CHILT0N'S INSPECTION
Shows All the ConsuIates Are Well
Conducted


SAN FRANCISCO, May 14-Robert
S. Chiffon of Washington, D. c., Chief Of
the Consular Bureau Of the Department
of State Is here. He has just made a
tour of inspection of the American con-
sulates in Europe and the Orient, and IS
now on his way back to Washington
after an absence Of eight months.
Last evening Mr.. Chiffon said that
the consulates, like every other Federal
office, required inspection at stated in
tervals, but for some reason the inspec-
ton he is now making is the fret general
inspection that has been made in twenty
years.
"The purpose Of such an inspection
trip as 1 have been making" he said,
lis easily explained. The State Depart
ment wants to know how well or how
poorly the Government is represented
at places where consulates are main
tained, and how the business of each
Office is conducted. At the same time 1t
is my province to make suggestions or
recommendations as to the establish
ment of new consulates where they arc
needed, and the abolition Of existing
consulates where they are not needed.
II left Washington in September last
and have been on the go ever since. !
have visited all the American consulatss
in England. Scotland, Ireland, France,
Belgium, Germany, Italy and through
out Europe generally. Then I proceeded
to the Orient. The result Of my labors
is of course matter that concerns only
the State Department, and my report
Will be of a confidential nature. can
only say that found our Government
on the whole very we'll represented"
Mr.. Chiffon will leave today for Wash
ingtOn.

Should he enter upon an aggressive
campaign. attacking the Spanish re-
peatedly, he would coon exhaust the
small amount of aminunition at HIS
command, and would be left absolutely
without other defense than that afforded
by retreat to nearby forests.
LAS indicated to me in an interview
with him, he will hold the plain Of La
Refornna, his present headquarters, un-
til such time as plentiful supply of am
munition enables him to renew the mag
nificent campaign inaugurated by Ma
Geo and himself a year and a half
ago. At present, however, he will re-
main quiet, acting only upon the defen-
sive until the supplies recently land
ed by Prof. Roloff reach him. He will
then, according to the information fur
nished me, begin a countermarch on
Havana with all the forces in the
provinces of Havana eastward. BY this
means he will refute in most startling
manner the statements of Weyler. that
the three provinces of Havana, Matan-
zas and Santa Clara have been pacified." :"
The may be the final struggle of the
war.
A STARTLING STORY.
NEW YORK May IA special to
the journal from Havana says: A
startling story comes from Campo, Flor
ida. to the effect that Colonel Raoul
Arango's insurgent infantry surprised
the garrisoni last Sunday night, and after
looting the local Spanish conmissary,
visited the hospital, where they are said
TO have seized the wounded Spanish
Colonel, Fons edeveiia, and carried him
away a prisoner, intending to hold him
as q hostage for the better treatment
of Cubans insarcerated in Guanabacoa
as political suspects awaiting court
martials.
Other reports say that Fonsedeveila
was not wounded, but has been missing
for a week or more. The Spaniards in
innate that he was killed in some mys-
terious way, while some Cubans as
cert that he deserted with the bulk of
his company and Joined the revolu-
tionists. None of the stories can be con-
firmed here and it is most probable
that, having been quietly relieved of
his command under pressure from
Washington and instructions from
Madrid, heis endeavoring to escape pub
lie notice pending a result of the ex-
pected new inquiry into the Ruiz case.
GENERAL RIVERA SICK.
NEW YORK, May 14.-A dispatch to
the Journal from Havana says: Gen.
Ruis Rivera is sick with fever in
Cuban prison. Col. Bacallao his latest
chief of staff. who was also captured
by the Spanish troops while attempting
to carry his wounded leader from the
field and is now confined in the same cell
with him, sent at Rivera's dictation the
following communications:
General Rivera is not suffering from
his wounds. but is very weak with fever
and is not able to sit up except for
few minutes each day."

AUCTIONS.

There IS little chance for fraud or complaint in the
manner OF conducting auction sales in Japan. Al
though there are not nearly SO many sales held there
as IN this country, officials of the cities have a wav
OF conducting them much similar to our method of
voting. When an auction is to take place the goods
or property is advertised for two weeks ahead. On
the day of the sale each bidder writes his name and
address and the amount of his bid for each lot on a
Slip OF paper, which he carefully places in a box.
When all the bids are in the auctioneer opens the box
IN the presence of the spectators, and, after examin-
ing all, the goods are declared the property of the
highest bidder. By this system the Am. rican custom
OF owners bidding in property or goods would almost
entirely disappear.
