CoLoMB1A's SCARE.
Inquiries made IN official circles to-day regarding
the allegation that certain American ships of war
were engaged in making soundings and surveys in
the vicinity Of the Lagoon of Chiriqui, eicited
plies to the effect that no American vessels have
been ordered to make surveys In that locality, but
charts Of the waters adjacent therein arc now and
have been In possession of the government for some
years past and that instructions have been given
to American vessels to do anything in the locally
mentioned which would be dstasteful to the Panama
government. The statement Of ono official on tho
subject was that the presence OF men-ofwsr IN the
vicinity of Chriqu naturally excited suspicion just
at this time owing to the much talked Of isthmus
canal project. He intimated that there was no cause
for any feeling on the part Of the nations.

San Francisco Chinatown.

Advices from San Francisco, to March
&c, state that the third days notice of the CON-
demnation Of Chinatown expired to. day but
the board of health has yet taken no action
with regard to Chinatown as far as can be
learned. The board has no other power than
to cause enforcement of the existing laws re
garding nuisance and overcrowding. The
laws and ordinances relating to the former
bear more heavily upon the property owner
than upon the occupants Of the buildings,
and were they enforced strictly Caucasian
property owners of Chinatown would suffer
more than the MoDgolian tenants of the con-
demned buildings. 1t is hardly possible, it is
stated, to make many arrests, on account of
violations of the law, as there is no place in
which prisoners can be kept, as the .jails arc
filled to overflowinG already. This fact has
been brought to the notice Of the board of
supervisors and the board OF police commits
sioncrs, but as yet no action has been taken to-
wards providing quarters for the detention
prisoners, who would be arrested in scores
should the cubic acre ordinance and other
laws be enforced.

A young man called on his intended,

appearance he struck up . conversation
with his intended brother-in-law. After
while the boy asked:

amused young man.
And then silence reigned for . few
moments when the boy resumed his con-
versation.

The Destruction OF Pompeii.

In 174S the spade of Spanish engi-
neer first struck upon the buried ruins
ct the city. The city was buried at .
depth OF from twenty-three to twenty
SIX feet in ashes and volcanic mud.
The lower half of the deposit con-
sisted of dry ashes and small
stones or scorip. Then comes
about ten feet of volcanic mud.
This was caused by the heavy vapor of
steam in the atmosphere, which con-
verted the showers Of ashes as they
fell into plastic mass. Above this
mud are the scorim and ashes of later
eruptions, and the soil which has &C.
cumulated upon the surface.
Nothing, or very little, was burnedin
Pompeii. The heat was not sufficient
to change the colors of the frescoes on
the walls, and the woodwork was car
bonised by its long intombment in
such soil. Discoveries defend the
city against the charge 30 commonly
made that it was an immoral and
vicious city. It was q city of art and
culture, and was inhabited by men of
wealth and rare taste. II our modern
cities were to be blotted out as Pom
peii was blotted out, the future discov-
erer would find beneath their ruins
evidences of vice and icentiousness to
which Pompcii can give but little COM
parison. ::

Sittiug Bulls Indians.

Secretary Ramsey says in regard to the
proposed surrender of Sitting Bulls Indians,
that the only way the war department can re-
ceive them is as prisoners of war, in which
could be made by the government for their
maintenance. Gen. Sherman maintains that
the Indians are British subjects, and that the
United States has nothing to do with them.

sHcRETARY EvKRTs DECLAREs IN THEIR FAVOR.
WARRINGTON, March 29.-8ecreta-y Ever.s, In . re-
port to tho President the Venezuela claims which
the latter transmitted to Congress to-day, says:
have come to the conclusion that no obligation of
Justice to Venezuela requires from the govern
IN sbrogson of these awards and the institution of
new mixed comm1ssion for re-examination Of the
claims upon which such awards have been made.
On the other hand necessary attention to the rights
OF our own citizens in whose behalf only, after loo
years Of fruitess application to venezuela, 70
able to conclude . convention for the adjudication
OF their claims, precludes the remission of their
demands to tho uncertain composition and
precarious administration of new
commission. In conclusion the secretary says.
that II the department should proceed to make dis
tribution upon all awards, notwithstanding tho grave
denunoiadon Of Venezuela, and Of tho Congressional
committee Of 1870, upon great number of them, IT.
ahould be done upon . conclusion that th govern
mont should ins 6t upon the payment of Ill tho
awards, and should take coercive measures to COM
pei their recognition and Satisfaction by Vene.uels
as fast at least its financial resources should per
nit The question should be submitted to Congress
for its determination, and II Congress 10 not pre-
pared to undertake coeRcive measures, then the
secretary says thereHeems no other course for the
government to pursue but to institute judicial in
vestigstion by . competent commission, With ade-
quate authority to determine which Of the awards 1t
would decline to further press for payment, and
which of the awards it would insist upon.
