POWERS JURY INSTRUCTED.
Might Sessions ordered Judge Sims
Pleads for defense.

Georgetown, Ky. Aug. 10. In the
Powers case yesterday Judge Cantrill
oyerruled the motion of the defense to
tell the jury that the testimony of the
Witnesses who said they heard James
Sparks. the London attorney. say Goe-5
bel would be killed and Taylor would
pardon the murderers could only be
considered by the jury as affecting
sparks credibility. The judge said the
testimony must go 10 the jury and let
Sparks language.
The jury Was brought in court yester-
day afternoon and Instructed. The sub
stance of the instructions are:
That Powers is guilty III the jury be-
lieves he conspired ID bring about the
death of Goebel
That he is guilty if he SO conspired,
whether he knew the day or place Goe-
bel was to be shot.
That he is guilty if after conspiring
the whole plot was changed by the oth-
9sr ennspirators with Powers knowl-
edge.
Thar hegis guilty if the jury believes
he conspired to kill any member or
members of the legislature, Goebel be-
ing a member thereof.
The jury must believe that all these
things have been proved beyond a rea-
sonable doubt before it can find him
guilty.
The defense claims the instructions
give their man the worst of it. but the
prosecution contends the Instructions
are the usual ones given in such cases.
After reading the instructions TO the
Jury Judge Gantrill announced there
would be a night session from $50 to 9
lo,clock. Ex-Governor Brown objected
and offered to file a physicians affida-
vii that Powers health was in too
Icfitical a condition to stand the strain
|ef q night session. Judge Cantrili said
a cot could be brought in and the de-
PENDANT could be as comfortable as he
would be in the jail.
Judge Sims in the opening speech last
might for the defense devoted most of
his time To- telling how the statesgst
witnesses had been contradicted.

TREAcHEROUS FILIpINos.


Manila, June s.-Capt. Frank F.
Crenshaw with 40 men of the Twenty
eighth infantry, while scouting near
Taal, was led into an ambush by a
guide. Capt. Crenshaw was badly
wounded in the head. and one private
was wounded. The ambushers were
scattered, leaving ten dead and three
wounded on the field.
Papers show that nearly all the
presidents installed by the Ameri-
cans in Gen. Young's territory are
treacherous and have been making
regular reports to Aguinaldo as to
the disposition and movement Of the
American troops and they have been
collecting and forwarding taxes to
him. The captured papers also prove
the disloyalty of the native telegraph
operators whom the Americans r.
tained on the Cayagan Valley line.
