 With the New York are the Marblehead and the Bennington. The vessels were steaming along, says the letter. through a dense fog. According to the chart and an observation obtained Just before the fog shut down there was plenty of clear deep water for miles in every direction and the flagship set a fairly speedy gait
 Breakers ahead" came suddenly from the lookout forward. The flagship was stopped and the other vessels were or dered to do the same. All anchored and no move was made until the fog lifted Ahead in every direction could then be seen breaking water and not a quarter of a mile ahead was an island on which but for the lookout's keen ears, the New York and her escort in ten minutes more might have grounded.

 GRACIOUS TO AMERICANS
King Charles and Suite Pay Visit to Admiral Cotton on Board the Brookyn-FectOus Greetings Are Ex-

subject with Admiral Cotton being very interesting and cordial. The visit ended after luncheon.
 Admiral Cotton in his remarks at the luncheon said he desired to thank his majesty for the honor of his visit, and that he desired to profit by the occasion to express his great appreciation of the suitability and extreme cordiality of the reception rendered to the squadron, not only by the king, but by all the people of Lisbon. He proposed a toast to the king, queen and the royal family of Por- tugal. The king in replying, said he con- graduated himself that he had had the opportunity to visit the American squad ron. The cordial manner in which he had been received put upon him a pleasant obligation-that of thanking President Roosevelt for the pleasure he felt at hav- Ing made the acquaintance of Admiral Cotton. He would, therefore, he declared, send a telegram to President Roosevelt, in which he would also thank the Presi- dent for the good will of the American people shown by the visit of the squad ron. He proposed a toast to the first mag istrate of the United States, saying to drink to the President was to drink to the prosperity of that powerful nation.
 The announcement by the King that he would send a cablegram to President Roosevelt was greeted with cheers.

tha New Yorl, Press

From the New York Press
 The indorsment of President Roosevelt's course in the matter of the Kishenef petition by the men who were most deeply interested in 1t and who followed it's every step anxiously is most fitting. The last act of placing the petition in the archives of our State Department Is peculiarly satisfying, as it completes the record both of the petitioners and of our government Dealing directly with Rus sia, the president and Secretary Hay went as far as it was possible for them to go in informing them of the petition and asking for it's presentation. With that denied, the incident seemed closed; and no person could ask for further action.
 But the President has gone further. That great petition, signed in the name of common humanity by men of all nationalities and of every creed has not been returned to the committee having it in charge but will forever remain among the official papers in our State Depart ment with an appropriate recital of its reception and of the con ferences with Russia on the subject. It is open to the world to read-more open than it ever would be had 1t reached the Russian court.

KENTUCKY TRIAL
 CONTINUED 4 WEEK Prosecution is Still Calling Wit neSseS Against FeudiStS TESTIMONY IS DAMAGING saloonkeeper Freeman Tells of Visit
 From Jett and White and Their
 Talk of the "Doe Who Was Killed"
TESTIMONY IS DAMAGING

| ] Cynthiana, Ky, August 1.-The second tial of Curtis Jett and Thomas White for the murder of J. B. Marcum has con- tinued one week, and the prosecution Is still calling witnesses. The state was not half so long at Jackson, Ky, closing it's side but it was compelled to do so because most of its witnesses could not be secured there Commonwealth's Att torney Byrd has surprised all in securing the attendance here of Rersons from Breathitt county that 1t was thought would never testify against either of the defendants.
 Among the witnesses who fled to the mountains during the trial at Jackson was Henry Freeman and he was held in con- dnement here several days until he was needed to testify. He was on the stand again today for the third time and told all about his saloon near Jackson; that he had killed a man himself and served | sthree years in the penitentiary for the same, and that Jett and White came to his place for whisky on the night after Marcum was shot and talked freely about s"the dog that had been killed"
 Freeman testified that while they were drinking Jett said: T had to get ahead of aim some way, and I did 1t the best I sould"
 Freeman was disconnected in his evi- dence but the examination brought out many points. Freeman testified that White had said to him that Marcum fell soon after he (Whte) had passed out of the courthouse
 
 Mrs. Combs evidence, as given at Jack son on the first trial, was read to the jury, as her husband died here today.
 Mrs. Combs corroborated Mrs. Mary Johnson in saying that Jett had told her that Mrs. Johnson asked him who killed her brother, and his reply was, Yes, killed your brother"
 There is no prediction as to when the trial will end as the defense Is now hunt ing up witnesses everywhere in Brea- thitt county and it Is said subpoenaes have been issued for a hundred witnesses on that side.
 Nancy Blanton and John Blanton cor roborated Freeman as to Jett's where abouts on the night of the killing. John Blanton, Seldon Bach and Miss Laura Rawlins testified that Ewen was at the courthouse door immediately after the shooting. Freeman testified that Jett and White came to his house for whisky on the night of the killing, and said: "A dog has been killed, and that was Marcum."

NEGRO ARRESTED FOR MURDER
Isham Tignor Charged With Killing a
 Negro In Georgia.

Isham Tignor, a negro, was arrested last night on South Twentieth street by Policemen Burke and Culpepper on charge of murder in Thomaston, Ga. The negro shot and fatally wounded another negro there several months ago, and the officials of that city have been after him ever since.
 The negro confesses to having done the shooting and says that the other negro was trying to take his money. Tignor was pointed out to the policemen by white man who has been here hunting the negro for some time.
 It seems that the people in the vicin- ity where the shooting occurred believed that Tignor was dead, as he was fol- lowed a considerable distance by a mob when he did the shooting, and it was supposed he had been killed.
 There is a reward of $500 for the deliv- cry of the negro to the Thomaston jail.

 on Warshlps.

Washington August 1.-Rear Admiral Powelrs letter to the secretary of the navy giving his views in opposition to opinions expressed by Rear Admirals Bradford and Melville regarding the plans for the 1S,00O-ton battleships proposed by the board of construction, was made pub lie at the department today.

 It was stated at the navy department today that Secretary Moody, in view of the adverse report on the plans for the 13, O00-ton ships, has decided to call upon inSividual officers of the navy for opinions
 co whether these ships shall have less speed and coal endurance than the 15 0OO- ton ships, or retain those qualities and have less armor and gun power. These opinions will be considered before he makes a final decision.
