Chicago. March 10.-F. NJ Brockhaus
wanted in Wilton. Conn, for the MUIR
der OF David S. X. Lambert. a military
instructor at that place, is under ar
rest. IL Is charged that last December
Brockhaus and Bernard Willis. a pupil
of Lambert, entered Lambert's residence
for the purpose OF robbery. and killed
Lambert and severely injured his wife.
Brockhaus does not deny that he and
Willis are the ones who robbed the Lam
bert house and killed it's owner. The
killing, however. Brockhaus charges to
Willis, saying that lie tBrockhaus) took
part only in the robbery. From Will
ton they went to New York. where a
short stay was made. Then they went
to Newark. To Philadelphia and thRnce
to Washington. They were next raced
to Richmond. Va. From there the men,
closely followed by officers. went TO Gin
cinnati. and finally came to Chicago.
After three weeks search the police To-
Gated Brockhaus and arrested him.
Brockhaus was eating supper with his
brother and the latter's family when the
detectives entered. He was completely
surprised and surrendered without re-
sistance. Under the pillow of his bee

KEY WEST ADvICES..

Key West, March 10.-The Mallory
liner Nueces arrived yesterday with 600
packages OF provisions for the starving
Cubans and $50 cases OF ammunition.
The ammunition was transferred TO the
Marblehead and will be taken without
delay to the Tortugas for distribution
among the warships there.
Brigadier General Wilson. chief OF the
United states army engineer corps. re-
turned to Tampa last evening after in
specting the local fortifcations.
While the news that the senate had
passed the $1,000. 600 defense bill caused
profound satisfaction among the naval
and military authorities I'm Key West,
many declared that more was needed for
the purchase Of battleships and that the
necessary appropriations should be made
without delay.
Among the recent rumors is one that
Rear Admiral Sicard had been relieved OF
the command. This. however. is denied.
although the admiral declines TO discuss
the probabilities OF his resignation or
the condition OF his health. Well In
formed officers say II is only n question
OF a short time when he will be relieved
OF the severe responsibility now resting
upon him. Today he look more harrassed
than at any time previous for a fort =
night.
A letter has been received by a naval
officer from an officer In Havana saying
that the Maine officers now in that city
will leave for Key West Saturday next.
II this information is correct. IL may be
assumed that the court OF inquiry viii
leave Havana on or before that date.

havana. March 1o.-Havana escaped
the excitement OF Sunday last which
seems to have reached high pitch al
Key West and elsewhere. Consul Gen
eral Lee was not advised from the state
department OF a request from Madrid
for his recall. nor of the withdrawal of
the request. Information as to both
points was furnished him by the CORE
spondent OF the Associated Press. In
the absence OF particulars. General Lee
believes that the request was prompted
by the autonomists. who probably al
legged that he was not a believer in au-
