ENGLAND AND SPAIN,

The harvest had failed in Galicia.
and the population was starving.
England grew more corn than she
wanted, and under special promise
that the crews should not be molested.
fleet of corn traders had gone with
cargoes of grain to Courna, Bilboa and
Santander. The king of Spain on
hearing that Elizabeth was treating
with the states issued a sudden order
TO seize the vessels. confiscate the car
goes and imprison the men. The order
was executed. One English ship only
was lucky enough to escape by the
adroitness Of her commander, writes
the late ]. A. Froude in Longman's
Magazine.
The Primrose Of London lay in
Bilboa roads with a captain and if
teen hands. The mayor, on receiving
the order, came on board to look over
the ship. He then went on shore for
sufficient force to carry out the seizure.
After he was gone the captain heard
of the fate which was intended for
him. The mayor returned with two
boatloads of soldiers. stepped up the
ladder. touched the captain on the
shoulder and told him he was prison.

cutlass. pistol and battleax, killed

threw the rest overheard and flung
stones on them as they scrambled into
their boats. The mayor, who had
fallen into the sea. caught rope and
was hauled up when the fight was
over. The cable was cut, the sails
hoisted and in a few moments the
Primrose was under way for England,
with the mayor Of Bilboa below the
matches. No second vessel got away.
If Philip had meant to brighten Eliza
beth he could not have taken worse
means of doing it for he had exasper-
ated that particular part Of the English
population which was least afraid of
him. He had broken faith, besides,
and had seized some hundreds of mer-
chants and sailors who had gone merely
to relieve Spanish distress. Eliza
beth. as usual, would not act herself.
She sent no ships from her own navy
to demand reparation. but she gave
the adventurers free hand.
The London and Plymouth citizens
determined to read Spain lesson
which should make an impression.
They had the worst fears for the fate
of the prisoners. but if they could not
save they could avenge them. Sir
Francis Drake. who wished for nothing
better than to be at work again. volun-

every one of them fitted out by pri-
vate enterprise. No finer armament,
certainly no better equipped arma-
ment, ever left the English shores.

HOW HISTORY IS MADE.

The following interesting little story
appears in Tendon weekly paper
called "Society:"
Talking Of the present Ministry, let
me give the true story Of Sir Grey's
making the grave statement in the
House of Commons. A friend of mine.a
rather brilliant man. was called upon
BY the editor Of weekly paper to
write the leader for him. The editor
has not yet thoroughly got over his
influenza. and the friend agreed to do
it. He wrote the leader on the French
aggressiveness in Africa, sent it to the
printers, where it was set up. and for
warded it to the editor. The latter.
not approving of the subject. trans
United the proof, and said. my dear
boy, you agreed to write on Armenia,
not Africa. This is of no sort of inter-
est to the general public. The wires
about the French on the Niger and the
reported march on the Soudan are
probably pure inventions. In any case,
the attack ON Sir E. Grey for his vague
generalities is hardly the thing" and
so on.
Ny friend simply took the proof. and
writing ON it, "This is going into an
important paper and is the true feeling
of the English people," popped it into
an envelope and sent it down to Sir E.
Grey at the House of Commons. 1t
was posted in the Strand at 4:l5 p. M,
and would be delivered at Westmin-
ster probably about $3.50 p. m. At s
p M. the meeting Of the Cabinet was
hastily convened by Sir E. Grey, and at
10 p m. he made the statement which
has shaken all the bourses of Europe.
The following morning came the ed
itorial wire to my friend. II see the

shall use it,"

AUTOMATIC BEAR.CATCHING.

Landing at Olutorsk, little trad
ing station on the northwest coast Of
Siberia, during my last trip to the
arctic" said Capt. Avery of the whale.
ship Grampus to New York Sun re-
porter. "some Chuckchee Indians from
inland came in, bringing reindeer meat
and peltries for sale. Among the
skins they brought was a huge bear
skin. which tried to buy. but could
not agree with the owner as to the
price. Through an interpreter ]
learned the curious way in which these
indians kill the bear. The KANT
Chatham bear is huge brown fellow.
often weighing over 1000 pounds. and
is very ferocious and hard to kill.
Such an animal is invulnerable to the
small darts which are tho Chuckchee's
missile weapons, and it is necessary to
cripple him before closing in with
spears.
"These bears inhabit ground which
is covered with dense .hickets. through
which they have paths and runways.
The latter are impenetrable to man,
except he crawl on hands and knees.
To circumvent the bear the Chuckchee
takes two pieces Of board about six ill.,
ches long and three inches wide,
through which he bores numerous
holes. Through the holes in each piece
he puts long iron nails, with their
points sbarpened. Then placing tho
backs of the pieces of the wood to.
gether he lashes them with thongs, thus
leaving the sharp ends of the nails pro-
iecting on either side. This curious i'm
plement of hunting he lays in the
runway where the bear tracks are
thickest, lightly covering it from view.
Presently the bear comes along,
his great forepaws each covering nearly
square foot of surface. and almost to
certainty he plants one forepaw upon
the nails, which penetrate and hurt
him. Rising upon his hind legs he
raises the paw to which the boards are
fastened by the nails. looks at it. and.
seeing the thing that has hurt him. be
strikes at it with his other paw to
knock it off. thereby driving the nails
from the side he hits into that paw.
Thoroughly angry. he now hauls
off and strikes with the first paw that
was pierced and the nails again pene-
trate that. So he goes on striking
with one paw and the other. driving
the nails deeper and deeper into the
flesh. until exhausted with pain and
rage he sinks to the ground. His
paws are now 81 sore that he cannot
travel far, and as far as he gees he
leaves trail of blood behind him.
Discovering this. the Indians follow
him up. and with their spears dispatch
him."

Two Catalogue Mistakes.

Booksellers are as liable to blunder as
authors, and an error, anticipated oddly
enough by Hook, occurred u year or two
ago when catalogue announced Shelley s

ridiculous error is the classification in the

EXCHANGE GOES
DOWN IN MEXICO.

Mexico City, March 25.-The
improvement in the price of
silver greatly stimulated the
buying of foreign exchange dur
ing the week, and many large
transactions have been made
by the banks on the United
States and other foreign toun-
tries, the appearances being
that exchange will continue to
go down. There is a probabil-
ity that the great plethora of
sixteen millions of Mexican sill
yer now lying in the banks of
this capital without use will be
relieved by loans solicited, and
that a decided stimulus will be
given foreign trade generally.

A BEAUTIFUL SAINT:
People of a Mexican Town Stir
red Up Over Alleged Mir
acies.

Ell Paso, Tex, March PA
well known Mexican gentleman
residing here has received a
letter from his sister in Presi-
dio del Norte, Mexico, in which
is said: 'There has arrived here
woman with a saint, which
she claims can do miraculous
things, like re7urrecting the
dead, etc. She also claims to
be the maiden Teresa de Co
vora' and she has so excited
the people that they are simply
crazy. The Mexican govern
ment ordered her arrest and
the religious fanatic opposed
the order and as a result one
man was killed in the fight and
Teoflo, the jefe politico, was
wounded in the shoulder on the
evening of his marriage. -Four
hundred armed men are at FL
Palvo, which faces ethe town of
Multato, where the fight occur
red. The people are crazy and
say there is no government to
respect except the beautiful
saint"
This is the same Teresa de
Covota" who was the cause Of
a bloody revolt at Tomochici
about fourteen months ago and
which resulted in the Mexican
authorities making the woman
leave the country. She crossed
to Nogales, Ariz., where it is
claimed by the MeXicans she
performed wonderful cures.
She disappeared from Nogales
and two weeks ago made her
in the village of
Ell Palvo and the letter above
quoted tells how she succeeded
in stirring up the people there.
She was arrested and confined,
but was released by a mob Of
Infatuated people, who believed
the maiden to be a saint, an in
spired messenger from the
other world, who had been sent
among them to relieve their
suffering and point the only
way that leads to the Holy
Virgin.

Stabbed ON THE STREET,
Complaints Made Against the Dclt
Line Railrond.


Not satisfied with curtaiing its railroad
service, the Belt Line railroad, according
to the complaint of residents in that neigh
borhood, has pre-empted the corner of 11th
ard streets northwest, and turned it into
a stable. Complaint was made to the Com
missloners some time ago, and yesterday
an Inspector was detailed to report the
facts. This was done TODAY and the re-
port set forth the facts as they were rep
resented. That 1t was q fact that the Belt
Line railroad made regular stopping
place of the corner of 1lth and 0 streets
northwest. and there made a change of
horses.
An examination of the place was made
by Star reporter today. The brown cars
are brought to a stop at this point and the
horses changed every trip. The residents
there say the street is constantly kept
filthy as natural consequence, and they
are much incUnvenienCed. On the south
side of the street, from two to six horses
are. they say, constantly standing, and the
oaths of the drivers and sta5lemen is not
sweet music 10 the ears of the peaceful
inhabitants. who do not believe the company
has u right 10 occupy the space. On ap-
pliCation to the Engineer Commissioner
this afternoon an expression! of his views
on the subject was politely declined. The
matter was being Investigated, he said, but
what action tie Commissioners would take
he was NJ loss TO say.
