He pointed out that | the Platt amendment was drawn pri- | marily with the view to protecting a weak ‘nluon against outsiders, as well as against internal strife. and would not in- | terfare with Cuban independence. He ex- plained that the Washington interpreta- tion of clause 3 of thd scheme of rela- tlons was that the United States claims the right to intervene solely for the pur- ose of preserving the independence of the filand, maintatning an adequate force to | protect life, property and individual lib- | erty and completing the obligations im-| sed by the treaty of Paris upon the | | Pnitaa Btates.

Day of Incident in the Trial of the Lawyer Accused of the Murder of Aged Millionaire Rice. p —_— NEW YORK, April 4—There were at least two incidents during to-day’s cross- examination of Charles F. Jones, the valet and secretary of Millionaire Willlam Marsh Rice, which rose above the ordin- ary. Ome was a remark made by Justice Jergme, who presides at the hearing, and which probably shows why Lawyer Pat- rick; accused with Jones of the murder of the former Texan, has all along taken the accusations of Jomes against himself with a demeanor aimost bordering on con- tempt. ‘Attorney Moore for the defense had asked that when the hearing closed for the day it be not resumed until Tuesday. Jgsteldce Jerome seemed willing and then a Tl “It |3 necessary that Jones' testimony as to this murder should be corroborated. He being a self-confessed accomplice, his tes- timony alone is not enqugh upon which to hold Patrick.” Attorney Moore tersely added to this: “We understand that, and we suppose the District Attorney-does, too.” To-night those who are watching the case closely are wondering what corrobo- rative testimony tbe State will Introduce to_sustain the claims of Jones. other incident brought out in the clearest light the iffcomitable nerves of Patrick. In the fade of the reiterated story of Jones that Patrick had instigated the forgeries and the actual murder. the .| 1atter took his place in the court proceed- ings with the utmost nonchalance. At one perlod it became necessary that a statement made by Jones be read, and it was given into the hands of one of the counsel for the defense for that purpose. This was the statement in which the valet claimed Patrick killed Rice, and which he has since denied. The reader hesitated and stumbled over the written words. Suddenly Patrick spoke up, exclaiming: ;‘Htte. guess 1 can make it out; I'll read t.” This was agreed to, and in a loud, clear voice he read: “ ‘P’ got a towel and sponge and saturated the sponge th a colorless liquid he had in a bottle. Then he went into the room where ‘R." lay in bed. I (Jones) was not in thé room, but opened the door and peeped in.. ‘P.’ was ng over ‘R." with the cone-shaped in his hand, and he pressed it down face. stand towel over ‘R.’8’ . Patrick was still reading. with no show of emotion, when Justice Jerome ordered a recess for lunch. The P's and R's in | the statement stand for Patrick and Rice.

Here Justice Jerome struck in with the remark: “This witness is = wveak, wicked and un- fortunate man. He is a self- murderer and deserves contempt, but I won't allow you to insult him.” WILL REDUCE THE FLEET IN ASIATIC WATERS Bureau of Navigation Smaller Navy in the Far East. WASHINGTON, April 4—The prospec- tive reduction of the United States naval force on the Asiatic station is beginning to assume definite form, but thus far the matter has not been considered by the President nor has Secretary Long had an opportunity to confer with Rear Admiral Hon. Xnich has charse of the asstgnment o of ships to the various stations, has pro- ed that. there be reduction _of the orce from the Aslatic station. This has been based on a recommendation of the needs of the navy and without reference to any of the political questions involved. Should it be decided to reduce the force the homeward movement of vessels would probably not begin before summer. As yet no consideration has been given to the dispasition of the ships when they are relieved from service in the Far East. It Is sald, however, that the North Atlan- tlc squadron will be augmented by at least one or two ships, while the South Atlantic and Pacific stations also will be rein- forced.
