Anxious to Govern Themselves.

NEW YORK, Feb. IA Herald corre-
spondent who has been travelling among
the Iloican and Igorote villages in Gauguet
province. Luzon, finds that the head men
have become self-developing. They have
copied Senior Mabinis laws on municipal
organization, which are working success
fully. They are begging not for presiden-
tial proclamations, but for Spanish trans
lations of American state and county
municipal laws and regulations. The Iloi-
cans are quite capable of carrying on pop
ular local government themselves. The
people are glad to be rid of the insurgent
troops, who preyed on them. Where there
are American garrisons. however, the
natives are slow TO return. Outside towns
are filled with natives.

1 believe you will appreciate the stu
alton and agree with me that Elmer
Maxwell was justified in doing what he
did, You can I excuse the captains con-
duct by any thing In thls world.
DID Elmer Max we'll do what reason
able man would be sxpsctsd to do to de-
fsrd HIMSELF Do you believe the absurd
theory OF the government that there was
malice atorsthought Ia his hearth Give
this untortunats man the benefit OF every
doubt. he is here fighting for his lifs.
II you do not believe him guilty of muir
der your verdict will be not guilty.
Mr. Antholns concluded his argument
of AN hour and q half very eloquently
and left the cause OF the defense In the
hands Of the jury.
ARGUMENT FOR THE GOVERN
MENT.
Mr.. Dyer, the diItricb attorney began
the argument for the government at 800
O'Clock.
He said that tire defense does not even
attempt to deny that ID WAS Maxwell S
hand which Inflicted those savage
blows. They would have you believe
those wounds were INFLICTED In sslf-ds-
fsIss. Failing In that theory thsy hung
out another. which Is that the murder
was done In hot blood. They would have
you believe that this Is man siauRhter,
not murder. Lat us see what murder
IL. It is the unlawful! killing when the
man has the intent In his heart to do
what will cause q fellow beings dee tn.
The governments must show you that
Elmer Maxwell had this infant in his
heart. MansIAughtsr differs from mu.-
der in that In mAa slaughter there Is no
malice but II make up my mind to kill
a man and do 1t, 1t IL murder.
Mr.. Dyer went on to say that 1t was
the duty Of the attorney for defense to
secure Acquittal II possible. while the
prosecuting officer has . more oneIous
and delicate drtJ to perform. He is net
to secure conviction. but to see that eli Of
the facts are brought cut. 81 have given
great Zeal OF asbtntion 70 buis udses
have weighed shs evidence carefully aud
will deal with you frankly. The gov
eminent does not claim Elmer Maxwell
guilty of murder, but IL doss oIsim that
he IL guilty OF manslaughtsr.
The jury. according to the statutes has
the power. II they do not think the facts
come up 20 murder, to find the person
guilty Of manslAughter. With this In
view we can simplify our discussion Of
this casa very much. The question 70
settle is. did Maxwell kill BaIsley de-
liberAteIy, or did hS kill him in self de-
| fenseY
Mr.. Dyer read from a rnle Of law laid
down In the case of Allen vs., the Unitsd
States, which states that to set up the
claim OF self defense 1t mIst be shown
t5at the circumstances were such as to
justify a rsF s1nAbls man in believing
that his life was In danger. or that he
himself was In danger Of receiving bodi-
ly harm.
Mr.. Dyer then went on to review the
case. He said Maxwell WAS on board
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1900-05-04

'"rhsre are many strange things about
shis case. Max was littls man,
the smartest D,an on board, who, with
q lIttls bit OF jack nife had put this
whole ship In a panic. IL Is absurd.
There was q great deal Of rum drank on
that vessel that day. Il may have Ind
something to do with the way these
witnesses saw things and the way they
behaved.
We must be Lave this story Of Camp
bsll's as 1t IL the most reasonably. 1t
conflicts with that told by Mcintyre
The latter says Maxwell climbed over
the rail, took hold OF the back stay and
stabbed Capt. Baisley and that the mate
wasn't near Maxwell at the time. The
mate testities that be was near Maxws II
all the time he was fighting, and when
he (Campbeli) ran forward, he says Max
well followed BIN.
The prisoner at the bar does not deny
that he inflicted the wounds on George
Baisley in the heat Of passion and in self
license, but did these wounds cause Capt.
Baislsy's dsathf DIR. Christie says that
this wound would not have necessarily
have caused Capt. Eaisley's aeath. and
that he believed the immediate cause of
his. death was the plunge into the cold
water after getting heated In the stFug-
gle on deck. he remained In the water
20 minutes and KEPT ahoat. He must
have besn nan OF wonderful power and
must have been much exhausted. The
doctor afro says; whatever might
have been the result In the future Of
that knife wound. 1t wouldn't have prov
en- fatal so soon as 1t did had he not
fallen into the sea.'
We claim Re came co his death because
OF his struggle In the water, ami the
government has not proved the cause Of
his death to be the knife wound. Its
own witness admits that he L. not cure
death resulted from those wounds. II
they were not the cause Of
the captains death. then klner Max
well should 20 free.
Mr.. Anthoins here referred 10 the fact
that the captain drank liquor. as had been
shown and intimatsd that this Is why
he fought MAXWELL and why he went In
TO the rigging. and that liquor was also
the cause Of bis falling overheard.

Mr.. Arthoine showed by the testimony
that this WAS what had bsen done with

Maxwell was ct sea when he woke mp

Maxwell said he didn't want to ship and

THE MAY CROP REPORT.

Washington, May 10.-The monthly
report Of the agricultural department
is as follows:
Returns to the statistician of the de-
partment Of agriculture made up to
May 1st to show the area under wheat
cultivation on that date to have been
about 26, ,585, 900 acres, or ,563, 600 or IL S
per cent. less than the area estimated
to have been sown last fall. For the
area remaining under cultivation the
average condition on May 1st was Ss9.
Spring plowing is more or less late
in almost every state in which it's con-
dition is a matter of any special sig
nif1cance. The work already done in
the country at large is estimated at
6S.4 per cent. of the total contemplated,
the proportion usually done by May 1st
being about IS per cent of the
whole. South Carolina, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi and Texas, the work is
later than in any year for which rec
ords are available.
In consequence of the almost, If not
entirely, unprecedented backwardness
of the season, the statistician is unable
to make the usual preliminary esti-
mate of the new acreage of cotton.
