THE CHARLESTON INQUIRY
Captain and Officers Exoner-
ated From All Blame.
DECISION OF THE COURT
Chart Supplied by the Bureau of Navi-
cation Showed Clear Water Where
the Vessel Struck.

Washington, Macrh 2S.-In accord
ance with the naval regulations. Ad-
miral Watson convened 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 off GERS
and men on the Charleston from all of
the aspersions that have been passed
upon them, including one to the effect
that they were 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
a 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 go
clear. The captain and navigator were
constantly upon the BRIDGE The chart
supplied by the bureau OF navigation
showed clear water where the vessel
struck, and the sailing directions also
gave no information of any dangers to
navigation in this immediate locality.
The court is of the opinion that, in
accordance with the evidence adduced,
the captain and officers of the United
States cruiser are exonerated from all
blame or responsibility, and that no
further action should be taken in the
matter of the wreck of that vessel"

GREAT STEEL FIGHT ENDED
Carnegie and Frick Settle Their Differ
.ances-Reareanizati

Carnegie and Frick Settle Their Differ
ences-ReOrganizatio
Pittsburg, March 26.-The differ
ences between H. G. Frick and An
drew Carnegie have been settled. The
parties interested have agreed upon a
plan of reorganization, the new con-
Germ to be incorporated under the laws
of New Jersey.
The Carnegie Steel Plant, Ltd, be-
comes stock company with capital
at from 5000, 100000 to $3.50, 600, 900,
the famous "ironclad agreement" is
wiped out, all litigation between the
partners in the Carnegie Company is
dropped, and II. G. Frick, the ex -presi-
dent of the company, virtually secures
all he has contended for.
These facts are embodied in an
authorized statement issued tonight by
the company.
AS the capital of the Carnegie Com
pany, Ltd, is $25, 100000, under the
proposed plan of reorganization, each
partner will hold either eight or ten
times the amount in the corporation.
As Mr.. Frick holds per cent of the
company stock in the Carnegie Steel
Company, he will receive in stock of
the new concern, $12,000,000 if it is
capitalized at 5000, 100000; $15,
900 if the figure is put up to $3.50, 900, :
O00.. His contention in his suit was
that his stock was worth at least $15,-
OO0.OOO, and he sued to recover the
difference between that and the amount
offered him when he was invited under
the "ironclad' provisions to resign.

increase OF IMMIGRATION
Many Came From Europe
the Past Year.
oNE-FouRTH WERE ITALIANS
Conditions and Facts Shown by Re-
port of the New York Superintendent
of Labor Statistics.

Albany. N. Y, March 27.-The an
nual report of John Mackin, state
superintendent of labor statistics, says:
Immigration returns for the quarter
ended December 81, 1899, show an in
crease of 23,O12 more than in the last
three months of 1898. In the latter
quarter the arrivals numbered 81 $50;
in the same three months of 1899, 74,-
892. The largest proportionate gain of
those races recording at least 1000 ar
rivals was made by the Slovaks. The
Polish race was second, the Crotians
and Slavonians third.
SIN 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
were 18, 149, or 24.2 per cent, of that
class who landed during the quarter
which ended last December. Next in
the numerical order come the He
brews, with O,076; Poles, 6,4O1; Slo-
vaks, 6,226; Germans, 6.118; Scandl-
navians, 4,436; Northern Italians,
4.140, and Irish, 3,745.
"Of the 72, 892 immigrants arriving
during the quarter, four-fifths were
destined to the states composing the
North Atlantic division. of which
group the state of New York received
the largest number. Those who went
to the West division numbered 1885,"

Weather Bureau.


Washington, March %. Chief
Willis Moore, of the weather bureau,
has issued an order prohibiting persons
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,
toned in the confidential reports which
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
men who are regarded as most thorough
and competent, doing every detail of
their work with the utmost promptness
and accuracy. gradually became care
less and lax. / sent inspectors to in
vestigate, and in a number of cases it
was found to be directly attributably to
the use of cigarettes. / am not prud-
ish, nor do l wish to assume any au-
thority whatever over any privilege
which the employees of the service
should have, but, as public servant, ]
feel that it is my duty to correct any
evil that may exist even if in attempt
ing to make this claim am overstep
ping my authority. The order applies
to the enture force of the bureau
throughout the entire service. Gig.

and pipes are not barred.o

"FREE STATE OF ACRE"
Twelve Revolutionary Chiefs Ask With.
drawal OF Brazilian Forces.

Twelve Revolutionary Chiefs Ask with
drawal OF Brazilian Forces.
Rio Janeiro, March 28.-The chiefs
of the revolutionary government at
Acre have requested the withdrawal OF
all the Brazilian forces, naval and mill
tary, affirming that free Brazilians will
never become Bolivian. The request.
or protest, ends thus:
Independence or death! Long live
the free state of Acrep' 1t is signed
by 12 chiefs.
There is serious danger of complica-
tions between the state government of
Amazonas and the general government
at Rio, owing to the fact that the peo-
pie of the Amazon valley, as we'll as of
the state government, are in favor of
aiding the Brazilians of Acre, estimat-
ed at 23, 900, against the Bolivian gov
ernment, and the Insignificant Bolivian
population of Acre, estimated at 1000.
The people of the state of Para are Bit
terry opposed to the intervention of the
central government in favor of the
Bolivian authorities in Acre. and the
deputies of Para and AmazInas will
firmly oppose all interference by the
Brazilian military forces. Letters re-
ceived from the City of Acre say the
independent state of Acre has sent
diplomatic notes to the governments of
Austro- Hungary, Germany, Italy, Great
Britain. France, Spain Switzerland
and Portugal, requesting them to recog-
nize the independence of the new state.

A SCENE IN COURT.
Excitement at the Examination of Caleb
Powers.

Powers.
Frankfort, KY, March 2S.-The
most thrilling event of the examination
of Republican Secretary of State Caleb
Powers occurred this afternoon shortly
after O'Clock, and for few minutes
1t looked as it serious trouble could not
be prevented.
Judge George Denny, for the defend
ant, in an argument upon the compe-
tency of question, said: 1T is per-
fectly lawful for the people to come
here, and to come armed. / came here
several times myself" He was re-
ferring to the crowd that was present
at the mass meeting held in the state
house yard just prior to Governor Goe-
bel's assassination.
Colonel Campbell, for the prosecu-
tion,, replied that he did not consider it
lawful, and was surprised to know that
Mr.. Denny had come here armed.
Denny denied having made such state
ment, and said that he did not come
armed. Campbell insisted that he
made the statement. Both men were
very much excited, and spoke with
yehemence, and, with arms shaking,
commenced to advance toward each
other. The court room was crowded,
and the audience evidently thought a
fight was on, and made mad rush for
the doors and windows. people falling
over each other in their wild efforts to
get out of the room. Several police
men and deputy sheriffs were crying
for order, and Judge. Moore was bring
ing his gavel down with terrific force
and urging the people to take their
seats. After five or 10 minutes of the
most exciting scenes since the assassin
alton, quiet was restored.

ing machinists, formerly employed by
the Siemens & Halske Company, today
returned to work for that corporation,
their demands for a nine-hour working
day and a minimum scale of wages
having been granted. The firm, how
ever, refused to recognize the business
agent, otherwise the walking dele

through a 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 a
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.

MINING UNDER THE SEA-
Secretary Roots Reply to the
Senate's Resolution.
NO CONCESSIONS GRANTED
Permits Were Given-No Law to Pre-
vent Prospecting Under Water If
Navigation Is Not Obstructed.

Washington, March 26.-Secretary
Root today transferred to the senate
his reply to the resolution requesting
information on the war departments
practice of granting permits for gold
dredging off the Alaskan coast. he
states that no concessions or grants to
excavate the gold-bearing ned of the
sea at or in the vicinity of Cape Nome
or in other Alaskan waters have been
made by the secretary of war or any
other official of the war department.,
but that permits have been given un-
der the navigation act of March 3, 1899,
to excavate or dredge for gold at points
where there can be no hindrance to
navigation. He states that prospectors
must secure such permits to avoid liza
bility to heavy fines under the act.
The secretary adds:
Gas this statute was designed solely
for the protection of navigation, it has
been the practice of the war depart
ment to grant permits to persons deslr-
ing to excavate for any purpose when
the work is not such as unjustly to at
feet navigation, and is otherwise law.
full. Permits thus granted are not ex-
elusive; they do not preclude any
number of similar permits applicable
to the same territory; they are not
grants or concessions, and they confer
no rights whatever, except immunity
from prosecution under the statute.
As there seems to be no legal rea-
son why all citizens of the United
States should not have the same oppor-
tunity to prospect for gold and acquire
mining rights under the mining laws
upon land under water as they have
upon land not under water, the depart
ment determined, as general policy
in the chief of engineers and secretary
of war by this statute, to relieve all
citizens applying from the obstacle in
terposed by this statute as long as their
proposed operations do not, in fact, in.

BAD NEWS FROM MANILA.
Rebels Capture Quantities of Gums 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 a Hong Kong
paper sent the following uncensored
letter to his journal:
manila, Feb. 13.-It is 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 25,
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 stern reality, and parties of so
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 of
small, rowing bands. waiting at every
convenient cover until the prey is
caught.
sin 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 inn
mediate districts there have been no
repetitions of the trouble.
''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 of
the country. England's policy in
India is frequently discussed, and her
swift and severe punishments are looked
upon as model peacemakers. The arms
were probably captured from commits
sary trains."
