every patriotic citizen.
Taking then this play, and giving 1t a
magnificent production, adding all the
realism which is suggested by the situa-
ti0ns and clrmaxes and the patriotism
OF the audience is brought to fever heat.
TIE battle scene at the end OF the third
act IS one OF the grandest and most
realistic scenes ever presented to an
American audi snce! Batteries Of artiI-
lery, companies ofinfantry and squadrons
cavalry are all brought into active play,
ana war fills the theatre. There are
over zoo people On tue nAdsC Aul lAlB Llllo
scene, and the mimic battery becomes
almost reality b the audience. After
war comes peace, and the beginning Of
the last act, which takes place in this
city, there IS a grand review Of the
homeward bound troops. Tine events
Of the past few months have made the
people Of the country proud that they
are privileged to be born Americans,
proud Of their country, proud Of their
army and navy, and so Shenandoah"
should be doubly welcome, for the
scenes whIch-it rehearses are some Of
the most stirring ones in the history Of
our country, and the acts Of heToism
which It depicts are written indelbly
upon the pages OF that same history.
The company which Mr.. Lit has gotten

has ever presented the play It's headed
by Maurice Barrymore and Mary HamP-
