The French Chamber Of Deputies has approved
the foreign policy OF the Government. There
will. therefore. probably be no Ministerial crisis
for some time to come. This action does not
signify, however that the Ministry commands a
stable majority In the Chamber. On the con-
trary there ls strong reason to believe 1t does
not command such a majority. But the Deputies
are weary OF Cabinet changes. and 20. rather
than precIpitnte another crisis they give the Gov
ernment a vote OF confidence. That Is doubtless
the explanation OF the vote in favor OF an in
come tax as well OF this latest vote on foreign
policy

NEW. YORK, March 12.-Relative to
the causes of Ballington Booths re-
tirement from the command of the
Salvation army in the United States.
the following is published here:
Some time ago Ballington Booth
submitted to his father twenty-five
grievances and asked for remedy and
relief from them. The principal one
was concerning the War Cry super
iannuation fund"
The sale of the War Cry in this
country was sanctioned by General
Booth, who agreed to 10 per cent of
the sales belag set apart for a fund
for disabled and superannuated sold
iers- 1t was with this agreement and
understanding that the paper was sold
in this country. This fund now
amounts to probably $4,000 or $4,000.
Some time ago. it is claimed, General
Both sent for this money, which he in
tended using for army purposes else
where, thus diverting it from it's
original purpose. BaIIington Booth de-
clined to accede to this demand, and
said the fund was for the American
army superannuated soldiers, and not
for the extension of the army
Immediately on receipt of this Bal
lington Booths removal was ordered,
which led to his resignation. BalIing-
ton Booth, it is added, has refrained
from stating his true position out of
consideration for his father.

The Bermuda.

NEW YORK, March 12-Tne steamer
Bermuda is the subject of numerous
rumors, but at a late hour last night
she rode at anchor, seemingly glad to
be in out of the storm. A dozen or
more of the crew hailed passing tug
and went ashore yesterday. As they
carried their baggage it was evidently
their intention to stay ashore.
The tug w. ]. NIcCalswain took out
number of mysterious looking men
last night, so it was said. and it is sup
posed that they were carried to the
Bermuda to be shipped in place of the
men who came ashore. On board the
released steamship the greatest nys-
terry was preserved.
John Haggerty and John McClaln,
who said they were members OF the
Bermuda crew. called upon United
States Commissioner Shields and asked
Tor information as to how they could
collect months pay, which they said
was due them They said they shipped
on the Bermuda, supposing her to be
freighter bound for Jamaica. Accord
ing to the story told by the two men,
the other members of the crew left the
ship because they had become con-
WINGED that the vessel was engaged for
a revolutionary expedition. The two
men also said it was also generally I'M
derstood aboard the Bermuda that q
cargo of arms and ammunition was to
be shipped some time in the night on
early morning
AT an early hour this morning the
Bermuda was still anchored.

I NEW YORK, March 12.-Colonel
of General Maceo of Cuba, is in this
I.city on a secret mission. He will re-
turn to Cuba in a few days. In an
interview last night he said: when
1 left Cuba General Gomez and General
Macy were very we'll satisfied with
the conditions existing, and hoped to
be able to do something more decisive
in the near future. The raid through
the central provinces brought good re-
suits The CubanS gained arms, am
munition and men. Many Spanish vol
unteers have taken the field with them.
In the eastern part of the island over
1000 Spanish soldiers have deserted to
the Cubans.
Since then there has been re
organization and some changes. Maceo
and Gomez are about to unite their
forces again. They now have an army
of about $4,000 men il the central prov
inces. The Cubans have throughout
the island about $4,000 armed men and
about 10000 partially armed. Of the
armed men about one-third are caVal-
rymen, who have plenty of good horses.
The Spanish mounted infantry are no
match for them. Many of the Span
they charge they cling with both
hands to the pommels of their saddles
and do not control their horses.
"Since General Weyler took control
the Spaniards have done nothing.
They have a, great many flying col
umns in the field, but they are always
at the rear guard. following along and
never by any chance coming in con-
tact with the vanguard. That is the
reason that General Maceo was able to
pass from the province of Pinar del
Rio to the province of Havana without
firing a shot, though the Spanish army
marched through the region. 1 was
in the ten years war and saw the
Spaniards fight like demons. Now there
is a change. They seem to have no
heart for their work. They fight walk
ly and do not seem to care how The
battle may go.
The Spaniards appear to be very
much demoralized, both on account OF
the movements of the Cubans and the
action of the American congress. The
resolutions passed by the house and
senate have given much joy to the Gu
ban leaders. / had no trouble in get
ting away from Cuba. In fact there
were many facilities. I left the island

the United States Spanish privateers
would prey upon American commerce and
whether, in view of the complications and
injuries, British trade would suffer from
such an event or in the case of war be-
tween Great Britain and a country which
had not acceded to the declaration of
Paris, the government would consider the
whole effects of the declaration of Paris
and the adviSability of Great Britain
withdrawing therefrom.
The first lord of the treasury, Mr. \. ).
Balfour, in reply, said that the govern
ment does not question SPANS right IN
the matter; but, in view of the fact that
no privateers have been used in any
war since 1856, even by the powers not
acceding to the declaration of Paris, ana
that the doctrine that neutral flag COW
ers an enemy's goods except contraband of
war, has been generally accepted during
recent years it may be doubted II Spain
would actually resort to such measures.
Regarding the latter part OF Mr.
Bowles' question MIR. Balfour said that
while fully admitting that the eTentuallty
mentioned might have an important bear
ing upon the interests of neutral coun-
tries. he did not think anything could be
gained by an expression of opinion upon
the part of the government OF any NY
pothetical case. This answer, however.
did not satisfy Mr.. Rowles and he pressed
Mr.. Balfour for more explicit reply,
whereupon the first lord of the treasury
said that an expression of opinion at the
present moment might be ineXpedient. He
had consulted with the admiralty and his
colleagues on the subject and believed
he was correct in saying there had been
a general acceptance by all the powers,
though not as a formal treaty, that
neutral flag covers enemy's goods except
contraband of war.

thing TO do with the change of attitude
