The Report Regarding Minister. Por-
ter Not Believed.
SECRETARY BLAINE sILENT.
Secretary Noble Endeavor-ing to Have
Lands Beconveyed to the United '
States by the Dnbnque and Pa- V
cific Railroad Company.
, WASHINGTON, April 13.—The dispatch
from Home Saturday stating that in the
event of the Italian government not re-
ceiving a reply to its last communication
to the American state department With re-
gard to the New Orleans massacre by
April 14 the minister of the United States
to Italy, Mr. A. G. Porter, will be request-
ed to withdraw from the country was
shown to the president. He declined to
discuss the matter, remarking that any-
thing on this subject must come from Sec-
retary Blaine. Subsequently the presi-
dent walked over to Secretary Blaine’s
house and remained some time with him.
Mr. Blaine is unwell and could not be seen.
The Report Not Credited.
The impression in diplomatic circles is
that the dispatch is not correct in assign-
ing a date for Unit-ed States Minister Por-
ter’s departure. A dispatch from Rome
gave Mr. Porter only twenty-four hours to
remain unless the United States govern-
ment responded to Italy’s last note. Min-
ister Porter is kept fully advised of the '
progress being made by the United States
in its investigation of the New Orleans af-
fair. So far no report has been received
by the department of justice from the
United States district attorney at New
Orleans of the result of his investigation,
but the attorney general is kept advised as
to what progress he is making. Until the
matter is fully sifted it is not thought that
any threats from Rome will cause this gov-
ernment to act in any other than a can-
tions and dignified manner. Mr. Blaine
was seen in regard to the Rome dispatch,
but said he had nothing to say in regard
to it. .______
The Falling Off in Revenue.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-—The large fall-
ing OR in customs receipts is attracting
attention among the treasury department
officials who keep a close watch over gov-
ernment finances. The falling in custom
revenues since the beginning of April has
been nearly 50 per cent., and if this ratio
continues it may cause serious complica-
tions. The decline in this class of receipts
is attributable in a large degree to the re
moval of duty on sugar, which is now ad-
After July 1 the bounty on
drain on the revenue to which it has not
heretofore been subject. A slight increase
in the internal receipts .is noted, but so
slight as not to make an appreciable off-
set to the heavy decline in customs rev-
enues.
To Recourer‘ Public Lands.
WASHINGTON, April 13.—Secretary Noble
has instructed the commissioner of the
general land ofiice to-make a demand on
the 'Dubuque and Pacific Railroad com-
pany for the reconveyance to the United
States of all lands held 'to have been ex-
cepted from its grant'of May 15, 1856. The
lands in question lie within the state 015
Iowa and long the line of the road between
Dubuque andSioux 'City. They are de-
dated to have been exempted from the
grant by reason of existing pre-emption
filings and at the datev‘of the definite loca-
tion of the road. This'action is taken pre-
paratory to bringing suit to recover in case
the company refuses to reconvey. There
are seventy-five tracts involved in this de-
Generals Spinola and Rosecrans.
WASHINGTON, April 13.—Congressman
Spinola was reported as resting-I easier.
His condition at'midnight showed marked
improvement. General Rosecrans is con-
sidered out of danger. He is reported as
much stronger and expects to leave his
room next week.

Waggoner, of Missouri, convicted of pre-
venting the exercise of civil rights by a
citizen. Waggoner was one of the “Bald

NEW YORK, April 13.—Redfield Proctor,
secretary of war, arrived here Saturday

formed a United Press reporter that he

ence with President Harrison before the
latter left on his trip to the Pacific coast.
He refused talk about the Italian trouble
or the Vermont senatorship.
Mr. Harrington » Satisfied.,
. LONDON, April 13.—-In an interview Mr.
Timothy Harrington, M. P., said he was
satisfied with the resolutions. ”adopted by
the Irish league meeting in Cincinnati.

' may Be His 'Fate. ' 1 ..
7 ROCHESTER, N.Y., April 13.—.-J. Prentice,
sixteen. . .years ‘Old,-is. in :the handset-the
authorities on a very serious charge. ,At
11:30 Saturday, when the Central limited
train was a short distance east of ..Baosria
and running at a rapid rate of speed,,the
engineer discovered a red light ahead on
the track and brought his train to a‘Stand-
still. When 'he left his train ‘to investi-
gate a boy' stepped up and said he had dis-
covered three tramps in the actof ..placing
ties on the track with the intention of
wrecking. the train which-wins nearly due.
He accordingly took a lantern from his
brother’s barn, wrapped a red cloth around
it and thus prevented a blood cu'rdlin’g dis-
aster. Just before the arrival of the train,
the boy said, the three:nlon~di_scovered his
intention to frustrate their. efforts and at-
tacked him, throwing him dOwn in the
mud and tearing his clothes. Investiga-
tion showed that the boy’s clothing was
badly torn and distangled and that he was
bespattered with mud; There weresome
suspicious-circumstances abOut the affair,
however, and Young Prentice was placed
under arrest and brought to this city.
«After a long interview, he admitted hav-
ing placed the ties on the track, and told
the following story: “My brother has been
in the west for. several days and in his ab-
sence I have taken care of the horses. For
two nights past a tramp has slept {in the
barn, which is nearthe tracks. The tramp,
whose name I do not know, suggested that
I could make $500 or $600 by placing some
obstruction on the track and then flagging
a train just in time to avoid a collision.
He said it would not do for him to attempt
the job, as it would attract suspicion. I
selected last night, because it was dark
and stormy and the tramp had/told me
that it was just the kind of a night for
the work. I accordingly placed the'ties
on the rail where they Were found and
wound a red cloth around the lantern a
a. short time before-train time. I tore my
clothes and threw myself in the mud in
order to Corroberate my story.” The police
are of the opinion that the tramp stery is
an invention and that the whole plot was
ginstead of
’ planned and carried out by the boy alone.
The penalty for the act is imprisonment
in state prison.
