THE ITATA NOT CAUGHT
Rumors from Mexico that the Charles
" ton Had Sunk the Etata Have no
Foundation in Fact,
Hearst's Tournament Sold for 33,500
Dickinson Appointed as Holcomb's
v Successor.
St. Louis, May 14. A special from
the city of Mexico says : Persistent
rumors are in"-: circulation there to then
effect that the. United States cruiser
Charleston overtook the Chilian vessel
Itata on the high seas, and a naval en
gagement was fought in which the latter
wag worsted and blown out of the water.
. The Humors Discredited.
.San Francisco, May 14. The rumors
coming from the city of Mexico to the
effect that the cruiser Charleston had
evertaken the steamer Itata and had
fired upon that vessel, are regarded here
as having no foundation. The Charles
ton passed San Diego at noon Monday.
The run to Acapulco, the nearest tele
graph point below the Gulf of California,
is thirteen hundred miles. The Charles
ton was steaming at the rate of about 15
knots and was seen to have been moving
out her course to inspect passing vessels
and even though pushed to the. highest
point of speed could not reach Acapulco
before tomorrow and any news therefore
of her operations could . not be received
through Mexican sources before her ar
rival there tomorrow.
ot Relieved In Washington. '
.Washington, May. 14.! There is no
news of the Itata. or- the Charleston- at
the navy department this morning. ' -No
credence is given the report that, the
Charleston has sunk the .Itata. In the
first place it is said that news of such an
event could only be received except
through the arrival of the Charleston at
some port connected with the telegraph
lines which has not yet occured. In the
second place nobody supposes the Itata
would resist .the Charleston, for she. is
totally, unprepared to do so. . . : . :: J .

necessity for some time and was pre
pored for it. New men have been .hired
and distributed through the yards taking
the places of those discharged.

IK. BK1U6S INDICTED.
The Theologian Will Jfow he Trli-d for i
Heresy by the Presbyterians.
New York, May 12. The New York
Presbytery today resumed consideration
of the case of Professor Briggs, of the.
chair of biblical theologv in the Union
theological seminarv. Dr. Briggs spoke
at some length in his own' defense. The
maioritv Teuort was adopted bv 44 to 30.
Professor Briggs then gave formal notice
that he would enter a protest against
the appointment of the committee, and a
complaint against the action taken by
the presbytery. Dr. Birch gave notice
he would in certain contingencies prefer
new charges againet Professor Briggs.
Rev. Dr. Shiland offered a resolution
that a judicial committee be appointed
by the moderator to take into considera
tion Professor. Briggs ; adopted. The
committe was appointed later. Ad
journed. At the regular meeting of the presby
tervin June it will probably be deter
mined when the trial of Professor Briggs
shall beein.
In the opinion of thoughtful men this ;
decision of the jSew York presbytery . is
the beginning of a far-reaching split in
the ranks of Presbyterians. As Dr. Mc
llvaine said the condemnation of Briggs
means the condemnotion of a great
party throughout the world, which is
gradually spreading in every branch of
religious work. If the general assembly
shall eventually discipline Briggs there
are several other Presbyterian ministers
who cannot conscientiously and with
self-respect continue in the fold of the
Presbyterian denomination.
SKCUKTAKY TRACY TALKS.
The Charleston Can and Will Whip the
Bsmeralda If Necessary.
Binghampton, May 12. Secretary
Tracy is in the city. In an interview
with" a Ilepublican reporter tonight, he
talked - about the .Itata incident. He
scouted the idea that the Charleston- was
inferior to the Esmeralda. It was true
the Esmeralda arried two nine-inch
guns, while the Charleston's heaviest
guns were only eight'inch, but the latter
had a larger number of six-inch guns,
wbile her armament was lour incnes
thick, and the Esmeralda's only one and
one-half inches. " The Charleston was
accordingly able to cope with the Esmeralda,-
as were, the two other United
States cruisers now on the Pacific. - The
secretary . stated definitely that the
Charleston has orders to capture the
Itata wherever she may be found upon
the high seas. He did not anticipate a
right, but in case of resistance the United
States cruiser would carry out her orders
at all hazards. He was not at liberty to
state the exact text of the cipher dis
patch sent to the Charleston, neither
would he say definitely if the cruiser San
Francisco, now in Chilian waters had
been ordered to intercept the Itata.
SAYS' KOBLK WILL RESIGN.
Report That - Carter, of Montana, Will
Secure a Cabinet Place.
Chicago, May 12. Dr. C. K. Cole, a
leading citizen of Montana and one of
Helena's richest men, received a letter
from Washington today which stated
that Secretary Noble would resign in a
couple of months, and that Thomas H.
Carter, of Helena, would be the new
secretary of the interior.
"Within two months," said Dr. Cole,
"Tom Carter will leave his desk in the
commissioners of public lands office and
occupy the room in the southeast corner
of the'interior department building. Do
I think Secretary Noble will resign?
That is inevitable. He has never got
along with the president, or the officials
in his employ. First here was a conflict
between the secretary and Commissioner
Groff, and the latter finally resigned.
Then the secretary and Indian Com
missioner Morgan had several disagree
ments. The president- and secretary
have clashed words time and time again,
and y'ou know there's a limit to these
things. My information is to the effect
that Gem;ral Noble won't ' be in the
cabinet a month after President Harri
son returns from his trip."
Hard to Convict the Murderer Who
Killed a California Editor.
Redwood Citv. May 12. The fourth
trial of Llewellyn A. Powell for killing
Ralph . Smith, editor of the Times-Gazette
over Iwo years auro, began hre today,
Judge W. G. Lerigan, of San Jose, pre
sided. Powell had two previous trials in
this county, which resulted in disagree
ment. The case was then transferred to
San Francisco at .the request of the
prosecution, and a verdict ol manslauern
ter secured. The supreme court decided
the transfer was illegal and remanded
the case back here for trial. Today, out
01 a venire of seventy-hve persons, all
out seventeen were discharged lor cause,
and no preemtory challenges have been
given by either side. It is probable that
only two or tnree jurors will be secured
from this panel.
How Sound People are Duped.
Seattle, May 12. H. C. Wilson,
freight solicitor of the Northern Pacific,
recently moved from Tacoma to Seattle.
He ordered his mail sent here. In addi
tion to his .own he also received mail : for
another of his same initials of Tacoma
who appears to have been running a mar
riage bureau. He charged a fee of f200
and gave his numerous clients from all
parts of the country the address of a
Spanish lady Carlotta Ortega, of Fres
no. This lady would write and promise
to come, but she never came, and the
Tacoma H. C. Wilson's numerous clients
were duped out of their money. Some
of th-- letters of disappointed wife-seekers
are ludicrous in the extreme. -

A Oeutleman From Chili Says the Eng
lish fix the Keports.
New York, May 14. The Herald says
that the railroad engineer and contractor
just arrived from Chili, says that nearly
all the cabled accounts of battles in Chili
between government forces and insur
gents are doctored by the English. The
insurgents have not gained a single
battle of any consequence, he said, since
the rebellion began. The only territory
controlled by the insurgents are Iqui
qui, Antefagasta, and two other places.
It is thought that the rebellion will not
last sixty days longer. The government
has 40,000 soldiers in tint field, well
equipped and with abundant supplies.
The insurgents have only about 8,000,
and those are not well drilled or organi
zed, but are poorly equipped and suffer
ing for lack of the necessaries of life.
Mexico May Capture the Itata.
San Francisco, May 12. The Call
has an interview with A. K. Coney,
Mexican consul-general at this port in
regard to the probable action of the
Mexican government if the Itata enters
the port of Acapulco. He says Acapulco
is a neutral port, and he is confident
the Charleston will not be permitted to
seize the Itata there, but if the Itata en
ters there with contraband goods on
board, it is probable the Mexican officers
will train the guns of the port on her
and seize her themselves. The fort is
not a very powerful one, but it is strong
enough to capture the Itata.
Female Fiends In Tennessee.
Chattanooga, Tenn., May 12. As a
result of the recent whitecap sensation
near Ucktown, Tenn.. the young bride
who was whipped by women whitecaps
has since died, after terril le tortures.'
The three men fired on will die of their
wounds. The women who did the white
capping are under arrest, but their
friends say they will never go to jail,
and a fight is eminent between the mob
and the officers.
Lee's Unconscious Bravery.
Here is a story illustrative of the con
sideration General Lee always showed for
others while remaining abosolutely in
different to what might befall himself.
It was in the Wilderness fight, and he
and General Wade Hampton were pass
ing over the field. They came to a nar
row pass between woods, and Lee noticed
that the passage was well-covered bv the
northern sharpshooters, who were doing
very effective -work. ' "Hampton," said
the commanding general, "I reckon you.
had better go 'round through the trees
and meet me on the other side, as the
fire of the sharpshooters is very danger
ous here." That is all there "is of the
story. Of course General Hampton said :
"General Lee, I truess if you can- walk
there lean follow you." But note the
unconsciousness of personal danger and
the unselfishness of Lee. These were in
cessant characteristics of his.

' In 1886 as many as 23,354 soldiers in
the British army "were fined for drunken

more than once. In addition, 1,419 men
were punished by court-martial for being
drunk on duty, and 1,772 for simple
drunkenness. .
