The 8unkers OF the Charleston and
Itata Are Nearly Empty
And They VIII Probably 30 Hoard
From Very Soon Now.
Mexlco's Attitude Towards the In
sureents Causing Comment.

WASHINGTON, May 12-Up to the close
business hours no news was received at the
Navy Department Of the movements Of the
Charleston. As far as the officials there
know, the Itata Is still at liberty. Commo-
dore Ramsay, the acting secretary, this al
ternoon said that he did not know where the
Charleston was. The only news the depart-
ment received today was Of the arrival Of
the cruiser San Francisco at Iquique, In
northern Chilli As this vessel Is to figure In
the chase In case the Itata escapes the
Charleston, her movements are of some im-
portance. As the days OF the chase run
along, new factor appears, which win
doubtless result in Detraying the movements
OF the pursuer and pursued. The Itata start
ed from San Diego six days ago, and Ii
pushed to her highest speed must be nearly
OUT OF coal, so that she must soon pa. iL.a
port somewhere to replenlsh her bunkers
The Charleston was obliged TO sacrifice some
coal carrying capacity for boiler and engine
rooms and gun carrying capacity. With full
been driven at full speed she must have
burned 10 tons Ia "a hours. This would
give full steam power for four and one-half
days, and she has now been out three days
and half, although she lay at anchor at
least one night, her coal supply Is probably
running so low that IL would be hazardous
for her, vessel without sail power, TO con
tlnue much longer at sea. Some news from
one or both vessels may be expected very

arise an Important question for the determi-
nation OF the Mexican government That Is,
tue status OF the ltata. Some comment has
been caused among the state department
people by the telegraphed statement that the
Chilian insurgent cruiser Esmeralda Is now
at Acapulco. The fact that her presence In
the port Is tolerated Is regarded here, by some
officers, as quasi recognition by the Mexi-
can government OF the insurgents as belllg-
erents. III this recognition should take for.

DETROIT, May 1.-THE hoped for security
from the recent rain did not materialize for
the panic-stricken inhabitants of the burned
district In this state Some idea of the vast
ness of the fire district can be gained from
the fact that almost any two of the dozen
counties now filed with fire are as large as
the whole state of Rhode Island. The
Toledo, Ann Arbor and Northern Michigan
railroad has been obliged to abandon all at
tempts to run cars north of the Glare county
line. A freight train and its crew had a
narrow escape from cremation yesterday.
The ties In many places were so badly
burned that the rails spread when the train
went over When near Moore's Siding. a
car in the centre of the train was deraiied.
The crew were obliged to abandon the rear
part of the train after working until the cars
began to smoke. Before they reached Far
well there was another derailment and all
but three cars of the train of twenty eight
were left to their fate. Three trainmen
were badly blistered.
The wind has shifted and driven the fire
to the southwest into Newaygo, Mecosta and
Oceana counties. Co0k'a Station and Barton,
both in the line Of the fire, have not been
destroyed. West Troy. few miles north of
Otia, has been environed by fire since early
yesterday morning and is supposed to be in
ashes Reports from Cadillac, Wexford
county. state that the inhabitants of all the
villages in the county have been out fighting
fire three days. Many smaller places
have been wiped off the face of the earth.
Where Nivarua and Fremont, on the Flint
and Pere Marquette road once stood, is moth
Ing now but piles of ashes. The village of
Lake has not been heard from since its last
appeal for help. .fhe fire is sweeping
through the woods near Red Cloud, NewaygO
County, and more than 100 miles away across
the state the little hamlet of Taft Is In gulf
Of fame. Norton. Wexford county, above
Cordellac, is cut off from communication
with the outside world. The latest news
from Traverse City is to the effect that the
entire population is out fighting the fire.

WITHIN APPROPRIATIONS.
Pension Bureau Finances In a satIs-
factory Condition.

WASHINGTON. May 12.-Commissioner
Raum of the pension bureau has written a
letter to Secretary Noble calling attention to
the very material decrease in the payment on
account OF pensions during the present fiscal
year. II have caused an examination Of the
accounts currant Of the several pension
agents for the present fiscal year." he says,
land made careful approximation of the
probable payments for April, May and June.
l have reached the conclusion that the entire
payments for army pensions during the pres
ent fiscal year will not exceed Si16, ,OO0. 900.
Inc total appropriation for lthis service was
$l25. 769,093. l have instructed pension
agents to use the greatest diligence possible
In securing as many pension vouchers as
possible during June so as to have as small
number of claims to go over into the next
fiscal year as possible, In order that the
smallest possible amount may be carried
over from the present fiscal year to be paid
cut Of the appropriation for the next fiscal
year. An allowance of great number of
claims nuder the act of June q, 1890, has SO
reduced the amount of the first payments on
pension certificates. as to bring about the
favorable results l have the honor Of bring
ing to your attention"

Lodge at West cumb srIand.

The quarterly session OF Cumberland
County District Lodge of Good Templars
was held at West Cumberland yesterday
with Diadem Lodge.
The session was called to order by ID. T.
Craig. A number of delegates were initial
ed in the District degree.
The report Of District Secretary, Mrs. En-
lily Z. knight Of Deering, shows that the
district Is holding its own. That Of the
District Treasurer W. II. Pearson. shows a
good working balance Of cash still to its
credit.
An noon time an adjournment to the ban
quet hall convinced the members that the
good people of Cumberland knew how to ad-
bountiful repast had been prepared.
About the first business of the afternoon
session was to settle on the location Of the
August meeting, and 1t was voted to meet
August 10th with Seaside Lodge Of South
Portland.
The following resolutions were presented
by the committee:
Resolved. That the continued efforts Of Sheriff
Leander Cram for the suppression OF the liquor
reahirm our appreciation ana support.
Resolved, That we exhort each and every Good
Tempar to take personal interest In building up
the order and In furthering the Cause Of temper
ance; that We strive to make our order a frater-
nal as well as social and temperance organiza

Resolved. That II the District Council as body,
were 10 visit the lodges In the district 1t would be
for the good OF the order, and that the District
Templar be thanked for his individual efforts In

hundreds of thousands OF Good Templars OF the
United States sail tomorrow TO attend the Right
Worthy Grand Lodge at Edlnburg, Scotland,
ant voyage and profitable session, and that they
Will return with new Zeal to further the good
work OF temperance.
1t was suggested by the Lodge Deputy
that the latter resolution be sent to Scotland
in order that the members may know that
their work is appreciated and that they are
not forgotten.
A lively discussion on the question Of
raising the per capita tax of the Grand
Lodge, occupied some time. The question
Is TO be voted on at the autumn session of
the Grand Lodge In South Paris.
Through some misunderstanding a majori-
ty of the members could not stay to the pub
lie meeting In the evening, there being no
means Of transportation to the city after
30. The session, therefore. adjourned at
an early hour after passing q resolution of
thauBs to Diadem Lodge.
