dent Diaz In reference to the Esmeralda's efforts
to obtain coal, showing that the instructions OF
the government were to resist any attempt on

Los ANGELES, May 27.-The bail of Captain
OFarreli, of the Robert and Minnie, was today
reduced to 5000, which he gave and was re-
leased from custody. Senator Trumbull was
also indicted, and is expected to arrive here
from San Francisco tomorrow. Burt, 0Farreil
and Trumbull viii be arraigned tomorrow.
WASHINGTON CITY, May 27.--The navy depart
ment today received the first news from the
Charleston since she left Acapulco the first OF
last week in continued pursuit OF the Itata
When the vessel failed TO touch at Panama
within the time expected, the department said
1t was very probable 1t had been decided to keep
straight on down the coast, and that the
Charleston would be heard from at some Peru
Wan port This prediction Is fulfilled, for the
port at which the Charleston announced her ar
rival Is Callao. The whereabouts OF the itata is
as far from being known as before, for Captain
heIney reported tnat ne hao seen notnins Va sno
Itata In the cruise down the coast. Inc
Charleston will join the squadron under Ad-
miral Mccain in Chilean waters, and IT is
surmised will report at no distant date the
peaceful surrender by the insurgents OF the
elusive craft, which the United States govern
ment will libel and perhaps forfeit for violation
of the neutrality laws.
PARIS, May 27-The Mexican legation officials
here explain that the coaling of the Chilean in
surgent war ship Esmeralda at Acapulco does
not imply that the Mexican government recog
nizes the congressional party as belligerents.

A BOY NEARLY DROWNED.
His Dugout Capsized-Rescued Onl.
Just In Time.


Just In Time.
Henry Henke, an 11-year-old boy living at
South Eleventh and Dearborn streets, had q
narrow escape from death by drowning last
evening, and may yet suecumb to the effects of
the water. He was padding about in dugout
near the electric light works on the Grant street
bridge, when his craft overturned and threw
him into the water Being unable to swim, he
sank for the third time without any one going
TO his assistance. Some small boys who wit
messed the accident called for aid, and John
Turner, who lives near by, responded to the call.
Rowing out in boat to where the boy had fallen
overheard, he discovered the body lying at the
bottom of the bay in seven feet of water, and
fished it out with pike-pole.
The boy had been under water for fully five
minutes and had the appearance OF being dead.
However, one of the men, attracted to the spot,
took the body and rolled it on q barrel until he
discovered signs OF returning life. He then car.
ried the boy to a neighboring house. Shortly
afterward DR.. Shannon, who had been sum-
moned, arrived, and later DR.. Heliker appeared.
The two physicians made use of restoratives,
and worked hard over the boy until 10 o'clock.
At this time he showed signs of returning con-
seriousness and seemed in fair way to recover.

THE vEsUvIUs DYNAMITE GUNS,
Said to BE Success-Further Tests 4
Re Made.


WASHINGTON CRY, May 1.-THE report of the
naval board on the test of the vesuvius guns
has been made public. When the board met
May Ia IL was found the guns had not been
ranged, and no appliances for sighting were
fitted. Temporary sights were rugged. The
accuracy of the fire of the starboard
gun, under the conditions. was considered
good. The valves of the middle and port guns
were not in satisfactory working order. Tho
effect Of moderate sea and wind upon the
efficiency OF the guns and their range Is yery
slight Generally speaking, the vessel, as a eun
platform, behaved very satisfactorily. MANY
details concerning the steering gear and tower
could be much improved
As TO the natural efficiency of the vessel ~,
offensive purposes, the board has little data on
which to base an opinion. On Nav 10 IN rea
shots were fired at a target towed by the Cusb.
Ing AZ speed of ten knots across the line a.
IRE. the Vesuvius stcsmiug seventeen
knots One of these would undouh,-
edly have struck n vessel This wss
considered favorable showing und.-
the circumstances. The board considered tha
fittings and appliances for loading and srins
the guns very crude and capable of great i've
provement The board recommends that N.
guns should be carefully ranged: also various
notifications OF defects found, and the dens,..
ment has directed the board to reconvepe ~, :,

THE BOY SHOT HIM DEAD.
a Big California Buffer Brought Down
with o Winchester Rife.

COTTONWOOD, Cal. May 1.-THE report tele-
graphed from Red Bluff TO tire city papers Mon
day concerning the murder near here in TehR-
ma county was wrong. Smith was killed by
Fenwick, and not Fenwick by Smith. The
shooting was done Saturday evening Smith
was large, strong man 30 years old, and Fenvick
boy % years old. About a year ago Smith beat
young Fenwick's father nearly to death, from
which he was laid up In q critical condition for
several weeks. Since then the Fenwicks have
found several OF their cattle poisoned, for which
they blamed Smith.
Young Fenwick says he was riding along the
road IN the woods with Winchester rife in his
hands when he met Smith, who stopped him
and said: Ibid you say that poisoned your
cattieT Fenwiek replied that he had said 80.
Then Smith reached for his revolver and the
boy raised bis rifle and shot him. Then he
went to Red Blur and gave himself up. There
were no witnesses, and the boys story Is gener-
ally believed here. The dead man was buried
today near the scene of the tragedy.

No Federal LIQUOR Licenses.

CHICAGO, May 27.-Following the decision OF
the supreme court in the original package case,
an interesting circular comes to the collector of
customs in this district from Commissioner of
Internal Revenue Mason. The commissioner
states that he has received many letters, stating
that in many parts of the country retail liquor
dealers claim to hold a government license to
sell liquor and defy the local or state prohibit
tory law. The commissioner says the belief is
evidently current that the United States licenses
liquor selling, and adds: "0nce for all, this
Office wishes il understood that the government
does not license liquor selling of whatever de-
scription, and only puts yearly tax on liquor
sellers, and does not seek to interfere in prohi-
bition districts"
