LATER


WASHINGTON, May 15.-A3ter a weeks
waiting, some tangible news was to-
day received at the navy department
from the Charleston. First came a
dispatch from Acapulco, stating that
the Chillian insurgent cruiser Esmeral-
da had put out of Acapulco harbor yes
terday and had returned to the port
to-day. Later on, through the state
department, a dispatch came saying
that the Charleston had arrived at Aca-
pulco; that the Esmeralda was still in
port, but giving no news of the Itata
What the next step is to be no one of
tell. The Charleston is to take on coal,
as her supply has probably nearly
run out during the weeks chase.
Whether the Esmeralda is to have the
privilege Of taking coal aboard cannot
be learned here, as it is matter en-
tirely within the control of the Mexi-
can government; but the presumption
at the department is against it, as the
neutrality laws would be strained by
the Mexican government if it allowed
anything beyond water and food sup
plies to be furnished a belligerent. The
theory at the navy department is that
the Charleston, whose commander,
Capt. Remey, has orders admitting
large discretionary movements, will
now lie at or near Acapulco for time,
trusting that the Itata, which is slow
seven-knot ship, has not yet passed
down the coast, and will try to coal in
that neighborhood. If she is sighted
the Charleston will doubtless try to
seize her. She cannot do this in Mexi-
can waters, so that it would be neces-
sary to head her off outside the three
mile line, or if unsuccessful in that, to
follow her to sea when she goes out.
FIRE at Muskegon, Mich, on the
night of the 10Th, destroyed $75O,000

AN interesting incident in connection
with President Harrison's visit to At
lanta was his meeting with Mr. George
Cook, an elderly gentleman and a we'll
known piano manufacturer of Boston.

a few days with Gov. Bullock, and on
invitation of Mayor Hemphill went up
the road to meet the president. The
meeting of the two gray-haired grand
sons was very cordial, and they en-
joyed pleasant chat.

WHY FAVA WAS RECALLED.
The New Orleans Lynching Discussed in
the Italian Chamber.

The New Orleans Lynching Discussed in
the italian Chamber.
RoME, May i5.-The Marquis di
Rudini in the chamber of deputies
Thursday discussed the New Orleans
affair, and said it was simply a
legal question. The departure of Baron
Fava from Washington, he continued,
had been ordered as protest against
the action of the United States in re-
jecting responsibility for the affair.
European sympathy, the premier
added, was with Italy, and he hoped
for friendly solution Of the question
involved.
Sig. Puintieri, after acknowledging
what he termed the strict legality of
Premier di Rudini's action in the dis
pute with the United States and the
moderate character of his demands,
asked whether, in view of the verdict
of the New Orleans grand jury, it
would not be more dignified to renounce
the matter and leave the responsibility
for the lynchings on those tolerating
them.
Sig. Cavelletto expressed his regret at
tie rupture in the relations between
the United States and Italy. He
thought that little should be said about
the affair as it was a very delicate mat
ter. He begged Premier di Rudini to use
every endeavor to bring about settle
ment of the dispute, which he said
o,ght not to be allowed to linger.
Premir di Rudini said exaggerated i'm
>r&or {o no f0
the New Orleans affair, nor a ques-
ton essentially judicial converted into
one of national dignity. The recall of
Baron Fava was a protest against
the conduct of the United States
government in declaring itself ire
sponsible in the matter. The ques-
ton seemed to be entering a
new phase. Judicial proceedings had
been commenced against the lynchers, -
continued the premier, 'but l cannot
s:ty to what extent the proceedings are
serious Nevertheless l am certain
that Europe approves our action. Our
consul at New Orleans has been re-
called partly because the government
wishes to obtain the fullest informa-
ton in regard to the matter, and partly
because we fear that some of the COM
munications which the consul pub.
lished or permitted to be published
were inopportune."
Replying to question relating to the
New Orleans grand jury and Sig.
Corte, the Italian consul at New. Or
leans, Premier di Rudini added that he
had learned through the newspapers OF
the incident regarding the consul If
the news were true the matter would
of itself suffice to prove the necessity OF
the recall of Consul Corte. The dis.
cussion was then adjourned.

A Victory for Prohibition.

DEs MONIES, Ia, May 15.-The pro-
hibitionists of Iowa are greatly elated
by an important decision rendered by
Judge Shiras in the federal court
Wednesday. An attempt has been
made to block proceedings under
the late prohibitory.> law by
having the same transferred to
the federal courts. Judge Shiras, in a
case from Oskaloosa, ruled that unless
new questions were involved the United
States courts would not interfere with
state laws, for which the state courts
were ample. 1t is considered an i'm
portant prohibitory victory.
