LAFAYETTE LET GO.
BLOCKADING FLEET SEXES
A FRENCH BOAT.
Case Causes the Gravest Concern a1
Washington - Capture Result OF Mis-
take-FaiIure of Fleet to Receive Or
ders Results In had Break.

KEY WEST Fla, May Z-Commo-
dore Watson yesterday afternoon
received orders from Washington in
stantly to release the French mail
steamer Lafayette, which was taken
by the gunboat Annapolis off Havana
Thursday night, and to send her to
| Havana under escort
The capture of the Frenchman turns
out to have been an unfortunate Incl
dent, resulting from mistakes, but no
protest has been made to the repre-
sentatives of the French government
in the United States. The officials
here declare that this will close the
affair.
1t appears that before the Lafayette
sailed for Havana the French leg alton
in Washington was instructed to COM
municate with the state department..
This was done, and permission granted
to the steamer to enter and discharge
her passengers and cargo. with the
understanding that she would take on
nothing there Instructions for the
fulfillment of this agreement were
sent from Washington to Admiral
SIMPSONS squadron. and it was only
learned, after the capture was made,
that they were never delivered.
Yesterday afternoon, United States
Commissioner Otto, United States
District Attorney Stripping and
number of other federal officials went
out to the Lafayette, examined her
papers and cabled the state depart
ment for instructions. These came
without delay, in the for N of an Or
der to Commodore Watson.
The Lafayette was escorted out last
night by the gunboat Wilmington, in
obedience to the orders of the navy
department. The gunboat will ac-
company her beyond the blockade
lines, and then leave her free to en-
ter Havana unmolested.

Co. S review of trade says: "a state
of war was so greatly dreaded by
those who have seen nothing like it
for more than thirty years that its
coming has hurt less than its appre-
hension. Especially since the victory
at Manila, which indicated the supe.
riority of the American navy, gun for

not last long has influenced all mar

business has been materially inn
proved One days work by the Off

many days work to thousands of pc o.
pie of whom they knew nothing, and
has placed all American industries
and interests on a stronger footing for
any conceivable future"

TWO BANK FAILURES.
state Banks of Lehigh and Marion,
Kan, Forced to Close


TOPEKA, Kan, May Bank Com
missioner Breidenthal yesterday took
charge of the Commercial State bank
of Lehigh and the First State bank OF
Marion. Both institutions were oper-
ated by the same men. Harry f.
Mason of Marion was the principal
stakeholder and president of each.
The Lehigh bank had a capital OF S., 900
and the Marion bank $40, 900 Loose
business methods of the banks was
the cause of the bank commissioner
taking charge. Some sensational de-
velopments are expected in connection
with the affair. Deputy Bank Com
missioner Waterman is in charge OF
the Lehigh bank. The First State
bank of Marion was started in 1894.
1t was the reorganization of the old
Cottonwood Valley National bank.
Breidenthal says that it began doing
business as state bank without any
authority, and that, under the on
law, he could not reach it.
