Today some evidence was given in behalf of . the prisoner s previous good character. The counsel on- both sides summed up briefly and the judge's charge was brief.

Little Rock, Ark., June 16. Judge Barrow, father of the conv'cted kid napper, in an interview this evening said he was not surprised at his son's conviction.

Wichita, Kah.,1 June 16. Hennessey, a small town in euumem uiuauuu, caped being blown away by a cyclone by a remarkable scheme oi jonn Rhodes, one of Hennessey's citizens. About 4 o'clock a cloud began to rorm and soon a funnel-shaped cloud, was swooping down upon the town. When it was within fifty yards oi tne town Rhodes aimed his big cannon at it and discharged the contents of salt and sulphur. The result was the imme diate bursting of the cyclone cioua. The clouds scattered and fell on the ide of the town, doing no damage whatever. This is the first time Rhodes' scheme has worked in extra good shape. Since April 1 Hennessey naa ueen guarded on all four sides by large can- non. Hhodes is empioyeu w wu cyclones. Whenever one forms he loads n V..Q nonnnn Q nA mOUIltS tfie nOHS, preparatory to riding to the cannon in which direction the cyclone is forming.

THE LISTP tlRTHLESS; From Which Cuban Soldiers Are Be ing Paid. Brooke and Gomez Consider ing What Best tj Do. Fire Thousand Armed Men Gather in One Town. They Cannot be Paid as They re Not on the ListsNew Lists likely. Havana. June 16. a with BrookA tAflav in i-AVU w l m the Cuban army lists furnished by the vuuan assemDiy, which have proved N very erroneous. The names of hun dreds of Cubans known to have served m tne war do not appear in thpm. wTiile the- names of others who joined after peace was declared are on the lists. Gomez suggested that a list of Cuban officers be appointed to make a list. A despatch from Remedios says that five thousand armed Cubans have en tered the city and claim navment. al-' though their names are not on the list. American troops were sent to Remedios to prevent trouble and thev an now guarding the town. The attitude of the Cubans is peaceful. By -order of Brooke six thousand ra tions were distributed amonsr Cuban soldiers in Havana who are also claim ing pay. ANTI-SPANISH DEMONSTRATIONS. . Havana;" June 16. Gen. Brooke has served notice on the Cuban leaders thaf anti-Spanish demonstrations must cease. At a cabinet meeting the governor-general expressed his disgust at recent outrages at Luines,, Sab Antonio de los Banos and Mariel. Outside of official circles no doubt Is expressed that an insurgent vendetta Is behind attacks on the Spanish planta tions and stores. Cuban and Spanish newspapers alike ascribe them to polit cal malice. The Insurgent papers de fend and even applaud the outrages as examples of summary Justice. The Spanish organs are just as vehement in for theimmediate -punishment of the au!thors. Constant agitation of the question Is slowly waking the old hatred between the natives and the peninsulars, and the situation in the ungarrisoned coun try towns is growing more serious every day. Unless Gen. Brooke makes lone of his happy blunders and soon givea the rival editors a chance to forget their differences in common ' protest against American despotism it is not unlikely that the governor general will have a race war on his hands before the end of the eummer.
