since his injuries.
Italian was 11) years of age, and was
born in Kichinond, where his parents
Tcside. Ilia father and mother were at
his bedside 'Wheu he died. It was in
tho foot hall game between elevens
from tho Gpgrgetown University, and
the Columbia Atftiyti*-' Club on Thanks
giving day, Nov. -&> last 'that young
Bahan received the Injuries which re
sulted iu his death. The play througli
^ out was characteristic of rough and
V harsh excliauges, and a number of men
on both sides were more or less Injured
and bruise*!. Young Italian was p.uy
intf liulf baek for Georgetown, and he
met with hits mishap in the middle of
the first half. Kalian's play was ti in
terfere with liCete while Mnhoney had
the ball, and this he was doing to pen,
feetlon. Itahen made a rush and us he
did so he received a blow from a Colum
bia ?adherent, 'which felled liiiu to the
grolind. Before ho could recover from
tho shock and regain, his feet he was
trampled upon l?y the excited play ens
aiKl received the full force of numerous
kicks. In the struggle, Muhouey had
J >an ankle sprained, but he stuck mau
J " fully to hia post and was laid up for
Kcvei'al days afterwards. Bnhen was
carried from the field to the uuivensity,
whence lie "was afterwards removed to
the Emergency Hospital.
On examination It was found that the
fourth vertebrae was. shattered, and as
?a result the entire 'body below that joint
became paralyzed There were several
bad bruises on sovera4 parts of his body,
and his scalp was torn in several places.
After being in tho hospital for some
days, the operation of laiuinactomy was
performed with Much success that the pa
ralysis was partly removed. Ever since
that memorable thanksgiving, the youngk
student has been bedridden, but he with
stood his ]?osition with commendable for
titude^ and Christian resignation. IJi.s
splendid physical condition served to pro
long his life, but he slowly faded arway?
Everything that medical science could

two years longer to complete his course.
'I lie ex-Attorney General K* not infer

this morning the tele*raui from Itoston
containing the interview with Senator
Darling touching the treatment accorded
Tea mob, the colored member of the Mas
sachusetts legislative committee, who
were received at the Executive Mansion,
ho stfid: "Senator Darling, I cannot
think, made the statement contained in
the telegram. I never had the slightest
intimation from a human being that a
colored man was In the party. I tn.ked
with no one after Wednesday, when a
clerk from tfoo railroad office came to me
with a message from Ool. Roykln that a
business committee of the Massachusetts
Legislature would arrive in Richmond
the next evening from the South, and
they would be glad to call on me. I re
plied: "Very well: 1 will be triad to re
ceive them. I think It would be more
courteous to receive them at the tnan#!on
than in my office, and will fix 2 o'clock
Friday as the hour.* ?
"I had no further communication with
any one on the subject, excent T was
informed the committee had arrived. A
little before 2 o'clock on Friday T weifl
from my office to the mansion, my no

Soon a carriage drove up ?nd stopped,
but no one trot out. T-ate^ three otln t
carriages arrived. The first catT'aire

oeemvants alirlit. Pretty soon Mr. Olieg
terman notified me that the comml'ttee
was In the par'nr. Tt went down with
'him. and as we entered the parlor we
wprt> Introduced to each member of the
committee, wln'fine up with the eolnr-W
member. Not until T renewed Teani?h did
T know, nor had T the slightest idea. that
one of the committee was a colored man.
and T was ereatly surprised and embar
rassed. bnt T concealed my embarrass

In my official capacity. and the commit

and T could not do otherwise than carry
out the program.
"Liirht refreshments had been pr^nTed

WOifld come. After the partv trot into

that as Tea mob was one of the commit

courtesy to Senator Darliinr and the
other gentlennen remained. and conversed
with them until they left the parlor.
o "Senator Daring's statement that T
told him that 1 knew Teamoh was in
the party is absolutely untrue, ami 1

told him any such thing he would cer
tainly not have spoken apologetically of
Teamoh's j?r?>?enee at the mansion or
have expressed himself as he did to me
at the penitentiary, and on our drjvo.
?lie and the other gentlemen In t ho car

stated that they had made every effort
to shuffle him off. but he would go back
with them. . . .

he was lost.
"As the Governor said In the Inter

was Informed by several white member*
of the committee that Teamoh had gone

Tin* Fiend Una V V t h fJnnrt
I'olnt*. Sii>* n ITottfnn Writer, ,
TJ'-nl'y, there has heen too mnch' said
In dispraise of the encore fiend, and It Is
h'trli time that a word or two were
spoken in bis favor, for he is by no
means the ntterly useless nhfl nnlovab'e
creature that oomo harsh critics wou'd
have us believe. The encore fiend, In
deed. lins many praiseworthy traits, and
of his usefulness there can be no doubt
in fhe mind* of those w^>o will view bin
performance dl?pnssionateIy and wt'h an
eye to discover the benefactions which
flow from his unselfish effort*. for he Is
distinctly altruistic In his ntentions. and
in the methods by which he carries them
Into effect.
Tie In by no means the hoe that hln
frank and artless manner would seem
to declare him. On the contrary, he ln
bors for others and for all as well1 as for
himself. TTe is not intent only npon get
in g n ful! retnrn for his monev. but he
Is bound that all sha'l receive their
money's worth also. Moreover, he In
forms others by his liberal and energetic
apn'ause what i#> worthv of their nppro
bation. and. upon the principle that there
cannot be too much of a good thing, he
insists that they shall hnve as much as
nossible of what his superior taste con
ceives they should admire.
And the encore fiend thinks not on'y
of the welfare of the people at the
theatre, -but of others who are not there
By lengthening the performance nil til
after 11 o'clock he prevents the hlhu
lourfy Incline from visiting the gilded
?aloon before wendine their way tome
ward. and thus he dors a ?rood thlilg for
the cause of temperance. Again, by de
laying the close of the performance he
brings money to the pnrse of the hcrdic
driver who la employed to bury ?ubm<^
banites to the train they cannot reach
In time by walking, and he helne the
hotels likewise. Inaamueh as many who
cannot reach their homes are obliged to

Good for Mr. Whitney^
The Hon. William C. Whitney, ex-Bec
retary of the Navy,: speaks out like a
true American on the subject of the Al
llanca affair. "It was," says Mr. Whit
ney, "done with deliberation and full
knowledge of the character of tho act."
He continues:
No person In command of any war ves
sel In the world would be Ignorant that
firing upon a merchant vess l of an
other power on the high seas In lime of
peace would violate the law of nations.
There Isn't a subordinate offloer of any
man-of-war In tho world who hasn't
been sufficiently Instructed to know lhat.
It Is therefore a case of willful Insult to
the American flag and people. i do
not recall so wanton an outrage as hap
pening to any first class power In fifty
years." An apology scarcely wipes out
such an affront.
This utterance reflects the sentiments
of every patriotic American citizen. The
only way that Spain Can break the force
o / the wholesale condemnation vlhlted
/Upon her phe hae already adopted, nanvw
ly, to set up the claim that the Amerl
murchantman when signaled liolst' d
the KrltlBh flag. Thl? claim is so ridic
ulous as to carry with Its own refuta
tion. Capt. Crossman well says that no
Spanish gunboat would dare fire on the
British flag. The. plain InferAfo* Is fhat
the American flag does not command the
samo respect from foreigners, and this
Is a fact which must be admitted to our
shame.
This Incident furnishes a splendid op
portunity for this Government to recover
lost prestige by requiring Spain to make
a full and ample reparation, and do It at
once. Too much time has already l>een
?lost In allowing these Spaniards to coo*
up a manifestly untruthful story such *s
has ber?n sent out as coming from the
commander of the Conde de Venadlto. ?

Washington. 1*. 0., March 24 Senor
I Km 10. do Mnruaga, the minister of
Spain t?> the Tinted States. this morning
received an official notification from the
l>uke of Tetun, Minister of Foreign
A fTa i ra. of the formation ?? f the Spanish
on bluet as announced in last night's
dispatches. The now ministry conies into
power with the experience of previous
terms in office. as it Is the same minis
try, wdth one exception, that served
under Oanovas before, and which went
out of power twenty-eiirht months a*<>.
The one new in em her is Senor Snstolla
nos. Minister for rhe Colonies, (\itiovns
first resiirned in 1H7.S on account of the
Caroline Inlands incident. It was popn
larly believed at that time that Prince
Hismarek. the (Jerman Chancellor. In
tended taklnir noR?"?cton of the
Inlands, a possession In the- YSeiflo
Ocean., in connection with which tin
'United Slates subsequently had sonn
missionary trouble, which Spain snlis
fuotorilv adjusted n ft?-r comndornble dc
'av. Without wnitlnir to ascertain the
accuracy ">f the report shout Herman
airerrf^sipn, n Snnnlsh m^b attached the
Herman legation In M adr'd and tore
down its escutcheon nnd offered other
'lidiirnitifs. This incident near'y n'nn"ed
Snain into \?*ar with flcrmanv. Canovas
and his cabinet rflsiarned and th? affair
was subseonontly patched up. His see- ,
ond ren|vrjint|on occurred twenty -eight
mnnilts' n^rt, when on n ntiest'on if na
tional policy he found bin oMt party
In the Cortes divided, and resigned In
consequence, being succeeded by Sa
^nsta.
If reports received bore from smiri'es
outside the Snanish legation are to be
rolled upon. the chanire cf ministrv a?
? his time is a serious matter for Snain.
The annual hudeet enrrvlntr the appro
nriations for the ?xpendlt'nros of the
Hovornmont has bee * continued |n force
for three years, but expires with the
last dav of .Tunc next The new budget
at the time the Sairasta ilnistry rcuisrn
ed was in process of exnir'nation in the
Snanish lcirisdativo body a'ld had been
nartiallv voted upon. No action had
Keen taken looklntr to the continuance
of last year's budeef through another""
vear a determination beimr ex prised
that a new budget should be voted.
The probabilities! seem to be that
Canovas will auk for a royal decree
dissolving the chambers and ordering a
new e'eetion. Should this he done, the
new chambers cftuld not be convened
ondcr the Spanish constitution until the
tth'.of Jolv next, and the appropriation*
vonld a'l lapse on the 1st of that
month. During the interegrtim thus en
suing and nntil the new chamber could
nass the hudeet there "would be no au
thority to collect ts! xes, except through
the arbitrary and danpr?>mn< t?n>wcr of
the Council of State, which since* t+fe
days of Charles the First, of TCmrland
has frequently been an Incentive to
revolution .
As to the course which Mr. Marnaum.
the Spanish minister. Will take In view
?f this liryne orlpls some days de'av will
nrobably occur before anything definite
ls decided upon. It is authoritatively
"*Tenled that he has not resigned since
? he formation of 1he new cabinet, nnd
is believed that he wiU wait until
Tuesday or Wednesday of this week and
learn the vfi?0ies of "Premier Cangyns
before committing himself. If the pres
ent ministry decide acainst the attemn'/
to suspend the constitution rfnd try the
(flooding journalists by a court martial
it Would be personally, more easy for
Mr. Mnruaga to remain-. Should the
ministry request that lie remain at his
nos^ he -would he compelled to do so. Ai
ditromat. like a soldier, has no altera#
tlve but to obey order*, although It la
permlssable in the Spanish service ' for
a minister to ask to be r?dievod and
placed on "wfriting orders? when he
finds himself not in sympatic with the
party in poster.
The unsettled condition of affairs in
Oiil?s, with which Mr. Murnaga^. Is
thoroughly familiar from his lr^K^n*
vice at this point, would make ,iils res
. tarnation a serious embarrassment to
the Canovan cabinet unless a suitable
successor could b?? Immediately; found .
ITnder any circiimstarce* it w^uld l?e
several weeks at the earliest before his
succersor could reach here from Ruronc,
vithich will no doubt require Mr. Mn

been transferred the men clambered up
the yacht's side, and alio ? teamed away

They dug into the sand, and uuearthed a
