.The Lynching Forgot... ‘in Face of
Approaching War."
AMERICANS ENTIBELY SAFE
Two -Explanations of the Stoning of Dir.
Jacques —Colonel Prager May Have
Beendiilled by a Frenchman.
' General Foreign News. ‘
LONDON, May 9.—A Rome dispatch says
that while the Italian press protests against
the failure to prosecute the New Orleans
lynchers, the affair has ceased to . excite
serious public interest in view of the grav-
ity of the situation in Italy. The stoning
of Mr. Jacques, the American, at FlOrence, .
. was, it appears, the act of some of the
worst class, and is said to have been in-
cited in the first place by a beggar, tc
whose appeal for alms Mr. Jacques neg
lected to listen. ' .
It is claimed that the incident had no
motive relating to the massacre at New
Orleans, and it is’ deeply regretted by the
Florence authorities, whose city depends
upon American patronage to a great ex.
tent for income. In Rome Americans gc
about entirely unmolested, and it is be.
lieved that they are safe in any part 01
Italy where other people are safe.
The Prager Assassination.
LONDON, May 9.—The German war office
has instituted an energetic inquiry on its
own account regarding the death of Col-
onel Prager. It is said that the higher
military authorities, including the kaiser,
are not yet satisfied that the motive was
robbery, and there are circumstances con-
nected with the colonel’s history that sug.
gest a different motive.
The colonel has of late been extremely
severe in enforcing the military regula-
tions against spies, and hardly a day has
passed without the arrest of some French-
man for loitering around the fortifications
or attempting to take photograhs of the
defenses. - It is thought that he may have
fallen .a victim to, a Frenchman angered
by having been thrown into durance by a
German officer in what was once a French
city.
The Rothschilds' Withdrawal.
LONDON, May 9.‘—A St. Petersburg dis-
patch says that the minister of finance
views with great anxiety the impending
withdrawal of the Rothschild syndicate
from the new loan, which withdrawal
would seriously interfere with Russia’s
plans, not only financially, but also stra‘
tegic and economic. The countryis not
pressed for funds for current expenses, the
treasury being in an unusually healthy
condition, but the Siberian railway and
several fortifications on a. gigantic scale
near the German frontier may be delayed
by thewant of extra funds to carry them
on. The Russian loans of 1850 and 186i
cannot be redeemed at par, as the inten-
tion was, until the new loan is forthcom-
ing. 2
What Bismarck Really Said.
BERLIN, May 9.—Prince Bismarck today
declared that'in his recent Geestemunde
speech he had been imperfectly reported
What he said was: “A pang goes through
my heart when parties resort to venomous
invective, and I should like to interfere in
my parliamentary action in that direction
Whatever aims I may have than to serve
my country are not ambitious ones. That
would be foolish, for my progress has
reached its highest point.” _

out of sight. Her ostensible purpose in
coming down is to go outside and try her
guns. The? officers and men have been or-
dered to belon board at 8 o’clock this
morning. '
Marshal Gard’s chief deputy, it is
learned, has been Detective Harry N.
Morse, of San Francisco, who has been
working on the case since the ‘Start under
ana’déumed‘name. ' , ‘ ' " .
A dispatch to the Mer‘chants’ exchange
from San Diego says the United States
man-of-war Omaha arrived there last
evening from the Asiatic station. '
g The Marshal’s Story. . '
SAN DIEGO, May 9.—When the Chilian
transport Itata weighed her anchor and
commenced to steam rapidly down the
channel; it was supposed that the deputy
United States marshal who had been put
aboard to- hold her would either be com-
pelled to go with her to her destination.
swim ashore or be cast adrift upon the
desert Coronado islands, several miles ed
the 'coast. He arrived in the city yester.
day. The Chilian captain put him ashore
at Ballast point, and he made his way
home as best he might. His statement
makes sensational reading, and from all
circumstances surrounding the case the
Itata is nothing more nor less than a ,
privateer in the Service ofjthe Chilian reb=.
els. , -
Deputy Marshal Spaulding’s story of the
escape is as follows: “After I was left on
board in charge of the steamship I made
a hurried inspection of the ship and found
nothing, to be suspicious of. ,. She continr
nod to receive coal until 12:20 a. "inf,- at
which time I retired. During Wednesday
nothing unusual occurred until 5 p. m.,
when a boat containing First Mate Nelson'.
the surgeon and two passengers came to us.
Meant Life. or Death.
:“Five minutes later I found, to my sur-
prise, the steamship was under full head
of steam and making for the ocean. The
captain came in a minute later and invited
me to his cabin; He exhibited a revolver
and said, ‘I have contraband goods on
board, and this is life or deathwith me.
Then, pointing his finger to his throat, he
said, ‘See, this is what it'means.’
"I was so dumfounded that I could not
guswer, He then called two of the Chilian
crew and they stood guard near'the door,
9.8011 aimed with a_ revolver and rifle. He
then told me not to be alarmed, but that
if I went..out of the cabin during his ab
sence he would not be responsible for what
would happen, telling me also that if I at.
tempted to give a sign or jump overboard
he would not be responsible for the result.
About this time I noticed them lifting out
of the hold four steel cannon, which they
immediately placed in position on the up-
per deck, after which they were loaded in
my presence.
Changed Into a Man-of-lvar.
“Returning a, few minutes later the
captain led me out of the cabin, followed
by his companions, each taking his re-
volver. On reaching the bridge I found
on the deck below 100 Chilians, all armed
to the teeth, each having a. repeating rifle,
and most of them dressed in uniform con-
sisting of red caps and jackets. The cap-
tain gave a saucy laugh and said, ‘See, we
have changed into a man-oflwar.’
“I looked at the pilot and said, ‘Are yOu
going'to guide the ship out?’ The captain
spoke up and said, ‘No,’ exhibiting a re-
volver, ‘this is going to guide it.’ The
pilot turned pale and said, ‘I guess I am
in for it.’ By this time we were nearing
the entrance to the harbor, and the cap-
tain gave orders to the crew to put over a
ladder, also to the pilot to slow down.
Escorting me to the ladder he said, ‘YOu
must excuse me for putting you to this an-
noyance.’ After I was lowered over to a
waiting boat the Itata passed out of the
bay, heading north.
lie Protested Vigorously.
“Making inquiries from the boatman,
I found that I was to be landed eight miles -
from San Diego. I protested very vigor
ously to being made a prisoner during the
passage of the vessel out of the harbor, alsc
to leaving the ship while in possession of
the government, but they paid no atten-
tion to my protest and kept me a prisoner
until they Oarrived at a point where they
intended to put me off. They were very
careful to say nothing in my hearing that
would reveal any future actions, except
that the captain gave me his name and
address. ‘I will go directly to Valparaiso,
and would like to have you write me there
if you feel so disposed.’ ” 3'
Two deserters from the Etata were seen
this morning and stated that being tired
of staying aboard they got away, intend-
ing to try their luck on the North Ameri.
can continent. . They state positively that
the big warship Esmeralda accompanied
the Etata as far north as Cape St. Lucas,
and is awaiting the return of that vessel
between here and that point in order to
get provisions and coal.
The Real Commander Is a Chilian.
It was learned‘further that Captain Mau-
zeum is only employed to- navigate the
ship, and the real commander is a native
Chilian, and it is he who gifies allcorders. .

The Seizure Bother-s the Britishers.
LONDON, May 9.—_It has leaked out that
considerable perturbation , exists in the
foreign office over the action of the United
States in seizing a vessel of the Chilian in-
surgents. The insurrection from the first
has been favored by Great Britain, and
the British legation at Santiago has more
than once extended a valuable helping
hand to the rebels through the agency of
the British fleet. .
Under a thin pretext of surrender to
superior force English merchant vessels
have kept insurgents in supplies in return
for ample compensation, and' the British
government has presented no protest
against such pretended and profitable
seizures, Lord Salisbury even going so far
as to advise the payment of duties to the
insurgents at the ports held by them, it
being on these duties that the insurrection
depends for sustenance. .
France Favors the Congress Party.
The action of the United States to pre
vent the revolutionists from using Ameri-
can ports, caused almost consternation
among the various British interests that
have been supporting the rebellion. It is
said that representatives of the congress
party have gained powerful influences in
their behalf in France by making promises
to entertain the Dreyfus claim, which Bal-
. maccda sternly rejected when presented
with the indorsement of the French gov-
ernment. '
BRIEF MENTION.
Two passenger trains on the Panhandle
road collided at Tuscarawas Thursday
night, killing Daniel Longnecker, of Co-
lumbus. 0., and injuring C. D. Rogers and
Otto Miller, postal clerks, of Indianapolis,
and G. F. Marvin, an expressmos’senger.
Dr. Samuel Robinson, the well known
Staten Island physician, has appeared at
Franklin, Pa, to deny “in the face of the
persons who have dared to accuse him”
that he was in any way connected with
the death of Mary Tobin on Staten Island
two years ago, or of her father in Frank-
lin March 22. ’
Four miners were killed and several
others injured by an explosion in Ocean
mine, near Clarksburg, W. Va.
Signor Pasquale Corte, the Italian con-
sul at New Orleans, has sent aletter to the
grand jury saying that that body garbled
his words in its report, and asserting that
nine of the Italians killed by the mob were
citizens of Italy. Detective O’Malley, in a
statement sent to the press, says that Hen-
nes‘sy was not killed by the Mafia, but in-
timates that the assassination was the re-
sult of a political plot.
At the meeting of the advisory board of
the Western Traffic association Traffic
Manager Leeds, of the Missouri Pacific
was discharged for rate cutting.
