his adherence to Republican doctrines,
and pledged himself to stand by them
if elected to congress. No better
reason than this can be given why he

A Suitable Reception

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-At the in.
stance of the Department of State, the War
Department has given the necessary orders
for suitable reception to President Ygle.
sias, of Costa Rica, who arrived in New York
today. General Shafter, commanding the
Department of the East, has been instructed
to meet the distinguished visitor at the
steamer dock with two battalions of troops
and under this escort, President Yglesias
selected for his reception. Here he will be
met by the Costa Rica Minister, Senor Calvo,
and by Colonel Carter, Assistant Adjutant-,
General, U. S. A., who has been designated
as the personal representative of the Presi-
dent to receive the nations guest. These
officials have full authority to make all minor
arrangements and it is understood they will
conduct President Yglesias to Washington
in a special car In Washington the cere-
monies will be in the hands of Colonel Bing-
ham, Corps of Engineers, who is arranging
program on the lines of that carried out
on the occasion of the reception of President
Dole Of Hawaii last year.

Navy PositiouS

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Strong pressure is being brought to bear
upon Secretary Long to assign Commodore
Philip, temporarily commanding the North
Atlantic squadron, to the Boston navy
yard The commodore has announced his
Willingness to take this duty and the gov.
ernment will probably comply with his
wishes. OF course, if hostilities are re.
sumed, Commodore Philip will be kept in
command of one of the squadrons, while
Rear Admiral Sampson will retain supreme
command.
If Commodore Philip goes to Boston he
will relieve Rear Admiral Howison. The
latter has applied for sea duty, but as he
will retire next October it is doubtful il
the department will grant his request. He
may be transferred to the navy yard at New
York to succeed Rear Admiral Bunce, who
will be placed on the retired list next
month.
Members of the Board Of Construction
building firms awarded contracts for the
monitors authorized by the last naval ap
preparation law. 1t is expected they will
submit statements of the characteristics oi
vessels they will be able to build within the
appropriation made by Congress.
Should it be deemed desirable to bring
the Cincinnati north to repair her boilers
the Newark will probably be. sent to the
southern coast of Cuba to take. her place
as flagship Captain c. f. Goodrich, who
commands the Newark, will then be the
senior officer in charge.
The Panther will be sent to San Juan
as a station ship, and it is expected she will
soon leave League Island for Porto Rico.

THE MARIA TERESA CAT
NOW CAPTAIN AND CREW OF THE
CRUISER
The Hulk Absolutely Beyond Hope Of
Salvage and Is Already Thor
oughly Looted

NASSAU, NJ p, Nov. l5.-The cable
grams senS up to date have given an outline
OF the case of the Spanish cruiser Marie
Teresa, which went ashore in heavy gale
at Bird Point, Cat Island, on the afternoon
OF November 3. BY this first opportunity
mail details are forwarded.
At last advices she was still ashore, with
little probability of being gotten off. The
gale sent her far up the reefs, and she rests
now as solid as a rock in twelve feet Of
water. The water inside of her is rising
and falling with the tide, and she is sup.
posed to be bilged. A very heavy surf is
pouring in on the reefs, rendering it diff
ticult to board her. The ships pet, large
cat, remains on board, and no one can
catch her. The ships flag, which was flying
when she stranded, has been brought to
ing it at the consulate as souvenir
The British steamer Antilia returned
from the wreck on Sunday, and reported
that it was impossible for her to accomplish
anything. The surf was so heavy that she
could not get within quarter of mile of
the Teresa, though drawing but nine feet
Two gentlemen on board managed to reach
the Teresa in a boat, but the surf was so
strong they could not return, and finally
reached the shore, where they were left to
return to Nassau by schooner.
The ship has been badly looted by the
negro natives of the vicinity, an ignorant
set who believe wrecks are presents sent
them by the Lord, and to be gratefully ac-
cepted and utilized accordingly Everything
movable has been taken away, and even the
Temporary pine deck has ben cut to pieces,
broken up and carried off. Much of the
brass work and copper has been hacked off
and secreted in the bush to be realized upon
hereafter. The provisions were eagerly seized,
the reckless natives taking all sorts of risks
in their quest for plunder. Certain por-
tions of the ships stores, such as heavy haw-
sers, ropes, tons of machinery, canned pro-
visions, etc, were taken off by local Of
fetal and forwarded to Nassau by small
schooners. This official, it is but fair to
say. did all he could to prevent the looting.
Immediately upon the arrival of these at
Nassau they were taken possession of by
the Marshal of Vice-Admiralty, on the
ground that the ship and contents were
derelicts, and so belonged to the colonial a,l-
thorities.
The American Consul, Mr.. Mckay, noti-
fed the Marshal that he considered the ar
ticles saved to be the property of the United
States Government, and that he should. at
the proper time, request that they be re-
leased and handed over to him, The ques-
tiqn of ownership, thus raised, is not likely
to be settled at once.

Revolt Spreading

NEW YORK, Nov. pa dispatch to the
Herald from Panama says:
Late advces from Salvador via Nicaragua
indicate that the revolt is more serious than
at first thought. 1t may involve all the five
states in general confagration.
According to advices the real object of the
movement is the overthrow of the federal re.
public, which was organized at Amapala. To
accomplish this, Regalado called in the aid of
Guatemala and Costa Rica, who always
viewed the union of Salvador, Nicaragua and
Honduras as a constant menace to their SOW.

sion Mr.. Hearn appealed to the jury not
to lend aid to the scheme that had
been concocted to put an innocent man
into the penitentiary that others might
be protected.
Judge Kelly's charge was lengthy and
in it he reviewed the evidence quite
thoroughly, calling attention to the fact
that intent was the necessary element
OF guilt. 1t was not the propriety of
the conduct of the accused or any of
the officers that was on trial, but the
innocence or guilt of the accused that
must be passed upon.
The jury went out at 11:15. When
they went to dinner a couple Of hours
later they stood eleven for acquittal
and one for conviction. At o'clock
they sent anote to Judge Kelly. 1t was
an inquiry as to whether they might
find the prisoner innocent, but admins
ter a reprimand. At 5:25 it was an

There were no members or the ponce

was announced.
An order not to evince any undue IN
