VNORWALK CASES UP. ‘

Burton Gets. Fifteen Days and Spr‘ingstein
$30 aud Thirty Days. '

The criminal common pleas court
came in Tuesday at Bridgeport to wind
up the criminal business of the court
year. Judge R. Jay ‘Walsh was not able
to attend so Judge George P. Carroll
'- of theBridgeport city court was call-
ed in to preside. "

What perhaps will be the most im-

court at this term will hardly come up
in open session. It will only, show on
the court‘ records. It is the entering of
2a nolle in the cases of the well “known
members of the Wee Burn Golf club,
who were arrested in Darien for play-
ing golf on Sunday. I

The gentlemen who were captured
by the county constable and hauled
up before a country justice were Wil-
bur L. Baldwin, James Jenkins and
Marion Phelps. The country justice
found them guilty of violating the Sun-
day law in engaging in sports and pas-
times. He imposed a moderate fine
with a warning not to do it again.

But the followers of the Scotch game
were not satisfied with this decision
and they took an appeal to this court.
It was held that playing golf on Sun-
day was not in violatiOn of any law and
it could only be called healthful re-
creation, the same as bicycle riding,
carriage riding‘and trolley trips.

Evidently the officials of this cou.-t
hold this view as it was practically de-
cided to nolle the cases several weeks
ago. The final entry,
not made until this session.

No More Bunchall For Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, June 27.——Cleeveland
will not see any more League baseball
this year. No more games will be played
here after the series with Boston closes,
July 1. President Robinson made this
announcement yesterday. The cause, he
says, is the refusal of nearly every club
that has played here this season .to re-
turn, owing to the poor attendance. This
year the gate receipts at the grounds of
the Cleveland club have not averaged
much over $25 per day.

Miss Hicks Under Doctor’s Care.

PROVIDENCE, June 27.—-—l\1iss Ra-

alleged signature of Helen and Edwin
Gould, is still under a doctor’s care at

‘that the young woman ismentally unbal-

HAVANA, June 28.—Major General
Wilson, military governor of the depart-
ment of Matanzas-Santa Clara, immedi-
ately on hearing of the collision between
Americans and Cubans"at Cienfuegos on

‘ Saturday night, started for that point to

make a thorough investigation. Govern-
or General Brooke has received from him
the following telegram explaining the af-
fairz. '

“Saturday was a’gala day in Cienfue- '
gas, and many of the people indulged in
drinking. Among them were three civil-
ian employees of the quarte‘rmaster’s de-
partment—not soldiers, as was at first
supposed. The trouble between the men
and the police resulted in a series of ac-
cidents, without any preconceived design
or purpose. *‘

“The Spaniard who was killed was en-
tirely innocent of any participation. He '
was driving near by with'his children and
was struck by a stray shot fired by some
person unknown as yet. Judge Advocate
Carbo' ;h is making [a thorough inquiry.
Capt-....n Fenton, the commissary, has
been relieved of duty and will face a
court martial for interfering with the po-
lice and endeavoring to assist the escape
of prisoners. Lieutenant Catlin of the
Tenth infantry has been relieved of the
command of the guard of Major Raffer-
ty’s pay train and will face charges of
leaving hispost without authority. The
three policemen who began the firing
without justification are under arrest and

rest the civilians, rural guards and Cuban
soldiers who were implicated, but these
will probably not succeed, owing to the
lack of .proof. The-.men who were the
original cause of the trouble will be dis-
missed when their punishment is over
and will be deported from the island.

“Senor Pablo Santa Moriarthe wealthy
Spanish planter who was wounded, died
the same night and was buried yesterday.
His funeral was largely attended. The
people are naturally indignant, but they
are quiet.” ' \

Several weeks ago what are supposed
to be the bones of Vela-sec, the defender
of Morro Castle in 1762, when Havana
was captured by the British under 'Admi-
ral Pococke and Lord Albemarle, were
discovered under the floor of the custom
house.

The physicians decided that the bones
were human remains. The tombstone
shows the shield ,of Spain, but the rest of
the inscription is elfaccd. The grave was
between tw0 others. After a long discus-
sion it was decided that the remains
should be sent to Spain.

THE SPANISH CRISIS.

'l‘hc Antlbudgct Riots Discussed by
Cortes.

MADRID, June 28.——The‘ disturbances
at Saragossa were excitedly discussed
yesterday in the chamber of deputies.
Senor Romero y Robledo asked if it were
true that eight had been killed and 40
wounded. Senor Dato, minister of the
interior, replied in the negative.

Lieutenant General Polavieja, minister
of war, read the latest- dispatches, show-
ing that two generals, one aid de camp,
several officers and four soldiers had been
injured, the soldiers seriously.

Senor Romero y Robledo thereupon
asked whetherthe unanimous demonstra-
tion of the commercial community had
not made the gavernment pause and con-
sider that the outbreaks might end in
revolution. He urged the ministers to
yield their places to those able to present
better solutions. In conclusion he asked
if it were true that the minister of war
had demanded an extraordinary credit of
160,000,000 pesetas for the construction
of fortifications.

The minister of war replied that the
project had not yet been presented, but
was under consideration.

' Senor Romero y Robledo advised him
not to present it. _ .

The premier, Senor Silvcla, said the
government’s first duty was not to make
declarations, but to restore order. The.
government’s existence depended on its
power to present a satisfactory budget.
He declared that he would labor to extri-
cate Spain from her present position even
at the cost of his life’s blood. The debate
was then dropped. . '

A similar discussion took place in the
senate, where Senor Silvela defended the
government and repudiated any idea of
becoming a dictator. He said he had a
horror of all dictatorships. The govern-
ment, however, would make the essen-
tials of the budget a question of confi-
dence. although modifications would be
accepted.

Must Declare Intentions.

TVASHINGTON, June 28.—The Span-
ish government is about to take steps to
determine how many Spanish born resi-
dents of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil-
ippines intend to maintain their alle-
giance to the crown of Spain. Provision
for this was made in the treaty of Paris,
which allows one year from the date of
exchanging ratifications of the treaty
within which Spanish born residents
can make known their wish to remain
subjects of Spain. The newly appointed
Spanish consul generals at Havana, Ma-
nila and San Juan will open registers at
their respective stations and at other
points where Spanish born residents may
make a declaration before a court of rec-
ord of their intention to continfie alle-
giance to the crown of Spain. Otherwise
allegiance is renounced, and they become
citizens of the territory in which they
may reside. ,

It Was a False Report.

LOUISVILLE, J une 28.—A special to
The Post from London. Ky., says: “There
is not a shadow of truth in the story

Beverly P. White of Clay county was
shot and killed in Manchester last night.
-A messengerhas just arrived from: Man-
chester and infofms The Post correspond-
ent that he left Sherifi White at 8 o’clock
this morning alive and Well. Everything,

lutely no foundation for thestory.”

Francisco Warrants for the arrest and
deportation of the six Japanese who were
recently released from custody by the
federal court on a writ 0f habeas corpus.
It is not thought-that the court will fur-
ther interfere in the matter.

The Columbln Proves Herself thq'
Dcfénder’u Superior. "
NEWPORT, R. 1., June 28.—The long
deferred «.pcn sea trial between the new ,
cup defender Columbia and‘the 90 foot
sloop Defender, which successfully dc:

“fended the .Amcrica cup in 1895. took

place of this port yesterday. For more.
than three hours the two yachts battled
against each other, and when the Colum-
bia returned to her anchorage in this-har-

' bor she had “proved‘herself the superior '

boat. With the possible exception of a
broad reach she can defeat the former
champion in every department of sailing.
She can outfoot the Defender in wind-
ward work, she is quicker in stays, she
can point higher, and there is no doubt,
though she was not tried in this respect,
that she can show the 1895 boat her
heels in running before the wind.

The test was made in a breeze which
varied in» velocity from 8 to 14 knots an
hour. \Vith the wind blowing from the
southwest, the two boats sailed south
from Brenton’s reef, lightship .for a,dis~
tance of at least ten miles. For three-
quarters of an hour they sailed side by
side on a close hauled reach, with the
wind over their starboard bows. For a
time the issue, seemed to ,be “in doubt
Whatever one boat gained her tidying”,
soon made 0 . Bu! M "“tfild oi: ten
minutes the olumbia f0 ~ herself and
steadily forged ahead. In the 45 minute
brush she beat the Defender by perhaps
five lengths; a satisfactory but by no
means 9 an ‘ovcrshqgowin‘g' victory. In
squaring away to'coine'paéi the tqo
boats had a tussle on a short broad 1‘33.
In this the Defender herself Was capab
of holding the common, though whether
she will be able to do so when the new
flier is thoroughly tuned up and seasoned
is doubtful. Easing ofi her sheets, the
Columbia squared away and started fdr
home. Running full before the wind,
her boom to starboard, she set her spin-
naker to port, and though the Defender
had dropped out of the race and there
was no trial horse along the Columbia
sped ahead at such a clip as to make it
a certainty that in running free she is
the fastest 90 footer on this side of the
Atlantic. ~ \
