GOVERNMENT BLUE BOOK.
Reasons For Its. Specific Details as to
Residenceof Government Employees.
WASHINGTON, May 19,—The new gen-
eral. blue book contains what, at a
first glance. appears to be a concession to
the old spoils system. This register of all
government employees is printed on a
wider page than previous editions in order
to accommodate some additional material
prescribed by the printing law of 1895.
Formerly all the particulars recorded in
the blue book concerning a government
employee were his name, his office, his
birthplace, the state of his residence. his
present place of employment and his com-
pensation. To this list the printing law
has added the county from which he was
appointed and the congressional district.
These added facts facilitate reference
by members of congress and other distrib-
utors of patronage to the place which each
appointee holds in the geographical ap-
portionment. So far from being a device
of the enemy, these additions were wel-
comed by the civil service commission and
the friends of the merit system, for the
new data will aid materially in the dis-
covery and hence in the prevention of
frauds practiced occasionally by applicants
for office. The regulations governing ad-
missions to the classified service require
that each applicant for examination shall
specify his place of residence and present
satisfactory certificates of the fact that he
is a bona fide resident of that place. From
time to time the discovery is made that
some applicant, fearing that the quota
from his own state is already full, has
made false declarations of residence, and
either by forgery or collusion has procurdd
false certificates to support his statement,
taking the chances of detection, which
were rather small so long as it would put
any one to considerable trouble to get hold
(if his papers and definitely locate his pre-
tended hcmo. It has been found very
difficult to punish offenders of this kind,
and the surest way of weeding them out
is to make public as many facts as possi.
ble about an applicant as soon as he is ap-‘
pointed. it would not then take long, in
case any one felt aggrieved by an appoint-
ment, to hunt down the exact facts. In-
stead cf seachlng at great pains the rec-
ords of the civil service commission, the
prime. facie case can be made up on the
statements of the blue book and verified
afterward if necessary from the original
records.
VENEZUELA WILL PAY.
Agrees to England’s Demand For £1,600
For the Uruan Incident.
Cannons, Venezuela, May 19,—The
Venezuelan government has agreed to pay
the £1,600 demanded by Great Britain for
the Uruan incident (them-rest and impris-
onment of a British police officer), on con-
dition that it is considered simply as in-
demnity for personal damages and not as
afiecting the boundary dispute.
The Venezuelan government, however,
has not consented to make a public apol-
ogy to Great Britain as a prerequisite to
the resumption of diplomatic relations, al-
though it is understood that the United
States, in carrying out its friendly purpose
as an adviser of Venezuela, counseled
that this condition should be complied
with in accordance with the terms of the
British demand.
Five Persons Drowned.
CHICAGO, May 19.—The schooner Mary

man; Tom Jones, seamen; ———- Fitz, the
cock. All were from Chicago.
F. L. Gray Buried at Pretoria.
JOHANNESBURG, May 19.—The funeral

largely attended. 3,000 persons being pres-
ent at the grave side. Barney Barnato, the
Kaflfir king, occupied the first carriage in
the procession to the cemetery.

'ONTHEBnNioinR
How We Narrowly Escaped an Open
Rupture ‘ With the Spanish.
WILLIAMS’ BOLD DEFIANGB.
Weyler Had Planned to Railroad the Com-
petitor Men to Death, but the Con-
Iul General’s Plain Worlds
Compelled a Quick Halt.
.,.
NEW YORK, May 19.—-The Herald has
the following (necessarily sent by mail)
from its Havana correspondent, which
shows that the unseemly haste of the
bloodthirsty Weyler to execute the Com-'
petitor crew came within an ace of cans-
ing an open ruptm-e between the United
States and Spain and would certainly have
brought on immediate war had Weyler
been allowed to carry out his barbarous
plan. This is what the correspondents
writes:
I wish to put on record the action of
Consul General Williams, his protest
while the trial was in progress and his"
statements to the Spanish authorities aft-
er the verdict was rendered announcing
death as the penalty for the men captured
on board the Competitor. .
Before the court martial closed at the
hour of noon Consul General Williams’
» letter of protest was read. The representa-
tive of the United States quoted the trea-
ties existing between the United States
and Spain and denied the right of the lat-
ter in try American citizens and others
sailing under the American flag by other
than civil courts, unless seized “with arms
in their hands,” adding that even in the
latter case they must be judged by ordio
nary and not by drumhead military and
naval courts and be permitted to employ
legal counsel and present witnesses in evi-
deuce.
A note by the judge advocate general.
which had also been indorsed by Admiral
Navarro. the highest naval officer of Spain
in Cuba, ruling Consul General Williams’
protest as without good ground and out of
order, was also read and noted.
In a Hurrdeor Blood.
Within three hours after the court mar-
tial closed its session, at a special meeting
in the afternoon, its members sent to Ad‘
miral Navarro a sealed verdict, which was
immediately opened and approved by the
naval chief. Although the fact was not
generally known here until Tuesday the
sentences of all five prisoners to death. 'in
accordance with the verdict, were signed
Friday afternoon and preparations Were
made to have the men shot at sunrise on
Saturday morning.
Receiving no satisfactory response from
the admiral, nor even an invitation to at-
tend the proceedings. neither Consul Gen-
eral Williams nor any attache of his office
was present at the court martial, nor was
he allowed to see the prisoners until after
the trial had closed.
Naturally he laid the whole case before
the state department at Washington by
wire early in the day and received instruc-
tions as prompt as energetic. When these
arrived, he went directly to the palace,
where a stormy interview with Captain
General li‘eyler occurred.
The captain general told Consul Gen-
eral Williams that if the men had been
convicted. as the latter supposed, they
would most certainly be shot the follow-
ing morning, despite any protest the Unit-
ed States might make.
“If you shoot them,” said Mr. Wil-
liams, “my government instructs me to
close its consulate here and demand my
passports, as we shall most certainly hold
you and your government responsible
should these prisoners be executed before
our protest be given due consideration. ”
Weyler’s Contemptible Threat.
When Consul General Williams bowed
himself out of the captain general’s pres-
ence and drove back to his office, the ex-
citement that followed 'at the palace be-
came almost indescribable. The president
and judges of the supreme civil tribunal
of the island, the chairman of the leading
conservative parties and the managing
director of the Spanish bank were called
into consultation. by Captain General
The ma-
jority of these personages advised the au-
thorities to suspend the executing pending
higher instructions from Madrid.
General Welyer said, “No;” that if the
men were not executed he would resign,
and I understand he so telegraphed the
Spanish ministry. In the meantime, it ap-
pears, the United States was, through
Minister Taylor, bringing pressure to
bear also at Madrid.~ Orders came from
Spain to suspend all proceedings, and di-
recting the captain general and admiral to
transmit all documents in the case to Mad-
rid for consideration there by the su-
preme military and naval council and
cabinet. General Weyler, it is said, also-
received a- message, telling him to await a
more opportune moment to give up his
command, as for diplomatic reasons the
government could not afford at this crisis
to have him suddenly resign.
Consul General Williams had won. The
transfer of the case to Madrid will give
the prisoners at least a mouth or six weeks
respite. .
Consul General Williams and Vice Con-
sul General Springer have been warmly
congratulated by resident Americans1 and
foreigners generally upon their diplomatic
triumph. Indeed even the Marquis de Pal-
merola, secretary general of the Spanish
government of Cuba, in conversation yes-
terday, gave Mr. Williams credit for hav-
ing displayed great energy in behalf of the
Americans connected with the Competitor
case.
Spain May Be Undecoived.
WASHINGTON, May 18.—The attention
of the state department has not been
officially directed to the publications ap-
pearing in certain Spanish newspapers
over the signature of Lieutenant So«
bral, the naval attache of the Spanish le-
gation in this city, setting out the de-
fenseless condition of the seacoast of the
United States. Ordinarily, if the subject
were deemed Worthy of complaint, the
initiativewould be in the shape of repre
sentationsfrom United States Minister
.Taylor at Madrid to the state department
stating the fact of, these publications, but
so for nothing has been said of the matter
beyond some gossip in the diplomatic cir-
cles in Washington.
Weyler’s Tobacco Order.
HAVANA, May 19.—Some of the foreign
commercial houses have complained to the
consuls of their respective countries of the
injury which they will suffer through the
prohibition of the export of tobacco leaf.

Struck Blind in the Street.
Frederick Wheeler, thirteen years
' old, son of E. Wheeler,_of Donbury,
was struck blind Friday night, and phy-
sicians say that there is little hope that
he will ever regain his sight. He was
walking on the street pwith his mother
and sister, when he suddenly exclaimed
that something had come over his eyes
and he could see nothing. The fright-
ened mother hurried him to the office
of a doctor, who said that the blindness
was caused by paralysis of the brain
and the rupture of a blood vessel just
above the eyes. The lids of the eyes
are slightly closed and cannot be opened
except by artificial means. A covering
of blood or extranous matter has
formed over the eyeballs. The blind-
ness is total. .
