Germ System Between the
United States and Great
Britain.

London, July 1.-THE Marqui. of
Salisbury laid before the House of Lords
today papers on the subject of arbitra-
ton. His lordship said that the nego-
tations between the United States and
Great Britain were not complete, but
that they are advancing amicably. On
the smaller question of Venezuela, re-
garding which the United States had as
sumed an attitude of friendly protection,
difficulties arose out of the fact that
Venezuela's claim placed two-thirds of
the colony of British Guiana sub
ject to arbitration. The first
thing to do was to ascer-
tain the real facts in regard to the con-
troversy from the history of Venezuela
When that had been fully ascertained by
a commission which both countries had
confidence in, he felt that the diplomatic
questions which would follow would not
be difficult Of adjustment, but even if
they should be those difficulties would be
overcome by arbitration. 1t had been
impossible to move faster, owing to the
absence of full knowledge Of the facts.
The labor involved had been enormous.
In regard to a general system of arbi-
tration between the United States and
Great Britain, Salisbury said there
would be difficulty in dealing
with cases SO large as to contain
issues of a vital character. After
much discussion with the United
States upon that point he thought the
tendency of the United States was 20
desire the rapid and summary decision
of a question The British government
thought that the principle of obliga tory
arbitration was attended with consider
able hazard. Proper machinery must be
first provided.
In recent cases the United States has
evinced a disposition to take up the
causes of many South American repub-
lies, but the government had not
Guarreled with that disposition. Great
Britain, his lordship added, had taken
similar interest in disputes regarding
the frontiers of Sweden, Holland,
Belgium and Portugal. In study
ing the welfare of neghboring
peoples, it is necessary to remember that
the claims on such peoples may possibly
become matter of arbitration and hence
it is necessary to guard against an oblig-
atory system of arbitration. For these
reasons his lordship said he had APP
preached the question with considera bic
caution.

Whom Are Now Under
Arrest.

Little Rock, Ark. July 1S.-The town
of Malvern, Ark. at the junction of the
Hot Springs railway. was almost entirely
wiped out by Gre at an early hour this
morning.
Malvern was little city of about 6000
inhabitants, the business portion Of the
place being clustered around the railroad
station. Ali this section WAS destroyed,
only three business houses. remaining.
The total loss is variously estimated at
from 100000 to 100000 only a small
portion of which is covered by insur-
ance.
The burned buildings include the rail-
road depot. two hotels. the bank and all
the principal business houses Of the
place. The fire is without doubt the re-
suit of a plot to destroy the town. The
blaze broke out about midnight in three
different places and as there was no APP
paratus the fire burned itself out. -Four
men are under arrest charged with start
ing the fire and the people of the town
are in such state of excitement that
there is a strong probability that the in
cendiaries will be sCmmarily dealt with.

RECOGNIZE OUR DOCTRINE.
London Press Thinks Lord Sails
bury Came PerilousIy Near
to Doing 1t.

London, July Recommending today up
on the correspondence OH the subject of
arbitration which the Marquis of Sails
bury laid before the House of Lords on
Yesterday, the Globe expresses the opin-
ion that the British premier has been
perilously near recognition of the Monroe
doctrine. On this point the Globe says:
1--WE must beware of weakening IN the
slightest degree the position hitherto
maintained by Great Britain
The Globe also thinks that the foreign
office has been altogether too complacent
in respect to the Venezuelan question
itself and trusts that there is no dispo-
sltion on the part of the government to
recede from the determination not to rec
ognize the American commission.
I'm regard to a treaty of arbitration"
continues the Globe, ''our experience with
the United States has been uniformly dis
couraging, as, for instance, in the cases
of the Alabama claims and the Behring
sea seal fisheries dispute
The Pail Mail Gazette says that both
sides in the correspondence have shown
a disposition to discuss each possible So
luton in a conciliatory spirit, they be-
ing propelled towards a settlement by the
dynamic forces of good will.

HOW JOSE MACEO DIED.
Onderestimated the Strength of the
Spaniards and was Killed
in Retreat.

Havana, July 17.-Private advices give
an entirely different account of the death
OF Jose Maceo, the insurgent leader,
IMAM the versions which have heretofore
been given out. According to this story,
after the insurgent colonel Caratagena
had been killed in the enga cement in the
Cato hills, Maceo with his staff and es-
cort put himself at the head of the
forces and led in a dash by which he.
hoped to surprise the Spaniards He
had, however, made a serious miscalcula-
ton and found himself confronted by a
strong force in superior position. See
ing his error, Maceo shouted to his fol-
lowers: Back; let us retreat; there are
too many for u.s." AS he uttered the
last word a rife ball struck him in the
back of the neck and passed through his
head, emerging between his eyes. The,
volley that killed Jose Maceo also slew
his friend. DIR. Peructo Echavarria, and
several members of his staff

the knowledge, that SO many forms OF

all important, in order to get its bene-
