WASHINGTON, May 16.-After a weeks
waiting some tangible news was today received
from the Charleston. First came a dispatch
from Acapulco stating the Chilisn insurgent
cruiser Esmeralda had put out at Acapulco
harbor yesterday and had returned to the fort
today.
Later through the state department dis
patch came stating that the Charleston had ar
rived at Acapulco. and that the Esmeralda
was still in port, but giving no news of the
ltata.

SAN Francisco. May 1S.-The steam
ship Newbern arrived from Mexican ports
today. The Esmeralda was sighted on the
down trip OF the Newbern at Cape San
Lucas. Two officers of the Esmeralda
visited the Newbern and asked Capt. Won
Helms which was the nearest coaling sta
ton. The latter directed him to San
Diego. They said nothing about taking
coal from the Newbern and after stating
that the Etats had gone to Vancouver
took their leave.

himself or his vessel An officer OF the
Esmeralda, in reply to a question put to
him in the telegraph office at Acapulco, as
to the probability of sea fight between
the Charleston and Esmeralda said, in a
jocular and rather ambiguous way:
"Oh. the Etata is already out of danger.
She has plenty of coal and provisions to
carry her TO her destination"
This remark has given rise to the report
that the Etaia coaled at sea and proceeded
to her destination, while the Chilian war
ship steamed for Acapulco to throw the

WASHINGTON, d. c., May IL.
The interview of Green B. Raum az
published, regarding the guile of his SON
in connection with the SD that had beer
taken from the office safe, appears ve1
tame to those thoroughly Informed.
The truth of the matter is, the money
was received at the pension Office over
three months ago and was placed in the
office safe. from which it was abstracted
few days later by young Raum. Mr. Bal
ley. who is in charge of the criminal desk
in the Law division, takes charge Of al
such matters When the letter which ba6
contained the money came to his desk he
made inquiry for the cash and, learning
where it wss, made Z demand for il. The
chief clerk, Capt. Fisher, went 20 the safe
for it and found il gone. After some
time il was traced TO Raum.
Bailey made several written as well as
many verbal demands for il, without re-
suit. Matters became cerlous and Bailey
went to old man Raum and stated the cir
cumstances, and said nc must have the
money at once or report TO the secretary.
The day Raum, sr., LETT for Chicago the
money was given I'D, aud the same day
Bailey turned it in 10 the Z. :. treasury.
Young Raum had ''blowed il in" weeks be-
fore and Assistant Secretary Busseys talk
that it was returned in the same bills is
false and he well knew it. Bussey stands
- with the Raums and is as dishonest
and rotten as they are. Secretary ChGnd-
Ter, who was acting in Mobiles place, in.
sisted on an immediate dismissal but Bus
sey worked in the thirty days Tith pay.
Mr.. Roosevelt of the civil service com
mission, will be called upon to explain
how one man car take an examination
under an assumed name and the one
whose name he has assumed be appointed.
There should now he some criminal pros
ecutions. Raum should Oe indicted for
theft and several for violation Of the civil
service laws. The invest igat.on should be
continued as 10 the purchase OF appoint

That mutilation should ever have
been adopted as Il penalty by the
Christian church one finds it difficult
to believe, yet the ecclesiastical au-
thorities inflicted it for comparatively
trivial offenses and several councils
emphatically attempted to suppress it.
Thus the thirteenth canon of the
Council of Merida, in 666, deprived
bishops and priests of the right of
mutilating the servants of the church.
The sixth canon of the Council of To-
ledo. in 675, while forb;dding bishops
to exercise exclusive jurisdiction in
otfenses involving the capital penalty,
also interdicted them from ordering
mutilation of the limbs even in the
case of their own serfs; and ordaired
that bishops violating this law should
be deposed. eXcommunicated and de-
MED the last rites OF the church when

canon of the Council OF Frankfort, in

Origin of the Menu.

A German gastronomicsl publica-
ton gives the following account OF
the origin of the menu: At the meet
ing Of electors in Regcnsburg in The
year 1889 Elector Henry. of Braun-
schweig, attracted general notice at a
state dinner. He had a long paper
before him to which he referred every
time before he ordered dish. The
earl of Montfort who sat near him.
asked him what he was reading. The
elector silently handed the paper. to
his interrogation. 1t contained a list
of the viands prepared for the occa-
sion, which the elector had ordered
the cook to write out for him. The
idea of having such a list so pleased
the illustrious assembly that they in
troduced it each in his own household,
and since that time the fashion OF hay-
ing menu has spread all over the
civilized world.
