closer relations Desired.

LONDON, April S0.-Brassey's Nav An
nual for 1898 was published to-day. 1t con-
tains the usual mass of valuable informa-
ton. Lord Brassey, who is the father of the
editor of the Naval Annual, and who is
governor of the British colony of Victoria,
contributes an article on the position of the
British navy in 1898. which concludes with
a plea for the league of the English-speak-
ing countries. He says: I'm the present
anxious position Of affairs We shall not re-
lax our efforts to create such naval forces
as will insure the safety of the empire, but
II, IN the process of time, we can accom-
plish a closer union between ourselves and
the United States; if we can establish a per-
petual league of all English nations for
settled their differences by arbitration;
nay, more. for mutual defense if threatened
by external foes, then we shall have
changed the circumstances. Our latent re-
sources would be too overwhelming to be
challenged. Let us cherish the hope that a
contamination so happy may some day be
reached by the sagacity of our statesmen
and the growing wisdom and good will of
our kindred people"

ST. PAUL. Mimi, April 0.-Brevet Brig
adler General Edward C.. Mason, u. S. A,
retired, died at his home in this city at 2:15
o'clock this afternoon. His af1iction was
acute heart disease with numerous COM
piications. The general was sixty-seven
years of age, and his life had been chiefly
spent in active and arduous duties in the
military service. He was stricken at church
some time since. and all the circumstances
have been against hlm. General Mason was
civil wal with Ohio troops, being colonel
of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Ohio Volunteer Infantry at the close of the
war. Later in the regular army he won
distinction in indian wars, particularly
against Captain Jack Ind the Modocs in
the famous lava beds. for which last serv-
ice his brevet rank as brigadier general
was given him just before his Retirement.
As executive head of the local
on G.. A. r. National -Encampment two
years ago he made many new friends all
over the country. h remains will be
taken to Springfield. o., for interment.

Marc Londry, in Paris Figaro.
81 hear and read that the issue of letters
of marque to Spanish privateers will affect
the security of neutral trade says Marc
Londry. Then he points out that according
to the royal decree even the privateers will
be bound by the principles of international
law regarding neutral goods laid down in
the declaration of Paris. He then continues:
1--WE must not imagine that the Spanish
privateers will be a decisive element in win
ming success for the country. Privateering
to be successful needs fast and reasonably
large steamers.
1.-THE Madrid citizen who wrote that Spain
would find 1,5O0 or 1000 privateers took her
desires for realities. Spain has at most 400
to 1,500 steamer and sailing ships. including
corkboats, utterly unfit for war. Therefore.
privateers cannot as they used to do a
hundred years ago, swarm out from every
little port. Their number will be restricted
and their task difficult, for where or how
can they get coal or how can they furnish
prize crews for captured vessels? What
heavy expenses will be incurred! We are no
longer in the good old days when a brig or
q Schooner could be transformed into a
privateer by shipping a few barrels of pow
der and some c~arronadeS. Privateering now
is neither simple nor easy. Certainly Spain
has done well to retain as a right arm her
privateers, but to make her believe that by
so doing she can save the situation is to lead
her to the cruelest disillusion."

Game Failed to Work.

Ulysus Beaute, who also calls himself j.
V. Coleman, was arrested while trying a
slick confidence game on Marcy, the jewel
err, yesterday. Beaute or Coleman, who has
the appearance of a man of some means,
looked at some valuable jewelry. He select
ed a gold watch and chain of costly make
and a diamond pin. The jewelry was worth
about 1895. Beaute wrote out a check on
Fletcher's Bank for the entire amount. This
awakened suspicion and a messenger was
sent to the bank, while Beaute was detained
on some trivial pretext. At the bank his
check was repudiated, and it was asserted
that he was unknown. Patrolman Lund was
called in and questioned Beaute, who said
his home was in Chicago. His account OF
himself was not satisfactory and he was
slated for lettering. After looking into the
case, Superintendent Qu!gley arrived at tht
conclusion that Beaute is a good man.
and a charge of grand larceny was placed
against him. He is believed by the police
to have been implicated in a burglary.

Spain Trying to Raise Money.

MADRID, April 30-Noon.-The greatest
efforts are being made here, and through
out the country, to increase the national
war fund. 1t is proposed, for instance, to
have tables, ornamented with the national
colors, at all the Madrid churches through
out the month of May. These tables will
be attended by society ladies, whose names
and the amounts they may collect for the
fund will be published in the newspapers.
The' traditional festival on May 2, in
honor of Daoiz Velarde, will be celebrated
by a procession of veterans to the monu-
ment In the Prado, where open air masses
will be celebrated, accompanied by artillery
~salutes.
The Spanish colony in Mexico telegraphs
that besides contributing a war ship, a
subscription in aid of the national fund to
increase the strength of the Spanish navy
has been opened in Mexico and that $780,
600 pesetas have already been collected.

Two Emnerors Disngree.

LONDON, May l. The Vienna corre-
spondent of the Sunday Special tells a tall
story to the effect that Emperor William left
Dresden last Saturday after a disagreement
with Emperor Francis Joseph arising from
a. heated discussion had in the afternoon
relative to the Spanish-American war, in
which the Austrian Emperor vainly tried to
convince the Kaiser that it is his duty and
titude toward the United States, a more
friendly neutrality to Spain. Emperor Will
liam reiterated that Germany's interests
pointed to a policy of strict neutrality and
the retention of the good will of the mighty
republic. Emperor Francis Joseph was
much hurt by the Kaiser's heated, impulsive
language and plainly showed his diSpleasure
at the banquet given in the evening, the sit
uation growing so unpleasant that Emperor
William took his departure before the close
of the banquet.

NEW YORK, April 30.-As long as the
fighting in Cuba was between the Spaniards
and the native insurgents the German press
habitually gave 40 credence to the official
Spanish reports of Spanish victories, says
the Berlin correspondent of the World.
Now hat the choice is between the &C.
ceptance of Spanish or the American re-
ports an ostentatious attempt is made here
to cast doubt on American accounts of
events and to accept as veracious the re-
ports from Madrid. The National Zeitung
says: Neither the opinion nor the belief OF
the American officers on the results of the
bombardment of Matanzas will be accept
ed" 1t is amusing to watch the absurd eff
forts of the newspapers in Berlin to min
imize the importance of the American oper-
atiCnS.

The Trume at Stake.

LONDON, May 1.-The Paris CORE
spondent of the Sunday Times says: Com
mon European action for the protection of
European residents in Cuba gravely pre-
occupies the mind of M. Hanotaux, the for
eign minister, as the least Inishap in this
direction might lead to the gravest conse-
quences nearer home. The mayors of vari-
Gus towns and have already
called the attention of the government to
the fact that the cultivation of the truffie
has led to the formation of a large French
colony. Considerations of this Kind have
dampened the ardor of Spanish sympa-
thizers, and have also caused the Quai
Dorsey to give militant Paris Cubans a
wide BERTH"

OUR BROTHERs' KEEPERS.
The War Discussed in Chicago Pull
pits.

Chicago, July 25-The changed rela-
tions between the United States and
other nations that may result from the
war with Spain and the problems inn
posed upon this country by the con-
quest of territory incident to the war
were discussed in many Chicago pulpits
Sunday. At St. PaulS Reformed Epis-
copaI church Bishop Sampel Fallows
spoke from the text: In the Name of
Our God we VIII Set up Our Ban
nerS.'' He said in part:
For the first time in the history of
the world has a nations banner been
carried forward by strong, brave hands
purely in the interest of humanity. The
American flag, which is expressive of
the most advanced political ideas in the
possession OF man, has been set up, over
territory Wrested by the force of arms
from nation noted for its misruIe and
cruelty. The old world, with one no
table exception, derisively smiled when
we announced the humanitarian pur-
pose of the present war. Lust of con-
quest was believed to be our real, ami
mating purpose. The world will yet see
that we were thoroughly honest in our
statements.
Wherever the American flag now
waves or wherever it shall wave here
after it must never be taken down IN
til another flag which shall represent
the same glorious ideas shall take it's
place"
Territorial Expansion" was the sub
ject of a prelude to a sermon by the
church in the evening. The speaker said:
"A new wOrld-pOwer has appeared in
the congress of nations. For years
England has stood for the principles of
professionalism. America will stand in
the parliament of the world for the
principles of nOn-sectarian Christianity.
If an AnglO-American alliance is form
ed it must be upon the American and
not the English platform.
THE world must recognize the rights
of every man, whether a southern sun
tanned his skin, or a northern cline has
bleached him white
Tt is q surprise to US, but it may be
part of the divine plan that the Uni
ted States shall extend its protectOrate
over other lands.'

ian tabernacle on The Mission of a

Among other things he said:
I'VE must, as a nation, take our
share of responsibility for the rest of
the world. And that part of it which
fall to US now, unexpectedly and I'M
sought, but still prOvidentially. must

said in part:
THE last thought is that fidelity
brings glory to the cause. Our flag
means more today than ever before.

a great factor in the world problems
which wait to be solved. So the glory

The Rev. Thomas Doesn't Believe
Stories Told About the Cubans.

New York, July 25.-The Rev. Thomas
Dixon, Jr., in his sermon in the Grand
Opera House, said he believed the stories
of cowardice and preference for eating ra-
lions to fighting regarding the Cuban
troops to be Misrepresentation. The sub
ject of his sermon was General Skaters
Great Victory" He contrasted pain
condition in the fifteenth century with
the Spain of today, and said a nation
which cannot keep the truth has no fu-
ture. In three months of war, the min
lister said, we had raised an army of 3OO,-
900 men, sunk 25 Spanish men-of-war, cap
tured or destroyed 40 merchantmen, killed
1900 Spanish sailors and captured two adj
mirals, $4,000 men and an important city.
This is a prophecy of future success.
''Shafter is not only a general, but a
magnificent diplomat" said Mr.. Dixon.
with an actual force of 90 in three at

superior number to surrender, not only

but other forces further distant. 1t re-
Quired a diplomat to do this. I am sorry
Garcia misunderstood US. Some courtesy
has been neglected toward these poor,
proud, ragged men. 1t matters little,
however-the United States has gone to
give Cuba freedom. and reports from I'M
reliable sources cannot change that pur-
pose. That was the pledge of the United
States. and the nation that keeps the
truth will enter into the city. The men
of little America cannot stop the nations
march which brings liberty to lands en-
quilted in the tyranny of centuries"
