George E. Belknap stated that at the present
rate OF progress the M0nongahela and Mo-

middle of next week The former, which is q
storeship, goes TO the Samoan Islands direct,
not even touching at Honolulu, unless stormy
weather and adverse winds should render

As regards the other ships the commandant
stated the Thetis, il there should be urgent
call for her service, could be put in readiness

quite extensive in their way and il might be
sixty days before she could be made ready for

the large monitor Monadnock, which is lying
at the navy-yard, and fund sufficient for her
completion has been made, but IL would prob

OUTRAGEs IN NEW iberia.
Negroes Whipped and Driven from
Home and Their Houses DESTROYED.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 30.-The Times Demo
crafs New iberia special says: New Iberia has
again assumed its normal condition and scenes
of bloodshed and riot, which have kept the
inhabitants in a fever Of excitement since
Friday night last, have become thing of the
past, with the exception Of street-corner talk
and gossip. While large number of citizens
indorse the Staying of the negro Wakefield.
there are many who express the opinion that
as he was in the custody of the authorities the
law should have been allowed to take its course
As to the action of the regulators in whipping
some negroes, shooting at others. banishing
many and destroying their homes. the best
element of citizens condemn it. There were
but
THREE NEGROES WHIPPED
and the whipping took place ON Sunday. The
regulators were organizedin the town and we're
reinforced by large number of men from the
surrounding country. They first seized a
negro twenty-four years OF age named Joe
yelos, alias James Modes. and conveyed him to
the railroad track and there whipped him un-
mercifully.
Their next victim was an old negro aged
seventy. He was treated in the same brutal
manner. The name of the third negro whipped
could not be ascertained. When the three had
been well fogged they were ordered to leave
the parish, which they did.
No REASONS GIVEN FOR THE oUrRAGEs.
Not single man in New Iberia. either officer
or citizen, could give any reason for these
gross cruelties. One man said the victims were
thought to be agitators. The next two negroes
that the white caps gave their attention to were
eN-Justice of the Peace McGaffey and his son.
They ordered them to leave town, and as the
negroes took their departure the regulators
opened fire upon them with guns and pistols,
but they luckily escaped without injury After
the negroes ordered 10 leave had taken their
departure the mob proceeded to demolish
several of their homes and places of business.
Although large number of those who partici-
pated in the attack upon the negroes are
known no arrests have been made. nor has
there been any investigation of the affair

ssTHE BISMARCK DYNASTY
A Bitter Attack Thought to be Inspired
by the Empress Frederick.

Special Cable Dispatch to The EvES1SG STAR
LONDON. Jan. 30.--An article called sThe
Bismarck Dynasty" in the Contemporary Re
cteec, consisting of bitter attack on Bis
marck and his son, will attract widespread at
tention. There is internal evidence that il is
written by somebody possessed of official Sc
crets. Unlike other Contemporary articles,
this is unsigned. 1t is rumored it was in
spired by the Empress Frederick. What gives
plausibility TO this is that the article harps
upon Bismarck's contempt for women 1t COM
plains that the reason why Bismarck disliked
the accession of Frederick was that Frederick
had high opinion of the talents of his wife.
