Ity Busy. • •
Meanwhile the admiralty la not Idle.
Reports from all naval stations show
that a tremendous state of activity
exists. This is especially true of Gi
braltar. from which place it is an
nounced that some of the best of
reat Britain's war vessel* are under
orders to proceed in the direction of
the Russian Baltic squadron, and that
all the ship* of the British channel
fleet are ready to go to sea at a mo
ment'* notice. Hitherto there ha* been
no indication that a time limit had
been set Great Britain for Russia'*
reply to her demands, but the fact that
three battleships and three cruisers are
under orders for the morning of Oc-
tobe 28 Is construed in some quarters
to mean that Great Britain will not
wait longer than that date before
leasing her sea degu, while It Is also
evident that the Russian cruisers and
smaller boats of the Baltic squad
ron may find difficulty in passing the
gateway to the East unless the crisis
is completely over by the time they
reach the entrance to the Mediterra
nean.
Information ha* reached the Associa
ted Press from an authoritative source
that puts a brighter light upon the sit
uation. It Is understood that practi
cally everything has been decided upon
to the satisfaction of oCunt Lamsdorff,
the Russian foreign minister, except
the question of the punishment of the
offending officers of the Baltic squad
ron. It is further understood that
Great Britain is not demanding final
and formal written undertakings before
announcing that she is satisfied, but
that an undertaking In general terms
on the part of Russia will be accepted
as sufficient guarantee for an official
announcement that the crisis has pass
ed.
RUSSIAN BATTLESHIPS
IN TROUBLE WITH SPAIN
VIGO, Spnln, Oct. 26.—The arrival of
tho Russian battleships Emperor Alex
ander III., Borodino, Orel and Knlaz-
zauroff and the tran*port Anatol,
which have entered this port, luU
caused considerable excitement.
The commander of the port Immedi
ately boarded the Russian flagship and
Informed Admiral Rojoatvensky that
the Spanish government could not per
mit tho warships to coal within the
port. Admiral Rojestvensky replied he
had separated from the remainder of
his squadron. The commander of the
port promised to Inform the Spanish
government of the admiral's statement
and communicate the government's re
ply as soon as It was received. In spite
of this, five German colliers anchored
port alongside the battleships,
whereupon the commander of the port
sent an aide de camp to beg Admiral
Rojestvensky not to violate Spanish
neutrality, and he alio ordered the
commanding officer of the Spanish
cruiser Kstrnmedra to notify the col
liers that they must obey the port au
thorities. Eventually Admlrnl Rojos-
venaky promised thot he would not coal
In Spanish waters, at the same time
begging the commander of the port to
obtain the government's permission for
each warship to take on four hundred
tons of cool with which to reach Tan
gier. Shortly afterward* the colliers
sailed for Tangier, but two remained
alongside the Russian warships.
During the afternoon Admiral Ro-
Jestvensky. accompanied by the com
manders of his battleships, visited the
military governor, the French consul,
and the commander of the port, re
ceiving the usual honors.
As far ns can be seen the crews of
the battleships ore very uneasy. Bcn-
tlnels are closely watching every move
ment within tho harbor. All four of
the warships seem to be cleared for
action.
It Is rumored that the object of the
Hpanlsh government in requesting the
Russians to remain the shortest pos
sible time at Vigo »•» to prevent the
possibility of attack by Japanese
agents, whose presence In the province
of Galicia Is suspected.
It Is learned that three other Rus
sian warships have anchored In Arosa
bay. The government has refused
them permission to coal in Spanish
Waters.
The Spanish warships Marques de la
Victoria and Vasco Nunez de Balboa
are keeping wn^*h along the coast.
The authorities have ordered that nil
Ashing boats shall fly the national flag
In order to avoid a repetition of the
Dogger Bank Incident.
Until Rojestvenskys's report was re
ceived Russia has exhibited reluctance
to give such a pledge, believing that
an ample apology, in view of the lack
of all official Information on their own
side would be suffclent.
One of the ambassadors who visited
Lansdowne today said that not one of
fils colleagues believed that a hostile
Issue was possible. The only conceiv
able danger whs the Increasing bit
terness of British public opinion, whtoh
is being fanned Into feverishness far
more by the announcement of the pro
cautionary naval preparations than by
the news of the outrage itself.
MADRID. Oct. 26.—The minister of
marine confirms the report of the ar
rival of a Russian cruiser at Villa
garcla. The minister has received
telegram from the authorities at Vigo
to the effect that two of the Russian
battleships now there have sustained
damages which will render It lmpos
slble for them to leave port within the
prescribed twenty-four hours. The min
Ister declares that he*wtll not author
ise the coaling of Russian warships In
Spanish ports.

planation of the attack by the Baltic
squadron upon the British trawlers off

'The transport Aratol, which was

suddenly surrounded by eight torpedo
floats and requested nuitatance, where
upon the battleship division advanced
and slgmilled to the unknown vessels

The vessels refused to obey and ad
vanced among the Rut*slnn battleships.
Suddenly a cannon shot was heard
from an unknown vessel. Then the
admiral formed In battle line and re

Prince Kerrctellt added that the

LONDON. Oct. 26, J:18 p. m.—The
Russian reply to Great Britain's note
on the subject of the North 8ea trag
edy has been received by the British
government. It expresses deep regret
at the occurrence und promise* full
reparation as soon as an official report

vensy.
The reply wag received by Ambas

was forwarded to Foreign Secretary
Lansdowne In the shape of a formal
letter. In which the ambassador, wait

Petersburg, gave the above assurances,
adding that while the Russian gov
ernment at th time of cabling was
still without official knowledge from
Its own sources of the occurrence In the
North sea It feel* so certlan It was an
error that It wishes at once to express
Its regret and assures the British gov

Lansdowne Hopeful.
Lord Lansdowne said late this af
ternoon. however, that he trusted the
matter would be settled within twenty-
four hours.
In Interviews at the foreign office
with the foreign ambassadors, this be
ing the regular reception day. Lord
Lansdowne though In no degree pessi
mistic regarding the eventual outcome
gave his callers clearly to understand
that he did not regard Ambassador
Benkendorff's letter as altogether satis
factory and that it was distinctly in-
W. A. Blery, the undertaker, testified
that he had washed his hands after
handling the body and before handling
the undershirt In evidence, that he did
not see Mr. McCue until after he had
piuced the body In the casket, and
that he observed Anger marks on Mrs.
McCue's throat.
Policeman D. C. Orady answered n
telephone summons on the night of
September 4 to hurry to the home of
Ex-Mayor McCue', the person calling
speaking of the robbery. He ran to the
house, where he met Ex-Mayor Me
Cue. who told him that some one hud
nearly killed him and probably l.ad
killed his wife. The nccused. he add
ed. was holding one hand on his head
and one on his breast and complained
more of the pain In his chest.
McCue's Exclamation.
Witness made a search of the house.
He met Dr. McCue In the upper half.
Going to the bath room he said the
accused was behind him and he heard
Dr. McCue tell hi* bro'hcr that his
wife was dead, whereupon Mr. McCue
exclaimed: "Oh, My Muker; who could
have anything against me to do like
this and kill my wife?"
Mrs. McCue* body, the witness said,
had been laid out on the floor of the
bath room when he first saw It. The
policeman testified that he went down
stairs from the bath room, llndlng the
doors leading out of doors open.
He also said that a window leading
out on a root from the room Immedi
ately back of that occupied by tha ac
cused was open, that a tree was close
enough by which to go down, that a
window was open In front, leading ou:
on another h>of and near w{tich was
another tree. A parlor window down
stairs was open. The witness said
Mr. McCue told him that he wn* un
dressing in hi* room when ho heard a
rattling at the door, that he looks 1
around and saw a man whom he de
scribed as one wearing greasy und
dirty clothes, as If he hud been work
ing a railroad or tramping, and th.it
he tried to get out his gun hut the
stranger got it away from him and
knocked him sense’MB. He said Mc
Cue was rational but ' very much out
of flx." Witness thought It was the
accused who telephoned the police sta
tion. but would n->t be certain.
The Piece of Cloth.
W. O. Durrette, a cousin of the de
fendant. testified that he and Willie
McCue found a piece of cloth In the
bath room on the day following the
shooting. Witness Identified a bit of
cloth which was exntblted. He said
It was on the floor Letween tho bath
tub and door and In plain view. Two
local clothiers. Mr. Kauffman and Mr.
Eddlns, were called to the stand, the
former testifying that the torn piece
was similar to the material In the un
dershirt. the gauze and thread seeming
to be alike, but he could not say that
the piece came from the shirt in evi
dence, the one worn by Mr. McCue
tbe night of September 4. Mr. Eddlns
thought the piece fitted, saying It ap
peared that a thread clinging to the
torn piece had formed a part of the
broken lockstitch abeent from the gar
ment. The defense objected to this
line of testimony but were overruled.
Warren Covington, a local merchant,
met Mrs. McCue as he was going to
church on the evening of the tragedy.
He spoke, but Mrs. McCue did not
look to the right or left, he said. II.
met Mr. McCue about two square!
away, going in the same direction a
