WILL DEMAND AN INQUIRY
Mattlngly Wants TO Know WHY He
Is Relieved From Duty.
New Phase in the Fifth Battalion
Troubie-A Friend of the Lieu
tenant Chdrc es Spite

The Fifth Battalion. D. c. Y. c.. is
agitated over difficulty between Major
Otto G. Simonson and First Lieut..
F. Carroll Mattingly. Of Company D.
Major SimOnson called upon Lieut..
Mattlnsiy to resign. The lieutenant
refused 70 do this. whereupon the
major directed the issuance of a bat
talon order relieving Lieut.. MattinsIy
from duty for thirty days. The lieu
tenant was notified that at the expira-
ton OF that time he would again be
relieved for another thirty days and
SO on.
Major Simonson has. so far as could
be learned at the armory last night.
preferred no charges against the lieu
tenant The only reason which he is
known to have assigned for his action
is that the good Of the service de-
mands it.
Lieut.. MattingIy holds his commits
sion, OF course, from the President He
can be compelled to reIinquish it only
upon conviction of some charge by q
court martial. The major has exhaust
ed his authority after having relieved
the lieutenant. Lieut.. Eattiugly has
the right to demand a court of inquiry
and this he viii do.
A prominent member of the National
Guard, but who is not enlisted in the
Fifth Battalion. said to a reporter of
The Times last night: This trouble is
the result of politics in the Fifth Bat
talon. There is a party which wants
to get rid of Mattingly. The leading
aspirants for a commission in Company
d are Sergt- -PinckneyS and Private
Patterson. SimOnson, when a captain
in the Guard. had a personal trouble
with Mattingly and the wound seems
not to have healed. Mattingly is a
gentleman and a good officer. He is a
particularly good tactician. and at
present IS military instructor to the
GOnzaga Cadets
Neither of the officers at issue could
be found last night. SimOnsOn lives at
No 1909 P street, and Mattingly on
Bancroft Place.

AFFAIRS ARE LOOKING DARK.
British Statesmen Believe Only Miracle Can
Preserve the Worlds Peace.


New York, March s.-A dispatch to
the World from London says:
Nothing short of miracle can pre-
serve the peace of the world now, It is
believed among British statesmen and
politicians. Not since the Napoleonic
wars has danger threatened from so
many quarters. Today's news from
Washington combined with the grave
tidings from China and WestAfrica sent
consols down one half on the stock ex-
change and the panicky feeling there
was reflected in the house of commons
lobby.
In their present temper. Englishmen
would regard with extreme dlsfavor the
transfer of any British built warships
to any foreign country.
The admiralty was savagely attacked
today for permitting Spain to take over
two torpedo boats recently completed
for her
Yet these boats were only the partial
filling of an order from Spain given
more than year ago, when four tor
pedo catchers We're contracted for from
the Fairfield Shipbuilding company. 1t
is proof of the extreme exigency of
Spain's requirements that those two
completed torpedo catchers are accept
ed, Notwithstanding that they failed in
speed trials and showed other defects
which there has not been time to make
good.
They We're contracted for as 30-knot
boats. but they only attained 20.
The work on the remaining two boats
is being strenuously pushed. but II
cannot be completed under six weeks
at the earliest.
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1898-03-08

passing one or II may grow into "A
frenzy. AT present none can say.
The worst feature Of the situation Is
the renewed aggressivencss of the
volunteers since the January riots.
Ihey have seen that the proposition Of
the radical autonomists TO disarm
them was sufficient to arouse the old
feeling. The government even with
autonomy moving forward would not
have been strong enough to overcome
n determined opposition. with the po-
litical policy dead. nothing remained
except to yield gracefully and deny
that the Intention to take away their
arms existed.
Since this old declaration has been
made, IL becomes the settled purpose OF
the government not to interfere with
the volunteers. Instead they are to
he coaNed and made to think they are
again the main support of SPANS
Sovereignty. They only are exultins
IN their strength. How far the exult-
Ing Will carry them, no one may pre-
tend to say. Their power and their
knowledge OF their power are bad
signs for the future.
Within week the sentiment against
Intervention has been stiffened. This
may be for effect, but the outward out
come indicates something deeper
among the official classes. who may
be presumed to know something OF
the policy which governs the Madrid
cabinet. The talk is all warike.
