HAVANA , Cuba , Nov. 29. ( Now York
World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The
trial of General Julio Sangullly , an Amer-
can citizen , for "aiding and abetting- trea-
f enable conspiracy against the government of
Spain , " ended today. A decision will be
rendered In from five to ten dajs.
The opinion of lawyers Is that
the government hau failed to make
a case ; that , though there may bo
B moral certainty that General Sangullly was
engaged In a conspiracy , the prosecution did
not establish that fact In the evidence , but
that the government Is In the amiovlng po
sition of knowing that Sangullly will go Into
the Held If he Is set at liberty. There IB a
scncial expectation that ho will bo convicted ,
10 as to detain him as a prisoner , and that
the casa will bo carried to Madrid. At the
same tlmo the court Is composed of good
lawyers. Meanwhile General Sauguilly Is
sure of Good lrcatmc.nl.
The explosion of a number of dynamite

had passed safely half a mile ahead of the
train The World correspondent heard the
report of a pistol , followed by a series of
tcirlfic explosions. The engineer , two fire
men and many cattle were killed. Thp

HAVANA , Nov. 29. The trial of General
Julio Sangullly , an American citizen , on the
charge ot committing Illegal acts against the
Spanish government was resumed today and
Benor Vlendl continued his eloquent and en-
risetlc address for the defense , which was
Interrupted by the adjournment of the court
JnU evening. He denied emphatically all
the charges against his client. He also pro-
tccitcd vigorously against the informality of
the examination of the handwriting expert ,
who tCBtlfieu that the haudw riling of certain
Incriminating documents submitted by the
piGsccutlon was the same as that of General
Haiignllly. He submitted that he hud not
been informed of the intention to call the
witness and uudei the circumstances he was
pi evented fiom bringing In expert
wlln < ist' , s fet the defense , as the- law Is that
protcsls against such testimony must lo de
cided at the commencement of the trial. This
provision applies under the martial law , under
which the trial Is bilng held , though , the
speaker pointed out. It Is contrary to the
piovlslonu of n protocol of the treaty between
Spain and tlte United Slntey , which guaran
tees to American citizens in Cuba a trial be-
fore a civil juiy.
Scnor Vlendl then went on to urge that the
documents , oven it genuine , prove no acts
to have been committed , but only go to
show Intentions , for which no punishment Is
provlde-d by the law. He then went on to
say Captain General Campos has Informed
the court that the War department has no
documents proving the guilt of the defendant ,
hut only the depositions of General Callejo ,
who mndu the arrest. Senor Vlendl there
fore asked that his client be absolved from
the charges against him , after which the
court adjoin ned.
The verdict will bo rendered In three days
The magistrates , the crown prosecutor , the
lawyers and United States Consul General
Williams , who vvero present In the court
loom , warmly congratulated Senor Vlendl nn
hlB address. The defense ho made Is con
sidered ono of the best ever heard In the
court.

office of Wlnslow Pierce , George Gould's at
torney. In the Western Union building. Rob
ert V. Llndsbury , who also represented Mr.
Gould , came In after the dl cusslon had
begun. The- question up for debate was , of
cour e , how much Miss Nlcolaus would take
lo discontinue proceeding" "
"It was paid that ono of the po'ntR which
Induced Zcllti to agree to n compromise was
that Mr. Gould's representatives have ob
tained the statement of a nun who was
associated with Miss Nlcolaus In the deal
which led to the original conquest of the
check for $ W,000. Thci evidence of this
man , It was reported , would materially wealien
the plaintiff's case. " The World then says

SAN rilANCISCO , Nov. 29 Irving M.
Scott , general manager of the Union Iron
works , who recently returned from Japan ,
makes the following statement to the As o-
elated press , as the result of recent publica
tions In American newspapers on the subject
of extending the field of American manufac
tures of war materials to the Oriental coun
tries. Mr. Scott's visit to Japan was for the
purpose * of Inducing the Japanese govern
ment to consider the advisability of obtain
ing warships and other war material In the
United States , Instead of purchasing them
from European manufacturers.
Mr. Scott sajs. "If the United States ex
pects to succeed In competing with other
nations for trade In that part of the world
the prewj of the country should not he to
modest In the praise of Its manufactures ,
more fair In Its criticisms of those of other
nations and less ready to Insinuate unworthy
motives on the part of the Japanese as a
reason for lack of Inuncdlite encouragement.
Many United States Journals reach there , and
the effect of this style of writing Is to be
deplored.
"The Oriental nations are notoriously slow
In forming business alliances with foreigners.
Competition Is extremely close. The expert
agent of one of the most Important ship
building flrma In the world was In the Orient
for three years before he had secured n sln-
glo contract , and vet the press of the United
States cries out because their capable but
brand new manufactories do not capture
this field In two months' time. Whatever
may have been the experience of China In
regard to her war material , no one can say
that Japan has been disappointed. She knows
what she wants , her officers are competent
soldiers ? , and she hab shown a courage that
no other government In the world has ex
hibited In bu > Ing the most advanced tjpes
of hhlps and guns furnished by private
European manufacturers.
"The last four jears hive peen the birth ,
growth and maturity of extensive plants In
the United States for the manufacture of all
kinds of war material , and they are wise In
making a push for business there. The limit
of the demand for home consumption of war
material Is already In sight In the United
State ? , and the manufacturers must get Into
the foreign market and Japan Is the place
to begin , but to secure patronage they must
work.
"There Is a strong popular sen
timent In Japan In favor of the
United State ? , and Independently of
ima uitt uiiiieu oldies lias me ninuary
advantage to Japan of being a near neighbor
who will never go to war with her. This is
appreciated there , and when the Japanese are
satisfied that as good material can be bought
In the United States as In Europe they will
bio It In large quantities. There' Is Indeed
gcod reason to believe that they will do so
In the near future to some extent by way of
experiment , as they are all aware of the ad
vantages of having new and competent com
petitors In the field "
NEW YORK , Nov. 29. A local paper rajs :
The steamer State of California , which has
been running between this port and the
Clde since- she left the hands of her build
ers four years ago , has been sold to the
Japiiifie government and will be converted
Into a cruiser. This Information comes from
a high source and IB s-nil-olllclally verified
All knowledge- the sale was , however , de
nied at the company's ofllce on Broadway.
"It may be true , " said one of the attaches
of the passenger department , "but we have
not been officially notified us yet. All we
Vtiow Is that we received information from
the other side to the effect that the vessel
would no longer be Identified with the line
and to cancel ill bookings. As a matter of
fuel , she was never owned bv the company.
We simply chartered her. The California has
a gross tonnage of 4,243 tons , and was built
by A. Stephens & Sons of Glasgow , who
launched her in August of 1891. This firm
partially ovvnsd the vesssl , which cost $100-
000 to build. Her withdrawal from the Allan
State line leaves but one passenger steamer ,
the State of Nebraska , In the company's
service between Glasgow and this port. "

x Y. . Nov. 29 An accident , re-
milling In the loss of thirteen or tourlcen
lives , occurred at the Tllley-Foster mines a
little after 3 o'clock this afternoon rare-
man Patrick was descending Into the pit to
take the time of two gangs ot laborers , num
bering about thirty-five men , who were
working nt the bottom , when a vast weight
of earth and rock slid vvllh the force ot
an avalanche from the mouth ot the pit to
the bottom , a distance of 300 feet. The earth
crashed over the men with tremendous force.
Out of one gang of eleven men only five came
out alive , and three ot the men employed
In another gang were taken out dead
Among those Known to be dead are :
MICHAEL GANNON , fireman.
PATRICK H. MURTIIA , foreman.
JOHN 13AGAN , boarding house keeper.
THOMAS DENNIS.
JAMES SMITH.
An Austrian , name unknown , received a
fracture ot the skull and will probably die
The names of the other killed nro at pres
ent unknown. S'veral ot the workmen were
sevciely Injured. The cavcln caused the
greatest excitement , but gangs of men vvero
soon set to work to remove the bodies of
those under the mas' ? of earth. Superintend
ent Tompltlns and Foreman Lynch took
charge of the work , and up to 5 o'clock five
dead bodies fiad been brought to the surface
Murtha was taken out alive , but he d'cd
five minutes after he wa taken home.
Darkness prevented thei continuance of
the work of rescue , and It will not bo until
tomorrow- morning that further effort will
bo made to clear away the ruins ? . It Is
thought nil the others In the pit are Italians
and Auntrlans. There wa some dlfllculty ex
perienced in Identifying several ot the bodies
owing to Iho lerrlble dMlguroment they had
undergone.
WHERE IT HAPPPENE1) .
The accident occurred at the Tllley - Foster
ter mines , located near Carmal. The first
Intimation to those below was Ihe low rum
bling sound which preceded the fall of the
mass The shock came so suddenly that few
wcro able to reach places of safety. Half a
do/en of the workers who were directly under
the ledge from which the mass of earth fell
were burled under tons of debits. The fall
was , tremendous1 , for great pieces of rock and
ere vvero carried along In the avalanche. One
of the first to be brought to the surface was
Foreman Murtha. He was found near the-
lop , pinned down by a huge piece of rock.
The rescuing party dug htm out , and boie
him , still alive , to the fiesh air. Murtha
was badly mangled and his clothing was al-
mot tbfnfrmilst1jarlct : He Va * taken to
his home , but a short distance away/,1 but
died b ° forc- reaching there Murtha was mar
ried , and his wife , along- with the wives of
other unfortunates , stood at the top of the
slope while the rescuers were at work. All
ot the bodies were horribly mangled.
One by one the bodies were brought out
and earrled to the carpenter shop , where an
awe-stricken crowd of people looked upon
the remains and uttered exclamations of woe
when the Identity of each victim was made
krown. Some ot those assembled sought anx
iously after a friend or relative supposed to
be In the rnlns In the pit.
Many accidents have occurred at the Tilley-
Foster mines , but none have been atlcnded by
so great a loss of life as this.
William Ospell and four companions ruc-
ceeded In getting away by running. Five
Ilallans also got out alive. One of tha Ital
ians who went down on the cable Mr for Ihe
purpose of rendering assistance was killed
by a second fall of rock. Despite the dan
gers , Patrick II. Kelly and J. McGIn de
scended the mine In the car. They succeeded
In organizing1 the frightened men who had
not boeri killed outright , secured tools and
commenced to remove the bodies , Mark
Crltchely was removed to his home , suffer
ing from a fracture of thespine. . Patrick
Burns was alee taken to his home. Both
will recover. The bodies believed to be In
the pit are those of James Fox , baehelor ,
batter known as James Smith ; James Clark ,
a stranger , who began work on November 13 ,
and four Italians.
The accident Is supposed to have been
caused principally by the heavy rains , which
opened crevices In many places. The mine
Is owned by the Lackawanna Iron and Coal
company of New York and Scranton , Pa.
Clinton Stephens Is the contiactor In charge
and the men , killed and Injured were In his
employ.

CONSTANT1NOPL15 , Nov 28.-Via ( Sofia.
Dulgarh , Nov. 29. ) The political situation la.
critical and the crisis may be expected
within the ensuing twenty-four hours. The
sultan , who la once more thoroughly under
the Iniluenco of the pilace party , led by
Izzel Hey , etlll declines to irant ; the firmans
applied for by the representatives ot Great
Britain , Russia , Italy aiut Austria , for the
passage of extra guardshlps through the
straits of Uirdancllrs. This Is the more ex
traordinary , ns on Tuesday last Tcwflk
Pnsh.i , the Turkish minister for foreign
affairs , personally assured Sir Philip Currlo.
that the jKirto had determined to grant Im
mediately the permission rcqucsled. It
would thus seem that while the Turkish min
isters arc apparently in favor of gianting the
firmans , the palace party , priests , chambcr-
laln-i and others who arc the real advisers of
Abdul Humid , are opposed to It ns calculated
to lower the dignity of the sultan.
In tha meantime the Mussulmans are-
growing uneasy , looking upon the threatened
advent of the extra gunrdchlps aa nothing
les than a wnrllKo demonstration bctoro
Constantinople.
SITUATION IS CRITICAL.
This Is a dnncerous feature of the affair
and Is adding to the anxiety full on all sides.
In splto of tlit- threatened storm , however ,
the sultan persisted In h's ' n fiitm ! to Issue
the firmans , and has again made an cvnslvo
reply to the British amb.issidor's representa
tions on the subject. Hut Sir Philip Currlo ,
when assurreJ by Tew UK , Pasha that the
firmans would be forlhcomlng' , promptly tele
graphed to the admiral In command ot the
British Mcdlteriancan squadron Instructing
li'm to dispatch n gunboat to the Dardanelles
to bo used lu the Dosphorus as an extra
guardshlp at the disposal of the British
embassy As a result the tvvln-S'crow tor
pedo Rimboit Uryad , 1,070 tons , c-irrylngr
two 47 Inch and four 0-poundcr quick-firing :
guns , was dispatched to the Dardanelles and
It is expected to arrive at ChanaKkal today-
ami pass right on to the Bosplioruy.
The failure of the porte to grant per
mission for the passage of the straits of
Dardanelles , thus puts Sir Philip Currle In a
somewhat embarrassing position , the. only
escape from which Is to order away the
Dryad , or to Insist that uho be allowed to
pass.

The rnltan ID known to be In a state of the
greatest agitation at the news tint the extra
British gunboat Is headed for the Dardanelles
on Iho strength of the as-nirances given the
Uiltlsh ambastudor bv th. mlnlBtcr for for
eign affairs , and consequently the position ot
Tew ilk Pasha Is not n pleasant one. The
latter was sent for at midnight , and an ex
citing Interview took pUce between him
and the Enltan , during which the latter bit
terly and tearfully reproach d Tew Ilk Pasha
for his action In the matter.
SULTANIN , A UAGE.
The pallia tried to Justify hlmsslf by re
calling that the. granting ot the firmans had.
been - i5re < l ti ) In substance by" the sultan ,
and that he , no In duty bound , so Informed
Sir Philip Currle , vvh'n thj latter icnt an
urgent message asking for a prompt reply-
to several communications on the subject.
The fultan insisted tint It wni > Impo-ulblo to
Issue the firmans , us It would cause rioting In
Constantinople , and that thu poworn should
be content with the msas\ir.R taken by the
government to maintain order and not ham
per the authorities by making a demonstra
tion likely to undo nil the good he was en
deavoring to do.
The sultan then Instructed Tew flit Pasha
to do everything possible to Induce the
British ambassador to countermand his order
for the gunboat. Sir Philip , however , re
fused to do so , paying that he was tired of
being tilllcd vlth , and reminding hl vHtor
that Great Britain wan acting fairly within
her treaty rights and upon the nssurnnca
of a le ponslbl * noteof the Turkish govern
ment that the porto had determined to grant
permission for the gunbcatti to pass the
Dardanelles. Tewflk Pat ha lEturned to Iho
palace In a very unenviable frame of mind
and announced the failure of his mission to
the sultan. The latter Is said to have been
fiantic vvllh rage and diove Tevvfilc from
his presence vvllh fierce rollings.
SAID PASHA CALLED IN.
The president of the ctato council , Said
Pasha , who Is supposed to haveHOIIIO Infill-
once of Sir Philip Currle , was thereupon
hniilcdly bent for , and rr.ached the apart
ments of the Fultnn after 1 30 a. in , Abdul
Hamld eagerly besought him lo go Imme
diately to the British ambassador and spare-
no effort to Induce h'm ' to order the recall of
the Dryad. The entreaties of Said Pasha
i-ocni to have bad weight with tha ambas
sador , for Sir Philip finally consented to place
the whole matter at that late hour once
moro before hlu government mid to await
further Instructions , although he l under
stood to have carlo blanche as to what steps
ho thinks It necessary to take.
The British ambassador Is au.iltlng a reply
