CHAMBERLAIN ANSWERS SHERMAN
tie Makes The Claim ofInconsistcncy
Against the American
f,,a,,n,ent

london, Sept. 2l.-Ihc secretary CT state
Cor colonies, Chamberlain, in a long Letter
from the colonial office to the foreign or
See, signed by Edward Wingfield, assist
ant under the secretary OF state, Is pup
lished by the Times today, dealing with
Sherman's dispatch to Salisbury on the
Behring sea controversy, also says:
chamberlain can pass Sherman's at
tack unnoticed because his silence might
be construed as an admission that the dis
patch is unanswerable. From II perusal
Of Sherman's dispatch II might be M
ferred that protection and preservation OF
fur sealing was identical with the sup
preston of pelagic sealing. This view IS
consistent with the attitude of the United
States and has been maintained from he
outset. In support of its views the United
States government departed from the
noblcst traditions of the country which
had earned universal honor by
efforts to vindicate the freedom
of the high seas. The ma
ton which is now Jealous for the pro-
hibition of pelagic sealing was in 1872 with
equal zeal asserting a claim of the right
for its citizens not only to kill seals on the
high seas. but land. and slaughter them
on the shore of a friendly nation
Chamberlain elaborated on this point
relating to the incident of the seizure of
the scaling vessel Parrot at Buenos Ayres
in 1892, adding: The shores of the Priby-
loft islands today are equally as %uninhab-
tied as the shores of the Falkland Terra
Del Fuego fifty years ago, but no British
subject ever claimed the right to land and
kill seals there as the United States did on
the South Atlantic under the protection
of the guns of an American ma~n-of-war."

There are only five states in the un-

Missouri.
Measured by population, therefore.
Greater Ne" York mas the Importance

Now, place along side that fact an
other fact equally salient. Within the
boundaries of Greater New York tn re
is property OF the assessed value CT
over $2,732, 900. 900.
There is not II state in the union
except New York itself, whose as
sessed valuation. by the census of 1890.
was equal to 81 32. 0u0, 900. Not even
the valuation OF the populcus and
wealthy state of Pennsylvania was on
a par with that of the territory en-
braced by our consolidated city.
Measured by wealth. therefore.
Greater New York has the Importance
of the first state in the union. for it's
wealti. exceeds that of any other state
except New York. and is by far the
larger fraction of the total wealth of
the empire state.
When they come to rhoosc a mayer

SPANIARDS DEC0YED INTO A TRAP
Cubans Fcisn Retreat and Draw
Soldiers Into an AM
buscade.

Havana, Sept. 22.--General Caiixto
Garcia has announced his intention of
driving the Spaniards out of eastern
Cuba.
His latest movement was against
ManZanillo, one of the most important
seaports on the southern coast. On Sat
urday last 1000 rebels. under command
of Brigadier Salvador Rios, appeared
before that town and called upon the
garrison to surrender. In reply the
Spanish commander, Brigadier Toral,
sent out a column of men.
The rebls feigned retreat, and the
Spanish troops, encouraged by what
they thought a cowardly flight, pressed
after the nemy. The flight and pur-
suit lasted for two kilometers, when, at
the sta of Tranquilisad the rebels
turned and. with reinforcements that
a been lying in ambush, fell upon the
Spanish rear.
The result was a veritable slaughter.
The Spanish put their loss down at los
killed and siXty-nine wounded. but 9TH
er adviceS state that out of the column
only three men escaped to return to
M%anzanillo. The others were killed,
wounded or taken prisoners.
Although expected advices from Ca
masuey nave not arrived. the news of
the election of DR.. Domingo Mendez-
Capote as Cuba's new president is con-
irmed. l have it also on good author
ity:
That Bartolome Masso was reelected
as vice president.
That Salvado Clsneros was elected
president of congress-.
That General Maxine Gomez has been
made minister of war.
That General Calixto Garcia was APP
pointed commander in chief.
h election promised at its con-
mencement to be a lively one. There
was a great deal of friction between rival
chiefs. but the astute old Gomez
smoothed the whole difficulty over by
putting forward Domingo Mendez-Ca-
pote.
Although i: would appear that Men
dez-Capote Was selected as a sort of
compromis-, his election will prove a
most fortunate one for the Cuban cause.
On every hand 1 hear him spoken Of
with admiration and respect.
Garcia's election as commander IN
chief was brought about by the desire 10
have a Cuban at the head of the army.
but as minister of war Gomez will CON
tinue to practically direct operations.
