; Don Jaime, the pretender is ex
pected to issue an address to the
powers and a manifesto to the Span
ish people maintaining his claim to
the Spanish throne.
Hundreds of Don Jaime's agents
have been arrested and cast in pris
ons. vA military dictatorship is actually
in effect in Spain today, though no
official announcement has been made
of it.
Of Melilla vague news came today.
The rigid censorship of the govern
ment Is still unabated and news of
an authentic nature is hard to get.
It has been definitely ascertained to
day, however, that the Spanish have
once again been beaten back from
their advanced position about Melilla
and are now in the town defending
it again jt invasion of the tribesmen
Since the fierce fighting of yesterday
morning there has been desultory
skirmishing all about the city of Me
lilla and the Spanish are being hard
pressed.
The general feeling of unrest
throughout Spain in sections outside
the violent Catalina district was not
quieted by Senor Maura's statement
Of success in Morocco. The premier
issued a circular to the people of
npain, in which he declared that the
Moors were retreating from Melilla
In many quarters this was merely
looked upon as ruse. '
. The official Judgment in the capital
that It require 76,000 Spanish troops
to subdue the MOors indicates that
- the army in the beleaguered city of
Melilla is In sore straits, It became
known today that the 5,000 rein
forcements of the . Riff and Kabyle
tribesmen have Joined the Moorish
army outside Melilla and that, with
this added strength, the Moors are
preparing to make an assault upon
the city s. wall to capture it ir pos-
Bible. The Moors are not centering
all their activities upon Melilla as
dispatches from Morocco today indl
cate. An army of tribesmen is at
tacking Alhucemas and a warship-has
been gent there to aid the city.
Couriers from Melilla, leaving the
city by vessel, tell the most terrible
stories of conditions there. The bar
racks, churches, theatres and schools
nave been practically converted into
hospitals. The city is filled with dead
and wounded. At dawn the rumble
M gun Jlre Opens the day, while cries
of the dying and wounded never
ceases. Fires have broken out and
food supplies are getting scarce. The
mutiny in the garrison added a new
aspect of terrors and several soldiers
have been shot.
The Spanish loss, already upwards
of 8,000 men, is being Increased so
rapidly that the government refuses
to make tb -Authentic figures known, i
The government today Is on the
vsrge of ordering Indiscriminate con-
icripuona. Spata needs more men
but there has been no patriotic awak
enlng yet to overflow the recruiting
offloea. All Spaniards twenty years
of ago have been ordered to report
for military duty. , .
.; This Order has been in force but
was not generally obeyed and the
sons of the wealthy families were not
even compelled to report. This h&B
been another reason for the hatred
against the government. The poor
people claim that the rich have been
treading upon their rights.
Heretofore toe poor boys were
compelled to leave their homes, no
matter how hard they protested nor
what the circumstances were. On
the other hand, the rich young men
either bought their exception or fail'
ed to pay attention to the order of
the government.
The battleship Numancia has been
hastily dlBpatched ' to Alhucemas,
This is to prevent that city from
falling into the bands of the Moors,
The tribesmen's army started to de
sert some of the positions before the
city of Melilla and it -was thought by
the Spanish that they were retreating
but it is now found that they were
merely shifting their ' operations
against the other city. When the
Moors began giving un some of
heights in front of the city this news
was flashed to the capital and word
was given out by the government that
the Spanish had been successful in
battle. With the Iron band used in
Barcelonia and rebellion about crush
ed out the government looks for eas
lest work in dealing with tlje other
revolutionary movements outside the
province of Catalonia.
Many of the more peaceably Inclin
ed residents of the larger towns have
fled and many have tried to leave the
country, but this is practically int
possible. Extra guards have been
stationed all along the frontier, both
in the railroad stations and mountain
passes. The strictest regulations ar-3
prevailing concerning the inooming
of strangers and all must have pass

lties. There were further outbreaks
of feeling against the king today but

HENRY VINCENT FREED
Pardons Refused to Three
Applicants
Vincent Was Serving Term For lar
ceny Colie Fisher, Will Cannon,
and Rule liutz Must Serve Their
Terms.
Governor Kitchln today pardoned
one convict and refused pardons to
three. The unlucky applicants were
Colie Fisher, of Rutherford county,
convicted at the April term of court,
1909, of manslaughter, and sentenced
to four years on the roads; will
Cannon, of Cabarrus uounty convict
ed of murder In the second degree, in
August, 1906, and sentenced to eight
years on the roads; Bule Lutz, of
Burke county, convicted of horse
stealing at the March term of court.
1908, and sentenced to five years in
the pen.
The man pardoned Is Henry Vin
cent, of Orange county, convicted at
the March term, 1909, of the crime
of larceny, and sentenced to 14
months on the roads.
The governor gives the following
reasons for pardon:
"Prisoner was convicted of stealing
pocketbook and contents, worth
$7.50, and sent to the roads for 14
months. After serving about four
months he was placed in Jail on ac
count of physical debility, suffering
from tuberculosis. The-county phy
sician says he will die In jail If con
finement continues much longer. The
county commissioners instructed the
sheriff to apply for his immediate
pardon on account of bis health. The
solicitor and the attorney who aided
him in the prosecution recommend
pardon. Believing that confinement
in a poorly ventilated Jail will hasten
prisoner's death, and acting upon the
doctor's certificate, I pardon prison
er." NATIONAL SHOOTING MATCH.

Declares He Will Fight Wife's Suit

(By Leased Wire to The Times)
White Plains, N. Y.. July 30
Physically exhausted after the gruel
ling cross-examination of District
Attorney Jerome and the searching
questions hurled at him by Justice
Mills. Harry Thaw today had to be
helped from the court-room, where
his trial to establish his sanity is in
progress.
Jerome appeared well-pleased with
his onslaught on the Thaw defense
while the prisoner shuffled to his
chair after being released from the
witness stand and sank into his seat.
Attorney Morschauser, his counsel,
half supported Thaw from the room.
Thaw, towards the last moments on
the stand, bore the look of a hunted
man as he rolled his eyes about the
room and uneasily shuffled his feet.
Jerome, smilingly confident, indicated
that he thought he had) proven that
Thaw still holdjj delusions concerning
Stanford wnrte. -..
Before Thaw was called today his
attorney declared the young Pitts'
burger would fight his wife's divorce
suit to the last dftch.
"You have stated that the alienists
said you were legally but not medi
cally insane?" was the first quest'
tio'n put to Thaw by Jerome.
Thaw summed up his opinion of
the various alienists who had pro
nounced upon his case In this wise:
i tnina u was tne opinion or an
of them that 1 was legally crazy.'
Q. Didn't Dr. Hirsch say you were
a paranoaic?
A. The only part of his testimony
that I recall was the part that made
me laugh.
Thaw took the minutes and read
from them:
'Dr. Hirsch was asked if he ever
made mistakes. He said he made
very few mistakes. Then he was
asked If exaggerated ego was a sign
of paronia when he said not always,
everybody laughed."
The crowd in the court-room ap
preciated the point and laughed at
the quick retort to Jerome.
Q. We are trying to find out If you
are a dangerous lunatic. You have
had. many chances to prove your san
ity and have always been defeated
You have always been sent back. If
you are a dangerous lunatic you can
not be expected to be allowed at
large, can you?
A. That's right; but I have had
only one chance to prove my sanity
and I did that.
Q. When was that?
A. Before the lunacy commission.
They declared me unqualifiedly sane.
Q. Do you think you were legally
insane when you killed White?
A. Yes. I agree with the Jury that
acquitted me for that reason.
Thaw fenced cunningly with Je
rome, fanning himself with a large
palm-leaf fan.
He asked Jerome to put one ques
tion at a time.
I am told that legal insanity has
nothing to do with this hearing," of
fered Thaw. '
Q. What do you mean?
A. That unless I am medically In
sane I cannot be confined.
Q. Why did Hartrldge choose this
Merrill woman to pay her taoney?
A. Ask him. I heard him say he
was paying her money. I never sent
him any to pay her.
Q. Didn't you have that room at
Mrs. Merrill's? :
A. I never did. !
Q. Were you innocent of killing
White? ., '
Morschauser objected to the ques
tion.. Justice Mills declared that as
the witness could : never again be
placed on trial for the crime he
should answer the question.
' A. Under the law of this Btate I
feel that I was innocent, because I
was legally, insane and perhaps medi
cally SO. . k : ..,
THE CONFERENCE
REPORT BROUGHT
BEFORE HOUSE
Chairman Payne Presents the
Report
of the Conference
of Conferees
THE CHANGES MADE
Report Is Accompanied by a State
ment From Chairman Payne Ex-
plaining in Detail tli increases
and Decreases Made in the Duties
of Kach Schedule of the Dill Said
That Reductions in the Dingiey
Rate Largely Predominate While
the Increases Art" Comparatively
Lowered Where They Wen- Too
High.
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Washington, D. C., .Inly So Rep
resenlative Puyne, of New York
cnairnian ot tne ways and means
committee, presented to the house
today the conference report on the
tariff bill which was sent, to confer
ence July 9. The report was accom
panied by a statement from Chair'
man Payne, explaining in detail the!
increases and decreases made in the
duties in each schedule of the bill.
The reduction in the Dingiey duties
largely predominate, while the in
creases are comparatively few in
number, but the increases are on ar
ticles of large use. 'ihe heaviest in
crease in duties is found on wines
and liquors, silks and perfumeries,
and what are termed luxurious ar
ticles. In his statement Mr. Payne
says that he has had an investiga
tion made based on the last census
retujTijjpf 1905; showing the amount
of domestic consumption of articles
upon wmcn uuues nave ueen raiseq
and also the articles upon which
duties have been lowered by the bill
as finally reported from the confer
ence' committee. This has been done
because comparisons have been made
based upon the amount of importa
tions. Duties have been lowered where
they were too high under the pres
ent law, sometimes prohibitive in
character, and for that reason the
importations were comparatively
small. On the other hand, they have
been raised in some instances where
the tariff was insufficient for protec
tion, and the importations were very
great.
The following tables shows the
consumption value of articles on
which rates of duty have been in
creased and decreased in all cases
where amount of production can be
ascertained:
Of the above Increases the follow
ing are perfumes, pomeades, etc.
wines and liquors, silksr" totalling
$579,850,32. -
This leaves a balance of increases
which are not on articles of luxury of
$579,850,322.
In preparing this table the experts
used all of the available information
from the census office and other
sources, but all of these are not suf
ficient to present the total consump
tion of either class of articles. :f
the total amount of consumption
were available the contrast between
the amount of gpods on which duties
were lowered and those increased
would be still more striking.
The tariff bill as agreed to in con
ference shows an almost complete
victory for President Taft. In fact
the victory is so striking that the
members and senators are speaking
of it as the Taft-Aldrich bill. It is
conceded that the president's demand
for free raw material and lower
duties would never have been ac
cepted by the conferees but for" the
work done by Senator Aldrlch. At
least ninety per cent of the changes
made In conference are in line with
the president's suggestion that the
revision of the tariff should be down
ward.
The principal items In dispute, viz:
iron ore, coal, lumber, hides, crude
petroleum, hosiery and gloves, were
adjusted to meet the approval of the
president, the duties being reduced
and hides to go on the free list after
October 1, together with the cut on
boots and shoes, sole and upper
leather, harness, saddles and saddle
ry. The reduction on Doots ana snoes
is ten per cent and the reduction on
the other article remain as hereto
fore published. The president wan
strong enough to knock out the joker
which threw gasolene, naptha and
similar oils produced from petroleum
into the basket clause which provided
a duty of twenty per cent ad valor
em, and these articles go on the free
list with crude petroleum.- Print pa
per. Is put at oneslxteentb of a cent
a pound, which Is equivalent to $3.76
per 'short ton. If Representative
Mann, of Illinois, adheres to his pub
lic declaration he will vote against
the conference report. Such action,
it is asserted, may endanger the adop
tion of the report. The duty of $3.75
on print paper was in response to an
alleged threat from Senator Lafol
lette, who promised to do all kinds
of things to the conference report if
the duty was reduced to three dollars
a ton. The president, it is said, did
not insist oiv a lower duty on print
paper. i
The salary of the marshal of the
United States court of customs ap
peals, which is to be located here, is
fixed at $3,000 per annum, and the
salary of the assistant clerk to the
clerk of the court is fixed at $2,500
an Increase of $500 over the .sum
named in the amendment as origi
nally passed. These are the only
changes made in provision of the cus
toms court.
An examination of the bill as final
ly agreed on by the conferees is more
in keeping with the measure as it
passed the house. Nearly all the re-
ductions by the senate were accepted
by the house conferees. These are
two items in the billl that the house
conferees made a hard and stubborn
light for, viz: the increased duties on
gloves and hosiery. But the presi
dent would not consent to the in
crease, so the senate amendments re-
storing the Dingiey rates prevailed,
with the exception that a slight In
crease was made on cotton, fashioned
There were two items that the
house made a hard fight for: the in
creased duties on gloves and hosiery,
but the president, would not bulge
from the stand he had taken in favor
of the senate amendments, and so
the house conferees reluctantly
yielded.
The increases and decreases on some
of the schedules are as follows:
Lumber The duty on shingles in
creased from 30 cents to 50 cents per
thousand. A duty of 15 per cent. Is
placed on briar wood and laurel wood
for pipemakers' use, now free.
Cotton This schedule Is reconstruct,
ed and readjusted to bring the duties
up to those collected during the first
four years of the operation of the
Dingiey law and to the rates then col
lected under said law. Since that time
the rates have been lowered, in some
cases from 60 to 6 per cent., by court
decisions. These new rates are equiv
alent to an 'addition, on the whole; of
i per cent, ad yalorem increase dver
that collected undw . the present law
for the year 1908. Cotton hosiery, fash
ioned, valued at not more than one
dollar per dozen, from 50 to 70 cents
per dozen pairs. More than one dollar
and less than one dollar and fifty cents
per dozen pairs', from 60 to 85 cents per
dozen pairs. More than one dollar and
fifty cents and not more than two dol
lars, from 70 to 90 cents per dozen pairs.
The remaining rates on stockings are
the same as under the present law.
Hemp. Flax and Jute Hemp increas
ed from J20 to $22.50 per ton. Hemp,
hackled, from $40 to $45 per ton. Cer
tain high-priced laces made on the
Lever or Gothiough machine increased
from 60 to 70 per cent. The cheaper
laces remain at the same rate as In
the present law.
Paper and Pulp Surface coated pa
pers, wholly or partially covered with
metal, from three cents per pound and
20 per cent., to five cents per pound
and 20 per cent, ad valorem; other sur
face coated paper, from two and one-
half cents per pound and 15 per cent.,
ad valorem, to five cents per pound.
Lithographic prints, including post
cards, cigar labels, decalomanias and
other like articles, have been- readjust
ed as to classification and rates. On
many of these there has been an In
crease while on some the rates remain
practically the same. It Is not possible
at this time to state exactly the chang
es made.
D)."oreascd.
Metals Irn ore from 40 to 15 cents
per ton. Pig Iron. Iron kentledge, and
spiegeleissen from $4 to $2.50 per ton.
