Workmen employed ue the Norfolk

All last night plumbers and steam

torpedo boats Foote and Winslow.
Thirteen hundred mel are now em-
ployed Mt the yard, the force having
been Largely augmented within the last
few days. Thesorder continuing the

commission and ordering vacancies in
their complement of officers and men
filled Immediately caused much excite
ment.
A draft of twenty-one men arrived
here yesterday morning from the re-
ceiving ship Vermont for the Puritan.
One of the men, Seaman Kennedy, died
Mt Dover, Del.
Commander Farquhar, commandant OF
the yard, states positively that no or
ders had been received ut the yard to
indicate that war between the United
States and Spain was imminent.
The present large force employed,
he says, is due to the passage by CON
gress of the deficiency bill, which was
necessary in order to make repairs to
vessels that have long been needed.
Commodore Farquhar said that he
felt that the agitation resulting from
the Maine disaster would bring con-
gress face to face with the necessity
for more battle-ships and dry docks
and he hoped that one of the new
ships would be constructed at this
yard.
At Fortress Monroe there is no activ-
ity, but the men are watching eagerly
for news and say that the fort is ready
for any emergency. Without excep-
ton army and naval officers are ex-

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 21.-The release
of ex-State Auditor Moore upon n legal
technicality by the supreme court has
given rise to Is belief that the court
will now have to release ~ex-Treasurer
BARLEY, too, or else reverse itself. In
the opinion on the BARLEY case the
count recognized the operation Of the
doctrine Of estoppel in the criminal
law by holding that BARLEY could not
contest the validity of the depository
law, because the money embezzled had
been deposited under that law. In tie
Moore case it holds that the law under
which Moore collected insurance fees
was invalid and that the doctrine Of
estoppel from attacking its constitu-
tionality could not be pleaded by the
state. BARLEY has filed a motion for
a rehenring and lays particular stress
on this point.

ALWAYS A CARD IN THEIR SLEEVE
Spanish Diplomacy Takes Another
Trick IN Relation To the
1.H Sobrnl Affair.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Spanish diplo-
macy is up to more of its tricks.
Senior du Bose, the Spanish charge
d'atfaires, said that Lieutenant Sobral,
the naval attachc whose recall the state
department. was about to suggest on
account of his criticisms upon the
American navy, had resigned n month
ago and was now a private individual.
This is the first anyone in Washing
ton has heard of Sobral's resignation.
He has been recognized as the Spanish
naval attache up to this time and was
sent over to New York to meet. the
Spanish cruiser Vizcaya as the bearer
of official dispatches.
The belief prevails here t%hat.Sobral's
resignation or recall is Of very recent
origin. and thatit has been dated back
n few weeks for obvious reasons.
Senior du Bose said last night that
he would ask Sobral for an explana-
ton of his alleged STRUCTURES upon the
discipline maintained on board Amer.
lean warships, and it is said Sobral
signed various papers Yesterday and
the day before as naval attache."
