WASHINGTON, June 2-The Secretary of the
Navy, in order to make the squadron on the Afri-
can coast more efficient has issued orders that i'm
future vessels must not touch at Madeira, having
found that ships on visiting this agreeable resort
are apt to remain too long, thereby giving the
slavers an opportunity to prosecute their inhunan
traffic. The Administration are determined to nut
stop to it If possible and the vessels jus. ordered,
to those waters will take out positive and explicit
instructions with the view TO accom- plish the OBJ
ject aimed at by the Government.

President are here, and have entered upon the dis
charge of their duties. They intend, il is under.

gagged in the present hostilities are DESTROYS of,
and hope for peace the complications are SO great
that there Is almost an impOssibity of preventing
general war. In such an event. there is no doubt
that Russia will array herself with France.
