She Steamed Thirty Miles North of the
Regular Route.
New York, April 30.-The United
States auxiliary cruiser Yale, formerly
the American line steamship Paris has
eluded the Spanish warsnips and will
be at her dock this morning with her
$50 passengers. She was sighted off
Fire island at 2:47 o'clock this morn
ing. The liner. about which such deep
anxiety has been felt, sailed from
Southampton one week ago yesterday
at y. m. She was in command of
Captain Watkins and carried, besides
her passengers, a cargo made up most
ly Of munitions Of war for the United
States.
The American line steamer Paris ar
rived this morning from SOUTHAMPTON
after rough passage of over seven
days, with . saloon. AZ second cabin
and 9S steerage passengers. The Paris
left Southampton April 22 at d. m.
After clearing land Captain Watkins
shaped his course about north and aft
er run of 30 miles headed for home
keeping a distance of about 80 miles
from the usual course taken in preyi-
Gus trips.
Captain Watkins had no fear the
Spanish war vessels would catch his
fleet steamer after he got sea room.
but IL was thought possible that some
craft OF the enemy might be lurking
In the vicinity of the channel or neigh
borhood of the Irish coast to waylay
the American craft At night every
light on board the Paris was extin-
guished and the headlights were COW
cred. Strict watch was maintained to
detect the approach of vessels.
The Paris brought is cases of muni-
tions OF war and small quantity of
miscellaneous merchandise. The Paris
entered the Narrows through a field
of mines and torpedoes at $50 this
morning and was saluted by steam
whistles of passing craft as she went
to her dock. IL is expected the Paris
will discharge her cargo to-day and be
received by the naval authorities to-
morrow morning. when her name will
be changed to Yale.

Helena, April 30.--The looked for
data from the war department did not
arrive to-day. consequently Governor
Smith was unable to issue the expected
order for the mobilization of the troops
at Helena. II has been expected all
along that the detailed information
would arrive to-day, and when 1t failed
to materialize. genuine disappointment
was expressed at the executive head
quarters. 1t is a matter of sincere re-
gret with the governor and others in
terested that this information did not
arrive to-day. The following telegram
was received by Lieutenant Wallace
to-day from II. &. Corbin, adjutant
general OF the army:
Ascertain the whereabouts OF the
squadron Of the Montana cavalry.
which has been assigned to the Sd u. S

ready for examination and muster"
This leads to the belief there Is
good show for the cavalry being or
dered out. Lieutenant Wallace replied
that four troops of cavalry are ready
to take the field at moments no

POSTMASTER sHAW's SHORTAGE.

POSTNASIER SHAW'S SHORIAGE.
Weymouth Centre, Mass, October TO-
Postmaster Robert E. Shaw, ofsthe Wey-
mouth Centre postoftice, has been removed
on account of an alleged shortage in his
acoou nts of 2.400. Col B. S. Lowell, S.
b. Totman and ]. A. Cushing, his bonds.
men, have made the amount of the Short
age good and J. A. Cushing is now in
temporary charge of the Office. The
action on the part of the postoffice officials
was great surprise to the community as
Mr.. Shaw was very well known here,
having held the office since it was estab.
listed in 1890, PresidenG Harrison making
the appointment. The first intimation
that all was not right at the postoffice
was disclosed yesterday when Mr.. Cush-
ing was found in charge but the facts of
the case were kept secret until this morn
ing. 1t is understood that the postoffice
officials made an examination of the office
last Tuesday and it was then they found
he alleged shortage. The bondsmen were
ut once notified but MIR. Shaw was al
lowed to remain until yesterday. The
Office pays salary of 81, 600s being rated
as third class. Postmaster shaw is an
active Republican and well known in this
vicinity He has wife and family.
Just what has been done with the
money remains to be explained as all Mr..
Shaw will say is: 81 have spent it. !"
When Mr.. Shaw's term sxpi1ed two
years ago. President Cleveland appointed
j. W. Whelan to the Office, but his nomi-
nation was not confirmed by the Senate
so Mr. Shaw held over until the next ad-
ministration when he received a reap.
pointment by President Mckinley. Mr..
Shaw owns grocery and let part of it
to the government for the postoffice.
