Competitor, of Key West, Fla., by the
Spanish gunboat Mcnsajera, on April
215, began in the Court of Justice at
the navy yard here yesterday.
The prosecutor was Lieutenant
Miguel Stiarez. A guard of picked
marine infantry soldiers brought in
the prisoners. The first to enter the
court room was Alfredo LaH'irde, who
is classcd as the leader of the filibus-
tering expedition. After LaBorde
came Dr. 10lias ltedia; a man named
John Milton, said to be a native of
Kansas; William (Jildea, said to be a
Kritish subject, and TeodoroMata.
John Milton, the Kansas man, de-
clared he had been compelled against
his will to accompany the expedition,
which lie had gone to see start, lie
added that he believed La Horde, the
commander of the vessel, was not
aware he was taking a party of ti 1 i-
bustercrs until it was too late. Mil-
ton further said he was going as a
newspaper correspondent to the insur-
gent cainp in order to interview the
members of the insurgent govern-
ment. He afterwards intended to
return to the I nited States.
Therefore, in the name of the king
of Spain, the prosecutor asked that
the death sentence be imposed on all
the prisoners.
Admiral Navarro approved of the
death sentenee being imposed. The
proceedings were terminated for the
day shortly after 1: o'clock, without
a decision being reached.

Philadelphia, May 9 — H. H.
Holmes, probably the most notorious
criminal of our time, was hanged in
Moyamensing prison at 10:12% o'clock
yesterday, but it was not until a
half hour later that he was pro-
nounced dead, though his neck was
broken by the fall.
Tho marvelous nerve of the man
never deserted.him to the very end.
Even on the scaffold he was probably
the coolest person in the assemblage.
Just before the trap was sprung, he
said:
"Gentlemen, I have very few words
to say, in fact I would make no re-
marks at this time, except that by not
speaking I would appear to acquiesce
in my execution. I only wish to say
that the extent of my wrong doing in
taking human life consisted in the
death of two women, they having died
at my hands as the result of a crimi-
nal operation. I wish to state here,
so there can be no chance of misun-
derstanding, that I am not guilty of
taking the lives of any of the Peitzel
family—the three children and Benja-
min, the father—of whose death I was
convicted and for which I am to-day
to be hanged. That is all 1 hnve to
say."
Holmes's letters of farewell were
addressed to his wife in Gilmanton,
N. II., aud Georgians Yoke of Frank-
lin, lad., the so-called third wife. He
also penned a letter of instruction to
Mr. Rotan, his counsel. Absolute
secrecy is maintained regarding the
contents of these letters.
Father Daley knows, if any living
man does, whether or not Holmes
went into eternity with a lie on his
lips, for to him Holmes made a final
confession, but what was confided to
the priest is a secret of the confes-
sional and will never be made public.

STRIKE AT ARMOUR'S.
The Firemen Walk Out on a Demand for
Higher Wages.
Kansas Citv, Mo., May 7.—Tho en-
tire force of firemen employed at
Armour's packing house, forty-eight in

twelve hours' work per day, which

was shut down temporarily until new

to the terms put forward and said they
would pay what was asked. When

met with the statement that if Armour
acceded they would. They proposed
to make Armour's the battleground.
