SAX FRANCISCO,Sept. ~G.—The department of ti superior court in which Theodore Durant is on trial for the murder of Blanche Lamont was a scene of excitement yesterday. The announcement by the district, attorney that "the people rest." and the subsequent statement of attorneys for rlv -.It feisse that they would be ready to proceed at once, drew to the city hail a crowd that cor1 not secure a-lium-ance tn a room 10 times the size oc rue apartment set apart for tii*1 trial.

The hot. sultry day was iutor, iied in the crowded courtroom. Although the occasion v.\«s of riio grav import.inee

Attorney Eugene Duprev, for the defense, then began his opening statement. His intimation that the murder •-was committed, not by Durant, but by

Rev. John George Gibson, pastor of Emanuel church, made in a significant allusion to tiie resemblance of the preacher's handwriting with the lettering on the patter enclosing Blanche Lamont's rings, created a marked sensation. The address of Duprey began with definitions of the dudes of jurors in capital cases. He attacked the newspapers for the articles written and published concerning Durant, and warned the jury against improper deductions from circumstantial evidence. Dnprey then said: "The district attorney has presented a strong case of circumstantial evidence, which, at first, would create a strong suspicion of the guilt of the defendant. We claim that beyond a strong suspicion the prosecution has failed to go. We contend that with all the testimony introduced the only issues to be passed on liave not been arrested. Where did Blanche Lament forfeit- her life? When did she meet her death Who caused her death "These questions have not been answered. A fourth question is the cause of death. A ILrli has not and can not be answered. What was the motive of the accused

ta:.ce the life of Blanche

Lamont tumor the testimony thus far we claim to ask the court at this time to instruct the jury without one word to acquit. As a duty to the defendant, his parents and the community, his lips should be unsealed. You are entitled to and should know where Durant was an-i what he did on April 3 from the time he arose in the morning until lie wein to bed ac night. "The district attorney promised to §how that Durant was not where he should have been on the afternoon of April 8, namely, at the lecture room the Cooper medical college. Where is that proof? No allusion to it has been made. The prosecution lias called between -10 and oO witnesses. Of that number who have given material evidence Three elderly ladies, throe young ladies, a pawnbroker, a Victoria iiotelkeeper, ami a police court shyster and his colleagues have furnished the substantial testimony upon which the prosecution relies. Wo insist that the proper proof is wanting to connect tho defendant with the murder. We will show that other men had access to Emanuel church. Proof may point to others. ••Let me carry you along the ground upon which we ask for a verdict for tiie defense. First, you shall hear from the mother of Durant, how lie was interested in church work, and what he did for Emanuel church. We will tell you how he met Blanche Lamont, and of iiis associations with her. Mrs. Durant will tell how her son was dressed when he left home on r,he morning of April 3. She will tell what her son did that svening. The good repute and honorablo character of the defendant will be proven. The attendance at the Cooper medical college, and his general demeanor will be shown. "On the morning of April

Durant

left his home and walked toward the house of George King, so that he might have a helper that evening to fix the gas in the church. He accidentally met Blanche Lamont whom he tuld he was on the way to King's house, and asked her to accompany him. .She said that she did not have lime to accompany thim before school, and requested Durant to accompany her to school. Ho acquiesced iti this and accompanied her as far as Sutler street and Octavia, while the defendant went on to Webster street to rho medical college. We will show you these facts, and what

Durant did from his arrival there .until noon hour, when he walked to BroadWay and to a oluir overlooking the bar. "We wall show you his return to the. college at 1 :-J0, and with what was done from then until Then tout he •went to Dr. Cheney's lecture, and we will produce his notes, different from uny other s'udenrs' and show you lie is marked pre.-vut. Dr. Cheney will tell yon that lie was present. "We will show you that after this lecture he took the Sutton street car to Polk, to Mission and Ninth, out Mission and then to the church, and alone lid he walk into the church, We will »how that he arrived at the church at Aibo, and not before that he entered by the door on the south side that lie went iirto the library, took a book and a card lie wanted. He removed his coat, neatly iokled it, took out his watch so that it -W'.fuid not drop out while he was fixing' yas jets. lie then wont up to the

ceiling by a ladder and fixed the gas burners. We wul siiow you rhat when the gasiltters turned on the 72 gas jets much gas escaped. Through lack of ventilation this gas remained in the atmosphere udar the ceiling, and when Durant went to rhe ceiling he inhaled tiie tr.-is. which made him sick, as testified hy Kl g. "You are asked to believe that this man accused of murder went directly down io ..ecitre a witness to his crime. We Y, ru:iS was on the platform lying down and when King returned went down to the kitchen to take the seltzer. We will show that upon the request of .King Durant helped King to carry a cabinet organ down stairs into the Sunday school room. Then Durant and King left the church together, Durant- putting on his coat at the door. It being King's dinner time, Durant walked with him part of the distance, then Durant- returned home, meet-iny: a lady on flu1 way to whom he said (he cas made mm s:cic.

If we can prove what we, have outlined now, we should have the spirit of Blanche Lamont call upon you to re- I alize the truth, and if her spirit could come before you it would say, "Let the defendant stand out let him be free, for he harmed me not.' Theodore Durant is innocent we stand for his life we demand his liberty."

After a recess, Mrs. Matilda Durant, mother uf the prisoner, took the stand as the first witness for the defense. She told abo-t her own birth aud marriage in Toronto, where Theodore was born. The family came here in December, 1879. ohe detailed the childhood of the pri.-oner, and his education at various schools. During vacation he worked at various occupations he had money in the bank. She testified on the morning of April 3 her son was dressed in a blue cheviot suit, the blue trousers of which she identified, and the garment was introduced in evidence.

Mrs. Durant stated that her son returned home? that evening shortly after o'ciock dressed in the same blue cheviot suit. He wore no overcoat, bhe testified that the trousers were a local tailor. Wlien on the morning of April 3 he hissed his mother goodby aiid saluted her in the same manner when he returned at- night. The family dined that evening at G:lo, but the witness said Theodore had little appetite and In uid not Took well.

Formed Succeeds in Getting Safely Out to Se:«—Itecent Engagements as Keporteri by L,etter—Tlio Cuban Situation—Veterans to Figlit, the Rebels. BOSTON, Sept. 20.—There is intense excitement among the Cuban residents here over information that the most formidable expedition from this country has succeeded in getting out to sea safely and that, if all has gone well, it will be on haud to materially aid the fighting Cubans in their next big battle. Three dates were fixed for the steamer's departure, but at the last moment, each time, it was learned that agents of the Spanish government had become cognizant of the proposed expedition, and it was n«ot.5.-:iry to call a hale. But now the steamer has stolen away, and wirli men. arms and ammunition and new devices i:i' the way of maehinery of war is on the high seas, carrying with it tli" hopes of thousauds of Cubans in this country.

General Enrique Coilazo is in charge of the expedition, and with him are hundreds of the flower of Cuban youth, with a large force of officers, including (he general's brother, Coionel Tomas Coilazo, Captain Soler and Lieutenants Carlos Martin Poey, Tomas Laza ar I Carlos Macia Second Lieutenant Jorge Serpa, Dr. Autiga, Captain Gabriel O'Farrell a"d Captain Cnspieve of the French army and a French chemist who proposes to do something in the way of dynamite warfare which will be a surprise to the Spaniards. With these are 250 men determined to fight to the last for their country.

The vessel's cargo includes 2,500 rifles, 900,000 rounds of ammunition aud 600 machetes. Besides all this, each man has his personal arms, and there are 400 pounds of dynamite, with the material to manufacture death-dealing bombs. The most unique bomb is the Flecha, or arrow, which is to be fired from a bow over the heads of the most forward of the enemy's ranks, and, exploding the rear, creates consternation and havoc.

RECENT ENGAGEMENTS.

Letters Furnish a Different Account From the Wire Iieport. NEW YORK, Sept. 2(5.—Reports of the results of the engagements in Cuba, which are received through insurgent sources in this city, differ materially from the reports sent from Havana, where a press censorship is maintained. On Monday President Palma received a letter from General Antonio Maceo, describing the victory which he and his brother, General Jose Maceo, achieved over the Spanish forces in the Pass of Santa Maria. Yesterday President Palma received a long letter from General Carlos Roloff. which describes a spirited angagement that took place near Las Pasitos, which was in hailing distance of Los Villas. The letter, which was dated Los Villas, Sept. 16, says: "On the 6th 1 found myself in camp near the plantation of Poyo Azul with forces under the command of Colonels Joaquin Castillo and Pedro Diaz, which included the celebrated 'Cayo IJess' infantry regiment under Jose Rafael Zedon. He told me that it would l.e comparatively easy to capture the forces of De Faguasco by surprise. I placed under Zedon 70 picked cavalrymen, with whom he attacked the Spanish fort. He was stoutly resisted, however, and had to retreat-. I reinfoi'ced him with the 'Cayo Hess' regiment, led by Captains Esquirra and Sierra, and later on by our entire troop of cavalry. We advanced and after many engagements, lasting until the Otii, Lieutenant Pomeras, who commanded the fort, unconditionally surrendered. We left him his sword but captured 20 of the civil guard witn considerable stores of arms, ammunition and provisions. In this engagement we had six killed and 12 wounded. The Spanish loss was heavy. •'On the 11 th we mado a junction with General Searafin Sanchcz at Los Pasitos, where we were at once attacked by a Spanish column which Ave repulsed. Tiie enemy retreated and took liis|position in a strongly fortified house. We stormed it repeatedly, but heard that reinforcement for the enemy was coming. We met this reinforcement and at this date are keeping up a running fire

to retreat along the road to Santa Spiritus." President Palma anxiously awaits further news of this engagement. If the Cubans succeed in gaining a strong footnold in Santa Spiritus they will come into possession of a stragetic point of great advantage.

VETERANS ONLY FOR CUBA. No More ISoys Will lie Sent to the Insurgents

MADRID, Sept. 20.—The government has decided to hereafter send only veterans to Cuba for the suppression ot the insurrection there.

of increasing the depth of the lake I -waterways "had been about £1,000,000 1 per foot, and for the principal harbors about- $-3,000,000, making the total cost about $1,500,000 for each additional foot in depth obtained. This amount represented the value of each foot in depth that might be secured by regulating the lake levels in such manner as to vary but little from the present •high water plane. It was probable I that the fluctuations of lake levels I which under present conditions were over four feet, might- be reduced to less than one foot, and the low water depths of channels increased ut least three feet thereby.

Thomas T. Johnston, assistant engin«nr of the Chkv.go proI seated a paper on the same general subject treated, by Mr. Wisner, the outflow aud levels of the great lak -s. and was I followed by G. W. Blasdellwith a paper I on the same subject.

Professor Jimory 11. Johnson, ineiructor ot transportain and commerce, oniverscy ot Petnisyivauia, ii.'^r (liscussed "fianway Traffic and learnings.'' I "bectionalism and llailways" was the 'subject of a thoughtful paper by Lewis M. iiiaupt, railway and caaai engineer of Philadelphia.

The paper prepared by Mr. Alexander R. Smith, secretary of the executive canal committee of New York, was upon the subjc-ct, "an improved Eric canal offered to tiie lake commerco as a substitute for a ship c- .-ial."

Mr. Smith stacea that the people of Xew York are intesely Interested in cheap transportation and the commerce of the great lakes. He detailed at length the proposed plans for improving: the Erie canal and expressed the belief that when the work of deepening that waterway had been completed, the canal would easily accommodate the lake traffic to the sea.

A number of resolutions were offered, among them being one by President William Livingston of the Lake Carriers' association, calling upon congress to take immediate steps to increase the width of the channel of the Detroit river at the limekiln crossings to not less than 300 feet. Another, presented by Hon. H. Seymour of Sault Ste. Marie, recommends that the entire subject of lake levels be referred to the international commission to be appointed by the United States and the Dominion of Canada. Mr. Haupt of the University of Pennsylvania presented a resolution which calls for the appointment of a committee to prepare a measure for presentation to congress for the unification of local interests and the adoption of a rational plan for the improvement of the waterways and lakes. All the resolutions were referred without action.

Near tbp close of the day's session a lively discussion was precipitated by Captain Drake of Buffalo who referred to the probable lowering of the lake level by the opening of the Chicago drainage canal, declaring that the lowering of the water would mean a loss of carrying capacity eoual. to 20 tons an inch for all modern lake vessels. The springing of that subject was sufficient to arouse loud calls for Engineer Cooley of the Chicago canal. Mr. Cooley defended the Chicago project, facing considerable opposition to do it, but the discussion soon terminated and the harmony of rhe proceeding:? maintained. It was evident, however, that it would not have required mucn to precipitate a lively aud bitter debate.

Alter the adjournment of the convention in the afternoon the committee on nominations decided to recommend the re-election of all the present oilicers of the association.

Judicial Convention.

MOUNT VIVRNON, O., Sept. 20.—On the 20th ballot, yesterday afternoon the Democratic circuit judicial convention of the J-'ifth district nominated Judge A. A. Thayer of Stark county. The candidates regularly presented to tho convention were Thayer of Stark, R. H. Campbell of Ashland, Judge Samuel M. Hunter of Licking, Judge Jabez Dickey of Morrow, Judge S. M.

While the amount of money paid for pensions will not be materially different from that of past- years, it appears that there has been added to the pension rolls during the year about a thousand names in excess of those that have dropped out, so there has been an incvease instead of a decrease. There have been a great many outstanding pension claims adjusted during the year and that accounts for the large increase.
