cite has been removed by the prompt
release of the vessel Immediately upon
~etice of her capture reaching the
s-Ate department. The explanation
for this action on the part of the ad-
ministration is given in the statement
which follows and which was issued
from the white house: "The Lafay-
cite was released in pursuance OF or
ders which were issued by the navy
department previously to her seizure
but which had not been received by
the commanding officers of the vessels
that made the capture. The facts are
that April 10Th the French embassy
made informal inquiry whether the
Lafayette, which left Saint Nazaire,
France, for Vera Cruz by way of Ha-
vana, before war was declared or in
formation of the blockade was re-
ceived, would be allowed to land at
Havana certain passengers, mail bags
and a dispatch bag for the consulate
passengers on board. The assurance
was given that, if this privilege should
be granted, the steamer would be for
hidden by the French consul to land
the goods. The matter was duly con-
sidered and it was decided that as an
act of courtesy the French govern
ment's request be acceded to. Word
was accordingly sent May 2. When
the information was received Of the
capture of the steamer and of her hav-
ing been brought to Key West these
orders were communicated to the cap
tors with instructions to release the
steamer and to see that the orders
were duly delivered so that they might
be carried into effect. No demand
was made either by or on behalf of
the French government directly OF
indirectly for the steamers release

cite to Havana last night"

LAHL SING AMT IN 1T
That's What People Said Of Dixon a.
WilliSOn'S Last Night.
Genuine African BabOOn - Funny Peanuts -
Jack Hayes Asan-A Superb
Entertainment.

Nearly 1000 people spent two
hours most pleasantly at Willis
on's circus last night. To all the
entertainment was an agreeable
surprise. Hardly off their "sea
legs" the company put on a
program of which Mr.. Wilson
may we'll feel proud. Applause
was frequent and hearty.
There We're % numbers on the
program, containing a variety of
equestrian feats, acrobstic work,
clown acts and specialties. 1t is
impossible to classify the features
in an order of merit. All were
good. The riding was clever; the
mirth was real and harmless.
The first half introduced all of
the riders, the Lilliputians, the
clowns and Nirets. Jack Hayes in
the ring was greeted by deafening
applause from the galleries.
Funny Peanuts, the smallest and
quaintest clown in the world,
brought down the house.
Harry Dixon, the $1,000 chal-
lepge jockey, appeared in his
specially in the secoGd act. He
soon showed his superiority over
Lahl Sing, the famous rider of
Wirth's circus. His feat of
springing from the ground and
aIighting backward on his feet on
the galloping horse has never
been seen here before.
1t is truly wonderful. "Labl Sing
amt in it," shouted all the Chin
ME Fdddens in the house as
Dixon left the ring.
The African baboou, in his imi-
tation of the acts of human beings,
was circus within itself. The
animal is a huge one and enacts a
number of tricks with the clever
ness of a trained man.

MR.. FIsHBACK BURNED.
Sustains Severe Injuries in Effort to
Extinguish Fire.

Mr.. William Ffshback. who conducts
dyeing establishment at No. II H street
northeast, came near losing his life Monday
afternoon while extinsuishing a fire in his
place of business. The fire followed a
gasoline explosion, the cause of which is
unknown. Mr.. Fishback was in the cellar
of the house at work on some clothing
when he was startled by the explosion.
Immediately afterward he saw that there
was a big blaze in his place, and he pro-
ceeded to extinguish the flames without
calling for help. In so doing he was Sc
verely burned about the head and arms.
and it feared he would die. but he
has improved much since the fire that
today he was thought to be out of danger.
Mr.. Patrick Fitzgerald of the police de-
partment was the first one to reach the
burned man and assist him, and DIR. Sud-
darth was at once summoned to attend
him.
So great was the force of the explosion
that the big glass windows in the store
front were demolished, and a large crowd
was attracted. Glass in the adjoining build
ing was also smashed
