At Savannah.

Savannah, Ga, April 11.-At Savan-
nah more than 5000 persons were at the
station to see General Lee when the
train came in. The crowd was enthu-
siastic, and a short speech was made
by the general, being frequently APP
plauded. AS the train rolled into the
station, a platoon of the Chatham ar
tillery, Of which General Lee is an hon
orary member, began firing major
generals salute of Is guns. General
Lee and the members of his party We're
completely tired out by their long trip.
Orders were given here by the trans
portation of the Plant system for oper-
atOrs north of this city to withhold
all information as to the progress of
the train, so as to prevent the party
being disturbed. The party retired i'm
mediateiy after leaving Savannah.
The enthusiasm ran so high that the
crowd climbed to the windows of the
car, and the glass front door was
broken in the crush. General Lee was
deeply moved at the sincere demonstra-
tons.

Monitors Go South.

New York, April 1.-THE monitors
Terror, Puritan and Amphitrite have
been ordered to join the battIeships off
Sands Key Light, says the Key West
correspondent of the Herald.
This move. at this time, is accepted
here as evidence that the fleet is MAX
ing final preparations to move with the
least delay when the order comes. Mon
itors, of course, are slower than other
vessels, but would play a great part in
the formation of the first line of at
tack.
Some changes in the plan of the STRAIT
egic board have now been decided upon.
MORO castle will not be sheiled, be-
cause of the prisoners there, and the
Cabanas will escape for the same rea-
son, in case the present trouble be-
tween Spain and the United States goes
beyond target practice. AS it is known
prisoners are still confined in some of
the cells, it is thought advisable to con-
centrate fire on the batteries of Santa
Tiara. and the 12-inch battery near
MORO castle.

about the killing Saturday night: MIr.
FRANKLIN Owens of that place had been
shot down in cold blood by one of his

that Thomas disposed OF some grain

Owens Went 10 his ranch and asked

ing before the fire leaning upon the
mantel. Thomas. without prOVocation,
stepped back quickly TO the door, drew
his gun and without any warning, shot
Owens down, shooting him the second
time as he fell to the floor, killing him
instantly.
Before the other men could collect
their thoughts Thomas had disappeared
in the darkness and is still at large.
a posse of men were hurriedly col
lected in Long valley and have started
in pursuit. The ranch is miles from

The. feeling of uncertainty which pre-
vailed here ended to considerable de-

definite breach between Spain and
the United States was unavoidable.
Apart from the great interest taken
ia the message, and the speculation as
to the action of congress on the sub
Ject, the situation here is entirely I'M
eventful. The greatest war fleet ever
assembled in American waters still lies
distributed about the harbor, with
steam up. ready and eager to swoOp
down upon the enemy at the nations

During the past few days there have
been fewer naval men ashore than ever

Indians to Fight.

Appleton, Wis, April ia delega-
ton of a dozen Indians from the
Oneida reservation is endeavoring to
make arrangements for the enlistment
of number of Indians in case of war
with Spain. They are disappointed in
not being able to find anyone with au-
thority to enlist them at once. a COM
pany of 100 and possibly two COM
panies, could be raised on the reserva-
ton in a few hours, and the most of
the enlistment would be young men.
They think that if they prove their
worth in war against Spain they could
be made citizens, and show they were
competent to manage their own affairs.
The war spirit is said to be high on the
reservation.
