 Mexico Observes the Neutrality Laws
 Strictly She Could Not Take on Fuel or
 Provisions.
 CrTY OF MEXICO, via Galveston, May 13- The Anglo-Ameri: :an (newspaper) pub fishes rumors of the sinking of the 1tata by the United States cruiser Charleston, but gives neither time nor place. The authorities here say they have no infor- nation whatever on the subject.
 The government has given strict or ders to the port authorities on the Pacific coast to report the appearance of any Chilian or other war ships. It will be diff cult to get news, as the government wires have to be relied on altogether.
 The general opinion here is that the Itata and her conveys will double up on the Charleston. The government has ordered the gunboat Demcrata to keep sharp lookout for the vessels.
 It is rumored here that a private tele- gram has been received announcing that a fishing schooner saw two vessels out at sea off the coast at full speed. One of the vessels 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 dis tinguish them. This report, however, cannot be traced to reliable source.

CORTE GOING HOME
The Italian Consul at New Or
 leans Lets Out a Secret.
HE SAVED THE MAYORS LIFE
His COuntrymen Arranged Scheme to
 Kill the Leaders of the Mob.

They Called at the Consulate ThirstIng for
 Revengo--They Intended to Blow Up the
 Leading Social Club of the Crescent City
 With Dynamite Only Stopped by
 Threats of Exposure.
 NEW ORLEANS, May 14-Siguor Corte, the Italian Consul at this port who will leave to-m9rrow for Rome, said he had the kindest feelings for the people of New Orleans. He has proven that, he said, for he had saved the lives of Mayor Shakespeare, Mir. Parkerson, MT. Wick life and others.
 Being pressed for an explanation, the Consul, after some hesitation, said:
 "A night or two after the lynching of the Italians, a dozen or more of my fel- low countrymen, whom I did not know, called at the Consulate thirsting for re- venge. They told me they had deter mined to avenge their countrymen, and mentioned those I have named as the first objects of their wrath. Furthermore, they said they intended to blow up the Pickwick Club (the leading social club here) of which the mayor is member, with dynamite.
 'I at once told them that they must put such thoughts from them and told them that this action would lead to a great popular outbreak and an indiscriminate slaughter of the Italian population-men, women and children. I threatened to have them arrested and punished if they would not promise to desist from their intention. This threat had the desired effect and the men promised to be guided by my advice in the matter"

 i'm Indianapolis.

In Indianapolis.
 INDIANAPOLIS, May 14.-There will be a grand welcome for the President when he reaches this city, but everything will have to go with a rush, as his stay here is limited to 45 minutes.
 OMAHA, May 14.-When the Presiden- tial party finished their tour of the city they repaired to the residence of Senator Saunders, father-in-law of Russell B. Harrison. The wives and daughters of Senators and ex-senators, military of ficers and prominent society people of Omaha, assisted Mrs. Saunders at the re- ception. Ten young girls welcomed the President The matrons received the la- dies of the party.
 A general reception followed, and sev- eral thousand people pressed in and met the visitors informally. The President lunched with the Saunders household privately, and while stretching his legs under the table he could not help re- marking that he felt more at home there than at any other time during the trip.
 Mir. and Mrs. Russell B. Harrison, who left Washington with the Presidential party, took leave of their fellow-travelers at Omaha, where Mrs. Harrison will re- main for two weeks, when she will go to New York to sail for Europe with Mrs. Mckee on June g.

NAVAL CIRCLES EXCITED.
No News from the Charleston Received in
 Washington.

No News from the Charleston Received in
 Washington.
 WASHINGTON, May 14.-The reported sinking Of the Itata is not believed here, but there is great excitement in naval circles. A few more hours will probably bring interesting developments.
 Commodore Ramsay, who has been act ing Secretary. and who has had the bur den of the correspondnce growing out of the affair, said to-day that he believed the ltata would be compelled to show herself in n day or two.
 No news from the Charleston was re- ceived at the department to-day. ;The only message received from the Pacific squad ron was a cablegram from Admiral Nc Cam at Valparaiso, acknowledging the receipt of instructions some days ago, and stating that he would follow them. What these instructions are the department is not disposed to reveal at present, but 1t is generally assumed that they direct Ad- miral McL'ann, in conjunction with Ad- miral Brown. to patrol the Chiiian coast and shut off, if possible, the flight of the 1tata.
 The fact that the Itata must be run ming short of fuel and must soon make port has caused considerable discussion as to what her reception will be in that event Naval officers who have been cal culating the probable distance she has travelled since leaving San Diego, think that she must be in the neiGhborhood of Acapulco, Mexico, and that she is likely to coal there. If Mexico observes the neutrality laws strictly, the fugitive would only be allowed to remain in the harbor 24 hours and would not be per mitted to take provisions or fuel.

An Important Point to be Decided by
 Judge Wallace Tomorrow.
 NEW YORK, May 14.-The trial of the case of Sarah Branagh against William P. Smith, involving the claims of the al- legged Irish heirs of the late A. T. Stew art, has begun before Judge Wallace in the Supreme Court. General Butlor and w. H. Secor appeared for the plaintiff, and Elihu Root and Joseph H. Choate represented the Stewart estate.
 Long arguments were submitted on both sides, the defense contending that Sarah Branagh, the mother of Mary Brapagh, Stewards cousin, being an alien, could not, as an heir, acquire any right to an interest in the Stewart estate. Judge Wallace seemed inclined to take this view of the case, but gave General Butler until this afternoon to hand in his brief, and said he would decide the ques- tion on law points tomorrow.

DR. GRAVES DENIAL.
He Says He Did Not Send a Bottle of
 whisLey to Mrs. Barnaby.

DENVER, Col, May 14.-Dr. Graves makes a statement in which he emphati- cally denies that he ever admitted send ing bottle of whiskey to Mrs. Barnaby. He says he did not know he was accused of poisoning Mrs. Barnaby until he reached Denver.
 He has employed Judge Furman as his counsel, and under his advice Dr. Graves has refused to appear before the grand jury. Judge Belford, one of the counsel in the famous Millington case, has been employed by the friends of Mrs. Barnaby.
 It is extremely probable that the grand jury will indict Dr. Graves, in which case Judge Furman says he will demand an immediate trial.

THE TRIP ABANDONED.
1t Would Cost Too Much to Take the Sena-
 tors to Alaska.

WAsHINGToN, May 14-The Senate Committee on Territories, which was contemplating trip to Alaska this sum- mer, has abandoned it on account of the expense it would involve.
 It was intended originally to use a gov ernment boat, but there were so many objections to this that it was given up. Then the Oregon Railway & Nav igation Company was asked to name q rate for the charter of a boat for 80 days, but the price asked, $22, ,000, was so great that Senator Cullom, the acting chairm an of the committee, as we'll as Senator Platt |, decided that it was beyond the commit tees means. The committee may go to the Pacific coast during the summer, but this has not been determined.

R. J. LA FONZO, M. D., Specialist in Chronic Diseases
 that are curab!e in both sexes.
What are Chronic Diseases 2

Chronic Diseases are habits. Every body Is aware of the force of habits: how enduring they are, how difficult to change them. This is why parents so constantly lnculcate upon their children habits of order, cleanliness, truthfulness, obedience. etc. The constant repitition of an action forms this powerful, persistent, well-nigh interchangeable characteristic that is termed haOlt; Just Ill the same way, in the physi- cal frame, does the diseased organs, when the abnormal state is long continued as- sume this diseased action as its habits, It has its organs, like a habit, in continuance of unhealthy action; it acquires the in tense hold and grasp of habit, and thus at length, passes into the very character of nature itself--diseased nature And now. remedies which, in the acute stage, would have been sufficient, are found utterly inappropriate and inefficient From this necessary brief statement it will be seen that the treatment of Chronic Diseases may well constitute special branch of the medical profession, as the surgeon is distinguished from the physician. Chronic Diseases are peculiar in their obscurity and obstinacy, therefore, their diagnosis and treatment are peculiar; and hence there must be corresponding peculiar sagacity, springing from natural endow- ment, sharpeued by careful study, and in- structed by long and widely extended experience, to discern rightly the source from which these CHRONIC COMPLAINTS have arisen, the course they have run, and the essential features of the stape at which they have arrived.
