GENERAL HERNANDEZ CAPTURED Kingston, Jamaica, May 22 The Cuuard line steamer Carinthia, which stranded May 16 off Pointe a Gravois, on the southern shore of' Haiti, thirty two miles to the west of the port of Aux Cayes, was bound to Cant Town from New Orleans, with 1,400 mules on board, consigned to the imperial government in Africa. The was a fine ship, classed Al at Lloyds, with a net tonnage of 3,623. and was built In 1895. The weather was rainy, and it was very dark. There are two points on the promontory on which she struck.

She passed the first one all right, and the captain thought he had cleared the promontory altogether In the darkness, however, the Carinthia crashed into a rocky shoal off Pointe a Gravois. One of her officers pluckily jumped into the rough and swarm to the shore. He procured a horse and pushed on through rivers and over the rough country to Aux Cayes. He reached Aux Cayes late on Wednesday night and found there the Hamburg American liner Valencia. The coast was too dangerous to warrant a departure for Pointe a Gravois la the darkness, but with the first streak of dawn on Thursday the Valencia was under wav for the scene of the wreck.

She reached the Carinthia about 9 A. M. and at once endeavored to haul her off. But the Cunarder would not move. All that was possible was done by the Valencia during Thursday and Friday, but at noon of Friday all hope of getting her off was abandoned.

Soundings made seem to indicate that her bottom is pierced by coral reefs forward. The Valencia left the scene of the wreck on Friday evening for Kingston, Jamaica, where she arrived on the 19th. The mules cost the British government OBITUARY. The Rev. Dr.

May 29 Justice Brewer yesterday handed down the opinion of the Supreme Court in the somewhat celebrated insurance case brought by the executor of Guy C. Phin ney of the State of Washington against the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York to recover upon a policy of insurance upon his life amounting to $100,000. Phinney had paid the first premium upon his policy and had failed to pay the second and third premiums, dying soon after the third premium was due. On the trial the contention was made that the state statute of New York requiring specific notice to the insured of the date when a premium is due and the place where it could be paid was applicable. The Circuit Court ruled in accordance with this contention and the jury brought in a verdict against the insurance company for $97,000.

The Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the case for want of jurisdiction. The Supreme Court declined to decide the question of the applicability of the New York insurance laws to the case, but held that the Court of Appeals had jurisdiction. A new trial was ordered. The decision was in the interest of the insurance company. Several other insurance cases were decided by Justice Brewer on the same ground.

Justice McKenua delivered the opinion of the court in two insurance cases. In one of these, that of the New York Life Insurance Company vs. Fannie Cravens, executrix, the case turned upon the question whether the laws of Missouri or those of New York were applicable, the Insured residing In Missouri. The case came to this court from the Supreme Court ot Missouri, where the decision was favorable to the laws and to the plaintiff. The opinion handed down to day affirmed this decision.

Another case was that of Louisa Banholzer vs. the New York Life Insurance Company, the Insured residing in Minnesota. The contention in this case was that no notice was received such as the laws of New York require, but the objection was overruled in the trial court and to day's opinion afllrnied that ruling. The decision was thus favorable to the insurance company.

R. COMMANDER DEAD Minneapolis, May 29 Judge John P. ago. He bad been tor tniriy umu years a Columbia, S. May 29 Professor Garrett P.

Serviss of the Brooklyn Astronomical Association and Charles Mehnke, Otis Wattles and J. G. Levison ot Brooklyn witnessed the eclipse at Newberry yesterday. Professor Serviss is convinces that the corona must be nearer to the earth than the sun itself, as it required an entirely different focus. He also noted hitherto unexpected conditions in the atmosphere at the occurrence of totality.

Both parties had specially constructed cameras, which worked successfully. The corona exhibited four distinct rays. Professon Serviss' calculation is that one of these was 4,000,000 miles long and extended to Mercury. Tii a statement made by Mr. Serviss, he said: "There were one or two things very difficult to explain and they will require careful comparison of all observations taken.

While the moon was moving over the sun before tho total obscuration was reached I observed there was a certain lighting of the air; after It had become perceptible the darkness came, and then it was repeated. "This was so surprising that I would have rejected it as an illusion, but afterward Professor Sligh of Newberry College and others who took observations a mile away stated they had observed similar obstructions in the light. It was as if light clouds had passed over the sun. yet there were no clouds whatever. It Is too soon to say what the cause of this phenomenon was.

"One o( the observations made indicates that the telescopic and photographic focus for the corona is not the same as for the sun itself. The Instrument, which was in focus for the sun, did not show for the corona at all. It was not until the eye piece hart been removed that the corona came into view with the new focus. This is another curious phenomenon. "One explanation of it Is that the corona ts nearer to the earth than the sun is.

But this is one of the things that must be explained Inter. No attempt was made by our party to look for an extra, Mercurial planet, and nothing of that kind was seen. "The corona was a very beautiful and extensive one, and both Venus and Mercury were plainly seen with the naked eye. Tho corona showed four principal rays, two on each side, one of these extending at least as far as Mercury. The shadow hands were unexpectedly faint and indistinct.

Their movement was from the southwest." Barnesvllle, May 2S Regarding the work of the government expedition during tho sun's eclipse, Professor S. J. Brown, astronomical director of the Naval Observatory at Washington, to tlay gavo out a statement in which he says: "All of the preparations were ready for tho eclipse at the time of its occurrence, and the programme of tho obsorvers wae carried out in accordance with the carefully prepared plans. The visual work of the corona consisted of naked eye. and telescopic drawings, which were in substantial agreement as to the prlncipnl features of the corona.

"A remarkably good one for its careful representation ofc tho details of the corona was made with chalk on dark blue paper by Professor Otis Ashniore of Savannah, who was a member of tho government expedition.

The United States Circuit Court issued an order restraining the local Board of and United States Surgeon Kinyoun from Inoculating Chinese and restraining them from leaving the city. The state Board of Health then passed an order asking the city Board of Health to quarantine the Chinese district. At a meeting of tho city board called for the purpose of declaring an effective quarantine the question was raised whether or not the order of the United States court would not prevent the board from declaring a quarantine.

A reading of the order convinced the board that it was very sweeping in its effect, and it was feared that to declare a quarantine would bring tho board in contempt. After discussing the subject until midnight the matter was deferred. Colorado Establishes Quarantine.
