HE HAS BEEN IN THE LIFE-sAvING
as BUSINESS. $50
and Lawyer Parkerson Would Have
Been Slain by the Mafa. X

New ORLEANS, May 13.-In an inter-
view with reporter today Italian Consul
Corte said, referring to the remarks OF
the mayor and grand jury: "Let me tell
you that 1 have saved Mayor Shake
speare's life, and have done the same
service to Parkerson and Wickliffe and
other leaders. The day after the killing
there was determined, absolute, al
most uncomfortable desire among GER
tain of my countrymen to kill the mayor
and all those who had hand in the
butchery. But restrained their hands. /
controlled the furious men. Itold them
sBewarel I saidi any harm befell those
gentlemen would Immediately and un-
reservedly denounce the perpetrators OF
the deed. This firm stand checked
things, and I succeeded in holding them
with the promise that would do every
thing in my power to obtain justice, re-
dress and satisfaction in a proper and
legitimate manner; al bitration and 9TH
er diplomatic measures between the two
governments"
Corte insisted that he had conclusive
evidence that among the killed were sew
eral Italian subjects, and that they
could have proved an alibi as clear as
daylight to exculpate them from the
Hennessy murder.
Speaking about the return of his let
ter by the grand jury, Corte said !:
"Could expect any more from grand
jury whose chairman, as president of the
cotton exchange, endorsed the killing ?"

BUYING UP WINERIES.
4 BRITISH AND FRENCH SYNDI
Gates PURPOSE.
Grape Must to be Shipped From Califor-
mia to England and France, and There
Distilled-An Elaborate Scheme.

SAN Francisco, May 13.-The Exam
iner says company composed of British
and French spirit dealers has been
formed in London to buy up the princi-
pal wineries in California. The syndi-
cate is called The Grape Brandy Distill-
cry. and has an ostensible capital of
100000, but a real capital of many
times more. The scheme is to ship
grape must from California to England
and France, and there distill it.
Also combination of the California
wineries is contemplated, with i'm
proved facilities for exporting wine,
The syndicate has made an offer for the
property OF the American Concentrated
Must company of Geyserville, and other
similar works will be built throughout
the state. The wineries of Robert Bar
ton at Fresno, and L. ]. Rose have al
ready been transferred to an English
syndicate, but it is not believed that the
present deal has anything to do with
that transfer.

Associated Press Dispatches.

Cry OF Mexico, May 13.-The Angloa
American "a newspaper) publishes a
rumor OF the sinking of the Itata by the
United States cruiser Charleston, but
gives neither the time nor the place.
The authorities here say they have no
information whatever concerning the
matter.
The government has given strict or
ders to the port authorities on the Pa
cific coast, to report the appearance OF
any Chilean or other warships. 1t will
be difficult to get news, as the govern
ment wires have to be relied on alto :
gether.
The general opinion here is that the
Itata and conveys will double upon the
Charleston. The government has or
dered the gunboat Democratic to keep a
sharp outlook for the vessels.
1t is rumored here that private tele-
gram has been received announcing that
a fishing schooner yesterday saw two
vessels out at sea, off the coast, at full
speed. One was sighted at 10 a. m. and
the other at 2 p. M, but they were so
distant that the fishermen were not able
to distinguish them.

Official Account of the Assault on the
Czarowitch in Japan.

Omcial Account OF the Assault on the
Czarowitch in Japan.
PARIS, May 13.--An official dispatch
received here today from Toxic, Japan,
says: The czarowitch had landed at
Otsu. Shortly after, policeman named
Isuda Sanso, belonging to a sect noted
for fanatical hostility to foreigners, ap-
preached the heir to the Russian throne
and dealt him sabre cut across the
head. Owing to the thickness of the
sun helmet worn by the czarowitch, the
sabre only inflicted wound three
inches in length, and did not
penetrate deeply. Before thepoliceman
could renew his attack he was over
powered and placed in confinement.
The wound inflicted upon the czarowitch
was promptly dressed, and the imperial
traveller left Otsu by special train for
Kioto.
ST.. PETERSBURG, May 13.-The news
papers of this city warmly praise the
gallantry of Prince George, of Greece,
the companion OF the czarowitch in his
travels, who felled the latter's assailant
at Otsu; Japan, to the ground, by hitting
him with u heavy walking stick, and
thus preventing the fanatic from inflict-
ing second and possibly more severe
wound. The news of the danger in
which the czarowitch was placed created
much excitement throughout this city,
and there was great rejoicing when 1T
was announced that he was not dam
gerously wounded.

NOT A PIRATE.
The Itata Liable to Seizure Only for a
Minor Ofense.

The Itata Liable to Seizure Only for a
Minor Ofense.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-There is no
longer tenable claim that the ltata
may be seized as pirate. 1t is recog-
nized that she can be captured for viola
ton of the customs laws, disregard OF
the federal court, and perhaps for kid
naping, but any assumption that she is
a pirate is completely negatived by the
doctrines laid down by the late Francis
Wharton ,formeiy solicitor OF the depart
ment of state, and an eminent authority
on international law. This doctrine
was accepted by Secretary Bayard and
laid down at the time of the Colombian
rebellion and Panama trouble. The
Colombian government had declared the
insurgent vessels to be .pirases,- as
the Chilean government has done, but
the secretary held The government of
the United States cannot regard as
piratical vessels manned by parties in
arms against the government OF Colom-
bia, when such vessels are passing toand
fro from ports held by such insurgents,
or when attacking ports in possession OF
the national government. In the late
civil war the United States, at an early
period Of the struggle, surrendered the
position that those manning Confederate
cruisers were pirates under international
law. The United States of Colombia
cannot, sooner or later, do otherwise
than accept the same view. But, how
ever this may be, no neutral power can
acquiesce in the position now taken by
the Colombian government"
Another fact which may be OF inter-
est in view of the expected arrival OF
the Itata at Mexican port, probably
Acapulco, is that she cannot stay there.
Under the practices of international law
the Mexican government could not re-
fuse to protect her, but she could not
remain in port more than twenty-four
hours, as to do SO would subject her to
the charge of using the port as base OF
operations against friendly govern
ment. SO if the vessel reaches Acapulco
before the Charleston, the latter vessel
would have simply to wait outside the
port for twenty-four hours to get an op-
portunity to retake the Itata and her
stores, providing these had not in the
meantime been transferred to the Es-
meralda.
No news was received at the navy de-
partment today about either the Charles
ton or the Itata.

The Work of Awarding the Prize Will
Take Some Time.

The lists in the competition for Euca-

day. There are over 800 contestants,
and the number of words run from 4S
up to 24l5. The latter lists will be
pruned down very considerably, as we'll
as sever other lists where the same word
has been used several times. For in
stance tear is only counted as one word,
notwithstanding it has more than one
Specification. It is thought that 1890
words, or thereabouts, will capture the
prize. There are just 100 who have lists
exceeding 800 words. The youngest
competitor is and the oldest 70 years
old. 1t will take several days to decide
who is entitled to the money.
