NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Adispatch re-
ceived here announces the loss at sea
OF the Spanish bark Esperanza and a
portion of her crew. The bark sailed
from Boston for Falmouth on May 20
with cargo of oil. She carried a crew
OF twenty-eight men. Foggy weather
was met during the entire voyage until
June 2, when the fog lifted and a gale
sprung up. 1t increased In vehemence
until June 10. At the height of the
gale two port holes were STAYED in and
water poured into the vessel in tons.
Eventually the water caused the car
go to shift, part of the matches burst
and the heavy barrels rolled from side
to side. Seeing that the vessel was
doomed the crew took to the boats,
the last man to leave being the cap
tain. As he stepped into the boat and
pushed off, the Inflated boat rolled
over and sank.

good news for the street thief who is in

after risking his liberty, found upon
examination that some dainty Russian
leather case has contained two street
car tickets, seven cents in change, four
samples of gingham, the address of n

ing silver. Now he can watch for The

The American Abroad.

When he goes abroad for the first
'lme the American looks after the anti
que. including the baronial castle in
which his ancestors were born. and
which he usually finds out is only one
story high. He visits the places where
from former degradation arose the
principles of liberty; the cathedrals
that symbolized in stone the RELIGION
OF the race until it was expressed in n
better form-the spirit; he sees the
wonderful canvases of the masters. and
returns broader, richer, fuller man.
The second time he goes abroad il is
generally for the scenes; but he returns
convinced that there is no scenery in
the world that equals that of the
United States. On his third visit no
wishes to study the institutions of the
Old World, and he finds that there can
be no comparison. Rich in antiouitv
Europe may be, but in all that pertains
to the present or the future America is
vastly in the lead.-Orations and After

" WILLIAM T.. GLADSTONE.
THE G. o. NJ. ANNOYED.

The UnionIsts and Conservatives Re-
ioicing Over tho Split In the Opposition.
fBy Anglo-American cable 70 the Dispatch.l
LONDON, November 25.-The Liberal
leaders are unanimously Of the opinion
that Gladstone's ultlmatum was an abso-
lutte necessity. Gladstone is annoyed
because Parnell, at the meeting of his
followers, did not mention his interview
with Merely, and resents keenly Par
nell's disregard Of his protest. Gladstone
had previously intimated his intention
TO give no counteuance to any amend
ment to the address If Parnell
were reelected TO the Irish leader
ship. This explains the sudden ending
of to-night's debate. The Conservatives
and Unionists gleefully chatted in the
House over the split in the opposition.
The Liberal newspapers throughout the
country regret Parnell's decision, and
in many instances comment In the
strongest terms upon ms iloutln8
Gladstone and his contempt for his
Liberal allies. The Conservative and
Unionst newspapers are rejoicing over
the split, which they consider as dlsas-
trous to the Gladstonian party as that OF
1886, and which they believe may posi-
bly, prove fatal blow to the home-rule
aspirations of the Irish people.
