THE flying squadron arrived off Cien-
fuegos on the morning of May 22, and es-
tablished a blockade. During the day the
ships lay off the port at various distances
in no particular order. At night, they
formed in column of vessels, headed off
shore, and moved at only sufficient speed
for keeping positions. The small vessels
performed picket duty inshore of the large
ships.
Commodore Scnley did not proceed with
utmost dispatch off Cienfuegos and block
ade that port as close as possible.
AT 10 o'clock a. m, May p, the Dupont
arrived at Cienfuegos with a dispatch from
the commander-in-cE f, dated Key West

the popular impression here being that
from the evidence submitted the prosecu-
tion had failed to prove it's case against
Mrs Bonine. The Jurors were out less than
five hours, retiring few minutes after p.
m. and returning their verdict shortly before
9 p m. The attendance in the courtroom
when the jury returned was limited to the
members of the bar, representatives of the
press and the employees of the court
There was some little attempt at a dem
onstration of approval, but this was quick
ly suppressed by Judge Anderson, who had
previously warned the spectators against
manifestations of any character. Mrs Bon
Inc was in court at the time, and with her
were her husband and her two boys and
several of her relatives, all of whom have
shown their sympathy with her by their con-
slant attendance during the long trial. The
jury was discharged and Mrs. Bonine and
her friends left the courthouse by back
door
The trial of Mrs. Bonine has been in
progress for almost four weeks and at
tracted more attention than any trial be-
fore the local courts in years. Extraordi-
n y interest was caused at the time young
Ayres was killed because of the mystery
surrounding the until the statement

and that he was killed in a struggle with
her over the possession of a revolver with
which he was trying to frighten her into
compliance with his demands. Mrs. Bonine
had been in Jail since the tragedy. She did
not go on the witness stand during the
trial
Judge Anderson's charge to the jury to-
day was very general i'm character He
wound up by saying that the jury could
bring in any one of four verdicts, namely:
That of guilty as indicted with capital
punishment; guilty as indicted without cap
ital punishment, which would mean i'm
prisonment for life; manslaughter the pun
ishment under which would be imprson-
ment for a term OF years last of all a
verdict of not guilty.

meanor which has characterized her con-
duct throughout the trial and smiled ap-

newspaper men, and showed signs of
nervousness over the outcome. When the
conclusions of Admiral Dewey were read
to him Admiral Schley showed his pleas

that he regarded the statement from Ad-

He declined to make any statement con-

himself from the little company which had

STURGIS, KY, Dec. 13.-The Bank of
Sturgis was robbed early this morning of
between $500 and $4,000 by robbers, who
blew open the safe with nitroglycerin. The
robbers are thought to have escaped on
horses and to have followed the railroad
track. Bloodhounds followed the trail for
several miles, but lost it then on account
of rain. Sledge hammers were stolen by
the robbers from a blacksmith shop.
The Bank of Sturgis was recently warned
by detective that IL might be robbed and
therefore kept only small amount OF
cash on hand, frequent shipments Of
money being made TO Evansville, Ind, for
safe keeping.

city of Mexico, is still preserved and in the

Impoverished blood is a sure sign Of

Vinol owes its virtue to the fact that

found in cod-Gver oil, and which made

Vinol does not contain the grease or
fat that characterized cod-liver oil and
made it in many cases worthless.
Vinol acts upon every one of the
great vital organs, and by invigorat-
