and it is apparent that an important strategic movement 1s being planned.Commodore Watson arrived ou the gunboat Dolphin from the blockading fleet; orders came thick and fast from {Washington and the naval station authorities were instructed to make quick preparations to coal the big ships.It is thought that there will be no occasion to begin coaling before Tuesday or Wednesday although it would not be surprising were the work to begin immediately.The ships already in the harbor have been ordered to get up steam without delay but the officers say they are ignorant of what this may indicate.The announcement from the north of the comn- ing of the flying squadron strengthens the theory held herc that a united move of some kind is contemplated.The chief factor in the situation is the whereabouts of the Spanish fleet, understood to be off the Venezuelan coast, It is conceded by naval men that were Cervera\u2019s squadron to meet the detached blockade off Cuba while Admiral Sampson\u2019s ships were coating here a disastrous blow might be inflicted and it is believed the plan now under consideration is to obiviate any such possibility.Extraordinary precautions are being taken for the protection of Key West harbor although the rumor lately circulated a | here that the Spanish fleet is heading this way 1s scouted by the officials, HARVARD STAYS IN PORT.As the Vessel is Disabled France Refused to Comply With the Re quest Made by Spain.Washington, May 15.\u2014Spain has protested to France against the Harvard being allowed to remain in Martinique ports te mak repairs.France replied upholding the right of the Harvard.Washington, D.C., May 15.\u2014Official information reached here that the Spanish Government had filed a protest at the Foreign Office in Paris against the perms- sion given by the French authorities at Martiniave to the United States auxiliary cruiser Harvard to remain in the harvor of St.Pierre, Martinique, for seven days to make mecessary repairs.The French Government has taken speedy action on the protest, and insists that the United States cruiser, being disabled, has a fuit right to remain seven days or such time as may be necessary to complete her repai>s, -and that in the- meantime no steps will be taken to force her to leave the French port.The Spanish protest is an important develcpment in the critical naval situation in the West Indies, as it makes clear for the first time the plans of the Spanish admiral to have the Harvard forced out of the harbor at Martinique and then to capture her by his swift cruisers and destrcy er.It is impossible for the Spanish warships to attack her while she is inside the barbor, as international law forbids such an attack in a neutral harbor.The most the Spanish admiral can do is to wait outside the harbor in hopes of taking the Harvard as she leaves.But a wait ot seven days would be futile, as other American ships can go to the relief of the Harvard before that time.J European Intervention.ew York, May 16.\u2014A cable to the orld from Berlin says: An evidently in- gpired editorial in the Post treating of the Question of European intervention in the American-Spanish war.Says: \u201cThe time for a decision upon the question is rapidly drawing nearer.If the powers eventually intervene it will only be on condition that the Spaniards shall remain loyal to the reigning dynasty.\u201cIf they show a disposition to change the Government and place thmeselves under the control of the Republicans or of riutinous generals they need not reckon on the sympathy of the monarchial powers.\u2019 A Good Move by Sagasta.London, May 16\u2014The Madrid correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says :-\u2014 His prompt action in offering concessions to the Philippine insurgents is considered the best move Senor Sagasta has yet made., Captain-General Augusti mwires that :- \u201cAdmiral Dewey appears to anticipate {he co-cperation of the natives within the next few days, but no new insurgent movement 1s noticeable.\u201d \u2014 REPLY TO SENOR DU BOSC \u2014\u2014\u2014 Senor Tejada, a Member of the Cuban Junta, Spoke in Toronto on Saturday Evening.Toronto, May 16 \u2014(Special.)\u2014Apparent- ly very little interest is taken here in the Cuban side of the present struggle, for Senor Tejada, a member of the Cuban Junta, who lectures on Saturday night in answer to the statements of Senor Du Bosc, setting forth the Spanish case, met with a cold reception from the small audience present.Senor\u2019 Tejada denied most of Du Bosc's statements, sketched the oppression of the Cubans, cited the case of his own, father, chained to a Spanish ship till he became \u2018a little wreck,\u201d and pictured Spain, not as a dying, but a8 a dead nation, whose funeral oration he was helping to preach.The fight of 70,000,000, he said, against 17,500,000 seemed unjust to Du Bosc, whose Spanish conception of justice was associated with gags and torture\u2014the government with cruelty, power, powder and shot.Rev.C.O.Johnston, in moving a vote of thanks to the lecturer, made some personal reflections on Senor Du Bose, whom he spoke of as \u201ca fellow who had come over here, and on the very first Sunday of his stay had broken our Sabbath laws by playing golf.\u201d Mf.E.S.Cox rose to protest that the remark was in bad taste, and that Senor Du Bose, not having the same conception of the Sabbath as the people here, had no intention of infringing any custom or outraging any sentiment.CHAMBERLAIN HAS CAUSED MUCH TALK His Speech of Friday Night Is the Subject of a Great Deal of Consideration, À \u2014\u2014\u2014 THE SPANISH VIEW OF IT Other Powers Will Give Her Support if England Backs the United States.THERE IS TALK OF INTERTENTION \u2014\u2014 A Berlin Paper Publishes an Inspired Article Declaring that Action Should Soon Be Taken, \u2014_\u2014\u2014 J London, May 16\u2014The Daily Chronicle\u2019s Madrid special says: \u201cGreat indignation Was arouseed here by Chamberlain's speech.The Liberal compares the British (Colonial Secretary to Lord Beaconsfield, and foretells a European outburst against England.\u201cIf the suggested alliance is concluded the universal ill-will would be similar to that manifested against England after the Jameson raid.Such an alliance would, however, be the greatest possible blessing to Spain, as it would bring her plenty of support.The Imparcial says Spain could rot stand against the British strain, but can throw it off the line.The Journal aiso foretells à general alliance against the insatiable ambition of Great Britain.The cheers raised for Spain by the French cruiser Admiral Rigault, are a sign of this.Cuba and other points can be utilized to make Gibraltar helpless.\u201d Pleased in Washington.Washington, D.C., May 16 \u2014Advocates of a pan-angiican alliance or understanding are delighted with the reports of the speech delivered in Birmingham, Eng., by Joseph Chamberlain, Britisn Secretary or State for the Colonies.Mr.Chamberlain is regarded here as one of the most important tactors in English political life.He has shown that, with the exception perhaps of Lord Salisbury himself, he is the most important member ot the present British Cabinet.He has already accomplished much in the direction of welding the mother country and the colonies together in a worldwide empire, ready to act together for defence and ag gression in time of peril, and now he proposes to go further, and in a public speech sends a message of sympathy and fellowship across the ocean to the United States in her war with Spain.Would Be on Our Side.While he says nothing of the kind in words, in effect he virtually announces to all Continental Europe, that any combination of Continental Powers against the United States would find Great Britain on the side of this country, and the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack waving together over an Anglo-Saxon alliance.Public men here appreciate the friendly sentiments of the English people and the I'nglish Government at this time.It is appreciated all the more for the reason that other European countries, notably France, Germany and Austria, have given evidence of leaning toward Spain, while England alone has seemed to be able to appreciate the humanitarian motives of this country in intervening to stop the cruel rule of Spain in Cuba.Will Have a Salutary Effect.The effect such a speech as that of Mr.Chamberlain will have on European governments.it is believed, will be a salutary and will tend to restrain any government that might have been leaning toward a policy of opposition to the United States in the war with Spain.Alliance between the United States and Great Britain would be looked upon with disfavor by every nation in Europe.Such an alliance would probably be extended so as to include Japan, and these three nations, working in harmony and along the same lines, would be able to dominate all the seas and rapidly take to themselves the lion\u2019s share of the world\u2019s commerce.Mr.Chamberlain's speech is looked upon as a notice to Continental Europe that it can in no way accelerate the formatjon of such an alliance so effectually as bv combining with Spain against the United States.BRITISH STEAMER SUNK.Collided With the Norwegian Vessel Klondike and a Portion of the Crew Drowned.Liverpool, May 16.\u2014The Norwegian steamer Klondike, from Antwerp, was damaged.The captain of the Klondike reports that on Saturday night, off Point Lynas, on the northern coast of Wales, his vessel was in collision with the British steamer Benholm, bound for Cardiff.The captain further says that the Ben- holm was so badly damaged that she soon foundered, and that twelve of her crew, including the master, went down with her.Nine of those on board the Ben- holm were rescued and brought to Liverpool by the Klondike.The British steamer Benholm was built at Stockton in 1887.She was 236 feet long, had a beam of 333 feet, and was 16.1 feet deep.She was owned by the Benholm Steamship Company, of Liverpool.THE LIVING AND DYING NATIONS.Following is the text of Lord § Salisbury\u2019s now famous reference to living and dying nations: the world as the living and the dying.On\u2019 one side you have great countries of enormous power growing in power every year, growing Th wealth, growing in dominion, growing in the perfection of their organization.Railways have given to them the power to concentrate upon any one point the whole military force of their population and to assemble armies of a magnitude and power never dreamt of in the generations that have gone by.Science has placed in the hands of these ar- mies weapons ever growing in their effi- docked here to-day with her bows badly.You may roughly divide the nations of | MONTREAL.MONDAY, MAY 16, 1898.cacy of destruction, and, therefore, adding to the powur\u2014fearfully to the power\u2014oï those who have the opportunity of using them.By the side of these splendid or | ganizations, of which nothing seems to diminish tke forces and which present rival | ciims which the future may be able by a bloody arbitrament® to adjust\u2014by the side of these there are a number of communities which I can only describe as dying, though the epithet applies to them of | course with very different degrees and with | a very different amount of certain applic- | ation.They are mainly communities that are not Christian, but I regret to say that 1s not exclusively the case, and in these States disorganization and decay are advancing almost as fast as concentration and increasing power are advancing in the living nations beside them.Decade after decade they are weaker, poorer, and less provided with leading men or institu-, tions in which they can trust, apparently | drawing nearer and nearer to their fate and yet clinging with strange tenacity to the life which they have got.In them misgovernment is not only not cured but 1s constantly on the increase.The society, and official society, the Administration, is.a mass of corruption, So that there is no! firm ground on which any hope of reform | or restoration could be based, and in their various degrees they are presenting a terrible picture to the more enlightened por- | tion of the world\u2014a picture which, unfor- | tunately, the increase in the means of our | information and communication draws with | darker and more conspicuous lineaments ! in the face of all nations, appealing to their | feelings as well as to their interests, cal-! ling upon them to bring forward a remedy.How long this state of things is likely to go on, of course, I do not attempt to prophecy.All T can indicate is that the pro- | cess is proceeding, that the weak States are! becoming weaker and the strong states are becoming stronger.It meeds no specialty of prophecy to point out to you what the inevitable result of that combined process must be.For one reason or for another \u2014from the necessities of politices or under the pretence of philanthropy\u2014the living nations will gradually encroach on the territory of the dying, and the seeds and causes of conflict amongst the civilized nations will speedily appear.Of course, it is not to he supposed that any one nation of the living nations will be allowed to have the profitable monopoly of curing or cutting up these unfortunate patients (laughter), and the controversy is as to who shall have the privilege of doing so, and in what measure he shall do it.These things may introduce causes of fatal difference between the great mations whose great armies are threatening each other.These are the dangers, T think, which threaten us in the period that is coming on.It is a period that will tax our resolution, our tenacity, and our imperial in- stinets to the utmost, Undoubtedly we shall not allow England to be at a disadvantage in any re-arrangement that may take place.(Cheers).On the other hand we shall not be jealous if desolation and sterility are removed hv the agerandise- ment of a rival in regions to which our arms cannot extend.SPANISH CABINET Pa.US MS RESGHED, Sagasta Will Have to Call on a Number of New Men, It is Believed That the War Will be Prosecuted With all the Vigor Possible.re = » Madrid, May 15.\u2014All

Trocps.Key West, Fla., May 16.\u2014The Government tug Osceola reported this morning that while cruising along the Cuban coast with the torpedo boat Ericsson, on Friday afternoon, they saw a large body oi Spanish soldiers patrolling the shore about eight miles west of Havana.Both boats sent in a fusilade of shots, which scattered the troops.It is not known if any of the soldiers were killed.The Spaniards did not return the fire.The United States Government tug Uncas has returned here from off Havana, without the two Am- \u20acrican newspaper correspondents, said to be Charles Thrall and Hayden Jones, captured by the Spaniards and imprisoned in ¥ort Cabanas, whose release the com- marder of the Uneas attempted to consummate on the basis of exchanging them for Spanish prisoners held in the United States.Neither Captain Brainerd, of the Uncas, nor any other person on board will give details of the result of the expedition until the official report on the subject has been made to Commodore Remy.No Coal for Belligerents.St.Thomas, Danish, West Indies May by the governor of the Island of St.Thomas, prohibits the delivery of coal to the warships of the belligerant powers, without the previous permission of the governor, who will determine the amount each vessel can receive, and who will supervise its delivery.The British steamer Twekenham, which arrived here yesterday from Scotland with a cargo of coal, for Porto Rico, and which awaited orders here, has cleared.Destina- \u2018tion unknown.The United States auxiliary cruiser Vale called here for orders at five o'clock yesterday afternoon, HOSPITAL CORPS ORDERED FORWARD.This is Taken as an Indication That There is Some Stern Work Ahead.Key West, May 16.\u2014It looks like stern business when the hospital corps is sent to the front.The first of those wlio will attend the wWounded on board ship reached Key West on Wednesday last on the United States ambulance ship Solace, The Solace has a mission to fulti before caring for the wounded, and that it is to cross the Viorida Strait and visit euch of the warships of the blockading feet.Among the sick of the blockaders the delicacies provided by the colonial dames will be distributed, or else they will be stored on the various ships for future use.The ambulance ship has been bountifully supplied by the women of America with the good things that are generally lacking at sea and in the field.Perhaps no ship of the war will be the scene of so much concern as the Solace, her white sides and her Red Cross flag will mark her to friend and foe.She is staunch and fast, and two hundred or more wounded sailors can be accommodated.While the battle rages the Solace will occupy a position similar to that of the hospital tents ashore, and Times from Madrid confirms the official denial at the Spanish capital that the Cabinet changes are connected with a, peace movement.The Times correspondent says: \u201cThe conclusion to be drawn from the reorganization that they are seeking a peaceable solution of the question Las for the moment been abandoned, and the war will be prosecuted vigorously.| \u201cThere was a prolonged Cabinet council this afternoon, dealing with the crisis, and several points were practically settled.Se- ror Sagasta, though weak in health, remains president of the Council of Ministers, because the Liberals are in a majority in the chamber, and it would be inconvenient to have a cabinet chief, however distinguished, who is mot chief ot the Liberal party.\u201cFour Ministers, Senors Gullon, Ber- mejo, Moret and Xiquena, will retire, pari- ly for personal reasons and partly because after the battle her boats will be sent to the ships and the wounded\u201c will be removed.Then, so soon as possible, she will carry her patients to the hospitals at some port of safety.The Solace is divided into wards, with bunks, narrow, but separated from the others by passage ways.There are 92 bunks.The operating room is finely equipped with surgical instruments, and there is a tiled bathroom with an appliance for heating or cooling the water; a complete peraphernalia for treating wounds and a convalescing room, to be the basking place of those who are not so seriously wounded as to be inmates of the wards.Besides a staff of doctors there are eight nurses from the Bellevue School, on board the hospital shin.and three apothecaries have been provided.~ SENOR POLO AND HIS of differences on important policies.Senor Sagasta will choose the strongest Liberals he can find, but several of the strongest, notably Senor Gamaza, have intimated that they will not take office at present, \u201cIt is hoped and expected that General Correa, who has valuable qualifications for his present post, will remain.\u201d \u2018Madrid, May 15.\u2014The Cabinet Council this evening terminated at half-past nine.A Minister who was interviewed on the situation declared that nothing definite had been decided upon as to the changes in the Cabinet, pending a conference between the Queen Regent and Senor Sa- asta.5 It is officially denicd that the Cabinet changes are connected with a peace movement.On the contrary, it is declared that Premier Sagasta\u2019s Ministry, when the new Cabinet forms, will continue to prosecute the war with the full resources of ihe country.The Spanish Cabinet, which has just resigned, was composed as follows: \u2014 President of the Council\u2014Senor Sagasta, Minister of Foreign Affairs\u2014Senor Gul- lon, Minister of Finance\u2014Senor Puigcerter.VISIT TO CANADA, The Globe Intimates that it Would Be Better for Him to Leave This Country.Toronto, Ont., May 16.\u2014(Special.)\u2014The lengthened stay in Canada of Senor Polo ¥ Bernabe and his staff is the subject of editorial comment in the Globe this morning.It says that it is reported that the headquarters of the late Spanish Minister to the United States in Montreal are Phe scene of much activity; that there is constant communication between these headquarters and the house of the Spanish Consul.What are the ex-minister and his staff doing here, is a very natural question to ask, and they can hardly complain if the commonly accepted view ig that they must be her efor the purpose of obtaining information that may be of use to Spain.It is certainly not a time at which an important official of the Spanish Government would be making holiday.The suicide of Downing and the evidence that he had been in communication with a member of Senor Polo\u2019s party in Toronto, are circumstances that enhance the Minister of the Interior\u2014Senor Capde- pom.Elgg Minister for War\u2014General Correa.Minister of Marme\u2014Admiral Bermede- pon, Minister of Marine\u2014Admiral Mermejo.Minister of

River, and directly opposite St.Hyacinthe, forms the sole topic of conversation this morning, and much sympathy is felt for the reverend sisters in the great loss they have sustained.The building was a most commodious one of about 120 by 60 feet, constructed with every modern improvement, accommodated about 400 patients, and was valued at $30,000.Unfortunately there was no insurance.The fire is supposed to have originated in the chapel, where a number of lamps¢ were kept burning throughout the night.A Visit to the Nuns.Your correspondent has just returned from visiting the ruins, where

supposed, however, to be that of one of the sisters who is reported still missing.Crowds of people have been crossing over all afternoon to visit the ruins and render whatever assistance is in their power.La Providence village is a suburb of St.Hyacinthe, but not within the city limits.Consequently it is deprived of à water supply from the city.To this in a large measure may be âttributed the present great loss sustained by the reverend sisters, ~ Notwithstanding the hurried transfer ot the steam engine last night, the flames haa made considerable headway before the water could be applied.The brigade, wita the assistance of willing bands, did some effective work in the saving of the outs buildings and the private dwellings fn the vicinity, A small blaze was noticed dure ing the

Together Every Day, mm CHAMBERLAIN'S SPEECH But for England America Might Have Been Called Upon to Face All of Europe: me à VALUABLE OPINIONS, mt Madrid, May 15.\u2014Spain is not pleased with the utterances on the subject of an alliance between the United States and Great Britaïn.The Spanish ambassador at London, Count Rascon, telegraphed at extract of the recent speech of Mr.Chamberlain, the British Secretary of State for the Colonies, at Birmingham, on Friday evening last, to Senor Gullon, the Minis- ser for Foreign Affairs, who immediately conferred on the subject with the Pre- wier, Senor Sagasta, with the result that the latter requested the Minister for Foreign Affairs for a more detailed account of Mr.Chamberlain\u2019s remarks, Consequent- SOME VERY con for a fuller report of the speech.This, it is understood, has been neceivea, and the Spanisn Minwters were to discuss it at their meeting to-day.Spain, it is said upon good authority, will draw the attention of the Powers to the transcendency of the suggested Anglo- American alliance with respect to luro- pean interests.The Spanish newspapers and the poli ticians here of all classes discuss Mr.Chamberlain's speech most angrily.They consider it to be a sequel to the Marquis of Salisbury\u2019s warnings to Spain, whose dominions, it seems, are to be absorbed by stroug enemies.The Liberal, referring to the suggested Anglo-Saxon alliance, says: \u201cIf an alliance defensive and oifemsive is signed, the same day the general conflagration will burst out, which has been so long -up- pressed: by the Powers.\u201cAnglo-American union will be faced by Russia and Germany, with their allies, and our western .and eastern possesisons now on fire will be an insignificant episode compared with the conflagration in India, South Africa and China.\u201cIf the Anglo-Saxon alliance succeeds, Europe, which has hitherto been indifferent to our case, will take our part, not io favor us, but to defend her own preponderance in the world.\u201d The Imparcial contrasts the speech of Mr.Chamberlain with the reported action of the crew of the French cruiser Admiral Rigault De Genouilly in cheering for Spain after the bombardment of Sam: Juan de Porto Rico, which was witnessed by that vessel, as being indicative of a coming great war in Europe against the Anglo- Saxons.Continuing, the Imparcial points out that \u201cas Spain single-handed makes headway against.the United States, she will prove a valuable factor in the combination against the Anglo-Saxons.\u201d Views in.London.New York, May 15.\u2014The London correspondent of the Sun cables his paper today as follows :\u2014 \u201cTad it not been for the sharp veto ot the British Governinent, the United States would have been confronted, several days ago, with the difficult problem whether to withdraw Dewey ignominiously from the Philippines or fight combined Europe.I make this statement on the authority ot two prominent members of the Salisbury Cabinet, and its accuracy is beyond question.Moreover, it falls far short of conveying an adequate idea of the manifold perils, plots and counter-plots which the situation contains.\u201cThe proposition to send a demand to | would answer Michael Davitt\u2019t imaginings, Washington to limit the campaign to the West Indies, and to enforce the demana, with the combined fleets, came to the British Government from three powers.1 peak on the highest authority when 1 say that it was rejected by the unanimous volee of the British Cabinet.Aoreover, 1 violate no confidence in saying that the; Ministry was equally unanimous in favor of granting the United States the fullest | British support in resisting any interfer-! ence from neutral powers.\u201cIt should be explained that the idea o European interference was not prompted hy any really friendly sentiments for, Spain, Continental Europe is convinced | that the complete downfall of Spain is a | foregone conclusion.It is expected that | she will be siripped of all her possessions | outside Her domestic borders as the result | of the war.The Powers are already d:s-| cussing the division of the spoils amoung | themselves.The only hope is that they! may quarrel, The points whereon they | agree are that the United States shall re-| tain nothing outside the West Indies, ana Great Britain shall get nothing, least ot all the Philippines.In fact, the attitude of Jiurope may now best be described not as anti-British, but as broadly hostile to the Anglo-Saxon race.British Cabinet Committed.\u201cThe British Cabinet has definitely aud unanimously committed itself in principle to an Anglo-American alliance, if it can be made upon terms honorable and advantageous to both countries.The British Government having committed itself to this radical new departure has no disposition to drive a sharp bargain.It is probably quite willing that the United States should determine the scope of the proposed partnership, the general desire being to make it as close and intimate as possible.\u201cThe point which Great Britain «would probably urge with the greatest emphasis upon America would be that she speedily cquip herself as a first-class naval power.\u201d Referring editoifally to the suggestion made by Mr.Chamberlain of an Anglo- Saxon alliance, the Sun says:\u2014 \u2018The Hon.Joseph Chamberlain\u2019s speech at Birmingham points more emphatically than any earlier guide post to a hanmoni- ous relation \u2018between England and Ames rica, if need be, as against the rest of the world, \u201cThe statesmen on our side of the water vho will not consider.any proposition ot this magnitude with am open mind is unworthy of his influence, if Lie has any.\u201cFor its proper discussion, all that we need is statesmanship as leon, as alert, MAMA AMAA MAAMAAS AAA AAAADAAAAa aaa saanl as nt For RED Pak and | È Weak i PILLS Women.; : thinkers of our time.\u201d as far-seeing and as resolutely intent on guarding the interests of the United States as Mr, Chamberlain is in behalf of England.\u201d On the subject of the proposed alliance, Harold Frederick in cabling to the Times, says: \u201cAnother speech, this time from Birmingham, has powerfully moved this people.Seldom since the days of John Bright in that city has such cheering been heard as greeted Mr, Chamberlain\u2019s expression of hope that in \u2018some great and noble cause the Stars and Stripes and the English flag would -wave together over au Anglo-Saxon alliance.These cheers if, indeed, after all that has passed, Da- vitt\u2019s unproved assertions need any answer now.\u201d Mr.Ford cables to the Tribune on the same subject as follows: \u201cMr.Chamberlain was in an awkward position in Birmingham on the night when the crushing reverse of the Unionists was announced, but he emerged triumphant by making the strongest appeal in favor of an Anglo- American alliance yet heard in England.He knows better than anybody else the quarter from which the wind is blowing in England.If he doubted his politcal instinct, he was reassured by the loud, prolonged aplause which greeted his sympathetic reference to America\u2019s good and humane cause, his declaration that the war would be cheaply purchased if the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack should wave together.No other English statesman has been equally outspoken, and the effect upon the audience was fairly electrical.\u201d Discussed by Americans.Washington, D.C., May 15.\u2014Senators and representatives are all much pleased with the attitude of England in the Span- ish-American war, as expressed by Mr.Joseph Chamberlain in his speech on publie affairs in Birmingham.Members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, as a rule, declined to speak for publication at the present time on the exact action the United States might take to further an Anglo-Saxon alliance, as suggested by Mr.Chamhberlain.Théy were, however, of opinion that Mr.Chamberlain\u2019s speech strongly intimated that the sympathies of Great Britain were with America in her present struggle.Senator Gullon, of the Foreign Relations Committee, said in regard to the speech of Mr.Chamberlain: \u2018 \u2018\u201cÎt was a most wonderful speech in every way, and | we are all very glad to hear such words of good feeling come from one of the leading English statesmen.It will have the important effect of keeping either France Germany or Austria from showing out ward sympathy for Spain, and will tend to bring the two English:speaking nations together.\u201d Senator Foraker was much pleased with the speech of Mr.Chamberlain, but would say nothing for publication, except that he thought it would act as a warning to the European powers to keep out of the existing war and remain strictly neutral.Senator Thomas G.Pratt seldom becomes enthusastic over foreign affairs, hut he did not hesitate to announce his cordial appreciation of sentiments expressed by Mr.Chamberlain.Lord Brassey Heard From.London, May 15.\u2014Lord Brassey, who has just arrived in England from his Australian governorship, has kindly consented to give me his opinions on the situation created by recent events.As there are few greater authorities in naval matters linging than the owner of the Sunbeam who was also secretary of the admiralty during Mr.Gladstone's last administration, his \u2018views naturally carry great weight.\u2014 you think of the naval lessons conveyed by the success of the United States at Manila?\u201d | \u201cEverything points to-the possession\u2018 of a strong modern navy,\u201d Lord Brassey replied, \u201cas meaning in the future great con trol of the destinies of the world.The sudden descent of the United States on the Philippines and the probability that she will keep them, has come as a surprise to the world, and well it might think of being able to secure such an invaluable possession, with its ten million inhabitants, all as a result of a.few hours fight ing.Such a result as this is, indeed, calculated to appeal to the imagination, and vet it is, of course, nothing else than the simple result of superiority at sea.Without this all attempts at colonial empire are doomed to failure.\u201cThis was is a most striking verification of what Captain Mahan has taught us in his classical work on sea power.proves the truth of his contentions and places him in the front rank of political 1 Replying to our enquiry as toward which side his sympathies inclined, Lord Brassey said: \u201cIn my responsible position, I can express no sympathy one way or another with regard to this particular war.\u201cBut then I do not hesitate to say that I am a strong advocate of a thorough going offensive ahd defensive alliance between the different branches of the English-speaking world.\u201cI would advocate this in the higher interests of civilization and honest trade and commerce throughout the world.The French Press.Paris, May 14.\u2014The French newspapers unanimously condemn the speech -de- hivered by Mr.Joseph Chamberlain, the British secretary of state for the colonies, at Birmingham last night, and deny there is any probability of a war between Great Britain and France.To The Temps says:\u2014 \u201cThe establishment of an Anglo Saxon alliance is a symptom to which too much attention cannot de given, but it is certainly a German alliance which the British cabinet has ultimately in view.\u201d The Republique Francaise terms Mr.Chamberlain a \u201cCivil Boulanger,\u201d remarking that he referred to Russia in terms which a statesman should not allow himself to use.The Yale Departs.St.Thomas, D.W.L, May 15\u2014The United States auxiliary cruiser Yale left this port

DRESSMAKING WANTED\u2014Dresses made .On the premises, No.17 Place d\u2019Armes Hill, Yale and St.Louis and the protected| cruiser Montgomery, directing them to proceed to Martinique to destroy the Spanish vessels outside the three-mile limit of the island and to blockade the Terror in Fort de France.This counter-move is most important.If the Spanish vessels in the neighborhood of Martinique are destroyed and the Terror is effectually blockaded at Fort de France, the Spanish squad- yon will of necessity be compelled to come to her relief.It is not believed that Spain would leave her destroyer at the mercy ot) the American ships, so that it is possible Admiral Cervera\u2019s squadron may find it necessary to come \u2018to the relief of the Terror, and it is expected that the American ships will arrive in the vicinity of Martinique some time to-day, and interesting news may soon be expected from that quarter.A Canadian Killed.Key West, Fla., May 15.\u2014A party ot four American college graduates, who for the past two years and over have been with Garcia\u2019s army as officers of artillery, were passengers on the Mascotte, which arrived here last night.They were Major Arthur Joyce, Yale;

been formed-for the pur- i ! the beginning of the civil war, he wta ' graduated at the head of his class.\u2018The : opening of hostilities found him on the \u2014 by à Visitor and frigate Potomac, with the rank of master.Capt.Sampson was too young a man to get command during the war, but he ton- ducted himself in a manner that won him promotion to a lieutenancy in July, 1862, and while holding that commission he served on the practice ship John Adams at the Naval Academy, on the iron-clad Patapsco, of the South Atlantic blockading squadron, and on the steam frigate Colorado, the flagship of the European squadron, Captain Sampson, then a lieutenant, was the executive officer on the iron-clad Pat- apsco on January 16, 1865.His boat was a part of the blockading fleet before Charleston.The rebels knew that sooner or later the boats of the Union fleet which were doing blockade duty would seek to enter the harbor and compel the surrender of the city or reduce it, and for days they spent all their time laying submarine mines and torpedos preparatory to giving the Union boats a reception that they wouldn\u2019t forget.On the morning of the 16th the admiral of the fleet decided that the time was ripe to get into the harbor.Of course he suspected that the place was full of mines and torpedos, and he had to get rid of them in some way.He selected the Patapsco to do the work.She was ordered to enter the harbor searching for the hidden enemies, or to pick them up or destroy them when she found them.An executive officer, Lieutenant Sampson had to stand in the most exposed position on the ship, the bridge, and he was there when the boat steamed in.She was hardly in the harbor when she was in range of the rebel sharpshooters, and they opened fire on her.It was a withering fire, and the men on the Patapsco fell before it.Standing exposed, the target for a thousand rifles, and with men dropping around you every moment is a nerve test a good many men would not stand.Lieut.Samp- gon did.The fire got hotter and hotter.Sampson ordered the sailormen and marines on deck to go below, where they could escape it, and he held his place, a lone target for the bullets that flew about \u2018him like hail in an autumn storm.Suddenly the firing ceased, without any apparent reason.The sharpshooters could be seen on shore, holding their rifles, but not firing.The little ironclad moved slowly through the water on her mission.The sudden stopping of the fire, perhaps, gave the men on the boat a warning that worse was ut store for them, but it was too late to retreat if such a thought entered the mind of any man.Foot by foot the boat moved on.Then there was a mighty roar, and the boat shot up in the air, surrounded by great spouts of water.She fell in pieces.Sheets of flame shot out from her hull, there was another and another explosion within her, and she sank slowly in the water.Lieut.Sampson had been blown a hundred feet in the air and fell in the hull of his boat.Twenty-five of the crew were with him safe, the others, more than seventy in number, had met their death as the Maine men met their death in Havana harbor.Penned inside the shin, there was no escape for them.Lieut.Sampson was rescued by the others who were not killed hy the exnInsion, and in a day he was readv for another experience ar daredevil as the one he had just gone through.AT THE WOODBINE TRACK.Toronto, May 14.\u2014The morning exercise at the Woodbine track was marked by a fast half mile, the fastest so far at the track this season.Mazarin and Tak- anasee, of the Bennington and Gardiner string did the distance quite handily in 50 1-4 and had a good deal left.These horses have been racing and will only : e- gotiate short distances to keep them in \u2018trim.\u2018The Hendrie two-year-olds Amah, Term Day and Martinmas were sent the half mile in 54 1-4 and the five furlongs in 1.10.Another brace of them, Teddie Ladie and Wait-a-bit negotiated the half in 53 1-2, and the five eighths in 1.03.The two- vear-old De Blaize was sent around in company with Kenosha and Odd Genius The two latter did the seven eighths in 1.36 1-4.De Blaize dropping out at the five eighths pole, although he could have finished the journey.The time for the five furlongs was 1.07, \u2019 Beau Ideal and Newberry went three- quarters in 1.19 1-2, and Riredeau, Frivolity and Tamora the same distance in 1.213.Redmonk and Defender went the same journey in 1.22 1-4, Boyle\u2019s Plater Dumfries was given a slow mile and a quarter.Sister Adele and Lady Dorothy accomplished a mile in 1.52, and Brandy Wine and Sue Kitty the same distance in 1.462.Brandywine finished under a pull and was full of running.CELEBRATION.Hall\u2019s account of the festivities of a Christmas a hundred and fifty

fashion; and on the frount of the castle was written, Le Fortresse Dan- gerus, and within the castle were six ladies clothed in russet satin laide all over with leves of golde, und every owde knit with laces of blewe silke and golde; on ther heddes coyfes and cappes all of gold.After this castle had been carried about the hal, and the Quene had behelde :t, in came the Kyng with five other appareled in coates, the one hall of russet satyn, spangled with spangles of fine golde, the other halfe riche cloth of gold; on their heddes cappes of russet satin embroudered with workes of fine gold bullion.These six assaulted the castle: the ladies seyng them so lustie and cora- gious wer content to solace with them, and upon farther communication to yeld the castle, \u2018and so thei came down and daunced a long space.And after the ladies led the knights into the castle, and their sight.\u2019 \u201cOn the daie of the Epiphanie at night, the Kyng with XI.other were disguised after the manner of Italie, called a maske, a thing not seen afore in Englande; they were apparelled in garments long and brode, wrought all with gold, with visers and cappes of gold; and after the banket doen, these maskers came in with nix gentlemen disguised in silke, bearing staffe torches, and desired the ladies to daunce; some were content and some that knew the fashion of it refused, because it was not a thing commonly seen.And after they daunced and commoned together as the fashion of the maske is, thei tooke their leave and departed.And so did the Quene and all the ladies.\u201d\u2019\u2014 Sir Walter Besant, in the Pall Mall Magazine.ENGLISH RACING.Wednesday week, the 25th inst, the great Derby will be run and already a number of wagers have been made in this city on the result.Up to

\u2014 The Police Have Succeeded in Making Several Important Arrests.oe ° Y.W.C, A, WAS VISITED pre Desperate Encounter in a Grocery Store\u2014A Burglar Badly Hurt.- mr en MEN BEFORE THE BENCH, ere A series of burglaries were perpetrated early Sunday morning in different parts of the city, and apparently by different gange, which kept both the detective and police departments busy, and with good results, for several members of two gangs are now under arrest, and as for the third gang, the men are known by the police.The first atempt was made on the premises of Mr.John O\u2019Connor, a flour and feed merchant, at No.43 Dupre lane.About 1 o'clock yesterday» morning, three men entered the rear of Nos.43 and 45 Dupre lane and succeeded in effecting an entrance into the Mr.O\u2019Connor\u2019s store.Mr.O\u2019Dea, who keeps a restaurant at the corner of Dupre Lane and St.Maurice Street saw teh thrce men entering the store and immediately called Constable McRae, who was just then at the corner of Notre Dame Street.On hearing the story Constable McRae immediately started after the thieves.He told O\u2019Dea to telephone to No.8 police station for assistance, and himself closed in on the men, who were in the act of leaving the store with their booty.A lively time followed the constable\u2019s arrival on the scene.The burglars resented his intrusion on their peaceful operation and fearing to lose their liberty, made several attacks on Constable McRae.Two other constables from No.6 station arrived before the thies could escape and they were taken to the cells.This morning, they appeared before Judge Desnoyers and gave their names as James Murphy, aged 26; Thos.Smith, aged 28; Thos.Cassidy, aged 44.They pleaded not guilty and were remanded for enquete.A Visit to the W.W.C.A.The Young Woman\u2019s Christian Association on Dorchester Street was visited by two men about four o\u2019clock Sunday morning.In this case it would appear that the men had information as to the whereabouts of the cashbox which contained the ready money of the Association.Sometimes a goodly sum.The men opened a window facing Stanley Street and, through this reached the laundry.but nothing of value seems to have been taken.They then made their way upstairs and soon reached the two lady superintendents were sleeping.Before finding the cash, however, one of the ladies awakened and uttering a ery brought consternation to the night marauders.The men fled in haste and the lady started after them awakening the household in the hope that by some means the fellqws would be caught.The latter were too quick.They rapidly found the laundry and were seen through the window into the street.Every effort was made to find them but without success.\u2018 The ladies say that nothing was stolen.A Desperate Encounter.Another attempt at burglary was reported at 4.30 Sunday morning by Constable Bloomfield.This time it was at No.163 St.Antoine street, a grocery store owned by Mr.Cas- per Spector.James McNeill, with two other men, broke into Mr.Spector's store from the side door and ransacked the whole place before anything was noticed.Mr.Spector, who slept on the same flat, vas awakened 4y the noice which the men vere making in the store and not knowing any cause for it entered the store.There he found that burglars were at work.The men were met at the back entrance by Mr.Spector, who made a desperate Light to capture the thieves.Two of the men succeeded in escaping, but the other turned on Mr.Spector and a desperate {ight followed, during which the latter was struck on the head with a bottle and badly cut.A cousin of Mr.Spector now arrived on the scene and knocked O'Neil down with a stool.\" Constable Bloomfield was attracted to the scene by the noise.McNeill was almost unconscious, and- he was promptly taken away.His wounds were dressed at the hospital, and early last evening, fearing he would attempt to escape, Chief Detective Carpenter sent Detective Suth- ergill to bring him to the private cells for the night.He was brought before Judge Desnoyers in the Court of Enquete this morning.McNeill pleaded not guilty, and was remanded.He told Chief Carpenter this morning that he did not know his accomplices, but thought they were Americans.He said he was drunk at the time, and did not know what he was doing.Chief Carpenter said, however, that Me- Neil was well uown to the police, and that his story of the two other men being Americans was an old story.Mr.Spector had eight stitches put in his head, and he will be laid up for some time.PS avatar se Quebec Lottery.7 Judge Mathieu this morning dismissed the action of the Hon.Alph.Desjardins and Mr.A.L.de Martigny, taken in their quality of trustees of the St.eJan Baptiste

I.Editor of The Herald : \\ Sir, \u2014The beauties of the ride around \u2018 the mountain on the cars of the Park and Island Railroad attract large numbers of our citizens, and it is to be regretted that more complete arrangements for their convenience are not made.The fare on the Park and Island Railroad is ten cents, and this, I believe, entitles you in some cases to transfers to the Montreal Street Railway.But not in all cases.Yesterday I boarded a car marked \u201cP.and L\u2014 around the Mountain,\u201d on Bleury street, and had to pay five cents to reach the junction with the line running around the mountain.Five cents more took me to Outremont, but it required ten cents to take me from Outremont to Westmount, and as the car I had boarded was a \u201cspecial\u201d one, I could not get a transfer, and had to pay my way on the city railroad.The cost, therefore, of leaving ome part of the city, going around the mountain, and returning to the place from whenca I lef§, was btwentyfive cents.Surely the management, if they wish to popularize their beautiful road, cam im- rove ou thiarstate of affairs.Yours, a century of bes Life in trying to perfect a Publishing prove 7

People-Warmly Welcomed.Vancouver, B.C., May 15.\u2014In the grey hours of this morning the Klondike contingent of Canada regulars started on their long journey to the golden north.The steanier \u201cIslander,\u201d chartered to convey the contingent, was in port all day on Saurday.\u2018The wharf hands were hard at work the entire day, filling the vessel's hold with the outfits, provisions, #nedicine chests, ammunition, ete., for the troops.In addition to her military passengers, the Islander\u2019s list included the four Klondike nurses, Miss Faith Fenton, and Mr.A.Forfald, manager of the company which intends building the railway from Skagway to the Lakes.While in Vancouver the soldiers and nurses were treated and feasted to their heart\u2019s content.The visit of the military contingent has certainly, from a military point of view, done much good.The great distance of Vancouver from the military depots of Canada prevents meetings of different corps, and to many here this has been the first opportunity of seeing representatives of the permanent corps, and it may.very truly be said that closer contact with this force has left in the minds of all a very high opinion of the physique, appearance, smartness and discipline of the body of men who are the regulars of the Canadian militia.They leave Vancouver with some regret, their recention here being far ahead of anvthing they had been led to expect.The prevailing impression of Vancouver society in the East, must be, to say the least, peculiar.and it has been a great pleasure for citizens to enlighten the minds of the visitors in this respect.REMENY! FELL DEAD.The Famous Violinist Who Has Delighted Canadians, Passed Away After Playing \u2018 Old Glory.\u201d San Francisco, Cal, May 15.\u2014Edouard Remenyi, who held royalty enchanted and has enthralled fashionable audiences all over the world, fell dead this afternoon at the Orpheus Theatre in this city.It was Remenyi\u2019s first appearance on the vaudeville stage.In response to a burst of applause after playing \u201cOld Glory,\u201d the great Rem- enyi started t oplayk4 enyi commenced to play Dolibe\u2019s \u201cPizzicati.\u201d He had just completed a few bars when he leaned forward as if to speak to one of the musicians in the orchestra.Continuing, he seemed to pause for a moment and then slowly fell forward on his face.One of the musicians caught him just CANADA ATLANTIC CUTTING RATES The \u201c Baby Line\u201d in Eastern Busi ness Accused of This tete But it Replies That it Only Met Secret Reductions Made by the Grand Trunk.Local railway officials are complaining bitterly of teh incisions being made in the lake and rail rates, at the very opening of the season by the Canada Atlantic, louuy eastbound freight rates are as badly demoralized as they were before the recent meeting of the board of control of the Joint Traffic Association.This meeting made east-bound rates a subject of consideration, and, was followed by an edict, issued by the different eastern line Presidents, for the re-establishment of tariff rates.Rae irregularities, however, have grown worse and worse, and today all esat-bound tariffs out of Chicago are absolutely demoralized.In fact, the freight rate situation today is quite as bad as the passenger rate irregularities, although interest in the former department is confined to railway officials and shippers alone.The Canada Atlantic, which is the \u2018baby\u2019 line in eastern business, is accused of doing much to bring about this deplorahle rate condiion.With their new fast \u201cfreighters\u201d from Chicago to Parry Sound, and their direct connection with Montreal, they have secured a large proportion of Chicago grain for export from this city.This business, the other roads claim, was secured by secret cutting.No open reduec- tions have as yet been announced by any of the Eastern lines, although the prasi- dents of the roads have ordered that whenever any secret cuts are discovered, open tates meeting the cut should at once be put into effect.Although it is an open secret that shippers can obtain grain rates at 10 cents per 100 Ibs., and less, none of the roads dare openly accuse the other, since all have been engaged in secret cutting.The Canada Atlantic, on the other hand declares it has simply met the rates made secretly by itts rival lines, and that it could not permit itself to be underbid hy its big competitor the Grand Trunk.Railway officials state ,that there is every likelihood of the freight rate demoralization existing for some considerable length of time .VICTORIA RIFLES ELECT OFFICERS Regiment's Rifle Men Hold Their Annual Meeting on Saturday Evening in the Armory.The annual meeting of the V.R.C.Rifle Association was held in the Armory on Saturday night.The following oiticers \u2014 before he touched the stage, and physicians were immediately summoned, but the | aged musician was past medical aid.Edouard Remenyi was born in Hungary.sixty-four years ago.He leaves.a widow,!
