WORK AT NAVY YARD.
The Washington navy yard where a
large establishment is maintained by

of gnns and ordnance material is

DAY'S VIEWS.
After a conference with the presi
dent today Judge Day acting secre
tary of state said, "we have no
news either from Madrid or
Havana. The situation may be
said to look better. There is more
quiet this morning. Our war prepara
tions are being pushed, however.

A Remarkable Amateur.
The local billiard players are all
enthusiastic today over an exhibition
of the game given at the M. and M. A.
club rooms by L. L. Magnus last night.
Mr. Magnus is not a professional at
all but is a traveling man, represent
ing a combination table company. A
gentleman who has seen Ives, Shcaeffer
and all the notables, declares that
none of them could touch Mr. Magnus.
He was pitted last night against one
of the local players who is considered
a fairly good player and yet Mr. Mag
nus made 73 points while the local
player made 3.
Several gentlemen made the attempt
but could not so place the balls on
the table that Mr. Magnus could not
make his points. Among his feats
was to make his ball jump over the
counter wire and hit another; to make
his points on the table and then have
the ball leave the table and hit two
more in the corner of the room.
One member of the club went up to
see Mr. Magnus make a few shots be
fore keeping an urgent engagement,
but became so absorbed that he forgot
the engagement and stayed all aven-
ing.
He Flew but Lit Again.
This morning as Sheriff Monroe, of
Rowan county, was passing through
the city en route to Raleigh with three
recruits for the penitentiary, he spied
an escaped convict from the Rowan
chain gang standing in the door of
the men's waiting room. About tne
same instant the negro, whose name is
Hilander Harris, spied the sheriff. A
look was enough. The negro flew. Ihe
sheriff notified the police and before
noon Mr. Pearce nabbed the bird and
he will be turned over to Sheriff Mon
roe as i he returns from Raleigh to
night. Boy Catches a Hawk.
On Wednesday evening last, a hawk
flew down into the yard of Mr. Benj.

SHOT IN THE SIDE.
As a Result of a Free Fight on Cot
ton Factory Row.
In one of the negro houses on what
is known as the cotton factory row,
there wa? a promiscuous fight last
night. A strange coon by the name of
Jim Copeland, from Burke county, was
being crowded by two or three negroes
when he drew his revolver and open
ed fire, striking Sam Gorrell in the
right side. The ball passed through
the liver and lodged. He was attend
ed by -Dr. Dellinger, who dressed the
wound and Dr. Turner was afterward
called also.
One report of the affair 'said that
one of the negroes crowding on Cope
land had a knife in his hand. The
Gorrell negroes are a bad loW one of
them having been shot in a barroom
brawl before.
The revolver used was a 38-calibre
and the wound is a dangerous one,
though Gorrell may recover.
Copeland made his escape and had
not been caught up to noon today.
Some Valuable Papers.
Dr. Peacock yesterday added some
valuable papers to his magnificent col
lection of North Caroliniana at
Greensboro Female College, already
the finest collection of the kind in ex
istence. These additions are volumes
of the Wilmington Journal for 1862,
'63 and '64. It was during this time
that the terrible yellow fever epidemic
raged there and oftenlhe daily papers
would not be issued more than once or
twice a week. In addition' to this the
papers are of course valuable for the
war news they contain. All papers
published in the south during and
previous to the war are in great de
mand because, for the most part, they
have been destroyed. Northern deal
ers eagerly buy everything bearing a
southern imprint of that period.

by the evidence furnished by Senator
Butler's witnesses. On the other hand
it is said a clear case has been made
out against Ewart. The judiciary

NO COMPLAINT OF LEE,
Spain Issues a Semi-Officlal Note
To That Effect.
JINGOES TRYING TO FORCE WAR,
Declares That It Is Essential That The
Two Countries Should Reach -An
Understanding.
By Cable The Telegram.
Madrid, March 8 A semi-official
note just issued by the government
declares that it has not received any
complaint regarding the attitude 'of
Lee. On the contrary Blanco affirms
that Lee's behavior has always been
correct. Nevertheless the incident
serves to explain the origin of the ill
will between the two countries. This
is proved by statements attributed to
Secretary Sherman by which the jin
goes have created a belief in the
United States that Spain is trying to
provoke a war, while at the same time
engendering a feeling in Spain that the
United States demands open hostilities.
It is essential that this double game
should be ended to prevent the coun
tries from going to war without either
desiring it and without motives for it.-
