FRENCH NEUTRALITY.

Washington, May 14.-Of1cial informa-
ton reachsd here today that the Spanish
government had fled q protest at the for
eign office il Paris against the permits
sioas given by the French authorities at
Martinique to the United States auxili-
AIRY cruiser Harvard to remain in the har-
DOR Of St. Pierre, Martinique, for seven
days to make necessary repairs.
The French government has taken
speedy action on the protest and insist
that the United States cruiser, being dis
ahled, has full right TO remain seven
days Or such time as may tie necessary
to complete her repairs and that in the
meantime no steps will be taken to have
her leava the French port.
ihe Spanish protest is an important
development in the present critical naval
situation in the West Indies, as it serves
TO permit France to give conspicuous
evidence OF her friendly attitude toward
the United States and to Offset the insin-
natlon which have been made as to
hrehch faVoritism to Spain.

airy, and also took away some sheep from
other parties.
On learning that the Willard was here
Mr.. Tobey came to this city yesterday
and caused the arrest OF Capt. York.
He was given hearing and at first denied
the charge, but when proof was produced
the young captain, who is only % years
old, broke down and acknowledged that
AL the plumber was on board his vessel
The stolen goods were found on the
schooner and turned over to the owners
Later satisfactory adjustment of mat
tiers between the owners of the property
and the captain was arrived at. York
has been master of the Willard for three
gears.
