CLAIMS AGAINST SAMOANS.

likely to give r.s >to any disagreement, be

HAWES’ SIDS BEING HEARD.
An Attempt to Prove an Alibi on the
Night of the Murder.
Birmingham, Ala., April 27.—The
crowd attending the Hawe9 trial grows
more ejger, anti more dense. Tbe number
of ladies among the spectators shows the
large interest to-day. Thu wa* tbe sixta
day siuce the case was called on Monday
last. Tbe day ooened with tbe prosecution
still examining witnesses. Hawes’ uei ve
has never fa'.ieo bini, though he betrays as
much interest id the proceedings as most
me.i do. Tbe testimony was ot
Thursday that Ha we* bad gone to Fanny
Bryant’s house Monday evening, and taken
little May away about 7 o’clock, that time
being fixed by the witness’ reco.lection of
tea ing the Sloss furnace’9 7 o’clock woistlo.
Other Glnesses testified ihat Hawes was on
the 6.30 o’clock dummy. C. F. Cooke, tha
engiueer at ihe furnace, who wus th<* fir it
witness to-day, test]bed that the whistle
blew at, s;do o'clock. There was uo 7 o’clocx
whistle. This reconciles toe only material
conflict as yet bet weeu tne state’s wiiiies^es.
THE STORY OF HIS MARRIAGE.
Several witnesses were called to corrob
orate tne previous witness, and tbe *tate
proved tbe marriage of Hawes to Mss
Mary Story, m Cos umbu3, ou 'VolneMay
after tbs finding of May’s body, and also
tnat Hawes had bad a blaik divorce
primed at a job offio? in this oi y last su a
uier, wit:\ the date Fulton c unty, Georgia,
hi which Atlanti is situated.
J. T. C-rJo/er, a c.erk iu tbe law office of
Hewitt, Wi.koi & Porter, testified that
Haw os came into tbe officj >f taut firm last
September when the members of the firm
were absent and said that he wanted to con
sult with thorn noout procuring a divorce.
The defense reserved a number of excep
tions, one being to tne introduction of tne
man iage lie-use.
8. M. Nanby, secretary of the East Lake
Laud Company, testitie l that a person
could readily go around to the opposite aide
of the iak_i Torn tbo pavilion wnere tbe
body was found without being seen from
tne pavilion.
The state here rested.
TRYING TO PROVE AN ALIBI.
After a brief interval or* consultation tho
defease pat M. Weii on tbe stand. Weil is
a clothing merchant, and testified that
Hawes was in bis store with John Wylie
and others for le l or i mi antes on tna
Mouday night, leaving about 6:45 o'clojx.
lie Loug.it an overcoat, valise and
some underwear. The overcoat was u
light gray. Waen 'cross-exa uiued be was
positive toat tais was Monday light. He
kue.v it by a casu entry ou bis b > -ks, and
knew the e itry wa right. Weil’s testi
mouy was corroborated by clerk* in tue
store.
Dick JobuL-on (colored), a hack driver,
saw Hawes between 7:3d and 8;ot) o’clock
Monday night at a lesiauraut in town.
HAWES’ BROTHER ON THE STAND.
Tae sensitiou of the day was .he testi
mony of “Jim” Hawei, a brntner of
“Dick,’’ whic i is regarded as very dam *ging
to ihe defense. He v\as put up by the de
fense because “Dice” in sis cod tnat he bad
seeu bis brot.ier on Monday night at Wed’s
store and Dlci left first, be wee.* 6 and 7
o’clock. Tho wituoss toßitird ti at his
brotner Dick told him uonday that, hn
had just returned from Mobilu, where he
had pmced bis daughter ia a cnave n. and
tha. ms wife was go ie. After “Dick” loft
Weii’s he next saw nira at a saloon ab ut
10:30 o'clock When cro s examined bo
said that “Dick” told him Monday night
that h:s wife nai troue away and that he
had given her 1500. Tho theory of the
defense is tuat Hawes was mistaken
for a man named Tuompson. When ex
amined o i this point Jim" iiu*es said be
knew Th jm. son, who was very much like
his brother, though his mustache was
sh ;rier and he uad deformed eyes.
The court adjourned till Monday morn

sum at iot less than 1600,000,000. A bom
35,000 t arkeepers will be throwu out <*f em

A Judge Don’t Like the Way Things
ar j Going at Duqucsne.
Pittsburg, April 27.—Three of the Du
quesne steel works strikers were brought
into court to-dsy and fined SSOO, SIOO and
$25, respectively, for contempt of court in
r> fusing to obey the injunction issued sev
eiuf lays ago restraining them from inter
fering with workmen and the compa y in
running the works. Judge Ewing severely
cri ici>ed .Sheriff McUandkss for fail
ing t- disperse tbo mob. Ho
it was not necessary for the strikers
to display firearms and weapons to become
n mob, and that their conduct in intimidat
ing new men was of itself riotous a..d
suffleie t to warrant the soeriff i:i dispers
ing tuem. Everything was quiet about the
works to-day.
BEDS FOR NEW lllk
At a late hour to-nig t a number of beds

INVESTIGATION AT APIA.
Tbo Department Satlsfled that Officers
and Men Did Their Bull Duty—Good
Reason Seen For Not Putting to Soe.
Thanko and Condolences Instead of
Ceneure.
Washington, April 27.—Secretary Tracy
to-day addressed a letter to Rear Admiral
Kimberly, commanding the naval forces at
Apia, Samoa, in which be says:
The department Is in receipt of vour cable
dispatch of March 30 from Auckland, and also
of your letter of March 19 from Samoa wltl
accorapauy me reports from Capt. Farquhsr.
Commander Mullane and Lteut Carlin, uarra
ting the circumstances oi tbe ovtrwhelming
disaster which b'is recently disabled your
squadron in Apia harbor. I r.-*d col say lo you
that this event has caused cue department
profouud sorrow, which, as the* appalling ex
tent and character or the cat astro,, ho became
known, was reflected throughout tbe coun
try. Even if the navy were pos
sessed of an adequate number of ships
to supply tbe necessities of the service, the
of three At ooe blow would boa serious diminu
tion of the available cruising force. To a navy
pissing, as is that of the United State*, through
astute of transition, when most of its previously
existing vessels have disappeared and its new
fleet is only on the thres hold of existence, the
blow came with crippling force. Howeve
severely the deal ruction of the vessels may be
felt by the navy the loss of so many valuable
lives is a far ater and more Irreparable mis
fortune. Capt. bchoonmauer died, as be had
lived, at his post of duty, a gall mt and generous
officer and devoted servant of his country to
the las,. Tee hurricane at Samoa has brought
affliction to many American household* w hieb
will receive the deepest sympathy of the gov
ernment, yet it cannot be said t at those wiio
died thus man ully facing danger in the execu
tion of their duty, have died in vain.
DECLINES TO INVESTIGATE.
Tbe letter then reviews the incident* of
the disaster A6 recounted in the report* ot
Admit al Kimberly and his officers andsavs:
In reply to your request and that of Capt
Farquiiar for a court < f inquiry, ti'e depart
ment Ims to say that it deem* such a court un
necessary. It is satisfied that the officers in
command of tho ships at Apia did their
duty with courage, fidelity and soun 1 judgment,
and that they were so closely aud loyally sec
onded bv their subordinates, that the hurricane
which caused the destruction ot' tho v ssels and
the loss of so many lives was om of those
visitations of providence, ir! the presence of
which human efforts are of little avail, that i he
measures actually taken bv yourself a <1 the
officer* under you wen all that wisdom aud
prudence c mid dictate, and t hat it wan due to
these measures that so large a proportion of
too crews were saved; that the one step which
might have averted the catastrophe, namely, to
have put. to sea before the storm had (level
oped, cou and only have been justified in view of
the grave responsibilities resting upon 3'ou at
Baiu a by cercaiuty of over wool niog danger to
your licet, which could u-jt then lx? foreseen;
that you rightly decided to remain at your post,
and that the department,even m the faced t ,e
torribi • disaster which it i evolved,approves abso
lutely your decision, which has set an exampl*
to the navy MiaL snould never be forgotten. To
convene a court of inquiry under these circuni
s mice w ould seem to imply doubt on the part
of the department where no doubt exists, and,
instead of ordering an invcstig.it ion, it tenders
to you, and through you to tbe officers aud men
of your command, its sympathy for the ex
posure&nd hardships you have encountered,
aud its profound thanks for the fidelity with
which you performed your duty iu a crisis of
appalling danger. Very respectfully,
ti. F. Tfucv,
Secretary of the JNuvy.

of the ingrain spinning department and the
first a'nrrn was rung iu at tho polio© station
nt, 3:15 o’clock this morning. Th© lire

owing to t o usual custom, tho p lice were
not admitted to the yard for uoarly half a i
hour. I’iit* first stream was put ou about
3:45 o’clock. Tho fire died down, and me
corporation, supposing that it was extin

BREAK* OUT AGAIN.
In a few moment* the flames broke out
a?,am with double furv aud spread rapidly
through tbe center of t!> building. The
roof fell soon aftor 4 o’c ock. At 5:39
