The taking of testimony in the cast? Isaac Gravelle, charged with sending letters to the Northern Pacific ofimficials demanding money for Mont. munity, has begun at Helena, Among tbe witnesses was the warden Df the penitentiary. Tack Conley, who testified to Gravelle having served two terms in the penitentiary. The theory of the prosecution is that three of the threatening letters received by the railroad company were written in the penitentiary by the cellmate of Gravelle, a man named Harvey Whitton, who is serving an eighty-yeasentence for second degree mur der. Conley identified two of the threatening letters as being written in the handwriting of Whitton. The paper they were written on is sent out by a school of correspondence, and was identified by a peculiar water mark. One of the letters Identified was addressed to the board of directors of the road, and was dated July 16, 1903, the day Gravelle was released from prison. It was the first, making a demand for $25,000. The second was without date, and directed the railroad company how to deliver the money and what the denominations were to be. There are eighty witnesses in attendance, and the trial will consume about two weeks. of San Domingan Affairs. State department advices from San Domingo indicate that the last revolution In that island was caused by a breach between General Jiminez, who aspired to succeed Wos y Gil as president, and the provisional government which has been in control of the island since Wos y Gil was deposed. It is supposed that Minister Powell's inflexible attitude toward the provisional government, which he refused to recognize until it had agreed to admit the validity of American claims, may have had something to do with this breach.
