viii Be Prepared.

Washington, Sept. 21.--Preparation
is the watch word of the army regard
ing Cuba. Not only have complete
plans been prepared but every depart
ment has made arrangements to meet
the emergency of Intervention If 1t
should occur. General Crozier, chief
of the bureau Of ordnance is now at
the Rock Island arsenal in Illinois
and few days ago he visited the
Frankford arsenal at Philadelphia.
AS result, considerable activity
has been displayed In getting ammu-
milton and light guns ready for move-
ment In case orders for such action
are issued. The ordnance bureau has
on hand supply to equip a small
army but not enough for large
army, and 1t Is supposed that Gem
'eral Crozier's visit Is with a view to
supplying the deficiency
1t is stated In other bureaus of the
department that the plans for pos
sfble movement have been progressing
for some time and that any n0Aessity
can be promptly met.

Pittsburg detective. who has been re-
tanned In connection with the defense.

sent for, to confer with Thaw regard
ing alleged differences between Thaw
and Clifford w. Hartridge, his chief
counsel relative to the line of defense
TO be adopted at Thaws trial. O'Mara
Is generally accorded with having
great influence over Thaw by reason of
his long acquaintance with the Thaw
family. After O'Mara left the priso-
ner Hartridge had conference with
Thaw. Later the attorney was asked
~ there mas been disagreement be-
tween Thaw and himself.
Not so far as I know" he replied.
Mr.. Hartridge also stated that re-
ports published that Thaw refused to
be examined by three alienists were
far from the truth. He said that two
of the doctors had visited Thaw be-
fore in the Ton1bs. Thaw told the
keepers at the Tombs today that the
reason he did not see the doctors yes
terday was because he had an APP
pointment with the Rev Father VIM
Dlazowslxi, of Fall River. Mass. The
clergyman did not call yesterday. how
ever, but saw Thaw today. Mr.. Hart
ridge said the clergyman was a friend
of Thaw but would make no statement
as to the connection, If any, the priest
had with the case.
