Captain Aunon, the Minister Of Ma

regarding the destination of Admiral
Camara's squadron.
The Spanish papers declare that the
statements that the bodies of Amer

tilated by the Spanish troops and sim
liar sentiments regarding the loss of
the Maine are made with the object of
infaming the American populace.
Captain Aunon, the Minister of Ma

terrible assault of the fleet.
Three large cargoes of supplies are
known to have run the blockade al

smuggled to Havana by way of the Isle

AT CHICKAMAUGA.
Sunday Day of Rest Among the
Soldiers.

CHICKAMAUGA Ga.), June 19.-To-
day was an exceptionally beautiful one
at Camp Thomas, and a cool breeze
was astir and made park life delight.
1t was significantly day of rest among
the soldiers. All drills were omitted
and the Sabbath was generally OBJ
served In this respect the day was
somewhat in contrast with many of it's
predecessors. The Chaplains of the
various regiments held services, and
many evangelistic cohorts were active
ly at work. The reverence with which
these services were listened to and the
general good order which prevailed
among the camps were significant of
high moral tone which pervaded the
entire army. The soldiers were for
hidden to congregate at points of
amusement, and practically remained
in camp, with the exception of some
who had permission to spend the day
on outlook duty.
Six hundred recruits for various reg
iments arrived during the day. making
a total for three of nearly 1-S0O. Until
the 1900 more have reached the park
the daily arrivals promise to increase
rapidly. Prominent among to-day's ar
rivals We're the following: Brigadier
General Peter c. Hayes, Third Division,
First Army Corps; Brigadier General
j. p. Sanger, Sixth Army Corps, under
General Wilson; Major Clayton Park
hill, surgeon, U. S., First Division, First
Army Corps.
Major Parkhill is assigned as sur
geon in Merritt's camp, and was to
have gone to Manila, according to first
orders.
No orders We're issued to-day aside
being hurried up, and the one supreme
effort seems to be that of Fastening the
work of equipping the regiments.
There is now no complaint whatever
from any of the regiments about their
rations.

Naval Reserves To-day.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 49, The
auxiliary cruisers at this port will be
taken possession of by the Naval Re-

The Iroquois went to Mare Island to-
day. Her armament has arrived from
the East, and as soon as it is placed in

The other vessels of the auxiliary

The revenue cutter Corwin, which has
been in the dock of the Union Iron

Mare Island to-day, and will be at once
placed in commission. She is destined
for San Diego for harbor defense. Her
armament is to be greatly increased !.
The British ships Belford and Luci-
para have arrived from Newcastle with
nearly 5000 tons of coal. Their car

Feeling In France.

New York, April 19.-William Sprague,
the war governor of Rhode Island, ar
rived here yesterday from six months
sojourn in Paris. He said to a reporter:
1.-THE governing classes, at least in
Paris, which Is France, favors Spain.
OF the innumerable newspapers in Paris,
only two, so far as am aware, favor the
United States. The governing men OF
France, or rather the republics officials,
do not say anything openly, but have II
given out that they do not approve the
intervention of the United States in
Cuba. The cause of this feeling is prin-
cipally, I think, the sympathy of one
Latin race for another which sympathy
is growing stronger as against the sug-
gestion of an Anglo American alliance"

Killed Her Husband.

FHchburg, Mass, April 18.-Mrs. Isa-
bella Hannigan was arraigned before
Judge Thomas Gallagher In the police
court here this forenoon, charged with
manslaughter in causing the death OF
her husband, Nicholas Hannigan, at
their home on April 10. Hannigan dled
after a dispute at his house, where the
Hannigans and others had been drink
ing. The first witness was Mrs. Annie
Bradshaw, who occupied tenement N
the same house. She testified that she
saw Mrs. Hannigan push her husband,
but she did not see her strike him. Wit
ness afterwards saw blood on Hanni-
gan's clothing She heard Mrs. Hanni-
gan say: my God, what have done!
I did not mean to do it," Witness was
called into the Hannigan tenement at
1890 o'clock on the same night and saw
Hannigan lying on bed apparently life
less.
Clinton Mckinley testified that he saw
the occupants of the Hannigan house
drinking. He saw Mrs. Hannigan kick
her husband, and the latter made move
to strike her, but he changed his mind.
The woman had a glass In her hand.
The next witness was J. B. Kielty,
medical examiner He said he made the
autopsy and found cut over the LETT
eyebrow and blood on the brain. He
found evidences Of alcoholic excuses.
He thought death was caused by cere-
bral hemorrhages, but they were not
caused by blow from a fist. The
wound over the eye might have been
caused by fall or a drinking glass. The
medical examiner also found evidences
of chronic alcoholism, which might have
caused death.
Chief of Police Tarbox testified that
Mrs. Hanigan told him that she struck
her husband with glass. The defend
ant then took the stand. She said that
all hands at her house were drinking
up to the time of her husbands death.
Mrs. Hannigan admitted that she
struck her husband and that she had
called him fool. The court found
probable cause and held the defendant
in the sum of $1,000 for the May term of
the grand jury.

Not Going to Interfere.

London, April 1S.-The general Eu-
ropean situation makes 1t impossible to
bring about any attempt to interfere
with Americas Cuban policy, despite the
fact that Austria and France would be
glad to intervene If they could get the
support of the other powers. Europe,
as a whole, including Great Britain,
would be glad to escape the unknown
complications and dangers which even
the Spanish American war must involve
for the general peace of the world, but
all alike regard hostiities as now I'M
avoidable, and the chief concern is to
make the crisis as brief as possible. To
this end it may be safely predicted that
the unanimous European influence VIII
be exerted to induce Spain to regard her
honor as satisfied and surrender Cuba
after the shortest resistance. In fact
there Is some ground for the belief that
this phase of the question has already
been the subject of the notes which are
passing between the powers.
