Fort Monroe, Va, April G.-The Brook
iyn' flagship of the Flying Squadron, tried
her elght-inch guns to-day, in order to test
the new elevating apparatus designed to

subjected. The test, which was under the
direction of Commodore Nschley and Capt.
COOK, was of a most satisfactory nature
and Commodore Schley said that the

Feared in Tennessee.
Knoxville, Tenn, April 6.-The lawless
element of Sewer county, which for sew
eral years has organized itself into a band
of whitecaps, is in arms and bloody bat
tie is expected to be fought at any mo-
ment.
Sevierville. the county seat. seventeen
miles distant from Knoxville, is in a
stage of siege.
The trouble arose over the killing OF
Magistrate William Wynn by Sheriff Ma
pie ON the streets of Sevierville this after
noon.
Wynn, the man killed, was a brother of
Pleasant Wynn. a notorious whtecap
who is at present standing trial for the
brutal murder of an aged couple named
Whaley.
Wynn, when killed, was abusing states
witness and was told to stop by Sheriff
Naples. Instead of complying, he attempt
ed to draw a revolver. The officer proved
the quicker and the whitecap fell to the
ground with five bullets In his abdomen.
Twenty-Five officers have left this city
for the scene of the trouble, and as all
of the roads are guarded by whitecaps a
pitched battle is expected to be fought
before morning.
The state militia may be called upon to
quell the trouble, and will doubtless have
all the fighting it can attend to without
going to Cuba"

Members and Spectators DisappOtnt-
ed at Failure to Get Message.
Washington, April 6.-After waiting pa
tiently in the galleries and corridors of
the House for hours, many of them from
8 O'Clock this morning until shortly be-
fore o'clock this afternoon the thous-
ands who had come to hear the President
Cuban message turned away weary and
disguised at the delay.
Never was there such disappointment at
the capitol. The members felt it even
more keenly than the spect ators and for
two hours afterward they stood about the
Hobbies discussing this latest phase o, the
situation.
The news of dhe proposed armistice
which came on the heels of the announce
ment that Gen. Lee had cabed for delay,
received quite as much attention as the
request of Gen. Lee.
The debate in progress in the House
over the army reorganization bill attract
ed little or no attention. 1t was complete
ly overshadowed by the more absorbing
question.
Considerable opposition to the bill devel-
oped on the ground that its provision for
an extension of the regular army in time
of war to 900 men would be inimical
to the national guard and the volunteer
forces upon which the country had here
tofore relied in time of stress There
viii be strong effort to recommit the
bill tomorrow.
