The American Flag Flies.

San Francisco, Aug. eo-The steamer
Alice Blanchard, Captain Broderick War
ner. has arrived from Clipperton island.
after a passage of IL days with 1.l5o tons
OF pulverized phosphate rock. Among her
passengers is Theodore Guzman, who has
been on the deeolate island for nearly 10
months. Mr.. Guzmsn figured in a some
what heroic light on Clipperton a few
months ago. when he refused to haul
down the American rag when ordered TO
do so by the Mexican man-of-war Dem
ocrata. The crew OF the Mexican hip
raised their nag over the island In place
of the stars and stripes. but IL was taken
down as soon as they left. Mr.. Guzmsn
says that since that time the American
flag has been flying over the island.

IT DOESN'T WORRY THEM
Naval Authorities Say the Hong
Kong Police Did Right.
THE ONLY THING TO DO
Neutrality Laws. Must Be Enforced by
Other Nations Until an Actual
Treaty of Peace-Protocol
Does Not Affect Them.

Washington, Aug. 2o.-Tfe navy de-
partment authorities discount the sig
nifcance given the report OF the en-
forcement of the neutrality laws at
Hong Kong by ordering the Zafro from
the harbor and deferr.ny permission
TO the American feet to dock there.
Admiral Dewey recently received or
ders from Secretary Alien to report on
his plans for docking and repairing the
ships of his feet. The cablegram sent
him on his subject gave only instruc-
tions TO make an inquiry as to the
most available ear for attending TO
the repairs which are much needed, and
to report as early as possible. Admiral
Dewey undoubtedly Immediately set
about negotiating to secure a suitable
place where the work could be execut-
ed, and the request to the authorities
at Hong Kong for permission probably
followed Immediately, and doubtless
was carried on the trip OF the "a
fro.
The action OF the British harbor po-
lice at Hons Kong In ordering the IA
fro TO leave British waters within p
hours IL an action strictly In accord
ance with the spirit and terms of the
neutrality laws. This is the view taker
at the navy department. whose officials
say tina the American dispatcf
boat. since the inception of hos
%tilities, never has remained In por.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Phihpsburg. Aug. 2o.-This morning
the shift of miners appeared as usual
at the Granite Bimetallic hoist ready
and anxious to go to work. The presi-
dent OF the company, the superintend-
ent, foreman and the shift bosses were
also on hand. but the engineers who
were supposed to take the places OF
the striking ones failed to put In an
appearance.
Yesterday afternoon everything
seemed to have been satisfactorily ar
ranged between the old and new en-
g%ineers, but it seems that the old ones
changed their minds later in the day
and notified the new ones that the
strike was still on. II was thought
hat since the company accepted the
demands of the men, and were willing
to put on the wiper and oiler as before.
the principle of the walkout had been
won n they would be permitted to
start up with new men. But II seems
that the old hands want to be yindi-
Gated and to be put back to work, IL
only for a short time. A special meet
ing of the Miners union was called by
| the officers thereof at 1880 O'Clock this
morning for the purpose or waiting
upon the mpan and notifying them
that the union had no hand In the
trouble. 1t seems deplorable that at
this time. when all the men at Gran
lite have only lately moved their fam
lilies thither and have not yet been able
to earn enough clear money to even
reimburse them for their railroad fare.
and the company has just been to an
immense outlay of money In getting
thin0a into Ghana for the nuYnORa of
reopening the mines, that on the
surface appears to be such a little mat
ter as the days pay of n ordinary
laborer should cause a suspension of
operations, destroy the confidence OF
the community and cast a cloud over
the whole section.
The mill is, however, stfl in opera
ton. as are also the pumps In the mine
The mill has been running on ore In
the bins, and What has been supplied
is from the leasers in the upper levels.
These ~leasers, for causes unknown. to-
day also stopped work and the tram
way will cease tonight. How long the
ore on hand Will last Is merely a mat
ter of conjecture. There are any
amount OF rumors afoat. u,
The city has to-day been deprived OF
its daily train and mail service, owing
to an accident to a special coming
from Drummond loaded with coal for
the Bimetalfic mill. The special started
from Drummond and before reachine

the rail and had to be left for the

there at 8 o'clock this evening.

ASSIGNMENT or OFFICERS
The North Atlantic Squadron
Likely to Be Divided.
WATSON'S LITTLE TRIP
He Will Cruise In European Waters.
schiey NAV Get the Command of
the Pacific Squadron-Sampson
viii Have the Home Fleet.

New York, Aug. 2o.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
The navy department has taken under
consideration the reorganization Of the
Atlantic squadron. which now Includes
five fleet commanders. When the force
IS reduced, at least three CT the nag off,
GERS on the home station will be rem
dered supernuous and are to be ordered
to other assignments.
When Admirals Sampson and Schley
come to Washington next week pre-
paratory to going to Cuba and Porto
Rico as members OF the military com
missions, they will be consulted re-
garding the proposed changes, and In
all probability arrangements satisfac-
tory to them will result. IL Is consid-
cred likely that the North Atlantic sta
ton will be divided and one flag officer,
probably ADMIRAL Sampson, retained in
command of the home fleet, while Ad-
miral Schley or Admiral Howell will be
placed In charge OF a well organized
SQUADRON of the West Indies, Gulf Of
Mexico and Caribbean sea.
1t is the impression among naval Off
GERS that Admiral Schley will seize the
opportunity TO secure of the
Pacific squadron on the retirement oil
Admiral Miller on Nov. %, and will be
content to wait ashore for a few weeks
between the termination of his services
on the Porto Rican commission. Ad-
miral Miller's retirement would enable
him to have an important command,
perhaps more important than that OF
the West Indies. as IL includes the
whole Pacific ocean from Alaska to
Cape Horn, as well as Hawaii ano
! Samoa.
Commodore Remey, commanding tho
naval base at Key West. is expected &c
succeed Admiral Matthews as president
OF the examining INC retiring boards
who retires Oct. "a.
The department has made no move
up to this time toward the re-estab'
lishment OF the European or South At
lantic stations, and II Is improbable
that any ships will be sent TO the latte
territory before next year. However
II no complications arise during tn
sessions OF the peace commissioners a
Paris and they succeed in reaching al
early agreement on the terms of tn
convention, Commodore Watson is ex
pected TO take a fine feet to Europe
and after visits OF courtesy to England
and France, may spend the winter II

: Saratoga, Aug. 2o.-The national con-
ference on the foreign policy OF the
United states resumed It's discussions
his morning. 1t was presided over by
Robert Treat Paine Of Boston. In a
brief address he defined himself as an
anti-expansionist We must treat ISL
ands captured from Spain as prizes to
be dealt with as we hin best. We
must do the best we can under the cir
cumstances. While we may hold them
by right of conquest. we should see a
proper form of government established
over each. We must never forget the
principles that underlie this great re
public"
NJ. Storey of Boston next addressed
che conference. At the conclusion OF
Storeys remarks. Paine, chairman,
eaid he concurred with the anti-expan-
eion features of storey's address.
The next speaker was Samuel Com
pers, president OF the Federation Of La
Dor. GomDers opposed the expansion
idea. He asserted that half the popu-
lation OF Hawaii are contract laborers,
virtually slaves. composed mostly OF
Chinese, japanese and Portuguese CT
the Azores islands. He deprecated the
annexation OF Hawaii. but held that the
acquisition of the Philippines by the
United States woul be many tirnes
more hurtfui. The Indian question, hi
said, had been a source of great an
noyarce TO the government. but 1t new
e. compared with the questions thai
would be presented by the acquisition
of the Philippines with their seven q
eight millions of half-civilized inhabi
fants.

expansionist. replied to the anti-expan
sionist statements made by Messrs
Gompers and Storey.
James T. Hooker, president OF tn,

Berlin, Aug. 20.-The signing of the
protocol engrosses the attention of the
press. The more serious papers and
nearly all the periodicals appearing this
week take the view that Spain has only
herself to blame and that the conditions
imposed by the United States are not
excessive.
The Cologne Gazette, discussing the
situation at Manila, highly praises the
American naval officers. expressing its
confidence that their efforts will soon
restore complete order so that business
can be conducted safely. 1t adds:
Nov that the star-spangled banner
waves. all danger to German CONNER
cial interests Is passed"
The Berlin Tageblatt congratulates
Admiral Dewey on his promotion and
says he understands how to preserve
friendly relations with the German
squadron even under trying oircum-
lance
The Zeftung publishes a pessimistic
article from the pen of Professor Lom-
broso, predicting a crisis in Spain, pos
sibly a fall of the dynasty, and the dan
ger to the United States from the rise
Of the military and colonial spirit. The
political and economic relations Of the
United States and Germany are also
much discussed. United States Ambas-
sador White is highly praised for his
u~nceasing efforts to re-establish them
on a thoroughly friendly basis.
From information obtained at the ma
val department, it appears that the gov
eminent maintains a high opinion of the
value Of torpedoes In naval warfare,
despite the contrary experiences of both
the Americans and Spaniards. A lead
Ing naval official says: The Hispano-
American war has proved nothins
against the availability of the torpedo
OF course the torpedo. like other weap'
ons, requires constant practice In order
to make II effective. While the Ameri-
cans have devoted a great deal of at
tention to gunnery and therefore scored
a remarkable success In craftsmanship
against the Spaniards. they have neg
iected torpedo practice, and hence the,
were unable to use this very effective
weapon either in Cuban or Philippine
waters. The S~paniards had no ante
bellum practice of any kind. The re
ports OF our naval experts show ii wa
solely due to these facts that the tor
pedo was not heard from during tn
war. We maintain the opinion, hell
before the war, that the torpedo, whel
used rightly inc cautiously, is a mos
formidable weapon"
