ITALY BACKED BY
GREAT BRITAIN

ROME, March 14.-In the Chamber OF
Deputies to-day Admiral Canevaro,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, made
comprehensive statement regarding
Italy's action in China. He confirmed
the reported recall of Signor MARITIME,
Italian Minister at Peking, and an
nounced that Italy had obtained the
approval of Great Britain and Japan
before demanding the concession at San
Nun.
Great Britain had required, he said.
that force should not be employed. and
he promised in return to give her
diplomatic support to Italy at the court
of Peking.
Other friendly powers. the Minister
continued, were notified and indicated
their acquiescence.
Admiral Canevaro then covered the
events already known, explaining that
Signor Martino's action had been dis
avowed because his ultimatum con-
traVened an agreement with England
that only in the event of Sir Claude
Macdonald british Minister at Pek-
ing) being unable to induce the Tsung
Ii Yamen to take back Signor Mar
tino's first notes should Italy resume
liberty of action in order to obtain re-
paration. He expressed confidence in
the ultimate success Of ItalyS pollcy
and reminded the Chamber that Italy S
duty was to refrain from force so far
as possible. since she had gone to China
without any previous provocative incl
dent or violated rights to justify re-
sort of violence that might IL
adopted disturb the international equ1-
librium in the Far East and exercise a
fatal reflex action in Europe, besides
iniuring Great Britain, who had proved
herself Italy's cordial friend, and ex-
pose to conflict other powers that had
shown themselves the well-wishers of
Italy.

CHINN INDICTED FOR
A COMMON NUISANCE
Grand Jury Charges the Kentuckian
With Attempt to Provoke
an Assault.

LEXINGTON, KY. March 14.-As re-
suit of the assault made by Colonel
Jack" Chinn upon Hon. c. J. Bronston
in the Phoenix Hotel last Wednesday the
Grand Jury to-day returned an indict-
ment against Chinn for a common nuis-
ance "by using insulting, abusive, inde-
cent and riotous language for the pur-
pose of provoking an assault" The in
dictment is very unusual.
Chinn is known all over the country as
a politician and race horse starter. He
is a fine pistol shot and is considered
thoroughly fearless. He went to Nevada
this winter to assist in the reelection of
Senator Stewart. He led the Blackburn
Senatorial fight in 1896.

n n ANILA, March IS, 8 a.
MI m.-Late yesterday Gen
eral Wheaton's column
encountered the enemy in such
force between Pateros and Ia
guig as to necessitate a change
in the original plans. The cav
airy attacked a rebel stronghold
in the jungle, driving the enemy
into Pateros. The Americans
had one killed and two wounded.
SCOTS battery shelled the city
and woods effectively.
Later the enemy crossed the
river from Pasig. Two compa-
nies of the Second Oregon In
fantry cleared the right bank
after a sharp engagement and
then retired with three wounded.
In the meantime the Washing
ton Volunteers closed in, driv-
ing small bodies of the rebels
back upon Pateros. One man
was killed.
During the night the enemy
burned the town of Pasig.
12:4O p. m.-General Wheaton's brig
age continues the work of clearing out
the rebels. around Pasig.
S The Washington volunteers have cap
tured and burned Pateros, meeting with
sharp fire from the enemy while
crossing the river.
To-day's fighting was like that of the
past week, the insurgents occasionally
making a stand, but eventually fleeing
Their loss is supposed to have been
small, as the Americans were unable to
see the enemy in the thickets.
The progress of the American ad-
vance is slow.
Branlis Sorita and Jose Ruiz, the
Spanish officers who were recently
tried by military commission for the
embezzlement of $10.540 (Mexican)
funds devoted to the maintenance of
prisoners, and who were convicted and
sentenced to pay a fine of $2500 in gold

ter, acted on his own authority. The
Government has not sent him any in
structionS upon this point, but 1t Will
unQuestionably support him to the eX-
treme in any action he may take. 1t
is said at the State Department that
there have been exchanges between the
United States and Spain through in
direct channels touching these particu-
lar prisoners, dating back to the sigma
ture of the protocol last August. The
United States Government undertook
finally to secure the release of the pris-
oners. 1t never contemplated trying to
secure their release by ransom, but
simply through the suppression of the
insurrection, and cannot be held bJ any
requirement of international law to do
more than has been done to secure the
release of the prisoners. There Will be
no relaxation of the efforts in this di-
rection, but as the United States cam
paign in the Philippines is being con-
Quoted with all the energy possible,
and as the release of the prisoners de-
pends upon the issue of that campaign.
there can be no complaint of failure
on the part of the United States to
meet it's obligations.
In preventing the Spanish Govern
ment from negotiating directly with
the insurgents, it is said here, General
Otis was undoubtedly correct in his at
titude. Inasmuch as the ratification
of the peace treaty has not been eff
fected, the United States and Spain are
technically in a state of war, qualified
only by the operation of the protocol
suspending hostilities. In this condi-
ton there is no authority on the part of
the Spaniards to negotiate with the in
surgents without the explicit consent
of the United States. Under the rules
of war alone there would be still ample
warrant for any action General Otis
might take calculated to prevent the
insurgents from receiving supplies of
food, clothing, munitions of war or
money, for the latter can always. with
more or less difficulty, be resolved into
the former, even in the face of block
ade If the Spanish Minister of For
eign Affairs feels called upon to ad-
dress himself respecting this subject
to the State Department, directly or
indirectly he undoubtedly would be
informed that General Otis must be
sustained, though reassured as to the
intentions of the United States to use
all proper efforts to carry out its un-
dertaking.
