New York, March 11.-Judge Addi-
son Brown, of the United States dis
trict court, has dismissed the writ of
habeas corpus and certorari sworn out
by Lawyer Coudert, on behalf of Jo-
seph A. Iasigi Turkish consul general
at Boston, who was arrested in this
city few weeks ago, charged with
embezzling over 100000. Lawyer
Coudert's contention was that the
state authorities had no Jurisdiction in
the case of a representative of for
eign government, and that If the pris-
oner was guilty of any offense he
could be tried only by the federal
courts. Judge Browns decision over
rules this contention.

1t is about decided that Bellamy
StOrer, of Cincinnati, will go abroad
and not be assistant secretary of state,
owing to the opposition Of Senator
Foraker. Although Don Cameron has
been mentioned most prominently
during the last few days for ambassa-
dor to Germany, it Is not likely that he
will be nominated, because the ex-
senator from Pennsylvania finds that
his business connections in this coun-

Fernandlna, Fla, March 1.-THE
revenue cutter ColfaX has been at
Fernandina for two weeks awaiting
the arrival of the steamer Bermuda,
just arrived from Bermuda, and will
probably stay until the Bermuda
leaves. Nothing appears to indicate
that a fiibustering trip is proposed.
The Spanish consul was on hand to

of men watching her. 1t is believed
that the presence of war vessel at

City of Mexico, March 11.--Popular
interest is intense as to the reply the
government will make to the request
of the Spanish minister that the au-
thorities interfere to prevent further
collection of funds for Cuban patriots.
Spaniards claim and exercise the right
to raise money for their soldiers, and
yet they deny similar right to the
Mexican People. 1t seems probable
the government will express its opln-
ion that Mexican citizens have in
every legitimate way the right to man
ifest their profound sympathy with
the Cuban cause.
