San FRANcIsco, MAY She Aha California
has positive information that the United States
cruiser Charleston will sail for San Diego today
in pursuit of the Gillian ship Itats. Secretary
Tracy autographed special orders yesterday and
the Charleston at once left Mare Island and
anchored of San Francisco; instead Of taking
her usual anchorage she went behind Goat
Island out of sight Her ostensible purpose in
coming down Is 20 go outside and try her guns.
The officers and men were ordered 10 be on
board at O'Clock this morning.

GREAT BRITAIN MUCH DISTURBED.
LONDON, May SIT has leaked out that con-
siderable perturbation exists in the foreign
Office over the action Of the United States in
Selling a vessel of the Chilian insurgents.
The instruction from the first has been
favored by Great Britain and the British lega-
ton at Santiago has more than once extended
a valuable helping hand 20 the rebels through
the agency of the British feet Under .
thin preteXt of surrender TO superior force
English merchant vessels have kept insurgents
in supplies in return for ample compensation
and the British government has presented no
protest against such pretended and profitable
seizures, Lord Salisbury even going so Tar ~ 70
advise the payment of duties eXacted by the
insurgents at the ports held by them, IL being
on these duties that the instruction de-
ponds for sustenance. Therefore the vigorous
action of the United States TO prevent the revo-
lutionists from using American ports has
caused almost transformation among the various
British interests that have been supporting the
rebellion. Ii is said that representatives OF the
congress party have gained powerful influences
in their behalf in France by making promises
to entertain the Dreyfus claim, which Balma-
ceda sternly rejected, when presented with the
Endorsement OF the French government

MT. Blaine Has Been Firm in His Conten-
tions-Not Caught by Chat.
The discussion of Mr.. Blaine's latest letter on
the Boring sea matter indicates Q general
opinion that the United States is losing nothing
by the discussion. Lord Salisbury has been
trying to hasten action in the matter TO reach
decision according to propositions laid down
by himself, or to trap the United States into
some action in the way Of . temporary COM
promise agreement, which would be equivalent
to confession of weakness or doubt on the
part Of the United States and prejudice our
case whenever it should be submitted to arbi-
tration.
NOT CAUGHT WITH CHAT.
Mr.. Blaine has shown himself TO be too alert.
however, to be captured with diplomatic chat.
General opinion il that he has yielded nothing
during the course of the controversy which
he intended TO hold, and that. he has
kept Lord Salisbury right up to the issue, re-
tried to carry the controversy into the field of
abstract discussion upon points not exactIv
agreeing with the chain Of facts In this -.
ARBITRATION xxPEcrxD SOON.
The opinion is expressed BY some who have
been watching the controversy with some in
terest that the question ct Issue win before
very long 60 to arbitration upon suggestions
agreeable to Mr.. Elaine. Il u mot thought that
there viii be any seizures Of Canadian poachers
made by the revenue cutters this year and n
may be that the catch Of the American se.iers
wiz be restricted.

Significance.
ROME, May s.-While the Italian press pro-
tests against the failure to prosecute the New
Orleans lynchers the affair has ceased 10 excite
serious public interest in view Of the
gravity of the situation in Italy. The
stoning Of Mr.. Jacques, the American, ct Flor
ence was, il appears, the act of some OF the
worst class, and is said to have been melted In
the first nlace by beggar, 10 whose appeal for
aims Mr.. Jacques neglected to listen. IL IL
claimed that the incident had no motive relst-
ing TO the massacre at New Orleans, and il Ia
deeply regretted by the Florence authorities,
whose city depends upon American patronage
10 a great extent for income. In Rome Ameri-
cans go about entirely unmolested. and IL Is be-
lieved that they are safe in any part OF Italy
where other people are safe.
Boston, May s.-The American consul -
Florence has cablod the following version Of
the assault on Mr.. jacques, the electrician, 70
the Office OF Mr.. jacques in this city:
Mr.. Jacques and his family were out riding,
and happening 20 pass through 9 street in
which some arrests were being made and stones
and other missiles being thrown at the arrest
ing officials, their carriage was struck by some
of the flying bricks. One of the stones crashed
through the carriage with great force and
struck one of the occupants.
The dispatch does not mention, however,
who the person was that was struck

ment Of men by at least eighty. The
monitor Miantonomah is at New York
ready to go into commission. but there
are no sailors to man her. It il
said at the Navy Department that there must
be pro rata scaling down of the compliments
Of all of our ships-st least until Congress
meets and enlarges the force. The white
squadron. now at Norfolk, will be the first to
feel the reduction, and it is understood that the
Chicago is to lose seventy and the Boston and

COL. PRAGER's DEATH.

The Murder OF the German Oncer % Bs
Investigated.
BERLIN, May s.-The German war Office has
instituted an energetic inquiry, on its own
account, regarding the death Of Col Prayer.
1t is said that the higher military authorities,
including, it is said, the kaiser. are
not yet satisfied that the motive
was robbery. and there are circumstances
connected with the colonies history that
suggest different motive. The colonel has OF
late been extremely severe in enforcing the
military regulations against spies and hardly
a dav has passed without the arrest Of some
Frenchman for lettering around the forti6ca-
tons or attempting TO take photographs Of the
defenses. 1t is thought that he may have fallen
q victim to Frenchman, angered by having
been thrown into durance by q German of1icsr
in what was once French city.

MEXICAN ExPoRTs.-Recent statistics pub
lished by the Mexican government show that
the exports from Mexico into the United States
have increased SO rapidly that the people of
this country now take all but 20 per cent Of the

the manufactures Of the United States do not
furnish more than half Of the imports of that
