Nc Doubt About Another Expedi-

New York, March Sit was definitely
learned tonight that the steamer which
TOOK aboard II cargo of arms and ammu-
milton OF l5arnecat was the Laurada.
The news that the expedition was Off the
New Jersey coast was brought To port by
two Pinkerton detectives. who were
aboard the Philadelphia tug Protector

ton authorities ordered out the cutter
Manhattan.
These facts leaked out to. night and. in
addition, the statement is made that the
iilibusters or the I.aurala had lots of finn
with he two Pinkerton men. The I.au-
rada anchored ten miles due east of Bar
negat on Sunday evening. The tug Vol.

There was much excitement on board

made out the Cubnns resumed work.

about the Laurain two or three times.
whiie her officers got the name of the

In the meantime hundred dark

deck and tainted the detectives with
jeering remarks. The I.aurada was seven
miles outside the three mile limit, and
her men knew that the Pinkcrtons had
no authority to arrest or board the vessel

Philadelphia, March 3.-The power
house mt Thirteenth and Mount Vernon
streets, from which the Union Traction
Company operates Il half dozen of its
lines OF trolley cars, was destroyed by fire
this evening. The loss is about $500, 900.
principally ON the valuable .machnery I'm
the building. The loss is covered by in.
Surnnce. The power house was large
brick structure covering third of n
block, aud contained eight dynumos and
other valuable machinery.
About q o'clock this evening some of
the employees were swinging Il big chain
around that was in the building, and the
iron chain hanging from the ann struck
Il generator.
Following the explosion fire broke out
and "utted the building and DESTROYED
the eight dynamos or rendered them use
less, and rretricvably damaged the other
delicate machinery in the building. The
dynamos were the property of the West
inghouse Electric Company. The trac-
tion company claimed that they were not
working properly, and hail therefore
never accepted them, and the Wesuing-
house Company was running them at its
own expense pending some decision in the
matter. About half the loss, therefore,
will fall upon the Westinghouse Com
pany.
During the progress OF the fire August
\. Binder, and II well dressed, good look
ing young man were run over Nv n fire
engine and killed. Both men were look
ing ut the fire ut the time they were run
down Several other persons were more
or less injured by other accidents. The
fire occurred ut an hour mt which thou
sands OF people were returning home from
work, and ms the ears ON fifteen streets
were brought to complete standstill
much Inconvenience to the public re-
suited The traction company Topped
the wires rendered useless by the fire to
the lines operated by other power houses
and made shift to give as good service rs
they could.
The destruction of the power house will
seriously cripple the surface transit
facilities of the city for some time, as the
traction company will be compelled to re
duce the number of their cars on most of
the streets until they can supply the
power lost by the burning OF the house

rived here this morning from New York
city Shortly before 3 o'clock INSPECTOR
FitzDatrick received message over the

to NIL the charges made against him by
the navy department. The police lecov
cred S?,91O in his possession.
Corwin decamped from Newport last
Monday, after having cashed II check for
Sj,o0O. An Investigation of his accounts,
it is alleged, revealed that he was be-
tween $1,000 and 5000 short, exclusive
of the amount of the check. Monday he
was called upon to explain the deficit.
Instead, however, Corwin went to the
FIRST National Bank, the Government de.
pository ut Newport, and drew IL check
or the Union National Bank, of Boston.

he met her there and gave her $4,000 of
the money he had secured at the Newport
bank. The remainder, lacking 800 was
found in his possession to day.
While being questioned by Inspector
Fitzpatrick he answered nearly all the
questions put TO him. He denied that he
had spent any money lin gambling or
high living but admitted that he was
several thousand dollars short in his ac-
counts. lie said that while he had not
used this money for himself he was re.
sponsihe for it. He refused to say What

Washington, March 3.-Another naval
naymaster has left his post of duty with
out leave, the officer involved in this case
being William 2. Brawley, of the Yantic,
on the South Atlantic Station at Monte
video. The cable brings meagre details
of his escapade, which is not connected
with pecuniary matters, but involves the
wife of brother officer. Brawley is a
young North Carolinian, son of an ex-
Congressman, appointed to the Service
May %, 1895.
a week ago he cabled his resignation
to Secretary Herbert, urging its imme-
diate acceptance, and the following day
he disappeared from Montevideo, EITHER
by land for Patagonia or by sea to Cape
of Good Hope.
The navy department promptly asked
Captain Yates Sterling about The cause
of the resignation, and to-day reply
came telling of Brawley's flight after
"scandalous conduct affecting a brother
officers honor" and advising the accept
ance OF the resignation, his accounts be-
ing all right and there being no contn-
oencv by which any government loss could
result from getting rid of him.
