Look After British Interests - The
Portuguese DENY Violence.
LONDON, July lin the House of Com
mons this evening, Sir James Ferguson,
parliamentary secretary to the foreign
Office, stated that Portugal had Cancelled
the Delagoa Bay railway concession, not
withstanding the representations of Eng
land. The Portuguese government had been
informed by EAgland that Portugal would
be held responsible for any loss which
British investors might suffer by her action.
The legal question involved was being con-
sldered by the government, and proper
steps would be taken to protect the British
residents at Delagoa Bay.
MEN-oF-wAR GOING TO THE SCENE.

bury stated that in order to provide against
any action by the Portuguese inimical to
British interests, England had ordered three
ships to.proceed to Delagoa Bay. This force
would be sufficient to cope with any diff

LISBON, July 1.-Dispatches from Della
goa Bay are reassuring. The report of vio-
lence on the part Of the Portuguese is de-
MED. There was no disturbance. The
agents of the railway company have handed
over the line to the Portuguese officials and
have made a valuation upon the
work they have already done. The
directors of the Portuguese company
at Lisbon, with which alone the
Portuguese government has treated, have
informed the government that they have
no intention of resisting the decree cancel
ing the concession, but will seek legal re-
dress. In political circles here it is asserted
that the concession and Portuguese laws
fully guarantee repayment of the capital
which the railroad company has sunk in the
enterprise.
DISCUSSED BY THE DEPUTIES
In the Chamber of Deputies to-day, Senior
Vazi, leader of the opposition, protested
against foreign interference IN Delagoa
Bay. Senor Garcia replied that false and
exaggerated statements of the matter had
been published. The government would
perform its duty and safely guard all its
rights and interests.
The government has agreed to submit
the Delagoa Bay question to arbitration.

He is Sent to Vancouver Barracks as
a Reprimand.
WASHINGTON, July Maj. Garrett j.
Lydecker, engineer corps, who was the
engineer in charge of the Washington
acueduct tunnel has been ordered to Van
couver barracks, Washington territory.
1t is said by officers connected with the
engineer corps that the detail of Mai. Ly
decker to Vancouver barracks, is in the
nature of reprimand. 1t is customary to
station an army engineer officer at each
army headquarters, but never to detail an
officer above the grade of first lieutenant
for this service. 1t is understood that the
detail was made at the suggestion of
Gen. Casey, chief of engineers.
Gen. Casey took the position that after
Maj. Lydecker's failure to properly super
intend the construction Of the Washington
aqueduct,. he could not be entrusted with
the charge of other important improve
ments, and that, therefore, there was no
assignment which could be given him other
than one of the character made to day.

vivid flashes of lightning lighted up the
streets, which seemed more to resemble the
Ded or river than roads in the center of
the town. The water pipes burst at every
corner, the roads were cut up almost beyond
recognition, and level roads were piled with
earth and loosened stones and debris from
tho upper streets SO as to be impassable
Fifteen lives were known to have been
lost when the steamer sailed. A
week after the storm the city presented the
appearance of having suffered a subter-
ranean upheaval and subsistence. During the
hrsG part of the week but little progress was
made with the work of removing the debris
Loud complaints therefore arose about the
serious danger to health to which tho
