LONDON'S BIG WAR SCARE
THE EXCITEAEN BASED ON AN
ERRONEOUS CABLEGRAM.

The Philadelphia Correspondent OF the
London Times Represented the Fleet
in Bering Sea as Rapidly Approach
ing a War Footing-The Figures
Quoted Inexcusably Wide of the
Truth
WASHINGTON, Jan. e0.-Seeretary Blaine
was asked by a representative Of the Asso-
ciated Press to-day II the state department.
had learned what was the cause of the "war''
excitement a fortnight since in London. He
replied that he had just received COPY OF
the London Times Of Jan. 8, in which be-
found dispatch from its regular American
correspondent dated philadelphia, Jan. 5,
as follows; "Naval orders recently issued
indicate the gathering of a formidabls
American fleet in the Pacific waters before
the Bering sea fishing season opens Eleven
warships and five revenue cutters are now.
or will soon, be there, having ninety
guns and 2,625 men. Seven
other steamers, IL is rumored, will
also be chartered for revenue duty, thereby
increasing the feet TO twenty three ships.
with 1l6 guns and 5000 men, including two
OF the fastest and most powerful of the new
cruisers, the San Francisco and Charleston.
All these can arrive at Port Townsend by
May. Six are at San Francisco, and nine
others In the Pacific"
THE REPORT UNFouNDED.
Secretary Blaine said that on hearing OF
this unfounded and mischievous telegram
he had sent TO the navy department. and
had been informed by Secretary Tracy that
there has been this winter smaller naval
force on the Pacific than at any other time
for the last ten years Instead Of a large
force, with 116 guns and 5000 men, as
the Times correspondent states, the
whole number of ships Is five, guns
thirty-one, and the number OF men S56. The
force is not so great as IL was in Jannary,
| 1890, and the force then was much smaller
than it was in january, 1889. Secretary
Blaine added that he thought the corre-
spondent Of the Times owed an explanation
to the American people. lt is stated at the
navy department that any one making In
quiry could have received definite aud
accurate information, and that there was,
| therefore, no excuse whatever for trans
| mitting erroneous statements 30 Europe.
THE CORRESPONDENTS EXPLANATION.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 20.-Joel Cook,
financial editor of the Ledger and corre-
spondent Of the London Times, says his
dispatch, to which Secretary Blaine refers,
was a brief summnrigation Of a long dis
patch that appeared in the New York Times
of the date Of Jan. 5 from Annapolis, Md,
giving in detail the names Of the vessels to
be concentrated In Bering sea and the NUM-
ber OF guus and men they would carry.

PABNELL's LEADERSHIP.
The Express Says he May Becoms q
Fenisn and separatist.

Fenisn ana o SeparatlSt
DUBLIN, Jan. 2O.-Ths Express to-day
says that judging from Mr.. Parnell's bluster
and defiance he intends to continue as leader
Of the Irish party even II has to become a
fenIan. The Espress is also Of the opinion
that Mr.. Parnell has dropped constitutional
agitation and has become a pure separatist
The FveemdRs Journal to-day remarks
that 1t was said that the cities only were
Parnellite in their sympathies, but IL now
appears that the towns are also IN sympa-
thy with Mr. Parnell. The Journal adds
that Mr. Parnells spesch at Athlone yester-
day was delivered in the true spirit Of indie
pendenoe and nationality.
RIoToUs SCENE.
Timothy D. Healy delivered lecture
yesterday evening at Mullingar, and a riot
GUS scene was the result A strong force
of sympathizers with Mr.. Parneu gathered
outside the hall during the course Of the
lecture, and threats OF violence toward
Mr.. Healy were freely uttered. When the
latter emerged from the hall he was
greeted with a storm of boots and
yells, and a rush was made by the Parnell-
ties in bis direction. Luckily, a number OF
priests who had been present at the meet
ing interposed themselves between Mr.
Healy and the infuriated mob, and this
probably saved him from rough handling.
Parnell has published In the PreeBtan's
Journal the usual summons to the Irish
members of parliament asking the them to
attend the reopening of parliament.
From official sources 10 is learned that 900
tenants in Kilkenny who adopted the "plan
of campaign have paid their rents since
the split in the Irish party, and that 80 per
cent. OF the tenants are now anxious TO
come to terms with the landlords.

A Thaw In England.

LONDON, Jan. GA general thaw has
set in throughout England and is a great
relief to those who have been heavy suf-
ferers on account Of tho recent extraordin-
arily severe weather which has prevailed in
Europe. Unhappily the effects of the thaw
for some time to come, at least seem likely
to be as disastrous to many people as the
cold weather they complained Of.
Thanks to the thaw, which now appears
TO have come to stay, thousands OF unem-
ployed people are resuming work, which
was interrupted by the cold weather.

Sound to clear out the oyster dredgers. She

but this is complete setback. Most Of the
citizens are very indignant. Several Of the
oyster boats which have been at work have

never cultivates the cornfield after

injury and impairs the reputation

THE MASON FAMILY aRoUBLEs.

A Noted Case Revived in a BROOKLYN
Court.
NEW YORK, May 5.-The Mason
family troubles. were brought into
promince again in the Brooklyn Citv-
Court upon motion to vacate an or.
der for the examination of Mrs. En-
ma J. Mason, who is sued by Rudolph
Orrigini for $4,000 for Libel Mrs.
Mason, who lives at Flatbush, is the,
wife of DR.. Summer Mason, of this
city. The alleged libel was contained
in letter from her to Thomas F..
Bayard, written when he was Sec1e-
tary of State, during President Cleve-
lands administration. Orrlglni made
himself agreeable to American tour
lists in 1887 while he was Secretary of
the United States consulate at Genoa.
Italy. Mrs. Mason. who first saw him
in 1885, accused Orrigini in 1887 of
having told her husband that she
had designs on his life and was init
mate with a young Italian. It is al
legged that she reported these charges
in letter written by her to Secretary
Bayard, and that Orrigini was dis.
missed from the consulate on that ac-
count.
Mrs. Mason, in her answer to the
complaint, states that Orrigini won
her confidence when she was i'm
Europe, and that most of her letter
from this country were sent to his
care. When her mother died and left
her fortune, Orrigini sent her a re-
quest for a loan. She returned to
Genoa In 1856, with her husband an
invalid. to whom she introduood
Orrfgini. He intimated to her hus-
band, she alleges, that she had de-
signs against his life, and sent one of
her letters to DIR. Mason. When she
called for the return of all her
papers from Orrigini he sent her
seven postal cards, in each of which
he alleged that her husbands name
was Effendo, and that he was dead.
He also stated that he had introduced
the Doctor as her second husband.
He made othes false statements re-
fiecting upon her. Hence, in Justice
to her daughter and to herself, Mrs.
Mason says she thought it her duty
to make known the facts to the Sec
rotary of State. She pleaded the
statute of Limitation, and claimed
that she acted in good faith. DIR. Ma
son, while in Europe, was incarcerated
in an insane asylum. He accused his
wife of having placed him there.
Through the interposition of the,
United States consul he was released.
A charge of opening letter addressed
to her coachman was made against
her few months ago, but it was dis
missed. Judge Osborne denied the
motion.
