Ways of Armeniaps.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10-Tbe reported
action OF Minister Terrell in demanding the
release of two Armenians imprisoned by
the Turkish government does not surprise
the State Department. AS it is expressed
there: The Armenian question We nave
always with US" They have. however. no
Information of any threat by Terrell TO
send for an ironclad. The Armenians in
the United States recently have been con-
Quoting an organized agitation for the pro-
lection OF naturalized Armenians from the
exactions of the Turkish government.
There are a large number of these cases
before the State Department, and there is
more than a suspicion in some Of them
that there is an abuse of the privileges of
American citizenship. The Indications are
that some or these men are now over here
simply to secure citizenship and then go
back TO live in Turkey with the purpose Of
securing protection from the United States
government. This is accorded them on be-
ing demanded. The Turkish government
does not recognize the expatriation of its
subjects. but keeps those who claim Amer
lean citizenship in prison until they can
be depOrted.

AT THE THEATER.
In Old Kentuoky's First Appearance in
Savannah.

In Old Kentucky was presented at the
theater last night before well filed
house. The play is melodrama.
The first act discloses Madge Brierly's
cottage in the Kentucky mountains. a
set which reflects the greatest credit on
the stage carpenter. 1t is vigorous, novel
and picturesque. II here that the hero.
Frank Layson, is nearly shot by a jeal-
Gus rival, and where the rivals for Madge's
love endeavor to throw each other over
the precipice, and where an attempt Is
made to blow Layson UP with dynamite
Madge saves him by fearlessly swinging
across the gulf by means of a rope when
the drawbridge fails her, and throw
ing the bomb into the chasm. There is
thrilling spectacle as the explosion shat
tiers the walls of the gorge and tears up the
ground. This scene is clcverly constructed
and admirably worked.
Then there is capital picture of Frank
Layson's blue grass home and the home
of Queen Bess," a mare that is to run
for the Ashland Oaks at the Lexington
races. In this scene the picaninnies ap-
pear in some original and grotesque negro
dances. This act ends with an attempt
TO get at" the mare, and a successful
endeavor to fire the stable. AS the flames
shoot forth and the smoke drives back the
rescuers, Madge dashes into the stable
and brings out the mare just as the burn
ing roof comes to the ground.
In the third act there are FIVE scenes, the
principal being the interior and exterior
of the paddock on Lexington race course.
The hero win be ruined unless Queen
Bess" wins the Ashland Oaks, and, as the
Jockey is drunk, Madge dons full jockey
costume. She seems somewhat ashamed
to appear in boys clothing, but to save
her lover she rides the mare to victory.
The play abounds in excellent comedy
and is wonderfully brisk in action. Lizzie
Evans, who is favorably remembered as a
bright soubrette, gave clever portrayal
of the Kentucky mountain girl e. l..
Lauder made a manly Joe Lorey; Gus
Frankel, as the old darby Neb, deserves
credit for giving a most faithful char
acterization, while Col. Sandusky Doolit-
tie, as played by II. b. Bradley, was a
strong favorite with the audience. A

TACoMA's CAvE-IN.
ALI the Artifcially MAIDS Ground Apt
TO Float From It's Moorines.

Tacoma, Wash, Nov. S0.-It now ap-
pears that all the artincially made ground
comprising the Northern Pacific terminal
grounds in this city may float from its
moorings. At II o'clock last night an
other cave-in occurred at the northern
end of the yard, carrying away lbs feet of
the Northern Pacific Puget Sound ware
house, where the wharf had fallen the
night before. Fortunately the freight
had all been moved during the day The
warehouse is now hanging over the brink
but with forty feet of it left intact A
large crack has made it's appearance
about fifty feet in front of the warehouse.
Indications point to a general cave-in of
all the artificially made land at the north
end of the yard. Should such prove the
CASE the damage ensuing would be
enormous. The Northern Pacific rail
road and the Tacoma Land Company
for years have been filing in this prop
erty by sluices from the neighborng hills,
but failed to secure it properly with pill
ing or a sea wall. The additional damage
to the ware house by last nights cave-in
is estimated at $1,000.

NO WAR OVER NICARAGUA.
England Mobiles Her Position and the
Outlook is Clearer.

The Nicaraguan situation has suddenly
modified for the better. A cable dispatch
from London says the statement that
Great Britain refused TO recognize the
new Nicaraguan government at Bluefields
Is most positively denied The question
was not one of the sovereignty of Me
aragua over the Mosquito coast, which
Great Britain had already acknowledged
in a treaty, but of the rights of self gov
ernment secured TO the Mosquito Indians
under that treaty.
Gen. Barrios, the special envoy of Mic
aragua to Great Britain, and Senior Girls
ante, the new Nicaraguan minister, were
given an audience to-day by the queen at
Windsor Castle, when the latter presented
his credentials.
The modified attitude of Great Britain
toward Nicaragua is attributable, in the
opinion of naval officers, solely to the pos
tive determination of the United States
to maintain its announced principles
through the mobilization of warships IL
necessary, rather than by a recourse to
the slow and unsatisfactory methods of
diplomacy hithereto employed.
The cruiser Columbia arrived at Cal
mamra, Cuba, Nov Is, and although this
fact was cabled to the navy department
day before yesterday the fact was not
made public until this morning
The department also made public this
morning cablegram from Commander
Royal, Jamaica, stating that his ship
would leave at once for Hampton Roads,
Va. This. IL is assumed. is in response to
cable instructions sent yesterday after the
changed condition of affairs developed.
Washington, Nov. CDR. Guzman. the
Nicaraguan minister, has received a cable
gram from the president of the republic.
which, in the minister's opinion, settles
the troubles in Sarogna so far as the
Mosquito Indians are concerned. DR.. Guz-
mans cablegram states that a conven-
ton of the Mosquito Indians at Blue
fields unanimously agreed to abandon
their claims to independence of Nicaragua
and to incorporate themselves in the fu-
ture as citizens of the republic. DR.. Guz-
mans cablegram contained no hint that
this action was not voluntary. 1t has
been known. on the contrary. for some
weeks that a convention was to be held
since a call was extensively circulated
throughout the Mosquito country, and
their action is regarded as an indication
that the future welfare and pros
perity of themselves in Nicaragua
depends upon their becoming part of the
republic in the same manner and to the
same extent as other citizens of Mica
ragua. DR.. Guzman believes that the con-
vention's action viii settle forever the
question of the chiefships of the tribe,
and that hereafter that post will be va
Gated as a necessary result of their in
corporation with Nicaragua.

a nnow-White bird That Had m Affection
for Had Mon.
Il can recall strange incident
that has never found its way into
print" said member of the New
York congressional delegation. 1T
happened In Long Island, in the
Queens County Jail, and, to say the
least, Is tinged with strangencss.
Patrick Casey. a Long Island City
policeman, was an inmate OF the jail,
under the sentence of death for the de-
liberate murder of Sergt Cumisky.
The esent1representativ in Con-
gress fromutbe First Congressional
District, New York, James w.
Covert, was Casey's counsel, and sue
ceeded in having the sentence CON-
muted to Imprisonment for life. On
the day Casey was sentenced to death
a pure-white dove flew In the court
room window and alighted on his
shoulder.
"The dove refused to be moved, &C
companied Casey back to his cell, and
became his constant companion. At
the same time Charles Rugg, the no.
torious negro murderer, was also an
inmate of the Jail, awaiting trial for
the murder of Mrs. Lydia Maybee
and her daughter. Just previous to
the day set for his trial Rugg escaped
from the jail, but two days later was
captured and returned to the jail.
The day Of his capture was the day
Get for Casey's removal to Sing Sing
to serve out his life sentence. AS he
was being taken from the jail and
while in the sheriff's Office being pre-
pared for his journey Rugg was led In
by his captors. All this time the
dove had been perched on Casey's
shoulder, but as soon as Rugg was led
in the dove flew from Casey's shoulder
over to Riggs, alighting on his shout
der, cooling as il it had found a long
lost friend.
"All efforts on the part OF Casey to
call it back again we're in vain, and
as Rugg was led back to the cell from
which he escaped the dove went with
him. 1t remained with him up to
the morning of the execution. On
that morning, as Rugg marched up
to the scaffoid, the dove was perched
an his shoulder and remained there
until the black cap was drawn over
his face. AS soon as that was done
the dove flew out of one of the jail
windows, and was never seen around
the jail again."
