When Otho Wilson, .was asked by tlhe railroad commissioners today whether -he had this year used a pass lie said he would answer the puestionbut under protesf, as there was litigation and he denied right of Caldwell -and Pearson to seats, and then said "No." (He added that' as a newspaper publisher he 'had transportation in exchange for adver tising' and had iused 'eome of this on the Southern. .The only .transporatLon the nas under this' arrangemendrpni' the Seaboard Air Xine f Is i to bent 'ham. sunder contract. - lie said he never had a' telegraph f raik. Ais to the (ship ment of ; furniture to Round Knob, he said It was for one Irate, for the round trip; that this Is . done- for summ'or tourists and that the goods haid (been shipped back to Rajeig'h. ' - When Wilson, iwaai asked af he had a Pullman pass, .hesai'd only since 'April and then added: V "I ! decline'd any passes except . on th'e . Atlantic and" North Carolina . railroad until April, when the, additional duties of the board of 'equalization wfej' girven with $600 aipprcipria'tion to pay the 'expanses of the board, with a $,00O clerk and' only $2,000 allowed Tor expenses.' In a con sultation w4th r Gofverhhor ''Russell, I asked " him how w:e shooiMs meet eat pensos. ;:'He advised me to use passes, saying he used one for (himself and all his. f amily and guests at the Executive iman'sioni- I never tied a pass-save at the earhest requesti of. the governor in order to ".save", expenses.!

This. statment is ; true; he stated to ime that .thie railways had ibeen in the habit" of giving . passes to com- ' sfone'rs, and .were villdrig; to ,do so in future, and that by their taking passes the state "would save about $2,000, I told him j if the railways bear; this" expense rand were willing to save the state this money it 'yxuld he well for the; commissioners, to take 1the ipasses and save the money to fhe. treasury ; tha't is ail." . ':: ; .:t f . ;'l ' . The goverhor returned later to the coonmission's office, and said ; , "Since my first statement was sworn to I have read the Evidence of ex-Comnoissioner Wilson and, I see h&'.says he would not ha v:e taken the passes except at my earnest request. ,1 made no earnest re quest, but s'imply told him I "thought it would he?

Aj H. Spears, secretary and general nianager of - the" fire department supply house of (Fi H.- Hayward, & Co., of New Tfork City who affected i the sale of the ehglne to Mayor Wright and who ar rived tit the city Wednesday night, yes terday Instructed the' department hqw to use theiengine and gave a test exhibition irk the 'morning and afternoon,' both of which Wer perfectly satisfactory. pvir. Spears, is "a clever obliging gentleman-and one that Is thoroughly familiar aitd wei versed with his work. In- conver sation with a Messenger representative yesterday " afternoon he explained fully the working of the engine. The engine 'is of the; Champion style, an improve ment oh 'the' old Babeock engine, and was . manufactured by the Fire Extin guishlngr Mahiufictltrring Company, . of Chicago, 111. There; is not a piece of iron about the engine, as the frame is com posed entirely of - steel, which is more durabl and !'. lighter ( than iron and the two large tanks, jwhichj contain the chem-. icils are mad t f copper with ' brass jackets.' Each, tank contains iifty gal lons: of water .into : which is dissolv ed 'twenty five, pounds of sodja and twelve pounds of vitrei - . . The! tanks arej charged in fhe.follawing manner: , The solution of .water and soda Is first put in, and then a large lead bottle con taining the vltrol Is placed in this "; solu tion anftiir an upright position in the tajiks, and when the engine is called into service ihe tanks are half way inverted, permitting the vitriol to escape from the bottles into the i solution of water and sojli anil thereby form a chemical gas whij-h has a telling effect upon fire. .The chemical; to be thrown upon, the lire has to; ass j througlif al specially prepared rubber 'hose and ; then out upon the; fire through ja threeieight inch nozzle, w-hlch willj. throw a stream "about fifty, feet.': Through a three-inch' nozzle one of the. tanks will furnish a "stream for sixmin-1. utf. The tanks are used one at, a time; whith allows the. recharging of one while the jothe is being used without -ony ', de lay,) as he -rubber hose is attached' to both tank3, though both tanks can be' drfwn upon by .the hose at the same time, which is. hot generally done as .i does hot, increase the pressure and only mates a loss of ?time in recharging. Two rec'harges of vitriol in lead bottles are carried - on; the engine, ; incased in smalt brass- tanks. On the engine is . also car ried twb ) axes, two- Are hooks, one bar, two ladders, two torches, four lanterns 'and all ; necessary .too'.s. The engine shuld bej managed by-three men, includ ing the driver,' although if necessary, two men lean attend to it. ? ,! j The engine itself weights 3,090 pounds, but when charged and with the three firemen fyn board 'It will 'weigh about 4,500- pounds. There is no danger of an explosion Mr. Spears says, as water at a -temperature; of 60 degrees with the regular charge,- will make a pressure "of 150' pounds, 'and: water at. a temperature of 100 degrees will make a pressure -of 240 pounds, while the engine before it" was shipped was tested- and stood a pressure of !S0 potinds. 1 . '": V:;hen the alarm souuds the-'object isi to get the engine to a, fire asv.quick as possible, and then exercise judgment in using it. ; If a' -fire is confined inside a building the; hose should' be carried in and the chemical thrown upon the fire. For large; outside fires, .the engine Is not Of much service, and some times a fire is so hot as to not to allow the firemen, to get close enough to use the engine. R an'd- so in a case of tlit kind the engine is Used in keeping the fire from communi cation to near-by buildings.; These chemi cal engines are used' by nearly 'all paid fir departments, and where they are used they are said to extinguish' 75 per cent of the fires. After testing the en gine yeste-rday afternoon Mr. Spears and' Chief Schhibberi went -down to the house of iEnginej Company No. 1 and tested the two thousand feet of the heated, rubber lined, cotton hjse,.' which was also pur chased from Aiessrs Hayward '& Go., through Mr. Spears. Mr.' Spears expects to take his departure this morning. Turner's North Caroliha Almanac for sale at R. R. ; Bellamy's, Wilmington, Njc ; - .:- THE SCALP1NCJ BILIj.

Xate'this 1 . 1. 'v af temopn 'the (first news of the day came to the state (department from United States Consul General Lee who telegraphed that : everything was very quiet in Havana today and that there was no caue for; apprehension of trouble.

':t- ;.-'; ;,-- - :. ' Consul General jLee has reported to the state department from: Havana under date of yesterday, the facts -connected with the rioting there yesterday. While the state department ofhcials "do not divulge the text of the dispatch 1t is said it corroporatea generallo. the newspaper reports : on . the subject According to General iLee's report, the disturbance - had; (been; .quelled, for. the time helng, I hut? he was apprehensive of another outbreak at any moment General Xee !did not ask to1 have a war Iship sent to Havana airtd In . the opin ion of the state (department officials that 'is sufficient "reason for the ls- sumtion that there is no occasion. for sending one. The officials are evidently not apprehensive of any trouble in the immediate future that will require 'the forcible ; intervention of our govern ment. ).- 1 ..? The ;disquiettog feature of 'the situa tion is the horribl e cond rtion of the poor in Cuba, j lAccording to General Lee's ad vices no! less than 200,000 people on the island ateih the last stages, of destitu tion and! are wholly dependent upon -charity. . To f eed (these people on a 10 cent ration per (day . would cost $20,000: daily, which eUm iis double the amount so far received in contributions during the past! tap days by the state (department. In (Qhe opinion of Gen eral Lee,' no. less han 20 per cent, of these poor people are surely: (doomed to (death ! from starvation and. disease, Jjn such a state fcf affairs the existence of any form of (organized government is threatened and t the autonomy plans (of the Spanish j government command little attention. Secretary Long was asked whether any of the (American! ships had been ordered to be ready to sail for Havana. He replied that.rwhJle he could not dis cuss the matter! he would say that he had not made any (change in the orders 5to the battleship .Maine,' now lying at Key West. Inquiry-developed the fact that the 'Maine? last orders were to go out for .target practice and upon falling in with the North - Atlantic squadron, tp'attaeh herself. I Although there is no expectation at the navy department of any trouble just-how, still in case -it should occur the navy is more strongly represented in Florida and -West Indian waiters than it has heen in the past ten. years. "At Key1; West there is the second -class battleship Maiine, at Jack sonville the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius, atjSL Ki'tts 4s the Annapolis and at Guadaloupe thesl "Wilmington. The De troit Is on the way from Cape Haytien to Key West, where she is now due. This naVar force is made up, with one exception, theyMaine, of un armored but lightly protected "cruisers and gun boats. It will -be powerfully reinforced, however, in a few days hy the North 'Atlantic.- squalaron .i under 'Admiral Sicard: oomiposed of "heavily armored vessels, the most . powerful fleet that the United States'-has had together in many years. It is. authoritiyely stated at the navy (department that. tlBB southern move ment of; the squadron , is in j no degree attributable to the troubles 'in Havana, ftut tht the movement i a part of the programme for winter manoeuvres of the squadron, (prepared 'by the navy idepartment months ago. The Spanish I minister, Sencir Dupuy de Lome, has heen. kept constantly ad vised of every 'development within the flast twenty fom hours at Havana and he summed up his advices thia after noon by sajng that they show the up rising to have been, j a riot, pure and simple J that order; has been completely restored and thft the authorities have an ample force ito offer every protec tion; that th e tu m ul t was confi ned t o JSpanish and Cuban residents and thlat ho indignity wag put ph any American interest r citijteh,; public or private. . The official jadvlces began arriving about , mid night . ?ast night.iand have come uninterruptedly since then.

' -Later as the peo- , pie were leaving the shops at the close of the day's work 'and the streets were filled with home goers, the demonstra tion was m&dertagain by attack on the establishments' of .. La ' Diseuss'i'Ort and the Tiarird "de la Jlarina, The dis patches s'tate that a small group raised a cry against autonomy, some few gave vivas1 for General Weyler, while some scattereid shouts "were directed at Gen eral 'Blanco.1 Jsn, the main, however, the vivas j were 'for Spain: and the army. The, mounted police were brought into use ahd dispersed.1 'the groups, so that, order was restored ana the city was tfanquil hy mliidnight i ...v- . ; During the excitement United States Consul Genera !Lee was fn communica tion! .ivith the Spanish authorities. Neither he nor the officials ' appear to have heen apprehensive, but it was. deemed the part of wisdom to" guard against contingencies (by sending a guard of soldiers to t;he United States legation ; and to the private residence of Consul General' Lee. 'Accordingly twenty-five Spanish soldiers were dis patched to the! United States consulate and another guard' of twenty-five to the residence of General Lee. They acted as an emergency jruard, and no occa sion arose for their:" services to be brought into; ' actual requisition. Throughout the (disturbance, it is said at the legation, there rwas not a shout against the Uhitted States nor a hand raised against an, American citizen. Havana, Jasuary 13. The .United States Consul; General. General Fitz hugh Lee, absolutely denies that he has asked the Authorities at Washing ton to sfend two; wafships to Havana.. There is no foundation whatever f or .the rumor tha United States Consul General Lee met with violence during the disturbance last -night or today. During1 the height; of the uproar - last evening, he walked about freely in Central park and in front of the Hotel Inglaterrai, Today ;he has been attend,, Ing! to official "business as Usual.
