Capt. Joseph c. S. Blackburn and

took the matter in excellent spirit
and laughingly declared that it was

to make severe structures on the
irregular sponsors. 1t is uncalled
for. The official christening itself
was irregular, and perhaps in view
of the ineradicable superstition of
man-of-war's men ought not to
have been adopted. The efficiency
of a ship depends much on the love
of her by her sailors and their be-
lief in her genius of good luck al
ways attendant. To adopt any
course that would impair that be-
lief is not wise. The breaking of
a bottle Of wine or whisky in the
regulation way perhaps has not in
all the world ever contributed in
the slightest to the improper nae of
alcoholic beverages. The use of
wine in this connection probably
once had symbolism like the use
of wine, corn and oil by certain
societies in laying corner-stones of
buildings. Much of the current
symbolism and the observance of
holidays have come down from
pagan times, and there 10 about az

ANOiH RURAI MURDER,
Thomas Beary, Aged Fifty, Shot Near
Woodbury..

Woodbury., Conn, June 12.-Thomas
Beary, aged fifty years, who resided in
Minortown, situated in the northwest
corner of this village, was shot and
killed at his home early this morning
and Morris Clemens, aged fifty-five, his
supposed murderer, is under arrest.
The affair was the outcome Of a hard
cider quarrel. Beary lived alone in a
little shanty off the main road and
was somewhat of a hermit, existing
principally by hunting and fishing.
Clemens has no regular abode and
works only at intervals. He has of
late been employed by Lewis Atwood
of this village. Clemens visited Beary's
shanty Saturday night and the latter
was about going to bed, but instead
both men indulged in numerous
draughts of hard cider. The result was
that a quarrel ensued about o'clock
this morning, during which Beary re-
ceived the charges of double -barreled
shotgun. below the groin and bled to
death.
Leon Mansfield, a neighbor residing
about a quarter of a mile away, heard
this morning started to investigate.
His curiosity was rewarded by finding
Beary lying dead on the ground outside
the shanty. After the shooting Glenn
ems went to another neighbors house,
but said nothing of the affair. After
his discovery Mansfield sent word to
Deputy Sheriff Crane and Medical Ex-
aminer Karrman was notified, who
viewed the remains. Clemens was soon
afterwards located and locked up. 1t
was found that his shoulder blade was
broken. Later the gun was found and
it was discovered that the butt was
broken. Clemens admits that he and
Beary quarreled and that he was struck
by Beary, but recalls nothing more.
Coroner Higgins of Winsted will hold
an inquest tomorrow and will endeav-
or to ascertain whether Beary was in
tentionally shot or whether he struck
Clemens with the butt and accidentally
discharged the weapon himself.

SUPPOSED SPANISH SPY.

EdOurado Montesi Still Confined in
Cell on Governors Island.
New York, June 12.-Edourado Mon
test, who was arrested on board the
steamship Tartar Prince, Saturday, is
still confined in cell in Castle William
on Governors island. 1t is supposed
that the man is a Spanish spy or at
any rate in the employ of the Spanish
authorities. The greatest secrecy is
observed at Governors S island about the
affair. The officials still refuse to
make public the nature of the papers
found in his baggage. There were
many letters addressed to persons in
Spain. All these were translated by
secret service officers to-day and the
originals and translations will be for
warded to the secret service bureau at
Washington. II is supposed he will be
taken to Washington this week. The
other Spaniard who was arrested was
set free late on Saturday night. The
technicality upon which the man is
held is that of violation of the postal
laws.

st. Thomas, Danish West Indies,
June 12.-Walter Bett, who is said to
have been a secretary of Mr. Crawford,
the British consul at San Juan de Porto
Rico, the latter now acting for the
United States, arrived here yesterday.
Mr.. Bett, it appears, was accused Of
communicating information to the
United States authorities concerning
the mines and Notifications Of San
Juan. and he was therefore ordered to
leave Porto Rico. The Spaniards claim
that this is a fragrant breach of neu-
trality. Mr.. Bett denies having sup
piled the United States authorities with
the information referred to.
Thirty-one Porto Rican refugees,
mostly women, also arrived here yes
terday. The newspapers say that two
months of the existing conditions will
bring Porto Rico to the verge of star
walton. The government of the island
has established few public kitchens
for the relief of those who are suffer-
ing the most. The Spanish torpedo
boat destroyer Terror is now regarded
as being useless owing to the break in
her boilers and the lack of means to re-
pair them. She is still at San Juan de
Porto Rico with the Alfonso XIII, Isa-
bell IL, Ponce de Leon, Concha and
Comachat. At least they were all there
when the refugees left San Juan.

The Spanish fleet was overmatched
in ordnance, but not in such a degree
as to account for the marvellous dis
parity in the damages inflicted. OF
guns that throw shell of one pound

while the American fleet was armed
with 118 of such weapons. The terms
of the surrender of Manila have not yet

and other colonists were carried into

edly met a worse fate. Three hundred
friendly natives were killed and beside
the white missionaries SIX colored mis-

grus. The English missionaries are at
the mercy of the war boys but have
not been molested.

SOME FINE QUESTIONS


the Chamber of Deputies.
London, June 12,-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Times telegraphing
Saturday says: In the chamber of
deputies to-day Senor Osma, a highly
respected deputy, questioned the gov
ernment, among other matters, as to
whether a blockade can legitimately
be made effective by obstructing a port
with sunken ships, mines or torpedoes;
whether it is allowable for belliger-
ent in this fashion to obstruct a port
which is not formally blockaded:
whether an effective blockade, once in
terrupted must be formally repro
claimed, and whether 1t is legitimate
for belligerent to employ as allies
semi i-civilized natives living under the
jurisdiction of an opponent, especially
when there is reason to apprehend that
the latter will commit all manner Of
excesses now happily unknown in civil
lied warfare.
Duke de Rio, the foreign minister,
in the course of a very guarded reply,
expressed the opinion that an inter-
rupted blockade must be re-proclaim-
ed. He said the question as to whether
the blockade from Cardenas to Bahia
Honda was formally proclaimed had
been submitted to the powers, but they
had not yet replied. America, he said,
was operating against Santiago appar-
emily on the assumption that a block
ade of that port had never been for
mally proclaimed. The foreign minis
ter was careful to avoid making any
accusations against the American ad-
ministration.
