T ie girl's basbfulness was of stieh a remarknble nature that she refused to marry at the last moment. Fait was crazed with disappointment. He brooded for a few days, and on July 5 took morphine and

died. He left a number of strange letters to his frieuds, one of which contained a diagram of the grave in which he wished to be buried. Mrs. Havens was heartbroken at the affair. She had favord young Fait in his suit for the hand of her daughter, and had done all in her' power to persuade the girl to abandon her decision to reject him.

Two Floatlnz Docks to Be Bought Civil Engineer Endieott, chief of tbe yards and docks bureau at Washington, has been directed by the Secretary of the Navy to begin negotiations for the purchase of two large floating dry docks, capable of handling the largest unprotected cruisers of the navy and the small gunboat class of vessels. There arc a number of such' docks which have been offered for sale, but only two, so far, have been found that meet the requirements of the service, and if they can be secured for reasonable terms purchases will be made, and the basins shinned south to J ampa

and Key West, wnere some of the ships

now with the blockading fleet may use them for mueh-needed attention to their bottoms. The floating dock has never been used in the navy, although one was built years ago at the cost of IfTiOO.OOO, and now lies at Key West useless and

gradually going to pieces. The necessity of small docks on the gulf has been recognized by the navy for years, but the

uuncuiry in securing dosirauie sues uas prevented a simrie one being located

there. The new docks will have, one a

capacity of 3.0C0 tons, which will enable it to tt ke in shins as laree as the Raleigh

and Cincinnati class, and the other will

accommodate not over 2,000-ton snips. They are of steel, new, and well built, and are to be sent South as soon as the purchase price ts agreed upon. One of the finest floating docks in tho wnrid will fall into the hands of this Government when Havana is cantured. This dock was btliU

last year, and reached Havana late in the

winter, just before the Maim; affair. It is so large that the bsaviest cruisers may be taken in with case.

On the night of the trouble, when the non-union men came out of the mines they were niet by a large crowd of uuion men. There were words and in u few minutes the riot had begun. Ivjiivos raid clubs were freely used, while several on both sides drew revolvers aqd fired Indiscriminately, hut, strange to siny. no one was struck. Boh Baker, a mpon man, and James Gorr, a non-union loan, were slashed about the face mid bod.v, mid their condition is critical. Not a nmn on either side escaped

Hed Men Going to Mex'co. It is definitely learned at Wichita, Kan., that the full-blood Indians of the five civilized tribes are preparing to leave the Indian territory and go to Mexico.

This talk was started last year and went so far that the different members of the five tribes that comprise the Chero-

kecs, Choctaws, Cbicknsaws, Creeks mid Seminoles, united and sent delegates to the City of Mexico and into the State of Chihuahua to investigate the feasibility

of buying land there. The movement of the Indians was fnvored by President Diaz, and land companies made satisfactory prices to them. The Indians returned to their tribesmen mid reported. Secret meetings were held and it wus finally agreed in event the Curtis bill allotting their lands was passed that the Indians would move to Mexico. Just prior to ad

journment Congress passed this measure

and the Indian delegates at Washington returned home to counsel again with their tribesmen. More secret meetings wen; held and a final conclusion was arrive, 1

at to dispose of their Indian territory

homes at any price and go to Mexico. 1 he Indians are worth nliout $600 per capita

and own, when the laud is divided, about

1(10 acres each. There are about So.lKW full bloods who would emigrate. They propose to go overland, some of them on bicycles.

Whei. it became kimwu throughout the city tint Spain bad formally sued for p.'iice there w as more exciteim-nt in diplomatic a ad administration circles in Washington than there bus been at any time since the news came that Santiago had surrendered to the American forces. The indi -utions from Madrid are that Spain will try to negotiate peace on the basis of the independence of Cuba. That proposi-ion will be met with the demand that Spain shall withdraw from the Western hemisphere, where her government of colonics ha been so ruinous and cruel as to engender strife and anarchy. She must withdraw from both Cuba and Porto Hico. As to the Philippine--., the administration it not ready to declare its iolicy or formulate its demand. That will depend largely upon the s t nation at Manila after the surrender, and ou public opinion in this country.

There will be no armistice pending any negotiations that may lie entered iiihiii. The campaign iu Porto Itico will be flushed with ti e sane vigor. Cen. Miles is in Porto Kico, and the American flag has been unfurled there. That campaign will continue. The war there will be waged until Spain surrenders the island aud withdraws her army.
