MAY DECIDE TODAY.
The Wardenship of the Jail VIII Prob
ably He Settled.

Although the court has not, so far as
can De learned. given any intimation that,
as a result Of its recent investigation OF
warden Burke's management of the Dis
tr1ct jail, successor to Major Burke will
be appointed by the court. the impression
still remains general about the city hall
that Warden Burke's removal has been
virtually decided upon, and that the only
reason the courts decision has not been
ofncially declared is because the members
or the court have so far been unable to
agree upon his successor. The rumor that
Major Burke has notified the court that he
Will resign upon the selection of his sue
cesSor was again heard today, but 1t is
understood that the warden will not talk
at all about the matter. and as he could
not De seen today, there was no opportun-
ity presented for getting him to either deny
or affirm the truth of the story. The war
uen friends state, however, that he feels
that there is no occasion for him to volun
tarlly tender his resigna ton, and that he
VIII decline to resign, even though the
court should ask him to do 50.
beyond the mere statement that there
Is nothing new in the matter and that
nothing has yet been done nv the court,
the judges decline to further express them
selves They also state that it is just now
impossible to say definitely when the result
OF their investigation will be announced
maintaining more than the usual charac-
teristic judicial secrecy in the matter. Ex-
cepting the possible decision that a
change should be made in the wardenship,
1t is more than probably true that, as stat
ed by several members of the court, roth
ing more has been decided upon.
1t was understood today hat the six
members of the court would meet al 8

She Encountered a Terrific TyphOon
I'm the China Sen.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. March 13.-The
United States man-of-war Marion, which
should have been well on her way to this
port, is at Yokohama undergoing extensive
repairs. About fortnight ago cable
gram was received here from Yokohama
saying that the vessel had sailed, but had
been obliged to return for repairs.
The steamer Gaelic, which has arrived
from the orient, brings news that the dam
age was very serious. Two days after the
Marion left Yokohama the vessel encoun-
tered a terrific typhoon in the China So a,
which nearly wrecked her. A long time she
was on her beam ends, and a portion OF
the rigging was carried away and heavy
seas swept over her, cutting the deck
houses aid setting everything on deck
awash. The water poured into the cabins
and down into the engine rooms, and the
boilers were washed from their fastenings.
The fires were extinguished as quickly as
possible, and the man-of-war scudded along
under bare poles before the wind. She rode
safely through the storm and sailed back
to Yokohama.
The full extent OF the repairs TO be made
was not known when the Gaelic sailed, but
II Is estimated that she will be On dock for
at least two months.

THE BI.UEFIELDS INCIDENT.
Believed That the United States VIII
lie Involved.

From advices received at the State De-
partment and at the Nicaraguan legation
ii is made clear that the British troops
were landed at Bluefields not merely to
protect the lives and property of British
subjects, but with view also to the pro-
lection of the Mosquito government In
addition to handing the troops the British
consul, to whom the Mosquitoes had ap-
pealed addressed a very curt note to the
resident Nicaraguan commissioner, accus-
ing the Nicaraguans of breaking their
treaty with England, asserting an intention
of holding them strictly to account, and
insisting on non-interference with the Mos
quitos. The Ntcaraguans are said to be
dc eply Inundated, and assert that the Brit
fSh have themselves broken the treaty in
depriving Nicaragua OF the sovereignty
ever the Mosquito coast which was ceded
by the treaty. Should these advices be
officially confirmed by United States Min
lister Baker, il is hard to see how the United
States can avoid being drawn into the diff
Guilty. There is reason to believe that al
eady the attention of Secretary Gresham
has been officially called to the subject by
DR.. Guzman, the Nicaraguan minister The
British troops having been withdrawn. as
stated in yesterdays Star, there is not the
same necessity for the presence at Blue
fields of an American man-of-war, and the
matter now has become one for settlement
by the diplomatic representatives.
II SeehS llIdl tile purpose OF tne Nlcara-
guam government in occupying Ruefieids
with an armed force was not to dispossess
the Mosquito officials OF interfere with any
OF the privileges guaranteed by the treaty
of 1860 with Great Britain. But the pur-
pc Sc was to assert the sovereignty of Mica
Tagua over the Mosquito coast, as guaran-
teed by that treaty. There has been diff
Guilty in the past on this score, and during
the recent revolution in Honduras in which
Nicaragua was involved by backing the
revolutionary party. the NiCaraguan govern
ment was seriously embarrassed in its

lutte refusal of the Biuetields officials to
