| TO the position Of the British govern
ment on the proposed Boring sea confer
| ence. This proves to be much more
| complete than the brief cable reports
| from London indicate, as the depart
ment has been advised not only OF
| Great Britain's declination to enter a
conference unless il is limited to the
experts Of the United States, Great Bri-
tain and Canada, but also has been in
formed quite fully as 10 what led the
Marquis of Salisbury to this conclusion.
The British view, as laid before the
state department, is that at no stage
OF the negotiations has the British gov
eminent agreed TO a conference except
that between the experts OF Great
Britain, Canada and the United States
1t is not questioned that Secretary Saer-
man and Ambassador Hay made sug-
gestions that the conference should be
between the powers interested and
that some of the notes from the United
States authorities expressed a desire to
have Russia and Japan take jart in
the conference. But ii is pointed out
that these suggestions came from the
United States and until accepted would
have no effect in determining the ma
ture Of the conference. So far as the
suggestions We're accepted, the note of
Lord Salisbury of July IS is said to
stand alone, and this note, il is stated,
mentioned only a conference between
the experts OF the United States, Great
Britain and Canada. The latest CORES
pondence on the subject leaves consid-
cradle doubt as TO who will participate
in the coming meeting.
l. mas been understood that the differ
ence will be bridged over by holding two
meetings, in ore Of which Russia and
Japan will participate without Great
Britain. while a second meeting would
be held between the experts Of Great
Britain and the United States. 1t is I'M
derstOod that Ambassador Hay was di-
rected to effect such an arrangement in
case Great Britain declined 70 enter the
general conference, but there is now
some question whether the British au-
thorities viii participate in any way I'M
Ill a definite decision is reached as 10
VINO will take? part in the general con-
ference, as there is understood to be a
reluctance on the part Of the British Is
join in a dual conference: and some
doubt whether the British experts VIII,
leave for this country to attend either
a general or a limited conference, until
an understanding is reached on the en-
tire subject. AS the conference is so
near al hand, the first plan having been
10 hold ii October 90. negotiations are
necessarily conducted by cable. and by
this means a satisfactory adjustment
may yet be reached.

Mr. Dunwell

In the issue of the 9th inst, in con-

ages would be awarded to him, an ac-
count was given as the career here of
Jas. Dureell, who was arrested during
the Revolution of 1895, as a suspect.
On the 2Sth inst, it was published in
the Advertiser that instead of Durrell
it was Dunwell, another man locked
up in January 1895, who would receive
damages. There was failure to state
