Making Warlike Preparations - For

WASHINGTON, July St is rumored
that within the past week the Spencer,
Winchester and Remington arms COM
panies have received large orders for
small arms from Honduras, and Guate-
mala and Salvador have been buying a
considerable quantity of powder from
the Vulcan Powder Company, Of San
francisco. Salvador only short time
before Menendez's- death, received IL, 200
stands OF English rifles. General Ezeta
is now distributing those arms amongst
the people of Salvador, and has ordered
OF the Connecticut cartridge manufac-
turing company 100000 rounds of am
munition. Both Americans and Euro
peans are experiencing sense of inse
curlty at the state of affairs, and like
feeling pervades both Guatemala and
Honduras. The British, German.
French, Spanish and Italian legations
have notified their respective govern
ments, and it will not be surprising to
see men-of-war make visits at an early
date to Central American ports.

The British Colonies Will 10 Longer
the Subsidy.
SAN Francisco, July 8.-The Journal
of Commerce has an editorial this morn
ing calling attention to the fact that
colonies of New South Wales and New
Zealand intend, in November next, to
discontinue the subsidy which they
have paid for the past twenty years to
maintain regular line of mail steamers
between San Francisco and the colonies.
The paper states that this action on
the part of the colonies is due to the
failure of the United States. to pay at
least one-half the cost of maintaining
the present mail and passenger service.
The paper also points out that the
amount of mail matter going from this
port to the colonies is nearly fifteen times
as great as that coming this way,
and that in 1889 the exports of mer-
chandise from America to the colonies
amounted to $22, $40, 900, while imports
from the colonies amounted to but
SIG, ,231 ,620, showing balance OF trade in
favor of America. The Journal ofCommerce
declares that in view of present circum-
stances, the end of steam communica-
ton between America and the British
colonies in the South Pacific is near, and
deems it imperative that congress should
devote early and prompt attention to the
subjects.

BERING SEA CLAIMS.

He is Gathering Information at Victoria
The Stories About Sealers Making
Armed Resistance Denied.

VICTORIA, B. c., JulyS.-Haveley Hill,
member of the imperial house of COM
mons, is here gathering further informa-
tion about the Bering sea claims. Hill
brought the matter before the commons
this year, but it was lpy7 2oned at the
request of the segyLIly of foreign af-
fairs. RM
The statements appearing in American
papers, dated yIctoy,a, that schooners
were arriving hereand at Maple bay fol
the purpose ct resistance to American
revenue cutters in Bering sea, are wholly
without foundation. The sealers are
generally of the opinion that no seizures
will be made this year, and have
gone into Bering sea in large numbers.
There is rumor here that the English
war cruisers, lately arrived in port, will
go into Bering sea for the protection OF
British sealers, but this has not yet been
confirmed,

Associeted Press Dispatches.

MILWAUKEE, July S.-The parade ot
the Knights of Pythias, in spite Of the
almost unbearable heat, was great sue
cess. Ten thousand men were in line.
The tiftieth brigade was composed Of 15O
Californians and knights from other
western states, under Commander-Gen-
eral George H. Schaeffner. Commander
Calnahan strenuo1sly denounced the
story to the effect that he had refused
the California delegation admission to
the quarters because they wanted to
bring wine and liquors into camp. 'It
is vicious lie, and seems to have been
printed with malicious INTENT" the gen.
eral said. '"There is no California divis-
ion here, and l have not yet met a single
man from that state. No application for
quarters was made, and quite naturally
could not have been refused"
The statement above referred to was
to the effect that General Carnahan,
commander OF the uniformed knights,
being temperance man, ordered that
not only the strictest military discipline
should be observed, but that no liquor
of any sort should be allowed inside of
the camp; that regiment from Cali
fornia had brought along carload of
the product of the California vineyards; !;
that they were in ignorance of the chiefs
order, and proceeded to roll their wine
into camp; that it was ordered out,
whereupon the far west men said they
would camp beside their grape juice out
side the walls.
TX OOO ~, Nv, roc,oo,, JoJ
to the reveille at Camp Carnahan this
morning, but for all that was positively
known at General Carnahan's head
quarters, there might have been a mil
lion men under the tents last night.
There is deplorable lack of system
about the management of the camp, and
the responsibility does not seem to rest
on the shoulders of any particular per-
sons. Up to noon only two brigades had
submitted to Adjutant-General Mckee a
report of the number of men under their
Jurisdiction.
Several cases OF prostration from heat
were reported yesterday and today, but
none were serious. The Red Cross So
ciety has established a hospital on the
grounds and is caring for some of the
cases of sickness.
The grand parade took place after
noon, and was the most successful fea-
ture OF the encampment.
The features of this morning Pythian
conclave were grand reception at the
exposition building and the opening Of
the deliberations of the supreme lodge.
The exercises at the exposition building
were opened by the mayor, who made a
speech of welcome. The governor fol-
lowed with welcome on behalf of the
people OF Wisconsin. Following the re-
ception the members of the supreme
lodge were escorted to the West Side
Turner hall, which was provided for
their use during the supreme lodges
session, and the first meeting of that
body was opened.
