w AffiiiNOTox, June s.—The testi-
mony of Frederick W. Lawrence, re-
ferred to by Mr. Morgan in the Sen-
ate, was taken privately before the
subcommittee of the Senate commit-
tee on foreign relations May M in re-
gard to the situation in l uba. law-
rence Mated thafc he had gone to Cuba
as a newspaper i-oricspcnilenlsnd had
been expelled. He had found it im-
possible to secure much information
lrom the Spanish authorities and
learned afterwards that what was
given out was untrue.
Referring to the trial of Uborde
and Milton, captured on hoard the
Competitor, Lawrence said that
neither the prosecution nor the de-
fense asked any i|iiestions, that the
five were tried at once and that the
trial, which resulted in the sentence
of death, lasted less than a day.
Asked if there was an interpreter
present, Lawrence said there was, but
that lie did not make his presence
known to the prisoners until they
were asked whether they had any-
thing to say in their own defense.
These long statements were read by
the judge advocate in Spanish. The
evidence was given in Spanish and not
translated in their hearing. "Their
defender did not communicate to them
the substance of it nor utter one sin-
gle word to them. ' said Lawrence.
•I have every reason to think
their defending counsel could not
•peak hnglish. Then they were asked
what they had to say in defense, but
notin Knglish. The presiding officer of
the court martial there were ten of
them, M hat we might call the jury —
the presiding oflicer'of that body sai<l
to l.aborde in Spanish. What have
tTo i to say?' Ilt< said a few words and
ao it went on till the l«,t man was
reached William i.ildea and the pre-
siding officer spoke to him. and he did
not understand him, and then the in-
terpreter got up and said: "l)o vou
wish to say anything'." liildea arose
and s ,d. 'All I have to sav is I do not
understand one word that has been
said to day for or against me, and at
any rale. I appeal to both the llrilish
and American consuls.' There were
two prisoners who could not speak
and understand Spanish Milton and
Oildea.

Wahiiinoton, June 8.—In the Senate
Mr. Allisou reported a partial agree-
ment on the sundry civil appropriation
bill, lie exp'ained that a number of
items were still open, including those
for new public buildings at Salt Lake
f Ity and at the capitals of the new
states of Idaho, Wyoming and Mon-
tana and additions for the public
buildings at Kansas City, Savannah,
lia., and Camden, N. J.
Mr. Dubois made a vigorous plea
for public buildings at the new capi-
tals. He said that it was notorious
that the speaker of the house and the
chairman of the house committee on
public buildings and grounds declined
to approve any new public buildings
And yet Speaker Reed resided in a
place with 3*3,000 people with a public
building costing $l,!SIi,000 and the
re presented by Chairman
Milliken of Maine, of the House com-
mittee on public buildings, had federal

l'orter, superintendent of tlio last cen-

yesterday. There ho studied the in-
dustrial and manufacturing conditions
of tlio empire. Said he: "During my
stay in Japan I think I visited over
200 mills, factories and shops, cover-
ing every importaut industry. The
weaving or spinning of textiles con-
stitutes the most important industry,
there are fully a million weav-
ers returned in the census, u50,-

force of weavers has enabled Japan
not only to supply nearly all her own
wants, but swell her exports of
textiles from J5."il.9!IO in lSsft to -

than fortyfold. In the investigation
of the silk industry I spent some time,
where I found the current wages for
female weavers from three to four
cents per day for young girls and
from ten to fifteen cents per pay for
expert weavers. I also paid particular
attention to cotton spinning and
wearing. I see no reason why the
exports of cotton to India and China
will not reach 8o0,000,000 before an-
other decade. The total value of the
textile industry of Japan mav reach
nearly 8100,000,000 thisyear. Some of

Having disposed of the McKinley

request of the reporter, addressed
himself for a few moments to Thomas

"Yes, Mr. I'latt is preparing some
kind of a coup I am informed that
it is to be sprung either before the
national committee or on the floor of
the convention. He has served notice
repeatedly during the past few days
that he would not give up his tight
until the nomination was announced,
and there was no longer any oppor-
tunity to enter his protest against the
Ohio candidate. Just what he intends
to do is not clearly manifest at this
time, but I have letters from at least
one member of the national com-
mittee. to whom Mr. Piatt, has written,
in which one of his moves is named.
He intends, if possible, to control the
preliminary roll in the convention
and to use the advantage he might
obtain by that ftfgcess against Mc-
Kinley."

tory and providing for the laying out

passed very quickly.
Mr. Loud of ( alifornia, chairman of
the Postoflice committee, moved to
suspend the rules and pass the Senate
bill to amend the law defining fourth
class mail matter. The amendment
related solely to franked matter, con-
fining it to "written or printed mat-

can be franked. lie explained that

twice as much to transport the mails

nt w York, June s.—The section of
formed like others pertaining to'his
office with care and circumspection
and in full view of his responsibility
to the people and liis obligation to
subserve the public welfare, it is diffi-
cult to understand why, under the
i constitution, it should be necessary to
submit proposed legislation to execu-
tive scrutiny except to invoke the ex-
ercise^ of executive judgment and in-
vite independent executive action.
The unpleasant incidents which ac-
company the power would tempt ita
avoidance; if such a course did not in-
volve an abandonment of constitu-
tional duty and assent to legislation
l'or which the Kxecutive is not willing
to share the responsibility.
"I regret that I am constrained to
disapprove an important appropriation
bill so near the close of the session of
Congress. 1 have, however, by im-
mediate action after the receipt of the
bill, endeavored to delay as little as
possible a reconstruction of this pro-
posed legislation, though I am thus
obliged to content myself with a less
