[Copyright 168 by James Gordon Bennett.] Paws, Jan, 18, —[Now York Herald Cable —Special to Tne Bre.|—The Herald cor- respogient had an interview to-day with the Italian prince who figures in the Homans scandal. The correspondent found the prince surrounded by oriental luxury in the Champs Elysees. “I understand, prince,” began the corrcspondent, “that you have something to say in reference to the articles which have appeared in the Herald.” “Certaiuly I have,” said the prin hauteur, Do you know who wrote them “I wrote the articles,” “Do you mean to tell me you articles about Mrs. Homan “Ido. And now you have come to see me to—"" To interview you about them.” It took the prince a minute to entirely grasp the situation, then he cjaculated slowly, ““Mais mou Dicu! Then you must be the man I have been looking for.” “I suppose,” auswered the correspondent, and then the prince meditated. Ho scemed 10 consider that events had taken an oxtra- ordinary turn. “Yes,” he resumed, ‘“you o with wrote those i myself ) must be the man I was look ing for, but, ahem, really you know you nave quite astonished me by turning up of your own accord. The fact is 1was thinking of sending you a couple of scconds with a challenge,” Al this had been said standing, but here the privce suggested taking seats. Continuing, he said, “But I am told thatin America you object to fighting duels, 1 don’t suppose you would accept wy challenge should I send you onet” “No, Tiwould not,” was the answer. “In the first place because, as you remarked, we Amcricans do mot believe in that sort of thing, and secondly, because the facts wiic! I mentioned in my articles were already more or less public property.” “You had no right to speak of me as you did, and but for one thing I should hold you responsible,” said the prince, *“What is that one thing?" “The fact that you did not mention my name. The article merely speaks of an Italian prince in Paris. So1 can't be sure whom you meant, butif you had spoken of me as the Ttalian Prince Zuriodo, do you want to know what I should have done?” “¥es,” answered the correspondent, *very much.” *I should have begun by challen ing you to fight. If you had refused, I should have waited before the Herald ofice until I found you, and then I should have spat in your face. After that I should have taken my cane and broken it over your head. Do you comprehend ¢ “The correspondent said “yes,” and shud- dered at the danger he had so narrowly es- caped. |“Now, however,” resumed the prince, “it is different. You did not mention my name and I regard you merely as an in- termediary who recorded the information given you by others, and for which you were not personally responsible, but mark my words,” and a frown settled on the prince’s brow, “these gentlemen who mspired the first article have still to settle with me. Here are three of them. I know whom they are. I hereby authorize you to tell them with my compliments that the first time I meet them, be where it may— in the cafe, in the theater, or on the street— I shall offer them a gross public affront.” “Do you believe Homans was aware of your liason with his wife previous to tho alleged discovery at Aixiesbairnes?? asked the correspondent. “Of course ho was. Had he scen fit to shoot me immediately on hearing the truth 1 could not have complained. Such was his right, but he did nothing of the kind; in fact, he remained my pretended friend.” Before withdrawing from the noble presence the correspondent ventured the parting question: “Would you mind telling me, prince, whether the recent unhappy events will in- terfere with your friendship for the aflicted widow ¢ “I should prefer not to answer that quos- tion,” said his Ttalinn highness, smiling, %A truo gentleman is never indiscreet,” With that the correspondent took his departure, proud that he had appeased his hignborn cnemy. Moral: When a man is looking for you with a sword or pistol, go and interview kim, 2 S AL The East Africa Bill. 1. 18, —The East Africa bill was BERLIN, submitted to the bundesrath to-day.

SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY A SMALLIPOX HEPIDEMIC, Spveral Hundred Ossns Said to Exist in Denver. Raxsas Cirv, Jan, 18.—Seven persons fleege from the smallnox scourge at Danver arrived in the city last night en They report that business is very moralized, and people are getting out city by every train. They that from best authority they could obtain there are cases of the disease in different stages now in that city, and that fully 700of them are in the city pest house. Very little or no atten- tion has been paid toquarantine, and in many residences where cases exist tlhere are no placards to denote ita presence. The news. papers of the city have refrained from mak- ing a mention of the scourge, and hundreds of people are thrown in contact with it through ignorance. Within the last two or three weeks a number of people afflicted with the disease have come away from Denver and stopped in different towns in Kansus. Seven cuses were taken to Oberlin, Kan,, and there isolated to pre vent tho spread of the discase. Two cases were sent to [Kansas City and were at once taken in charge by the health authorities, City Physician Ieo discredits the state ments made by the fagitives from Denver, While e thinks that 1t is probable that there are a number of cases in that city, Dr. Fee does not deem it necessary to quarantine against Denver until more authentic infor mation is received. Should the repgrts prove true, it will be necessury for the su th ies here to use precautions to prevent the introduction of the disease in this city. A few weeks ago the attention of the city physician was called to a case of smallpox in the west bottoms, and it was found that the sufferer had just arrived from Denver, hav ing been employed a8 a clerk in one of the hotels in that city. The man was taken to the hospital and recovered in a few days. The winter season is so far advanced that it is not probable that an outbreak would oceur here after such mild tewpegature dur- ing the first half of the winter. e M'DONALD KNOCKED OUT. Cardiff Puts Him to Sleep in Fourth Round. Duvern, Minn., Jan. 18.—[Special Tele gram to Tue Bee.)—Paddy MeDonald, the pride of the Zenith city, went down before Patsy Cardiff, of Minneapolis, to-night in the fourth round. In the first two rounds the Duluth man fought gamely and often landed on the big Flour eity pugihst, but in the third Cardiff put in a couple of stinging right handers on McDonald’s jaw, each of which sent him to grass. He was barely saved by the call of time. At the opening of the fourth round Cardiff went at his man hammer and tongs, rushing him around the ring and into the ropes. Just as the watches tickedout a minute and o half the Minneapolis slugger feinted with his left, and with a lightaing upper cut with his right caught the Duluthian in the jugglar, which sent him down'in a heap, and he did not recover for a minute. Cardiff came out without a_scratch. (McDonald was badly battered. Conley, the Ithaca giant, acted as referee. route east. much de. of the the the ST T Afrairs at Port-au-Prince. Port-Av-PRINCE, Jan. 18.—The steamship Haytien Republic was run into by the Hay- tien gunboat Novelle Voldrogue on the night of December 20, inflicting but slightjnjuries 1o cither vessel. The Haytien gunboat was cntering the harbor at full speed and could have steamed to her anchorage without any change of course, but when within 200 yards of the Huyticn Republip her helm was sud- denly put to port and remained so until she struck that vessel. The gunboat was hailed, but no acswer was made, neither did her captain attemptto ascertain the amount of damage done or_offer a ance. After ascertaining the damage done the Galena sent an armed boat’s crew to the offending gunboat, where the statoment was made that ctthe jamming of the tiller ropes was the cause of the collision. It is the opinion that it was a deliberate attempt to sink the released ship. It is a question whether the scheme was by other authority than the captain of the gunboat. The board of the Galena’s officers met next day and a_demand for an investigation was made upon the Haytien government, These reports will be considered and redre demanded. Upon the return of the Galena from King. ston, Jamaica, on January 9 Admiral Luce notified the Haytien government that he considered the blockade of all the uorthern ports voluntarily raised because of the de- sertion of their post by all the blockading squadron, He wrote to Secretary Whitne that in case of the illogal scizurcof any other American vessels he would “gemand their release at the cannon’s mouth,” Legitime continues his arrest of alleged couspirators, many being of persons supposed 10 be his supporters. No organized conspir- acy seems to have existed, but only individ. ual dissatisfaction. Hippolyte remains encamped about twenty miles from Port-au- Prince, waiting the overthrow of Legitime by his own people and the peaceful surren- der of the city. By not using force he wishe to win the approval of the southern depar ment in his candidacy for president.
