La Luc ha, in edi torial upon the Imprisonment and re cent release of General Julio Sanguilly, says that the position of Sanguilly is awkward. After being freed at the request of the American government, the editorial concludes, it would seem necessary for President McKinley to adopt measures even more firm than those of President Cleveland. The sit uation, according, to the editorial, re quires that McKinley's orders .gainst filibustering should be carried out with greater precision than the order of Cleveland. Unless this is done La Lucha is of the opinion that the policy adopted by Premier Canovas del Castil lo of the exclusion of the offenders against the laws of Spain cannot pro duce practical results. General Julio Sanguilly appeared be fore United States Commissioner Locke this morning for a hearing on the charge of conspiracy to send out an ex pedition against the Kingdom of Spain. The government attorney asked for an adjournment until afternoon, saying that witnesses would then arrive from the Ndrth. At that hour he asked for a further postponement of ten days. This was refused by the commissioner, who said that the government had had ample time in which to prepare its case, and that It would be an injustice to Sanguilly to detain him any longer. Spanish Vice Consul Potous was sub poenaed to appear before the commis sioner, but he refused to do so, relying on his official status in his refusal. A deputy marshal was placed aboard the Dauntless to-day, in accordance with a recent order of the United States Court. The boat will now probably be allowed to leave port for the first time in several months. A Free Silver Souvenir. Washington Dispatch to New York Tribune. Representative McMillln, of Tennes see, has a souvenir of the Chicago con vention which he prises highly and is going to lend to the Centennial Exposi tion at Nashville. It is the gavel used by the chairman in the vain attempt to restore order after the nomination of Wm. Jennings Bryan for President.

The head is made of wood from twenty-one States, and the handle is of hickory from a tree growing at the Hermitage, where President Jackson passed the last years of his life. Mr. Bryan's pres ence in Washington to-day naturally renewed Interest in Mr. McMilUn's sou venir. Hftiu Doubtful of the Future. Washington Dispatch to Chicago Hecord. The elections in Ohio Monday remind politicians that it has always been cus tomary in that State to have both par ties represented in the United States Senate, and the present is the first time for many years that there have been two RepubUcans. Mr. Manna is not su. nerstitious. but he has sufficient doubt of his election by the next Legislature for the regular term that he has decide ed not to rent a residence in Washing ton. There will be the liveliest kind of a fight over the Legislature this fall; with Mr. Brice and Mr. John R. Mc Lean as the candidates for the Senate on the Democratic side, and Mr. Hanna for the Republicans. As ail of these gentlemen are wealthy and believe in persuasive powers the Ohio voters need not go barefooted next winter. lamed for a Million. San Francisco Dispatch.
