WHEELER ON SHAFTER.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. ls, 1sss-
Postmaster A. H. Wills has received a
letter from General Joe Wheeler dated
Santiago de Cuba, July 27, in which Cen
eral Wheeler says, referring to news
paper reports concerning General shafter:
Il think the criticisms upon General
shafter We're very unjust He has had a
hard task and has performed it SUCCESS
fully and well. He Is a man of more
than ordinary brain power and adminis-
trative ability. The criticism that he did
not place himself on the firing line is
ridiculous, as on July he was carrying
on two fights at the same time-one at
Caney and one at San Juan; he had some
reserves and had to place himself where
he could see both fights and manage the
whole affair, which he did effectively"

MORE JOURNAL" FAKES
No Truth That Judge Blair Will
ouash Freeholders' In
dictment.

The Journal printed a story yester-
day that there was a rumor current to-
day TO the effect that Judge Blair had de-
cided to grant the motion made by the
counsel for the indicted Freeholders that
the Indictment be quashed.' There was
no such rumor current except in the inn
agination of the writer of the story. 1t is
not a all likely that Judge Blair will
quash the Indictment.
The Journal had some statements of
fact in the story. One was that the Free
holders wer indicted. That ceased to be
news several weeks ago. Another was
that Judge Blair heard the motion and
reserved decision. That also ceased to be
news some weeks ago.
Probably the most remarkable state
ment in the story is that Judge Blair is
on his vacation, and that when he returns
he will announce his decision. That GER
tainly Is a pretty safe guess. AS there
was no rumo- current that Judge Blair
would quash the Indictment, it could not
possibly have created much talk in polit-
ical circles, as the Journal alleges. The
Journal" gives a very frank confession
that the story is q fake. by saying:
but the rumor could not be traced to any
definite source"
The probability is that Judge Blair Will
refuse to quash the indictment.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
Actions Of a Cow Reveal
a Fearful Crime in
an Orchard.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug 13, 1S9S.-The vii
lage of Dearborn, ten miles from here
is at present wrestling with the most mys-
terious murder in its history. Frank
Greenwald was driving COW through his
orchard when suddenly the animal re-
fused to go further. On investigation
Greenwald found under a tree short
distance from the road the body of Mary
Mahil, a domestic who had been employed
in the village.
On closer investigation he found the
girls throat was cut, the razor with
Which the deed was done lying but few
feet away. For distance of several yards
the tail grass showed evidence of a ter
rible struggle An examination showed
that the girl had not been assaulted and
as she had no money the motive for the
crime cannot be imagined.
Officers discovered the tracks of a man
leading to the railroad track from the
scene of the crime, and found blood on a
barb wire fence where he had crossed the
track. The girl had told several friends
brother, Albert Parish. Parish, however,
denies this. After working on the case
officers arrested Parish on suspicion, but
500 after released him.
TWO little girls who had been visiting
at the house where Miss Aahil was en-
ployed told of carrying notes between
Parish and Miss Mahil several times
which partly led to the arrest. Parish
claims to be able to prove an alibi and
stoutly maintains his innocence, He Is a
young man of good reputation.

SPANISH FANCIES.
Extraordinary Naval News
From a Yellow San
tiago Journal.

Correspondence of The Associated Press. ]
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug l, 1885,
The enterprise of the American press in
its search for news pales into significance
when compared with the Journalistic feats
and startling discoveries made by the
Spanish press in a quiet, unohtrusive way.
The Randera Espanola." Santiago's $
leading paper, in It's issue Of March 3,
commenting on the naval preparations in
the United States, informs its readers
that
"Of all the improvements that are being
introduced in the United States navy, per-
haps the most curious are the disguises
for their warships for use in time Of
war.
These disguises consist of painted
screens of wood and eilcloth, so fixed that
they can be lowered overheard and fast
ened to warship's sides, covering and
hiding the batteries and so painted as to
exactly represent some particular vessel
of cne of the transatlantic lines plying
between New York and Europe. They
even initiate an upper or hurricane deck,
and the illusion is complete.
THE advantages to be gained from such
a clever contrivance are obvious, as it en-
ables a vessel on sighting an enemy or
greater power or speed to don a peace
full. innocent disguise and evade pursuit,
or vice versa, to approach weaker ad-
versary without exciting suspicion.
"The different navy yards in the United
States have been working steadily on
these Improvements since last November,
and several of their large cruisers are
already equipped with their monks
