RESULT & THE INQUIRY.
New Light On the Case of Our Naval
Officers Who Were Impris-
oned a Venice.
CAPT. gAYToA'S COURT Of INQUIRY.
1t Developed that the Officers Were
the victims of Misdirected Zeal
on the Part of the Police, supple
mented by an UnreasOning At
tack by a Civilian Mob.

London, June 10.-The text Of the
findings of the court of inquiry in
the case of the United States naval
officers imprisoner at Venice in the
latter part of April throws a new
and important light on the affair. 1t
now appears that the United States
consul at Venice, Henry A. Johnson,
and the lawyer provided by him for
the defense, urged the officers to
plead that they were violently drunk.
This they utterly declined to do.
Rear-Admiral Aren't s. Crownin-
shield, commanding the European
squadron, in reviewing the findings
of the court, severely censures Capt.
James II. Dayton, the commander of
the Chicago, for not personally at
tending to the defense of the officers,
and comments on the "reyolting in
dignities" suffered by the officers
while confined at Venice. Under the
circumstances, Admiral Crowinshield,
holds "court-martial would be a
farce ..,.
Capt. Dayton's court of inquiry
minutely traces the movements of
the officers of the Chicago on the day
of their arrest, and says Lieut., John
S. Doddridge and Surgeon Robert e.
Ledbetter were affected by liquor
to noticeable extent, but were not
intoxicated in the ordinary meaning
of the term, and that no evidence
that the other parties were affected
by drinking"

aw-Abiding Citizens Prosecuted Withou,
an Effort by the Authorities
to Protect Them.

Carbondale, H., June 16,-The race
war which has been in progress at
Eldorado, H., since May 29, when
mob attacked the colored normal and
industrial institute, a school modelled
after the celebrated Tuskegee (Ala.)
school, still continues. The homes OF
colored citizens have been stoned,
warnings sent to the occupants to
leave the vicinity, and shots fired into
their homes late at night. Many,
through fear, have left, sacrificing
their homes and in some instances
their crops. There remains only five
families, and two of them will leave at
once. Last night mob visited Rev.
Peter Green, pastor of the African
Methodist church, and stoned his
house. Some of the white residents
profess to fear that colored labor
will be used in the mines which are
being opened in that vicinity.
Jefferson d, Aston, president OF
the normal, has been chosen as the
head Of the school for life, according
to the incorporation papers on file at
Springfield, and against him an in
tense feeling exists. The board OF
trustees, Of which DR.. Mitchell,
white physician of Harrisburg, is
president, will consider both the re-
moval of the school and the choosing
of a new president at the coming
meeting, June 81. Gov. Yates has
been appealed to for protection.
