THE HORsA INCIDENT.
Captain Wiborg,s Arrest Justified by
International Law.

WASHINGTON, Nov. %, 1895.-The con-
tention of Captain Wiborg of the Danish
steamer Horsa, arrested by a United
States marshal in Philadelphia yesterday,
on complaint of the Spanish Consul, for
alleged violation of our neutrality laws,
that the deck of his vessel while in an
American port was Danish soil, is
spoken of here as utterly untenable. If
the vessel had been on the high seas at
the time of the arrest, Captain Wiborg's
contention might have had some basis
in international law, but>a merchant YES
sci in port is subject exclusively to the
police jurisdiction of that. port and no
question whatever can arise as to. the
complete right of any nation to enforce
IFS own laws in it's own territory.
Anywhere inside of the marine belt
the law of the United States is supreme
and the laws of other nations become
wholly imperative. 80
where. on account of unsatisfactory local
administration of justice, extra terri
torial jurisdiction is recognized, the cap
tain of the Horsa might have thrown
himself under the protection of his ma
TONS consul, but in every port on the
American Continent as we'll as IN europe,
no question as to local laws can be sue
cessfully raised.
one particular feature which it Is said
renders Captain Wiborg's claim to be
exempt from United States jurisdiction
the more remarkable is the fact that both
The Danish and Swedish government
have issued proclamations forbidding the
use of their flags to shelter flibustering
operationS.

of his city, was sitting in the room in
the rear of her candy store at No. 1872
Bergen avenue, last night, between five
and six o'clock, she heard the money
drawer in the store opened. She ran
into the store >but seeing nothing amiss

when she thought that as long as she was
in the store she might as well light up.
By doing so she saved So, for when she
went to get a match behind the counter
she stumbled over a young man who
was crouching underneath the till.
Mrs. Darmer instantly seized the fell

break away. Mrs. Darmer held on to
him, however, and called for help.
Realizing that he was liable to be ar
rested, the thief began to punch Mrs.
Darmer in the face and breast, but she
is a plucky little woman and despite her
fifty years and the blows he was ad-

RAZOR THIS TIME.
An Ancient Italian FearfuIiy Slashed
In. Hohoken.

A Thanksgiving Day celebration in the
italian quarter of Hoboken terminated
last night in a serious stabbing ARRAY.
Early in the afternoon the friends of
Frank Mareno, an aged Italian, assem-
bled at his home, No. II Adams street.
They began the celebration with a dinner
and then washed it down with beer and
mixed ale. AT night all hands were
drunk.
Among the guests was Michael Cam
noneeco of No. 423 Adams street. He
imagined that Die man Mareno had talk
ed about him and was anxious to fight
him; Suddenly Mareno struck him with
a glass. This was a signal for a gem
eral fight. Cannonecco drew a razor and
began to slash. He cut old Mareno fright
fully, wounding him in the head, face,
chin and hand. The women of the
crowd screamed and attracted the police.
Both men were taken to Police Head
quarters. Mareno's wounds were dress
ed. C~annonecco was locked up. This
morning Mareno showed an inclination
to drop the complaint, but the Recorder
refused to permit him to do so and Can

PBACEMAKER'S FATE
Four Deadly Stiletto Thrusts
for Italian Saloonkeeper
Angelic.

Frank Angelic, an Italian saloon keep
err, of No. IA Colgate street, died in st.
Francis Hospital at eight o'clock this
morning from stab wounds received
while attempting to separate two OF his
fellow countrymen who were fighting.
Tony Monbeli, one of the principals OF
the fight, is under arrest. The man
who is believed to nave done the stab
bling is still at liberty. He is Diomico
Maluci. Detectives are on his track and
he may be arrested before night.
OVER A CARD GAME.
The stabbing grew out of a quarrel over
a game of cards. Half a dozen or more
Italians were playing for drinks in Ang-
elito's saloon, when Maluci, it is said,
accused Monbeli of cheating. A heated
| argument ensued and the men finally
came to blows. In an instant all the
players were fighting. Chairs and tables
were overturned and beer glasses We're
thrown about promiscuously. The fight
finally settled down to Maluci and Mon
bell. They worked their way into the
street and continued the fight there. In
a few minute the fighters were surround
ed by at least a hundred Italians, Who
urged their respective favorites to great
er efforts. TO end the disturbance. Ang-
elito went between the men. He grabbed
| Maluci and attempted to force hin
through the crowd. Suddenly he threw
up his hands and shouted, Il am stab
bed"
Maluci made a break through the crowd
and made good his escape.
CHASTITY WOUNDS.
Monbeli, with the assistance of other
men, carried Angelic into his saloon.
An ambulance was sent for, and he was
removed in haste to st. Francis Hospi-
tai. He had been tabled presumably
with a stiletto three times in the abdo-
men and nee in the left leg. The wounds
were terrible ones. The attending ply
sicians notified the police that there was
little chance for his recovery. Monbefi
practically gave himself up to the police.
Detectives were despatched to the scene
of the stabbing as soon as practicable,
would acknowledge having seen the oc-
currence
Italians, Chief Murphy declared this
morning, will rarely betray a country
man, no matter what his crime may be.
Monbeli declares he did not do the stab
bing. Frank Amino, Rosa Meelo and
Maria Demata, who live on the corner
where the stabbing was done, We're ar
rested last night as witnesses. They say
they saw Monbeli and Maluci fighting,
but declare they do not know who did
the stabbing.
Monbeli was arraigned before Justice
Potts this morning and committed with
out bail. Maluci is believed to have
made his way to New York.
The police of that city nave been re-
quested to find him. Only a meagre de-
scription of him has been obtained.
