put where they were found, the purpose being to restore the vessel and contents to their exact condition 1t the time of the seizure.
 As far as the government is concerned, the Bermuda was practically free this afternoon, but there yet remained upcn her the libel obtained by the J. N. Robins company, dry dock and outfitting firm, for $1100 and some odd dollars. The suit upon which this was obtained was set tied shortly after o'clock this after noon and the Bermuda is now free from all detention.
 Lawyer E. R. Olcott, who represents General Garcia and his associates, who are awaiting examination on a charge of having violated the neutrality laws, said today that the seizure of the explosives upon the J. $. T. Stranahan would be contested upon the claim that the boxes had been properly marked. The case will come up in the United States court March T. Late this afternoon Marshal Mccarthy and deputies went on board the Bermuda and arrested Thomas Nel- son, chief engineer: James Howden, sec ond engineer and c. c. Taylor, chief steward, to be held as witnesses. They were brought before Judge Brown of the United States district court who fixed the bail in each case at $500, and pending the filing of bonds the men were detained in the marshal's office.
 After waiting until , o'clock for bail bonds for the three men detained as wit nesses the marshal allowed them to go in the custody of their counsel, E. R. Ol- colt, who promised to produce them to- morrow morning

COLD COMFORT FOR CLARKE
Mr. H. H. Brown Cannot Get Anybody to Lis ten to His Speeches, but Crowds Go
 to Hear Captain Johnston.

Hartselle, March 3-(Special)-W. W. Callahan, the Clarke campaign manager in Morgan, had an appointment to speak in Cedar Plains precinct yesterday and only five voters turned out to hear him. He did not speak. This precinct has been boiled, and out of seventy-five democrats there are only three for Clarke; all the rest are Johnston men today.
 Callahan and H. H. Brown of Birming- ham had an appointment to speak at Shady Grove, five miles from Hartselle. They went and stayed four hours and only three voters came out. They did not speak. They came to Hartselle dis gusted with their trip. Shady Grove pre- cinct has been boiled and the democratic vote stands Johnston 60, Clarke 3.
 It is understood that MT. Brown has been detailed to come to Morgan to tell the voters that Jefferson county is going for Clarke, but it seems ne cannot get the voters out to tell them this news.
 Capt. Joseph F. Johnston and Con- gressman Bankhead spoke at Somerville today to an audience of 150 people. They made fine speeches, which were appre- ciated by the people. They were fire. quently and loudly applauded.
 The Somerville precinct is the fourth largest precinct in the county, and there is absolutely no doubt of Captain John ston carrying the same. The indica- tions are that Johnston will get almost two to one over Clarke in the primary. The Clarke people are disheartened, and are conceding the county. The only question is the majority for Johnston.

IN FAVOR OF ARBITRATION
MT. Gladstone Regrets the Growth of Bar
 barous Miltarism.
SYMPATHIZlNG WITH THE ARMENlANS
Messrs. Smith and Curzon Speak on the Resolution in the House of Commons. Women Cannot Take Degree
 at Oxford.

London, March 3.-An Anglo-American demonstration in favor of arbitrating dis putes between the United States and Great Britain was held at Queens hall, in this city, today. Sir James Stanfeld, who was formerly president of the local government board, pres. ded. There was a large attendance and the greatest en- thusiasm was manifested The chairman read number of letters of sympathy from we'll known men, including Mr. Gladstone, John Morley member of par liament and formerly chief secretary for Ireland; James Bryce, member of par liament; Edward White Benson, arch bishop of Canterbury, and others.
 MT Gladstone in his letter alluded to his share in the Alabama arbitration and said he regretted the continuous growth of barbarous miltarism, to which Great Britain had no small share of responsi- bility.
 The chairman said he believed that the Venezuelan question, which first was fraught with danger, would prove a blessing.
 A motion offered by George Shaw-Le- fevre, for some time postmaster-general that memorial in favor of arbitration should be forwarded to President Cleve- land was carried with exclamation.
 A. J. Mundella, member of parliament, formerly president of the board of trade, then submitted a motion approving CO., operation to secure the holding in Wash ington of a national arbitration conven- tion. This motion was also adopted amid much enthusiasm.
 At a meeting of the convocation of Ox- ford university held today the proposal to allow women to take degree was re- jected by vote of 215 to 140
 In the house of commons today Mr George N. Cursor, under secretary of foreign affairs, replying to questions made a statement that the government had heard nothing of the porte's having declined to issue passports to persons desiring to go to the distressed districts of Asia Minor in consequence of the Turkish officials there having seized, for the payment of taxes, moneys which had been sent for relief purposes. Sir Philip Currie, British ambassador to Turkey. he said, had been instructed to make in quiries.
 Mir. Samuel Smith, liberal member for Flintshire, then opened the debate on a resolution of sympathy with the Ar menians.
 MT. Curzon followed MT. Smith and in timated that the government will accept the latter's motion. He argued that the reasons against Great Britan's inde- pendent action in the Armenian matter were as much geographical as political Between any port at which Great Brit ain could land an armed force and the scene of the outrages there must be en- countered 100000 Turkish troops. The crusade of the nineteenth century, he added, must have practical as well as a chivalrous aspect They would not in the future abate it's efforts in behalf of the Armenians
 Regarding the past MT. Curzon said he expected the house was convinced that the government could not have gone fur ther than it had.
 The debate lasted well into the night.

New York, March 3.-The United States government has abandoned all claim of right to detain the alleged flibustering steamship Bermuda and the lighter J. S. IT. Stranahan and their cargoes. except ing in the case of the explosive found upon the latter, which, it is alleged, was packed in boxes not marked as re- auired by law. Today United States District Attorney McFarlane instructed Marshal Mccarthy to this effect and the latter immediately took steps to turn over the vessels and other rropo.ty to the Cuhans. The si00o Tn silver taken from the Bermuda was taken on board that vessel and returned to the place from which it had been taken, and charts. in- struments and other articles were also

SPAIN OFFERED HELP.
Foreigners Want to Protect the Spanish Se
 curlties Which They Hold.

T
 curlties Which They Hold.
 Madrid, March 3.-The government has received a number of offers of pecuniary the United States growing out of the at titude of the latter on the Cuban ques- ton. The people appear to be deter mined to uphold the government in it's intention to keep Cuba a Spanish colony no matter at what cost. The cabinet is greatly encouraged by the attitude of the continental press, which, generally speak ing, expresses much sympathy with Spain in her determina tion to resent what is termed yankee aggression. One inn portant factor in the support accorded the government, swhich seduously kept in the background, is that Cuban de- bentures and other securities depending for their value upon the income derived from Cuba are held to a large amount by foreign capitalists. With a free Cuba these securities would be practically worthless, and this accounts in a very great measure for the attitude of many of the foreign newspapers, which speak not so much because they believe that the United States have any ulterior motive in recognizing the Cubans as belligerents as because they are defending the finan- cial interests of capitilists of their coun- tries. In Spain itself, however, the sup port of the government Is due to pure patriotism. Among the offers of assist ance the government has received is one from the Spanish Transatlantic com pany, which has offered to place It's en- tire fleet of steamships at the disposal of the government, making no conditions whatever The offer has been accepted and eight of the steamers will be armed with from nine to twelve centimetre guns. Compressed sawdust will be used as protection for the guns If events shall necessitate such action these ves- sels will be used as cruisers and priva- teers.

Government suppressing the News.

Rome, March 3.-The government still lacks or is withholding full details of the disastrous battle with the Abyssinans. Orders were given some time ago for the exclusion of newspaper correspondents from the Italian lines, and a strict censor ship has since been maintained over press fuli story of the Italian defeat to be known. As a result the comparative scantiness of news causes the widest sort of speculation, and all kinds of undoubtedly exaggerated reports are in circulation.
 The newspapers here teem with reports of deductions, estimates and comments. All of them, with the exception of the Ezricto, military journal, ascribe the disaster to General Baratieris supposed rashness anI his desire to achieve a victory that would 1t is the opinion here that General Bara- tieris force numbered 15 GOO men, opposed to whom were S0 600 Abyssinians.
