LONDON , Feb. 10. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to TUB Ur.n.1 The Herald
correspondent to-day had nn Interview with
the Cointo Uc Paris at Sheen house , Molt
I-nko. The house faces upon a narrow coun
try rend , and around it runs huge brick
walls , the entrance being through a vopy
small door. The grounds nro well kept and
extensive , nnd a number of veteran trees
with gnarled nnd spreading branches must
make the place lovely in summer. I was re
ceived by M. Uupuis , who was most cour
teous. "If you will como this way , " said
the secretary , "tho prince will receive you
in his cabinet do travail. "
I followed , and was greatly struck by the
beauty of the room into which wo passed. It
was largo and richly furnished , with a high
roiling end everything that goes to produce
comfort , but its great feature was a monitor
bow window really three windows which
occupy almost the entire end of the room.
This splendid opening not only lets in a Hood
of light oven on the gloomiest day , but It al
lows the eye to wander over a lovely lawn
which , In the _ distance , ends In a grove of
line old forest Irees.
"Tho prince will como In presently , " said
M. Uupuis. "Meanwhile , hero is something
interesting , " pointing to the tri-color Hag of
France , which was draped between two
merino sketches. "Tho largo ooat under
neath , " went on my companion , "is ono In
which wo were sent away into exile.
Curiously enough , that boat wont down some
time later on the rocks of Dieppe. The sketch
above shows the sccno of the wreck , and
the Hag which hangs there is the only tning
that was saved. You will understand , " ho
ixddcd , "how , to a pnnco banished from his
country , such a bouvonir is of priceless
value. "
"Perhaps , " I ventured , "tho prince in four
or Jlvo years will bo reigning in the country
he so longs to see. "
"Ah , yes , perhaps ; perhaps in even loss
than Ilvo years. Events are going very fast
Just now In Franco. Who knows ! "
' 'What do you think , sir , will be the out
come of the present crisis ! "
"Ah , " with an expressive shrug , "Jo no
BiUs nbsolumcnt Hen pas-plus quo lo General
Boulangcr. This ono thlng.howover , is abso
lutely certain that which over way events
may move , they must move against the re
public. Republicanism was never monnt for
Franco nor Franco for republicanism. The
experiment has been tried twice already , and
twice it has miserably failed. What the
people of France have always wanted what
they want to-day aad what they will have to
morrow is n man. I do not venture to say
who that man will be , but mark my words , a
man tliero must bo to extricate us from the
deplorable plight into which thcso republi
cans Imvo dragged us. "
"But did not the republic get along well
enough until recent years } "
"Precisely , nnd for the simple reason that
until recent yours wo , the royalists , were
practically at the head of the government.
But since 1870 the republicans have been
fighting among themselves for the control of
affairs , and n pretty mess tnoy have made of
It. The republic cannot Ilvo because the
republicans are their own bitterest enemies.
They are incapable of union. "
At this moment a stir at the door nn-
nounced that the prince himself was
coming.
" 1 am glad to BOO you , " said the Comto do
Paris , advancing with extended hand. "Sit
down hero nnd tell mo what I can do for the
Jlornld. "
I did tell the count what ho could do for
the Herald , nnd then , unfortunately , ho told
mo why ho could not do it. Ho was willing
to talk , perfectly end graciously willing , but
not for publication , Consequently I am
obliged to keep silent , as to what was said
during the fifteen minutes or so I spent In
his company.
What strikes ono most in the prince's man
ner is a happy combination of simplicity and
dignity. Ho Is less disposed to mnkn an im
pression than the humblest of his servants ,
nnd yet possloly for that very reason ho docs
make a decided Impression. Ho is a very
tall man an Inch or two over six fcet--nnd
in ttpltoof n slight stoop his figure Is well
I > ro ) > ortlonud and commanding. Ho speaks
English with great fluency , nnd the slight
accent which may occasionally bo detected Is
not Unit of the ordinary Frenchman. It Is
rather the cosmopolitan accent of a man
familiar with n number of modurn languages.
The prince was dressed very simply In
n grey tweed morning suit , und he sat
back informally In on easy chair , his
legs crossed carelessly , and spoke ns
naturally and spontaneously as the
first gentleman you might meet parsing a
stray half hour at his favorite club. Ho
exnrcssed the deepest Interest in the news
Just arrived from Paris of the ovci throw ol
Floquet's ' government , and Indicated his
conviction that the outlook for the French
republic ) was growing blacker und blacker ,
Ho referred In detail to the working of the
republican form of government In the United
States , Indicating what bcomcu to him some
serious defects and dangers.
The cointo may not enjoy being Inter
viewed , but ha certainly submitted to It
most graciously. As I rose to go I com
menced to express my thanks for the favor
accorded mo , but the prince cut mo snot t with
the assurance that ho was the ono whc
had been fuvorcd. Some- people may regard
this as a piece of royal utircasm , but I can
testify that , oven so , It was n vast Improve
ment on other methods of farewell not un
known la the Interviewing world. I loft
Bhccn house , not as I entered it , but by the
grand doorway at tbo front , and the whole
hierarchy of attendants gazed at mo In re-
awe , oud as X passcd out through
\
the little door I heard my coachman's sonorous
ous voice calling out : "Faith , nn' ye know
that young man saw the Comte do 11 Paris ! "

Cmcvoo , Feb. 10 [ Special Telegram to
-Tun Hin.J There Is n minor abroad to the
effect that Myer and McAuhlTo , the light-
.vclght pugilists who exhibited their knowl
edge of the Ii3lsarllan art , at North Judson ,
on Wednesday , are to meet again and light
M n finish or try to. Various excuses h.ivo
jeen offered for the tinovpecti'd and urn-
jan-asslng fiasco nt North Judson , when the
.wo men , each having a refutation ns
'knockers-out , ' ' faced ono anotlTor In a ring
for nearly Ilvo hours without getting a
scratch. The most commonly accepted is
that It was n put-up Job from the start , nnd
was engineered to make money , not only by
thosalo of tickets , but by baiting some nth-
etlc club , or coterie of sport-loving men ,
nto offering a big purse for u tight in pri-
vnto.
This is given color to by the fact that
Mycr and his backer came up from Strenter
yesterday nnd held a conference with a num
ber of gentlemen Interested in pugilism.
McAulilTc and his backer , also , instead of re
turning homo after the exhibition at North
Judson , merely returned to Milwaukee and
keep themselves within easy call of Chicago.
Such n meeting , It is said , has been planned ,
onl.v those whoso reputation for trustworthi
ness generally passes as being of the "right
stuff" having been "put on. " Ono of these
was seen by n reporter. Ho said :
"It's going to bo the best light you over
saw. It's going to bo to u finish , too , and no
mistake. It's going to take place in a room ,
and when you get llfty or more men together
who have paid f 100 apicco to get there , you
can lay heavy odds that they won't ' stand any
Delsartian business. "
The light will , according to the present
programme , take place about 11 o'clock to
night.
The majority of those attended the fight
are not willing to admit that they were
angled for and landed as "suckers" in the
finest style. They aver with moro or less
passion that it was merely a money making
scheme , so managed as to yield every dollar
which could be squeezed out of it. An inter
view with Hlllv Madden , trainer and man
ager lor McAuliffo , lends color to
this statement. Resenting the averment
that ho had proved himself a poor
manager , Madden triumphantly points to his
balance sheet , showing receipts to satisfy
the appctito of pugilistic avarice , and ex
penditures wnloh , if invested in rye bread ,
would but have sharpened the hunger of the
famished throng who thirsted for blood In the
opera house at North Judson. Billy , further
more , nalvoly explains that the cost of the
affair would not have been oven half so great ,
had it not been , unfortunately , nojcssary to
declare a dividend for the rapacious sheriff.
HIE PRESIDENT'S AGREEMENT.
General McNiiltu Snys Tlmt it Has
lo Itc Adopted.
CHICAGO , Feb. , 10. [ Special Telegram to
Tun BKK. ] General McXultu , receiver of
the Wnbash , said in conversation to-day :
"The president's agreement has simply got
to puss. There may bo a further postpone
ment to get the northern lines in , but to a
man ncqunlnted with the situation it is per
fectly plain that the agreement is nn abso
lute necessity. I have never for a moment
doubted that it would finally pass. I notice
that the feeling on the lown business is
greatly improved. The alarm on the part of
tlio investors in Iowa as to the security of
their investments , with a disposition not to
place any moro money there and to with
draw their funds as rapidly as possible , has
in n great measure aroused tbo business in
terests of the state to a realisation of the fact
that the action of their commissioners will
result In material Injury to the general pros
perity of the people. Business men are bo-
crinning to realize that the rates fixed by trie
commissioners are below the actual cost of
transportation to the roads. Owing to the
lack nl volume it cannot bo carried in that
state nt the same rate per ton per milo as on
the main trunk lines. "

LinuMN , Feb. 10. The semi-olllcial press ,
after inciting and lamenting excitement over
the rumored intention of Bismarck to retire
from public life , now turn around and declare -
clare that the agitation has n purely artificial
origin. Hints thrown out regarding his suc
cessor wuro obviously designed to influence
the nation ilists to return absolute submis
sion to the chancellor , against which recently
they had been inclined to rebel. Hut apart
from the allusions of the seml-ofllcial press ,
several coincident facts have pointed to
coming eventful changes in the government.
The North German Ga/etto says In substance -
stance ; "Tho conclusion drawn from the
contradiction is that Prineo Histnarck , no
matter what momentary inclination ho may
have had to withdraw from the worries of
ofUcial life ho now means to cling lo every post
he holds. The discussion has had an
all-important result in revealing the expec
tations of the imperial circle regarding the
government after the departure of Bismarck.
The emperor has not concealed from his In
timate circle his conviction that Bismarck
cannot bo displaced. When ho chooses to
retire the emperor , will not ap
point another rcichskanter. The em
peror believes ttiat ho himself
ought to exercise the functions of chancel
lor , witli a soldier-statesman as advisor. "
Hcforonco to the soldier statesman points
to Count Waldersee , concerning whom Prince
Bismarck's organs continue to advise the na
tionalists to cultivate distrust.
A nationalist committee recently ad-
drosted to a number of members of
the group a letter advising great
prudence and reserve in their attitude
toward the internal policy of the chancellor ,
whoso declining powers , said the letter , be
come moro and moro apparent. Bismarck
got hold of a copy of the letter , and raised a
huiricano , blaming the committee for its
treachery. Ho would have dis
rupted the committee , but ho finally
selected a line of action aiming
to show the party that his powurs were un-
shakun , and that the country could not do
without him.
An open collision between Bismarck and
Waldersoo is anticipated over the artillery
credits during the debate in the rcichstng
early in March. The report of
Waldcrseo demands large extra credit.
Bismarck opposes the demand , und
Sc'hellondorf sides with the chancellor ,
denying that there is any necessity for what
Walderseo recommends. The emperor is
undecided , but he shows a tendency in favor
of Walderseo. Whether the Internal crisis
will burst into an open rupture or not , the
fact is certain that the influence of Count
Waldcrseo over the emperor grows , while
that of Prince Bismarck wanes , Count Von
Schcllcndorf's long pending withdrawal
from the war ofllco will bo hastened by the
dispute.
The resignation of Dr. Von Schilling , the
Prussian minister of Justice , Is also imml
ncnt.
The emperor tested the working efficiency
of the Spandau garrison last Wednesday. Ho
appeared unoxpectedly. The call to arms
sounded through the fortress , nnd In a few
minutes thu officers and men were at their
posts. The emperor was greatly pleased ,
nnd congratulated the men and oftlcers. To
day ho gave a farewell audience to the
Morocco mission. Ho entrusted the mem
bers of the mission with a number of costly
presents for the sultan. The mission will go
to hsscn as the guests of Hei r Krupp , nnd
will negotiate for the purchase of guns. A
special German mission will be sent to
Morocco.
Count Herbert Bismarck daily iccoivcs
long cipher despatches from the German
embassy nt Paris , and goes personally to
present them to the emperor. If the foreign
ofllcinls faithfully rofluct their chief's ' opin
ion , the gloomiest view Is taken as the re
sult uf the French crisis. General Houlnnger
is considered to bo master of the situation.
It is probable that the pending manoeuvres
will bo changed so ns to convert the theuiu
into a warning demonstration along thu
frontier. The planswhich have already been
approved by the emperor , include pontoon-
ing oHjrations | between Mannheim nnd Phil-
llpsburg. Aftur witnessing them the cm-
purer will llx his headquarters at Munstcr
for the nmnoivuros of the Westphalian and
Hanoverian corps. The amended pro-
gramme fixes his headquarters nt Mannheim.
The Wurtomburg und Bavarian contingent
will shnro in the demonstration if it is de
cided upon , The press of all shades of opin
ion take a pessimistit view of the outlook.
Captain Wissmann to-day bid his relatives
farewell and started for Brlndlsl , whence ho
will go to Zanzibar.
Dr. Stocckcr's ' action against Court
Canplnln Witte has been rejected by the con
sistory. Dr. Stoeckcr asked that disciplinary
measures bo taken against the court chaplain
for lying In thu consistory. Besides refusing
to reprimand Court Chaplain WitU , It Is
likely that the consistory will subject Dr.
Stoucker himself to dUcIpllne.

FO11OHD 11V DETECTIVES.
How the Pnrncll Letters Were Writ
ten for tlic Times.
NRXV Youic , Fcb. 10. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : BBI : , ] The testimony given In the
Parnull case by Soames , solicitor for the
London Times , has effectually corroborated
the belief hold by a few well-informed persons
in New York that Detective Moshor , who
was employed by the Times to gather evi
dence against Parnull In America , hud swin
dled his employers out of not less than
$10,000. Soames testified that hu hired
Moshur to come to America to trace the
source of certain documents. Moshcr's
career in this city has been known in part by
many persons , but the real character of the
man and his work hero has been known only
to n few. Inspector Byrnes , had him under
surveillance soon after he came hero , as ho
mistook ono of Byrnes' men lor some one
else and was indiscreet enough to
tell him his business. Moshcr tried
every possible way to got possession
of the documents he wanted , If they were In
existence , but failed utterly. Despairing of
losing his livelihood , the Times being very
liberal , he determined to earn his money by
forging the letters for the Times. Ho repre
sented to the detectivewuo was assisting him
that ho could charge the Times any price
that he liked for forged letters , nnd that if
the Times would not nay tbu bills he would
sell the papers to a certain evening paper in
London. His assistant was wilting to help
swindle the Times if lor nothing moro than
to get even , as far as might be , for that
newspaper's attack on Parnoll. Between
these two men a number of letters were
forged purporting to hiwrfTjcon written by
Parnell , Healy and others to P. J. P. Tynan ,
the famous "Number One , " who is now in
this city. The letters , purported to give
Tynan instructions concerning the Phconix
park case. The detectives forwarded these
letters , one at n time , to lho Times solicitors.
Seine of tills money is kuown to have been
received through cipherJablc dispatches.
Is Pisott Reliable ?
LONDON , Fcb. 10. Th.o Pall Mall Gazette ,
commenting upon thd admission made to thu
Pnrnell commission by Soames , the Times'
solicitor , nnd MacDonuld , manager of the
Times , that they had never asked Pigott or
Houston where they got the letters secured
by the limes , says :
"Every thing depends entirely upon Pigott's
word. The character of Pipott , therefore
is of the first importnncfe. The Times stakes
everything upon his word. If Pigott were
the Apostle Paul iiis solitary word might
sufllcc , but if ho falls short of the abostolic
character , what then ? "
The Gazette ends its article dangerously
near contempt of court with a point of inter
rogation suggesting that the character of
Pigott is doubtful.
Laboucbore , in an interview , said that the
total amount of money which ho paid Pigott
was $ Q. Ho further said ho would disclose
nothing further regal-ding the alleged at
tempt to bribe Pigott until he went into the
witness box.

GHKIIXVIU.U , Minn. , Feb. 10. [ Special
Telegram to Tin : Bii.J Shortly after mid
night n young Bohemian named Joe Chem-
clck , fatally womulca two daughters of his
half brother , M. L. Chemolck , shot their
mother dead at the bedsldo of her dying
daughters and then sent a bullet through his
own brain. About 0 o'clock last evening
Frank Chcmelelcnnd Joseph Chemelck went
to the residence of M. L. Chomelck , a half
brothnr of the latter , to spend the evening.
About 11 o'clock Joe Chomelck picked up his
hat and went out doors. Walking to his
father's house , which was near by , ho took a
double-barreled shotgun from { ho rack and
returned to M. L. Chcmelek's whcro ho
secreted himself in a grove near the
Tiouse. About midnight Mnry Chetnoloh
aged sixteen nnd her sister Hose , aged
eleven , stopped out of doors. She had been
out about a quarter of an hour when two
pistol shots were hoard. The father rushed
to the door nnd opened it. The two girls
stood on the steps with blood streaming
down their faces.
" \vn HAVI : nr.nN SHOT. "
exclaimed Rose , "by Joe Chen'elok , " and
fell in a faint. She was taken upstairs and
placed on her bed. Mary , who was not so
badly injured , managed to climb the stair
way and lay down by her sister. The father
then started for assistance.
As soon as ho had left the house Joe
Chcmelok entered with the shotgun in his
hand and went upstairs. Taking deliberate

so that she must have turned her head just
as the shot was llred. Hose was nlrc"ady in
the agonies of death , but Mary had snfllcicnt
strength to spring from the bed. Cheinclek
drew a revolver and attempted to shoot her.
She siezed his arm , however , and after a
struggle , succeeded in getting away , down
the stairs and out the door. Chemclek , who
seems to have been very much under the in
fluence of liquor , attempted to follow , but
hearing voices iu the road , turned aside into
a pasture.
The gin , though barefooted and only hah'
clad , mudo her way a half-mile through the
HIIOW to a neighbor's. She reached the door

she fell to the Moor a corpse. Cheinelcck , in

his right hand still clutched his revolver ,
while under him and hold in his arm was the
shotgun.
The motive for his crime is a matter of
conjecture. The indications are that It was
committed in a drunken frenzy. Some think
ho had an accomplice In the person of a man
named Joe Fell. Fell and a man named
Welch had a law suit. Fell was an intimate
friend of Chemclek , and In the suit Mary ,
ono of the murdered girls , gave damaging
testimony against Foil.

gram to Tim Bun. ] The effect on Burling
ton wholesalers of the adoption by the Chicago
cage , Burlington & Quiney of the Iowa com
missioners' rates is to insure a now lease of
life to some of the largest among them. For
months many have been doing business at a
loss because of oppressive and unjust dis
criminations in favor of Chicago. The new
tariff has so changed this that the Burling

Chicago to points west on the Chicago , Bur

the rates from Chicago to the Mississippi
will bo lowered before long , and declare that
they will continue the fight , and that any

Hie Tariff IttlN.
WASHINGTONFeb. . , 1CTho ways and
means committee had n short meeting this
morning. Thu McMillan tariff bill , which
was presented to the committed yesterday ,
was finally considered and ordered reported
to the house. According to the committee's
estimates of the bill It would , if enacted into
law , reduce the revenues fTJOllOl)0. : ) ) ) It is
closely patterned after the Mills bill. It
omits the chemical and iron schedule1 * , ex
cepting pig iron , rails and tin plate. Other
changes are in dates and other unimportant
details. When this was disposed of the com
mittee , with a view to having at hand a bill
to meet the immediate emergencies in the
matter of excessive revenue , authorised a
favorable report upon the original bill prepared
pared by Hopresentativo Breckcnridgo , of
Virginia , which proposed to put tin plate and , .
wool on the free list niuT'to reduce the inter
nal revenue as proposed in the Mills bill.
The bill also includes the woolen and worsted
cloth sections of the Mills bill. This meas
ure , it is estimated , would reduce the rov-
pnues about 540,000,000.
The committee wound up its meeting by
directing favorable reports on borne private
relief bills and on the Rich bill , amending
the status so ns to include the Ualnly lake
and Laico of the Woods forest owners , of
Minnesota , in the privileges now accorded
these of the St. Croix river , Maine , of free

ST. LOUIL , Mo. , Feb. 10 , The Rapublic
this morning says it transpired laUj last
night that the legislative committee which
has been hero for several days investigating
the stnto insurance department has discov
ered that the department , not only under the
present commissioner , Walker Carr , but also
under his predecessor , Williams , has been
administered in a very extravagant , if not
corrupt manner ; that unduly high salaries
and exorbitant attorney fees have been paid ,
and that insolvent insurance companies
whoso affairs were in charge of the depart
ment Imvo actually been located. Commis
sioner Cnrr indignantly denied the charges ,
and maintains that the department under his
administration has been conducted in a busi-
noss-llko way. As to insolvent companies ,
he says that their affairs were in the hands of
the court and ho simply obeyed the order of
the court. The committee will present its
report to the legislature next week.

SAN 1'iuNcisro , Fub. 10. The steamship
Marlposu , from Austria und the Hnmoan
Islands , arrived this morning. Among the
passengers Is John C. Klein , the American
newspaper correspondent , who has Hgni-ed
in the Uerlin dispatches as having led the
natives In the recent battle with the Gor-
nmns on the island , but who claims to have
witnessed the light as n non-combatant , in
his capacity as a correspondent. When mar
tial htw was declared on the islands by tliu
Germans an attempt was nmdo by the lattur
to seize Klein , but ho was rescued by the
Amci leans , and took passage on Uiooooauiu
steamer .Mariposa for this port.
When the Mariposa left Samoa , the islands
were still under martial law , and German
aggression had become very marked , nnd is
claimed to have boon directed against Ameri
cans as well as natives. The Mariposa loft
the Samoan islands on February 1. On that
date none of the American men-of-war , or-
doiedtogo to the islands , had arrived , and
the Germans , under the operation of the
martial law , were in complete control of the
islands and commenced to search all vessels
in Samoan waters , but after seizing an ling-
llsh tourist , named Gillan , on thu steamer
packet Richmond , Captain Ilnmt , of the
Knglish war ship Uoyullst , ordered the
man released nnd prepared for action.
The Germans released Gullan on this da
maud. Goods which arrived on the Richmond
mend for American merchants at Aplcn , the
Germans would not permit to bo landed uc-
less taken to Gorman storehouses and passed
upon by German oflicinls.
The Samoan Times was suppressed on
January 11) ) for stating that but for German
support nil the Samoans would Join Matnufa ,
and that unless Bismarck wits deceived ha

Captain Fritz , the German nnvnl com
mander , on January 2. ) issued orders instruct
ing all residents of Apia to turn overall guns
or ammunition held by them and proclaimed
a right of search , Captain Mullan , of the
Amcric.m man-of-war Nipsio , protested
against tills action , slating that thu Amer
ican government hud never recognised
Tamnssce , and that no power would allow
them to sic/o arms unless used nguinst a
friendly nation ,
The German troops , acting ns police in
Apia , attempted to arrest ICIoin , but on ad
vice of the United States consul ho went on
board the Nipsic. On January ! JS Captain
Frit/ made 11 demand on Captain Mullan to
reldisu Klein that he might be tried before a
German military tribunal. Cantain Mullan
replied that ho proposed to protect all Amor-
lean citizens in Samoa , und that Klein would
not bo surrendered for trial , and on Febru
ary 1 , placed him on tbo Munposn.
The Mariposa brings the first mall advices
from the Sumoan islands since January 3.
The Mariposa loft the Island of Tutullla on
February 7. At the tlmo of the departure ;
of the Marlposu the necessity for the pres
ence of the American men-of-war ordered 16
the sccno is claimed to have been urgent , ua
the operations of the Germans were directed
moro ag.iinst American und Knglish resi
dents than .against Matanfa and his
forces. A formal declaration of war
against King Mataafa was made by the
H
German authorities on January ID , and mar
tial law established for thu entire islands.
On the same day Knglish subjects were
sui/ud and taken on board the German men-
of-war. American and Knglish bubjoets also
were taken in charge by nn armed bout from
a German war ship. Instead of thu war being -
ing prosecuted ng.iinst Mataafa and his fol
lowers , the Hermans neglected them almost
entirely and conllncd themselves to opera
tions against American and Knglish subjects.
Kurly In the month of January a number
of Tcmnsscu's men began dcsortinir , among
them being ono of his most prominent chiefs.
They were not willing to Join with the Ger
mans in llphting against the natives of
S.imo.i. On Jnnurry 8 a largo boat load of
Tamassco's suMiors c.imo from up the coast
and communicated with thu German war
ship Adler. The sainu night several desert
ers from TumusHoc's army went to the camp
of King Mataafu , at Mnsaigl , and informed
him Unit the rebels intended to mnku a raid
on Apia on the following night , and also as
sault Mataafa's pirty. The Germans were
to assist the ruhiih as much as possible , and
American and Knglisu residents wuro to ho
attacked equally with Mntnafa's ' mun.
The king ut oncu informed the Amer
ican and Knglisn residents of tills
fact , thus giving thum an opportunity
to prepare for the attack. At 2 o'clock on
that night Lieutenant FillcUc , of the United
States marino corps , In nhnrgo of the marine
guard at the American consulate , was
aroused by a sentry , who informed him that
