 on the Subject.

Washington, Aug. 5.--Charles Cramp of the shipbuilding firm of Cramp. & Sons was at the navy department to- day in conference with Acting Secre- tary Roosevelt and Captain ONeil, chief of the ordnance bureau, to learn the intention of the department in the matter of procuring armor for the pat tleships now building. The response or the Cramps to Secretary Longs invi- tation to submit proposals for supply ing such armor as they need for the ships they are building has been de- layed by the absence from the United States of MT.

TURK EY MANNED TO KEEP OFF. Foreign Fleets Will Fire on Her Squadron
 if It Remains in Cretan Waters.

Canea, Island of Crete, Aug. 1.-The admirals in command of the foreign fleets in Cretan waters to-day informed the Turkish governor of Crete of their decision to prevent the Turkish squad ron which left the Dardanelles on Tuesday last for Crete according to a report, from staying in Cretan waters. The answer of the governor was that he had received communication from the Turkish government denying that the latter had dispatched fleet of troops to Crete and stating that the Turkish squadron concerning whose movement there had been so much comment, was going to Sigri, Island of Mitylene.
 Canea, Island of Crete, Aug. 5.-The belief of the Cretans that Djevad Pasha, the new military commandant, is really charged by the sultan with instructions to wreck the autonomy scheme, has had at least one very inn portant result. ts
 The deputies representing the prin- cipal provinces have sent to the foreign admirals an official declaration accept ing autonomy and expressing desire that the Turkish troops should be withdrawn from the island.
 This is the first document of a unanimous character which has been submitted to the powers in response to their proposition of an autonomous regime.

STOLESILVER FRO1r TIT E TREASURY
Colored Man Arrested for Abstracting Money From United States Yaults

Money From United States Vaults.
 Washington, Aug. 5.--During the progress of the count and weighing of the silver in the vaults of the treasury, to-day, incident to the transfer of the government funds to the new United States treasurer, Thomas Martin of this city. a colored laborer engaged in handling the bags, was arrested upon a charge of abstracting silver from the vaults. A shortage of ten dollars was found last Monday in the weight of one of the bags. Another shortage of eighteen dollars was found to-day, and as Martin was suspected a watch was put on him when he left the vaults dur ing the noon rest.
 After leaving the vault Martin went into the sub- basement, where there is a pile of fire wood, and hid the eighteen silver dollars among the sticks. As soon as he had left the cellar the light was turned on and the money was discov- cred.
 The case was put in the hands of Chief Hazen of the secret service, who placed Martin under arrest and took him to his office where he made a writ ten confession. Slugs of lead were put into the bags to balance the weight of the coin abstracted. Martin has been a helper at eight weighings of the treasury cash, and never before has been suspected of wrong-doing The whole amount taken was BPS, of which Martin had spent $9.50, the remainder heinz recovered. The penalty in this case Is a term in the penitentiary of from, one to ten years and a fine of not more than $5, 900, or both.

TO BE DOCKED AT HALIFAX.
Painful Confession of Our Lack of Facili
 ties to Repair Our War Craft.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The big bat tleship Indiana sailed away from New port to-day for Halifax, where she will be docked, cleaned and painted. She is the first of the battleships that has been sent from the United States to a foreign dock for lack of docking facili- ties at home, but it is probable that she must be followed by her sister ships, the Massachusetts and the Iowa, and it is expected now that the New York dock will be repaired in less than d year time and there Is TO other dock on the Atlantic coast capable of receiving them.

KING LEOPOLD .ls IRBIrRAroR.
His Reported Selection to Mediate Be
 tween Japan and Hawaii.

Washington, Aug. 5.-No official mo- tlce has been recieved of the reported selection of the king of Belgium as arbitrator of the dispute between Japan and Hawaii, but generally the selection is highly commended. The officials say that King Leopolds repu- tation for fairness and liberality is so well established that there could be no possible objection to the exercise by him of the powers of arbitrator, pro- vided a choice is to be made from among European rulers, It Is not be- lieved that our own government will be called upon to advise as to the se- lection and it is highly improbable that it will interfere in the matter so long as the wishes of Hawaii are met.

SOUGHT TO KILL DR. HALE.
William Collier, a Divinity Student, Plot
 ted to Kill the Eminent Divine.

Narragansett Pier, R. l., Aug. B. William Collier, the young Memphis divinity student who plotted to assas- sinate Dr. Hale, came to the Pier from Boston about ten days ago and hired a room of Mrs. Stephen Knowles. He stayed in his room nearly all of the time and wrote necessarily. He said he was engaged on most important work. It was seldom that he could be induced to come to lis meals. When Mrs. Knowles tried to expostulate with him he said: You do not know whom you are talking to; I am the second Messiah, and have come to redeem the World.'
 He frequently spoke of Dr. Hale and said the doctor was a great man to save souls, and he would learn from him how to do the same thing.
 Last Wednesday afternoon he got a letter which bore a Memphis postmark He seemed much disturbed. He bor- rowed some old clothes and left early the next morning, saying he would re- turn. When he had gone Mrs Knowles found 8 letter open on his desk, which read as follows: You have two dis cases; one is what the world calls con- ceit; the other Is laziness. You had better go to work.'
 The letter bore the name of Dr. Hale Collier is raving wildly tonight, and says that Dr. Hale tried to balk in his efforts to save mankind, and that he had been inspired to take the doctors life.

THE MINERS' STRIKE.
The Situation in the Several Districts Has
 Not Changed.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 5.-Out of the 5000 strikers who camped at Turtle Creek last Saturday barely 300 now re- main at Camp Determination. Many of the men were drafted to Plum Creek, where the great struggle for su- premacy between the strikers and the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company will be carried on. At Turtle and Sandy Creeks the strikers have practically won. Reports from Plum Creek are conflicting. The story that President DeArmitt has arranged to bring colored men to the mines is de- nied. Liberal contributions of food for the miners camp were made here to- day. Families along the Monongahela Valley are said to be destitute.
 Eviction of strikers from company houses was begun to-day by the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal company. It is said new men have been secured to work the Oak Hill mine tomorrow
 Cleveland, O., Aug, 5.-Cleveland coal men view the coal strike situation with much apprehension. They are deeply interested in the mass meeting to be held in the Clearfield district in Penn sylvania, which the strike has not yet reached. Advices received here state that DeAmitt's mines are paralyzed and the feeling is that there may be an absolute tie-up. Resumption of work by several of Clevelands large manu- facturies will rapidly decrease the sup ply of coal here and much alarm is felt.
 Springfield, H.. Aug. 5.-The state miners convention in session here to- day passed resolutions coudemning in strong terms Judge Jackson of Parkers- burg. w. Va, for issuing an injunction restraining Eugene V. Debs from speaking. The resolution also con- demns all judges restraining the free use of speech as long as it is peacea- ble.
