several hundred South Sea Islanders kidnapped

sold into slavery among the coffee plantations OF
Guatemala, arrived here yesterday the steamer
City Of Para They free and homeward bound
and In addition travelling as tourists. with the
British government paying expenses.
The natives were kidnapped by Captain Black

Monserrat and enticinE them aboard, sailed away.
They were supposed to be contract laborers bound
to their Guatemalan employers for three years.
Ignorant of the language and in land where the
law is sometimes the dctator's will. 1t was easy
to keep them on the plantations where they worked
until their plight made known to the British

~ EULENBURG TRIAL OFF
Defendant Too Ill for 1t to Proceed
Despite His Protest.

Berlin. July 1.-THE trial OF Prince Philip
Euenhurg charges OF perjury in connection
with the court scandals Of last year was inter-
rup,ed to-day and 1t has been indefinitely sus-
pended because the prince is In a half-dying con-
ditiol He has beer growing steadily weaker dur
ing the eighteen days OF the trial. The hearing
began first with four-hour sessions In the criminal
court buildings. These later shortened to
three and two hours day. and the court was
transferred to room In the Charity Hospital,
where the prince is confined.
The court proba bly, would have postponed the
trial before to-day. had it been for the fact
that the German newspapers insisted that no con-
siderstion should be shown to the fallen favorite
OF the Emperor-that aristocrat should not
be permitted to delay the verdict of the court by
what they intinaated a pretence at illness.
When the trial was resumed Ia the Charity Hos
pital to-day DR.. HOFFMAN,. expert appointed
by the court. declared the prince should not be
obliged 10 remain in court for more than one
hour AT the outside. His experience in court yes
terday was followed by great exhaustion. there
was imminent danger OF thrombosis. and the con-
ditien of the patient obviously had grown worse.
The prosecuting attorney. DR.. Isenbiel. thereupon
moved that the trial be postponed. 1t was un-
fortunate. he said after hearings extending over
eighteen days. that the should be indefinitely
suspended. But, whatever his duty prose-
cutor for the crown might be. his sympathy as a
man required him to move this postponement
Counsel for the prince joined in this motion The
prince, however, Querulousy objected to a post
ponement. He raised himself with difficulty on
one elbow and said in shaky voice: Il am both
mentally and physically quite well enough to go
with this trial The sword has swung for so
long over my neck that / wish 1t would either
fall be taken away
Princess Eulenburg, in the time. had
privately represented the presiding judge that
her husband was in no condition to undergo a
further strain. The judges then withdrew for con-
sutation. and upon their return announced that
the trial had been deferred without date. the
prisoner not being in a condition properly to de-
fend himself
Before the court the prince again objected
TO the stoppage of the trial. 1T is true enough
that / ill., he exclaimed. but what matters
that when a man contends for his innocence and
his honor?" Tears came into the prisoners eyes.
He had spoken in a Quavering voice. Then. rails
ing himself UP, he struck the table at the side
Of his cot with his fist and exclaimed violently:
II object to the uncertainty. The trial is now
postponed. leaving the public in doubt as to
whether I am guilty or innocent beg you to be
merciful / never live for the continuation
