HIaaINsoN,s REMOVAL.
No Truth in the Story That Secretary
Herbert Apologized to Him.

Washington, Sept. 25.-Secretary Her
bert to-day gave to the press the cores
pondence relating to the removal of Capt.
Higginson from the command of the
United States Steamship Atlanta. The
statement that Secretary Her.
bert had apOlogized to Capt.
Higginson for removing him
from duty and offered to restore him TO
command upon his own application is not
borne out by the facts, and it is especially
denied that Capt Higginson is entitled
to the credit of having dis
closed to the department the condition
of the Atlanta when the vessel was or
dered. The letters embrace full history
of this well-known case and the conclu-
sion of the matter is that Secretary
Herbert accepts the apologies and
explanations of Captain Hugginson and
says that his connection with the matter
will not be permitted to prevent his being
assigned TO such duty as his rank en-
titles him to perform when the oppor-
tunity Offers

of California which are well suited TO the pro-

Red ana White wines, th would prove equally
satisfactory.

CALIFORNIA WINES ARE GOOD

Famous British Expert.

however, can be produced when the de-
mand justifies it, as there are still coDsid-
cradle tracts OF land suitable for vine
culture implanted. Owing to the fact
that the soil amt innate in the best wine
districts of California resemble closely
those OF some of the finest in France, and
also that the vines grown there are the
same the wines frequently resemble IN
many points their weli-known European
namesakes. Among tie ordinary and M 3D.
erate-priced wines / think there are large
number that are well suited to the Engiis b
market
