before the usual hour of adjournment.
and after a brief consultation among
counsel for the defense and Judge Bid
die, the latter adjourned court for the
day il: order that Mr.. Qnay's lawyers
might have t;i:ie to coisis!cr what steps
they shall take with respect to the
presentation pf their side.
Rely OH Golt,sm this Testimony.
From the evidence already presented
it is apparently evident tiiat the COM
monwealth depends largely for convic-
ton upon the testimony OF lis expert,
Meyer Goldsmith, as to his interpreta-
tion of the accounts III the 'rcd books
and other books of the bank and his
opinion Of the books, papers, letters,
kilograms and checks offered in evil
de,,ce. AS to what extent the testi-
lnony of the defense expert, should he
be called, may offset Mr.. Goldsmith'a
testimony remains to be seen. The con
tention Of the defense in argument and
cross-eXarlination has been that the cal
culations Of Mr.. Goldsmith are not
borne out by the books, but on the other
hand show that Mr.. Quay did not use
state money nor receive interest on state
deposits. and that whatever loans he re-
ceived were made in the customary
manner and backed by sufficient collat-
erals

WASHINGTON. April ;a.--Tlc dispatch

late in the day ana considerable delay

The dispatch is as follows:
yorktown visited Baler. Luzon, east
coast of Luzon, p. L., April II, for the
purpose Of rescuiny and bringing away
the Spanish forces consisting OF 50 SOL
diers, 3 officers and priests, which
were surrounded by 400 insurgents.

Lieutenant J. C. Gilmore. while making

captured. Their fate unknown, as in
surgents refused to communicate after

First blow to the Navy.
The capture of the YorAtown's men
was discussed with much feeling in
naval circles. The misfor' une was felt
with added keenness as the navy has
prided itself thus far on immunity from
reverses. Tie admiral's dispatch was
the first knowledge The department had
that the Yorktown had gone on this
special mission to relieve the Spanish
garrison at Balcr. That the capture
should have been effected while the
American forces We're on mission Of
mercy toward the Spaniards rather than
in the prosecution of the campaign led
to the belief that Spain would have nc
further ground for questioning the good
| faith with hich the Americans wers
seeking to relieve the condition of the
Spanish prisoners.
Anxiety for Their Fntc.
Although the dispatch gave no indi
cation that lieutenant Gilmore and his
men had lost their lives, yet great anx
iety was aroused by the mystery sur
rounding their fate while in the hands
of an uncivilized enemy. This is the
first capture of any Americans, :nilitar.
or naval, SO that it is unknown how the
insurgents will treat our men. If civil
lied methods were pursued all exchange
could be quickly effected, as Genera
Otis has large number of Filipino
prisoners, but the insurgents have beer
averse thus far to exchange Spanish
prisoners and this raises question as te
what they will do with the Yorktown
men. The rpose Of officials here is tt
spare no efolC to secure the speedy re
lease of our men.

The REVIEW favors the building of a
new court house, but is fearful of push
ing the issue on the people at this time.
When the new court house comes it
must come from the people of the
county and not from the people of Den
ison. That the necessity exists no one
can deny and we are glad to see interest
being aroused. The Bulletin opens the
discussion this week and is supposed
to speak authoritively for the board of
supervisors. This being the case there
is every prospect that the board will
decide to submit the question to the
people at no distant date. The demo-
cracy, as the majority party, must take
the lead in this movement and we con-
graduate the Bulletin upon its stand.
