DIED FROM NATURAL CAUSES.
Captain Nolte's Sudden Demise Due
to Kidney Affection.


An autopsy performed by order OF Cor
oner Carr over the remains OF Capt
Carl Nolte at the morgue at the Sixth
precinct station, yesterday morning, dis
closed the fact that Nolte died of kidney
complaint. One OF the organs showed tvl-
dence of having been punctured, which
substantiates the statement often made by
Captain Nolte that he had been stabbed in
the kidneys with a spear while exploring
in South Africa.
After the autopsy Gustave Dittmar. the
German consular agent in this city. and
who had recently employed Captain Nolte,
called at the morgue and stated that ar
rangements would be made for the funeral
Of the deceased. He furnished Moreue-
master Schoeneberger with the address OF
the parents OF Captain Nolte and requested
that they be notified OF the dsatn. The
address given is Adlereliht Platz, Frank
foTt-on the Main, Germany.
Mr.. Dittmar stated that In the event
reply was not received at an early date
friends of the deceased would defray the
expenses incident to the funeral.

WARSHIP'S RUSH ORDERS.
Excitement in Victoria over Sudden
Departure of Torpedo Boat VI
rago-Secrecy Maintained.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Tntellisencer.
VICTORIA, b. c., Jan. 1s.-lntense ex-
element was caused in the city tonight
by the sudden departure Of the torpedo
boat yirago. which received rush orders
to put to sea- This was the result of
cipher telegram which was received late
in the evening by Capt Eagen, of I'll. M.
s. Ieander, who Is senior officer of the
station during the absence of Admiral
Beaumont.
The telegram was received from the lat
ter and the contents are of course, secret
but messengers were at once dispatched
up the city to summon the engineer and
skipper of the virago. both officers being
at a theater. Men were also hurried on
board and, in very short time, the tor
pedo boat put to sea. Messengers were
also dispatched to the officers in COM
mand of Work Point barracks, and what
ever the information contained in the
telegram may have been, it caused great
activity in military and naval quarters.
All kinds of rumors are circulated. but
their truth cannot be ascertained. as
naval officers will disclose nothing. Ger
tain it is that the Virago is dispatched
on very important business, the result of
sudden orders, probably information of
designs on Notifications or ships, the re-
suiL of Boer Vaccinations.

formidable at any stage 1t certainly re-
ceived its deatl1blow when the opposition

facts. In any case, Lord Roberts, whose

possibility that troops mentioned in his
