Captain Leivis of the Monarch Objects to B ly-Arrests. - JACKSONVILLE, Fra:, April-2.—Cap- tain W. T. Lewis of . this city, who was- on the tiig-Monarch iwhen .that vessel was captured by the revenue cutter Winona near Baya Honda Key last Monday, re- turned to the city this morning. Captain Lewis says that the- capture of the tug was an outrage, as she was violating no Jaw. He says that he was on board pros- pecting the spong= fields, with 2 view of going into the sponging business; but he has given up the idea in disgust, for if ‘he has to take the chances of being arrested every few days by a revenue cutter and be towed into Key West harbor there can be no money in it. The Monarch was towed to Key West by the Winona, and is still in tne custody of the Collector of the Port. Lewis left Key West on Tuesday on the Plant sys- tem, and arrived at Port Tampa on Thurs- day alterncon. He says he did not learn any Cuban news from the passengers from Havana, and heard nothing whatever about the sentencing of General Rivera to be shot this morning &t sunrise. The captain’s name has been freque ntiy mentioned in connection witli filiboster- ing expeditions, but he declares that he knows nothing whatevr about auy éxpe- dition being -carried by the: Monarch or any other vessel from Charlotté harbor or any other place.

" HAVANA, -Cuss, April 2.—Consterna- tion has been caused among many mem- bers of political, military and civil circles here by an order that hasbeen issued by Céptain-General Weyler. Gambling has been‘indiiged in by all ciasses of officlals and the evil has grown " to such prop tions and has caused'such’a scandal -that General Weyler determined to make an attempt to'stop it. Contrary to usual cus- tom, he did not niolest the smaller offend- e7s, but issued-an order calling for the ar- | rest of thirty-nine. prominent men in Cienfuegos, -whose gambling proclivities were well known to everybody. 3 Among thoso taken into.custody are the Chief of "Policé of Santa' Clara, who has been spending much-of his time in' gam- bling in Cienfuegos, and the Police Deie- gates in the latter city. It is believed that other arrests will- follow. The chief officers ot the military admiristration are quaking ‘in- their -boots. lest an order for their arrest will. be ‘issued. ‘It'is consid- ered provable- that the civil governor of ibe province of Santa Clara will be re- moved from his office. The order of arrest states that in addition to’ gambling there #re irregularities i the accounts of the acénsed that must be settled.

Bids for Mater al for the Battle-Ships Alabama, lllinois and Wiscon- sia to Be Made. CHICAGO, Irr., Aprii 2.—*There is no reason’ from what I have observed why the Illinois Steel Company should not en- gage in manufacturing armor plate. To say the least I am highly impressed and my anticipation_ of its equipmeht and facilities have been more than realized. The rail mill is one of the finest I have ever seeri, the Bessemer department is ideal and the open hearth plant is above the average.” Captain W. T. Sampson, chief of the Bureau of Ordnance of the United States | ‘navy, who came to Chicago to-day to in- | spect the plant of the lliinois Steel Com- | pany with reference to handling contracts for armor-plate for the new battles-hips, Alavama, Iliinois and Wisconsin, thus expressed himself this evening. It was after 'a ten hours’ examination of the works at South Chicago, where it is pro- President W, P. Palmer and General Man- ager Walker of tue company accompanied the captain during the day’s inspection. - Bids for the armor piate for these three battle-ships will be opened in Washington next Thursday, and on the report of Cap- tain Sampson hinges the hope of the manufacture of armor plate 1n opposition to.Carnegie and the Bethlehem Company. The ‘present indications are believed in naval circles to be that the Illinois Com- pany will be the only bidder on the three vessels within the maximum of $300 a ton imposed by law. Hence Secretary Long deemed it advisable that his ordnance chief should look over the equipment and facilities of the Chicago concern. Abont 8000 tons of armor plate will be required for the three ships, and this, which would farnish employment. to 400 men, would be the entering wedge to es- tablishing one of the greatest armor-plate plants of the world. In the call for pro- posals it is left for the bidder to decide when the first aelivery shall be made, but it is tacitly understood that it snall be within a year from the time the contract is awarded. It is Secretary Long’s wish to have the three battle-ships ready in twojyears, yet Pals of a Large Swm. CHICAGO, ‘Irn, April 2 — Christ Schultz, aged 15, & messenger in the wholesale clothing firm of Kuh, Natoan & Fisher, was robbed of $3500 at 11 o'clock to-day. 2 Edward Wilson, a driver of the delivery wagon for the firm; with two confederates, committed the crime.

This fact cannot be left out of consideration. Itis believed in some quarters that if the Gulf of Athens is ‘blockaded popular excite- ment will compel the King to declare war, even -if his own judgment dnd that of the Cabinet were opposed. This has been a leading cause of the delay in secur- ing a unanimous agreement between the powers. There is no doubt that in the event of a Turko-Greek war the interven- tion of the powers would be suspended. The Greeks are calculating on the neu- trality of the powers so far as the Greek fleet is concerned and believe that even if they should suffer reverses on land, wiich they do not expect, they would more than retrieve themselves by the victories that their navy would win. And they confi- dently believe that the powers would not allow a Turkish army to capture Athens if the worst cawe, The Star this afternoon asserts that the blockade of the Grecian ports by the powers will begin Sunday, April 4.

STEEL STEULTURE FOKE JAPAN, The Carmegie Company Gets a Big Cou- tract From Japan. | PITTSBURG, Pa., April negie Company has accepted a contract for the first freproof steel building ever erected in the empire of Japan. Whi the amount of the contract is compara- tively a small matter, the importance lies in the fact that a new field has been | ovened for the vutput of American steel- | mills. Tamasuka Yokokaw, a Japanese en- | Rineer ana architect, arrived in Pittsburg to-day tc consult with the Carnegie Com- pany’s engineers concerning details. The | building is to cover an immense area, but | owing to the prevalence of earthquakes in Japun will be but four stories nich. It will be 1150x235 feet, and is being built by Matsui & Co. of Toklo, for offices and mer- cantile purposes. About 1500 Jons of steel will enter into the structuré. This will_be shipped by | way of New York, the first shlpment to be | loaded at New York on September 1.

GALVESTON, Tex., April 2—Yester- day 400 heaa of fat cattle received from Ardmore, lndian Territory, were shipped on the British steamer Cuban for Liver- pool. The cattle are in splendid condi- ton and a large number of cattiemen were present to witness the shipment. This is the first livestock shipment made to a European port from here in twenty- three years, and it will probably be the last for several yea:s to come, unless the Port charges are materially reduced, The same number of cattle could nave been exported through New Orleans for $1700 less than it cost here. One item of expense was $200 for water, which in New Orleans would have been supplied free. Besides the cattie the Cnban has a cargo from here consisting of 25272 plaies of spelter, 5013 bales of cotton and twent; four cases of household goods. She also carried thirty-five passengers. The Cuban will esll at Norfolk for coal and expects to reach Liverpool in twenty-one days. —_— Fride i4, Groom 17. ATLANTA, Ga., April 2.—A: special from Rome, Ga., says that K. P.

The American Chamber of Comnmerce has held a largely attended meeting to consider the effects af the bill. Among those present was Mr. Vignaud, secretary of the American em- bassy. Vice-President Peariree related statistics of the mutual trade®of France and the United States, showing 1l the latter country had sent into France, duty free, goods to the value of 180,000,000 francs, while France bad sent into the United States, duty free, only 80,000,000 francs’ worth of articles Owing to the reduction of duties to some countries, not the United BStates, the Chamber suggests that the United States reduce its tariff on some of the mostim- portant French exports. France would then aamit many American articles at a reduced rate. The Chamber hopes that the additional discretionary powers asked for by Presi- dent McKinley in bis inaugural addre: will be granted, so that reciprocal rela- tions between France and the United States can be established WILL NOT_ STRIKE A SNAG. Treasury Department Officials Arrange to Carry Out the Retroactive Features in Dingley's Bull. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 2.—The Treasury Department thought it wouwld strike asnag in attempting to carry out part of the retroactive features of the new tariffl bill, but it has found a way out of the cGifficulty. Under the last clause of the retroactive section 1t is made the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to prescribe and enforce suitable regulations to carry out the pro- visions of the entire section, including the retention in bonded warehouses of the United States or any other place where imported goods deposited, of samples of such goods until required for evidence in any trial. Retroactive sections apply to all goods ordered after March 1, and there is likely to be considerable legal trouble if samples are uot retained until now. The Dingiey bill not being a law, no law exists for compelling \he retention of samples. Chairman Dingley had a talk with Sec- retary Gage about this matter this morn- ing and that they had found a way out of the difficulty was shown by the following -statement given out later in the day: "0t course, this provision is not vet a law, but unless action is taken to retain difficalt for the depart- , in cases where it is necessary to have samples of the goods, to determine the rate of duty to successfully mawtain 1ts position that the importation was sub- ject to_the rates applicable under the so- called Dingley bill, Section 249 of the Revised Statutes provides that ‘the Secre- tary of the Ireasury shall direct the su- sermundenco of the collection of the uties on imports and tonnage as he shall judge best.” If a regulatidn is lssued providing for the retention. of samples upon imvorts from and aiter April 1 the regulation must be made under this statute, for obviously no action can be taken by the Treasury Department under the bill which passed the House until it has also passed the Senate and. received aporoval of the President. Becrejary Gage has decided to dralt sections at once requiring the retention of samples for use as evidence in legal dis- putes between the Government and im- poriers over the assessment of duties, This meay be promulgated to-morrow if their phraseology can be decided on be- tween to-day and then. As matters stand the department is in :nmathinio! a me: over the retroactive features. The sampi clause applies only to duties to assessed ad valorem, and a perusal of the biil will show that the department is conironted by complications and embarrassments in attempting to carry it out. For instance, furniture is assessed ad valorem by the Dingley bill, and the only way to retain a sample of a viece of furniture is by keep- ing the whele thing. This may interfere in ‘some ‘cases with the carrying out of ‘contracts calling for the delivery of at specified times. Altogether the lot of the official who has undertaken to draft the *'sample” clause is not enviable. e TOURIST WHEELMEN, READ THIS. Information Collected by a Consul Shows How You Wul Fare in Europe. WASHINGTON, D. C.,April 2.—Tpurists intending to take their bicycles abroad the coming summer will shortly be able to sacure from the Department of State a copy of an exhaustive report just received from Consul Cnhancellor at Havre, France, giving a detailed statement of the rules and regulations which now prevail in the various European countries regard- ing bicycles and cyclists. Some of the ;:hlel points of interest are briefly as fol- ows: France—A deposis of about 25 cents a pound to cover the import duty must be made, which is refunded when the wheel leaves the country. There is an apnual 1axof $2 for every wheel. Wheels must bave bells and !an- terns, and there are strici rules about niding. Bicycles go as baggage on railways. Germany—The duly is 3 cenis a pound, but no deposit 15 required. In Austria a deposit of $10 must be made. In “Belgium 12 per cent ad valorem duty must be deposited, members of touriug clubs o1 Frunce being exempt 5 Denmark requires 10 per cent depositana Egypt 8 per cent, and in all cases it is essen- tial (0 preserve the receipt for deposit. Eogland cusrges noduty. ltaly compels s deposit to guarantee aguinst the sale of the bicycle, exempting, however, the French Touriug Club, which is & good organization to juin, apparently, only costs 1 a year and embraces as many aa- vaniages in Europe as the League of American Wheelmen does in this country.
