IN EVENT OF WAR Speculating as tothe Probable Mexi- can Commander. GENERAL REYES LIKELY 10 BE CHOSEN Diaz in Some Circumstances Would Take the Field. - AN APPEAL TO PATRIOTS CITY OF MEXICO, January 22.—An in- teresting story in circulation regarding the probable outbreak of war between Guate- mala and Mexico 1s to the effect that Gen. Diaz, president of the Mexican republic, will take command of the forces on the frontier in person. The report is widely spread in official gossip and is not without the range of possibility. In the higher circles it is held that Gen. Diaz will not leave his seat as chief executive in the pending difficulties, at least not until his presence is Imperatively demanded at the front. ‘The general opinion of those close to the executive 1s that he will place the com- mand finally in the hands of one of three men to push the Guatemalan invasion. These three officers are Gen. Bernardo Reyes, governor of the state of Leon and a general of a division of the Mexican army; Gen. Jose Vicente Villado, governor of the state of Mexico and general of a brigade, and Gen. Lovis Torres, governor of the ‘state of Sonora and general of a brigade. Of these three it is pretty well known that the choice of the president is Gen. Reyes of Monterey, who is also the understecd favorite of Gen. Diaz as his successor as chief executive of this re- public. ‘The Guatemalan war will give the pre dent an excellent opportunity to bring out his protege and push him well forward in public favor. Reyes is well and favcrably krown by his valor and fine executive abilities, and next to the president is the mest popular man in Mexico among Amer- feans. By his friendly and encouraging attitude as governor of Nuevo Leon he has planted many large American industries in the city of Munterey, and today, as a result, that place has a larger American popula- tion than the City of Mexico. Should any- thing prevent Gen. Reyes taking command at the front, or should accident befall him, it is probable that one or the other of the remaining generals would assume direc- tion of the campaign. Should the conflict lead into a general Central American fight, or develop into unforeseen complications, it 1s entirely within the range of possibilities that Gen. Diaz would then take the field in person, with the probability of adding to his glory as the greatest military man of the pres- nt generation in Spanish America. Should the president vacate his chair, the Pext official legally authorized to assume provisional charge of national affairs would le the president of the senate, or, in case of recess of congress, as at the pres- ent time, the chairman of the permanent cengressional commission, who is named the first of every month. El Tiempo, the opposition government organ of the church in Mexico, has come out for the federal power in the present crisis, and announces that by the side of patriotism no other issues are to be com- pured. It, therefore, buries the hatchet in a strong editorial, eulogistic of the general government, and says it will not fight the administration until the close of hostilities, when it will again turn its attention to the oppression which Roman Catholics suffer in Mexico under the prevailing constitu ticn. —_—~——_ AN EXCITING ELECTION. Veters Brave Snow and Flood to Rench the Polls. EVESHAM, England, January 22.—There is considerable excitement here in the elec- tion which fs taking place for a member of parliament to represent this (the south or Evesham) division of Worcestershire, in succession to the late Sir Edmund Lech- mere, bart., conservative. For the past six weeks a bitter fight has been waged be- tween the representatives of the two par- ties, and some idea of the interest taken in the contest may be gathered from the fact that, although snow storms and floods are preventing many persons from voting, a large number of the electors are so deter- mined to cast their ballots that they are reaching or attempting to reach the polls in boats.

The Voyage of the Schooner South Bend to Hawaii. SAN FRANCISCO, January 22.—A gentle- man, whose business has brought him into contact with the customs officials, has just returned from Victoria, and he tells a rath- er startling story regarding the shipment of forty cases of arms on the notorious smug- gling schooner South Bend to the Hawaiian Islands. He says: “During my residence in Victoria and the surrounding towns last October I saw a great deal of the band of smugglers who have their headquarters along the sound. It was there I met Billy Stewart, who is known in Honolulu as ‘Opium Brown,’ and Jack Forbes, allas Jack Regan. These men are well-known opium and Chinese smug- glers. “About the 2d of October I was walking under Esquimault bridge, near the terminus of the Esquimault and Nanaimo railroads. In the recesses of an arch I noticed a pile of cases carefully covered with canvas. Each case was about four feet in length and a foot square, and I have'since learned contained rifles and carbines. I made the find about 4 o’clock in the afternoon. At that time the South Bend was at anchor in @ small inlet just ou ie the main harbor. Late in the afternoon 500 pounds of opium, packed in cloth amd baskets, were trans- ferred from the store of Fookon, Son & Co., the most prominent dealers in opium in the northwest. “The baskets i | placed under the bridge near the si and that night the drug and cases of rifles were transferred to the South Bend in a small’ rowboat. She left the inlet about midnight, and, for the first time in its history, the owners, Stewart and Forbes, went aboard the schooner and took charge of the trip all the way to the islands, where tkpy landed off the west coast of the Island of Lani. “The goods were taken ashore and stored on a Chinese plantation directly opposite where the schooner wag anchored. Stewart and Forbes are sti!l in Honolulu. Both men are notorious smugglers and swindlers and are wanted by the authorities of Seattle and other northwestern towne. For a num- ber of years they have been openly en- gaged in opium and Chinese smuggling end have succeeded in accumulating con- siderable money.” ———— HARRY HAYWARD INDIGNA A Story Was Published That He Plan- ned to Escape. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., January 22.— Harry Hayward was indignant when he was brought into the court room today. His attorneys were also indignant, and Mr. Erwin lost no time in letting the court Know the state-of the defense’s feelings. It was all due to a story printed this morning with reference to a recently at- tempted jail delivery. The sheriff had discovered a carefully planned conspiracy among the prisoners in the county jeil for a midnight delivery. It had proceeded so far that a fine set cf tuols had been procured and six rivets taken out of the bars in a protected por- ticn of the cage. The plan was to get through the cage, overpower the single night watchman and escape, but the sus- Picions of the sheriff were aroused and he | caused a search cf the cells to be made. The discovery of tools frustrated the plan. The paper which published an account of the affair endeavored to connect Harry Hayward with the plot to escape, -.nd as- cribed to him the leadership of the affair. Attorney Erwin, addressing the court, de- clared that an explanation was due his client. He then detailed how one of the prisoners on the lower tier had passed up to Hayward, whose cell is on the upper tier, a bottle of acid, with which he was told he could make his escape by using it to corrode the bars. Hayward at once teld Erwin of the occurrence and was ad- vised to have nothing whatever to do with any such pilot. He acquiesced and it was determined to notify the authorities of the plan. Hayward did not care to gain the ill will of the other prisoners by playing the informer, and the officers agreed, when informed of the plot through Hayward, that his connection with the affair should not be divulged. Mr. Erwin was very indignant, there- fore, at the publicati Judge Smith said that the whole affair was outside of the trial, but in view of the peculiar circumstances it was proper erough for the defense to make an ex- planation. Turning to the press table he made a special plea to the newspaper re- perters to be fair and impartial in all that they wrote concerning. the trial. The third juror was secured today in the person of C. S, Philbrick, a lumber- man. : — SURPASSING MAGNIFIC ENCE. The Scene After the Storm in the Sterr: SACRAMENTO, * Cal, January 22.—The scene in the Sierras 13 one of surpassing magnificence. It seems as if the route of the Central Pacific were laid through the line of the greatest stiowfall. With drifts forty feet deep and snow twenty-two feet deep on the level at the summit, the ener- gies of the railroad people are put to the test. Luckily, the‘wind is not blowing, and the situation is not complicated by the for- midable land and snow slides that so often make railroading and even existence in the high Sierras perilous. In places hardy mountaineers in the smaller towns communicate by means of tunnels through the snow. Habitations are chltterated and the reign of the storm king, magnificent, but desolate, is su- preme. Trains proceed cautiously through solid perpendicular banks of snow like marble walis towering above the coaches. The rotaries precede them in ceaseless toil, cutting the way that a couple of thousand men have prepared. The snow is falling so fast that it js not certain that the push plows will not Have to be invoked to keep the way open. The latest official reports show that dur- ing the previous twenty-four hours the snowfall was as follows: Truckee, 3 inches, on the ground 7 feet & inches; Summit, 24 inches, on the ground 20 feet 5 inches; Cas- cade, 50 inches, on the ground 18 feet; Cisco, 20 inches, on the ground 16 feet 3 inches, Emigrant Gap, 18 inches, on the ground 15 feet; Blue Canon, 12 inches, on the ground 9 ‘feet; Towles, ) inches, on the ground 8 feet 8 inches; Gold Run, 6 inches, on the ground 8 feet 10 inches; Col- fax, 8 inches, on the ground 3 feet. z ‘There is no flood in the valley. Of course, the Tules and Low basins are filled, but the streams are well in their banks, and at present there is no danger of washouts. If the storm continues it will test the levees. A warm rain on the mountain of snow would bring a greater body of water on the valley than 1861-62. Word was received early this morning that the snow on the summit of the moun- tains had reached to a level at the cross- arms on the telegraph poles, and that four inches more of snow would prostrate every. wire over the mountains. ————— Mrs. Dunlop of Petersburg Dead.

TWO COMMISSIONERS Lack of Judgment in Selecting En- voys to Hawaii. BLOUNT'S DIPLOMATIC INEXPERIENCE His Report Has Practically Killed Him Politically. ADMIRAL WALKER FRANK Ag the politicians see it, the most in- teresting and instructive phase of this whole Hawaiian business relates to the lack of judgment shown by the President in his choice of special commissioners to the islands, and to the fortunes that have befallen the two men since their return home. Mr. Blount, as is well remembered, had just concluded twenty years of honora- ble and useful service in the House of Rep- resentatives and had retired to his home in Georgia for a rest. He was expected to appear in politics again, either as a candi- date for governor or Senator, and it was conceded that when he did he would prove a formidable candidate. An able, though not a brilliant man, and but little turned of sixty, there was every reason indeed why his people should expect further pub- lic service from him. Mr. Cleveland’s cell found him setting his old house at Macon in order, He came to Washington at once, heard Mr. Cleveland through, changed ell of his own plans and started for Honolulu. It was not generally uriderstood then just what the Hawalian case was, or there would have been suggestions made to the President» about Mr. Blount and sugges- tions made to Mr. Blount about where is errand would be likely to land him. Inexperienced in Diplomacy. The President would have been told that the business called for a trained hand, and that in matters of diplomacy Mr. Blount was wholly without training of uny kind. His one term as chairman of the House committee on foreign affairs hud not come to him in the line of promotion, or for any reason denoting especial fitness for the committee's work, but only for the reason that a colleague had drawn the speakership prize. Mr. Blount’s work in Congress had all related to domestic affairs—postal, ter- ritorial, claims. It had been well done. But inasmuch as he had been a valuable factor in the speakership fight, and was now on the eve of retiring from the House, the important appointment to the head of the committee cn foreign affairs was be- stowed upon him. The preparation and the passage of two routine appropriation bills for the support of the diplomatic and con- sular service had compassed the whole of his directing participation in diplomatic business. And yet he was chosen to exe- cute a commission delicate and important enough, as has since plainly been demon- strated, to have commanded the services of a diplomat of the widest experience. Ended His Career. Mr. Blount’s friends would have reminded bim that the situation in Hawaii was a most ticklish cne for any southern demo- crat to take up. His own record in Georgia had been made and now confronted him. He was proud of it. He was holding, with his party associates in Georgia and else- where, that in any contest for political su- premacy and control, education, character, capacity, property rights must and should always triumph. And yet he was on the eve of hurrying to a scene where a triumph of this same character was in dispute, aud he would be expected to take sides with ignorance and inexperience as against the higher forces of society. But no such warn- ing reached Mr. Blount, and he plunged in- to what well-informed southern men de- clare has proved to be an abyss for him. He carried out his instructions to the let- ter, advised in his report a course calcu- lated to put the Kanakas over the whites, and thus, in the eyes of many of his old friends and former supporters, in a few months nullified the meritorious record of twenty years at home. Nobody thinks of Mr. Blount in connection with public office now. It is asserted upon good authority, indeed, that hie blunder has even cost per- sonal friendships of long standing, local sentiment in Macon on the subject of Ha- wail.and the right of the best people cn the isfands to control their affairs being as pronounced as it is here in Washington. Admiral Walker's Plain Words. The President's choice of Admiral Wal- ker for the second investigation and report is regarded as having been equally short sighted. If he wanted anything comfort- ing, and calculated to warrant any fur- ther effort to carry out his views as to Hawaii, he ought never to have selected a naval officer who had achieved distinction in the service. But one report in the cir- cumstances was reasonably to be expected, it is asserted, from a man educated to give the country and its flag the benefit of every dcubt. He is taught to look upon this es his paramount duty. He gets his first les- scons in this line while a youngster on the government's training ship, and he in turn imparts these instructions to youngsters under him as long as he walks the deck of a vessel. The friends of Admiral Wal- ker would have thought very little of him if, with the case as it stood, with the flag and the action of Capt. Wiltse both involved. he had gone to. Hawaii, divested himself of all his training and prejudices as an American sailor, and hive tried it and made report upon jt as bloodlessly and unsymputhetically as a lawyer or politi- cian, or a compound of both. He could not, it is asserted, forget that the nav: through the action of the captain of the Boston, stood assailed by the administra- tion's friends almost as savagely as the actions of Minister Stevens, and that American interests and reputation were at stake all around. The report he did make has met with the enthusiastic ap- proval not only of his fellow officers of the navy, but of the whole country as well, and has fixed his name securely, it is thought, in the public eSteem for ull time. An Exception to the Rule. It is observed that the difference in the execution of the two commissions makes a striking exception to a long established rule. The thoughtful, reflective civilian has long been set up against the plain, blunt, impetuous soldier or sailor for the adjustment of difficulties. But in this case the civilian kst and the sailor won. Mr. Blount, slavishly obeying orders, not oniy misled himself, but the President as well Admiral Walker, taking a little liberty with his orders, was able to see things so clearly that he has not only increased his reputation as an American sailor, but made some reputation as a prophet. —_—_—__-e+_____ Armory Needs, Brig. Gen. Albert Ordway, commanding the militia of the District of Columbia, to- day informed the Commissioners that the 1ew armory for the National Guard, on L street between 4th and 5th streets, is near- ly completed, and he .calls their attention to the necessity of immediately paving the public alley on the south side of the armory and repaving the public alley on the east side of the armery. As these alleys will be used by the artillery and cavalry, Gen Ordway states that they should be paved with asphalt. The sidewalk on L street in front of the armory, according to the gen- eral, requires relaying, either with brick or granolithic, the latter preferable. It is also important, the writer goes on to say, that a gas lamp be put up west of the armory at the corner of I. street and the private street known as “Armory place,” and also one in the public alley east of the armory and one in the public alley south cf the armory. The two latter, it is suggested, had better be fixe to brackets on the side of the bulldirg, rather than on posts, and need never be lighted except when occasion requires their use.

Verdict Agsinst Boston Store Set Aside by Court of Appenis. The Court of Appeais this morning in the cese of Fannie C. Ragland and her hus- band, Heary Lee Ragland, against Messrs. S. W. Woodward and A. M. Lothrop and others, reversed the judgment of the court below, and remanded the case for a new trial. Thiz was the case in which Mrs. Ragland, then Miss Fannie ©. O'Hare, sued the de- fenlants for $20,000 damages because of false arrest. A verdict for $15,000 was rendered, $5,000 of which the plaintiff re- mitted, in consideration of which the trial court refused the defendants’ motion for a new trial. The plaintiff alleged that while engaged in making purchases at the store of Messrs. Woodward & Lothrop she was accused of shoplifting, and was forced into a private room, where she was compelled to eubmit to a search of her person; being detained, she asserted, for two hours. The opinion of the court, written by Chief Justice Bingham of the District Su- preme Court, who sat in the Appellate Court in the place of Mr. Justice Morris, is quite a lengthy one, and virtually holds that the plaintiff was entitled to only com- pensatory damages, but not under the proof to punitive damages. Punitive or vindictive damages or smart money, says the court, quoting Mr. Justice Gray of the United States Supreme Court, should not be allowed unless the principal partici- pated in the wrongful act of the agent, expressly or impliedly, by his conduct 2u- thorizing or approving it, either before or after it was committed. Where the proof does not implicate the principal, however wicked the agent may have been, it is enough to hold the principal liable in com- pensatory damages. Messrs. Woodward & Lothrop, the court holds, should have been permitted to show that they did not authorize their private detective or other employes to insult or un- justly treat their patrons, and they should also have been allowed to show that they had no knowledge of the occurrence until after It was over. The record in the cas2, explains the court, disclosed no evidence that Messrs. Woodward & Lothrop de- fended their private detective in the mat- ter. Finding that the veridct returned in- cluded more than compensatory damages, and that testimony explanatory of the po- sition of Messrs, Woodward & Lothrop was improperly excluded, the Court of Appeals reverses the judgment below and remands the case to the court Lelow for a new trial. seonateret DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Keyless Door. Superintendent Henry R. Miles of the telegraph and telephone service of the District of Columbia, referring to an order of the Commissioners for the purchase of ten keyless fire alarm ‘box doors at $0 each, today requested permission to expend $400 additional in the procurement of the dcors to enable the department to exchange eight of the boxes for which keyless doors were intended for new boxes with all the latest and best improvement, including the keyless doors. The prime reason for this exchange of boxes, it is stated, grows out of the fact that eight out cf the ten boxes selected for the keyless doors are of an old pattern, in use as long ago as 1875, the docrs of which are of diiferent dimensions than are the keyless doors, and hence the Keyless doors cannot be fitted to these old- style boxes. By the additional expenditure Superintendent Miies claims the District secures not only the keyless doors, but much better boxes. ‘Bad Condition. Lieutenant Downs L. Wilson, U. S. navy, who resides at 1611 23th street, today call- ed the attention of the Commissioners to the condition of 20th street between Q and Road streets. Lieutenant Wilson earnesily requests that this portion of the street mentioned receive the early consideration of the board, as at times, he sa: it is in @ most deplorable condition. Making Connections. Sidney T. Thomas, attorrey for the Dis- trict of Columbia, has examined a letter from Mr. H. F. Hayden, superintendent of the water departmcrt, inviting attention to the act of Congress, approved March 14, 1834, entitled “An act to make service con- nections with water mains and sewers in the District of Columbia,” which was re- ferrec to him by the Ergineer Commission- er for an opinion as to who was responsible for the maintenance ana repairs of such connections, coveriag the time between the date of laying the connections and the taking of water therefrom by abutting property owners. Mr. Thomas states thai, in his opinion, the District of Columbia, and not abutting property owners, is to be at the expense of keeping in repair service connections laid under the act of Congress mentivned, between the time of laying the connections and the taking of water there- from by abutting prcperty owners. Ordi- nances 406 and 409, in Webb's Digest, which were referred to by Superintendent Hay- den, according to Mr. Thomas apply to perscns taking the water and relate to a period of time subsequent to the period mentioned, and have therefore no bearing ie interpreting the act of Congress in ques- jon. Additional Private, The Commissioners have appointed Wil- lam A. Smith 2n additional private of the metropolitan police force for three years, for duty at the grecnhouse of Strauss & Co., on Bladensburg road. Ordered Today. The Ccmmissioners today ordered: That fcur gas lamps be +rected and light- ed in N street, between 2ist and 22d streets northwest; two gas lamps in the west side of North Capitol street, between G and H streets northwest, and in the west side of 2d street, between G and H streeis, be dis- continued. That the water department be directed to lay a four-inch water pipe and place two fire hydrants within the inclosure of the United States marine bar S$, AS requesi- ed by the post commanier. Findings Approved. Commissicner Truesdell yesterday ap- proved the findings of the trial board in the following cases: Private A. J. Kimmel, fined $25 for gross neglect of duty; Private T. E. Gordon,charged with neglect of duty, not guilty; J. R. Harrover, fined $10 for neglect of duty; Private Patrick Creagh, charged with conduct unbecoming an oili- cer, not guilty. Left et the Wharf. Lieut. Boyle of the third precinct has reported to the Commissioners that a scow loaded with garbage was left at the garbage wharf on the night of January 20. Assintant Foreman. Charles Kuhns, having satisfactorily served his probationary term, bas een ap- pointed sssistant foreman in the District of Columbia tire department. Time Extende The time for completion of the contract with George White & Sons to construct fireprocf stairways in the Curtis, Abbott and Seaton school buildings has been ex- tended forty days. pe eS Assault and Dattery. The jury in the case of Chas. C. Herbert, charged with shooting David Edmunds, a colored boy, at the Center Market on the 14th of last November, returned a verdict of assault and battery. Herbert, a one- armed watchman at the market, shot the boy while attempting to arrest him, under the impression that he was a fleeing thief, and was charged with assault with intent to kill, Judge Cole remanded the defend- ant to jail to await sentence. Se School for Ivy City. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the residents of Ivy City was held in the schoo! house of that place last night. The object of the meeting was to lay before the Cor gress the necessity of a school building commensurate with the growing demand for greater school facilities. Col. P. H. Carson was called to the chair, but de- clined in favor of Mr. Hcarns, who was subsequertly elected president. Col. Carson was elected vice president and Miss Mary Lacey secretary. After several speeches were made advocating the necessity for a school building, a committee of seven tax- payers and property owners were appoint- ed to wait upon the Senate District com- mittee and urge upon them favorabie ac- tion in the premises. The following gentle- men were named as the committee: Dr. C. B. Purvis, P. H. Carson, J. I. Thomas, Jos. Brown, R. D. Carter, C. W. Hearus and A. Barnes. =; Acid Phosphate. Dr. W. 0. HOYT.

How the Old Enemy Operates and How He May Be Quickly Overcome. We may as well look the situation squarely in the face. Our old foe, the grip, has attacked us again. He has been aided by cold, dainp weather, and the vile condition of the streets in towns and cities. Strong men and women are stricken down and tormented by the fear that even if they recover their health will, in all probability, be permanently shattered. This is one of the worst things about the grip— that it may leave the senses impaired and iungs, stomach or nervous system weakened. Doctors are urging the necd of precautionary measures. Keep warm, well fed and good tempered, they say. Avoid overwork, worry and wet feet as you would a deadly poison. More; brace and tone your body with a pure stimulant, which shall belp the digestive and respiratory organs to nourish and cleanse the system. Public opinion commends Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky as an invaluable aid in fighting the grip. It is prepared with a view to combating those malarial influences which together go to make the power of our old enemy. A sneeze, a cough, a dull headache, with, probably, a ttle fever and some muscular pain, teil that the invader is at band. You will soon find how wise you were to take Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky, for it stirs your blood so that waste matter is readily driven out, while well-digested food is turned to new tissue. This stimulant will keep you in perfect health, and no healthy person yields to the grip. It strikes only the weaklings. FINANCIAL.
