Gallant Seaman,

Capt Henry Wilson, commanding the
United States steamship Lackawanna, re-
ports TO the Navy department from Homo
lulu March 20, commencing the gallantry of
Louis Williams, captain of the foretop Of that
ship in rescuing shipmate from drowning.
On the night of March l6 Thomas Moran,
boatswain, attempted to desert by swimming
10 the shore. When $50 yards from the ves-
sci he gave out and cried for help. A boat
was lowered as soon as possible, but in the
meantime Williams had jumped overheard,
and, swimming In the direction of the cries
for help, reached the drowning man in time
TO hold him above water until the boat ar
rived, some minutes afterward, and picked
then up. Capt. Wilson says that but for
Williams's prompt action Moran would have
drowned, for on arriving on board it took
some half hours time to bring him to con-
sciousness. He also commends, in this con-
nection, the conduct Of J. l.. FassouFe and H..
p. Glifbery, seamen, who sprang into the
water and reSched the men about the time
that the boat arrived.

AFTER TIE APACHEs.
Con. Crook Not Allowed to Pursue Them
into Mexico.

Cen. Crook Not Allowed to Pursue Them
into Mexico.
In response to communication from Secre-
tary Frelinghuysen inquiring whether there
will be any objection to our troops following the
Apaches fromArizona over the border, the Mex
lean minister has replied that such action can
not be properly taken without the express con-
sent of the Mexican senate. A telegram was ac-
cordingly sent to Gen. Crook Saturday after
noon by the secretary of war directing him
to be careful TO observe tho convention with
Mexico on this subject and to restrain all
troops under his command from crossing the
boundary line into Mexican territory. The
telegram was addressed to Gen. Crooks de-
partment headquarters at Prescott, with in
structions to forward it to him in the field,
his present whereabouts being unknown at
the department.
Senior Romero, the Mexican minister, said
to an associated press reporter last night that
he had already placed himself in telegraphic
communication with his government with
reference to the representations made to him
by Secretary Frelinghuysen on the subject of
obtaining consent for United States troops to
cross the Mexican border in pursuit of raid
ing Indians. AS telegraphing was, however,
an unsatisfactory method of communication
upon such subjects he proposed, he said, to for
ward an official letter by mail. At present, he
thought il premature to hazard an opinion as
to the view which tho Mexican senate would
take of the matter, but he was certain they
would agree to anything reasonable. He said
he did not believe there would be time to
accomplish anything in relation to this par
ticular case at the present session Of the
senate, which would expire in the latter part
of May, as his official letter would not reach
Mexico for two or three weeks, and 1t would
DO some time after that before the subject
would be laid before the senate officially.

The statement that the first comptroller
had directed suits to be instituted upon tho

was brought to the attention of the commits
sioner of internal revenue Saturday. In
commenting upon this, the commissioner
said that these were all old cases. that since
1876 collectors of internal revenue had dis
charged the duties of their offices with such
fidelity that with collections amounting in
the past seven years to over $S50000,000 not
one cent had been lost by shortage in accounts
or delalcation.
