Story of the Fart Played by Con
sul Williamsin the Compet
itor Matter.
Weyler Had Made Preparations
to Execute the Prisonersat
Daybreak.
Would Listen to Nothing But a
Peremptory Order From His
Government.
NEW YORK, May 19.—A special to
The Herald from Havana says the action
of Consul General Wlliams in protest
ing against the methods of trials of the
prisoners of the American schooner
Competitor, adopted by the Spanish au
thorities, is worth more than a passing
mention. Before the courtmartial was
closed Consul General Williams' letter
of protest was read. The representative
of the United States quoted the treaties
existing between the United States and
Spain, and denied the right of the latter
BAYMON O. WILLIAMS.
to try American citizens and others sail
ing tinder the American flag by other
than civil bodies, adding that even in
the latter case they must be judged by
ordinary and not by drum head military
and naval courts, and be permitted to
employ legal counsel and present wit
nesses in evidence.
A note by the judge advocate general
which had also been endorsed by Ad
miral Navarro, the highest naval officer
of Spain in Cuba, ruling Consul General
"Williams' protest as without good
ground and out of order, was also read
and noted.
Wer Expeditious About It.
Within three hours after the court
martial closed its session at a special
meeting in the afternoon, its members
sent to Admiral Navarro a .sealed ver
dict which was immediately opened and
approved by the naval chief.
The sentences of all five prisoners to
death, in accordance with the verdict,
were signed at once, and preparations
were made to have the men shot.
Receiving no satisfactory response
from the admiral, nor even an invita
tion to attend the proceedings, neither
Consul General Williams nor any at
tache of his office was present at the
courtmartial, nor was he allowed to see
the prisoners until after the trial had
closed. Naturally he laid the whole
case before the state department at
Washington, bv wire, early, and
promptly received instructions as ener
getic as could be desired.
Had a Stormy Interview.
When these arrived he went directly
to the palace, where a stormy interview
with Captain General Weyler occurred.
The captain general told the consul gen
eral that if the men had been convicted,
as the latter supposed, they would most
certainly be shot at sunrise the follow
ing morning, despite any protest the
United States might make.
"If you shoot them," said Mr. Will
iams, "my government instructs me to
close its consulate here and demand my
passports, as it shall most certainly hold
you and your government responsible
should these prisoners be executed be
fore our protest be given due considera
tion."
Advised Weyler to Back Down.
When Consul General Williams bowed
himself out of the captain general's
presence and drove back to his office, the
excitement that followed at the palace
became almost indescribable. The
president and judges of the supreme
tribunal of the island, the chairmen of
the leading conservative parties, and
the managing director of the Spanish
bank were called into consultation by
Captain General Weyler and Admiral
Navarro. The majority of these per
sonages advised the authorities to sus
pend the execution pending higher in
structions from Madrid. General Wey
ler said no that if the men were not
executed he would resign. He so tele
graphed the Spanish ministers, it is re
ported.
Received Orders From Madrid.
In the meantime, it appears, the
United States was, through Minister
Taylor, bringing pressure to bear also at
Madrid. Orders came from Spain to
suspend all proceedings, and directing
the captain general and Admiral
Navarro to transmit all documents in
the case to Madrid for consideration
there by the supreme military and naval
council and cabinet. General Weyler,
it is said, also received a message telling
him to await a more opportune moment
to give up his command, as for diplo
matic reasons the government could not
afford at this crisis to have him suddenly
resign.
A Petard Exploded.
MADRID, May 19.—A petard was ex
ploded in the street near the royal pal*
ace. No damage was done.
FOUND AN OLD STATUTE.
touth Dakota Boad I__w Promises Consid
erable litigation.
jfllfeoux CITY, la., May 19.—Interesting
litigation is about to be commenced by
the South Dakota authorities at Yank
ton, to test the validity of an act of the
territorial legislature of 1871, by which
all section lines are declared to be pub
lic highways, and the owners of adja
cent land required to throw them open
to the public for use as such. Until a
short time ago this law seems to have
been overlooked, the county commis
sioners making a practice of purchasing
right of way along the section lines for
use as roads. This expense and the cost
of opening the roads has been a consi«k
erable item in the past. Quite recently
the Yankton county commissioners
stumbled on the old statute authorizing
them to appropriate the necessary land
for the roads without recompensing the
owners and determined to enforce it.
The owners maintain that their patents
from the government embrace each a
certain number of acres from given
points, and that as no deduction is made
for highways the state has no right to
confiscate their land without payment.
FOREIGN CEOP REPORTS.
Prospects Appear to Be Good Throughout,
Europe.
WASHINGTON, May 19.—-The foreign
statistics gathered by the agricultural
department show the crop conditions
throughout Europe. The summary fol
lows
Great Britain—The crop outlook ev
erywhere is good and promises a har
vest about two weeks earlier than usual.
This would dimish the imports for the
remainder of the current cereal year by
about 5,000,000 bushels.
France—With normal weather until
harvest the wheat crop will more than
suffice for home requirements. A sur
plus is confidently predicted by French
agriculturist journals and statisticians.
Austria-Hungary—The weather has
been favorable and the crop promises
well.
Roumania—Cold weather in April re
tarded the crops. But the outlook is
generally promising.
Russia—Excellent prospects of a crop
above the average in quantity and
quality are generally reported. The
unfavorable March weather in the
South is found to have done no serious
damage. Spring sowings have been
completed under good conditions.
WHEAT A TOTAL FAILURE.
Insect Pest and Drought Ravaging Spanish
Crops.
WASHINGTON, May 19.—In addition
to the severe drain of resources caused
by the Cuban rebellion, the Spanish
people now have to face an almost total
failure of the wheat crop owing to
drought and insects. Consul Burke, at
Malaga, writes to the state department
that the new insect pest, as destructive
to wheat as the phylloxera is to the
grape, has ravaged the crops in several
provinces. The poor are suffering much.

Silverites in Congress Would Stay in Ses
sion Till After Conventions.

against final adjournment before the

and of all parties. There has been no
formal agreement so far, but there has
been a general exchange of views, and
there is no doubt that some-of the lead
ers hold the opinion that it will be wise
to postpone adjournment until there
shall be opportunity to know what posi
tion the conventions will take on the
financial question.
