He had received official communication
that fighting would soon occur in the Lol
Rios Province, so he asked for safe con
duct for the Secretary Of the Italian Con
sulate to proceed there and warn foreigners
that their lives and property might be i'm
perilled. This suggestion was considered
an insult, and Mr.. Destruge was informed
that he was considered an enemy OF the
Government, and that consequently the
Supreme Chief had had the exeQuatur oil

Destruge then appealed to the Captain Of
the Italian man.oi-war Caracciolo, which
was at anchor In the river at the time, who
at once informed the Government that
he considered himself bound to as.
sumo the responsibility OF representing
his country. This communication resulted
In Captain Amezsga being informed that
when he presented his credentials he would
be recognized as consul. Captain Amezaga
was temporarily satisfied with this answer,
but a few days afterwafd he learned that
an Italian subject named Antonio Arrata,
had been seized for having purchased some
cartridges from soldier, carried to one Of
the barracks, and their tortured in order TO
compel him to confess. Captain Amezaga

the Democratic party. At this hour, 1880,
the convention has just adjourned and 1t is
difficult to say which is best pleased, the
nominee, the party, or the prodieal. An
eye at all practiced in this kind OF observa'
ton could see from the beginning that Sny.

a hundred to defeat him. He had the orga-
nization, and the best managers of the Dis
trict on his side. Kenna was standing of,

CHARLESTON, W. Va, March 2S.-It was
II o'clock before the Opera House filled up,
and John N. Rowan, OF Monroe, called the
convention to order. It took an hour to
convince the delegates that patriotism must
give way for dinner, after which the work
began. E. Willis Wilson was made perna.
nent chairman, aud George Byrne, tf the
Erening Call, Secretary. Mr.. Wilson warm
ed the Democratic heart when he urged
such action as would put an end 10 Repub'
licau hope this time. Last years platform
was substantially readopted, arraigning the
Republican party in the old fashioned way.
AT this point there were whoops. A pretty
compliment to the Greenbackers was better
understood later on.
A Chesapeake & Ohio train bringing
delegates from the east had encountered a
wreck, and Mathews friends wanted to
hold back the nominations. The Snyder
men were not unwilling, and after show
OF resistance the Convention agreed To
wait.
THE GOVERNOR SHAKES IIlSooRY LOCKS.
There being nothing else to do they
talked. Loud cries were made for kenna
the drum sounded the loudest-and the
young Senator permitted himself to be
dragged to the front, only to do the graceful
thing for the Governor, whom he took by
his broad, good natured shoulders and
pushed into position. Governor Jackson
made the speech which has stirred the De
mocracy OF West Virginia from many q
stump-a straightforward manly Bourbon
speech that awoke memories OF the Lost
Cause He branded the Republican party
as public enemy, and referred to that
period Of Democratic bondage before the
"Let up policy" made it pleasant for
patriots who wore the gray. The applause
showed that his Bourbon Excellency had
struck the bulls eye.
