WASHINGTON, March 29-The report

commander of the offending Spanish
cruiser has been relieved, and orders sent
other Spanish commanders in Cuban wa
tiers to observe the requirements of inter-
national law and restrain from improper

The retiring minister, Muruaga, had q
conference yesterday with Gresham. It
had no reference either to the AHianoe
affair, or to the protest made BY the min
lister against fiIibustering expeditions from
the United States against Cabs. 1t was
merely social call, and only significant
as emphasizing the incerrectness of the
statements that Muruaga was no longer
acceptable to the United States govern

The Manitoba trouble over the public
school question is liable to lead to blood

way seems to be satisfied with existing
school facilities in Manitoba and believes
all would work harmoniously If the
priests would keep their hands of. The
Catholics on the other side claim the
right to educate their children according
to the dictates of their own conscience
and the priest, being their spiritual ad-
wiser, has right to protest against the
present system. Thus you see the picture
on both sides. fhe Orange Lodge, of
Manitoba, now In session, by q resolution,
calls upon all good men, be they Catho-
lies or Protestants, Jews or Gentiles to
support no candidates for the house Of
commons or Legislature who do not
openly and unqualifedly pledge them
selves to determinedly oppose any and all
attempts towards the closing Of the pub
lie schools, and imposing upon them and
their children the accursed system OF
sectarian or separate schools.

WASHINGTON, March 30-It is under
stood that the effort made toward the
close of the last congress to secure an in
ternational commission for the consider
ton of the seal question, with view to
preventing the annihilation of the species
will be revived at the beginning OF next
session, when it is believed that congress,
having more time to consider the matter.
will be favorably disposed toward action.
1t was urged when the bill was before
congress last session that there was great
danger If the present regulations we're al
lowed to remain IN force another year
that there would be very few seals lett to
protect, but TINS view Is not pressed
now, and the opinion is expressed that
even after this years crop of pelts shall
be harvested there will be sufficient
nucleus remaining to allow of rapid in-
crease in case those left are sufficiently y
protected.
The commission now proposed is to be
composed of delegates from Japan and
Russia, as well as this country and G. eat
Britain. and those who pressed the ques-
tioD upon congress at its last session
contend that it is possible to secure the
assent of all these nations. United States
authorizes are especially anxious to SEE
cure and extend the closed season, so as
to embrace August and, if possible. Sep
tember also, as we'll as May, June and

say, insure the protection of the mother

take care of themselves,
