NEW TANGLE IN NELLY CASE.
His Bondsmen in Effect Demand q
Trial in United States.

His BOndsmen in Effect Demand a
Trial in United States.
The New York Journal today says: A
new end extraordinary tangle has arisen In
the case of Charles F. w. Nicely, the ac-
cused postal official, now on his way to be
tried in Havana on the charge Of embezzle-
ment Of many thousands Of dollars In
Cuba. The Fidelity and Deposit Company
of Baltimore, which bonded Nicely, has re-
fused to pay the amount of the bond to
the government, asserting that as yet the
MANAGEMENT has discovered no indication
of Neely's guilt
The company declares it will not pay I'M
til the case has been passed upon by an
American court and the guilt OF Nicely so
proven.
This ultimatum creates these puzzling
situations:
If the Cuban court rules against Nelly,
to whom can he (Neely) appeal?
2Provided that Neely's guilt is estab-
lished to the satisfaction Of the Cuban
courts would that evidence be acceptable
to an American judge and jury?
3-The Fidelity Company, having decided
that it's investigation had failed to
bring to light any evidence against Nicely,
would not the United States, to collect the
bond, be compelled to prove the guilt of
the accused man. thereby reopening the
whole case and that before an American
jury?
themselves to acute international legal
minds.
And In connection with the case there
comes from Havana what purports to be a
full confession by w. H. Reeves, former
assistant auditor of posts in Cuba. who

theft.

SPEED TRIAL OF ALABAMA.
Necessary Tests For Supplying Reliabl
Data.

Hecessary 1esUs FOR supplying Reliable
Data.
The Alabama has successfully nassed
through her speed trials and returned to
Newport News. The Massachusetts, is
awaiting more favorable weather for her
tests. The battleships Alabama and
kearsarge, OF the North Atlantic Squa-
dron, under the command of Rear-Admi-
raj Hlgginson, arrived here on Monday
and anchored in the Chesapeake bay be-
low Annapolis, between Thomas Point
and Solomon's Island. The purpose of
their visit to these waters was to conduct
certain speed and other tests. This, it is
understood, is the beginning of systematic
tests OF all the war vessels of the navy at
regular periods, such as exists in the
British Navy.
L mis- was the first time in the history
OF our navy that feet of this class had
been assembled for this purpose, but tha,
IT would probably become the regular
practice. The great reason for this
course is to see if there has been any de.
terloratlon in the ability of the ship since
her original trials. 1t is not the custom
to run these vessels regularly at high
speed. owing to the immense cost, and
tor this reason the tests are necessary to
show what they can do.
The tests will be absolute speed trials
and what is known as standardizing tests,
the ascertalnirg OF the number of revo-
lutions OF the screw necessary to drive
the ship knot at the sufficient speeds.
These speed trials were decided on by
Navy Department recently for the pur-
pose OF supply reliable data for filling.
The ships have gone to Old Point where
the newly organized North Atlantic Squa.
dron will mobilize there the latter part
OF the week, sailing about Sunday fol
Charleston the first stop on the South
Itinerary.
