The liberal government in Canada is
preparing to hold a referendum on the
subject of prohibition. A bill is being
prepared which will provide for vote
by the entire people of Canada on the
advisability of passing a federal pro-
hibitory act, forbidding the manufac-
ture, importation and sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors. Since 1873 there have been
plebiscites in the four provinces of
Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, On
tario and Nova Scotia on the subject,
each of which gave majority for pro-
hibition, the aggregate in the four be-
ing 1928 votes. 1t seems more than
likely that prohibition will receive a
majority at the proposed plebiscite for
the whole dominion, but it is not sure
that the government will then pass a
prohibitory law.

London, June 24.-The Madri dcorre-
spondent of the Daily Mail says:
Reliable information has been re-
ceived in diplomatic circles here from
South America that preliminary steps
are being taken to summon confer.
ence of all South and Central Ameri-
can republics to consider the advisa.
bility of adopting defensive measures
against future aggression by the Unit
ed States. The Hispano-American re.
publics see danger in the prospect that
the moment the United States has eff
fected its purpose in Cuba it will seek
to extend its influence and authority
over Spanish-speaking republics. In
countries so subject to revolutionary
outbreaks it would be an easy task for
the United States to fOment insured
tionary movements-as the Spaniards
claim has been done in Cuba-wieh the
object of finally intervening and alb
sorb these states individually or plac-
ing them under protection. The Latin
republics are firmly resolved to resist.
Hence the conference, the delibera-
lions of which will be
Conducted in Secret.
The conference will not meet until the
conclusion of the present war. The
Latin republics wish to see how the
Americans will treat their Cuban pro-
teges and whether they will extend
their operations to Puerto Rico, a ter
ritorial sphere which it is thought
should be kept apart from the Cuban
question, as the Puerto Ricans are sat
istied with Spanish rule. Should the
operations of the Americans in Cuba
and Puerto Rico confirm the belief
that they wish to control and ultimate
ly TO dominate the American continent
the whole Of the Central and South
American republics will form them
selves into confederation, agreeing
to make common cause with any one
Of them that should come into conflict
with the United States. l have reason
to believe that should the HisDano-
American league become reality the
next step would be an agreement bind
ing each Of the participants to keep up
a certain military and naval force.
Thus the aggregate would be able to
possess confederated army and navy
in case of conflict with the United
States. 1t is believed Mexico will take
q lively part in the movement.

New London, Conn, June %. - The
great intercollegiate aquatic contests
which for months have been looked
forward to by thousands of college
youths and their friends took place
yesterday and the results again place
Cornell ON the pedestal Of fame as the
champion university crew Of America,
and to the freshmen OF Gale belongs
the honor Of success in the triangular
race with the youngsters Of naruard
and Cornell. The first race was I'M
interesting except to Comedians after
the first quarter of a mile had been
rowed. The slight lead which Yale Sc
cured at the start was taken away by
Cornell at this point aud Courtney's
men We're not again headed. The eight
Of Harvard was never in the race.
\ prettier form and watership has new
er been seen in America than that pre-
scented by Capt. Colson and his Cornell
crew through the four miles of the
race. The twcnty-four'men were all in
Good Physical Condition
with Cornells eight trifle the fittest
and Yale the worst off in this respect.
The time of the winning crew, as given
by the race officials, was 23:4S, the
slowest time made in university race
for several years, but this is attribute
BILE to head wind and the fact that
Cornell was not forced. Yale crossed
the finish line IA seconds behind the
champions, while the trailing Harvard
eight rested on their oars SO seconds
later. If the university race of the
early afternoon was tame, as con-
trast, the freshmen race, which start
ed at 5:O3. was thrilling to the last de-
gree. Every yard Of the course was
fought viciously and the result was in
doubt until the second Yale rushed
across the line winner in the official
time of 11:22 2-5. One hundred yards
from the end it was Yale, Cornell and
Harvard, and every one looked for a
finish in that order. Yale spurted and
maintained her advantage, but Cornell
was not equal to the strain and at the
last moment Harvard, in a desperate
effort, shot ahead Of the Cornell young
sters and crossed half-length behind
Yale, with the nose Of the Ithacan shell
tapping the Crimson boat.

Lieutenant Carranza, whose bid for
notoriety by challenging all the Wash
ington officials whose names he knew
or could obtain fell on barren ground,
has now settled down as a member of
Spain's secret service establishment in
Canada. We are not sure that the chal-
lenged officials on this side of the line
have the best of the bargain. 1t might
be a waste of time and powder to fight
duel with bloviating fire-eater like
Carranza, but he would be safer in the
hospital than as cunning spy AS a
Spanish lieutenant could not probably
hit anything short of forty-foot bill

opportunity to remove dangerous spy
without incidental danger has been
missed.

WHOSE COAL
Hig Purchase Mt Valparaiso Creates
Suspicion.

Ntss Purchase Mt Valparaiso Crentes
Suspicion.
Washington, June "a. = News has
reached here that 10000 tons Of coal
is being loaded at Valparaiso, Chile.
AS coal is worth about $18 ton there
the purchase excited great curiosity
here, and it has been suspected that
it was being made on Spanish account.
If this should prove to be true, and the
fact will soon be known, it would
seem to indicate purpose on the-part
of the Spanish naval commander,
Calrara, to carry that celebrated Ca
diz feet around into the Pacific and
use these GOLFERS to supply the feet
with coal: In this case the object Of
attack probably would be the west
coast Of the United States instead Of
the Philippines, but after all the whole
thing is still matter of conjecture.

Washington, June "a. = Official dis
patches received by both Secretary
Alger and Secretary Long indicate
that the landing Of the troops near
Santiago was progressing most favor
ably. The, first landing was effected
Mt Daiquiri in the morning and met
with comparatively; slight resistance.
This was stated in a dispatch received
by Secretary Alger, which, though
brief, was full of news and meaning.
ltNfoI!ows:
:Laaiing at Baiquiri this morning
successful. Very little, If any, rests
lance. -Shafter."
Secretary Alger expressed himself as
delighted at the expedition with which
the landing of the troops vas being
effected and with the fact that no
serious obstacle was being offered by
the enemy. He construed the text of
Gen. Skaters dispatch as meaning
that the enemy had made only nomi-
ual and ineffective resistance by firing
from the hills at long range. Shortly
after Secretary Alger received his dis
patch Secretary Long received more
extended cablegram from Admiral
Sampson. 1t. toe, was dated at Playa
del Este. The text Of the dispatch is
rs follows:
Landing Of the army is progressing
successfully at Baiquiri. There is
very little, if any, resistance. The
New Orleans, Detroit, Castine, Wasp
and Suwanee shelled the vicinity be-
fore the landing. We made a
Dcn.onstl alton Mt Cabnnas
to engage the attention Of the enemy.
The Texas engaged the west battery
for some hours. She mad one man
killed. Ten submarine mines have
been recovered from the channel Of
egraph has been established at Guam
tanamo. Sampson"
In both army and navy circles the
information contained in the dis
patches of Gen. Shafter and Admiral
Sampson is received with intense sat
isfaction. The landing Of so large a
body Of troops as Gen. Shafter at pres
ent has under his command is a task
of immense proportions. A prominent
official Of the war department said
that the complete debarkation Of the
troops, animals, field guns and sup
plies within a~week after their arrival
off the Cuban coast would be task
well accomplished. It was the opinion
of the officer referred to that only a
partial landing of the troops was eff
fected, and that the landing would be
continued from day to day until CON-
pleted. 1t is not unlikely, too, that the
troops will be landed at several places
along the coast, of course within a
short distance of the headquarters of
Gen. Shafter. Admiral SIMPSONS dis
I patch indicated that he was carrying
out his instructions thoroughly to clear
away for the landing of troops.

Blockade Running.

Off Santiago de Cuba. June 25.-With
the complete Investment of Santiago
de Cuba by land and by sea but few
days off the admiral has decided to
strengthen the blockade Of the large
ports on the southern coast westward
of Santiago. For three weeks the
south coast, west of Santiago to Cape
San Antonio has been practically I'm.
protected. The blockade has been
simply on paper, in name Galy, with
the result that it is known that cutie
a number of ships have run the block
AIDE and that an immense quantity of
provisions has been struggled into
Havana. Most of the blockade run
ners have landed their cargoes under
the lee of the Isle of Pines and thence
the provisions etc, have been taken in
small boats to Batabano, whence the
railway runs to Havana, only thirty
five miles away. The majority of the
blockade runners have gone out from
Jamaica, and two Of them at least are
known to have made several trips.
Only last week the steamer Purissima
Conception, flying the Spanish flag,
took a cargo cut Of Kingston, ostensi-
bly, for Manzanillo, but probably for
the Isle of Pines. The auxiliary
cruiser Yosemite miSse!: her by few
hours. The Conception carried, in adj
dition to provisions, arms and ammu-
milton. These cargoes were undoubted-
ly struggled into the Spanish lines and
will aid Capt. Gen. iilaDc.. greatly in
withstanding the siege. The admiral
has now decided that blockade running
must cease. and yesterday he dis
patched four fast sailing ships to pa
troll the coast from Cape Cruz for the
Isle of Pines.
