BY ADVANCE TO FIRST RANK

rs OESUt4s a. DE SOUZA CANA
X varro, representative here of the
Kingdom of Portugal. has been
honored by his government, and Is now
one Of the first rank officers Of the
foreign office. This promotion came to
the we'll known consul recently, when
through vacancy caused by the
death of one of the seven first rank
officials, the minister of foreign affairs
advanced him to the place. The action
of the government in thus showing APP
probation of the work here of the
consul. has met with the most hearty
approval on the part Of the members
of the local colony, ard the greeting
which is given to the consul upon his
return will be all the more hearty
The news of his advancement was
conveyed to his friends here In a letter
written by Senior Canavarro to Mr..
w. NJ. Giffard, of w. G.. Irwin 4 Co.,
and has been the subject of much ia
vorable comment by all those to whom
the Information has been communicate
ed. In his letter Senior Canavarro
says he has been spending the fall
months in visiting his friends in the
districts outside the city, and his re-
turn to Lisbon was made about the
first Of November. He was in excel
lent health, as he had been improving
ever since he landed upon his home
soil. He was then preparing for his re-
turn to his post and expected to leave
for this city about the first of the
year, as he planned to spend the holi-
days with relatives in Lisbon.

the laws were framed to make this pos

which permits the taking over by the

NEITHER SIDE WINS
Draw Ends Cable Chess Match
Between America and
England. "

New York, April 2O.-After a fierce
battle, which lasted two hours, the
chess players representing the United
States ana the United Kingdom, broke
even in the sixth international match
by cable. u.s.
The Englishmen scored two games
and kept the lead until this evening,
when victories by Newman and Pills
bury offset their advantage. Two
games were agreed upon as drawn,
so when the 18th hour, London time,
approached, there were still four
games going, which by rule should
have been submitted to the referee
for adjudication. By mutual consent,
however, two more games were called
draws and each side vas awarded one
game, making totals five to five.
This compromise met with general
approval and was considered very
fair, as the decision of the referee
could not have been otherwise.
The fate Of the Newnes trophy is
still in allegiance. The deed. of gift,
while mentioning that after three
matches the trophy should be account
ed in possession of the last custodian,
does not state clearly whether a drawn
match, as the present one, is to be
counted alone, or whether it breaks
the sequence.
The question will be submitted to
Referee Baron Rothschild of Vienna.

WIND AND SNOW
Visited by Terrific Storm
That Causes Much
Damage.

Clevelan., Ohio, April 20.-A terri
fic storm of wind and snow that pre-
vailed in this city and vicinity today
was one of the most disastrous to the
telephone and telegraph service ever
experienced. The wind, which came
from the north, reached at times a
velocity of more than go miles per
nour. Hundreds of poles were torn
down and wire communication with
all points east of Cleveland was en-
tirely cut off. In the west and south
it was but little better, although the
telegraph companies succeeded in
maintaining communication with Chi
cage and Cincinnati throughout the
day. I.
Many streets of the city were
strewn with broken poles and tangled
wire. Several persons were severely
shocked by coming in contact with
live wires, but so far as reported no
one was seriously injured. Five or
six horses were instantly killed by
stepping on wires concealed under
deep snow and slush. Traffic on the
steam and electric lines was badly
delayed. In some cases the suburban
electric roads were completely tied
up, owing to immense snow drifts on
the tracks. No less than eight or nine
fire stations were cut off from head
quarters, owing to a general prostra-
ton of Tie wires, and should a fire
break OUT in the isolated districts. it
is feared that great loss would follow.
The loss suffered by light and tele'
phone companies will be very heavy.

complete and these three departments
nave but little more preparation to
make before the opning of the big fair

presence at Buffalo during the expo

Pearson Hobson, whose daring feat
of sinking the Merrimac during the

work Of raising the disabled Spanish
vessels in Mamma harbor, has aroused
great interest in him throughout the
country. -
Lieutenant Hobson recently was or
dered to the bureau of construction
and repair for special duty" It has
been the desire of those in charge of
the exposition to have him connected
with the naval exhibit during the
summer, but Admiral Bowles, chief
constructor, was loath to reduce his
already small force in order to allow
| Hobson to go to Buffalo. However,
he has nov yielded to popular desire,
and Hobson will be with the naval
departments representatives there.
Secretary Long has authorized the
use of a company of marines, fully
equipped, who will set up camp at the
south end OF the big government
building. Secretary Root also agreed
to send a company of coast artillery,
about 60 men, who will set up camp
near the marines anu give daily exhi-
bition drills. these two organiza.
tons will aim to present in the most
realistic style the daily round of work
Of their respective branches OF the
service.
The exhibit of the state depart.
ment has been shipped and is now on
the ground. Colonel michael, chief
clerk of the state department, who is

ALL DOUBT REMOVED
Strange Disease at San Francisco
Last February Was Btu
bonic Plague.

Washington. April 2O.-The surgeon
general of the marine hospital SER
vice today made public the report of
the commission appointed by the sec
rotary of the treasury consisting of
Doctors Simon Fletcher, F. G. Hovy
and L. F. Parker, for the independent
investigation of the plague in San
Francisco. The report is dated at
San Francisco, February 26, last, the
investigation having begun a month
previous.
The commission reported that they
found the local physicians divided in
opinion. some holding that plague ex-
listed there and others that it dad not.
The commission say, however, that ny
the 10th of February, and after a
very rigid personal inspection they
were convinced beyond possible
doubt, that cases of bubonic plague
were occurring among Chinese" Be-
tween February 6 and February -,
they found six deaths from this cause.
The commissioners made the follow.
ing recommendation:
Your commissioners feel sure, from
experience with plague in Hong Kong,
india and San Francisco, that once it
is established the plague exists among
the Asiatics of a town, every Asiatic
who has fever should be suspected as
a case Of infection with plague until
the disease is proven tosbe other than
the plague, and every dead body
should be treated as a plague cadaver
until a psychological examination of
glands, lungs and spleen (including
the animal inoculation) has proven the
absence from the body of the bacillus
pests. Only by such precautioA will
:. be possible to avoid missing actual
plague, cases.

on Second
Ballot.
Conclusion

FRANKFORT, KY, April 2O.-The jury
in the case of Captain Garrett Ripley,
charged with completely in the shoot
ing of Governor VIM. Goebel, today
rendered a verdict of not guilty.
Although the jury was out four
hours most Of the time was taken up
in discussing the case in the jury
room. On the first ballot, ten jurors
voted mot guilty and two voted
guilty. me two who voted guilty
said they believed the evidence
showed the defendant connected with
the alleged conspiracy, but when
they Learned that either life impris-
onment or the death ~entence must be
imposed and that a shorter sentence
woul. not be imposed, they came over
and voted with the majority for an
acquittal.
The verdict was generally ap'
proved, though it was a surprise, as
it was generally predicted there would
be a hung jury. Captain Ripley is
the fourth one of the alleged Goebel
suspects to be tried.
The jury was composed exclusive
ly of democrats.
The matter of a requisition for the
return of Ex-Governor w. S. Taylor
from Indiana for trial, is again a
theme OF speculation, but the common.
wcalth's attorney, Franklin, refuses
to discuss it, and up to loon today
no application for eXtradition papers
