COMPETITIVE DRILLS.

Five companies stood rigid inspec-
ton and also drilled yesterday. They
were the Lyons Rifles, Irrelevant Ri
fies and Denison Rifles, in class B, and
the Morton Cadets and Governors
Guard, in class A. Four of the Nor
tons were overcome by heat and drop
ped out. The company inspection was
not as good as was looked for.
The Governors Guard came on the
field for the drill in the most perfect
time and good order and gave a fine
drill in 30 minutes. Their manual was
good, alignments well made. firing a
little ragged, and stack arms was very
good.
The Mortons came on the field with
the confident step of champions and
went through their program like veter-
ans. Their step was quick and springy
and movements in perfect time; align
ments all right, firing perfect except
one slightly ragged volley. The psf
Don movements were o. X and indi-
vidual errors very sparsely scattered
The manual by the numbers was most
excellent and brought forth rounds of
applause and the formation of fours
could not be better. The Mortons put
up Il Nlhllll5 uIlll lOI llTSl prize as all
conceded.
The Denison, Lyons and Trezevant
Rifles also put up creditable drills in
class B, the Trezevants doing perhaps
the best of the three

an applique of renaissance lace, gold
and steel beads and spangles, few
rhinestones being introduced upon the
gauzy decoration.

FATE OF Won HAHNKE
RENEWAL OF THE STORY CONCERN
ING A GERMAN OFFICERS SUICIDE.
He Is Alleged to Have Taken His own
Eye-LabOuchere's Comments.

LONDON, Sept. 7.-Mr. Henry Lab
ouchere, in Truth, to-day, renewed the mys-
terious hints which have been in circulation
since the death of Lieutenant Won Hahnke,
of the German navy son of General Won
Hahnke chief of Emperor Williams mill
itary Cabinet, who met his death by drown
ing in July last while accompanying his
Majesty on his trip to the northland aboard
the imperial yacht Hohenzollern. In so
doing, Mr.. Labouchere once more publishes
the intimation that the lieutenants death
was sequel to the black eye which EN-
peror William received at about that time.
According to one story the black eye was
caused by a blow from rope which was
being whirled about by the wind. Another
story has it that the Emperor so coarsely
abused Lieutenant Won Hahnke that the
latter committed suicide. Finally, still an
other version of the affair is that the
Lieutenant, stung by the Emperors sharp
words, resented them to the extent of
blacking his Majesty's eye and then took
his own life. Truth, in to-days comments
on the affair, says: 1T is worthy OF re-
mark that the authorized version was most
obliquely impressed by the officers and
men of the Hohenzollern upon every tourist
they met"
The oficial version of the affair, In brief,
seems to be that Lieutenant Hahnke, who
was accompanied by brother officer, ac-
cidentally ran into the river Grondalsely on
his bike while trying TO avoid a collision
with a shying pony. The river, it is further
explained. is a raging torrent from which
escape is impossible and when the neuten-
ant came upon the scene all trace of Won
Hahnke except his cap had disappeared.
Mr.. Labouchere adds: we received
letter saying that on the day following Won
same size and weight was tossed into the
torrent in order TO test its effect. When
The dummy was thrown in it, it was found
to be torn to pieces and everybody agrees
that Won Hahnke's body must have met
similar fate Yet, since the appearance of
Truth S remarks it IS announced from Ber-
lin that the body has been recovered after
being six weeks in the raging torrent and
that it will be brought here for burial"
In conclusion Mr.. Labouchere remarks:
Perhaps, in time, the full facts in this
very remarkable affair may be made
known ,,

tempt to substitute other reasons for those
originally advanced; the uncertainty when
or by whom the several injuries or investi-
cations leading up to the act of expulsion
We're actually conducted; the doubt when or
by whom the qualifications of the immi-
grants We're finally determined; the fact
that distinctions were made between indi-
vidual immigrants, VINO, in contemplation
of the treaty and the laws of Hawaii stood
", the circumstance that the policy of
the wholesale exclusion was suddenly in
aUgurated without any notice whatever to
Japan, and in direct and absolute contra
diction of tho pre-existing practice, all
unite to give the proceedings a character
which the application of the term capri
cicuS does not, / am persuaded, exceed
the bounds of fair and just comment and
condemnation"
The Hawaiian government, Count Osku-
ma goes on to say, has persisted in shift
signed for refusing to allow the immigrants
t. land. On this account it should not now
occasion any surprise, he believes, If the
Japanese government declines to discuss
the question whether the possession by each
ftee immigrant of $50 was bona fide or not.
1.-THE imperial government" he observes,
maintains that in the present case possess
sion was prima facie evidence OF ownership.
The Hawaiian government has frankly and
uneouivocally admitted that each OF the
rejected free immigrants was actually in
cared that under the Hawaiian law posses
sic n is Synonymous with ownership. Con-
sequently, the imperial government otnles
that it was at any time incumbent OF the
immigrants to prove that the pCSSeSSlon In
question was bona fide.

NO NEW CASES.
Indignant Denial from New Orleans
One Death at Ocean Springs.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. Might fell
upon New Orleans without a single case of
yellow fever having been reported. But
one imported case thus far has developed
here, and death has wiped that out. The
Board of Health tonight, through its pres
ident, DR.. Ohphant, and it's president pro
tom. Dr. Walmsley, declared that in spite
of all reports to the contrary, not one of
the many who had come hither from Ocean
Springs had been stricken with the fell
disease. A statement from Washington,
made on authority of the Marine Hospital
officials in Washington, that DR.. Oliphant
had telegraphed DR.. Wasdin, at Mobile
that two deaths had occurred here and that
there were three new cases, is untrue. Dr.
Oliphant aGirms with emphasis that he
signed no such dispatch, nor did any repre-
sentative of his in the Board of Health
and that it was unjust thus to create alarm
in the public mind when there was no foun-
dation for the story.
Last night during the meeting of the
Board OF Health it was decided in keeping
faith with the health organizations of the
country TO wire the exact situation here
to Dr. Wasdin. of the Marine Hospital Serv-
ice at Mobile. The appended dispatch was
sent and dispatches of similar import were
sent to some twenty-five boards of health
in this country: 'One case OF fever, from

AN AMERICANS CLOSE SHAVE
Narrowly Escaped Transportation
from Havnna to Africm.

NEW YORK, Sept. THE Ward line
steamer Yumuri, which arrived here to-day
from Tampico and Havana, brought Lo-
renzo Wives. who was arrested last De-
cember at the Hotel Angleterre, in Havana,
and imprisoned at Cabanas for five months.
Wives is an American citizen. He de-
nounces in bitter terms the hotel proprietor
+. Nillamill, who is a captain in the Span
ish volunteers. Villamill reported to the
Spanish authorities that Wives was a Cuban
sy mpathizer and caused his arerst. With
out friends at hand or means of communi-
eating with them, Wives was held at the
Cabanas for five months, when he was
taken out with a large number of other
prisoners to be transported to Africa, but
Consul General Lee interfered and de-
manded his release as an American citizen
Wives was sent to JAIL and later, through
the efforts OF General Lee, obtained his re-
lease. Wives admitted that he had been
sent out on a secret mission by the Cuban
Junto, but the Spanish authorities are un-
able to prove this He said the only thing
that saved him from death was the fact
that he was an American citizen.

He VIII Insist on Acceptance of Hls
Resignation.

PROVIDENCE. r. l., Sept. TT is un-
officially announced that DR. Andrews will
insist on the acceptance of his resignation
from the presidency of Brown University.
This decision was arrived at after a con-
ference this afternoon between DR.. An
drews and the advisory board and the ex-
ecutive committees of the corporation. His
correction with the Cosmopolitan Univer-
sity II is thought, will take up too much
time to permit of his devot!ng his atren-

spite of q letter received by him from the
Saculty begging him 10 remain.
