A private dispatch received in London
from Valparaiso says that the American

lieving war inevitable, will not allow the
United States to select their own time to de-
clare war, but will suddenly give Egan his

as to have the first blow as an advantage. 1t
is not believed among the foreign residents of
Valparaiso that the other foreign men-of-war
in Valparaiso harbor would permit q
treacherous attack on Capt Schley. but would
demand that he be given fair notice to quit
Valparaiso. Capt. Schley, however, is keeping
a vigilant outlook, and means to take no
chance. Those who know him say that he
would not surrender under any circumstances

Of their loans. This will raise about 81 zoo, 600

CAPT. ARMsTRONG's DIVORCE SUIT.
1t IL the All-Absorbing Topic in Foreign
Dramatic Circles

1t 10 the All-Absorbing Topic in Foreign
Dramatic Circles.
The action for divorce brought by Capt.
Chas. Armstrong, late of her majesty's service,
against his wife, the celebrated soprano known
by the stage name of Madame Molba, is the all
absorbing topic Of conversation in foreign
| social and theatrical circles. Madame Molba
was married when but eighteen years old, and
largely through the assistance OF her parents,
to Capt. Armstrong. She is now twenty six
years of age. She claims to have been badly
treated for several years before having filed
her petition for a judicial separation. In order
to protect his interests Madame Molba had her
son made ward in chancery, with Lord
Rothschild and others as trustees.
1t appears that Capt. Armstrong was seeking
his wife when he was served with the papers in
the suit for separation. Immediately after this
action on tine part of his wife Capt. Armstrong
filed a petition for divorce.
The captain is a thoroughly sshorsey" man
| and is at present engaged in breaking Argen-
tine colts at East Grimstead. 1t is known that
when In London last June Molba was actually
almost penniless, her husband having taken
| from her what money she had. At that time
| she was placed in possession OF funds by friends
who had every reason to believe that the Due
d Orleans was merely one of many harmless
admirers A London correspondent, however,
says that Madame MOlba actually loves and is
loved by the noble Frenchman The couplc
have been prudent, waiting in the confident
hope that Capt. Armstrong. the husband would
sooner or later be caught in adultery an
offense. which, coupled with proverbial cruelty,
would justify divorce.
Sir Augustus Harris has offered Madame
Molba II 900 night to sing next season, but
the lady has declined to consider the PROPOSE
ton unless her Appearances are confined to
two unconsecutive nights a week, she reserving
| all rights for private concerts and other en-
gaBements. There is strong syndicate be-
hind the soprano, and in the event OF her be-
| Ing unable to arrange with Sir Augustus she
will probably settle on an independent season.
This will In all probability be done should Sir
Augustus Harrison not grant the lady terms
similar to those which were granted her at the
Paris opera last spring
Manager Bertrand claims that Madame Molba
! is fully up to PATHS recent work. 1t is be-
,ieVed that the American tour proposed for
Madame Mo.ba at the rate of 81. 600 DER night
hae been abandoned.
