never been enforced, among those com
PEELED to pay license fees to the city for

Spanish Captain Probably Right.


Washington, July 26.-The govern
ment officials here have received no IN
formation regarding the firing on the
schooner Carrie Lane by Spanish war
vessel off Cape Antonio. The general
opinion of naval officers who read the
renort of the affair described by Cap
tain Quick is that the Spaniard did not
exceed his authority i'll overhaullng the
schooner. if the latter was III the terri
tory of Cuba. The Spanish govern
ment is menaced by the danger OF land
ing filibustering expeditions on the Gu
ban coast, and in eXerting itself to pre-
vent such landing has right to over
haul and learn the character OF any
vessel within the three mile limit that
might be expected of having on board
those entertaining designs against the
government or cargo intended for
the insurgents. Captain Quick's story
shows he paid no attention to the man
of-war for an hour or more. This, 1T
is said, probably caused the captain OF
the latter to believe the schooner was
engaged in filibustering methods, and
prompted him to take decisive action
in preventing her escape.

Sacramento, Cal, July 26.-Paul
Steck, of a firm of engineers, machin-
lists, ETC., is in town for the purpose of
forming a stock company to establish
bicycle factory here. He says that
he has obtained satisfactory terms from
Gallatin & Livermore for the use of
electric power from Folsom, and that
the bra zing, heating, drying and other
work in the factory can be done by
electricity, so it will not be necessary
to burn pound of coal. The PROPOSE
ton has been laid before the Industrial
Improvement Association. Since the
introduction of cheap electrical power
into Sacramento the matter of starting
several manufacturing enterprises has
been discussed. Manufacturers In
various parts of the country are writ
ing for particulars of the new power,
the prospects for building sites and
other facts.

SCHOONER FIRED UPON
American Vessel Stopped by
a Spanish Gunboat.
TWO SHOTS WE'RE FIRED AT HER
The Carrie r. Lane Was Boarded by
Marines in Cuban Waters, but
Was AOt Searched.

Breakwater, Del, July 26.--Captain
Quick, of the schooner Carrie E. Lane,
upon her arrival here tonight, had a
tale to tell about thrilling encounter
in Cuban waters with Spanish gun
boat. Two shots were fired at the Lane
by the man of-war, and one of the
schooner's men narrowly escaped be-
ing killed by one of them. The vessel
was made to have to and give an ac-
count of herself before being allowed
TO proceed.
The schooner was off Cape Antonio
and making good time before a stiff
breeze, when, on the 14th inst, she
sighted steamer flying the Spanish
flag following her. While he was
making up his mind what course to
pursue, puff of smoke curled over the
strangers port bow, and round shot
whistled uncomfortably close to the
schooner's mainmast, plunging into the
water on the leequarter. Captain
Quick gave the order to haul in sail and
bring the vessel to. While this was
being done, one of the crew ran out on
the bowsprit. AS he stood there the
gun on the Spanish warship doomed
again, and another shot sped on its
way toward the American craft, this
time coming so close to her that the
sailor on the bowsprit swears he dis
tinctly felt the wind caused by its
rapid flight. The Lane soon came to a
dead stop, and the gunboat drew up
under her quarter.
A boat was lowered and four Spanish
marines, under the command OF lieu
tenant in the Spanish navy, came
aboard. They were fully armed, and
their leader politely lifted his hat and
demanded to know from what port the
Lane had sailed and whittier she was
bound. Captain Quick gave the re-
0uired information and no further
search was made. The vessel was per-
mitted to continue ON her course With
out further molestation.
Captain Quick says he could not get
the name of the gunboat He adds
that after the first shot was fired at the
Lane he caused the stars and stripes to
be hoisted, but the only response the
Spanish made was the second shot.
The gunboat did not hoist her colors
until after the first shot was fired,
William Quick reached here tonight
and wired his agents in Philadelphia
and will await advices from them be-
fore determining whether to consider
the action of the Spaniards as an out
rage

New York, July 26.-Betting on the

already begun. A wager of $1,000 to
$500 has been made that the Defender
will beat the Valkyrie in the cup series.
1t is supposed to have been made for
w. K. Vanderbilt. There is a lot of
money to be put up. A number OF
bookmakers have been approached, but
little or no business has been done, be-
cause the bookmakers prefer to play
against the challenging yacht. They
want too big odds to suit the Defender
men.

several weeks ago. At this season of

be that the Sokoto is delayed by en-

Dashed Into the Ocean.

Fernandina, Fla, July 29.-Chased
by a posse, with the bay of blood
hounds sounding nearer, and with
every avenue of escape shut off, four
negro outlaws dashed into the ocean
near Fort George last night and were
drowned The victims were Tudor
Brown, Willie Cook, Sam Echols and
John Armstrong. They were desper-
ate characters who broke Jail at Fer
nandina Sunday night and hid i'll the
scrub along the beach. Sheriff Higgin.
botham determined to hunt them down.
The negroes were discovered on the
beach, and when called upon to sur.
render refused. Then the bloodhounds
were unlashed and the deputies closed
in and began firing. The negroes stood
as if dazed for a moment, and then
rushed into the ocean. In the faint
moonlight they were seen bobbing up
and down ON the waves and then disap.
peared.

A STARVING COLONY
State Department Asked to
Aid Negroes in Mexico.
WERE SENT BY FALSE PROMISES
The Government, However, Cannot Help
Them, and They Can he Saved
Only by Private Aid.

Washington, July 26.-Bad news
has been received at the state depart
ment from the colony of American ne
proes who went into Mexico some time
ago and settled on tract of land near
Tlahualilo. A telegram was received
at the state department this morning
from United States Consul Sparks, at
Piedras Negras, stating that the ne
groes are i'll IA deplorable condition.
These emigrants went from the South
ern states of the United States, mostly
from Alabama and the Carolinas, under
most alluring promises from the emil
grant agents of comfortable homes i'll
Mexico, but from all accounts they
have been i'll treated and suffered great
hardships from the time of their an
rival in that country. Consul Sparks
saws the negroes are scattered for miles
along the railroad without funds,
homes or food, living on mesquite
beans and branch water The consul
saws that he can do nothing toward
their relief and he fears trouble, be-
cause the negroes are starving. The
railroads offer to make liberal rates to
take them out of the country.
Later the consul reports that he has
received a telegram from DR.. l.. h.
Barry, at TOreon, Mexico, dated July
%, to the effect that | 90 of the negroes
from the colony were there i'll a desti
tute condition with fifteen cases OF
contagious diseases among them. The
Mexican authorities had prevented
them from entering the town. A let
ter ON the subject has been received AT
the state department from Representa-
tive Bankhead, of Alabama, inquirine
whether the government could assist III
bringing back to their homes the mem
bers of the colony of colored citizens
who are destitute and dissatisfied. The
department has tried in every way tC
afford relief in this case, but it is well
nigh powerless, and it is probable that
if the unfortunate negroes are to be
saved from starvation, private aid must
be extended to them Immediately.
The consul at Piedras Negras has
been instructed to render any assistance
which he can properly extend, and tt
report any serious developments. Oul
charge at the City of Mexico has beer
/ informed also of the state of affairs
as reported by the consul, and instruct
ed to inquire into the treatment of the
colonists. The department of state has
no funds which can be applied tt
maintain destitute Americans, Other
than seamen, i'll foreign countries, OF
to provide for their transportation
home, and has been obliged to so i'll
form the consul and all those persons
who have made inquiries concerning
! these COlOnists.

Cincinnati, o., July 30 In investi-
eating the poisoning of George Wash
ington Christopher Columbus Bell, who
died Friday afternoon after eating a
piece of watermelon, detectives have
unearthed facts which lead them to be-
lieve threre is negro malta here, the
objpect of which is to put out OF the
way persons who incur the i'll will OF
members. Witnesses at the inquest
uniformly showed a desire to conceal
whatever they knew about the case.
Mrs. Collins, the mother of the boy,
has already been threatened with poi
soning if she is not careful III giving
her testimony. The evidence against
Minnie Stout. the girl held on suspi-
cion of having given the poison
in the watermelon to the boy, is weak,
and she will probably be cleared.

He Is in the Way.

San Francisco, July 26.-Special
Administrator Goodfellow is very
much in the way in the Fair estate.
He has been offered $3.50, 600 to get out
of the way and will not take it. Rue
ben Lloyd, attorney for two of the
heirs, is authority for the statement.
Now the question is, Who made the
offer? Goodfellow will not tell, and
Attorney Lord, who represents two of
the three Fair heirs, says he did not
authorize the offer, and if such an offer
had been backed by. the heirs, he GER
tainly would have known about it. Still
the fact remains that if Goodfellow
could just say the word, the litigation
of the Fair estate would go glimmering
in a day, all the legacies would be
paid, the pencil will would not be
thought of over night, and there would
be lot of rich and happy attorneys
touring Europe on the money which
Fair accumulated.

Will Probably BE Extradited.

Mexico, July 27.-The extradition
case of Chester and Richard Rowe, who
are wanted by the Iowa authorities for
the embezzlement of public moneys,
has not assumed any different phase.
Legal opinion is to the effect that the
Mexican nationality of the former will
not have any weight with the foreign
secretary. The case will, therefore
probably be decided upon its merits
without reference to the question OF
citizenship.

A Sensation in the Illinois House.

Springfield, ILL.,, July 27.-Repre-
sentative Kilcourse, of Chicago, today
caused sensation by introducing a
track and pool-selling bill i'll the house.
The bill is for an act taxing owners OF
racing enclosures and permitting the
regulation pool-selling and wagering
on horse races run therein. AS soon as
the title was read score OF memb ers
were on their feet. Miller of Chicago
got the floor and moved that it be the
sense of the house that the bin does not
come within the scope OF Governor
Altgeld's proclamation, and, that,
therefore, it lies upon the table,
Speaking on this question Miller made
scathing speech denouncing the bill
as an outrageous piece of subterfuge,
chicanery and fraud. Half dozen
members rose to points Of order, but
the speaker decided in each case that
the points were not well taken. The
bill provides that race track officers
shall pay into the treasury of the coun
ty in which the track is located per
cent of the gross receipts. 1t prohibits
the selling of pools on outside races
and provides that races shall be held
between May and September, and not
to exceed sixty days on each track.

Small Beginnings

Make great endings sometimes. Ailments that
we are apt to consider trivial often grow, through
neglect into atrocious maadies, dangerous in
themselves and productive of others. 1t is the
disregard of the earlier indications of i'll health
which leads to the establishment of all sorts Of
maladies on a chronic bass. Moreover, there
are certain disorders incident to the season, such
as malaria and rheumatism, against which it is
always desirable to fortify the system after ex-
posure to the conditions which produce them.
Cold damp and miasma are surely counteracted
by Hostetter's Stomsch Bitters. After you have
incurred risk from these influences, a winegIass-
