HAVANA, Aug. pa number of Moder

are making a trip through the eastern
provinces for the purpose of organizing the
party. They are d~evoting their oratory
mostly TO pointing out the evils OF the
American occupation. criticising the Ameri-
can Government and questioning its good
intentions.
All this makes the Americans indignant
because the compaign orators bombastic
statements are made for the sole purpose
Of discrediting the Liberals by creating
discomfort in the minds Of the people with
the present situation, and then saying.
See what the Liberals have brought To
poor Cuba" They are not mentioning
the fact that il was the Moderates them
selves who demanded Intervention a year
ago.
The political situation is more confused
than ever. Inc Conservatives are showing
new activity. while the breach in the Liberal
party has widened to such an extent as to
make two distinct parties. If the Conserva =
tives can perfect an organization il il con

The troubles OF the Gravatts are said to
rave begun several months ago. As they
progressed seemingly with no chanoe OF a
reconciliation, Mrs. Gravatt sought to force
her husband into an agreement to separate.
This he refused to do and for some time
he nae appeared to DO worrying much about
the affair.
Gravatt went this afternoon to the Becu-
laire, = little boarding house which his wife
conducted in Ocean Grove. He asked her
to go with him into another room. She
refused to do 30. Thereupon, with no
word Of warning, Gravatt drew a revolver
from his hip pocket and began firing. .
Mrs. Gravatt tried to fee, but her hus-
band pursued her, firing rapidly. One bull
let entered her hip. The other two pene-
trated her leg. The daughter shouted to
her father not TO hurt her mother and ran
forward to protect her. A bullet entered
her leg.
Gravstt, without leaving the room, then
placed the muszle Of the revolver so his
mouth and pulled the trigger. He fell
back dead.
A letter found in Gravatt's pocket after
the shooting read: Il will not shoot to kill
her. God bless my children"
