No ships In the Market.

Washington, March 16.-Although the
secretary of the navy is stlll pursuing
with vigor his quest for suitable war
ships that may be purchased In Eu-
rope, beyond those already secured at
the Armstrong works, no further ac-
questions have been made.
At the navy department n high off,
ciol said: There do not seem to be
any ships In the market. This IL not
exactly the idea meant to be conveyed.
Their are large number OF ships in
the market. and many OF them have
been offered to the department. but
unfortunately the vessels are insult
able in general character for naval
service or else are so far from COM
pletion as to he undesirable pur-
chases. Perhaps better success may at
tend the departments efforts now Capt.

CONDITIONS IN CHINA.
Germany Grabbing Territory England
Afraid OF Russia.

San Francisco. March ia. Burlin-
game johnson, United States consul at
Annoy China, has written n paper to
the Bulletin. in which he makes some
very startling statements regarding
the condition of affairs in China.
He practically accuses Germany of
grabbing large territory in China up
on what he deems a trivial preteNt, and
tells of the Russian occupation of Port
Arthur and England's protest. He
ridlcues Germany's emperor and his
brother, Price Henry, and in relating
the circumstances of England's ob1ec-
ton to Russia in Port Arthur. says:
ut has been so long since England
fought a nation whose men wore panta-
looms that the sight of an anticipated
enemy that is not dressed in breech
clout, tunic or turban, causes palpita-
ton of the heart"
Mr.. Johnson's home is at Grand
Junction, Col. He was the secretary
of the Rpublcan state central commit
tee of Colorado during the Mckinley
campaign.

one OF them said to the correspond-
ent: "Those OF us who are to be Left

vene tomorrow morning and hear ties.

poet to get away by Saturday.
The general impression Is that the
evidence thus far received was care
fully gone over today, and that the
points requiring additional testimony
were marked out. Capt. Sampson and
Judge Advocate MariX had long con-
SITUATIONS with Admiral Sicard, after
which the officers from whom further
testimony was deemed unnecessary
wett given their leave orders.
Capt. Sampson and Judge Advocate

that a consultation was held among the
officers of the court and that Rear Ad-
miral Sicard's wishes Were communl-
Gated to those who had not talked with
the fleet commander personally.
Among naval officers and others 1t Is
generally believed that the court of in
quiry has come to the definite conclu-
sion that the explosion was external
and that the court is. now only busy
over minor technical details. This
however, is only an opinion, and of no
further Importance; for with the eN-
ception OF the members of the court,
Rear Admiral Sicard and Commander
West, no one here has any real cue to
the final decision.
One of the officials of the Maine
said to the correspondent: 81 believe
the Maine was blown up from the
outside, but judging from the questions
asked by members of the court when
previously here, am utterly unable
to ascertain whether they have even
countenanced such Il solution of the
disaster. / have talked with fellow Off

LA LUCIA IN THE DARK.
Cannot Understand tho Attitude of the
United States.

Havana, March LIZA Lucia, in its
leading editorial this afternoon, says
1t is unable to explain the bellicose
attitude of the United States, and in
clines to the belief that this is the
fault of business syndicates like the
sugar trust, or due to some new de-
sire to annex Cuba, which has
changed the physiognomy of the
American people" 1t claims that Spain
has done nothing to hurt the pride of
the United States, and refers to the
friendliness of Spain for the American
colonies when they were fighting
England, and also the strict neu-
trality maintained during the Civil
War"
La Lucha says It can only explain
the help given the insurgents from
American sources during the present
insurrection in Cuba by defective law,
varying in the different states of the
American Union" The editorial says,
concluding: 1.-THE end of the journey
will show which nation has the more
to lose in contestant may now come.
No doubt Spain does not fear war.
Public opinion, If not demanding, does
not repcl hostiltes. 1t is believed by
many that this war is the only means
of reaching an end of the present state
OF affairs"

/ Chicago. Jan. 2i.-Adolph l.. Luegert
went on the witness stand to-day and
told to the jury the story of the doings
| in his sausage factory the night OF
May l. in an endeavor to explain the
mystery surrounding the disappear
ance of his wife, for whose murder he
| is being tried. An immense crowd
| gathered around the criminal court
| long before the case was called but the
! police allowed only those TO enter who
| had tickets of admission. Judge Gary 5
courtroom was packed. There was the
| usual number of women present After
| relating the story of various financial
deals in which he was Interested Luet-
| CERT was asked if during the time he
was first engaged in business he was
married. Luetgert replied in the af-
| firmative.
Il was married to Miss Pauline Ruel-
Ike in 1872" said the defendant
How do you spell that name?"
'Oh, i don't know; l never could
spell it," was the reply
Attorney Harmon of the counsel for
the defense then went into Luetgert' $
financial affairs at the time of Mrs.
Louisa LuetgertS $ disappearance. and
drew out the statement tnat Luetgert
was worth about $4,000 exclusive of
real estate.
Attorney Harmon then asked I.uet-
gert when his first wife died.
In November, 1878
And how long We're you a widower?"
Until January, 1871
At this point Luetgert broke down
and commenced crying like child.
Seeing the condition his client was in,
Attorney Harmon asked for a recess,
but Judge Gary refused to allow IT,
After a few moments Luetgert re-
gainaH If
The display of grief drew smiles to
the face of Police Captain Shuettler
who occupied seat Immediately be-
hind the defendant and the jurors
looked on in astonishment as Luetgert
placed his face in his hands and sobbed
Before you were married, where did
you and your little boy Arnold live?"
was the next question.
i slept in the store myself and my
boy at my motherin- laws"
When were YOU remarked the Sec
ond time?" Luetgert was asked by his
counsel.
In 1879, to Louise Bicknese"
There was not a trace of er1oton in
the voice of LuetCert as he mentioned
the name OF the woman he is charged
with having murdered The defendant
then told of the various places he and
his wife had lived, and of his going
into business at his latest location i'm
1879. The court at this point took a
recess
Nothing important transpired during
the afternoon session and the eNamfna-
ton of the witness by his attorney Mr.
Harmon, was SO slow that when court
adjourned nothing pertaining to the al
legged murder Of Mrs. Luetgert had been
brought out, though Luetgert had fenn
over three hours on the witness sfand
Luetgert proved to be a very lachrvmos.4

name of his wife was brought into the
case. He will take the stand again to-
