One evening not long ago st. Joseph
young man, who Is quite well known in So

who lives in the eastern part of the city.
The young man had but recently met the
charmer and had never been to see her. He
did not anticipate any difficulty, however,
in finding the young lady's home, as he had
received careful directions from those who
had been there. In due time he arrived in
the neighborhood in which the young lady
lived. He was undecided as to the exact
house he was seeking, but after some hesita-
ton he selected that which he felt positive
was the young lady's place of abode. A
ring of the bell brought big darby NANNY

LONDON, April 7.-On the highest au-
thority it can be announced that the
British government has assured the
United States of its fullest and most
cordial sympathy in its Cuban policy.
This assurance was given with the most
complete knowledge of the latest
developments from negotiations be-
tween the United States and Spain.
and on the understanding that events
are tending steadily towards armed in
tervention in Cuba.
The British government is even more
friendly to the United States than the
newspapers here, having more accurate
knowledge of the real nature and pur-
port of the dealings between the
United States and Spain.

LONDON. April THE Pail Mall Ga

The vatican is the scene of the ut

ages are coming and going and tele-
grams are pouring in. The hopes
of a solution of the Hispano-
American difficulty through the pope
have been revived. The pope is in di-
rect communication with the queen re-
gent, but his approaches to President
Mckinley were made indirectly. The
vatican people are sanguine of an arm
lstice. They appear to base their be-
lief OF peaceful solution upon the
fact that the supposed unpreparedness
of the United States for war will make
Washington cautious in going to ex-
tremes.

Work Cut Out for the Flying Squadron
WASHINGTON, April THE plan OF
action for the naval forces in event OF
hostiiitieS is now practically completed.
as result of several weeks OF con.
slant work on the part of officers to
whom was intrusted this impor-
tdnt feature of the war prepara-
tons While these plans are naturally
most closely guarded it may be
stated on high authority that one fea-
ture OF themeontempiates dash By the
flying squadron. under Commodore
schley, to the Canary islands. This
preparation is as yet tentative. as all
projects subject to unforeseen eondi-
lions must be, but has received most
careful consideration by the naval au-
thoritics
As outlined by high naval officer
the plan Is that, in the event of dec
laration OF war, the flying squadron, as
1t is now composed, or possibly with the
addition of few more ships, will i'm
mediately start for the east with the Ca
naries as its destination. Naval officials
do not think that it would be difficult
task for so powerful a fleet to esta blish
station at that point and, operating
from 1t as base, harrass the coast of
Spain. From that point the squadron
could not only be placed advantageous.

men, but would be in position,
should circumstances demand or
warrant so desperate a venture, to
attack seaport. 1t was also pointed
out by this officer that to seize and hold
the Canary islands would be a severe
blow to Spain, inasmuch as the islands
lie between the Cape Verde islands
and Spain and in direct line with the
route to Cuba.
Should such plan be put in opera
ton the American fleet in Cuban waters
would be composed of the present
squadron at the Tortugas and such ad-
ditional vessels as could be spared from
the protection of the coast further
up. While there would, of course,
said this Officer, BE- certain
amount OF danger in removing
the flying squadron SO far from home,
1t was felt that circumstances might
arise which would justify the dash to
the Canaries, hence the plan was
among those considered by the depart
ment, though, of course, not as vet
finally decided upon.

WAsHNGroN, April THE naval in

ment has kept itself fully informed of
the amount of coal owned by the Span
iards in the West India islands Like
much other information which this
bureau contains, the officials decline to
make it public, but it is said
IN some quarters that the supply
will last for reasonable length of
time. The bureau of equipment of the
navy department is also strainine
every nerve to get al adequate supply
of this requisite for a feet of ships at
such points on the gulf as may be read

Likewise the officials of the navy de-
partment are making every effort to
obtain coaling stations in the West
Indies, but if their efforts up to this
time have been crowned with success
they refuse to make the fact public.
Two desirable locations which it is be-
neved are under consideration are the
Mole st. Nicholas, Hayti, and the
island of St. Thomas, which be-
longs to Denmark. If these two
places could be acquired, then with
supply stations at Key West and at Dry
Tortugas it is believed the facilities for
obtaining coal would be reasonably
adequate for all purposes in the event
OF a war with Spain. Although the
senate acted adversely on the PROPOSE.

all hope of securing some accommoda-
