July: 29 The London cor respondent of the Cologne Gazette says: "I learn that the United States re cently requested Italy to abstain from forcible measures to compel Colom bia's compliance with Mr. Cleveland's award in the Cerruti claim, promising American influence to insure the pay ment. Italy replied that her patience was exhausted and that she would abide by the ultimatum of Admiral Cam biani. The U. '-S. i government thereupon applied unofficially to Great Britain asking her tp use her influence at Rome in support of the American re quest. England's reply is not yet di vulged, i The Porto Slcan Solons.

Detroit Journal. A SUBMARINE GUN. Problem of Shooting Under Water is Believed to be Solved. For several days experiments have been in progress at Tybee with a gun that shoots under water. Heretofore, it has been claimed that it is absolute ly impossible to discharge a cannon or any other weapon in which gun powder is used under water, the result of such an attempt being the bursting of the weapon used. Harry Gallagher, of this city, be lieves he has surmounted all the ob stacles in the way, and will soon have an invention that meets all needs, so far as the successful discharge of pro jectiles under water is concerned. Mr. Gallagher has been working on this invention ever since the war broke out. His idea is that with such a weapon as he has in viow a shell can be thrown against the unarmored part of an iron-clad below the water-line, and the vessel readily sunk. He has progressed far enough in his experi ments to believe that success is as sured. Heavy cannon balls have been thrown a distance of," nearly 290 feet under water by his invention, and when it is perfected he expects to be able to send destructive bombs many times that distance. The experiments at Tybee have been made with a small cannon, placed on the beach ready to fire. When the cannon was completely submerged, a lanyard reaching to the shore was pulled and the cannon discharged. After the tide had gone down the pro jectile was. hunted up and the distance it had gone under the water measured. A system of valves prevents the water from entering the gun after the dis charge. The experiments will be con tinued until the invention is perfected. The attention of the government will be drawn to it if what is hoped for it is achieved. "A boat like the Katahdin, which is expected to ram a vessel of the enemy, could be armed with one of these guns below the water-line," 6aid Mr. Galla gher in discussing his invention. "It could be aimed and fired by the officer on deck by electricity. The projectile, loaded with gun-cotton or other high explosive, striking the enemy's ship below the water-line, would do such damage as to sink it in a short time. This would accomplish what is desired without subjecting the Katahdin to the dangers encountered in ramming. I believe the plana I have worked out will do the work effectively at quite long range when they are fully per fected." Savannah News. Baseball Yesterday.

The war department officials and clerks at Washington are kept busy answering the thousands of inquiries that come to them from all parts of the country concerning friends and relatives in service. Some of these quiries are amusing. An anxious woman out in Kansas telegraphed the war department asking if Pony Lee and Jim Langley had been killed at Santiago. Their names were not among the list of the dead, and a mes sage containing this information was sent to the inquirer. Then another telegram from the same person was re ceived by Secretary Alger. It read: "Please look up Pony Lee and Jim Langlej at Santiago and tell them to wright right away." Coney Island has a new device to separate the nicaels from the multi tude. It is a variation of the old-time maze. Wire netting is set up to form little avenues, with doors here and there. The amusement consists in de liberately losing yourself in the maze and then trying to find your way out. It is by no means a selfish pastime, for, inasmuch as the netting affords a clear view right through, the efforts of the prisoners to escape furnishes amuse ment for the outsiders. Blanco's Scanty Store in Havana Exhausted BREAD RIOTS ALREADY BEGUN Two Bakers Killed Washington Offi cials Blame Qen. Shafter Ugly Reports from Santiago. By Wire to Thb Telegram. Key West. July 29 "-Hunger is claim ing many victims among all classes in Havana.

GENERAL SHAFTER BLAMED. Washington, July 29 The war de partment continues to receive infor mation as to the care and management of the wounded at Santiago. It is learned on the be9t authority that there were only two ambulances in theentire army for the transportation of the wounded to the hospitals. It is repor ted that when the wounded arrived they were stretched on the bare ground and for some there was no pro tection, whatever, made from the trop ical heat, and they remained forhours awaiting attention. Various officials blame Gen. Shafter for this condition of affairs. A DESPERADO'S TRIAL. Five Capital Cases In Jail and Two in the Woods. Marion, July 2H The trial of the noted mountain desperado, George McCu'rry. which has been in progress at Burn8ville for one week, ended yes terday in his acquittal.

He was on trial last court at Burnsville for the burning, which ended then in a mis trail The majority of the people of Yancey county think it a bad affair to have McCurry at large. Sid Patterson is the man who killed Jerome McCurry, brother of George, last Ootober, and bad blood has ex isted between them for some time. Burnsville now has about five capi tal cases in hor jail and two in the woods. Tom Belew, who killed his wife in Yancey county, sometime ago, has been captured in Texas and an officer loaded with requisition papers has been sent after him. Charlotte Obser ver special.

ENGLAND'S FLEET WITH US. "A Peril to the United States Van ishes." London, July 29 The Daily Mail says this morning: "With the remarkable speech of United States Senator Davis, of St. Paul, two people have buried the past. Senator Davis' speech is a final and complete answer to the speech of Mr. Chamberlain at Birmingham. "England has no need to go whin ing for an alliance. For some years until her navy has been strengthened the over-sea possessions of America must be more or less on sufferance, but, with the certainty that the British fleet is on this side of our kinsmen, all peril to the United States vanishes."
