FRANCE Is NEUTRAL
And Wants the Position Thoroughly
Understood

PARIS, May 1e.-The Journal des Debats.
In the course Of long article today, reflects
the anxiety experienced in government
circles here respecting the feeling aroused
N America on account of Frances open
sympathy with Spain. 1t says:
1.-THE whole affair is a misunderstanding.
French opinion at, the outset of the war
certainly regarded the United States as
in the wrong, and some of the papers ex-
pressed this opinion in an aggressive tone.
The Americans, however, should not have
taken the matter SO tragically, for, of all
foreigners, our natural sympathies are for
the United States, and our government
throughout has acted most correctly"
After charging Great Britain with being
ut tho bottom Of the mischief, and declar-
ing that 1t is Americas own business if she
decides to interfere in distant affairs, the
article concludes:
What concerns us Is that America should
not, In taking ZIP the great role of inter-
national domain, start with preconceived
ideas against us and renounce the good
understanding with France, which has
been so useful In the past and which is still
more desirable in the future. The French
nation was never really hostile to the Amer
leans, who will realize this when the pres
emit friction has had time to disappear"

uamss Of Victims and Of Those Who
Escaped


WASHINGTON, May 1e.-Secretary Day

IN regard to the alleged massacre OF Amer

efEorts to ascertain whether Mr.. and MIA
1goorew were among the number killed.

cable message to the secretary of state,
saving that he had received the followire
message from the London foreign ONCE,
being an extract from telegram from the
governor Of Sierra Leone, Sir F. Garden, TO
Mr. Chamberlain:
ssRegret to inform you that the follow
ing American missionaries were killed by
insurgent bands at Rotifunk: Mr.. and Mrs.
Cairie, Messrs. Arches. Hatfield and Sic
benck. and that Miss Ward, as well as the
Following named missionaries. are here,
quite safe: Mr.. and Mrs. Buntner and Mr..
and Mrs. Minshau from Shelgeh. and Miss
Mullen from Hlinialigi."
This message makes no reference to Mr.
and Mrs. NcGrew, and their friends in this
country are becoming apprehensive as 70
their possible fate. Secretary Day in
atructed Ambassador Hay to make further
inquiry about them. Ambassador Hay re-
plied on the 18th inst that Mr.. and Mrs
NcGrew were stationed at Robetta and
were safe.
On the following day the secretary OF
state cabied the American ambassador at
London that they were still at Taima at
last accounts. All of these missionaries
were Americans, who were sent to Sierra
Leone by the United Brethren of Christ
mission Of Dayton, Ohio.

Intervention Talk

NEW YORK, May 16.-A dispatch to the
World from Berlin says:
An evidently inspired editorial in the
Post, treating on the question of European
intervention in the American-Spanish war
says:
1.-THE time for a decision upon the ques-
ton is rapidly drawing nearer. If the
powers eventually intervene it will only
be on condition that the Spaniards shall
remain loyal to the reigning dynasty.
"If they show a disposition to change the
government and place themselves under
the control Of the Republicans or OF
mutinous generals, they need not reckon
on the sympathy Of monarchical powers. u

A WIDESPREAD STORM
VISITS ALL SECTIONS OF THE
STATE
Some Damage Done Coy and Grain
But the Benefits Exceed
the Injury

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.-The rainfall
of the past few days has been distributed
well over the state, an average of an inch
and half falling In the San Gabriel and
Santa Ana valleys and about the same in
the northern part of the state. The small
est amount fell north of Sonoma county.
In the Santa Clara valley the rain has
put the ranchmen on their feet as wells
were dry in many places previous to its
fall.
Ripe cherries have been injured by the
downpour. but those still green will be
improved and the grain that was to be cut
for hay will in some cases so fill out that
the grain can be threshed In all cases
that the grass has not already been ripened
fully it will get a new start. The most of
the grain crop, however, is past receiving
benefit.
Oregon and Washington received little
rain in comparison during the past two
days, but crop reports from there show
that grain is in good condition.
Some Damage Done
STOCKTON. May 16.-Specal telephone
reports to the Mail from points in San
Joaquin, MERGED and Stanislaus counties
indicate that while the rain of Saturday
night and Sunday night was of benefit to
winter sown and late summer-fallow
grain and to vegetables and fruit, especi-
ally grapes, considerable hay is down and
good deal that has been cut is badly
damaged. In some few places rain will
have the effect of filling out the wheat
which is alive, but in other places it is too
far gone to be benefited. Taken alto
gether however, the rain has been of more
benefit than the damage amounts to. The
biggest crop of oranges ever raised In Oak
dale will be plucked this season, while at
Clements the prune crop will be immense.
The rain has had the effect OF cleansing the
fruit trees of bugs and spiders. The aver
age rainfall was over an inch.
Worth a Million
SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.-The Call
says: Saturday and Sundays rain was
worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to
the farms of California. Many fields of
wheat were saved from total destruction.
The barley crop will in many sections be a
fair one, and that dependent upon irriga-
ton was saved just in time.
Before the rain the wheat crop of Cali
fornia was placed at 100000 tons and the
barley crop at 100000 tons. Well informed
grain dealers estimate the late precipita-
ton will add 100000 tons OF wheat and $780,
| 900 tons Of barley to the crops.
At Other Places
REDDING, CAL, May 16-The rain OF
the past few days has been of incalculable
benefit to the upper portion Of the Sacra-
mento valley and the mountain valleys Of
northern California. There is some dam
afe reported. dry feed being injured, but
as whole the benefit to grain and ORCH
| ards will much over-balance the loss.
San Diego-Rain began falling again to,
night and there is every indication of an
all-night storm.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., May 16.-Heavy
firing of this coast was heard by the men
Of Battery X, stationed at Fort Constitu-

The artillerymen think that 1t was done by
some United States scouting cruiser in
overhauling vessel. However, no war
ship of any kind was sighted at the fort
Sunday, nor did any word come from sig
nal stations at the shoals that any had
been seen.
