A E 21110170401130 A CRUISER LOST. The Mexican Warship “La. Libertad Be- lieved to Have Founder-ed. NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 8. —The Mexican consul, Senor Manquel Zamora, has re- ceived a dispatch from the marine depart- ment of the Mexican government stating that the Mexican man-Of—war La’Libertad sailed from Vera. Cruz Feb. 9 for New Orleans, where she was to be docked. re- paired and painted. She is now more than ten days overdue, and there is but little room to doubt that the stmmcr foundered in the gulf during the heavy norther which prevailed in the gulf of Mexico from the 10th to the 16th. In shipping circles the reported loss of La Libertad is generally accepted as a foregone conclu- sion, and Senor Zamora reluctantly takes this view of the matter. Her crew, con- sisting of 50 ofiicers and men, it is feared, have all been lost. The vessel was under the command of Senor P. H. Salva, and the officers were as follows: First engineer. Jose Benedos; second engineer, Theofilo Remessi; paymastcr, Pedro Rendero; first ofi‘icer, Enrique Bettiam; second Officer, Pedro R. Fuentea. La Libertad was built in 1875 or 1876 in a yard near Liverpool and went into com- mission immediately afterward. She was equipped with two masts, square rigged, and relied to a large extent upon her sails in ordinary voyaging. She had also been fitted with fine modern engines and could develop a speed Of about 15 knots an hour. La Libertad’s armament consisted of seven guns, two of. them heavy rifles, two rapid firing guns and the remainder of small caliber. La Libertad has been fre- quently seen-in New Orleans, and her officers were'well known here. Her last visitwas paid during the second year of the cotton centennial in 1836, when she remained some time. Her last trip was undertaken primarily for the purposes in- dicated above, but also to participate in the carnival festivities. Concerning the severe weather which prevailed on the gulf for a week after La Libertad sailed from Vera Cruz, Captain J. W. Pickthall of the steamship Nicara- guan, from Liverpool via Mexican ports, Which arrived yesterday, reports that he was detained two days at Tampico by a heavy norther, which washed away 1,000 feet of the north jetty; arrived at Vera Cruz on Feb. 10, and from the 11th until the 1-6th heavy northers prevailed there, during which three lighters were sunk and two driven ashore, but no lives lost; thence had bad weather to this port. Later.—It is reported that the Mex- ican man-of—war La Libertad, which was believed to have been lost during the recent northers on the gulf, has just anchored in the jetty channel, out Of coal and with her sails split. THE PHILADELPHIA LEXOWIZING. Proposed Investigation Postponed—Atti- tude of Senator Quay’s Friends. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 28.—-A Harrisburg special says: The proposed investigation of Philadelphia affairs by a senate committee has been abandoned for the present, with the probability that it will not be under- taken at all. Those back of the movement conferred .with each other today, and it was agreed to let the matter drop for this week at least. The reason given for the changed front by Senator Quay’s friends is that there is considerable Opposition to the investigation, but the real reason is believed to be that the friends of the pro- posed rinquiry could not foresee where it would‘ end and whom it would affect. Be- sidéint was threatened by those against Whom the investigation would be directed to start a counter inquiry against the friends Of the investigation, who, it was said, were just as culpable in another direc- tion. There are some persons who think that the introduction of the resolution provid- ing for the investigation has only been postponed until after congress adjourns. next Monday, when Senator Quay will be in a position to give the matter his per- sonal attention. It is reported here that he intends coming to Harrisburg next week to spend a couple of days. It is very likely he will then decide whether or not the investigation shall be undertaken. Everything, however, now points to an entire abandonment Of the subject. Hawaiian Exiles Sue. VANCOUVER, B. 0., Feb. 28.—A suit against the Canadian and Australian Steamship company was commenced in the supreme court by the three Hawaiian exiles, Cranstoun, Mueller and Johnson.

AN 'onn zzbrcorr. Typesetters Asked to Have Nothing" to I); With the Salvation Army. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. ESL—The boycott of The War Cry by the typographical un- ion will probably result in an organized fight against the Salvation Army by trade: unions. Steps are being taken by the un- ion to accomplish the result, and cdpies 01 their manifestoes calling on all members Of the unions to refrain from having any- thing to do with the Salvation Army have been sent all over the coast. The War Cry offices of New York and London are both under union rules, and the system work: smoothly. The printers are very confident . of winning in the end, because General Booth is known to be in favor of labor or- ganizations. At the headquarters of the typographical union the feeling is very bitter at the action of Staff Captain Milsaps, who discharged the two soldier typesetters because they asked General Booth to order The War Cry offices unionized. On the other hand, Stafi Captain Milsaps is equally obdurate. Ht declares he is the man who has sole con- trol of the local office, and that by going to General Booth Captain Merritt and Pri- vate Hickok were guilty of conspiracy against him (Milsaps). “They should have come to me,” said the editor, ”but they passed me by, went to the general and showed that they had been conspiring to defeat my purpose while working under my command. AS this is 'a military organization. such behavim could not be tolerated, and I discharged them.” THE HAYWARD TRIAL. llIuch Evidence Brought Out In Favor or Defendant. MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 28,—The defense in the Hayward murder case seems deter- mined to fasten the responsibility for the highway robbery of April 27, 1894, on Adry Hayward, the brother Of the defend- ant. The chief incident of today’s session was the testimony given by Fred Horst 01 the Postoffice Alley stable that Adry Hayward hired a horse at 9",). In. that date and returned it at 11 :30. This ‘would have given him time to take part in the holdup of his brother and Miss Ging and ‘Miss Vedder. The defense expects to Show by other witnesses that Adry was seen near the scene of the robbery that night. The defense also devoted some time to proving that Miss Ging had actually con- templated going into the millinery busi— ness on Nicollet avenue, an intention which would explain her desire to borrow money from Hayward. The agent of the property to whom she talked of renting and two ladies for whom she had worked and to whom she had talked of her project gave the evidence. A watch repairer in the employ of Eustis Bros. testified as to the leaving. for re- pairs by Harry Hayward of a watch which figured in the Blixt story Of the tin box episode. The watch was left on the morn.- ing of the day of the murder. Red Sea. \Vreckers Arrested.
