LAFAYETTE RELEA e.

Her Capture Turns Out to be the Result of
Serious Mistake.
Key West, May 7-The French steam
er Lafayette which was captured off Ha.
vana Thursday evening BY the gunboat
Annapolis while trying to run the block
ade and brought to this city yesterday
morning was Immediately released.
Commodore Watson received orders
from Washington to instantly release the
Lafayette and send her to Havana under
escort.
The capture of the Frenchman by the
gunboat Annapolis turns out to have been
an unfortunate incident, resulting from
mistakes, but no protest has been made
by the representatives of the French
government to the United States.
The officials here declare that this will
close the affair. 1t appears that before
the Lafayette sailed for Havana the
French legation in Washington was in
structed to communicate with the safe
department. This was done and per.
mission granted to the steamer to enter
and discharge her passengers and cargo
with the understanding that she would
take on nothing there. Instructions fol
the ful6llment of this agreement were
sent from Washington to Admiral Samp.
fson's squadron. and it was only learned
yesterday, after the capture was made
that they were never delivered.
In the afternoon United States Com
missioner Otto, United States pistric,
Attorney STRIPPING and number of other
federal officers went out to the Lafayette
examined her papers and cabled the
state department for instructions. These
came without delay in the form of an or
der to Commodore Watson.

Electrical Tests Show That Manila Cable II
Cut in tho Bay.
Hong Kong, May 6-Electrical tests
made by the Eastern Telegraph COM
pany indicate that the cable at Manila
was cut somewhere in Manila bay and
not on shore. This indicates beyond all
doubt that the cable was cut by Admiral
Dewey, who was then in control of the
bay. Telegraph experts here say that
Dewey either has no appliances in his
squadron for handling the cable or does
not want to immobilIze one of his ships
at time like this. The telegraph COM
pany will not send repair ships till the
danger is over. as t is probable that the
admiral would seize the ship and press
it into service, regardless of the flag, and
leave it to the United States to pay in.

Kenneth Stokes, OF Smiths Mill,
some time ago wrote to different
Commercial schools for information
regarding tuition. etc. Not having
an over abundance Of money. he de-
cided to attend a school at distance
that offered almost every thing free
in the way Of tuition, car fare, etc.
When Mr. Stokes arrived at this par
ticular school, he found, to his sad
disappoint ment that the promises
made by the school were not made in
good faith, and he became SO dis.
gusted with it that be decided to 20
hack to his home, and then, If posi-
BILE, attend a school known to be
thorough and reliable. He is now at
tending the Mankato Commercial
college. and 10 say that he is well
pleased is to speak Of il mildly, In
stead Of taking a three months
course, as he had first planned, he has
decided to take six months. This
ought to be a sufficient warning to
young people not to enter school
that in order to get students, has to
throw out any catch-penny schemes.
