Counsel for Harry Thaw Denies Re
ports Of Espionage.

New York, Mar. 11.-1f the marriage
of Harry K. Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw is nullif1ed it will be because eff.
forts of the husband to prevent II
have been unsuccessful. according to
a statement given out Tuesday by Col.
Franklin Bartlett, counsel for Harry
X. Thaw and Mrs. William Thaw. The
statement declares also that there is
no truth in reports that detectives EN-.
ployed by Mrs. William .Thaw have
had the. younger Mrs. Thaw under sur
Vigilance for months. COL. Bartlett
said that no proceedings have YET
been instituted looking toward a sep
aration, of Harry K Thaw and his
wife. The matter is inchoate," said
Col. Bartlett when asked Of possible
proceedings looking to severance OF
the marital ties There is every dis
position on the part OF my clients to
be absolutely fair and just toward
Evelyn Thaw. and to make liberal
provision for her support. and even
more than that. Harry K. Thaw has
sought reconciliation and has not
desired that his wife should leave him
but she desires a permanent severance
Of the marital relations. Any thought
of espionage upon the young Mrs
Thaw would be abhorrent to Mrs. Will
liam Than, and has not at any time
been entertained by her."

TELLS OF WARSnIP DEFECTS
CAPT. WiNsLoW TEsrIFlEs BE.
FORE NAVAL PROBE.
Declares That the Armor Plate Js Too
Low Upon American Bat
tIeships.

Washington, Mar. 12.-That there
are serious defects in the construction
OF American battleships was charged
Tuesday by Capt. C. MGR. Winslow,
assistant chief of the bureau of navi.
cation of the navy department and
Commander A. L. Key, former naval
aide to President Roosevelt.
The former officer said the ships I'm.
der Admiral Evans were all over
draft when they left Hampton Roads.
He defended Admiral Rojesvensky for
taking the Russian ships into battle
with the Japanese with full bunkers
of coal, saying that the Russian com.
mander could not have done otherwise
for he did not know how far he would
be compelled to steam. Commander
Key attempted to direct the form Of
his own testimony and incurred the
displeasure- Of the committee on that
account. He criticised the armor belt
and the gun decks as being too low
and the ammunition hoists unsafe.
He attempted to dispute the testimony
of other officers, especially Chief Con.
structor Capps, but was mot permitted
to do SO. Finally the committee held
an executive session at which it was
decided that Key should be- heard
Wednesday, but that his criticism
should be. confined to ships and not
directed against officers.
.. The witness was asked to compare
certain types Of American ships with
the contemporary class of British
ships. He took the Connecticut and
the Lord Nelson and in gunnery said
the British ship has made better rec.
ords for rapid shooting with her bat.
terry of go guns than had been made
with the Connecticut eight-inch guns.
He thought this achievement was due
probably to the hoists.

GREAT BRITAIN TAKES HAND
CENTER OF INTEREST IN TATSU
MARU AFFAIR SHIFTS.
England Wants to Know What Steps
Japan Proposes to Take-Report
Denied at London.

Tokyo, Mar. 11.-According to a
we'll authenticated report the center
of interest in the Tatsu Maru affair
has been removed to London. When
the British government was informed
of Japan's announcement that in the
event of refusal by China to enter
tain her demands Japan pro-
posed to take independent action"
the British foreign Office asked Count
Nomura, the Japanese ambassador in
London, what steps Japan proposed
to take, calling his attention to the
clause in the treaty with Great Britain
covering the question of war between
Japan and any other nation, Great
Britain's interest therein being under
stood here. Ambassador Komura be-
ing unable to give a definite answer,
asked the foreign office in Tokyo for
information which found the attitude
Of the British government an unex-
pected phase in the situation. 1t is
stated here that the British govern
ment is advising arbitration of the
question Of the restoration Of. the
arms seized, and has pointed out the
advisability of Japan admitting the
moral side Of the question, while
doubtless technically correct This
new turn of events has created a
deadlock here. and the foreign office
is now awaiting advices from Ambas-
sador komura
London, Mar. 1.-THE report COM
ing from Tokyo that the British gov
eminent has asked japan through her
ambassador here. Count Komura,
what steps she proposes taking in the
Tatsu Maru case, and that Great
Britain has advised arbitration, was
denied Tuesday. The British foreign
Office said 1t had taken no action
whatever in the matter. An official
Of the foreign Office pointed out that
Great Britain could not interfere in
this matter, the incident not having
reached the stage at which Japan,
under article one of the Anglo-Japan-
csc treaty, must communicate with
her ally.

his intention TO kill King Haakon
He still had 40 or SO cartridges in his
pockets.
King Haakon and Queen Maud were
not in the castle at the time of the
shooting, having recently moved to
the royal residence at Voxenkollern.
None of the palace officials or serv-
ants was injured.
The name of the Swede is Johannes
Gren. He has lived here for several
years and followed the trade of a
blacksmith. His grievance appears
to be that King Haakon received too
large salary from the public funds,
and to the police he declared that
the king had no right to be in this
country. It is said that Gren spent
several years in an asylum in Den.

STARTS TO PROVE ALA SANE,

Speaks Of society's Formation.
The ambassador at the beginning
spoke Of the formation Of the society
which he had the honor to address,
and said 1t showed how friendly and
sympathetic the citizens Of New York
had been towards Japan in the midst
OF all sorts of unfavorable specula.
ton spread out among a certain sec.
tion of this great people.
Ambassador Praises Mikado.
Touching then upon the question Of
Japan and Japanese affairs, Mr.. Taxa.
hira said the emperor is the same per.
son-large-minded and far-sighted, al.
ways eager for the happiness and
prosperity Of his subjects, and at the
same time equally sincere in his de.
sire for the we'll being and good care
of all other peoples. Japans enlarged
sphere of influence by no means, the
ambassador said, necessitated any
change in the general policy of the
empire. Japan's aim and purpose as
a nation are always the same. In
discussing this feature of his talk
the ambassador recalled a speech he
had made at Philadelphia five years
ago on the position Of Japan in the
far east, and in this connection said:
Il remember I said then, among
other things, that "the sincere desire
of the Japanese government and peo-
pie was to, have all neighboring coun-
tries realize that mutual interests can
best be promoted by the maintenance
of peace, the promotion of commerce
and industry and the Strengthening OF
the ties of interdependence."
