Speeches were delivered by Hon. J. Astorgas Pereira, Consul General of Chile, and Commander Wilson of the General Baquedano. Seated at the banquet board were Hon. J. Astorgas Perefra, Consul General of Chile, H. Aldunate, ex-Consul of Chile, and the following named officers of the General Baquedano: Commander A. Wilson, Lieutenant E. Errazuriz, Lieu- tenant E.

He told me that he had asked | the Judge to be excused, as he was on a panel in the Superior Court. It was a/ curlous excuse to make. I shall ask the Judge about it Judge Cabaniss was seen yesterday af- ternoon, and said he could not say defi- nftely whether Baum had asked to be ex- cused. He had a faint recollection of one of the jurors telling him that he was busy | ‘aml as the case would probably take a; long time he could not spare the time.| The excuse was not accepted, but the | Judge could not eay whether or not Baum | was the man who gave it. | | Balliff Fleming, who served Baum with | the summons, said yesterday: “I am al-| ! most positively certain that Baum did not | ask to be excused. Atter returning from serving the summonses on the ten jurors | { 1 met the Judge in the basement and we went upstairs together to the court room, entering _through the warrant clerk's room. The Judge took his seat on_the bench and I dictated the names to him, which he handed to the clerk. Dan Sul- livan was sitting beside the clerk, and | wrote the names on slips of paper. It only took a minute or two, and I looked at my list to see that the names corre- ponded. Just the clerk was placing the slips in the ballot-box, Baum, whom 1 had seen among a group of mien at the | door of the court room, came in and took | a seat on a chair. He sat there until his name was called, and went straight to| the jury-box. His was the thira name lled. I noticed him particularly, be- use he had told me he would fool me and would not serve on the jury, and when he took his seat on the chair he | sort of smiled at me—I suppose after what | he had said to me. I am certain none of the ten asked to be excused, but I| recollect that two out of the previous fif- teen did so and were excused.
