Last of all, if armed intervention
cannot be avoided, the president Is
attogetheraverse toexposing our army
to yellow fever, for the season is just
at hand. lu any event, if what he re
gards as the worst. must happen it is
almost certain that military operations
by land force* in Cuba will not be un
dertaken on any ex'ended scale until
autumn.
The president does not oulline any
definite plan, even to bis intimate
friends, further than to say that there
will be no war if he can avoid it under
his responsibility to see that the
national honor is at all poinfseunrage
ousty maintained.
The appearance of Senor Quesada at
the vice president’s last night has set
the diplomatic corps on theqni vive.
The foreign ministers lay more stress
on this r%ejdion of the Cuban than on
anything which has transpired. They
say that the acceptandh of Quesada so
cially by the vice president presages
his acceptance officially. They look
upon Quesada’s presence last night as
an act most unusual in the diplomatic
world; that in any other country tban

' THE SEWS IN WASHINGTON.
What Naval Reserves Will, Have to Do in
Case of War.
Washington, March 15.--Every na
val ctticer now on shore has been or
dered to prepare for sea duty. Ofticers
on the retired list have been- ordered
for shore duty in place of the'men or
dered for sea. duty.
I t has been decided that in the event
of hostilities the naval militia will
take care of the'harbor coast defense
in con junction with the naval and
coast defense oftlcurs, the latter being
of the army department will detail the
s&serves to take charge of the impro
vised submarine mines.
In open session of the honse today
Speaker Reed reoogniied Mr. Boutelle,
chairman of the naval committee, to
call.up the bill for the relief of the
victims and survivors of the battle
ship Maine disaster. The bill pro
vides for the payment to the heir* of
those who lost, their lives a turn equal
to twelve months sea pay of deceased
and the reimbursement of survivors
to the value of their personal effect*
lost not to exceed a sum equal to
twelve months sea pay.
No doubt exists in navai circles that
congress will immediately comply
with the president’s request to pass a
personnel naval bill. This means that
eighty-two naval cadets will receive
their commissions immediately and
also those cadets who graduate in June
will be made ensigns.
It is reported that Spain has lodged
a protest with the Brazilian govern
ment against the sale of the cruisers
Amazonas and Abrenail to the United

fairs had under consideration today
the resolution instructing it to make
au investigation of the Maine disaster
and decided by vote of <5 to 5 to post
pone action for tho present.

dnties as chief of the Bureau of Yards
and Docks today. He will he retired

to some other duly until that time.

| PREFER AMERICAN VESSE^.
Find Pay and Fare Bstter Than on
I British Warships.
London, March 15.—The Liverpool
Journal of Commerce is responsible
for the statement that since the Matjjo
disaster at least a dojsPP'WWsh sub
jects have the American
embassy in Loudon, asking for news
of relatives serving ori board the 1 11-
|BHk. The Journal proceeds to
authority for the statement that British
bluejackets are deserting atid have
been received aboanj Ameri
can warships in full uniform, and
unlisted in Uncle Sam’s service. 'There
is do doubt that American bluejackets
are better paid and better fed than
British, but the Journal Insinuates
that the real attraction is the lax
dicipline supposed to prevail on
American warships. Similar ridiou
lous suggestions have keen made from
time to time since the Maine disaster
in newspapers of inferior intelligence
to the usually fair Journal of Com
merce.
French and Germans Clash.
Nancy, March 15.—The German cap
tain ot the Customs guards and one of
his subordinates crossed the frontier
Monday and advanced fifteen yards
beyond the boundary line. A body of
French workmen attempted to arrest
the Germans, and one workman struck
the German officer with a stick. The
officer drew bis sword and ordered bis
subordinate to load bis rifle. The
Germans then withdrew to the boun
dary and confronted the Frenchmen.
The affair is being investigated.
ROYAL COUPLE SEPARATED.
Grand Duke and Duchoas of Heaae Refuse
to Live Together.
London, March 15. —The grand duke
and grand duchess of Hesse have sep
arated. The father of the grand duch
ess, the duke of Saxe-Coburg and
Gotha, will go to Cimiez and try to ef
fect a reconciliation. He will be aided
by Queen Victoria. Emperor William
has already made the attempt and
failed. The grand duchess has de
olarltl that nothing can induce her to
return to her hnshand. Asa result an
arrangement, by which Princess Lou
ise of Battenburg, the eldest sister or
the grand duko, shall secure the suc
cession of the dukodom, has been prac
tically perfected. This is favored by
f%afltar and Queen Victoria and will
|MraK opposed by the kaiser.
H TRIAL.
Puller Charged
lie crime the
committed is
the killing of Captain and Mrs. Nash
and Second ulaLe August Bramherg
on the high seas. The vessel on whicli
the crime was committed will be
placed in evidence at the trial.
The Herbert Fuller, which sailed
Irooi Boston on July 8, 1896, for Ro-
Btio. Argentina, arrived at Halifax,
Pova Hcotia, on July 21, carrying the
bodies of Caplaio and Mrs. Nash and

of having murdlMHlpiese persons on
the evidence of Lester Monks, a Har
vard student, and Charles Brown, a
negro sailor, who were on board. The
motive for the crime has remained a
jyatery.
When the jury returned its verdict
on January 2, 1897, Brain burst into
tears and exclaimed :
“If I have got to die, I thank God
that I shall die an innocent man. 1

Congressman Brantley Is Working to Get One or Those Big Guns
for Brunswick.
THIRTY TON DISAPPEARING GUli j
Nearly every important seaport now has one or morn .to ton disappear™
guns of 10 inch caliber for its defense. Each gun fir;.-- a 575 pound projeotwi
and the recoil sends tho cannon back out of sight i„.:
men, and if I have to bear this much
in addition I shall do it ns an innocent
man should.”
Evidence on which the mate was
convicted rested on what witnesses
testified they had seen and heard in
the cabin of thebarkentine. A motion
for anew trial on alleged new evi
dence found in experiments made on
the vessel regarding tbe view of the
cabin by a man at the wheel was de
nied. An appeal was taken to tbe
United States supreme court, which
ordered anew trial.
Prison for Life.
New York, March 15, Wm. J. Koer

today to imprisonment for life for the
murder of Rose Redgate, bis sweet

PRICE, FIVE CENTS.
COUNTY POLITICS
BEGINS TO SUMER.
Substitution of Harvey for
Lehman Starts the
Ball.
LEHMAN MAY QUIT POLITICS.
Candidate for the Legislature-Some
Big Surprises are in
Store.
The exclusive announcement in Tu*
Tis-ks yesterday morning that John
Lehman had quit the race for oounty
clerk in favor of H > H. Harvey, now
city treasurer and county commission
er, was a “stem- winding surprise, ujmiSß
the boys say. Although
rnenl was made on last s alJ®ff|f§i

tration jptSulidate for Cibe present
But a change come over
the spirit of the dream, and wtjen the
tbists of secrecy oieared, Treasurer
Harvey stood in the reservation eup
posed to be sacred to Lehman.
Judge Lehman yesterday confirmed
the truth of Thk Timbs’ statement of
the situation. “I am not In*politios for
my health,” he said; “consequently,
when I have an opportunity to go Into
something more profitable I am very
certain to take advantage of if. At
present I have something in view
which is better than the clerkship,
and I decided that this stage of the
campaign was the proper stage for me
to leave it.”
It is said that Judge Lehman will
accept a traveling position with a
large concern.
Mr. Harvey is, therefore, squarely
in the race and has begun an active
campaign for the office. The ohange
of candidates has not affected Harry
dti Bignon’s intentions, and he is still
vigorously leading the anti-adminfi
tralion forces.
Good Government club lenders yes
terday expressed the belief that tbe
change of candidates wouid not alter
tbe certainty of their suocess. “We
have the fight whipped,” said one,
"and the strongest man of the ring
couldn’t defeat our candidate.”
The seat in the state leglalatura
from which Joe Bennet will step to
tbe judgship this tall is also the oanie
of much wire pulling just now. The
indications are that Edwin Brobaton
or Ernest Dart will be the administra
tion candidate, while N, Emanuel or
F. E. Twltty will represent tbe oppo
sition. “I’d like to see Judge Hymtne*
dome out for the legislature,” said s
leading politician yesterday. “He’d
make a good one.”
The county political pot has csr
tainly begun to boil, and one of tba
hardest fights in Glynn’s history is
expected between now and election
day.
