prised him greatly. which is not re
markable. as the empire contains much

Of vastly greater experiences than he.
But OF all that his guides had TO show
the great prelate that which excited
his greatest wond. rment was the wood

The Lama was entertained by the

While Okuma and his guest were con-

unusual about one of the Counts legs
The latter, observing this. had the in

Then he gave free expression to his
astonishment. He said that surgery

and Men Are Freed

New York. March 15.-The twelve
sailors and firemen of the British tramp
steamer Camperdown, whwo mutinied on
March 4 when the vessel went on the
shoals OF Cape Lookout off the North
Carolina coast and who were arrested
here have been discharged by u. s. Com
missioner Shields. The men shipped
under British papers and Charles Fox.
OF the British consuls Office. who con-
templated extraditiou proceedings. asked
that the men be released. In explanatory
of this, Mr. Fox stated that Captain
John Smith, of the Camperdown. refused
to go to England to press his complaint
against the mutineers- The consul has
no authority TO compel Captain Smith On
go to England, consequently further
proceedings on the complaint would be
futile, Mr. Fox said.
