THE CHILlANS ALERT.
No Doubt That the Esmeralda is

THE CRUISER ARRIVES AT ACAPULCO.
Prospects of an Engagement
With the Charleston.
LATE MEXICAN ADvICEs.
THE EsMERALpA AT ACAPULCO.

omcers Come Ashore and Learn the Inten-
lions Of This Government.
ST. Lorts, May ia special from the CITY
OF Mexico says: A dispatch received late last
night from Acapulco says: ''rhe Gillian cruiser
Esmeralda entered this port yesterday and
sailed again today. Several OF her officers we're
ashore and used the wires and made variou. In
quiries regarding the action Of the United
States, showing that they had been in-
formed that the cruiser Charleston had
been sent in pursuit of the Itata- Ii is be-
lieved that she has steamed north 20 intercept
the ltata and protect her should the Charleston
attempt 70 capture her.
The officers who came ashore were very reti-
cent, but from one Of the sailors il was learned
that they expected 20 sight the Itata aud act rs
her escort down the coast The Esmeralda has
a numerous crew and in appearance they are
veterans and will tight The opinion preynils
here that should the Charleston ATTEMPT 20 cap
ture the ftata a naval engagement viii take
place and the United States cruiser will get the
worst Of il"
TIE DISPATCH CONFIRMED.
The above dispatch was confirmed NJ the
War Department, but the officers were inclined
to be reticent. A prominent official said that
the cruiser had been warned not 10 remain in
port, as Mexico was not hArboring insurgent
vessels and did not recognize any other gov
SLAlueaf iu thAl tnah tnat OF talninceda.
That was the reason why the cruiser
bad sailed. The captain OF the
fishing boat which was nearly run down by a
large steamer, which carried no lights. saws that
after bis boat was out of danger bright bliud-
ing light was suddenly flashed upon his craft
and that IL was undoubtedly produced by an
electric light from a man-of-war. lie said
further that the vessel was steanling north.
THE EsMERALDA GOES NORTH
With this fact in view there il but little doubt
that II was the Esmeralda going north TO inter-
cept the Itata- 1t is the general idea that
should the Esmeralda meet the Itata before
she Is overtaken by the Charleston the
arms that she has and cargo will
be transferred. In this case the
Charleston could hardly delay the Esmeralda.
No proofs would be forthcoming to prove what
had become Of the munitions OF war This
AIDA captain will pursue. The transfer Of
arms being made on the appearance Of the
Charleston, the empty Itata could be graciously
handed over to il.
III a naval engagement takes place il cannot
be delayed, II the Charleston il on the right
track, much later than tomorrow, and will

Col. Elliot Does Not Think They Have Been
Seriously Damaged.
The Commissioners today received a reply 20
the letter Of the parking commission, which
was referred TO Col Elliot. relative to injury
done to the trees on the east side Of New Jer-
sey avenue between K and L streets by men
laying the water main.
Col. Elliot says in his letter that he referred
the complaint to the foreman in charge Of the
work for report and, that he stated that none
Of the roots Of the trees were cut that could he
avoided; that the trees were not destroyed, a.
charged, and that in his belief no serious dam
age was done TO them In conclusion Col
Elliot says:
The main was laid on this short part OF in
route and the trench was refilled before the
complaint reached me. but l sincerely hope
that time may prove the Judgment Of my fore
man 70 be correct. and should very much re-
greet the least injury to any tree planted by the
commission"

The Palace and Bones Of Pizarro.

One of the earliest viceroys erected
the enormous cathedral that faces one
side Of this plaza. with its facade
painted red and yellow, its three green
doors. and tower at each angle. For
nearly three centuries its affairs were
burdeued with gold and silver and
ieweled articles of church service aud
ornament. until II few years ago. when
most of its treasures were appropri-
ated and converted into money by a
needy republican government.
In its dark crypt is the stone collin
of Pzarro. the conqueror. and another
containing the remains OF his raScally
relative, Gonzalo Pizarro. The enter
prising tourist may go down and ex-
pIore the grewsome place by the dim
flicker of u tallow dip, and. if he is
curiously enough inclined, by the pay
ment of Il moderate sum TO the sacriS-
tan. the stone cover will be removed
from the more important coffin and
the crumbling bones of the great con-
quistador exposed TO view.
Another side Of the same square i
occupied bv rather mean-looking
building with small shops beneath it,
which is no less than the old palac,
where Pizarro ruled with high hand
during his brief day here. and wher,
he was assassinated by 1.-THE men %

avengers OF Almagro's murder. 1T

The Origin OF Death.

Leckv, the historian, says geology
has conclusively disproved what was
once the universal belief concerning
the origin of death. That this fearful
calamity appeared in the universe on
account of the transgression OF man;
that every pang that convulses the
frame of any created being. every
passion or instinct or necessity that
contributes to the inilction of suffer-
inc. is but the fruit of the disobedience
in paradise. was long believed with un-
falterinr assurance. and is even now
held by many who can not be regard
ed as altogether uneducated. And this
general proposition became great
archetvpe. center around which
countless congcnital beliefs were
formed, "A first principle or measure
of probability guiding the predispo-
sitions of men in all their Inquiries. II
all death and all pain resulted from the
sin of Adam. it was natural to
give every particular instance oil
death or pain Il special signilcaton
aud if these the greatest of terrestrial
/ imperiections were connected with the
/ history of man. it was natural to be-
| lieve that all minor evils were no less
so. But geology has now proved de-
cisivelv that profound error turks m
these conclusions. 1t has proved that
countless ages before man trod thi:
earth death ragged and revcled among
its occupants; that it so entered into
the original constitution Of things thai
the agony and intirmity it implies were
known as at present when the masto
don and the diuotherium were the ruler
of the world. To deny this is now i'm
possible; to admit it is to abandon on
of the root doctrines of the past.

how it would punish murderesses is
not easily to be seen. To condemn
them to solitary confinement or to

would talk each other to death. Real

UNDOUBTEDLY the most prolific
cause of failure in life is excessive in
diligence in drink. Sometimes it is
quick in its operations. sometimes
slow. but it always gets in its work,
sooner or later. Its worst effects come
from its use in business hours. The
man who INDUCES in liquor at that
time OF the day is absolutely certain
TO make his lie failure and to wreck
his business, because he clouds his
brain and dulls his faculties just a,
the time when his thinking apparatus
should be at its best and allows other
men to get ahead OF him. Alcohol i
the predominating cause OF failure in
high life and in low life.

The whole question of the food sup

is away from agricultural TO mana-

and the world yet will have to face

Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1891-02-27

BY success or failure in life it is not
meant that every person must reach
the maximum Of the one or the utter
hopelessness Of the other. 1t is not to
be expected that every man is to be II
Shakespeare, a Goethe. a Newton, n
Lincoln or an Edison, and if he is not
that his life must be set down as a
failure. That man is a failure, how
ever, who at the close OF the journey
finds himself worse off than he was at
the start; who has not advanced a
little at least hey ond the achievement Is
of his father; who has failed 10 make
a decent and comfortable living and
to leave something for those who are
dependent upon him.
