FROM PERU.
Peru to do the Square Thing by Uncle
Sam.

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The Peru
Wan Government has taken initiatory
steps towards complying with the de-
mands Of the United States that repara-
ton should be made for the outrage
committed on one of its Consular Agen-
cies in Peru. 1t was not until this
morning that the name of the place at
tackled (Which was omitted in the first
dispatch received from Minister Hicks
notify ing Secretary Gresham of the
affair." was made known at the State
Department. The information was
contained in a cablegram from Minister
Hicks stating that the Consular Agency
attacked is at Mallendo, Peru, and that
in answer to the demand for satisfac-
ton made by the Administration, the
Government of Peru Immediately re-
moved the commander of the depart
ment in which Mallendo is situated,
and promised to provide suitable
.reparation; and furthermore that the
government has expressed it's regrets
for the occurrence. This Information
is entirely satisfactory to the United
States Government. The name of the
Consul Agent at Mallendo, which is
omitted from the dispatches received
from Minister Hicks, is William R.
Griffith. He was appointed from Penn
sylvania, March Both, 1889. s
No news was received by Secretary
Gresham concerning the reported out
rage against a United States Consulate

A MOUNTAIN RACED
A Man, His Wife and two Children
Burned to Death il Their Cabin.

GREENv1LLE, s, G., April II News
reached here to day that the bodies Of
E w. HensIey, his wife q grown
daughter and a II year old son 7
found Monday morning il the ruins0 I
their cabin. They lived three miles
above here on the Bide of Glossy noun
tain, in a remote and secluded section.
The cabin is supposed to have been
burned some time during Sunday night
Investigation is being made, as it is
not thought likely that the family
would have failed TO be aroused by the
fire or would have had any difficulty
in escaping from so small a building.
The scene OF the tragedy is in the
moonshine section, and there is sus
picion that Hensley may have become
involved in some of the family feuds
SO frequent in the mountains and the
family become the victims Of some
enemy's vengeance.

TROUBLE AHEAD IN TENNESSEE
A Fresh Outbreak of Miners Against the
Convicts Expected in May.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. April lit is
quite generally conceded that there is
a possibility for further troublesin the
mining districts in May.
1t Is an open secret that a general
strike is in preparation to take effect
May 1st, and the State, civil and mill
tary authorities are preparing for an
other attack upon the cOnvicts work
ing in the mines.
The positions are being strengthened
and the Notifications and everything
are being put in readiness for an at
tack.
The legislature has passed a bill au-
thorizing the Governor to use the full
force of the State to suppress the dis

It is not believed that the Tennessee
miners are back of the movement to
any great extent, but that agitators
from Kentucky are trying to manipu-
late the threatened strike so as to cause
trouble.

The NEUsE RIVER FISH LAW.

By request of Mr.. I. E Elmore, of
Strabane, n. O., we publish the act
passed by the last legislature repeating
the fish law relating to traps in Neuse
river.
IAN Act to repeal chapter 391, laws
of 1885.
The General Assembly of North
Carolina do enact: Section 1. That
chapter three hundred and ninety one,
laws of one thousand eight hundred
and eighty five be and the same are
hereby repealed.
Sec. 2. This act shall be in force
from and after its ratification. .
Ratified on the 9th day of March,
1898"
By way of explanation will say that
section 1922 of the Code was amended
in 1885 SO as to allow traps between the
Falls of Neuse in Wake county and the
mouth of the river, provided they did
not entirely obsgruct the free passage
of fish up and down the stream. But
the repeal of this amendment does
away with all kinds Of traps.

uiicate OF disinfection by the quarantine
omcer at New York, countersignsd by the
United states marine hospital officer sery-
ing as inspector at the New York uuaran-
tine. This order applies only to the Mas
sllla, which was about to be discharged
from quarantine when the baggage was dis
injected by DR.. Jenkins and countersiened
by Or. kfnyiun of the marine hospital
service. These instructions were issued 10

the commissioner Of immigrat ton at New

Ing received without the proper certifica te.

reau will issue q similar order appiica bic to
