BATON hOOGEt March II, loJI. J
The Hon. James c.. Blaine, Secretary of State,
Washington, ID. c.;
SIR: At a late hour on the 18th inst. re-
ceived a dispatch from You having reference to
the forcible breaking on the 14th OF the Jail in
this city and the killing of eleven persons con-
fined therein under indictment found in the
criminal courts for the parish of New Orleans.
You stated to me that it had been represented
to the president by the minister OF Italy &C.
credited to the government of the United
States that among the killed on that occasion
were three or four subjects OF the king OF Italy.
The telegram disclosed an apprehension on the
part of the minister, evidently shared by the
president, that the disturbance was a continu-
OPS aud swelling disturbance which might ln-
yolve the Italian subjects in New Orleans.
/ have reason to believe that the hope ex-
pressed by the president that 1 would cooper
ate with him in maintaining the obligations OF
the United States toward Italian subjects who
might be within the perils of excitement. and
that further violence and bloodshed might be
prevented, was based upon that belief.
The president further expressed the hone
that all offenders might be promptly brought
TO justice.
On the 10th instant telegraphed you that
there was no excitement in the city at that
time. and that saw no reason to anticipate
further trouble. | also stated that the action
taken directed against particular indiyId-
uals and that the race or nationality of the par
ties 0lQ not enter as factor INTO tue disturb
ance. week has passed since the date OF my
dispatch and the opinion then entertained as
to the termination of the trouble has
proved to have been well.founded. The men
killed, as | have stated, were confined in prison
under indictments found in the criminal dis
trict court for parish of New Orleans; the
sheriff has made his return OF the facts TO that
court; the Judge thereof has charged the grand
jury, now In session, in regard TO the matter
and the whole subject is, / assure you, now I'M
der investigation by that body.
| am satisfied that most of the persons killed
were American citizens, but il is probable that
two or three were Italian subjects
/ have the honor TO be, very respectfully,
FRANCIS T. NICHOLS. Governor.
Governor Nichols letter is written on Of
fetal paper and is dated at the capital of
tho state. 1t is evident, however, that it
was written in New Orleans, as it speaks
of the killing as having occurred at the
Jail in this" that city. Secretary Blaine
has sent copy of the letter to Baron Fava.
the italian minister.
The department of state will not take
further action in the matter OF the New
Orleans tragedy until the Italian minister
makes some further communication upon
the subject. He has cabled the substance
of Governor Nichols letter TO his gov
eminent and the impression ut the state
department is that he will await the action
OF the New Orleans courts before making
further representations to the state de-
partment.

Mexican Consul at San Antonio Ordered
to Keep Posted.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. 22.-Dr.
Plutarcho Ornelos, the Mexican consul
in this city, has received instructions
from President Diaz to keep himself
fully informed in regard to the progress
of. the revolution in Northern Mexico.
But very little can be learned of the
movements of the revolutionists, how
ever. They are known to be marching
between Mier and Metamoras and it is
reported that they have committed many
depredations. The incendiary circular
spread broadcast by the revolutionists is
having effect and secret rebel organiza-
tions are said to be forming in many
places. These will join the uprising
against Diaz when opportunity offers.
The Mexican officials claim that the
present invasion was the result of the
efforts of General Sandoval and Catrino
Garcia: The latter was particular
friend of General Martinez, who was
assassinated few months ago at Laredo.
Tex, it is claimed by hired agents of the
Diaz administration. There was no en-
gagement near Monterey Sunday as was
repOrted,

New ORLEANS, Sept. 22.-The Pic

It is reported from up river points that
Garcia's force of revolutionists in Mex
loo is receiving daily reinforcements
from this side of the river. Small par
ties from Texas frontier counties are
crossing at different points between here
and Laredo. There is a large element
Of discontented Mexicans in these coun-
ties. Hard times and lack of employ
ment, and the inherent love of anything
savoring of revolution, make them ready
recruits. Garcia is still reported as
making toward the Rio Grande closely
pursued by Mexican troops. The
United States soldiers stationed on the
Texas frontier are all in the field watch
ing the river crossings. Fort Brown is
occupied now by the post surgeon and a
teamster. All others available are out,
and the number hardly more than a
corporal's guard.

THE SITUATION IN HAWAII.

No Present Danger of a Revolution-An-
4 nexation to United States Talked Of
LONDON, Sept. %. - Advices from
Hawaii state that there is no present
danger of a revolution in that country,
although the resources and temper Of
the people are undergoing severe test
owing to the low price of sugar and
there is some talk, although not definite,
of republic or annexation to the United
States. The queen is personally popular,
q fact which has a tendency to keep
down discomfort and it is possible that
any fundamental change in the system
of government will be deferred until
after her death. Nevertheless some
foreign residents think that crisis may
come at any time. Americans are not
alone in favoring annexation to the
United States, many of the natives being
Z of the same view.

That Is How Mr.. Fassett Describes tho

New YORK, Sept. 29.-The Repub-
licans of this city held rousing meeting
in Carnegie's new Music hall and for
mally ratified the action of the Repub-
ican convention at Rochester. John s.
Smith called the vast assemblage to Or
der at S:15 p. m. The chairman intro
duced Mr.. Fassett, who was vociferously
cheered.
Mr.. Fassett spoke at great length. In
the course of his address he said he be-
ieved there were some good men in the
Democratic party, that they were even
in the majority, but that they were an
apathetic majority. He continued:
"The Republican party is willing to
appeal to the record. The armies are in
array, the battle is set. The litigants
are in court. And, men, who are they?
On the one side, the Republican party;
on the other, not the Democratic party,
not the County Democracy, not the old
line Democrats-but Tammany Hall.
The issue is as sharply divided as that
aisle divides this hall. Tammany against
the state. 1t is now matter of recorded
history that for the present and for the
future, until the people Of the state de-
eide otherwise. no Democrat has any
right, either in the preliminary meet
ings or ultimate conventions of his
party, unless Tammany Hall sets the
seal of its approval upon his forehead"

Coal Dock Breaks Down.

ASHLAND, Wis, Sept. pa large
strip of the coal docks Of the Ohio Coal
company, located on the bay at the foot
of Ellis avenue, went to the bottom of
the bay, taking with it boat with 1900
tons of coal. The pilings under the bed
of the dock gave way under the enor-

is filled with coal, containing in the
neighborhood of 1000 tons, and there
is danger of other parts of it going
down. The loss is estimated at S25, 900.
