Battle Between IrOncladS,

SAN FRANCIsco, April 1.--Private ad-
vices from Valparaiso state that the iron
clad Blanco, belonging to insurgents, re-
Gently attempted to blow up the armed
government tug Florence with a fish
torpedo. The torpedo missed the tug,
but struck big floating dry dock in the
harbor blowing it to pieces. Blanco was
thererpon treated to a hot fire of shot
and shell from every gun in tue forts and
steamed out Of the harbor. The same
night a torpedo boat and tug Florence
stole out to attack Banco. The iron
clad was not alone, being in company
with the sloop of war Ohiggins. Both
ships compelled the government vessels
to return to harbor and followed in hot
pursuit. A heavy shell from Blanco
struck Florence blowing her entirely
out OF the water, and everyone of her
crew of II men was either killed
or wounded. \ broadsid, from
Ohiggins knocked the torpedo boat all to
pieces. The two insurgent vessels then
turned, their attention to the forts and a
lively battle ensued A shell from the
fort struck the Ohiggins and went clear
through her. Another shell caused the
gun on her quarter deck to explode.
When the smoke cleared away the deck
was found to have been literally to- ont
of the vessel and nine men out of the
gun crew of twelve were blown to atoms.
The sloOp was at once taken out of range
of the guns in the fort.

Baron Fava's Withdrawal Is More IL
Personal Matter Than
Anything Else.
His Standing with the United States
Government Was Not
Very Friendly.
4 Minister More Popular rhan Fava
Would Accomplish More
for Italy.


WAsHINGToS, April ]. The impression
is deepening in diplomatic circles that
there is decidedly personal aspect to
the withdrawal of Baron Fava. 1t is
learned that last year Carleton, United
States consul at Palarino, made formal
report to the secretary of state upon the
subject of brigandage in Italy. He de-
scrlbed the number Of cases of outrage
ons treatment of foreign citizens Amer
leans included by italian banditti, and
then proceeded to score the Italian gov
ernment deeply for it's failure to sup
press these red-handed criminals and to
defend foreigners in Italy. This report
was published in this country in a much
diluted form and aroused the indignation
of Baron Fava, the italian minister. He
promptly notified his government of
the nature of the report and an
nounced his determination to secure
the consuls recall. In Secretary
Blaine's absence, he was able to do this
Dldlue WAS luucH (llSpleaSeu at The action
that had been taken, but it was too late
to recall the departments decision. Con-
sequently the relations between the Sec
retary aud baron became somewhat less
pleasant than they had been aud, accord
ing to some gossip that is floating about
the state department. by some means not
exactly described, but we'll known in the
science Of diplomacy, the italian govern
ment came to understand that repre-
sentative on more cordial terms with
prominent United States officials might
obtain more favors for his government.
Favors we're much in demand IN Italy,
which had been sadly pinched by the
provisions of the ironclad Mckinley tar
itf act, and the belief was entertained
(based on the turpentine customs) that
concessions could be arranged by the ex-
ecutive branches OF the two governments.
irrespective of legislation. SO the ba-
ron's usefulness in the United States had
been impaired IA according to state de-
partment gossip and an opportunity was
looked for when the experiment of new
representative might be tried.

among the state department officials
when the fact became known that Baron
Fava had been recalled. They did not
know 1t officially, save the secretary. be-
fore the close of official hours, for the
secretary was confined to his home again
by the recurrence of his old malady,
govt, and did not send word to
his Ieutenants in the department
of state. But he did manage to get into
his carriage about o'clock and drive
over to the White House, where he told
the president all that had occurred
and discussed the future prospects. He
stayed with the president for an hour,
and when he returned to his home he
was not accessible. State department
officials did not care to talk about the
matter. Wheaton, first assistant secre-
tary, is confined to his room by illness.
Adee, another assistant secretary, had
not been informed of the event which
was the absorbing topic of conversation
among the people outside. No of the
officials cared to be quoted in their opin-
ions. Precedents were to be looked I'D
before they could be ventured. Still,
there was general disposition to belit-
tie the matter, and there was no idea that
the dogs OF war were to be nnloosed.
Baron Fava had not demanded his pass
port, as had been at first reported. a re-
call under the circumstances of
this case is serious matter.
There could be no attempt
to Disguise the fact, but it does not signi-
fy that mutual explanations and diplo-
macy cannot restore the old status. The
charge datfaire, Marquis Imperial, has
been left in charge of the italian lega-
ton, so that the severance Of diplomatic
relations cannot be regarded as complete.
Just what the status of this official is
cannot be known except through his Off
cial acts. 1t is stated that he is in charge
OF ''current affairs" If any serious sig
niticance attaches to Il minister's recall,
this means that the charge is to be lim-
tied in his functions to issuing passports,
instructing consular officers and other
small matters. In this case. further cor
respondence between the governments of
the United States and Italy must take
place directly between Washington and
Rome.

Dixon Defeats Mccarthy in the Twenty
Second Round.
Troy, N. Y, March 3l.-The great
glove contest between Cal Mccarthy of
Jersey City and Geo. Dixon of Boston
created the greatest kind of a stir in this
city tonight. The streets were crowded to
their utmost capacity in the vicinity of
the rink, in which the fight took place.
Special trains came in from every direc-
tion and the room was filled an hour
before the time appointed for starting
the contestants on their scientific mis-
sion. Betting was free, but the odds
were all on Dixon. 1t is thought that
fully $25,0OO must have changed hands on
the result. In the twenty second round
Dixon forced the fighting and knocked
Mccarthy down as fast as he got up until
he was completely exhausted. At the
call of time the referee declared Dixon
the winner. Six ounce gloves were

Tho Diplomatic Controversy.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Baron Fava's
letter to Blaine and the latter's response
to the Italian Charge d'atfairs has been
made public. The fact that Secretary
Blaine addressed his last letter Oh the
subject of the New Orleans tragedy to
Marquis Imperiali, charge d'atfaires. is
of significance as demonstrating that
this government does not regard the rup-
ture of diplomatic relations caused by
Baron Fava's recall as complete Had
that view been taken the communication
would have been addressed to the Italian
government direct, or through the me-
dium of Minister Porter at Rome.
How the matter is viewed by the italian
government will be disclosed by the re-
ply that is made to the secretary's letter.
If charge datfaires replies as such it
must be construed as the acknowledge
ment that the italian government is still
represented in the United States by it's
legation. But If he announces that he is
without authority to reply and suggests
the transmittal of the secretary's COM
munication to Rome, it may be taken as
evidence that direct diplomatic
relations between the two countries are
at an end. A careful perusal of the Sec
retary's letter seems to warrant the as
sumption that from the very beginning
of the correspondence and negotiations
on the subject treated, the italian minis
ter assumed an aggressive attitude.
The secretary says the baron has more
thar once intimated this purpose Ito de-
part speedily which clearly demon
strates that the minister had threatened
to leave Washington early in the negoti-
atious, instead of pursuing the negotia-
tions in the cautious and diplomatic man
ner that might be expected in a case where
the facts were still officially unknown to
the United States government, although
it had taken all proper steps to secure
speedy report from its own officers, in
addition to any statements that mil ght
come from the authorities of louisiana.

sentative of the Associated Press this af-

a Bismarck dispatch in the Minneapolis
Journal recently stated "that the pier on
the east end of the Northern Pacific bridge
at Bismarck has moved considerably with
in the past year and would necessitate the
transfer by boat of trains during the sum-
mer months, as the east span, it is reported,
will be taken down in order to make the
necessary repairs"
y jamestown Alert reporter interviewed
Superintendent McCabe on the subject and
he said: "There is no truth in the report
The bridge is as safe as ii ever was. 1t has
not moved sixteenth of an inch in the
last year and half. The only work the
Northern Pacific will do on the bridge this
year is to contnuc!the filling in of the 1900
loot treste at the vest end and we will
have two steam shovrls at work on that.
If the bridge was unsafe or needed repairs,
the railroad officials would know it as soon
as any one else and would be more inter
eSted than the public in making them. 1t
