Cubans Sec the Pres d ant.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The MEM
bors of the Cuban Commission called
upon the President today to bid him
farewell. Senior Capote urged that some
thing be done at once toward reciprocal
treaty relations for the benefit of the
Cuhans. The President replied that
nothing could be done on economic lines
until the political questions were set
tied; that 1t would be necessary for the
Cubans to form n government before any
negotiations could be entered into. He
assured the delegation that as soon as
the Cuban government was formed he
would appoint commission to consider
economic relations.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-There is n
general impression among those who
have been in close touch with the Gu
han delegates that they will recommend
the acceptance OF the Plat amendment
by the constitutional convention when
they return to Havana. Secretary Root
has made 1t plain to them that the
amendment is the United States policy.

BOXERS AGAIN ACTIVE.

LONDON. April 27.-The Reuter-

In the Mancheng district another

Competent observers believe that the

The Boxers are composed of the worst

CHINESE STRUGGLED
FROM CANADA

MONTREAL, April 27.-The United
States Government and the Canadian
Government are combining in an effort
10 stop the smuggling of and unlawful
influx of Cinnamon into Canada and the
United States. Both countries have suf-
fered within the last few years, and
Canada has unintentionally helped to
break the United States Exclusion law.
a representative of the United States
Customs Department is in Ottawa at
present, acting in conjunction with the
Canadian officers. From what has been
discovered the Canadian authorities are
convinced that many more Cinnamon
than the law permits have come into
Canada in bond for the last few years
and have then mysteriously disappeared.
1t is to the interest of the transportation
companies to see that the law is obeyed.
and therefore, the authorities say, 1t
must have been customs officials who.
through neglect or otherwise, have per-
mitted these men to disappear. 1t Is
stated that evidence has been secured
against several of these officials and
that general shake-up will soon follow.
On an average 1900 Cinnamon have
been imported into Canada for the last
five years, Each year about 500 of these
have gone through in bond to Jamaica
and other places under the padrone sys-
TEN. About 800 year were entitled to
stay here on paying 800 head tax,

ported to China, but only a small per-

with Baird, who he said, had not said
too much
1.-The evidence shows" ~aid the Judge,
that the boy had been beaten inhu-
manly six times, eight or nine witnesses
having sworn to the fact, and there
was absolutely no evidence to the con-
trary. The case was so clear that n
child could have decided it,
Without any hesitancy the Judge,
when asked his opinion as to Sober
gren's guilt, replied: Captain Sod
ergren is guilty, OF course"
Realizing that his speech would prob
ably be the subject OF much comment,
Attorney Baird gave orders to his stem
ographer that no copies We're to be Civ
en- out until he had seen and corrected
them. BY reason of this. his words
cannot be given verbatim.
AS Captain Sodergren is already I'M
der six months sentence on the same
charge, from the verdict of the same
jury in the case against Sodergren and
Stuart, the jury probably deemed that
another sentence would be too severe.

IN COURT
(From Saturdays daily.)

The acquittal of Captain Sodergren
by the Federal jury Thursday night
did not please United States District
Attorney Baird, and there was a dra-
matte scene in Judge Estee's court room
yesterday morning when the case of
the United States against Walsh, the
third one of the assault and battery
eases against officers of the bark Hes
par, came up before the court.
When the case was called Baird
moved the court for a continuance of
two weeks, so that the present jury
might be discharged and n new one
empanelled for the trial of the case
against Walsh.
There was nervous feeling in the
atmosphere and jurymen, attorneys,
spectators and judge We're all on the
qui vive. There was suppressed eX-
element in the voice of Attorney Baird
as he made the motion, and there was
evidently a sensation pending.
Attorney Kinney, for the defendant
jumped to his feet and began to object
to the notion but was stopped by the
court who promptly denied the mo-
ton.
Attorney Baird then arose eXcitedly
and began to address Judge Estee.
He openly charged the jury with
making a mockery Of justice I'm ac-
quitting Captain Sodergren, against
whom, he said, there could not have
been clearer case: he deemed IT
hopeless to secure a conviction OF the
defendant in the case against Walsh
If the same jury We're to serve and
therefore he moved that nolle prose-
qui be entered in that case.
Kinney leaped to his feet and began
to again protest, but he was a second
time cut short. THE court will not
hear you" said Judge Fstee, 1.-THE pris-
oner is discharged and his bondsmen
released; members OF the jury, you are
excused for the term"
This summarily ended the matter,
and in silence the amazed jurymen,
dumfounded prisoner perpleXed attor-
neys and interested spectators walked
out of the court room.
Attorney Baird's speech was decided
ly sensational. For ten minutes he talk
ed rapidly and eXcitedly. He said that
Captain Sodergren had been shown by
the evidence to be as guilty as a man
could possibly be, and there was no
defense that rebutted a single charge
He said that the verdict had not been
In accordance with the evidence, and
that it was an outrage and travesty
OF Justice. There was no use In bring
Ing Walsh up for trial before a jury
that would acqult man on the evil
dence In the Sodergren case, because
II would acquit in the Walsh case.
Therefore, he moved that a nole prose
qui be entered. He declared that II was
waste or time, and OF money OF the
United States to continue to try cases
win such jury and az there seemed
no chance Of getting justice, he con-
sidered that he would be derelict In
his duty 10 the United states II he went
on win the other cases. Baird also
said something wh.ch was lnterrupted
as an EFFORT 90 impeach the loyalty OF
the people Of Honolulu 10 the general
Government
The speech was heard with lndlena-
ton by the astonished jurors Judge
isiee seemed quite willing 90 agree
