BRAVE ENGLISH MARINES,
How They Nobly Died at Their Post
Of Duty on the Victoria.

LONDON, July Major Smith,
commander of the marines aboard the
warship Victoria at the time of the
disaster off Trlpoli, has written to the
colonel in command of the marines at
Gosport concerning the behavior of his
men. "The non commissioned officers
and men behaved splendidly. Words
will not express all they did. They
fell in by watches on the quarter deck
as steadily as on parade, without the
speaking of word of caution, until the
end came. 1t was a sight one car
never forget, SO grand, SO sad; theii
behavior may have been equalled, il
was never beaten"

EXCITEMENT IN ARGENTINA.
A Grave Political Crisis Reported From
Buenos Ayres.

VALPARAISO, July 8 There is great
excitement in Buenos Ayres over the
political situation. The chiefs of the
various political factions have advised
President Pima to resign, and his retire
ment is regarded as inevitable. A con
ference, which lasted all night, was held
by President Pima, the members of his
Cabinet and the leaders of the various
parties. 1t was generally believed that
President Pima would be asked to re-
sign on account of his unpopuIarity.
The report that this would be done
caused great crowds to gather in front
of the Presidents palace to await the
result The conference ended without
any definite action, having accom-
Pushed nothing favorable to the
President. The leaders advice was
that he resign, and showed that he
need expect no support from them.
The members of the Cabinet are still
in conference with the President in the
palace. 1t is believed he will be forced
to resign within a few days. The
Brazilian revolutionists have blown up
the bridge across the Rio Negro, near
Bage. The Castilhisthas' heads are
badly demoralized.

The effort to suppress cholera in It's
spawning bed is likely to be SO success,
full as to justify the promise of an
English physician that the disease will
be extinct in thirty years. Cholera
always originates either in the delta OF
the Ganges, or that of the Nile.
Bodies cast into the sacred river OF
India find their way into the lagoons
and shadows near the wide outlet and
are exposed in the mud when the
waters fall. The same is true of COrpses
in Egypt which are buried so near the
Nile that floods tear them out Of then
graves and carry them to the delta
During hot weather sun and rain acting
upon the decomposed masses set free
the cholera germ, which then begin
its globe encircling ravages. In lndli
it is proposed to take strong measure
against Gauges burial except in tn
form of cremated ashes, and in Egyp
the English-who have already provet
themselves blessing to that country

there. These precautions, couple
with growing respect for hygienic rule
