Won HELMS CLEAR.
First Officer Gallagher Is
Blamed.
Result of the Official Investigation of
the Accident TO the Steamer
NeWbern.

Captain John Won Helms of the ill-fated
onerated by the report of the United States
local inspectors, Messrs. Talbot and Phil
lips, to Supervising Inspector John Ber-
mingham yesterday, hut the first officer, j.
p Gallagher. was blamed for the accident
and his license was suspended for the cur
rent year. Their findings are as follows: !:
Upon passing South Coronado Island at
6:2S ?. NJ. October 13, the NewberD was put
on her regular compass course NWH2 w Tor 81.
Vincent, 100 miles distant, ana was steered
that course up 10 moment before she struck.
II appears that Captain Won Helms retlred
for the night OF October 13 at about O'Clock,
leaving his written orders in the night-order
book, as customary, directing the course TO be
steered. and that he should be called by the
oftleer OF the deck in case OF fog, or meeting
any object, or approaching st. Vincent
Light fOgs and clear weather prevailed until
about A. NJ, when a very dense fog came
down and continued until after the ship struck.
Shortly before A. NJ. j. L. Gallagher, nrst
officer Of the Newbern, who was IN charge OF
the deck. on watch from 2 midnight TO 6 A. M,

the orders OF the latter. as well as that OF the

circumstances; nor did lie slow the speed OF

The testimony shows that the above-stated
course by The steamer Newbern between South
Coronado and Point Vincent was steered (Cap-
tain Won helms in command) on fifty preced-
Ing voyages. taking her Tour miles outside OI
the point named.
From this fact 1t is conclusive that the New

unusually strong current in those waters, and
this opinion is corroborated by the testimony of
his experience with such current on two re-
cent trips of That steamer In the same locality,

For the reason OF the first officers neglect OF
duty in falling 10 call the captain and for not
slowing the speed OF the Newbern In the dense
fog, as required by section 4233, Unled States
Revised Statutes, we have suspended his
license as master and pilot Of steam vessels for
the remainder of the current year.
We can attach no blame to Captain John Won
Helms in connection with the loss of the New
bern, and he is this date accordingly ex-
Onerated.

The Aquarium.
Ladies Home Journal.

The little old-fashioned ''globes' for goldfish are disappearing, and so are the tanks made of window-glass ce- mentcd into a zinc or iron frame. The modern aquarium is cubical in form, and is made of a single piece of glass, without joints or metal with about one fish to each half gallon. The bottom is covered with pebbles and sand to a depth of an inch and half, and in it are rooted water-plants that not only add to the beauty of the aquarium but absorb impurities and keep the water clear. If plants enough are used it is sufficient to add cupful of water once a week to replace what has evaporated. If there are not plants enough the fish will stay at the surface and gasp until the water is changed. In marine aquaria algae are used and anemones and other beautiful forms of sea life thrive. They are as easy to maintain as freshwater aquaria, because, as salt does not evaporate, they only need oc- casional additions of fresh waterloo troit Free Press.

 Sweetheart, twas but awhile ago-it scarce
 seems yesterday, Though now my locks arc white as snow and
 all your curls arc gray When, walking in the twilight haze, ere stars
 had smiled above, I whispered soft: "I love you" and you kissed
 me for that love. The first kiss, dear! and then your hand-your
 little hand so sweet, And whitcr than tho white white sand that
 twinlilcd meath your fcCt- Laid tcndsrly within my ownl Have queens
 such lovely hands? No wonder that tho whip-poor-wills made swco

 seemed singing for your sake; And every rose that barred tho way in glad and
 dying grace, Forgot its faded summer day, and. leaning,
 kissed your facoi l cnvicd all tho roses then, and all the rosy
 ways That hlossomCd for your sake arc still my life's
 bright yesterdays; But thinking Of that first sweet kiss and that

A FEAST OF RIDDLES.
A Unique Luncheon as Pleasant aS 1t Was
 Novel.

Novel.
 unique luncheon was given recent y at the house of a lady whose friends have named her ''The Goddess of Hos pitality," from her frequent entertain ments and the enjoyment she seemed to take in gathering her friends about her under delightful conditions.
 The invitations were issued for a "Conundrum Luncheon" and were rid dles in themselves, and the recipients wondered how such an idea would find expression.
 At table each lady found at her place wild rose or sweet-brier blossom painted upon Watman paper, about the size of the palm of the hand, and cut out following the outline of the flower. The reverse side of the blossom was also painted with it's calyx and part of the stem, and cut into shape. These formed the covers of a little book con- taining about a dozen leaves. A drop of mucilage between each leaf held all firmly together at the edge of one of the left-hand petals.
 Oysters were already on the table when the guests assem mbled, but on each leaf of the little flower books was conundrum in verse, the answer to which would give the name of each course in turn, thus furnishing a novel menu. While enjoying one course the ladies amuse themselves by trying to guess the one next in order, and the answers were in each case correctly given before it's appearance.
 The following was the menu selected for this occasion, but it will require only very slender rhyming faculty to adapt the idea to any other choice of dishes. The riddles in this case were composed, with one exception by the hostess.
 The bouillon was thus suggested:

I'm certain, And am the last of the namo The lobster la Ncwburg: Black and ugly we lived, But no sooner are dead That we turn for your pleasure beautiful red And are martyred by thousands That you may be fed.

Gang of Robbers Caught Through the
 Running Over of One by a Locomotive.
 PTTTsBURG, May 20.-Charles Mylan was run down and killed by a train here last Wedneday. The body was examined at the morgue and a revolver, mask and burglars outfit were found. When killed Mylan was accompanied by his brother and man whose name is not known. B. c. Mylan, the brother, has now been placed under arrest.
 The evidence secured is to the effect that the men are members of gang of thieves that have been operating along the Line of the Pittsburg, Virginia & Charleston rail road for several months. The gang have been bold to remarkable degree. Mylan was identified by trainmen, and upon his person was found watch, the prop erty of a brakeman. He was locked up on seven charges of highway robbery.
 Mylan refuses to talk. Detectives are hunting for the missing companion of My Ian and more sensational developments are expected.

THE NICARAGUA WAR
An Armistice is Thought to
 Have Been Formed.
CREDITED AT STATE DEPARI MeNT

Warner Miller Has News that His Canal
 is in the Hands of the Rebels Cruisers [ Atlanta and Alliance Will Soon Be at
 Hand to Look Out for Our Interests.
 NEW YORK, May 0-Information from Washington states that unofficial advices have been received at the State Depart ment that an agreement for an armistice has been reached bp the government and the revolutionary factions in Nicaragua. The source of the news is concealed, be- yond the fact that it did not come direct to Secretary Gresham from Nicaragua. Evidently, however, the source is one en- titled to credit, as the news is accepted as authentic by the department The ab- sence of direct advices from Nicaragua is regarded as almost inexplicable.
 It is expected that the cruiser Atlanta will reach Greytown in a day or two and the Alliance will probably be a few days later in reaching the west coast of Nicar agua, where most of the fighting has taken place.
 EX-Sen ator Warner Miller, president of the Nicaragua Canal Company has re- ceived full confirmation of the revolution ists in Nicaragua are in possession of Grey town and practically the entire country with the exception of a small strip above that point, and that they are proceeding to appoint their own government.
 MT. Miller also stated that there Wa S q rumor that a full armistice had been C. clared, but this point lacked confirmation as yet The changes in the government, whatever they might be- he said, would in no way affect the affairs of the Nicaragua Canal Company.

IEULALIE IN WASHINGTON
Her Reception By People and Officials
 Where She Lives.


 Where She Lives.
 WASHINGTON, May 20.-Shortly after Il o'clock this morning the Infanta and her husband accompanied by Commander Davis, the always present government es- cort, were taken by Secretary Gresham in carriages over to the White House and paid her respects to the President and re- ceived the National welcome of the Chief Executive and his wife.
 The programme for the stay of the Princess in the city had not yet been set tled as the Infanta herself must be con- suited in regard to it. She is expected to take drive about the city this afternoon and have points and places of interest pointed out to her. This evening she will spend in her quarters in the Arlington, and tomorrow morning will attend mass in the big Catholic church.
 The princess was much pleased with the trip from Jersey City to the Capital, the elegant travelling facilities being some- thing new to her. Secretary Gresham and Assistant Secretary Quincy came shortly after the arrival of her train in Mir. Gres- hams carriage, which was followed by a handsome barouche drawn by four mag niiccnt bay horses. It was President Clevelands carriage and the Presidents cOachmau, with a brand new footman on the box. The carriage conveyed the Spanish representative, seated by Secretary Gresham to her apartments ill the ArlinS- ton hotel annex.
 The crowds were something enormous, and the Princess looked pleased as she the throng that had gathered to re- ceive her. She chatted gaily in English with MT. Gresham all the while.
 Four buglerS on horseback led, and with the four troops of cavalry, one of which was composed of Colored soldiers from the "Fighting Ninth," formed the escort for the royal party. Six sargeants of cav airy acted Hs body-guar to the Princess, and the following carriages containing her
