Military officers contend that they are not com- manded to wear mourning for a general, and are unable to see why they should do so in this case, since Canovas was neither a King nor a royal Prince.

HAVANA, CuBa, Aug. 13.—Among the many interesting de!ails of the assassina- tion of Canovas cabled to Havana from Madrid by the correspondent of La Lucha is the startling fact that Assassin Golli ked Canovas on the evening of July st at San Sebastian, and he was neither arrested nor watched afterward by the police, becanse the Premier gave or- | ders not 1o molest the anarchist. Cano- | vas was passing through one of the alleys of the park in front of the Casino at S8an Sabastian at 7 o’clock in the evening when a well-dressed man, apparentiy a foreigner, approached him in such a suspicious man- ner that Canovas stopped and raised his cane in self-defense. The man seized Cancvas by the leftarm and was evidenily going to draw a weapon when the Premier loudly commanded him to stop. Persons ran from all sides to the Premier’said, and the stranger, apologizing and bowing, Canovas he was in~ great distress and nted only to ask for a little money.

He said also the mau was a Frenchman, as was proved by his accent, and that he probably was a bankrupt gambler.

Not the least doubt is expressed now by the police that Goili is the man who stopped Canovas on July 27, and was mis. taken by him for a Frenchman.

Vital Leasons for the Annexation of the Istands. WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 13.—"From a military as well as a commerciai point of view,” said Director Smith of the Bu-| reau of American Republics, *“the Ha- waiian Istands, owing to their location, are of great importance. “Hawaii may be said to lie about one- third the aistance of the accustomed route | from San Francisco to Japan and Chinese | ports, from San Francisco to Australia, from poris of British Columbia to Aus tralia and British India, and about half way from the Isthmus of Panama to Yoko- hama and Hongkong. The construction of a ship canal across the isthmus wouud | extend this geographical relation to the | ports of the Gull of Mexico apd of the | Atlantic seaboard of North and South America. A glance at the map will at| once make clear the fact that no other point in the North Pacific has such a dominating relation to the trade between America and Asia as a coaling-place and depot of supplies for vessels. “From a naval standpoint Hawaii is the great strategic base of the Pacific. Under created by the use of steam asa motive power, Hawaii would secure to the maritime nation possessing it an ad-| vantage as a depot for the supply of coal. Modern battle-ships, devending ! absolutely upon coal, would be enablzd to avail themselves of their full capacity of speed and energy only by having some | half-way station in the Pacific where they | could replenish their stores of fuel and refit.

Charges Against the Noval Constructor Ave Declared Frivilows. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 13.—Act- ing Secretary Roosevelt has made public the report of Commander.Davis upon the results of his investization into the con- duct of the New York Navy Yard in its construction department by Constructor | Bowles. The commander’s report com- pletely vindicaies Mr. Bowles' manage- sccepted in full the conclusion reached. In his indorsement upon the report, | which is of general interest in many ints, because of the policy laid dowa, Roosevelt says: he department fully sustains the con- clusion of Commander Davis as to the charges against Mr. Bowles. In so far as they re.ate to alleged politic.l.discrimina- | tion, or the appointment of outsiders and tue retention of unworthy in pteference to worthy men, these charges are not only disproved, but are shown to rest upon nothing more substantial than malicious or frivolous gossip, or else upon the belief of the less competent workmen that they, and not their superior officers, are the proper judges of their efficiency. The at- tention of Constructor Bowles will be es- vecially calicd to that part of Commander Duvis' report warning him as to being sometimes overharsh and following too implicitly the recommendations of lead- ing men in making appointments.” XD Grosvenor dssaile Civil dervice Raform. WASHINGTON, . C., Aug. 13.—It has just been discovered that Congressman C. H. Grosvenor of Ohio has forty pages of the Congressional Record in his leave to print with radical civil service ideas of his own. He attacks every phase of ihe re- forin muvement.

General Albertone’s Turn Comes Next and He Is Yet Anxious to Battle. LONDON, ExG., Aug. 13—A dispatch from Paris confirms the statement that Count Turin has challenged Prince Henri of Orleans to fighta duel. Particulars of the challenge are conflicting in some re- spects, but the following details seem to be well authenticated : King Humbert, as the head of the Italian army, has assumed “his officers’ quarrel with Prince Henri, and author- ized Count Turin, his nephew, to fight the Prinece. The challenge was sent by tele- graph and its acceptance received by the same means. The seconds of Count Turin are Marquis di Ginori and General di Quinto. They arrived in Paris this morning and held a _conference with Colonei Leontiniff and M. Raoul Mouri- chon, the Prince’s seconds, at which severe conditions for the meeting were arranged. Nobody will be present when the duel is fought except the principals, seconds and physicans. The place of meeting will be on the estate of tne Duc de Chartres at St. Firmin. 1t was stat-d that Count Turin had ar- rived in Paris this evening, but this was not confirmed. The duel will not likely be fought before Monday, despite some assertions that it will take place to-mor- row. The challenge of Count Turin was granted precedence over that of General Albertone. The latter has not abandoned his intention to meet the Prince on the field of honor to wipe out the alieged in- sult offered to [talians captured by King Menelik in Abyssinia during the late dis- astrous Italian campaizn. The challenge sent by Lieutenant Piani of the Italian army, who was selected by his companions to meet the Prince, will probably beaban- doned. Itis stated that Count Turin is acting out of kindness to the Duchess of Aosta (Princess Helene of Orleans), whose vosition in Italy might be made odious by Prince Henri's attacks upon the Italian army. WLS GAME T0 THE LAST. Execution of a Wife Murderer Who Was Anxious to Show his Strength at the Gallows. BALTIMORE, Mbp, Aug. 13.—Peter Monahan was hanged this morning for wife murder. He was game to the last. Just before marching to the gallows he offered to prove that he was stronger than any man in the crowd. He proposed to one of the jail board that they have a wrestling match on the ground of the gul- He adaed facetiously that if this request was not granted he would wrestle him on the green fields beyond. When he had taken his place on the gallows and the rope was placed about his neck he was asked whetner it was tight. *No, it's all right, let ’er go,” he said. Monahan’s neck was broken by the fall, He killed his wife with an ax because she would not give him money to buy liquor. s BELIEVES ANDREE SAFE. What Captain Windrow of This City Says in an Inerview. CHICAGO, IrL, Aug. 13.—Captain John Windrow of San Francisco does not be- | lieve the story that Professor Andree’s balloon was seen floating in the ocean by aship’s captain. The captain is visiting his brother, Dr. 8. Windrow of 233 Lasalle avenue. He has returned from Sweden, where he visited his relatives, among whom is the family of Professor Andree’s brother. The captain said: “I was in Stockholm when the news arrivea that Andree nad left Spitzbergen in his bal- loon. His family, that is, his brother’s— Andree is not married—fully believe that he will be heard from. Andree himself told them that if no news was received from him in two months, probably noth- ing would be heard from him for a year, as he would then have landed in such lo- cality that it would be months before he and his party would reach a locality where they conld communicate witn the ourside world. “My own belief is that Andree has struck a southwest wind, as these are the winds that usually prevail at this time of the year in the northern latitudes, and that be has been carried into Siberia, and it may be months before he will be heard from. “As to the story of a vessel having passed a balloon floating in the sea, that is 8 good yarn for landsmen. There is not a captain so inhuman, so absolutely without sense, that he would not at once send a boat to investigale the thing, and anybow the basket and provisions that Andree carried with him weighed six tons, and would sink the balloon when im- mersed in water. Never fear, Andree will be heard from: depend upon it.” sl SAYS IT IS A COMSPIRACE, Stevenson Charges Prominent Bostonians With Plotting to Eob Him, BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 13.—James Ste- venson, the reputed Brookline miilionaire real estate operator, whose daughter Grace’s strange disappearance was the ex- citenuent of the day some weeks ago, yes- terdny brought smit for big damages against a lot of people who he said had conspired to rob him. L. K. Wilson and 8. 8. Kimball to-day as a countersiroke had Stevenson tefore the insolvency court. They already haa a judgment against him for $619, which He lost his point, but the case will go to the full bench. As he left the courtroom Stevensor produced a roli of $40,000 in greenbacks and $20,000 more in checks. “I think they’ll have their hands full trying to prove me a bankrupt,” he ob- served. ‘‘Certain people are trying to bankrupt me, because they want to get hold ol some property [ own and I will not sell 1t to them. They think if they can get me 1nto insolvency they can buy the property under the hammer. I always paid 100 cents on the dotlar, and I can do so now. If there isaryvody I owe I want that person to come forward and get the money. Ican m-et all obligations with- out notice. “It is an unjust law,”’ he continued, “that permits a man to petition another man into insolvency if he owes $100, even tnough he may be worth midions. I shall fight this matter to the end, and 1 feel confident that I shall win,” BATTLED IN A LIGHTHOUSE Fearful Struggle of the Keeper Witha Crazy Assistant. Finally Escapes, but Is Pur- sued by the Assailant and Shot At. It May Be Necessary to Send a Rev- enue Cutter to Capture the Madman. NARRAGANSETT PIER, R. L, Aug. 13.—Whate Rock lighthouse, three miles northeast of here, is in charge of a drunken maniac, Assistant Keeper Hen. ri Nygriffe. This evening, after drink- ing heavily all day, he worked himself into a murdcrous frenzy, attacked Cap- tain J. S. Allen, the lighthouse-keeper, with a carving-knife, drove him from the isiana, pursued him to the mainland in a boat, and only returned when his intended victim succeeded in getting a horse and 50 making his escape. Nygriffe, inflamed with liquor, sur- prsed Allen in the tower of the light- house and attacked him with a carving- knife. They fought in the tower for near- ly balf an hour with life or death as a re- sult, and no human being within three miles to help ur hinder. Finally the knife fell from the crazed man’s hands after he had aimed a biow at the captain and slit his coat collar by aswift downward stroke. The strug:le wenton, each man endeav- oring to prevent the other from getting the knife. Finally Alien’s hold relaxed, and he oretended to give in. His drunken op- ponent reached for it, hissing: *“Ah, now I'll finish you!” But Allen had played a new trick, and just as Nygriffe put out his hand to grasp it Allen’s foot shot out and he kicked the knife down the lighthouse stairs. Nygriffe stumbled down after it. Allen’s only escape was by a window. A rope hung inside. To throw it out, climb out of the wincow and swing himself out- side took but a second. Half way to the ground he heard Nygritfe’s roars of rage, and then saw his form in the window and | felt him hacking at the rope. Loosening his hold he slid down so swiftly that his hands were torn badly, but he was safely on the gronnd. He ran to the rowboat, Into one he jumped and headed for shore, | two miles awuy. Nvgriffe hurried down stairs and jumped intoa second boat in pursuit, after securing a rifle. He leveled it and fired, but missed. A second bullet followed and it ricochetted past Allen on the water. Allen is an expert oarsman, but his torn hands made every stroke painful and the handkerchief with which he bourd the raw places to stanch the blood impeded his stroke. Haif way over Ny- griffe spurted, but the captain landed a good 200 yards in front. As hejumped out Nygriffe fired two more shots. Allen started to run two miles to Narragansett Pier, but ran exhausted into a farmhon “Lend me a horse,”” he cried to the farmer. “I'm Captain Allen of the light- house. My assistant has gone crazy and has tried to kill me, look.” He held up his torn hands. Another man came out of the house and recognized the captain. ‘Take the horse,” he saidj *he will get you out of harm’s way.” They helped him upon the animal’s back and he galloped away, bareback and clinging for his Jife. As he turned ou: from the gate Nygriffe, still carrying his pun, came running down the road, firing at him and ran on again. The two farm- ers saw the pursuer and pursued disap- pear around the turn. Allen reached this place terribly exhausted. His ciothing was torn half off and he was bruised and bleeding. On hearing his story the po- lice set out after Nygriffe, but he had given up the chase and returned, for at 10 o’clock to-night the red light appeared in the lighthouse. Probably a revenue cut- ter will be sent to arrest Nyzriffe. MARQYIS 170 4RRIVES. His Presence Terrifies a Group of Distinguished Celestials at the Waldorf. NEW YORK, N.

The Sheriff Reads an Injunc- tion and the Strikers Are Halted. Whitecap Notlces for the Men at Work—3leepless Nights for the Officers. PITTSBURG. PA,, Aug. 13.—The first blood shed during the present miners’ strike was that of Jacob Mott, a drummer in the McDonoid band. The trouble oc- curred about 5 o’clock this morning near the Pium Creek tipple. One thousand strikers left camp at Plum Creek at 3 A. M., and divided into two squads at Center, one body of the marchers going to Center schoolhouse and the other to strikers’ houses. The Center squad was headed by the McDonald drum corps. Sheriff ‘Lowrey reached Center about 5 A. M. and met a number of deputies. The marchers were stopped and the Sueriff read the injunc- tion order. He then ordered the strikers to return to their camp. The men paid no attention to the order for & time, and the drum corps attempted to lead the marchers past the Sheriff and his deputies. The deputies closed up and moved forward, headed by the Sheriff, and the opposing forces came together. No blows were struck and no weapons drawn, but there was a lively scuffle, dur- ing which a horn in the hands of one of the band was pushed into Joseph Mott's face, and he was badly cut over the right eye. Blood flowed in a stream from the wound, and the sight of blood checked the pushing and struggling men. The Sheriff again read the order of the court, and ordered the crowd to disperse and appear in court on Saturday to make an answer to the bill filed. The men again refused, and one was particularly pronounced in his opposi- tion. He was threatened with arrest, and after considerable argument, during whoich he asserted his right to be on the public road, Urich Bellingham and the banl again tried to force their way past the Sheriff and bis deputies. Sheriff Lowrey threatened the strikers with arrest if they did not instantly obes. He told them they were defendants in a suit brou ht by the New York and Cleve- land Gas-coal Company, and that the in- junction would held good until Monday, when they would have a hearing before Judges Stowe and Coliier. He added: *Icommand you, as High Sheriff of Allegheny County, to cease this marching. You must not molest men who want to work. They have as much right to the roads as you, and if you do not desist, in obedience to this injunction, I will arrest you." Deputy Sheriffs formed a line across the road and forced thestrikers to move along. Seeing no way to defend themselves, the strikers moved in the direction of their camp. By this time news of the Sheriff's arri- val and action had reached the division of the strikers guarding the miners’ houses across the ravine and they hastened to meet their companions. They met on the hill above Center and formed on_either side of the road and invited the Deputy Sheriffs to pass through. The invitation was not accepted and the deputies allowed them to stand. This did not vlease them, and the band started back. One of the strikers, who as- sumed a leadership, bade the others rall in the rear. George Kelley of Claremont and Michael Dukes of Carnegie marched ahead, carrying flags, and attemnpted to break through the ranks of deputies. Thay did not succeed, and were com- pellid to stand and listen to the reading of the injunction. A fewof the more stubborn ones offered resistance and as- serte! a right to go down the road in the direction of the pit month. One of these was James A. Bruce (col- ored) of California. He said he had paid his tax and asked to pass through the line of deputies. When refused he insisted that his name should be added to the list of defendants in De Armitt’s equity sait, and also demanded a copy not oaly of the injunction but of the allegations upon | which it was issued. ‘While the negro was being disposed of, Richard Barrow of Walkers Mills and half a dozen companions seated them- selves on the side of the road and refused to move on. They said t ey could not be made to move by ali the deputies present, and a wordy war ensued. FKinally Deputy Sheriff Clark seized Barrow by the shoul- ders. Half a dozen strikers ran to his rescue. One striker, with a cooler head than the others, s outed to them not o resist the officers, and after much persuasion Bar- row and his companions moved off. The strikers then m rched to Camn lIsolation without further molestation, No one can tell how serious trouble was averted dur- ing the clash between the strikers and deputies. The strikers in camp at Turtle Creek obeyed the injunction by not marching on Oak Hill ‘mine. Instead they pro- ceeded to tiie Svring Hill mine of Demp- ster, Boyd & Co. and succeeded inin- ducing tbemen to meet them this after- noon and discuss the situation. Last night was one of slceplessness among the Deputy Sheriffs at Center. They had hardly fallen into a doze before the pickets gave an alarm that the strikers were coming in a body, and they tumbled out of bed and were marshaled about the company’s buildings at Center. The music of a brass band was heard, and after a wait of ten minutes the head ofa column of strikersappeared, escorting home from the camp Emma Haas, the lame girt who had been crowned by them with a wreath of daisies for firing a revolver in honor of the marchers, About 2 o’clock this morning some of the deouties doing duty at the Plum Creek mines were called from Center School to disperse a crowd oi Hungariaus. The daisy-crcwned Jeanne d'Arc had aroused seventy-five Hungarians to the point of accompanying her to the com- pany’s house to do missionary work. The motley erowd got a good start, but news of the move was conveyed to the deputies. After much chasing the depu- ties managed to catci up with the crowd and dispersed it. Superli);undanl de Armitt of Oak Hill mine 4 will make another determined effort to operate his mine with a largely increased number of diggers.

Only this morning several miners were stapped and threatened at Newton, and told what was going to happen in case they went into the mine.’” The strikers deny that any whitecap notice ha- been posted or men threatenad. Nineteen Italian miners, residing near the bridge at Newton. went to work at Oak Hiil this morning. Thev promised ‘o work every day if given protection. Or- ders were issu=a to the depuiy sheriffs to keep a posse constantly guarding the miners’ homes night and day. This afternoon William J. Brennan, at- torney for the strikers, said he would en- ter suit against W. P. de Armitt for per- jary in conmection ‘with the afiidavits made in the application for the injunction issued yesterday. Mr. Brennan said one of the defendants named had been dead two years, and two others had not been mining for about the same period. He said the names had evidently been taker out of an old book. FAIRMOUNT, W.Va., Aug. 13.—Ratck- ford, Gompers, Sovereign and other lead- ers held a mass-meeting at Monongah this afternoon. O’Connell said that believed the injunction would not be served. Mahon ciaims that West Virginia men will be out Mond ry. -~ Sheriff Lowry Changes His Plans. PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 13. — Sheriff Lowry to-day reversed his decision to ar- rest all strikers marching toward De Armitt’s mincs. The Sheriff instead stopped the miners marching and read vesterday’s injunction to them. He will take the names of all strikers who persist in marching, and if the injunction is up- held will haye them declared in contempt. The only outbreak of the day was when a deputy struck a miner over the head with a horn belonging to a member of the band. The miners’ leader restrained his followers from vengeance, and Dolar an- nounces that he will prosecute. REFIEWS FERMONT'S TEOOPS, Ihe Prosident Spends a Pleasant Dag in Camp. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 13.—The an- nouncement that the McKinley party were to be the guests of Governor Grout drew an audience of fully 30,600 people to-day to the camp of the Vermont State troops. The President and his guests were escorted to the camp by the United States cavalry from the special train which brought the Presidential party from Rut- land. Two hundred veterans of the war greeted the President on his arrival, led by ex-Governor Ormsbee of Bradon. Around the reviewing stand were mem- bers of Governor Grout's staff, stationed as a guard of honor.
