Love of Peace Had Been Taken
as a Sign of the Nations
Weakness.
as TO THE FLYING SQUADRON
Not Intended as a Menace to Any
Country, but for Use in an
Emergency.

LONDON, Eng, Jan. 21.-The Right
Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of
State for the Colonies, delivered a speech
tonight at banquet given by natives Of
Queensland residing or visiting in London.
A few weeks ago, he said, Great Britain
seemed to stand alone, surrounded by
jealous competitors, and was assailed with
altogether unexpected host ility. Long
standing differences appeared to suddenly
come to a head and assume threatening
proportions.
The quarters whence she might have
looked for friendship and consideration
confronted her instead with suspicion and
even hate. England mad to recognize that
her success, however legitimate was i'm
puted as q crime; that love of peace
was taken as a sign of weakness, and her
indifference to foreign criticism as an in
vitation TO insult.
He regretted to be forced to admit that
such feelings existed, but he rejoiced, see-
ing that they did exist, that they had
found expression. No better service had
ever been done the nation for it had
enabled her to show her face to the
world. England, while resolute to
fulfill her obligations, was equally
determined to maintain her rights.
[Cheers. England, If isolated, stood
secure in the strength of her own re-
sources, in the firm resolution of her peo-
pie, without respect TO party, and in the
abundant loyalty of her children from one
end of the empire to the other.
At the CONCLUSION of has speech, Mr..
Chamberlain was heartily cheered and ap-
plauded.
The Right Hon. George j. Goschen,
First Lord of the Admiralty, made speech
at Grinstead to-day, in the course of which
he said he wished to dissipate the alarm
ing Tumors that were in circulation.
Referring to the flying squadron he said it
was intended for use in case of
an emergency in any direction.
1t would 90 to Berehaven without
taking sealed or other orders except to
proceed to that place and await instruc-
tions. The squadron was not intended as
a menace to any country, nor was it des-
tined for any particular quarter of the
world. 1t would be used as other squad
rons are used.
Mr.. Goschen appealed 10 the public if
lhey nedrO tnaI the squadron has been
ordered anywhere not TO imagine that it
had been sent to menace anybody. The
disposal of the squadron could not be
guided by political considerations while
the situation remained as it is now.
He denied the rumor that the Govern
ment meditated placing another squadron
in commission. Nevertheless it could not
afford to rest on its oars. 1t did not pro-
pose to adopt sensational measures, but
would continue as hitherto to steadily
augment the number of ships, guns and
men in order to maintain supremacy on
the sea and to secure the nation from
panic whenever there were clouds on the
political horizon.
The announcement is made that the re-
view of the flying squadron by the Queen
has been postponed until Wednesday.

IN THE DISPUTED 1ERRIroRr.
Gold Miners Working Along the OrSnocO

RiUer.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 21.-L. w.
Adams, mining engineer from the dis
puted Venezuelan territory, arrived in this
city today on the British steamship
Schihallin, from Demerara.
He has been working in the Venezuelan
gold fields as the representative of the
New York and Guiana Gold Syndicate
Company. When he left the Orinoco
River everything was quiet, but the miners
were still at work in the disputed territory,
the gold having been discovered to be
richer as the rivers trace towards the Bra
zillan border line.
There was but little excitement at the
actual scene of the trouble, but at Caracas,
La Guayra and other cities in Venezuela
excitement against the English ran high.
At st. Lucia, the British eoaling sta
ton, where the Schihaliin stopped to fill
her bunkers, the English Government was
landing thousands of tons of coal
This is the nearest station to Venezuela
and the only place where, in the event OF
war, coal could be procured to supply the
British warships. Mr.. Adams states that
hundreds of gold miners have recently
arrived at the gold fields from the Un tied
States.

ANTONIO EzETA'S CRUISES,
Munitions of War on the Barclay
Golden Narrowly Escape
Seizure.
The Campaign Against Salvador Has
Ended in the Usual
FiZZle

PANAMA, COLOMBIA, Jan. 21.-The Star
and Herald says: The vessel Barclay
Golden, which arrived here yesterday hav-
ing on board General Antonio Ezeta and a
number of others who are alleged to be
filibustars against Salvador, is supposed to
have on board a quantity of arms 1t was
the intention of the authorities here to
seize them, but Mr.. Vifquain, the Amer
lean Consul, found that the Barclay
Golden's papers were in proper shape and
he protested to the Governor against the
seizure of anything on board of her. The
result of his protest was that the Governor
promised not to seize the arms.
The Barclay Golden is a vessel of only
$50 tons burden, with crew of eight men.
She had on board ten passengers, includ-
ing Generals Antonio Ezeta, Casin and
Villatoro. The master of the vessel, Cap
tain Hansen, and the crew made affidavits
before Consul Vifqualn that the vessel was
chartered at San Francisco for legitimate
business by General Casin.
When she arrived at Acapulco, General
Ezeta and the other passengers boarded
her. Soon after it was discovered that the
passengers baggage contained munitions
VI wal nc SapeaAh was lO
stop at San Salvador, and some of the
party landed. They soon afterward re-
turned and fired shots at people on shore.
Ezeta's men having been guilty OF
mutiny the United States warship Alert
will prevent them from having anything
further to do with the vessel.
The object of the Colombian Govern
ment in desiring to seize the arms and
ammunition on board the vessel was to
prevent the Liberals here from getting
possession of the war material, as it was
feared they might do.

beyond recognition and were identified
only by means of peculiarities of clothing
or by papers in the pockets.
The losses and insurance are as follows

The building was valued at $15, Zoo, and
is insured for that sum. It is altogether
within the bounds of possibility that all of
the insurance policies may be subject to
contest, and, indeed, may be invalidated
1t seems that the insurance companies re-
gard acetylene gas and the materials which
enter into Its manufacture in the same
light as they do gasoline, and do not per-
nit the gas TO be made or used in any in
sured building without a special permit.
The insurance agents who placed the poll
cies on the burned building said tonight
that no such permits had been issued by
them.

FOR CORDIAL SETTLEMENT.
Correspondent SmGILeY Says That Is TIE
Desire OF Diplomats.

" 1DADtOHtutS-
LONDON, Eng, Jan. 21.-The Times
tomorrow will give unusually promi-
nence to Washington dispatch
sent to it by its correspondent,
Mr.. Smalley, asserting that he
has personal knowledge of the existence in
the White House and the State Depart
ment of a strong and cordial wish for an
early and complete settlement of the dis
pute with Great Britain on terms that will
involve no discredit to either Government
and also the existence of the belief that
such settlement may be speedily reached.
Mr. Smalley adds that good advice has
already been given TO Venezuela and may
be given more effectively.
The Times, commenting oil the forego-
ing and Mr.. Smalley's assertion that there
had been a sudden chenge in the spirit of
the Senate, will express its pleasure at the
cheering news. The absence of desire to
hasten Senator Davis resolution, it says,
will allow time for the forces that are work
ing for peace to operate.
The paper notes the conciiatory and
modest language of Justice Brewers let
ter 10 Secretary Olney, but says it must be
obvious to the Americans themselves that
and the manner in which its creation is
regarded in the United States make it al
together Impossible for Great Britain to
recognize its doings either directly or indi-
rectlv.
Lord Salisbury's original objection to ar
bitrate concerning districts settled years
ago by British subjects and under British
law still holds good, but the American
Government must be well aware of the
perfect willingness on this side TO
discard the Schomb burg line and arbitrate
on all the disputed territory, exclad-
ing only the districts the British or Vene-
zrelans have permanently settled. This
basis for negotiations is open for Vene-
zuela to seek at any time. 1t certainly
would not be rejected here, bat it is i'm

sion'S First Act.
LONDON, Eng, Jan. 21.-The Globe this
afternoon comments angrily on the letter
of the United States Venezuelan Commits
sion, suggesting that Great Britain and
Venezuela be invited to submit to the
commission all of the evidence in their
possession. The Globe says:
Great Britain will never allow this
monstrous claim to determine the territory
of British colony within its jurisdiction.
No power could admit it except at the close
of long and disastrous war. Were such
demand made by any other power, our
only reply would be to hand its Embassa-
dor his passports and mobilize the fleet.

dertake to answer for the effect upon their
own countrymen of forcing the Premier
to snub the American Secretary of State"

building at Ais North Broadway, occupied
by A. S. Aloe & Co., opticians. The rear
of the building abuts on ten-foot alley,
and through this alley runs a mass of cleo
trio wires, which rendered the work of the
firemen difficult and hazardous Three
men were shocked into insensibility by
contact with wires, and Foreman Hynes
of an engine company fell from a ladder
and was seriously injured. Twenty-Five
streams of water were poured ineffectively
upon the blaze.
While the salvage corps was covering
showcases on the second floor the floor
collapsed and went to the basement. Four
of the salvage men are in the ruins, and
there Is no hope of rescuing them. They
are in the center of the building, covered
with wreckage and heavy packing cases.
Cries for help grew fainter as time passed,
and at IL o'clock they had ceased. Their
names are: Refine Miller. James Roddy,
John GIenville and Harry Kirley.
While the firemen were working to save
their unfortunate comrades the fire took a
new start, and the rescue was for the time
abandoned. The stock was the most COM
plete of its character in the West, and the
loss will be fully $500. 900. Insurance is
ample. Adjoining business houses sui
fered considerably from water and smoke.
