those races recording at least 1000 ar
rivals was made by the Slovaks. The
Polish race was second, the Crotian'
and Slavonians third.
"In point of numbers the Southern
Italians still retain the lead in immi
grafton, the arrivals of that race being
nearly one fourth of the total. There

CHARLESTON WRECK
Captain and Officers Exoner
ated From All Blame.
FINDINGS OF COURT OF INQUIRY
Chart Supplied by the Bureau OF NRvi
cation Showed Clear Water Whore
the Vessel Struck.

Washington, Macrh 28.-In accord
ance with the naval regulations. Ad-
miral Watson convened a court of in
quiry at Manila to fix the responsibility
for the loss of the cruiser Charleston.
The report of that court was made pub
lie today at the navy department, and
is complete vindication Of the officers
and men on the Charleston from all of
the aspersions that have been passed
upon them, including one to the effect
that they we're intoxicated when the
ship struck.
The findings of the court are as fol-
lows:
"The evidence adduced shows most
conclusively that every precaution re-
quired by United States regulations
upon ships approaching land was taken
by Captain George w. Pigman to insure
the safety of the vessel under his COM
mand against accident. Proper look
outs were stationed; leadsmen with
leads were in both channels, and were
kept in constant use; the Sir William
Thompson was used and ready aud the
patent log carefully standardized. That
vigilant outlook was kept by the Off
Ger of the deck Is shown by the fact Of
his discerning the Chow or broken
water, ahead, which he Immediately
reported to the captain, and the course
of the ship was at once changed to &C
clear. The captain and navigator were
constantly upon the bridge. The chart
supplied by the bureau of navigation
showed clear water where the vesse
struck, and the sailing directions alsC
gave no information of any dangers tt
navigation in this immediate locality
"The court is of the opinion that, il
accordance with the evidence adduced
the captain and officers of the United
States cruiser are exonerated from al
blame or responsibility, and that ne
further action should be taken in thu
matter of the wreck of that vessel"

There is serious danger of complica-
tions between the state government of

The people Of the state Of Para are Bit

BAD NEWS FROM MANILA.
Rebels Capture Quantities OF Guns and
Ammunition.

San Francisco, March 26.-The
steamer Hong Kong Maru brings from
Hong Kong news of surprising state
of affairs existing in the Philippines.
The correspondent of Hong Kong
paper sent the following uncensored
letter to his journal:
manila, Feb. lS.-It is a strange
state of affairs that exist in the Philip
pines today. Improvement is visible
in nearly every quarter. Civil govern
ments are rapidly being established in
every town of Importance, and garri-
sons and patrols are in process of exten-
sion wherever Americans hold territory,
and yet it is an undeniable fact that
since January the insurgents have
captured number OF rifles and quanti-
ties of ammunition from the Ameri-
cans, almost equalling the sum total OF
American captures from the insurgents.
Besides this, the casualty rate for
the last two weeks will come very
close to being heavier than at any other
period of the insurrection, with the ex-
ception of the time of the outbreak and
the fortnight beginning with March %.
1899. These are hard facts to swallow,
and somewhat alarming into the BAR
gain.
"The threatened guerrilla warfare
that was heard of on every side seems
to be a stern reality, and parties of 90
or smaller numbers are ambushed and
Jumped" day after day. Supply
trains, small escorts and scouting par
ties are the special objects of attack,
and the country seems to be full ol
small, rowing bands, waiting at every
convenient cover until the prey IL
caught.
"In one or two instances heavy pa
trolls have quickly avenged these raids
by setting out Immediately and hunting
down and killing as many of the ma
rauders as possible. These lessons
have not been forgotten, and in the i'm
mediate districts there have been nc
repetitions of the trouble.
1.-THE authorities are giving the ques
tion considerable attention, and every
effort will be made to insure the public
safety. for on this depends the future o
the country. England's policy II
India is frequently discussed, and hel
swift and severe punishments are looked
upon as model peacemakers. The arm
were probably captured from commits

Washington, March 28. = Chief
Willis Moore, OF the weather bureau,

connected with the service from smok-
ing cigarettes during Office hours, and
stating further that those who smoked
cigarettes at any time would be men,

are made quarterly to him by chiefs of
the several offices and divisions through
out the entire service. Chief Moore
said today:
"The order was issued after careful
consideration and thorough investiga-
ton of the evils resulting from cigarette
smoking. 1t will stand. In this SER
vice we are compelled to maintain a
very strict discipline, in order to secure
satisfactory service. Some of our

and accuracy. gradually became care

was found to be directly attributably to

Chicago, March 28.--Over 100 stIik-
ing machinists, formerly employed by
the Siemens & Halske Company, today
returned to work for that corporation,
their demands for nine-hour working
day and minimum scale of wages
having been granted. The firm, how
ever, refused to recognize the business
agent, otherwise the walking dele
gate," and negotiations were conducted
through shop committee, which will
hereafter negotiate with the manage
ment in place OF the business agent.
All difficulties that may hereafter arise
will be referred to arbitration for settle-
ment. The settlement of the strike is
looked upon in the nature of COM
promise, though both sides claim
victory.
Labor leaders claim that negotia-
tions are being conducted with other
shops for the return to work of the
striking machinists under similar con-
ditions. Efforts OF several other ma
chinery manufactures to open their
shops today met with failure, as no
men appeared for work in response to
advertisements.

Taxation in Cuba.

Havana, March Ex-Governor Gen
eral Wood has recently had interviews
with persons of influence, who have
stenuously urged the taxation OF valu-
able property rather than each bag Of
sugar as it is manufactured. Those
who hold this view contend that under
the present system impediments are
thrown in the way of production
They point out that many valuable
estates have been laying idle and un'
productive for years, some even having
complete sugar plants. The owners,
who are rich men. are living in Paris,
Madrid and other European cities,
quite untaxed for their property in
Cuba.
General Wood feels that If these
properties are taxed, their owners will
be forced either to sell them or to make
them productive.
The meeting called today Of those
iavoring universal suffrage resulted in
a failure. The only persons present
we're about 30 negroes and several
