MYSTERY SURROUNDS AFFAIR.
Supposed Suicide Of OFFICER of the
Battieship Maine.

0aAktGoulP MdtH0s
Pensacola, Fla, April 4-Complete
mystery surrounds the suicide Of Lieu.
tenant Commander Edgar Townsend
Warburton, chief engineer of the bat.
tleship Maine.
No cause whatever can be found as
to why the officer should take his life
and the only theory is that he was
either mentally deranged by worry
over the machinery of the Maine, or
else the act was not Intentional
The body was shipped to Philadel.
phia for interment This was done
upon request of Mrs. Warburton. wife
or the deceased. From the docks,
where the funeral party landed, to the
train the body was escorted by ma.
rines and bluejackets, together with
officers Of the Maine. The engineer.
Ing force acted as pallbearers. Per.
sonal friends among the officers OF
the feet were honorary pallbearers.
Little credence is given here in the
report that unpleasantness exists be-
tween the engineering forces and the
other commissioned officers of the
ship. Commander Warburton was on
most pleasant terms with all officers
on the vessel.
A court of inquiry has been conven.
ed from among the officers of the fleet
to make a thorough examination into
the cause of the death.
No letters or messages were left by
the deceased nor did he intimate to
any of his personal friends that he in
tended committing the act.

Shanghai, April A letter receiv.
ed here from Kobe, Japan, says the
Japanese government has 260, 900
troops in motion and fully $4,000 more

of the third reserves, numbering t20,-

The exact number of troops which
have left Japan for their various desti,
nations is not known, but the entire
First army has been landed and has
established itself in northwestern Ko.
rea, with It's main base at Chinampho.
The Japanese general staff will care
fully guard the plan of campaign,
but it is generally believed 1t will
operate three armies, each nominally
numbering 100000 men, the second
army landing west of the Yalu river,
and the third army east of New
Chwang. The landings of the latter
two armies will be easily accomplish.
ed, for the light cruiser squadronss
can protect both movements. It Is
thought that the landing Of q heavy
Japanese force west of the mouth of
Inc Yalu will force the Russians to
abandon the Notifications which they
have been erecting north of the Yalu
for the purpos of opposing the cross
ing of the first army of japan from
Korea.
1t is also anticipated that the three
Japanese forces will operate in con.
junction, the third army, swinging
eastward of New Chwang, seizing or
cutting the railroad and then engag
ing in turning movement against the
main Russian position
The Japanese are tennfdent that
the Russians will be unable to trans.
port supplies sufficient to maintain in
Manchuria force larger than 100000
men. The heavy detachments neces.
sary to guard the railroad and supply
bases. it is claimed, reduce the Rus.
sian fighting force to about 10000 ;
men.
The Japanese are requistition
ing thousands of horses, and 1t is prob
able that a considerable detachment
of cavalry will accompany each army. /
