GIBRALTAR, Oct. 266.-—The battle
ships Victorious, Illustrious and Ma
jestic (flagships of Vice Admiral Ber-
esford) and the cruisers Lancaster,
Thesus and Endymion are under or
ders to sail on the morning of Octo
ber 28. tl is reported that the purpose
Is to shadow the Russian Baltic squad
ron which i» expected to go by way of
the Cape of Good Hope.
The Russian Baltic squadrons
cruisers and torpedo boats are expect
cd to pass through the straltB of Gi
braltar on the way to Suer. The
whole of the Gibraltar torpedo flotilla
has been commissioned.
The ships of the channel fleet have
filled their bunkers with coal and re
plenished their ammunition and other
stores and will be ready fqr pea at a
moments notice. The battleships Han
nibal and the cruiser Doris are watch
ing the straits closely.
There is great activity at the dock
yard where men are working night
and day. The admiralty is making in
quiries concerning the coal available
here.
liblllty. of course, remains that the
information of the Associated Press
yesterday afternoon may be correct and
that the report is alreadv *n the hands
of* the einperor, but if so, delay In
emitting it to the admiralty is in
explicable, assurances having been ex
tended to the British embassy that
there should not Lc the ntlghtest ‘de
lay In communicating the report when
It was received.
One danger of complication discussed
here lies In the possibility that Great
Britain may deenv. it necessary to dec-
patch warships to warn and protect
British trawelrs ofT the Spanish coast.
On the other hand if the nature of
Rojestvensky’s report renders the re
call of the Baltic squadron Imperative.
It will weight greatly In Japan's favor
and have a serious bearing on the fu
ture course of the war in the Far
East.

KILLING AT WINDER.
C. D. Burnett Slays Young Daniel,
Both Prominent Citizens.
ATHENS, Ga., Oct. 26.—Last night
at Winder, Ga., C. D. Burnett, a well-
known citizen of that place, shot and
instantly killed Young Daniel, a prom
inent farmer of Oconee county. They
were on the front porch of the res
idence of T. N. Lester at the time, and
had been quarreling about the lines
between two pieces of land in Oconee
county. Details of the tragedy are
hard to get. It is reported that both
men had pistols and that BUrnett gdt
to his pistol first. On the other hand
it is claimed that Daniel was unarmed
and that he made no motion to attack
Burnett The tragedy is greatly de
plored, as both parties were well-
known and highly respected.
“Entirely inadequate.”
LONDON, Oct. 26.— Ambassador
Hardinge has sent another note to
Foreign Minister Lamsdorff expressing
his opinion that the measures reported
to have been taken by the Russian ad
miralty to communicate with Admlr.il
Rojestvensky were entirely Inadequate
At the foreign office the fullest con
fidence Is expressed in amicable set
tlement of the incident.
Rojestvensky Talks.
VIGO, Spain, Oct. 26.—The Associat
ed Press has succeeded In obtaining
an interview with Admiral Rojestven-
sky, who expressed great regret ove:
the North Sea Incident The admiral
stated that the unfortunate occurrence
was purely' accidental. The weather
on the night In question was rather
hazy. About 1 a. m. two torpedo boats;
which the Russians supposed were
Japanese craft, suddenly appeared be
tween the two divisions of the squad
ron and seemed to discharge torpedoes.
The Russians immedately opened fire.
They saw no fishermen and were not
nwnre that any damage had been done.
Evidently, the admiral said, the fish
ermen had shown no lights. The ad
miral repeated that he greatly regret
ted that any injury had been done fish
ermen, and added that he had no doubt
the Russian government would make
compensation.

ALTMAN TRIAL
HAS COMMENCED
MUKDEN, Oct. 26.—The situation
Is one of great tension for the troops
on both aides. General Kuroputkln
and Field Marshal Oyama seem to be
watching each other like hawks,
is impossible to tell which will make
the first serious move. There aro oc
caslonal exchanges of desultory firing
at the outposts but nothing of great
Importance * has transpired. On Sun
day night the Japanese made a feeble
attempt upon Lone Tree Hill but the
attack was not pressed. The Rtis
aians used several siege guns of great
range on Monday, bombarding the
Japanese positions near Shakhe. The
Japanese replied with Shlmose shells.
The Chinese say the Russian fire de
stroyed three Japanese field pieces.
The Japanese have evacuated Shnk-
the railroad station, but it and the
railroad bridge between the lines are
In the field of fire on both sides.
Although It Is reported that there
Is no activity on the Russian left flank
little Is really known concerning the
situation there. A Japanese move
ment from the west along tne
railroad In reported but this
has not been confirmed. The general
state of uncertainty breeds many ru
mors. On Monday quite a heavy ar
tillery fire was heard westward.

Newspapors Impatient.
LONDON, Oct. 27.—At 3 o’clock this
morning there Is no sign as to when
Admiral Rojestvensky’* report will bo
made public; but if unofficial reports
should turn out to reflect the admiral’s
official report it is evident the Rus
sian officers made an extraordinary
blunder In mistaking trawlers for tor
pedo boats and firing on their phantom
foes. This astonishing explanation Is
regarded here ns not fitting ill with
the stato of panic suggested as having
prevailed among the officers of the
Baltic fleet; and In that case. It Is
suggested, the Russian government
should find no difficulty in removing
and punishing the off'cers responsible.
The newspapers this morning evince
more heat and impatience than here
tofore at Russia’s delay, which is con
sidered absolutely indefensible in the
present circumstances.
Baltic Fleet’s Passage.
LONDON. Oct 26.—The Associated
Press learns that while there is
foundation for the rumor which
cently emanated from Constantinople
that the Russian government is ap
proaching the sultan wdth the view of
obtaining his censent to the passing
of the Black sea fleet through the Dar
danelles, Russia '« actually taking
steps to sound the other continental
governments ns to whether any ob
jectfons will be raised by them In the
event of a formal request being pre
vented by Russia to the powers jointly
/or the removal of the International
restrictions governing the passage of
the Dardanelles. It Is obvious that
whatever be the replies of other gov
ernments to the Russian inquiries it
would not be possible at the present
juncture of afTalrs in the Far East for
Great Britain to acquiesce In such an
arrangement.
Japs Attack Expected.
MUKDEN. Oct. 26.—The appoint
ment of General Kuropatkln ns com-
mander-tn-chief was received with
universal approval. It will greatly fa
cilitate military operations.
A Japanese attack is now expected.

ST. PETERSBURG,*Oct 27. (2:20 a.
tn )—An official of the admiralty srgt
ed to the Associated Press at 1*3<
o’clock this morning that no word ha<
yet been received fro mVice Admiral
Rojetvensky. The official continued:
“The delay In getting th* Russian
version of the North Sea affair Is prov
ing exceedingly embarrassing to tnls
government. It is felt that in the In
flamed state of British public opinion,
the Inexplicable absence of any official
report Is becoming an already dedicate
situation.”
While the good faith of the Russian
government In Us efforts to probe the
affair Is not questioned. It is evident
from renewed British Inquiries at the
foreign office and admiraHy on Wed
nesday that while no time limit for
a response to the British nor* hi* bee
fixed. King Edward’s government I
neither in a humor nor a poeUftHt t

report may bo received today. Th
WAYCROSS, Ga., Oct. 26.—The trial
of Hillary and Charley Altman and
Ivey Harvey, charged with the mur
der of Jackson Duncan nnd the negro
Jim Reilly, commenced in Charlton
superior court at Folkston this after
noon. The two Altmans are to be tried
together for the murder of Duncan.
The afternoon was taken up in the
hearing of demurrers and the actual
testimony will not commence and the
Jury will not be drawn until tomorrow.
Judge Parker at 4 o’clock granted a
continuance until tomorrow morning
because of the absence of certain wit
nesses for the defense. There Is a
strong array of legal talent on both
sides of the case. Solicitor Bennett,
for the state, is assisted by Messrs.
Toomer nnd Reynolds of Waycross,
Clarke, Parker and Hemlngs and L.
E. Wade of Jacksonville. The attor
neys for the defense are Bryan fi
Bryan and Walker & Shayler of Jack
sonville and J. 8. Williams and A. E.
Cochran of Waycross.
Beyond the unusually large crowd
and occasional signs ol too much whis
ky. there wan little Indication of the
expected trouble at Folkston. Friends
of both the Altmans and Duncans are
there In largo numbers. There
distinct lino between the two factions
and at no time today was there the
least sign of the expected row. The
greatest apprehension felt by the Dun
can faction was the belief that some
attempt might be made to drive off
the negro witnesses for the state.
These witnesses did not remain in
Folkston last night but were brought
to the Waycross jail. They were car
ried to Folkston this morning and
were shut up in a small outhouse In
Sheriff Mattox’s yard. Three depu
ties guarded the negro during the day.
Sheriff Mattox last night received
every assurance from the Altman fac
tion that there would be no trouble.
None is looked for, at least not until
after the trial Is completed. Many are
of the opinion, however, that there is
sure to be a row should the Jury re
turn a verdict of murder.
The grand Jury this morning
brought in an Indictment against the
Altmans and Harvey of murder in the
first degree.
The witnesses for the state were
brought back to Waycross tonight to
prevent any possible outbreak. Some
of the Duncans are also spending the
night In Wlaycross. Should the Alt
mans and Harvey be cleared of the
murder In Charlton there are charges
against them in Baker county, Flor
ida, for the killing of Deputy Sheriff
Thrift and the shooting of W. M. and
John Duncan at Baxter. It is claimed
that they also serious’y wounded Mar
aha! Duncan and threw him from the
train at the time of the killing of
Jackson Duncan and the negro.
About twenty of their friends
relatives are also Implicated In th
Baker county trouble. These men are
awaiting trial in the Florida courts
and are under bonds of $1,000 to $1,700
Working on Entrenchments.
YENTAI COAL MINES, Tuesday,

exercises of the day. Not only were
the chief executives of many cities

Calm Before 8torm.
8T. PETERSBURG, Oct. 26, 12:50
p. m.—The quiet now prevailing at the
theatre of war Is considered to be only
the calm before a storm. There
every indication of the imminence of
fighting on a large scale, as the prox
imity of the two armies make it Im
possible for them to much longer defer
a renewal of the battle. The corre
spondents at the front are strangely
silent concerning the coming develop
ments, but from the slight movements
reported and the continual reconnol-
tering of the Japanese posistions it is
regarded as certain that Gen. Kuro-
patkin has a perfectly free hand ac
corded him by his elevation to the
post of command<*r-in-chlef and that
he Is about to undertake an offensive
movement. Field Marshal Oyama
reported to be fortifying his whole
lines south of the Shakhe river, show
ing that he is preparing to meet the
Russian onset Not a ray of light as

Marshal Dinwiddle, the first witness
called today In the trial of ex-Mayor
J. Samuel McCue, testified that ho and
his wife reached the McCue home about
11:30 o’clock on the night of
tragedy. He is nn uncle of tho defen
dant by marriage.
He had seen Mr. and Mrs. McCue
at church earlier in the evening and

at about 0 o’clock.
When he reached the house after the

his room; that his wlfo was on tho
side of a dresser; that somo one came
Into the room; that ho first tried to get
his gun but got it only partly out
when the man took it away from him.
Continuing witness said McCue said
he had ”beon knocked senseless” nnd
his wife shot.
McCuo Seemed Rational.
The defendant seemed rational, •
ness said. He asked the accused be
fore the body had been fully dressed
If he desired to view the remains, the
accused replying that he' preferred tb

but nfter the remains were placed In
a coffin the defendant on the nft
noon of the following day raw the re
mains, that being the first time t
the knowledge of tho witness. I
heard no statement about robbery.
On cross-examination wltnesa Ha
he saw no signs of strained relntloi
between Mr. and Mrs. McCue will

that the necused seemed distressed n
ter tho tragedy.

Dr. J. K. Early reached the McCue
residence after the shooting. I
ho found the defendant lying on the

not sufficient to produce Insensibility,
He saw no other marks on the do

ho -aid was cut nearly In two, could
have been produced by tho baseball
bat which wns exhibited.
The witness did not neo the defen
