PURSUING THE ITATA.
The Charleston Leaves San,Pe-
drO on Her Way South
For the Purpose of Capturing
the Gillian Vessel.
Naval Officers Think a Battle
Will Follow.

SAN Francisco. May lit is now
definitely known that the GILLIAN cruiser
Esmeralda is now in port at Acapulco on
the Mexican coast, which fact the navy
department at Washington was probably
advised of when orders were issued to the
Charleston. The efforts to keep the
destination of the Charleston secret,
therefore, were natural, as the represent
atiyes of the CHILEAN Insurgents would be
prompt to advise the E5meralda Of the
intention of the American government
to seize the Itata. 1t is now deemed
probable that the Esmeralda will cruise
northward to San Luis in the hope of
meeting the ltata before the Charleston
can arrive, and to protect the cargo and
crew from seizure If possible. Apart
from other considerations it is now known
that on board the ltata are the som
mander of the Esmeralda and a large
portion of her crew, and presumably a
portion of the Esmeraida 5 secondary bat
terry.
The fact that there appears now n very
strong likelihood of a meeting of the two
matched war ships under conditions that
"NA ANNdlAN hiN bAAlhENhAthA ~ IANNNul a
fight is thoroughly recognized by naval
men on this coast The orders of Capt.
Remey, Of the Charleston, are well au-
thenticsted to be binding III the matter
of the recapture of the Itata if sighted,
aud on the part of the Esmeralda it is
believed as fully that she will fight if she
can reach the scene in time. The
Charleston and Esmeralda are sister ships
as to general plan aud possess nearly the
same armament. The Esmeralda, how
ever, has two pivot guns of ten inch cali
bre, with a weight of twenty-five tons
each, while the Charleston has two eight
nch rifles, sore and aft, weighing twelve
and a halt tons. This is regarded by
some critics as outmatching the Charles
ton IN case of a fight, but apart from
these guns the ornaments of the two ships
are practically the same. The Charleston
is the swittest ship and, while never in
action, has a splendid crew and a fighting
commander.
The Charleston left San Pedro shortly
alter 5 O'Clock this morning and was
sighted ten miles out off Point Iona, hay
ing made a ninety knot run in six hours,
or at a fifteen knot gait. There we're add
tional orders awaiting her at San Diego,
but she kept on her south bound course
without stopping. There are no telegraph
stations south of Ensenada, Just south OF
the boundary line in Lower California, so

Two Trains Wrecked and Six P, OpIe
 Seriously Injured.
 JAMAICA, L. l., Jan. 15.-Another smash up occurred on the Long Island Railroad near the Jamaica depot at 6 o'clock a. m.
 A brick train, under the charge of En- gineer Ennis, ran into the rapid transit train, as, it is alleged, through the neglect of the engineer to obey the block signal, directing him not to move on the main track.
 The track on which the rapid transit trains enter Jamaica ends directly by the side of the main track. Trains can be run on the main line by means of a switch when desired. Through the sup posed blunder the switch was left open, and the rapid transit and the brick train came into collision.
 There was a smash, followed by a grinding noise, the hiss of escaping steam, the crash of splintering wood and glass, and the screams of the passengers.
 Six people in all were seriously in iured. Their names are Miss A. Flanni- gan, Mrs. Hartman, Mark Miller, Sam Brown, Conductor Edward Bugbee and Engineer Eunis. A number of others received minor bruises and scratches.

ACCIDENT AND rNC1DExr.

Walker Believed That New York Mon Wanted to Boil Him in Acid.
 Robert Walker, the middle-aged colored mar who cut his throat with 8 razor, on a Consolidated road train near Norwalk, Monday, is now in Stamford Franklin that he was on his way to his home in South Carolina, where his wife and two children awaited him. He had | been working for three months in Bos- ton and wanted to go home. but he did not want to go to New York. There were some men there, he said, waiting to cut him to pieces and boil him in acid. When he found he could not stop the train he tried to kill himself. Dr Franklin says the wound, though an ugly gash, is not dangerous. The razor had severed the trachea just above the Adams apple, but had not touched any artery. A ticket to South Carolina was found in Walkers pocket, and the hospital authorities say that he will be permitted to ge there as soon as his self inflicted injury is healed.
 ! The members of the emergency corps at the Bridgeport hospital say that they never saw a closer shave than that ex- perienced by man named McDutf. who fell into the harbor Tuesday. He was rigid when taken from the water, and for three hours and A half an electric battery, baths in mustard water and various other remedies failed to resusci- tate him. The staff were exhausted when the man opened his eyes and be- gan to breathe.
 George White of New Britain, is at the Hartford hospital and in danger of dying in consequence of a running sore caused by the kick of horse year ago.

CONNECTICUT MORTALITY.

Abstract of the December Report
 of the State Board of Health.
 In Connecticut in December there were 999 deaths reported. This was sixty-five more than in November and fifty-one more than in December of last year and eighty-nine more than the average mortality in December for the five years preceding the present.
 In the twelve months of the year the number of deaths was 13, ,220, being 1 ,079 mere than in the last year, and 1.23S more than the average for the last five years. Tho death rate was 16.0 for the large towns; for the small towns 162 and 16.1 for the whole state. The deaths from zymotic diseases were 122, being 12 g per cent of the total mortality against 15.5 per cent in November.
 The excess of 1,13S deaths over the average yearly mortality of the previous five years, is to be largely ascribed to the baneful impression made by the great epidemic, which was at its height at the beginning of the year-and which affected most powerfully the respiratory, nervous and circulating system.

WASHINGTON, Jan 15.-Much com- ment has been caused here by the an- nouncement that the managers of the general assembly ball, society event which occurs at Richmond, Va, every year, and which is quite similar to the charity ball of Washington, have de- cided to send no invitations to President Harrison and Secretary Blaine. The managers have decided to invite Mir and Mrs Cleveland. The alleged reason for this proceeding is based on the assump- tion that the position of the administra- ton on certain pubic questions is an tagonistic to the welfare of Virginia.

 The second lecture in the course for the free cot at the hospital was deliver ed last night by frederick Villiers, upon "War Upon 8 White Sheet" A large and fashionable audience was present. Mir Villiers' story of moving accident by flood and field" was of ab- sorbing interest as the details were un- folded and illustrated by anecdote and picture. As a war correspondent of the London Graphic Mir Villiers' opportuni- ties for observation and information in the stubbornly contested battles between Russia and Turkey, in the Roumanian campaign, the siege of Alexandria, end ing in one of the most picturesque bonn. bardments in history, the campaign | Abyssinia and later with the expedition to release the ill-fated Chinese Gordon, were of the widest. Mir Villiers had nc cause for complaint of the manifesto tions of appreciation, nor had the audi ence anything but praise for the lecture and lecturer.

LYMPH AT NEW HAVEN.

The Doctors Greatly Encouraged at
 the Progress ef the Lupus Patient.
 The patients who have been under lymph treatment at New Haven since December were yesterday reported to be in excellent condition. Dr Foster de- clined to give degree of improvement, but said it was satisfactory. Dr Francis Bacon was more positive in his state ments. He said |: "The original re- presentations in regard to the curative effects of lymph on lupus are confirmed 60 far as the recent experiments have gone. But l can hardly say as much regarding its effects upon pulmonary tuberculosis. do not care to express an opinion regarding each individual case, but will say that there has been an improvement in the condition of the patients, or in other words that they are better than they were before the use of the remedy was begun. It is hardly time yet to demonstrate the full efficacy of the ly mph, but enough is known to assure us that it is a most powerful agent"
 Replying to question as to whether positive cure was anticipated in the lupus case the doctor said "I have no hesitancy in saying that the claims of the lymph, so far as the experiments have gone regarding lupus, have been substantiated."
 From other sources it was learned that Mir Henry Johnson, the lupus patient, is greatly improved, and that the lupus sore on the side of his face has in great measure disappeared.
 Harry Gardner, a brakeman on the New London & Northern railroad, was knocked off his train this morning, near Stafford Springs, by a bridge, and fell between the cars. He was instantly killed, his body being cut to pieces. It was Gardner's first trip on the road and he was not familiar with the location of bfidges.
