since the trip was commenced, and when
she died the flag was clasped TO her
breast.
She was noted for her great humanity
and when at Matanzas saw Saunt
mother sadly embracing her dying child.
The feelings of Mr.. ThurstOn were eX-
cited by this sad scene and probably this
incident helped to hasten the end.

COURT OF INQUIRY SAILS
AN UNEXPECTED DEPARTURE FOR

Hopes to Resume Sttings on ihe Battle. Ship
Iowa NeOr Key West 10 Study

Havana. March 15-The Mangrovc,
with the Court of Inquiry on board,
sailed tonight for Key West. Captain
Sampson. President of the Board, as
sured the Associated Press cOrresnon-
dent that the decision TO leave Havana
was not reached until this afternoon,
after consultation of the members. 1t
was decided that. while further testi-
mOny might be obtained here, this was
not sufficiently likely 10 justify "a longer
stay. The court can return if the divers
or wreckers make discoveries that add
10 the stock of knowledge now gathered.
The plans of the submerged wreck, i'll
the preparation OF which Ensign Powell
son has had large share. are very
elaborate. and Captain Simpson says the
testimony and records of the divers are
very full.
Captain Sampson hopes the court will
be allowed TO resume its sfttings on the
battle ship Iowa, now near Key West
with the flagship New York. The great
er part of the investigation that remains
will consist. unless the court returns
here. of a careful study of the plans.
1t il not thought that it will be neces-
sary to again summon the survivors of
the Maine, officers or men.
The court has no prophecy to make
as to the further duration of its sittings,

THE CABINET MEETING.
Time Mostly Consumed in Discussing
Defense Measures for the Navy.

Washington, ID. c., March 15.-Noth
ing of special Importance was develop
ed at today's Cabinet meeting. A large
part of the time was consumed in the
general discussion of the measures being
taken to place the Navy on proper
footing for defense in case of trouble
The question of the purchase of war
vessels, where they could be had and
at what place, was talked over, bul
without coming to any definite c0nclu-
sion on any new propositions. Intor-
nation in possession of the govern
ment is to the effect that up to this
time Spain has not consummated the
purchase of the Chilian warship O'Hig-
gins. The indications, it is stated, seem
to be that this ship will be added nltl-
mateIy to the United States Navy.

AN AssAssIN's FOUL CRIME.
A Negro and His Baby Are RiddleC
With Buckshot.

Savannah, Ga, March 15.-A special
TO the Morning News from Qultman,
Ca, says:
One of the blackest crimes in the his
tory of this county occurred twelve
miles north of Quitman last night at
o'clock. An unknown party slipped up
10 the window of the house of Henry
Raines, a prominent negro, and shot him
and his two year old baby to death
Eleven buckshot entered Raines's head
four lodged in the baby and twelve III
the wall. Raines' wife was sitting be-
tween him and the window and it is be
leved that the murderer intended to kill
her also.
Ranes had been trOtting the baby Oh
his knee, and had the gun been fired
while that was going on, the baby would
not have been killed, but at the time it
did fire, he was in the act of kissing it.
1t is thought that the cOroner's jury
now in session will find an Indictment.

THE CARTIER COURT-MARTIAL.
1t Has Now Resumed its Sessions at
Savannah.

1t has NOW bCSuiucu It's sessions ar
Savannah.
Savannah, Ca, March 1J.-The Car
ter cOurt-martial resumed its sessions
here to-day after am absence of more
than two weeks In New York City. The
United States court room being in use,
the court secured the banquet hall in the
DeSoto Hotel, where the audience was
more select than it had been formerly.
Chief Clerk j. w. q. Sterly was the
first witness called on, and his testi-
mOny was asked with reference to the
only specification upon which the prose-
cutiOn had not yet touched-that in
which Captain Carter is charged with
having bought articles for office use by
putting them on the pay rolls as labor,
instead of having them go through the
regular routine.
Chief Clerk Sterly said that it had been
Il regular practice in the office for the
last twelve years, ever since he has been
here.
1t was shown by the defense, however,
that Chief Clerk Sterly had made the
payments in this way himself, though he
claimed he did it all under Captain Car
ter's orders.
Mr.. Blair, for the defense, objected to
the introduction of Il pay roll which
showed that Captain Carter had been lc-
imbursed for $3.50 for money spent for
uniforms for sailors on the Angler, by
committing the amount into labor. This
raised a false issue, Mr. Blair contend
ed, which related to nothing in the
charges, but the court admitted it.
Several witnesse who had furnished
articles and signed the pay rolls as la
borers were introduced to testify to
these facts.
Adjourned till II o'clock tomorrow.
