QUIET IN WORLEANO
The Scenes of Bloodshed and Riot Are
Now at an End.
SEVERAL WHITES ARRESTEE
L‘he Omaha Polish Church BOW—Morn
Italians Killed In Rouse, 0010., Though
the Excitement There Has Now
Almost Entirely Subsided.
NEW ORLEANS, March 14. —The foreign
consuls stationed in this city held a meet-
ing to arrange a statement of the condi.
tion of afl’airs, which they forwarded to the
representatives of their governments at
Washington. The British consul received
instructions from the British embassador
at Washington to collect evidence in the
shooting of the purser of the steamship
Engineer to be used in proceedings which
will be instituted against the city.
Eight arrests have been made, all white
screwmen, who were charged with incite
ing a riot.
The bureau of freight and transporta-
tion held a special meeting to discuss the
troubles and to take the necessary steps to
protect commerce and the lives and prop-
erty of the citizens. The response to the
call was unanimous. The debate was heat-
ed and at first resulted in the adoption of
a resolution appealing to federal authority
for protection and requesting the presi-
dent of the United States to intervene in
the interest of both law and order. Later
the decision to appeal to the president was
rescinded upon the receipt of a telegram
from Governor Foster stating that he
would be in the city at once. When Gov-
ernor Foster and Attorney General Cun-
ningham arrived, the session was resumed.
A Prearranged Affair.
Calmly reviewing the riots, everything
would seem to indicate the attack to be a
prearranged afi‘air. It is rumored, and
there is every reason to believe the rumor
to be correct. that a secret meeting was
held Monday night and the bloody affair
was carefully" mapped out. The details
seem to be that the crowd Of rioters who
were sent up town were residents of the
lower district, while those who were sent
down town were those who live up town.
The guns and rifles which were used by the
down town men who went up town seem
to have been deposited in the various sa-
loons along the levee. The men assembled
somewhere in the vicinity of Nun street,
and in the dense fog proceeded up the
levee. It seemed to be generally understood
that the guns tobe made use of by down
town conspirators were taken to some place
in the vicinity of the sugar refineries in a
wagon and then were placed away until
some such time as they were required.
It also seemed to be agreed that in
the preconcerted attack the shooting
should be done between 6 :45 and 7 :30
o’clock, at a time when the men would be
going to work. =1
There have been no disturbances here
today, although the state troops were held
in readiness to be moved at a moment’s
notice. Governor Foster considers that
the trouble is at an end.
Governor Altgeld's Sarcasm.
SPRINGFIELD, llls., March 14.—Govern-
or John P. Altgeld was asked his opinion
regarding Attorney General Olney’s neg-
ative reply to the request of the United
States district attorney at New Orleans
asking for federal troops to assist in quell-
ing the riots there. Governor Altgeld ex-
pressed some surprise that the national
government should change its policy abso-
lutely regarding the sending of troops into
states where trouble exists. He maintained
the position he took last September, when
federal troops Were sent into Illinois to
put down the strikes. He gave out the fol-
lowing for publication: .
“They are having trouble along the
decks of New Orleans, and several men
have been killed. The affair is so serious
that commerce is not only interfered with,
but in some cases stopped. It seems that

if you receive no benefit from Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. This
fair and business-like offer is held out
to all women who suffer from the
diseases and derangements peculiar
to their sex. To weakly woman-

nor the benefit more lasting, than
that to be derived from the purchase
of a. bottle of this famous “Prescrip-

functional derangements, painful dis-
orders, and chronic weaknesses of
women, warrants its makers in guar-
anteeing it. What this medicine
has done for thousands of delicate
women, it will do for you. At the
two critical periods in woman’s life,
the change from girlhood to woman-
hood, and, later, the “change of
life,” it’s an invaluable tonic and a
soothing nervine, which can produce
only good results. It cures nervous
prostration, insomnia, or inability to

Tuition for United States trhofis, and, ab-
cording to the dispatches, Attorney Gen-
eral Olney replied ‘that the state must
first exhaust its resources or deny protection
before United States troops can be used.’
In this matter the attorney general is
clearly right.- That has been the doctrine
of our government from its foundation
until it was trampled underfoot at Chi-
cago last summer. It embodies the very
essence of local self government, and free
institutiOns cannot exist without respect-
ing this principle. The moment it is
ignored everything is left to the discretion,
-—that is, the will—of one man, represent-
ing the central power. This man can then
send troops when and where he pleases
and keep them as long as he pleases. The
Emperor William does not claim more
poWer than this. The country is to be con—
gratuiated on the fact that the govern-
ment at Washington can have a lucid in-
terval. ”
The Polish Church Riot. _ ‘
OMAHA, March l4.-—-All night long a
battalion of police guarded St. Paul’s Ro-
man Catholic church to prevent another
battle between factions of the Polish con-
gregation. A report had been circulated,
that the Poles of South Omaha were going
to Sheely station to capture the church,and
that they would be assisted by some Poles
from Council Blufls‘ and the attacking
party of yesterday“ ,Excitement ran high,
and the followers of Priest Karminski
flocked to the church heavily armed with
revolvers and shotguns: Sentinels were
stationed at the rear of the church and on
the inside and swore to hold possession of
the building as long as they had life enough
in their bodies to make a resistance. But
the anticipated attack did not materialize.
The men stationed in the church, as the
hours rolled by and no sign of the attack-
ing party was seen, began feeling more
cheerful and secure, and frequent trips
were made to the neighboring saloons. As
the ._,,spirits Went, down, so rose the confi-
dence of the party 'in’possession that they
would be able to cope successfully with
any attacking party and would be able to
retain the advantage which they had been
successful in holding yesterday.
More Italians Killed.
ROUSE, 0010., March 14.—Of the nine
Italians arrested for the murder of A. J.
Hixson four were exonerated at the core-
ner’s inquest and discharged. Five were
held for trial and ordered committed to
jail. These have all been killed. John
Wellsby, driver of the wagon in which the
prisoners Were being taken to jail, was
also accidentally killed, making the total
number of fatalities six. The town of
Walsenburg is now quiet.
English Press Opinions.
LONDON, March 14.-—This afternoon’s
Westminster Gazette, referring to the com-
ments which The Daily News printed this
morning in regard to the rioting at New
Orleans, says: “The Daily News, in its
comments, ignores an important factor—
the interesting feature of the black man
as a ‘blacklcg.’ When the color question
is crossed by a labor war, it becomes com-
plicated. We do not excuse the action of
the whites, but we cannot class the affair
in the average run of lynching horrors.”
The Daily News, in its comment on the
troubles at New Orleans, said this morn-
ing: "Really, but for the look of the thing,
the American negroes might almost as
Well return to their ancestral seats. New
Orleans, of course, is a more respectable
address than Dahomey, but the customs
in the two places are much the same. ”
A ShIALL GOLD CRAZE.
A New Machine Makes Beach Mining Near
San Francisco Profitable.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.—Gold min-
ing is being carried on almost within the
corporate limits of San Francisco. On the
beach three miles south of the Cliff House
an old squatter has for years toiled with
shovel and pick, eking out a scanty living
by extracting gold from the deposits on
the shores by the currents and tides. Ex-
perienced miners have frequently asserted
that the entire coast from Alaska to Cape
Horn is full of free gold, but that its suc-
cessful amalgamation was the sole obsta-
cle to working it. Several weeks ago a
new amalgamator was employed by a com-
pany organized for the purpose, and as a
result of 15 days’ labor three chunks of
amalgam are now at the United States mint
from which a value of from $1,000 to $1,-
200 is expected to be developed. Four
men are required for each amalgamator.
A machine will run from 20 to 25 tons of
sand per day, the net profit being esti-
mated at $2. 50 per ton. The ocean shore
wherever the black sand exists is new con-.
sidered as good as any quartz mine, and
camps are being established along the
beach.
For a. Colony of Half Breeds.
MONTREAL, March 13.—Father Lacombe
is in Ottawa to get the government to con-
sent to a scheme for gathering the half
breeds into a large colony in some part of
the northwest, where they will not be so
exposed to contact with the whites, before
whosm'ldvancc they are rather retrograd—
ing than improving in civilization.
The Murderers of A. J. Nixon.
’ ROUSE, 0010., March 13.—-Nine Italians
have been arrested, accused of the murder
of A. J. Nixon, a saloon keeper, who was
beaten to death on the highway. They
were tracked bya bloodhound. Several
of the prisoners have made confessions
that Lorenzo Danaino. one of those arrest-
ed, struck the fatal blow.
Patrick Gleason Loses His Case.
ALBANY, March 13.-—Thc committee on
privileges and election has reported in fa-
vor of the sitting member in the contested
election case of Patrick Gleason against
John P. Madden in the First district of
Queens county. The report was adopted.
. Afflicted With Rheumatism.
Mr. Geo. A. Mills, of Lebanon, Conn,
says: “I was afilicted with rheumatism in
my back all last winter. It was so severe
at times that I could not stand up straight,
but was drawn over on one side. I tried
different remedies without receiving any
relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm. After using it for three days,
according to directions, my rheumatism was
gone and has not returned since. I have
since recommended it .to others and know
they have been benefited by its use. For

THAT SPANISH lNSULT
Opinions of Officers With Regard to
the AlliancaOutrage.
PROMPT ACTION TO BE TAKEN
[he Spaniards Seem to Think That Some
Development \Vill Prove That the
Conduct of Their Captain In
Firing Was J ustifiable.
NEW YORK, March 14.—At the oflieers’
mess tables in the Brooklyn navy yard to«
day the principal .topic of conversation was
the firing upon the American merchant
steamship Alliance. by a Spanish cruiser.
The naval ofileers were unanimously of
the opinion that the Spaniard had no right
to fire on the American, and they thought
that the state department would take im-
mediate action to force the Spanish gov-
ernment to apologize.
Commander Sicard was not at the navy
yard, but Captain of the Yard Rogers was
in his office, talking of wtv he termed
“that Spanish outrage. ”
“The Alliance, ” said the captain, ”was
going on about her business, flying both
the American ensign and the United
States mail flag. when she m ct the Spaniard,
and after she had saluted tho cruiser all of
the requirements of marine courtesy had
been fulfilled. If the statement made by
Captain Crossmau is correct, the Spaniard
was entirely at fault. Captain Crossman
seems to think that the Spaniard had a
right to inspect his papers if he was within
a. marine league of the coast, but in this
he is mistaken. The only time that a for-
eign man-of—war may inspect an American
.ship is when that ship is going to or com-
ing from a country where war is raging.
The Alliance. was passing between two
neutral ports, and even if she had been
running close to the Cuban coast the
Spaniard would not have had any right to
ovarhaul‘hcr papers.
Like to Bother Americans.
”I am very g1a( ,” continued Captain
Rogers, “that the American skipper re-
fused to allow that Spaniard to go through
his ship. Things like this are constantly
occurring, but we do not hear of them be-
cause thc captains generally submit to an
examination. Every powor on earth that
has a navy seems to delight in bothering
American ships, but it doesn’t go in these
days. When I am at sea and want to in-
spect the papers of a ship flying a foreign
flag, I send up a signal of the internation-
al code asking them to heave to, and that
his the proper course of procedure. In time
of peace, though, it is discretionary with
a merchant captain whether he shall heave
to or not.
“The state department will very proba-
bly investigate this matter at once, and the
Spaniards will probably be asked to apolo-
gizo. ” ,
"‘Is our navy sufficiently strong in the
neighborhood of Cuba to protect our mer-
chant marine if they need protection?”
was asked.
“Well, ” said the captain. “we’ve got
the biggest fleet of steel ships that ever
flew the American flag right in that vicin-
ity. Admiral Meade, with his squadron
of evolution. is now, or was at last ac-
counts. at Port of Spain, Trinidad, and
Trinidad is only about a two days’ run
from Havana.
hIeade’s Fine Squadron.
“This squadron is composed of the best
ships now in the American navy. Among
them are the New York, Columbia, Atlan-
ta, Cincinnati, Raleigh and several other
big ones. If it becomes absolutely neces-
sary, We can get enough ships there to
pick up the island of Cuba and place it
outside of Sandy Hook whilc,we,investi-
gate the matter.”
Captain Rogers’ opinion seems to be
that of nearly every officer in the yard.
Some hold that the Spaniard had a right
to stop the ship if she was within a marine
league of the land, on account of the fact
that many ship's flying the American flag
have carried arms and ammunition to the
Cuban revolutionists.
All of the officers are satisfied that, if
the Spaniards continue this sort of busi--
ness. Admiral Meade, who has a roving
commission, will take his fleet to Cuba
and take a hand in the game of holding
up ships.
Captain C'rossman’s story of the meeting
with the Spaniard is the only account that
naval officers have heard of the trouble,
but they are inclined to think that his ver-
sion is correct.
The Spanish Side of It.
At the Spanish consulate in Stone street
the second secretary said that it would be
impossible to state what vessels answering
Captain Crossman’s description of a brig-
antine cruiser were on the Cuban station.
“The vessels there lately have been chang-
ed,” he said. “It is impossible for any
Spanish naval captain to so exceed his au- .
thority as to forget he could not fire on a
vessel outside of the three milc limit pre-
scribed by international law.”
A Spanish-American who stands as close
to his home government as any one in this
city stated today:
“I don’t believe Captain Crossman was
right in his estimate of the distance from
shore. Our captain probably had informa-
tion leading him to expect the landing
either of supplies or of suspects friendly to
the belligerents. ” '
“If Spain recognizes the Cuban insur-
gents as belligerents, had your captain a
right to fire, overhaul and examine?” was
asked. . _
“No. They are banditti, not belliger-
ents, ” he replied. “None of the reputa-
ble Cubans is in the movement. But the
fact remains these banditti are constant-
ly having outside aid enough to make
their movements formidable. There have
been many cases when vessels in the guise
of friendly merchantmen have been.
us
proved fili ters. Captain Crossman,
however, whatever his distance out, should
have permitted the Alliance. being ques-
tioned. But I am certain our captain was
within the marine league international
limit. I notice the vessel is described as
being painted black, which would mean
she was new on the Cuban station. I have
known the case of Spanish captains being
overzealous. ' We are, you know, an cxcit
able people. "
