RESTORE QUACKENBUSH.
Justice Bradley Says the PreSi-
dents Inactivity is La
mentable.

Washington, d. c., June 1.-THE appli-
cation of John NJ. Quackenbush, late
commander United States navy, for a
writ of mandamus to compel Secretary
Herbert to restore his name to the rolls
of the navy came up in the district court
today, the question at issue being whether
a rule should issue requiring Secretary
Herbert TO show cause why the manda-
mus should not be granted.
Quackenbush was tried by court mar
tial and sentenced to dismissal from the
navy, but his sentence was committed by
Before the expiration of this time the of
ficer next below him in rank was pro-
NOTED into his place, and later Secretary
Chandler removed his name from the
rolls. Quackenbush applied repeatedly
to Congress for reinstatement and sew
eral times nearly succeeded in his efforts.
In discussing the case Justice Bradley
said he was of the opinion that this
court had no jurisdiction, the only rem
edy lying with Congress. He continued:
The case, however, is one to excite the
sympathy of any unprecedented person.
The record shows that it was not the
intention of the President or the secre-
tary of the navy to dismiss Quacken-
bush, and that he was dismissed ac-
cidentally by the promotion of another
officer to his place. He could have been
restored at any time by recommendation
to Congress made by the President or
secretary, and delay in doing this re-
fleets on the holders of these places.
Simple justice demands his restoration
and if it is possible I will grant the
mandamus. [ fear, however, that
must decide that this court has no juris-

SPAIN ENTERS PROTEST.
Wants the United States to Look
After Filibustering Elk
petitions.

Washington, D. c., June 6--Mr. De
Lone, the Spanish minister to the United
States, has called the attention of the
state department to allegations that fill
clustering expeditions against Spanish
authority in Cuba are being fitted out in
the bayOus of the lower Mississippi river
The communication also states that
armed citizens of some of the Southern
states often paraded with arms with
view of joining some of these outgoing
expeditions, or at least to give active en-
coura cement to the Cuban insurrection-
lists Some of the statements We're too
meager for present official action 1t is
believed at the department that there is
little truth in the reports which reach
here from the South of the fitting oslt of
yarlike expeditions against Cuba, but
should it be shown that expeditions are
being organized, which come within the
prohibitions of international law and our
treaties with Spain, there will be no de-
lay in bringing the parties concerned to
Justice.

PANIC AT FLORENCE.
Earthquake Shocks at Florence,
Italy, Drives People Into
the Streets.

Florence, June 6.-There was a sharp
earthquake shock here at 1 SO this morn
ing. 1t aroused almost everybody hasti-
ly from their beds and when it was fol-
lowed by a succession of other subterra-
neous disturbances the people became
panic-Stricken and rushed in terror to the
streets, where they remained for hours,
greatly alarmed. Although it is not be-
heved that any serious damage was done
the inhabitants of this city, not having
recovered from the panic which followed
the big earthquake of Saturday, May IS,
were with difficulty persuaded to return
to their homes.
The greatest excitement prevailed in
the streets shortly after the earthquake
shocks, whole families remaining huddled
together, guarding their most valuable
possessions which they had carried with
them in their flight from their homes.
Many people fell Oh their knees in the
middle of the streets and prayed, while
others seemed too terrified to do any
thing but rush about and add to the
feeling of panic which prevailed. The
entire police force of the city was prompt
ly turned out and the authorities did ev-
erything possible to allay the alarm. So
far as known the shocks were only Sc
we're enough to shake down movable ar
ticles from shelves, sideboards, ETC., al
though there was considerable SWaying
of houses, particularly in certain dis
tricts of the city where the shocks seem
to have been more severely felt than in
others. The guests of the different hotels
seem to have been the least alarmed Of
all, although they were hastily aroused
from their beds by the shocks. The ma
jority of them retained their presence Of
mind, and beyond looking to the safety
of their valuables in case of having to
leave the hotels suddenly, no great panic
prevailed among them
