LIVE NATIONAL AFFAIRS.
Nicely May Be Acquitted.

Considerable apprehension SEEMS to be
felt at the Department OF Justice over
the Nicely case in view of the refusal OF
the most important Government W.T.
nesses to attend the trial and present
testimony Upon which it was believed
the alleged Cuban frau's would lead 10
the prompt conviction IF Nicely and his
sentence to long term of Imprisonment.
Without these witnesses the Covert
tlont's case is weakened to All extert
which may result in the prosecution be.
ing so light as to render verdict OF
guilty doubtful. War Department Off
Gals are said to be alarmed over the
situation, and while Nicely is in no sense
prisoner of the army the fact that the
alleged frauds were committed while the
island was under military control gives
to the ofensc peculiar military impor-
lance Neither the War Department nor
the Department of Justice has airy special
authority now over the case. for with the
surrender of Nicely to the Cuban judicial
authorities and his extradition under
special act of Congress he passed to the
Crban judiciary for trial by court. of
which the judges, as well as the prose
cutting attorney, are Cubans.

Water Let Into the Ship.No Explosives
OIL Board

New Orleans; La. (SpeciaD.-What
is regarded as an attempt of a Boer
sympathizer to blow up British trans
port occurred shortly after midnight,
when there was terrific explosion at
the stock landing where the Harrison
steamer Mechanician Is mo6red. The
Mechaiiican is to carly mules to South
Africa. The explosion shook houses,
ratified dishes and ava kened people ior
some distance around Most Of the
crew of the ship were asleep, but the
explosion brought them quickly from
their berths to the deck An examina-
ton showed a large dent in the star
board side Of the ship. Two plates at
the waters edge had been sprung and
considerable water was let into the ship.
Pumps were Immediately PIT to WORK,
and when daylight came it was found
the vessel was in no danger Of sinking,
and that the damage done was nc, sc-i-
Gus. The crew OF the vessel denied that
there was any explosives on board, ard
there seems little doubt, according 70
the statements Of those who exa",,'cd
the ship, that the explosion was from
the outside and that some soft OF bomb
or torpedo had been used.
Alfred Leblanc, general agent OF
the Harrison Line, visited the Mcchap:-
clan and a report Of the damage nolc
was submitted to him, He said tlnee
large plates on the starboard SIDE 81 the
boat had been stove in anil 10 rivets
had been broken off or KNOCKED cc;h-
pletely from their places. AS :he ship
was making considerable water it was
decided to shift the ballast so as to lit
the damaged section out OF the water.
1t is thought the damage can lie rcptt-
ed here. Agent Leblanc SAID the Nc
chanician will be loaded with a cargo
of mules and get away for ,,onti1 Africa
as soon as possible
A British officer, who was on the ship
said the explosion was terrific. and that
a column of water went high up in the
air and came down on deck.
Many of the muleteers, who have
from time to time left the city on the
British transports, have returned with
complaints of i'll treatment, and NUM-
Der OF suits are now pending against
British ships in the Federal courts.

IIawailans Ask Protection.

The Interior Department has received
a resolution passed BY the Hawai- an Leg
isiature praying that Congress impose
duty on all coffee imported from other
countries land in this way protect that
industry in Hawaii and other parts of
the United States"
The resolution will be forwarded to
Congress at the opening of next session.
1t says that the coffee industry in Hawaii
is now in depressed condition and is
threatened to be abandoned on account
Of low prices ard removal of protective
duty on all coffee imported into the re-
public of Hawaii before the annexation
and the large amounts imported into the
United States from Brazil, Mexico Cen
trail America and other countries free
Of duty. The resolution refers to the
large coffee area, the amount OF Ameri
can capital invested there and inability
to compete with the low prices where
cheap labor is employed, as in the coun-
tries mentioned.

as commandart of the Boston Navy
Yard is expected here, and it is said off
cialy that the Navy Department off
Gals have selected an officer for an as

Admiral has made no request for relief.
