WHY HE DID NOT SALUTE.

CITY OF MEXICO. June 2-Of1cers of
the German ,man-of-war Geier arrived to-
night. The captain said the reason he did
not salute the American fleet on entering
Havana was that It was not the rule among
nations to salute when the admiraIs flag
was not flying. No discourtesy was in
tended.
Papers here commend the American local
Grand Army post for having decorated the
monument at Chapultepec erected to the
memory of the heroes who were killed by
American troops at the battle of the war
of invasion. 1t now appears that the Mex
lean army officers have decorated the
graves of American soldiers that were Iy-
ing in the cemeteries here
New York letters are received here anx-
iously inquiring II lives of Americans are
safe in Mexico. Some American papers
have published reports that resident Span
iards were bitterly hostile to them. This is
wholly absurd. The Spanish and American
colonies are entirely peaceful and respect
Mexicos neutrality.

Last night, while Guards John Wheeler
and Murt Dunn were patroling the roads
a noise in a clump Of brush near the road
and called to the parties to come out or
they would fire. The call was followed by
a shot, and Wheeler called out that he
had been shot. He was taken to a near

had received a buckshot through the fieshy
portion of his thigh. and that his horse
had received a number Of the shot.
This morning he was conveyed to his
home. when it was learned that he had
been shot by another guard who mistook
him for n convict on stolen horse. None

A majority of the newspapers condemn
Senor Castelar's remarks. but the extrem-
list organs defend them. The Conserva-
tive Epoca declares Senior CASTELAR, has ex-
pressed this opinion in conversation dur
ing the past two months, and the Epoca
believes he aims at grouping around him
the scattered Republican elements.
The ministerial Correo doubts the au-
thorship of the article, believing it 'inl-
probable that Senor CASTELAR, has forgot
ten himself in q manner so contrary to his
culture and love for the fatherland."
General Weyler's organ, Ell Nacional.
and the Republican Pals warmly defend
Senior CASTELAR,. while the Carlist Correo
Espanol attacks the government. It says:
During the past eighty years the Liber-
ais have seen three women on the throne,
and they have grossly expelled the first

The Heraldo hopes the government will
refrain from exposing the glorious old
age of Senior CASTELAR, to the vexations of
puerile prosecution

ACTIVITY AT TAMPA.
II IL Declared, However, Thnt No
Troops Have Embarked at
That Point.

TAMPA, FLA, June with the es-
tablishment of general army headquarters
at Tampa and with Major General Miles
on the grounds, personally directing the
movements of the army, affairs here, al
most stagnate for some time, have again
taken on considerable degree Of activity,
but no embarkation Of troops has as yet
taken place from this point. Although the
work of preparing the army for the CAM
paign still continues with unabated vigor,
until the fate of the powerful Spanish fleet
is settled no orders for the invasion Of
Cuba are expected. Admiral Cervera Is
apparently the unknown quantity in this
problem of war. When he is disposed of.
it is probable the opportunity the army has
SO long waited for will come and come
quickly.
Colonel ]. X. Dorst, who was in charge
of the recent expedition on the steamer
Florida, describes the condition of the wom-
en- and children as pitiable in the e3-
treme. When the steamer Florida reached
Point Banes on the north coast of Cuba,
where the supplies of arms, ammunition
and provisions were landed, it was met by
a crowd OF perhaps 300 pacificos, many of
them emaciated to the last extremity by
| long privations. Nearly half of these un-
fortunates were women, and, according to
Colonel Dorst. scarcely one Of them had
| more than single garment, and that In
tatters. Many Of the children were abso-
lutely naked. and their appeals for food
| when the first boat from the Florida land
| ed on the beach, were heartrending. As
| far as possible, the crews of the Florida
| and her consort. the Osceola, supplied the
| pacificos' wants, even giving away their
| underclothing.

Dear Sfr:-In recent newspaper dis

ton of the officers of the Kansas State
Temperance Union:
NEARLY all the regiments around us
have established what Is known as cam
teens" where beer and whisky are sold,
and the profit goes for extras for the reg
iment. When the question came up as to
what we would do, 1t was unanimously de-
cided by the officers that no liquor should
be sold In our camp. So you see the boys
are loyaIito the laws of our beloved state
I'VE congratulate you most heartily on

The newspapers have left the Havana

likely to happen along the north coast for
some time.
The Osccola lies in the harbor with great

NO MORE PELAGIC SEALING.
Coming Treaty With Canada Almost
Certain to show . Victory for
the United States.


WASHINGTON, June 2.-The Canadian
negotiations recently concluded here led to
the signing of protocol which formally
agreed to the exact subjects to be sub
mitted to an international commission.
While the protocol makes no preliminary
agreement on the several questions, yet
1t is the general understanding among off,
cials that the Bering sea question will be
adjusted and finally settled by the COM
plete termination of pelagic sealing. This
has been source of controversy for many
years, the United States seeking to put
an end to pelagic sealing and Canada,
though the imperial government, contest
ing against this termination of an industry
very profitable to many citizens Of the
Canadian Pacific coast.
During the recent negotiations, however.
1t developed that this industry was prac-
tically extinct, and was no longer profita-
bic to any considerable number Of Cam
in the matter that only two Canadian yes

ing these sealers very considerable sum.

under the changed conditions, 1t is said
that Canada has only q few sealers to deal
with, and that she is. therefore, in q posi-
ton to meet the contentious of the United
States without seriously injuring large
established industry.
While no agreement toward giving up
pelagic sealing was reached during the
recent meeting. the discussion was along
lines indicating that the coming commits
sion, without difficulty and with due regard
could put an end to the Bering sea con-
troversy by agreeing to a complete sus-
pension of pelagic sealing. It is understood
also that the protocol specifically recites
that there shall be three representatives
from each government on the Canadian
American commission.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The navy de-
partment to-day made public the following
extract from a report to the department
made by Captain Clark, of the Oregon. on
the extraordinary run OF that ship around
two continents:
''It is gratifying to call the departments
attention to the spirit aboard this ship. In
both officers and men. This can hest he
described by referring to instances such as
that of the engineer officers in voluntarily
doubling their watches when high speed
was to be made, to the attempt of men to
return to the fireroom after being carried
out of IL insensible. and to the fact that
most of the crew who were working by
watches by day and night at Sandy Point,
preferred to leave their hammocks in the
nettings until they could get the ship
coaled and ready to sail from Sandy Point" /"

MRS. ATKINSON FREE.
Wins a Temporary Victory
in Court.

WHEELING. W. VA. June 2.-In the
second t-ial Of Mrs. George W. Atkinson,
wife Of Governor Atkinson. on the charge
CT forgery. and jointly indicted with J.. p
Owens as accessory, Judge Blizzard to-
day sustained the demurrer of the de-
fense. which was argued yesterday. and.
so far as Mrs. Atkinson is concerned, she
is temporarily released. The decision was
upon technical point Of law, involving
the necessity Of alleging the guilty
knowledge" in the Indictment. The decis-
ion does not reach the merit Of tho case.
and does not preclude another Indictment
The trial Of Owens will go on. and Mrs
Atkinson's attorneys are assisting In his
defense.
1t will be remembered that Mrs. Atkinson
was indicted on a charge that she had
forged the signature of previous husband,
the late Judge Gideon Camden, to certain
receipts and others papers given to Owens
in some real estate transactions, and that
on her first trial last winter the jury dis
agreed. AT the former trial, the defense
was that Mrs. Camden had proper au-
thority to sign her invalid husbands name
to business papers and practically handle
all his business for him. The prosecution
claimed that the papers. or some Of them,
were given after Judge Camden's death.

an action, without waiting for its compile
tion. There are intimations that the press
reports covered only the first features OF
Commodore Schley's movements, and that
until these movements were developed to
the point where the results in view were
actually achieved. reports would not be
made on incidental phases OF the general
movement.
Moreover. II is pointed out that the fleet
commander must communicate with all the
commanders OF the ships making up MS
feet, In order to learn as to casualties.
damage and all the circumstances OF the
engagement When thus informed, his re-
port is made deliberately and this. IN turn,
must be translated to the naval cipher
code. When received here. there is another
delay In deciphering the code dispatch. Al
together II is said that the care In pre-
pairing official dispatches makes them about
twenty-four hours behind the press adj
vices 1t was thought that the absence Of
exact official information might embarrass
the work OF the war board, but officials
say this has not occurred.
While the navy department has been SAT
isfied for the last ten days that Admlral
Cervera's entire feet is inside Santiago
harbor, Commodore Schley has not heen
able to make an official report establish
ing this fact beyond the shadow OF
doubt. OF course, the locating of this en-
tire Spanish fleet, not excepting single
vessel large or small. is Of essential i'm
portance to the complete and Intelligent
formation of a strategic campaign. It
would remove the last element of hazard
In sending troops from Tampa or Jackson
ville and the danger of their being ha-
rassed In the rear by some of the Spanish
ships.
It is of equal Importance that the present
strength OF shore batteries, their location.
number of guns and general effectiveness
should be established. These points can be
learned by a feint, which will have the
outward appearance of an assault upon
the Spanish defenses. When completed, It
Is felt that It will serve as basis for more
complete advices as to the actual situation
Of affairs at Santiago harbor than have
been available at the navy department up
to this time IT is in this Hight that Com
modore Schley's movement is regarded as
important not so much from the destruct-
i've results achieved as from the opportuni-
ties 1t Affords for developing an the re-
sources at the command OF the Spanish

NIcARAGUAN SYMPATHY.
Men Are with the United
- States.

MANAGUA. June 2. -tCopyright, 1888
by the Associated Press.) A majority of
tho middle aged and old men natives of
Nicaragua, although courteous in their
manner, plainly show that their sympa-
tihes are strongly In favor of Spain in the
war with the United States. On the other
hand, large number of the young men,
again the natives-are outspoken in their
desire for the success of the United States,
and they rejoice publicly at every advan-
tage secured by the American warships.
Some of them are writing articles for
the local newspapers. favoring and ap-
plauding the United States. Among them
is Senior Adolfo vivas, associate editor Of
FL Commercio. a daily newspaper in this
city, writer of force and candor.
AL the German subjects in Nicaragua
are strongly in favor of Spain. In most
cases English subjects show disposition
favorable to the United States. but, with
an eye to the hereafter. they are bank
ing on their supposed friendliness in the
effort to get control of the route for
canal across Nicaragua.
The protocol for 4 probable treaty Of
peace between Nicaragua and Costa Rica
was signed April g. on board the United
States warship Alert. at sea west of Costa
Rica. The differences between the two
countries are to be submitted to Central
American arbitrators. provided the two
congresses agree: and Guatemala is to en-
force the decisions Of the arbitrators.
So at least the proposed treaty declares;
but 1t is quite evident to every one who
knows political conditions in Central
America that Salvador. although a member
with Nicaragua of the compact of presi-
dents known as the Greater Republic of
Central America" will not permit Gaute-
mala to interfere with Costa Rica, the
latter two states not being members Of the
Greater republic, because Salvador favors
Costa Rica and is not in harmony with the
present government OF Nicaragua.
On May ! the government Of Nicaragua
endeavored to get up popular demonstra-
tion at Managua to congratulate the gov
ernment on its diplomacy with Costa Rica,
but 1t was truly a very poor show, mar
rowly escaping failure.
Very few, If any, educated and well-to-do
class were present. evidently because thou
sands of their number-native Nicaraguans
are yet In exile. not permitted to return
owing to their known opposition to the gov
ernment now in power in Nicaragua.
Moreover the better classes are dissat-
fsfied because the present government yet
retains in the penitentiary many OF the ed
