 Dying.

Waterbury, March 25.-An Italian saloon conducted by Rafael Pozzorino and Rucco Sangiletti at the corner of Bank and Jackson streets was the scene of a murder tonight, the victims being Felice Bellosatti, aged twenty-five, and Angelo Ingrisani, aged twenty-three. Bellosatti was stabbed in the heart, causing almost instant death, and Ingrisani received a wound in the back which pierced his kidneys and another in the abdomen and he is not expected to live but a few hours. The trouble arose over a game of cards and the asailants, two Marciano brothers, have escaped. Ingrisa-i has made an ante-mortem statement to Medical Examiner Axtelle.

NAVAL RESERVE ES.
Immediate Arrangements Lilxe ely for Theil
 Calling Out.


 Washington, March 25.-No definite arrangements have been made by the department for the calling of the naval militiamen into service. but such ar engagements will be made perhaps be- fore tomorrow night. It is not un- likely that the naval militia of New Jersey will be called upon to assist in manning the old monitors. As to the rumored likelihood that the naval mill itia of Ohio, Illinois and Michigan would be called into service, navy de- partment officials said that no steps to that end had yet been taken, but the intimation was broadly conveyed that they would be called upon to serve on the monitors. The department is satisfied that not only the vessels themselves, but also the crews, mex perienced though they may be, would give a good account of themselves in an emergency.

MARINE UNDERWRITERS.
Report Hardening of Rates Ownig to
 Spanish-Americas Situation.


 Spanish-AmericaR Situation.
 New York, March 25-Marine under writers reported to-day that there was a hardening of rates consequent on the developments in the Spanish situation. The rates, which had rang ed from 1s of per cent. to 14 on steam- ships and from & of per cent. to IA on sailing vessels, doubled yesterday, and a further rise is looked for. Even at the rates quoted some risks were re- fused, principally those for a longer time than two weeks. It was reported by the companies that inquiries about war risks were greatly in excess of yes sels offered. Traders and merchants manifest anxiety to find out in this way how the situation is regarded in con- mercial circles generally

THE NEVIS FROM MADRID.
Despite Comments Government Pursues n
 Conciliatory Policy.

Madrid, March 25.-The government,
 despite the comments of the newspa-
 pers, is pursuing a conciliatory policy
 and, it is believed, will propose that
 the Maine disaster be referred to inter-
 national arbitration. Among the wild
 rumors current to-day was one to the
 effect that United States Consul Gen
 eral Lee at Havana had slapped Gen.
 eral Blanco's face and that General
 Blanco drew his revolver and killed his
 assailant. The rumor was ridiculed and immediately denied officially.
 London, March 26.-The Madrid cor respondent of the Daily Mail says: ''The tenor of the comment of the Spanish press is that the American commission of inquiry into the Maine disaster is afraid of an international investigation. It was first reported that the United States would not ac- cede to Captain SigSbee's request, but later information alleges that the Washington officials are discussing the advisability of blowing up the remains of the Maine. The general belief in
 Madrid is that America does not con- slider the Maine question a sound basis for conflict and is seeking to provoke
 Spain by sending help nominally to the
 reconcentrados, but really to the reb- els. The Spanish press is unanimous in treating as an insult America's sus- picion that Spain is guilty of having exploded the Maine"
 United States Minister Woodford when interviewed tonight with reference to the report that he hard received ad- vices from Washington as to the find ings of the Maine court of inquiry and the proposed action of the American
 government, declined to divulge any thing. General Woodford said: Pres ident Mckinley desires peace, which I also earnestly desire"

on fInr mo oldest.

It Is not generally known that the
star-spangled Banner of the United
States is older than any one Of the pres
ent flags OF the great European powers
1t was adopted in l777 by the congress
OF the thirteen colonies OF North Amer
lea, then at war with the mother coun-
t1y. The yellow and red Spanish nag
came out in 1855; the French tri-color
was adopted In 1889; the red English
emblem, with the Union Jack in the
upper corner, dates from 1901; the Sar,
dinian (n0w the Italian) first fiuttereo
In 1913; the Austro- Hungary nag was
one of the consequences Of the compro-
mise of 1867; the present German naf
first appeared in ISL, and the Russian
4ri-color Is quite a recent affair.
The only modification that the Ameri.
can flag has undergone since Its original
consists in the addition Of a new star
every time new state IS taken into the
Union. The stars now number forty
five. and unfortunately for Spain, It Is
more than likely that they have not ye'

Tn. Real Objection.

The Register looks with dlspleasure on
the prospect OF Hon. C. C. Watts, the
late defeated Democratic candidate for
governor, meeting his victorious oppo-
nent, Governor Atkinson, in a series of
Joint debates. Some of the reasons fur
It's objections are rather unusual, one OF
them being that Mr.. Watts is accepting
the challenge without the consent OF the
Democratic state committee, and that
he isn't a candidate for anything. We
deduct from this powerful reasoning
that Democrats OF prominence In this
state, who desire to take active part in
the campaign. to the extent of accepting
challenges from the other party to meet
Ste representatives on the stump and
vlndlcate Democratic principles. must
nave the official sanction of the state
committee. Then, the rule is laid down
that IT should be proper for none but
candidates for office to engage Ia Joint
debates. These objections are not quite
so broadly stated by the Register, hut
they are capable OF being so construed.
The real truth OF the matter Is that, II
the Democratic state committee had
been perfectly frank, and Il the Wheel
ing organ had desired 10 give a more
logical reason for It's desire to dIscour-
age the proposed Joint debates. in which
tho two gentlemen are acting on their
responsibility as representatives OF op-
posing principles, exercising the rights
OF freemen, different face would have
been put upon the matter by both tho
committee and the Register, The frank

III, PhiHppins Situation.

Two important dispatches received at
the war department yesterday from
General otis gave a most satisfactory
account of AFFAIRS at Manila, and will
remove all approximations of serious
trouble with the Insurgents, for the pres
emit at least. General Otis statement
in the first dispatch. that no further re-
Inducements are required, indicates his
confidence in the influence of the better
element OF the Fillplnos. In his second
dispatch the information he gives more
than confirms reports published in Lon
don from Manila, that better feeling
prevails among the insurgents toward
the Americans.
General Otis report that commerce
and trade are active. the health of the
troops is good, and that the revenue re-
ceipts at Manila viii exceed expendl-
lures, the latter including subsistence
for the thirteen thousand Spanish pris-
oners, is evidence that at present the sit

Quoted, is 335o,OoO, while the receipts for
