Public.


WASHINGTON, Feb 9 2-Secretary Her
bert Thursday made public the dis-
patch received from Admiral Benham
Monday night telling of the trouble
with Da Cana, as follows:
"Rro JANEIRo, Jan. 30. Secretary oe
the navy, Washington, d. c.: Tive
American merchant vessels Saturday
were prevented from going alongside
the wharf. To-day at a. IN. sent
the Detroit to take position that would
protect vessels going alongside the
wharf and If fired upon to return fire.
NV vessels are under way and cleared
for action.
After the Detroit took position q
boat from one vessel running line
preparatory to haul in was fred upon
with muskets from an insurgent ship
The Detroit returned the fire with a
one-pounder, the shot striking under
her bow. The insurgents fred broad.
side guns leeward. Later the insurs
gents fred broadside gun over the
American merchant vessels.
Detroit returned fire with muskel
striking insurgent sternpost. Passing
by insurgent he was hailed, saying:
If you fire again, will return
your fire; and, if necessary, will
sink YOU Detroit anchored to
command both vessels, one merchan
vessel having been carried to II new
position near the wharf, tug having
offered it's service gratuitously, to dis.
charge cargo. Insurgent leader was
| noJified these vessels would discharge
from the present positions, but that
my determination was not changed
to give American merchant vessels full
protection to the wharf if they desire
| to 60"
Minister Thompson's detailed report
| of Admiral Benham's action was also
received. An abstract Of it shows that
| the Detroit did fire into the insurgents,
and that Commander Brownson threat
ened to sink an insurgent ship if the
, fire was returned. Every thing is now
quiet at Rio, and matters are progress
| ing smoothly. The blockade has been
broken, and all merchant vessels can
be unloaded at the wharves.
Admiral Benham has informed Da
Cana that any attempt to search mer
! chantmen will be considered as an act
of piracy and the insurgents will be
treated as pirates.
Secretary Herbert Thursday after
noon sent cable message to Admira
Benham telling him of the receipt o.
Minister Thompson's reports and in
dorsing, in the name of this govern
ment, Admiral Benham's action in pro
tecting American interests and inform
ing him that the future is intrusted t.
his discretion.

when Benham Retires, what !?

WASHINGTON, Feb 5.-The coming
retirement of Admiral Benham in April
gives occasion for much conjecture in
naval circles as to what re-assignments
will be made to fill the vacancies. 1t
is commonly accepted that Admiral
Stanton will go back to Brazil and the
command of the south Atlantic station,
from which he was removed for his sa-
lutte of Mello. 1t has also been sup
posed that Commodore Ramsay, chief
of the bureau of navigation, upon his
promotion to the rank of admiral,
would be given the command of the
north Atlantic station.

Taught in School.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb 1.-Rev. Father
Edward McGlynn, in an interview
here, insists that he has not re-
tracted one word of his opinions

ideas one better and declares that it is
not in the province of priests, monks
and other ecclesiastics to teach any.
thing but religion. The public schools,
when properly conducted, were all that
could be desired. Parochial schools
were improper, for the reason that the
children who attended them were iso.
lated in manner. Religion should be
taught only in churches Sunday
schools and at the mothers knee.

A Good Woman.

A great to do is being made about an actress who used to play the good woman and now plays q bad one. Well am doing exactly the reverse. This is what Lillian Lewis said to our correspondent. l have played the whole game of your Camille and Lena Despard type. and now l am playing good woman; La Tisba is the woman and good byesweetheart is the name of the play
 I can come right out boldly and say it is great play; it is written by Victor Hugo, and ill my opinion the most human and humane work which the French Shakespeare has given the world. Lawrence Marston adapted and arranged Good Bye Sweetheart for me. l think it is a beautiful title; there is something so gentle, so ten ter, so fragrant, so imbued with man and woman about the four words that pleases me. To get the full nel- ody of the title the stress must be laid on the Bye and the Heart
 The last line of the play suggested the title. asked Marston what he thought of it, he jumped npand cried its an inspiration and so Good Bye Sweetheart is the name of ny new p'ay.
 The remarkable thing about this good woman l am going te play is fhatalle isnot built on the regulation IHenii sG the resigned and meek gadE sl0slE .ser0ine, no sir!

P0PULIsTS-KOLBITEs.
The Republicans will Not Fuse With Them,
 but will Kun Straight Ticket.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Feb. S.-The Populists-Kolhite State convention was called to order at noon today. l conference of the members of the Republican Campaign Committee and of representative members of that party from all over the State who are opposed to the Populisy- olbite- Republican coalition against the De- mocracy also opened at the same time. The purpose of this latter conference is to consider the desir- ability of nominating a straight Re publican ticket to be voted for in August. The friends of Gov. Me k'nley and ex-Speaker Reed are favorable to this course, to the end that the organization may be held intact for the next Presidential cleo ton. In his address to the Republi- can committee Secretary Delemos said:
 ''Fhe Republican victory of Nov ember last is notice to the friends of Thomas E. Reed and William Me kinley that the Republicans cannot afford to take any middle ground, but must stand squarely on the platform adopted at Minneapolis protection to American industries and American labor. We must con gratulate ourselves further on onr victory in Kansas, Iowa and other states, where Republicans over Whemingly defeated the Populists and recovered lost ground, which shows that the contest will be be- tween the two national parties. The Democratic party is divided and Re- publicans may hope for victory, if united, in Alabama at the coming election. and will certainly capture several Congressional districts.

HANCOCK BOND
Found at Arkansas City Yesterday Ex- Sheriff silverman no Longer Held
 Accountable

It will be remembered that after Hancock made his escape at Varnor two years ago the bondsmen, Ferd Hayis of this city and Alvah Collier were held as securities and called to court at Warner are Dumas to make good the same. But when the trial came up the bond could not be pro- dueed. This put an entilely new construction upon the affair. Ex- Sheriff Silverman was held account able and accordingly he was sum moned to attend courtat Dumas this week when the case was to be called before Judge Elliott.
 Yesterday morning Attorney Martin received a telegram at Du- mas from Arkansas City stating that the bond had been found there and a transcript would be sent up on the evening train. Ex-Sheriff Silverman was discharged and returned home yesterday afternoon. This clears the Hancock bond mystery.
