The English proposition to abandon
the Clayton Bullwer treaty is regard
ed in Europe as voluntary and al
most servile expression of the wish for
an American alliance already limited
at by British officials. Not the least
significant feature of American owner

fact that it would almost preclude the
possibility of an Anglo American war
and even place the United States in
position to direct in some measure the
destinies of foreign wars. American

gone conclusion, however. and sug-
gestions to that end coming from Lon

but unimportant anticipation of the

SENATOR HOAR LOYAL.
He Resents What Prof. Norton, Of
Harvard, Says Off Americans,


WORCESTER, Mass, July 13.-The
sixth annual session of the Clark uni
versity summer school was opened to-
day with an address by Senator Hoar
Oh "Americanism and American Hon.
or" He spoke of the reconciliation of
the North and the South by the war.
and the sympathy for the United States
from England, and expressed gratifica-
ton ever the closer bonds of union with
the mother country. He said:
In strange contrast with these
tokens of respect are a few discordant
and Earring notes which are heard at
home. l see that Prof Norton, of Har-
ward. is quoted as telling the youth
Of the university that it is characteris-
tic of the American people to be tri-
fling. They have acquired a varnish
of civilized life, but their natures have
not been refined
Poor Prof. Norton, color blind and
music deaf. AT this day, when the
North and the South are coming to-
gether. when Mother England is learn
ing to know her daughter and to love
her again, he says that it is character
istic of the American people to be tri-
fling, and he feels, with Horace Wal
pole, that he should be proud of his
country if it were not for his country
men.
Heaven knows that 1 do not say
this from any desire to inf1ict pain, but
it is due to the youth Of the country,
it is due to Harvard that somebody
shall say this. If such utterances are
TO go unreproved from our foremost
university, manhood and courage will
follow Yale, or will follow classical
learning to the English Cambridge"

TO SAVE WRECKAGE.
Work Entrusted to Man Who Tried
to Raise the Maine.

NEW YORK, July 13-Capt. Fred
erick Sharp, an expert diver and the
chief of the Merritt-Chapman Wreck
ing company forces, has left for Nor
folk. A wrecking outfit is to go from
there today, it is said, to the coast
of Cuba with the hope of saving some
of the vessels of Admiral Cervera's
fleet, and Capt. Sharp is to be in COM
mand of the expedition. He will sail
on the wrecking steamer l. J. Merritt,
which is in charge Of Capt. David Mer-
rift, and which is lying at Norfolk
Capt. Sharp will make thorough ex-
animation Of the sunken vessels of Ad-
miral Cervera's fleet to ascertain how
many can be saved and brought to
American waters to be turned over to
the United States government.
The wreckers, it is understood. are
confident Of saving the Cristobal Colon.
Capt. Sharp believes he will have no
trouble in floating her off the beach
and towing her to Key West. The eX-
petition will be one of the largest ever
made by the Merritt Chapman Wreck
ing company, and the crews of the
company are likely to remain off Cuba
for an indefinite period.
Capt. Sharp is the man who had
charge of the Merritt Chapman forces
when they went to Havana harbor to
make an effort to raise the United
States battleship Maine.

BLANCO TELLS LIES.
An Open Charge Against Him by a
Madrid Paner.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The work
of the Spanish censor in the employ of
Gen. Blanco in Havana has disguised
several of the leading papers of Madrid,
Ell Heraldo de Madrid among them,
and the result is that they have recall
ed to Madrid the correspondents en-
played by them in Cuba. The Heraldo
states, in explanation of the absence
of Cuban news from it's pages, that it
has no further use for correspondents
in Havana. Gen. Blancos censor per-
hitting them to send only such dis
patches as he thinks will reflect credit
on the Spanish cause in the island
Ell Heraldo says that it does not want
to share the responsibility of proclaim
ing Spanish victories and other false
and absurd news which will later be
demonstrated to the people as abso-
lutely untrue. 1t is better, says the
editorial, to have no news at all than
to continue to deceive the Spanish pub
lie in the way the Madrid papers have
been compelled to do 1t in the last few
months. When the Spanish have lost,
the correspondents have been COM
PEELED to cable dispatches recounting
victories, because, if they endeavored
to send the truth, their dispatches were
changed. All the correspondents are
permitted to do is to foster and en-
large the receptions practiced by Blan-
CO.
1.-THE Spanish people would rather be
told that the entire army of Spain had
died bravely," says the Heraldo, than
to read base, receptions and find out in
time that they are false The Heraldo
is the first to make this declara ton,
and, cost what it may, it will not pub
lish any more falsehoods, but will tell
the truth, ce it confiscated twenty
times day. From now on, whether
it be defeat or victory that settles on
the Spanish arms, the Heraldo will give
the truth or nothing"

with testimony relating to Senator
Kenney's accounts with the bank and
it's correspondents.
At the afternoon session of court
William N. Boggs, the defaulting teller,
was on the stand for over three hours
during which he told of the manner
in which he carried along checks Of
Senator Kenney's, received from other
banks, and credit deposits for him
when he had overdrawn his account
and while Boggs was defaulter in
large sums of money. That he was a
defaulter, witness said, was known to
the senator, and, when asked why he
carried the defendants checks along
for weeks without charging them, he
said it was because I'VE are all in the
hole together"
During nearly all the period in which
the witness defalcations took place, he
said Senator Kenney was cognizant of
the fact. AS to this custom in dealing
with Senator Kenney's checks, he said
that If the account was not good for
them, he would pay them out of the
funds of the bank, carrying the check
as a cash item from day to day, or
withholding the deposit slip of anoth-
er deposition. He said Senator Kenney
first knew of his being a defaulter in
October, 1895, when he was short about
$4,000 or $4,000. He felt Kenney was
the man to confide in, their relations
were so intimate. The senator and
Boggs formulated a plan to restore the
difficulty. To do this the witness in
vested funds in Bay State Gas stock,
building operations in Philadelphia and
farm in Delaware. Kenney, the wit
ness said, dealt in Bay State Gas at
the same time with him, and they
often discussed the probabilities Of
making money. Witness said that, in
January 1897, Senator Kenney express
ed the hope that money enough would
be made to get them both out of the
hole.

DODGING RESPONSIBILITY
Sagasta Wishes Some European
Power to Pay Indemnity


NEW YORK, July 13.-The Tribune
publishes the following from its Lon
Cen correspondents: Madrid has taken
the defeat Of Cervera so quietly that
peace is impossible without risks of
revolution. Sagasta is not willing to
sacrifice his political position by pro-
posing peace under hard conditions He
is bent upon having some convenient
substitute incur the unpopularity.
When peace is made he will return to
office and die in harness. There is great
interest here in the propositions Amer
lea may make and there will be great
disappointment over an indemnity bas-
ed on the Philippines, as either France
or Germany can raise the money and
gain possession.
1t is not believed European powers
will intervene in any way unless a high
indemnity be, proposed. In that event
the powers may use their diplomatic
Powers to secure a reduction of the in
Gemnity.
Whether the indemnity be high or
low Spain will never pay it, but unless
1t be substantial one some European
rover will pay it, and then the United
States will be compelled to withdraw
from the Philippines precisely as ia
pan has retired from the mainland of
China. England eagerly desires Amer
lea to remain permanently in the Phil
ippines.

LONDON, July 14.-The Hong Kong

Gen. Aguinaldo declares that both

United States Consul Wildman as
SertS that Admiral Dewey could compel
the surrender of Manila tomorrow if
he liked. He says his dispatches show
that the Germans continue to inter-
fere, their action causing much anx-
iety, as, it is said, they are assisting
the Spaniards by landing flour and
other supplies, and, moreover, that the
German officers have been seen in the
Spanish trenches.
THE Germans have not been careful
to observe the naval courtesies required
by the situation. They have given Aa-
miral Dewey much annoyance by 60
ing against his regulations and by in
sisting on sending their boats around
the bay after dark. AT the same time
Dewey that he has no intention of
giving offense to America, and that
his movements are not to be con-
strued aus any demonstration of i'll will
Admiral Dewey is said to have replied
Perhaps it would be better if mat
teiS were managed little differently"
THE German ships have done and are
still doing rash and impertinent things,
like the Irene incident. The Americans
hope the Spaniards will continue their
waste Of ammunition in fighting the
rebels and then surrender Manila with
out bloodshed.
Admiral Dewey on the report that
the German fleet was landing large
quantities of rice and flour for the
Spaniards, decided to be more strict
and has put pinnace at the end of
the jetty to overhaul all launches going
or coming"

MANILA, July 9 (via Hong Kong,
July 13).-The insurgents on Wednes-
day, July 6, reported that the German
boat Irene in Subic bay refused to per-
NIT them to attack the Spaniards on
Grande island. Rear Admiral Dewey
promptly dispatched the Raleigh and
Concord to investigate the matter. On
entering Subic bay the Raleigh opened
fire on the forts, whereon the Irene
slipped her cable and steamed out by
another channel. The result Of the fire
of the American warship was that the
Spaniards, numbering over 500 men,
surrendered everything. On returning
to Manila the Irene explained that she
interfered 'in the cause Of humanity
and offered to hand over to the Amer
leans the refugees she had on board.
Admiral Dewey, however, declined to
accept them.
When the Raleigh and the Concord
visited Subic they found the insurgents
in possession. 1t appears that a month
ago the wild mountafneers, with bows
and spears, descended upon the place
in thousands, the native garrison
seeded, the Spanish abandoned the ar
senal without a struggle and sought
refuge on Grande island, which quickly
surrendered to the Americans.

HONG KONG, July 13-Letters re-
ceived here from Cavite under date Of
July say that while the Spanish
steamer Filipinas was hiding in the
river near Subic the crew mutinied
and killed the officers. They then
handed the steamer over to the insur-
gents, who armed the vessel and dis
patched it to Subic for the purpose
of making an attack on Grande island.
Continuing, the letters confirm the
story told by the Associated Press cor
respondent at Manila in regard to the
action of the German warShip Irene,
and the steps taken by Admiral Dewey
to prevent interference with the in
surgents, adding that the Spanish
prisoners, in spite Of their protests,
were handed over to the insurgents
with the captured arms and ammuni-
ton.

ANOTHER WAR IMMINENT.
Prospective Conflict Between Chill
and the Argentine Republic,

LONDON, July 13.-Possible war be-
tween Chill and Argentina is a most
interesting topic just now in the Euro
pean capitals. There is feeling that
if hostilities between these countries
are to be precipitated it would be well
that they take place while the United
States is engaged with Spain, as in
that case the United States would be
too busy to interfere in any little game
in which Europe might wish to engage
at points in South American territory.
AS the interests of Italy in Argentina
are large, it is said that she will die

are all manner of reports as to the
possible consequences should the war
take place, and this story about Eng
land will have ample chance for veri-
fication or reputation when the con-
fiict is actually begun.
The announcement comes from Rome
that Italy has urged that the dispuS-
ants settle the difficulty by arbitra-
ton if possible, and has offered her
services as mediator. Nevertheless
Italy is preparing for trouble, and has
dispatched a squadron to sea, at the
same time ordering work rushed at the
