they might be making extensive military

About the war sentiment I'M Cuba, the
Spanish officials said nothing TO me that
indicated an expectation Of war The only
thing that could be construed to give that
impression is the mounting Of a battery
of heavy sea coast guns along the coast

fifteen of these that extend perhaps a
mile or a mile and a half north of he limits

to-day of about sixty motor cars and
cvcles. under the auspices of the Mo
tor Car Club, i'm an inaugural journey
from London to Brighton. this being
the date when the new highway act
comes into force. The start was pre-
ceded by a breakfast az the Meropole,
after which the chairman, the Earl OF
Wfnchelsea. amid loud cheers, tore
up the red flag. which, according to the
law. has hitherto been necessary to
carry i'm front of road motors. A num-

system. and to the Great Wheelless
Carriage Company. The British Motor
syndicate. which has acquired all the
principal patents for Great Britain, is
represented by over a dozen cars and
vans and the Pennington carriage. an
American invention, has also entered.
The start was made from the hotel at
1880 a. m. Luncheon was served en-
route at Reigate, and upon arrival at
Brighton. a dinner was served at the
Hotel MetrOpOle.
The first motor that reached Three

rest of the time was busy at the hotel,
and did not keep the run of the pro-
ceedings. I believe this evidence is
rubbish. He is probably in the employ
of the British government and his sto-
ry is told in order to make a bluff at
earning his salary. As to the secret
meetings, they are more sanguinary
than real. I do not know of anything
except the caucuses which are usual

New York, November 1.-Two edi-
torials, as well as some small items,
from the pen of Thomas Merrick Jones
appeared in the Irish Republic during
the absence of c. orc. Mclaughlin, the
editor of that paper through illness.
One, headed "Unmasked, denounced
Joseph Chamberlain, British colonial
secretary, in unmeasured terms, just
after he had landed in New York on his
recent visit here. 1t is said that the re-
suit of this article was to have Mr..
Chamberlain placed under the protec-
ton of detectives during his stay in
America.
The editorial which Occasioned the
greatest excitement among Irishmen
and denunciation by them generally,
was published in the Irish Republic on
September IS, last, a week after Dr..
Thomas Gallagher, who was released
from Portland prison, had arrived
here.
Jones was one of the amnesty COM
mittee. which received Gallagher, and
his denunciation Of the Doctors prison
