ADMIRAL cRoWNINs HELD.
His Request to Be Retired Waa
Granted.

Granted.
Washington, March 1.-Two interest
ing and significant communications
have been received at the navy DC
partment from the European station
One was from Rear Admiral A. s
Crowninshield, commanding the Eur
opean squadron. asking to be placed
on the retired list of tie navy undel
the provisions of the personnel law
The other was from Lieutenant Henry
H. Ward, naval secretary to Admiral
Crowninshield, resigning bis commits
sion in the navy.
Prompt action was taken by Secre
tary Moody in regard to the case OF
Admiral Crowninshield. 1t was decided
to relieve him from active duty al
once. His application for retirement
will undoubtedly be granted.
Rear Admiral Charles 8. Cotton
commandapt Of the navy yard at Nor
folk, Va, was assigned I'd the com
mand of the European SOU adron. and
will relinquish his present duty at once
and start for Europe in the near future
The European squadron is composed
of the cruiser Chicago fla gship). the
protected cruiser Albany and Cincin
natl, the cruiser Raleigh and the guo
boat Machias.
The navy department contented
itself at first with the brief statement
Of the admira's application for retire
ment without explanation Of the rea'
son therefor. 1t is known, however
that the officer was dissatisfied with
the arrangements Of the armored
squadrons following the Caribbean
maneuvers last year, which deprived
him Of the further use Of the Illinois
as a flagship.

posite the city hall and public library.
The employees had just left the build
ing. A general alarm was sounded
calling out all the fremen and police,
and the garrisons were turned out as
fire fighting and patrol force, the
royal engineers manning their own ap-
paratus and preparing for the use Of
dynamite on buildings should the fire
have gotten beyond control.
The high wind drove the flames
east and north. All the buildings o.
posite the Moir building on Duke
street were consumed. The west END
OF the city hall was next ignited, but
after a desperate fight with the ad.
vancing flames the flremen won out.
Fhe fire In the city hall was confined
20 the upper story Of the west end,
where the public library was situated.
The library was considerably damak-
ed. In the meantime, tho wind having
shifted, the fire spread south along
Argyle street and before It was finally
checked all but two buildings in the
block were consumed. Moir's immense
factory. covering almost q block, had
become a roaring furnace and all ap.
proach was prevented. A heavy fall

Woman 10 Silent.

The accused woman maintains the
same sphinxlike demeanor that has
characterized her every act since ar
rest. She was subjected to sweating
process all day yesterday, but nothing
escaped her by word or action to in
dictate the slightest appearance OF
guilt. Not an eyelid quivered or the
slightest change of color showed In
her face as the officers confronted her
with the proofs Of the crime. Chero-
kee blood runs In her veins. Nothing
seems to break her stoical behavior
except an occasional profession of ig.
norance Of the entire affair.

Head MutiIated.

The head and face were horribly mu-
tilated. The entire right side was
crushed in. A huge aperture yawned
behind and above the right ear and
another over the left eye. Both jaws
were broken loose from the head and
the skull came to pieces during the
examination.
The theory is that Lartigue was kill
ed while In bed. The remains will be
buried In the potter's field outside Of
this city.
