LONDON, July 29. 29.-According TO an
interview with Capt. CasGti, the Italian
explorer, the Germans and English have
a good deal of work to do before ths
countries they have appropriated can be
made much use of. He says that the IN
terror of Africa is just at present in such
an agitated state that exploration and
commercial enterprise will he diffietalt,
even for England.
The situation is far worse than some
years ago. Since the Sondan war the
natives have become far more iealous OF
the whites. and the constant wars be-
tween native kings, who are all more or
less brigaDas. and the disturbances
caused by the Arabs, keep the whole
interior In ferment. He believes that

RICHFIELD SPRINGS, N. Y. July 20. -
A cipher dispatch received here Sunday
by an official of the Guatemalan gov
ernment says that Guatemala accepts
the war provoked by Salvador, and will
continue it until Salvador elects a legiti.
mate president in place of Ezeta. The
battle fought ON the 23d, the same dis
patch says, resulted in the rout of the
Salvadorians, but, as Salvador com
mands the cable to Central America,
the government only allows dispatches
favorable to itself to be sent abroad.
The telegram further asserts that the
arms taken from the steamer Collins
We're taken with the consent of the
Pacific Mail agent and the American
minister, by virtue of Article II of the
Pacific Mail contract. Honduras, the
dispatch further says, will join with
Guatemala If events require her. Guate-
mala has 10000 men under arms and
Honduras 5000, while Salvador has only
about 10, 900 men.

Proposed to Enlarge the site for the
worlds Fair.
CHICAGO, July 29.-~The plan of divi-
sion of the worlds fair, which will be
presented by the directors to the legis-
lature, is to place on the land reclaimed
from Lake Michigan the art gallery, the
government building and another build
ing containing Il fine electrical display -
three buildings in all-and use the pres
ent lake front grounds as an entrance
ground. At jackson park will be placed
the Zig machinery hall. the stock show,
a mineral palace. an underground
mining exhibit, glass factory, the sew
eral state exhibits. oriental villas and
such other novel and beautiful displays
as may be offered later on.
Gen. Fitzsimons, the contractor, and
J. 7. Dougine, first vice president of the
National Association of American In
ventors, has submitted new PROPOSE
ton for utilizing the lake front. Their
scheme involves the building of Golfer
dam from Thirteenth street to Ran
dolph, with concrete and stonework,
making it safe and water-tight. They
then propose to pump out the water.
leaving u basin containing about 300
acres Of land, including the 40 acres
which are now there. This will leave
ground on which the fair structure can
be erected. AT the water edge the sur
face of the ground will be thirteen feet
below the water surface, and gradually
slope to the shore.
Ibis new land will be approached by
ten or more subways running to the Illi-
nois Central tracks. The top of the
coffer-dam will be forty five feet wide,
and can be used for an extensive drive
way. The base of this structure will be
eighty feet in width. Messrs. Fitz-
simons and Dougine say they are will
ing to put up the pumping works to do
the work and give bonds in the sum of
81 600 900 for the performance and
maintenance Of the same, and will fur
nish this clay bed-which they claim to
be unexcelled for building purposes-at
cost of $l,250,0 600. The proposition
will doubtless be referred to the COM
mittee ON buildings and grounds.

Another new departure has been
made in the appropriation this year by
raising the requirements of speed for
the ! 800 ton cr1i ser to twenty-one knots
minimum, which is one knot more than
I the requirements hitherto. The designs
/ for this vessel are also nearly completed,
end she will probably be considerably
faster than the requirements, if not the
f&stest cruiser afioat. She will have
three sets of engines and three screws,
and carry long ten-inch high power

There are also authorized fast tor
pedo cruiser of 750 tons and one torpedo
boat, which will be somewhat similar to

THE foregoing gives fair idea of
what has been done and is doing to-
wards providing us with modern navy.
But in addition to the vessels and more
important than the construction of a few
