II States That a Shell from the Charles- ton Exploded in Her Powder llIagazine and Blew Her to Pieces-Another Report Says She Was Sunk. CITY OF MEXICO, May 15 (Special).—-Th€ city is full of rumors of an encounter be tween the United States cruiser Charles- ton and the Chilian insurgent vessel Itata, in which the latter was destroyed. All efforts to verify these rumors or to run them down have failed. The first story that got abroad merely announced the sinking of the Itata, but now various de- tails of the alleged battle are added. Blown into Fragments. One account has it that the Charleston fired on the Itata because the latter re fused to heave to when ordered and the Chilian responded from the small guns mounted on her decks. Only a. few shots had been fired when a shell from one of the Charleston’s 8-inch guns burst in the Itata’s hold and ex- ploded the cargo Of powder stored there, blowing the ship into fragments. This Says She Was Sunk. - Another story says the Itata, on being overhauled by the Charleston, used every effort to escape, and only fired on the cruiser from her stern guns. A running fight was kept up for several miles, and a number of shot had struck the fleeing ves- sel and sunk her. Nothing is said about her crew by those who retail this account, and it is presumed that they were rescued. Information at. a Premium. All the port authorities on the west coast Of Mexico have been ordered to re- port immediately any news Of the Itata 01 Charleston, but notwithstanding the ru- mors and the plain inference that they come from some Of these points and over the government wires, the authorities here deny that they have any information. The lIIohican Ordered to Sea. SAN FRANCISCO, May 15.—It is reported here that orders have been received at Mare Island to have the modern steam cruiser Mohican get ready for sea as fast as possible. Her officers make no secret Of the fact that she is under orders to pro- ceed to southern waters as fast as steam and sail can carry her. The Mohican is said to be going to Gen- tral America to relieve the Ranger. Still no one on board of her believes this to be the case, as orders have been issued for supplies of provisions far in excess of her real needs, and every pound of coal that can be taken on board of her will be stowed away in her bunkers. To Chilian \Vaters. It is generally believed at Mare Island that the United States government has de cided to concentrate as large a. fleet as pos- sible in Chilian waters, where it will re- main until the war is over. This belief is strengthened by the fact that the Mohican will carry a. large quantity of shells which can only be used by the Charleston or the San Francisco. It will take the Mohican at least fifty days to reach Callao. Not Believed in Washington. WASHINGTON, May 15,—Inquii-ies at the navy department for information concern- ing the Charleston and Itata are met with negative replies. “The department has received no information.” Navy depart— ment Officials, however, place no reliance iii the report received in press dispatches to the effect that the Charleston has sunk the Itata. The Itata, they say, would not be likely to resist the Charleston should she over- take her, and in case she did, they think that the Charleston would simply disable her and then take her into custody. The Charleston's Speed Questioned. Grave doubts are also expressed as to the Charleston’s overtaking the Itata. These expressions are based on the reports that the Charleston has often altered her course to overhaul vessels she has sighted, to make sure they are not the insurgent ship she is pursuing. All this takes time, and in the meantime the Itata is steaming steadily on her course and daily nearing her destination. Opin- ions are also expressed that the relative speed of the two vessels has not been cor- rectly estimated. The Itata’s speed, it is thought, has been underestimated, while that of the Charleston has been overesti- mated. One in Favor of Maxwell. SAN FRANCISCO, May 15.—It has been de cided by the World’s fair commission of this state to meet at the Auditoriumin Chicago June 9. Resolutions have been adopted by the commission as follows: Whereas, the director general of the World’s fair Columbian exposition has ap- pointed Walter S. Maxwell as the head 01 the department of horticulture, and his nomination has been approved by the board of control and is now before the local directory for approval, msolved, therefore, That this commie sion express its appreciation for the com- pliment paid to the state of California. by the appointment of Mr. Maxwell, whose name has had prior indorsement of this commission, and it respectfully petitions for his confirmation. Legislative Bribery Charged. LANSING, Mich., May 15.—Bribery talk was revived here by a statement made by a member of the legislature to the effect that one of the officers of the Bell Tele phone company had admitted to him that he had presented shares of the company’s stock to members of the senate to assure the defeat of bills reducing telephone rentals. The official further said that the company had pursued the same practice ever since the session of 1885. It is likely "an official investigation will be ordered. 'The Hearst Racers Sold.

AND NEW MEN PUT TO WORK The Switchmen Tied Up the Road St! Weeks Ago, and Forced a Yardmaster’s Discharge Before They Would Be- turn to Work—Hence This Surprise. CHICAGO, May 15.—At precisely 7 o’clock Thursday morning every switchman in the employ of the Chicago and Northwest- ern Railway company—200 in this city and 300 employed at points along the line—was discharged and paid off. The company chose this hour as the most convenient to notify both the day and night men that their services would no longer be required. General Manager Whitman, of the road, reports that so far there has been no trouble or disturbance occasioned by the lock out. The road has been preparing for and for every man discharged there was another ready to take his place. The Yardmaster Reinstated. Yardmaster Frank McInerney, whose discharge the switchmen demanded and ager Whitman’s illness six weeks logo, was reinstated at once and took charge of the new men. The company say that Mc- Inerney was never really discharged. His name has never been taken off the pay rolls of the company, but his position has remained vacant, as he has remained away from his work pending the trouble started on his account. General Manager Whitman said that on account of the men being always ready to strike on the slightest provocation the train service has been unsatisfactory to the public and to the company itself, and now he proposes to put a stop to it. A few weeks ago, after the trouble caused by Yardmasfler McInerney, a canvass was made of the 1,071 locomotive engineers in the employ of the Northwestern by repre- sentatives of the company. Every man promised to stand by the company in case a strike or lockout should be inaugurated. They sympathized with McInerney. The officials of the company say this is not a fight against the Switchmen’s union. Their men, as in - many other yards, have frequently quit work without a. moment’s warning and without the sanction, of the union. The company will probably hire men without discrimination, but Will not be dictated to any longer. The Cause of the Trouble. The cause of the present trouble between the switch’m en and the Northwestern com- pany dates back some six weeks ago, when a strike lasting two hours was inaugurat ed because the company refused to dis- charge Yardmaster Frank McInerney, for whom they had conceived a dislike be- cause he had dismissed a certain switch- man. At that time General Manager Whitman was sick and traveling in the south, and rather than put the traveling public to great inconvenience, the com- pany in a measure conceded to the de- mands of the men. “Since my return,” said Mr. Whitman, “we decided that the switchmen had tc go. The Northwestern company has made up its mind that it will hereafter try to manage its business without interference from the switchmen or the Switchmen’s’ association. “’6 have had a great deal 01 trouble all over our system with these men du ring the last three years. We discharge them now for the reason that the publit and the management have put up with conduct until forbearance has ceasedto be a virtue.” lieltcliefi’s Assassins Caught. " SOFIA, May 15.——A report that Rizofi and Nazarofi, the alleged murderers of M. Beltchef‘r‘, the late minister of finance, had been captured at Krajova, Roumania, has been confirmed. It is also announced that the Roumanian authorities will deliver up the prisoners to the Bulgarian govern- ment. Canada Wants All Canadians. BOSTON, May 15.—A special from Ottawa says that the Dominion government is de termined, if possible, to induce the Cana- dians now residing in the United States tr: return. A substantial appropriation will be asked for at this session of parliament, to be used in aiding Canadians to return. Colonel Cockerill Leaves The World. NEW YORK, May 15.—Colonel John A.
