Moledno was never known as a Consul

Consul is located at Ariquipa. Meyer,

German resident of Moledno, who had

NATIONAL FINANCES.
A Statement From the President on
the Situation.

A Statement From the President on
the Situation.
WASHINGTON, April 23.-To a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press the
President said: "The inclination on the
part of the public to accept the newspa-
per reports concerning the intentions of
those charged with the management of
our national finances seems to Justify
my emphatic contradiction of the state
ment that the redemption of any kind of
treasury notes except in gold has at any
time been determined upon or contem-
plated by the Secretary of the Treasury
or any other member of the present Ad-
ministration. The President and Cabinet
are absolutely harmonious in their de-
termination to exercise every power con-
ferred upon them to maintain public
credit, keep public faith and preserve the
parity between gold and silver, and be-
tween all financial obligations of the
Government.
"While the law of 1890 forcing the pur-
chase of a fixed amount of silver every
month provides that the Secretary of the
Treasury, in his discretion, may redeem
in either gold or silver treasury notes
given in payment of silver purchases, vet
the declaration of the policy of the Gov
ment to maintain the parity between the
two metals seems SO clearly to regulate
this discretion as to dictate their re-
demption in gold. OF course, perplexity
and difficulties have grown out of the
unfortunate financial policy which we
found in vogue. and embarrassments
which have arisen from ill-advised
financial legislation are confronting us at
every turn, but with cheerful confidence
among the people and patriotic dispo-
sition to cooperate, the threatened
dangers will be averted, pending legisla-
tive return to better and solder finan-
cial plan. The strong credit of the coun-
try is still unimpaired, and the good
sense of our people. which never failed
in time of need, is at hand to save us from

way irons melted. Marines and sailors
from two gunboats anchored in the roads
are helping the firemen.
The timber yard in which the fire was
set is owned by the Wade Company, who
employ non-union men. A large section
of the crowd of spectators made no con-
cealment of their delight at the progress
of the fire. They threw stones and other
missiles at the soldiers, firemen and
police. Some went so far as to cut the
hose pipe. AT last reports detachment
of dragons were protecting those who
were fighting the fire.
The value of timber and other property
now in danger is FL, 100000. Three other
fires were started by incendiaries in
Hull this evening. All were discovered
before they got Roadway and were ex-
tinguished.

FORT MONROE (Va.), April 23.-Twenty-
seven ships of war will sail from here at
9 o'clock tomorrow for New York.
! There has been no rest for Admiral Cher
ardi to-day. Signal flags were running
up and down from the yards of the Phil
adelphia and blue-coated messengers
were hurrying in plunge launches from
ship to ship. Several times to-day he has
been upon the bridge of the Philadelphia
viewing with anxious eyes the gathering
clouds and wondering if the gale would
abate. The wind was blowing from the
northeast and was bleak and cold. The
forbidding weather was unfortunate for
the crowds who with the earliest morn
ing boats began swelling the numerous
colony here.
On the Washington boat came Senators
Butler, Gray and Gibson of Maryland
and Representative Mcmillan of Tennes-
see. Arrangements have been made for
these gentlemen to go around with the
fleet to New York. They will be quart
cred on the San Francisco along with
representatives of the press. Nearly
every ship will have a number of civil
ians and correspondents.
Secretary Herbert passed quiet day.
By invitation of the English Admiral he
attended service on the Blake and after
ward inspected the ship. Returning to
the Dolphin, the Secretary entertained
some friends informally at luncheon and
then came ashore.
The Spanish war ships with the cara
vels left this morning. Late this after
noon, however, the sea outside was so
rough that the fleet anchored in Lynn
Haven until the wind abated.
With the arrival of three Brazilian
ships late this evening the entire foreign
contingent are accounted for, except the
Russian Vice-Admiral, who is still
among the missing.

Clash Between Dock Laborers and Po-
lice at Hull.
LONDON, April 23.-The police in Hull
arrested a drunken decker last evening.
A mob of strikers stopped them on their
way to the station. The police fought
them off, and sent for achievements.
When the police reinforcements arrived
more than 1000 men had gathered, armed
with stones, clubs and few revolvers.
The police drew their batons and dubbed
right and left, and divided the mob so
the officers could proceed to the station.
After the drunken striker was removed
the others charged the police repeatedly.
They were forced into side streets, where
they rallied again to attack. More police
were called out, and more strikers were
attracted by the uproar. The wounded
men on both sides were carried away,
and the strikers obtained new supply of
boat hooks, cudgels and split planks
The struggle was carried into every
street and alleyway. The lockers who
had gone to bed hurried half-dressed
from their houses to join in the fight.
Windows were smashed and doors bat
tered down.
AT Dry Pool dock mob tried to storm
the steamer Right. Fifty police defended
it for forty minutes, and then with the
aid of thirty more put the rioters to
flight. The fighting lasted into the morn
ing. Only six strikers were arrested.

SAN Francisco, April %. - Experts
have ascertained that the exact amount
of the shortage of Clerk L. h. Royce, late
Treasurer of the Veterans Home Asscia-
ton, is $4,000. Boyce has not been ar
res ed. and it is said will not be if he
makes restitution. He was under no
bonds, however, and the directors of the

threaten criminal prosecution, as Royce

Royce had been supposed to have had a

$4,000 which he obtained as attorney for

that he has already assigned that claim to
others.

ton under bonds TOR the faithful perform
ance of their duty.

ORANGE RIOTS AT BELFAST.
The Police Have Difficulty In Quelling
the Disturbances.

the Disturbances.
LONDON, April 23.-Orange riots broke
out in Belfast last night and continued
until late this morning, and was especi-
ally severe in the notorious Shank Hill
district. At midnight the Orange mob
put out the street lights and shortly after
ward attacked tavern kept by Roman
Catholic named Connolly. They smashed
in the windows and doors, looted the
store-rooms and liquor vault, drove out
Connolly and his family and endeavored
to burn down the building. The police
were out in force and before the mob
could get the fire well started drove them
off and extinguished the flames.
The rioters then tried to invade the
Catholic quarter, where the Nationalists
were celebrating the second reading of
the home rule bill by burning tar barrels.
\ strong line of policemen held them
back. a crowd of Nationalists gathered,
and the two parties stoned each other
over the heads of the Coustables. The
conflict became so hot eventually that the
police were obliged to drive back the two
mobs by repeated charges.
The whole district was in such riot
Gus mood before 3 o'clock that a company
from the Dorsetshire Regiment was
brought up. Who ordered the military
cannot be learned. The police refused to
accept their assistance, as they commended
that they were able to cope with the
mobs. The military marched away, and
soon afterward the mobs were dispersed
by means of some heavy clubbing.
Twenty or more rioters were arrested.
Several more attempts were made this
morning to mob the Nationalists, but
were defeated by the police. This evening
Orangemen are looking for another OPP
portunity to fight the Nationalists. Dis
orderly crowds are still in the streets.

Judge Catlin on Saturday announced
his decision in the contempt of court pro-
ceedings against District Attorney Ryan,
Under Sheriff Stephen Rooney and Dep
uty Sheriff NJ. Fay. The decision was
quite long, and covers all the facts in the
case.
Judge Catlin held that the officers acted
without the sanction of the law in rear
resting Graham after he had ordered his
discharge on habeas corpus. A prior
charge to the one on hearing did not, he
held, warrant any such proceeding. In
conclusion he said:
$40 overlook or excuse such conduct
on the part of either of the three officials
named would be gross dereliction of
duty on the part of this court. 1 there
fore hold each of them guilty of a con-
tempt OF this court.''
He then fined District Attorney RYAN
$50, and Messrs. Rooney and Fay SIS
each. The fines were Immediately paid.
