this morning.
Commodore Watson this afternoon
received orders from Washington to in
stantly release the Lafayette and to
send her to Havana under escort.
The capture of the Frenchman by
the gunboat Annapolis turns out to
have been an unfortunate incident, re-
sulting from mistakes. but no protest
has been made by the representatives
of the French government to the Unit

The Lafayette was released in pur-

the Navy Department previous to her

ceived by the commanding officers Of
the vessels that made the capture. The
facts are that on April 29th the French
embassy made an Informal inquiry as
to whether the Lafayette, which left
st. Nazarie, France, for Vera Cruz, by
way of Havana, before war was de-
clared or information of the blockade
was received, would be allowed to land
In HAVANA her passengers, her mail
bags and the dispatch bag of the con-
sulate general of France, and take
some French passengers on board. An
assurance was given that, il this privi-
lege should be granted. the steamer
would be forbidden by the French con-
sui to land goods.
The matter was duly considered and
it was decided that. without regard to
the strict law of blockade, and as an
act of courtesy, the request Of the
French government should he acceded
to Orders were accordingly sent on
the 2nd day of May, but We're not

AFTER NEW INDUSTRIES.
Board of Trade Officials Considering
Plans for Bringing Three
New Manufacturing En-
terprises to This City.

The officers and the more prominent
committees of the board of trade are
engaged in the consideration of a num-
Der of important matters. several OF
which may result in bringing three new
manufacturing enterprises to the city.
On Saturday afternoon the finance
committee will meet and consider the
advisabilty of renewing the contract
with the Dun Mercantile agency. AS it
has cost the board $500 per year for
the last ten years, the meeting of the
committee is not unimportant. The
committee will probably take into con-
sideration the rate given by the agency
to members Of the board. This rate is
$75 for two books per year. or S25 less
than the regular rate. So much as $500
is charged the board for its two books
on account Of the large number of
persons who have access to them.
A Joint meeting of the manufacturers
and legislation and taxes committees
will be held Saturday evening to elect
a delegate to the ballot reform con-
vention to be held in Philadelphia. on
Dec. z
Three propositions which may lead
to the establishment of as many new
industries in Scranton are now before
the manufacturers committee. The
three would employ $50 men and they
do not include the National Elevator
works, of Honesdale. which, it has
been decided, will be established here
and in operation before next summer.
One Of the three enterprises is purely
local and has 100000 subscribed for it's
stock. Another is a concern now doing
a good business in another city but
which has been investigating the wis
dom of coming to Scranton to secure
better facilities of manufacture and
shipping and to be in the center of it's
particular trade. 1t has not asked for
money, in fact. does not need it. but
the officers of the board think that the
board should at least give its formal
approval of the project and see to it
that the removal to Scranton is assur-
ed
1t is proposed to establish the indus
try last referred to in the building oc-
cupied by the Collins Hale Manufac-
turing company on Capouse avenue.
If this plan isn't carried out the build
ing will be leased by the company
which recently began the manufact

which was sold to a silk concern. The
|, Green Ridge plant was equipped and
at work before the project was known
| among even a small number Of bust
ness men.
At the Dec 10 meeting of the board
officers for 1899 will be nominated. The
election will be held at the January
| meeting. On the 18th some definite
stand will probably be taken on the
mayoraltv election. the recent report
