High Carnival Reigned-Day and Night
 Parades-Great Crowd.
 Mobile, Ala, March 2.-The mardi grss celebration in Mobile was concentrated in one day. There is a great crowd of peo- pie in the city and much enthusiasm talk en in the parades.
 The afternoon parade was by the Knights of Revelry. which organization illustrates popular songs. There were eight floats, all very pretty and well con- ceived. The comic cowboys gave the people hard view of hard times" This was, of course, humorous view of the situation. The floats were satirical hits upon local happenings of the past night. A night order of Myths gave their parade with the floats illustrating "in wonder land" The titles of the floats were as follows: Meeting of Lalla Rookh and Aliris;" Queen Nab and Her court" "Bluebeard and His Wives;" 'fThe Birth of the Pearl;" "Alladdin and His Won derful Lamp:" '"The Birth of Phoenix;' ''The Master Maid:' sThe Staying of the Chimra;" and "Cindarilla After the Transformation"
 The costumes were rich, the display was brilliant. After the parade was a ball. The attendance from outside the city is the largest seen in years.

In conclusion the minister says of the investigation about to be undertaken; "The government of his majesty, in im- partial Vindication of justice and defer enee to pre-ocerpied public opinion in Spain, intends that the truth shall be known whatever be the nationality of Ruiz
 Continuing. Olney then says: Until the results of the full investigation thus agreed upon by the governments shall have been reached. what further steps should be taken in the matter by the United States cannot of course be de- termined. The inquiry should be set on foot and completed with all possible de- spatch and 1t would seem to be wise that the consul general of the United States should be provided with the best legal assistance available, not only in this country. but in Havana Meanwhile, and pending the proposed investigation which is not unlikely to excite local feel ing and which should not be embarrassed or defeated by any forestalling or per verting of testimony--the publication of the correspondence on the subject be- tween this department and the consul general at Havana would not seem to be in the public interest"

pr Ccpeisnd stgated, that Miss Casper was simply overcome by a fzinting spell superir3uced by the clcseness of her sur roundings.
 During the afternoon parade yesterday there were many places in the vast throng that were almost suffccating, so c.ose were the people crowded together.
 h one of these jams at about o'clock on First avenue in front of the Bee Hive, Miss M2ude Casper, a young white wo- man about 20 years old, was taken sud denly i'll. The ambulance of the War ner-SIniley company was called and the young woman taken to the Hillman hes pital. where. at late hour last night, she was resting easy and quietly sleeping.
 As the great parade was turning at Sixth avenue and Twentieth street last night soon after forma ton, the beautiful float erected by the Italian society, was destroyed by fire. Exactly how the un- fortunate accident occurred is not known but it is thought that, in kindling the colored Illuminating lights some sparks of the powder lit on an inf1ammable part of the monster .Gragon. The entire su- perstructure of the magnificent design was burned away and tf.e bed of the float considerably damaged. The captive young princess. so beautifully represent ed by Miss Allen Giacopazzi, the fair daughter of Mir. Paul Giacopazzi, escaped serious injury through the presence of mind of MT. P. Rietta, the daring prince who had come to the rescue. Miss Gia- copazzi's injuries are slight but she was greatly frightened. The float, which appeared in the parade yesterday after noon and was awarded the first prize by the judges. fer artistic design. was most complete and beautiful one. It rep resented 8 captive princess chained to a large tree and a gigantic, angered dra- goon ready to deyeur it's helpless prey AS the monster opened wide it's copious jaws an athletic prince in armor and with drawn spear defends the princess and kills the dragoon The color effects, design and workmanship were beautiful beyond compare. The princess, as stat ed above. was represented by a beauti- ful daughter of sunny Italy, Miss Allen Giacopazzi, and the character Of the gall lant prince who comes to her rescue was excellent1y impersonated by that clever gentleman MT P Rietta
