LESS BLUSTER.
And Excitement Apparent in the
Preparations for War Conducted at
Washington.

Washington, March 9.-There were
fewer signs of excitement and haste at
the War and Navy Departments to-day
and such preparations as are being
made towards putting the army and
navy into efficient condition are now
going on with more method and less
exhibition Of the feverish spirit of ap-
prehension that characterized the pro-
ceedings of the last few days. There
is a general expression Of belief that
for the time at least there is no pros
pect Of hostile collision and that
what seemed to be crisis has been
safely passed.
Secretary Long paid several short
visits to the White House during the
day Secretary Gage was among the
callers there, and Secretary Alger
went over from the War Department
to see the President, all of which led
to surmise that a special cabinet
meeting was likely to be held, but it
turned out that these visits were not
prearranged and were connected only
with matters of business pending be-
fore the respective departments repre-
scented by the secretaries.
In the Navy Department the officials
were devoting their attention largely
to the fitting out Of the triple screw
cruisers Minneapolis and Columbia. 1t
is likely that the two vessels will go
to Hampton Roads as soon as they
are fitted out and manned, which is
expected to be about the 18th instant,
according to the dates upon which the
officers are ordered to report.
Work in blocking out the two new
regiments of artillery authorized by
Congress is now under way in the War
Department. Necessarily there will be
some of the men who enlisted in the
artillery arm of the service assigned
to the new regiment, in order to in
struct and acquaint the recruits with
the nature of their duties, while in
turn some of the latter will go to the
regiments now formed. The officials
of the department believe there will
be no difficulty in obtaining all the
men needed.
At the Spanish legation the view
prevailed that the situation was
much calmer than it had been at any
time since the critical juncture be-
gan. Senior Du Bose is preparing for
the arrival of the new minister, Senior
Pola Bernabe, who reaches New
York to-day and comes directly to
Washington. Mr.. Pablo Zoler, first
secretary of the legation, has gone to
New York to meet ehim. Mr.. Du
Bosses services as charge happens to
have come during the most trying
period Of the entire Spanish contro-
versy, and there is reason to believe
that his government feels gratified with
thp course he has nnrcnpd

MONTGOMERY IN HAVANA.
The American Cruiser Arrives Safely-No
Word Concerning the Length of Her


BULLETIN
HAVANA, March 9.-The U. S. cruiser
Montgomery arrived here at 9:55 this
morning.
The arrival was very quiet, it being gem
orally understood that she comes TO re-
place the coast survey steamer Fern as
quarters for Captain Sigsbee and others
After firing the usual salute and being
saluted in return, the Montgomery was
moored in the principal harbor near the
wreck of the Maine, and in the center of
a circle of Spanish ships.
Later in the day, Commander Converse
received the Associated Press correspond
ent on board the cruiser. though he had
nothing to tell him beyond the facts al
ready sent. There is no indication Of
the length of the cruisers stay in this
harbor, any more than there il any news
of the duration Of the sessions Of the
corut of inquiry here.
The court held its usual sessions to-
day, examining the divers. Only the
Spanish divers were at work, and they
were only occupied part of the day. The
wreckers are steadily removing the up
per debris of the wreck, some of which
will be dumped into the sea. Other por-
tons of the wreck are worth saving.

Lancaster, Pa, March 9.-Roy Geh-
rig, of Milton, Pa, shot and perhaps
fatally wounded Will B. Davis, of St
Clair, Pa, at Millersville, to-day and
then killed himself.
The boys were pupils of Pierce's
Business College, of Philadelphia, and
went to Millersville on Saturday to
call upon two lady students at the
Normal School there. They returned
to the village last night about 10
o'clock, and securing a room at Hoax S
hotel, retired Immediately. Early this
startled by fusilade Of pistol shots
and a moment later Davis came run
ming down stairs with blood gushing
from several wounds in his face. An
other shot was heard, followed by the
sound of a body falling to the floor.
Davis ran into the bar room, exclaim-
ing: my chum shot mel" Davis was
in bed when Gehrig, who was walking
about the room, drew a pistol and
fired three times in quick succession
at Davis One bullet struck him in
the left temple, another entered his
upper lip and came out under the
ear. and the other struck him in the
right wrist.
Those who rushed to the room where
the tragedy occurred found Gehrig ly-
ing on the floor with bullet
HOLE IN HIS LEF'E TEMPLE.
He died without regaining conscious
ness. A note written by Gehrig and
found near his body gives his explana
ton of the tragedy as follows:
I'VE are dead in love with Alice
Cummings and Annie Holmes and not
being able to see them, and they keep
ing away from us, we resolved to take
our lives. My name is Roy Gehrig, of
Milton, Pa, and the little fellow is
VIM. Davis, of ST. Clair. Please no.
tify our parents at once We would
like to be cremated, SO notify our par
ents at once"
Davis says he knows nothing Of the
note, and denies there was any COM
pact to commit suicide. from what
can be learned it seems that Gehrig
who was introduced to the ladies by
Davis, was desperately in love with
Miss Cummings, and that he md Da-
Wis had dispute over her. Gehrig
then, it is supposed, decided to kill
Davis and then take his own aife, and
wrote letter to make the affair APP
pear like a double suicide. They were
each about 10 years old.

BRO: PUTNAM, of the Granite Falls
Tribune, soliloquizes thusly: "Who
shall say that man has not suffered
enough in the effort to gain fame? IT'S
aNworthy object to strive to acquire
wealth for when one grows old he may
need it to insure immunity from the
rain and frosts but to tackle the route
that leads to fame one must meet OBJ
stacles and contend with friends un-
true. Broken promises are as numer-
GUS along the way as are bridges with
huge sign boards up telling the trav-
eler that they are safe and when he
gets on to them they are as sure to go
down. Perfdy and a thousand jeal-
ousies line the path to fame and none
except for ability and moral worth
ever reach the goal aspired to. =
