SANGUILLY, RELEASED.
His Trial “’as Very llfucli In the Nature
, of a. Farce.
Jacksonville, Fla., April 1.2.—The hear-
ing in the case of General Julio San-
guilly and Colonel Manuel Lechuga, the
- Cuban patriots arrested on charges pre-
ferred by the Spanish vice consul for,
attempting to set on foot the Bermuda
filibustering expedition from Fernan-
dina last week, resulted in the discharge
of the defendants from custody by the
United States commissioner.
When the case was called, the govern-
ment attorneys asked for a. continuance,
and the Spanish vice consul, Juan Po-
tous; who had made the complaint “up-_
on the best of his knowledge and be-
lief," flatly refused to testify, saY'ing
that he was exempt from being com—
pelled to testify in a. court of justice.
The defendants were ready and urged a.
hearing at once.
Commissioner Locke said that he
thought the government had had suffi-
cient time to produce its testimony, as
Sanguilly and Lechuga. were arrested
four days ago, and there was no cer-
tainty that the government Would have
its witnesses here in ten days. As to
the refusal of the Spanish vice consul
to testify, the commissioner held that
he had the power to issue an attach-
ment for the vice consul and could com-
pel him to testify, but he did not think
it necessary to do this, because the gov-
ernment could not substantiate the
charges of the consul. Therefore the
case was dismissed.
The commissioner expressed a. doubt;
as to the trustworthiness of the evi-
dence that the consul could produce
and intimated that he would not issue
another warrant on the consul’s affi-
davit.
.Sa'ng'uilly refuses to make a state~

When. an incident like the following
cecurs right here at home it is bound to
carry weightwith our readers When so
many strange occurrences go the rounds
of the press, are published as facts, when
the intelligent reader knows they cannot
be true, there is no wonder that people
become skeptical. On one subject
skepticrsm is rapidly disappearing.
This is due to the actual personal exper-
ience of our citizens, and their public ut-
terances regarding them. The doubter
must doubt no more in the face of such
evidence'as this. The public statement
_of a reputable citizen living right here at
home, one whom you can see every day,
leaves no ground for the skeptic to stand
on.
Mrs. John Grace of 3‘3 Plattsvilie ave-
nue,says: “I am well up in years, and for.
quite a long time I have suffered with
my back and kidneys. The pain often
extended down into my limbs and was
frequently so severe that I supposed I
had rheumatism. I was advised to use
Doane's Kidney Pills, and began taking
them. I think the pills are a , good
thing, they cured me.”
