The EiIibustering Schooner

WASHINGTON,S Sept. s.-Informaticn
reached the treasury department today OF
tho seizure of the schooner Lark off Pine
Key, Fla. substantially as telegraphsd
to the Associated Press last night. The
Spanish minister today called at the state
department with statement obtained
from the Spanish consul at keyWest, that
the Lark was only a part of an extensive
flibustering expedition htting out in
Florida waters. and asking that the CON-
manders of the revenue cutters now on
duty there be instructed to use increased
diligence in experimenting all offenders.
This information was transmitted to the
department of justice ana also the treas
ury department, and resulted in instruc-
tons being sent to the United States at
torney and his marshals and also to the
cutsoms collectors and commanders of
vessels OF the reveIne fleet to use every
possible means to arrest and bring to
justice any offenders against the interna-
tiOual law,
The herald., 1895-09-19

their duties they are to be severely pun
ished, and no leniency shall be observed
in their cases. Let these commands be
made known to all within this empire.
Little value is attached by foreigners
to this edict. 1t is now we'll understood
that the orders of the emperor of China
have virtually no force outside the walls
OF Pekin. On several previous occasions
edicts even more forcibly worded than
the above have emanated from the dragon
throne, but foreign property and foreign
lives remain as insecure as ever in the in
terror of China.
1t is generally believed that the action
of the British government has fallen far
short of the requirements of the occasion.
Instead of dispatching consul to inves-
tigate the circumstances connected with
the Ku Chena atrocities, the task should
have been entrusted to British legation
and instead of Chinese court the COM
missioner should have been accompanied
by 500 redcoats and bluejaokets.

Governor culberson's Intentions

AUSTIN, Tex. Sept. 18.-Governor
Culbefson was seen today IN reference to
Judge Hurts decision at Dallas yesterday
favorable to prize fighting. He refused to
express himself, but it is evident he will
ignore the opinion and prevent the fight.
To be prepared for an adverse opinion he
has been looking up Governor Ross ac-
ton on the Sullivan Kilrain hghs,
which he prevented from coming off in
Texas, but was unable to find the records,
which have been misplaced. An Asso-
Grated Press correspon dent. however this
morning furnished him with an official
copy of Ross order to the sheriff, where
in he cites laws still in force and com.
mands him to enforce them. Governor
Culberson had several copies of the order
made, and it is certain be proposes TO

INTERNATIONAL RIGHTS
Discussed at the Irrigation Congress-0pened
nv j. K. Ybarr0lIa


by J. K. YbarrolIa
DENVER, Sept. l8.-A special to the
News from Albuquerque says: Today
session of the national irrig alton con-
gress was opened by paper by Don
Ramon de Ybarrolla of Mexico on Inter
national Rights. He said that in the
treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo it was ex-
plicitly agreed between the United States
and Mexico that the Rio Grande should
90 in no way INSTRUCTED nor the waters
thereof appropriated by either nation
without the consent OF the other. At the
time the treaty was made the river was
navigable upsto within few miles of Ell
Paso, while now there is not sufficient
water in the stream for irrigation prrpo-
ses 500 miles south of Ell Paso. The wa
ter has been appropriated on the Ameri
can side, and the treaty has hence been
broken by this country. He claimed that
some measure or system should be de-
vised by international agreement where
by there would be an equal division OF
the waters of the stream.
Phoenix. Ariz., was selected as the
next meeting place. The time of the af-
ternoon session was taken up by the re-
port of the committee on resolutions and
the election of officers of the national
committee for the ensuing year. Hon.
e. B. Moses was made chairman and Col
onel Heintz of California secretary of the
national committee. the committee on
resolutions embodied their report in q
lengthy address to the American people.
CAPTAIN Glassford delivered the principal
address of the evening session.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 1s.-The at
titude of the emperor of China in relation
to the recent outbreaks against mission
aries is shown in an edict recently issued
by the emperor, which is publish ed in
local paper. The emperor says:
''Since the opening OF internal COM
merce with western countries, foreigners
have always resided in the inland dis
tricts at peace and harmony with their
native neighbors, and we in our imperial
love for both native and foreigner alike,
have time ana again commanded our
high provincial authorities to pay extra
heed constantly to protect the latter from
harm. Judge of our extreme indignation
then upon hearing recently first OF the
riots in the capital OF SEE Chuen, where
chapels have been destroyed and burned
down by the rioters, tn ereby tanning the
flames of destruction far and wide, in.
somuch that number of sub-pIefectures
aud districts simultaneously followed
in the footsteps of Cheng Tu, and now
