MAXWELL REJEcTED.
CHICAGO, June 13.-The worlds
fair directory last evening took nc
tion on two of the most talked-of
nominations made by Director-Gen-
eral Davis. The vote OH the confir
nation Of M. E. Stone, of Chicago,
as chief of the department of foreign
affairs, resulted In tie, and further
consideration of this was postponed
until the next meeting. Mr.. Stone,
however, hearing that a fight had
9een made OH his confirmation,
promptly withdrew his name. The
committee appointed to make
an Investigation of the accu
sations against w. S. Maxwell, who
was nominated for chief of the
bureau of horticulture, reported
there was no proof to sustain the
charges against his character.
When the nomination was put to a
vote, however, Maxwell was defeat
ed, 25 to 8. Director General Davis
thereupon substituted the name of
General N. p. Chipman, of Calf
fornia. He was at once confirmed |
by the directory. The board of con-
troll must now pass upon Chapman
aud there is some talk that feeling |
over the defeat of Maxwell may
lead to Chipman's rejection by the
board. The directory UNANIMOUSLY
confirmed the nomination of Skiff,
as chief of the mining bureau.
THE ETATA.
New YORK, June, 13.-A special
cablegram from Iqulque, Chill, says:
Recently Captain Mouzum, com
manding the Etata, applied to Rear
Admiral Mccain for protection for
his ship against the torpedo cruisers
Almirante Condell and AImirante |
Lynch, which had appeared of
this harbor a few days ago. The
Etata's machinery was being over
hauled preparatory to her departure
70: San Diego, Cal, and therefore,
she was absolutely helpless against
attacks. Besides, although she is
practically in possession of the Uni
ted States, the forces of Balmaceda's
cruisers may not be aware of that
fact or might ignore it. Recogniz
ing this possibility, Admiral Nc
Cam ordered the captains of the
Charleston and Sau
francisco to give the Etata all
lecessary protection. Accordingly,
zach vessel supplied picket steam
commanded as follows;
The Charleston's by Lieutenant Ed
yard f. Onabrough, the BaltiInore's
~ Lieutenant Herbert Dunn and
he San Francisco's by Lieutenant
Iervy M. Garrett. Each launch is
manned by a fully armed crew,
nd they take four hour watches at
light on picket duty watching the
Itata, ready to warn any of the
Jhilian cruisers of the Balmaceda
party that may think the Etata
air game for guns or torpedoes.
The search lights of the three yes.
sells are also said to help the picket
launches to keep sharp lookout for
an enemy, Should such an attack
be made at night and any of our
sailors or officers be killed or wound
ed, the relations of the United States
with the combatants in the Chiian
civil war would become very mnch
complicated"
The Etata will be sent north in
charge ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS C.
G. Todd, the Charlestou's executive
officer, assisted by Lieutenant
James III. Glennon and Assistant |
Engineer Ira n. Hill. The repairs
to the Etata's machinery are practi
completed aud she will start for San
Diego today.
