AMERICA BE SILENT!
Polite Notification Coming From
Europe To That Effect.
Powers Could Not Remain impas-

LONDON, England. Dee. 29-The Times
publishes dispatch from Paris saying thai
the United States has been confidently IN
formed in the most friendly terms that the
European powers could not remain impas-
doning the attitude OF President Cleveland
and his cabinet.
Should the United States presume to eN-
ercise pressure on Spain by recognizing the
Cuban insurgents or encouraging them ia
their resistance. it has been informed that
Europe generally might become uneasy at
the idea of such an extension Of interna-
tional action by the United States. inasmuch
"a it might at given moment threaten al
most all the powers whose possessions are
in close proximity to the United States, and
might tempt the spirit of enterprise and en-
croachment that is inspiring the Senate
cOmmitte on foreign relations.
IF continues the writer. Il am correctly
informed. the United States has be en- con
currently informed that Germany is already
prepared to side with Spain in the event of
the United States. showing that she is dis
posed officially To side with the rebels.
Moreover academic conversations are
proceeding in certain foreign offices anent
the measures the powers should take to form

An Ancient House in New Mexico.

In Santa Fc are the military head
quarters for New Mex'c lit being a so
the oldest military establishment in
America, created by the Spaniards IN
IN 1901, and IN almost continuous &C.
cupation ever since. Here, too, is the
oldest house in the United States, in
which Coronado Is said To have lodged
IN 1910, and perhaps, even more inter
estiug, hers is the oldest church, Sam
Miguel, built about 1545, partially de-
stroyed iii 1850, wholly restored in
ITO, the restorerS leaving intact all
that was possible of the old roof, hewn
by Indians under the guidance of the
fathers.
In this church is the great bell, al.
most solid. cast in 1886, and having
an inscription in Spanish round it as
band, the letters and figures being
still well raised in the solid casting.
This bell was brought over from Spain
aud hung i'll the tower, but finally be-
ing thought too heavy for the tower,
was removed to n substantial timber
support in the entrance to the church.
In the cathedral and other churches
are remarkable reredoses, paintings
and vestments, many of them of con-
siderable antiquity, all inviting the
visitors to linger in this home of the
past.

Naval Pigeon Service.

In view OF the movement recently
made in this country IN favor Of
military pigeon message service. n II
interesting To note that the British
Government has decided 10 establish
a service OF carrier-pigeons for use by
the army and navy. In this matter,
Great Britain has hitherto Jagged far
behind most OF the Continental Powers
which of recent years have devoted
considerable outlay and attention upon
the development Of au efficient service
of carrier pigeons. This Development
has reached its highest point IN Ger-
many and France. In the former u
sum of Sl2, 500 Is annually set aside
from the war budget for the training
and support of carrier-plgeons. Every
fortress aud military camp of the
frontier hos its columbary supplied
with trained birds, housed ready for
emergencies. The birds aggregate
about 10000, and every bird Is num-
bered and registered, and can he
claimed 10y the authorities should the
need occur. Not one of the birds can
he taken out Of the country without
official sanction. 1t Is estimated that
from the reserve so formed the Coy
ernment can draw from %, 600 TO 3D.
900 birds, all trained and ready for use.
Equal care is bestowed on pigeon train
ing in France. The principal station is
at the great military camp at Chalons;
but there are depots in all the frontier
towns and fortrcsses. From these out
lying posts It regular pigeon mail ser
vice To the headquarters Is main
tanned. Three times a week num-
her of birds are taken by traiu to GER
tain points on the frontier, where they
are liberated. A careful record Is kept
of their number. and the time occupied
in reaching their destination. The per-
centage of losses Is very small. Such
confidence is placed IN this service
that is calculated if every line OF
railway and every telegraph wire
ON both sides of the frontier were
destroyed, by means OF this system OF
pigeon post the authorities could be
kept abreast of the progress of events.
The rearing and training of pigeons
by the people is also encouraged by
the Government. Almost every town
has its society or union, generally uu-
der official patronage, and for the pc
riodical flying contests thousands OF
birds will be entered. The State has
the option of taking all trained birds
should the pubic service require II.

annual dinner of the Arctic club at
Clark's restaurant, West 23d street,

which up to couple ofmonths ago sheltered
about AGO persons.
About IL years ago the railroad people
acquired the first piece of property in the
vicinity. When the Lowell railroad came
under the control of the Boston X Maine two
years ago, the corporation began to buy up
the remainder of the property.
1t acquired very soon the whole of the
"glass house" block, as it is known locally.
with the exception of one house. On that
portion of North street between Short and
East there were several owners who, by rea-
son of sentiment, did not desire to sell.
When they found they had to. they
held out for a higher figure than the railroad
cared to give. The matter came before the
county commissioners about two months ago
and they decided in favor of the corpora
ton.
As soon as this was accomplished the
Maine system lost no time in making prep
aratiOns to raze the buildings in order to
obtain greater facilities. 1t is understood
that the land will be used as a freight yard
though it is whispered that the railroad will
not stop purchasing in this vicinity until they
acquire all the property hereabouts in order
to straighten out their tracks from point
near the old Mclean asylum grounds and
mako much needed improvements in the APP
proach to the union station.

herring fishery is IA total failure all around

schooners which were waiting there. hoping
to secure cargoes have abandoned the place
and sailed for Placentia bay. All seine

This is the second year in succession that
the herring fishery has failed at Fortune

dustry is the only possible occupation of the

The rebellion in Cuba has led the Philip
pine Islands to revolt also, and it is said
they are supported by at least 1000 insur-
gents. The Philippine Islands form the
only other important Spanish colony. GEN
eral Polavieia succeeds General Blanco as
governor of the islands. General Blanco is
regretted by the people and the natives, as
he was trusted by the Spaniards and ad-
mred by foreigners. who respected him for
his honest record. His successor, General
Polavieia, is typical soldier. 1t is said the
church regards the change as gain. The
fact that $4,000 more Spanish troops are to
be sent to the islands is a sufficient indica-
ton of the extent Of the rebellion, which is
supported by at least 100000 active insur-
gents. One fourth of the latter are armed
and used to solid earthworks, while many
have only barbarous weapons.

in the province Of Pinar del Rio after the
assassination of General Maceo, is "a white

of Cubas famous struggle for free

should be necessary to draw it again in
Cuba's cause. Last September he landed In
Cuba and joined Maceo's command. He is
an able strategist. a brave fighter and is ad.
