THE BRIQGES CASE
—————
Hi! E DE FENDANT MA DE II IS
STATEMENT.
LLOQUINT IN DEFENSE
And Attorneys are now Addres
sing THE J 1 RY.
The Bridg< s case drew another
large audience at th? courthouse
again today
The defense sprung a surprise
upon the prosecution this morn
ing by closing their side with the
defendant’s statement as the only
evidence introduced by them,
The attorneys for the defense,
finding the state’s care so much
weaker than upon the former tral,
decided that, it would only be a
waste of time and a continued in
convenience to the jury to put in
evidence of r buttal nature.
The defendant’s statement was
not nearly so long as upon the
former trial but was decidedly in
teresting from the outset and
grew thrilling in its languageand
delivery un il in its close i was
decidedly eloquent
Each side a,ked the court for
extra time and Judge Joel Bran
han opened for the defense in one
of the ablest efforts he ever made
before a jury.
He was fallowed by City Court
Judge George Harris who at 3
o’clock this afternoon is address
ing the jury for the prosecution.
Judge Harris will be followed by
Solicitor General Mose Wright
who will close for the state.
Major Fouche will close for
the defense. As each side- has
five hours for speaking the prob
abilities are that his Honor will
not charce the jury before tomor
row morning.

There is, in Rome, a family,
consisting cf a man, his wife, their
young married (and deserted)

SHORE LEAVE MAY BE
With Held From Spaniards In
American Waters.
Washington, D, C., Jun. 28.
The startling infurmation is given
out that every foot of Havanna
harbour, where the Maine is sta
tioned, is mined, drawn off into
squar. e, and each square connected
with a numbered keyboard on land
so that, with the pressing of a
particular button, the Maine could
be blown out of existence.
The Spanish land puns are lar
ger than those on the Maine, and
are said to be well handled.
Ic is doubtful whether the Maine
could make any considerable re
sistance whether she is now an
chored, the bay being too nairow
for firing.
The Maine hos 31 officers and
3e3 men aboard. The cost of keep
ing the ship in fighting condition
is about SIOOO a day.
WHEN SPANIARD ARRIVES
Shore Leave Will Probably Be
Granted.
New York, Jan. 27.—The an
nouncement cf the Spanish Gov
erment that it would, iu the near
future eend the man-of-war Vis
cays to American ports to return
'he visit of “courtesy” which the
United Stat s battle-ship Maine is
now making to Havana recalls an
incident which occurred in April
last when two Spanish ships of war
the cruiseis Infant Labella and
Maria Theresa, were in New York
harbor to take part in the cere
monies attending the dedication
of the Greaud momument.
The Spanish ships were anchored
in the North River, together with
an imposing fleet cf warships of
other foreign Nations and the
Uuited States. A long line of
merchantmen and excursion boats
filled with people, sailed up one
side and then aroued the warships
Cheers and shouts fil ed the air
as the ships slowly steamed by the
American, British German French
and Italian men-of-war but an
ominious silenco followed and in
some cases hisses ensued when the
Spanish shipe were passed.
The incident plain’y showed
that Americans were discontented
then with Spain’s policy towards
the Cubans. This feeling has
certainly not becd alloyed since
and unpleasant cons 1 quences may
follow the advent of Spanish ships
of war in our ports.
The Spanish sailors of the In
fanta Isabella and Maria Theresa
were not allowed shore leave last
Asril because their officers fea.d
violence This policy will likely be
followed during the com.ng visit,
thus lessening • the danger ot
trouble.
