Wasiuxutox, .luly '.'7.Tlio sailing of the United States cruiser Hennington from La Llliertad, Salvador, Wednesday for San Francisco, was a carefully guarded secret In the state und navy department. Secretary Herliert yesterday afternoon said that It wiii true that he had been compelled to order the vessel homo, but he had notified the consul ut Snlvador that the status of the four refugees on board the vessel was in no way altered, as the Unite I States had not yet determined whether they should be surrendered or not. It was understood that the question was considered at tho cabinet meeting Tuesday, when Secretary Herbert explained that considerable illness had occurred on the Heiinington; that her surgeon had been prostrated with malarial fever, and had been unable to attend others who wore ill, and as the repairs to the Charleston would not enable that vessel to relieve the Heiinington until the second week in August, it seemed necessary to bring the ship away from the tropical coast at once. The Henniiigton hiicl been at 1 Liltortad since May 21, and during her two months' stay there had not been free from illness aboard a single day. Iu all that time the Salvadorians had been unable to form a stable governj ment which could lo recognized by the ! United States. The cabinet decided that the Hen niugton should be brought home at once, and that (Jen. Ezotu and the other refugees could be transferred to the Charleston at San Francisco, and inmieclintelv sent back to La Libertad to be delivered to the local authorities us soon as proper judicial proceed ing.s against them could bo assured. The ehcme of sending the refugees back, it is thought, will depend en tirelv upon the action of any Unitei States bulge iu case (Jen. K.eta and his companions, on the arrival of tho Hennington at San Diego or San Fran cisco, apply for a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that they are restraineil on board the ship against their will, no charge being preferred against them. In the opinion of competent lawyers in the state and navy departments, the United States could not resist such an application, and any court, would re lease the men. The departure of the Hennington for home is therefore looked upon as the end of a situation which lias been extremely embarrass inir to the United States for over a month. AN INCIPIENT RIOT.

A mob which stood back of the strikers began to fire bullets recklessly towardsthc building and a doon wore exchanged before the alarm was responded to by the police from the Thirty-tifth-strect station.

Textile industries have Wen norceptibly stimulated according to iK alcrs, by disagreements which many suppose may prevent change of thu taritr. and there has lieen mote bin .ng of cotton goods, with slightly higWr prices for a few, notwithstanding tlie closing of some important mills.

At Philadelphia the tone improves and prices are stendy, but foundry business is much depressed, anil sharp competition prevents advance in finished products.
