ENGLAND IN THE PACIFIC
IMPRESSING STEAMERS IN VIEW
OF WAR PROSPECTS.
Empress Boats Being Made Ready-A
Big Fleet Pointed Toward the
French Islands.

British boats in the Pacific liable to
be impressed in time of war for uuty
as auxiliary cruisers are being round
ed up by tile foreign office. There was
also at the latest advices every pros
pect that in event of hostiities,
there would be strong combined
movement for both Esqumault and
Sydney upon the French islands in the
south. The northern fleet would most
likely pass this way. These dispat-
ches bear upon the subject:
VANCOUVER, November 2.-Ac-
cording to the statement of Canadian
Pacific official, advices have been re-
ceived to hold the Empress liners in
readiness for admiralty orders to
change the steamers into auxiliary
cruisers, and that probably six guns
would he placed aboard at Esqui-
mault before the sailing of the En-
press of Japan on Monday. He said
also that the same orders had been
cabled the other Empress liners at
Iongkong and Yokohama.
VICTORIA. b. c.. November L.
Preparations incident to he crisis be-
tween Great Britain and France over
the Fashoda question continue at Es-
Quimault All the men are aboard
ship and shore leave is but memory
The flagship this morning lies out at
her buoy flying the three cornered
red flag forward, a sign that she was
loading powder and ammunition. She
has completed coaling and will have
completed provisioning tomorrow,
when she is expected to sail. 1t is
generally thought by the naval men
that she will follow the Amphion,
which has started on her long cruise
to the Society Islands, but nothing is
definitely known, save by Admiral Pal
User, as he is to leave Esquimault har-
Dor under sealed orders.
While this move southwark to the
French Pacific colonies is thought by
many to be a descent on those islands
which. should war be declared. will
be taken possession of also, it is con-
coded that it is also a defensive move,
there being several French warships
in the southern Pacific, which in the
event of war. would do considerable
damage to the British possessions in
the south.

WARLIKE ACTIVITY.

HALIFAX, y. S., November Mot
since the Trent affair has such ac-
tivity been displayed in military and
naval circles here. After the order
had been received to have the battle
ship Renown put in thorough repair
an order was received, the purpose of
which was not known until this fore
noon, when eight large teams and 200
meh, including sailors and marines,
were put to work transferring pow
der, ammunition and small arms OF cv-
cry description from the magazines at
the docl<Eards to the distributing shed
and thence to the several warships in
port. The work continued all day.
VICTORIA, b. c., November L.
The flagship of the North Pacific
squadron is expected to sail tomorrow
following the Amphion southwark. y
rush order of forty tons of provisions
was placed with one of the leading
merchants today, and the goods are
being placed aboard rapidly.
The Imperieuse will sail under seal
ed orders not to be opened until out
of sight of land. The Amphion took
on board one of the fastest torpedo
boats on the station, and the Leander
now on the dry dock has also tallcn
one aboard. This is the first time this
has been done in three years. When
the Leander comes out of the dry
dock it is believed she will also go
south. The torpedo destroyer Spar
rOwhawk, a long time out of commits
sion, will be recommissioned at once.
The torpedo destroyer Nirago was pro
VisiOned and coaled this morning an
it is thought she will accompany the
flagship. The sloop of war Icarus is
waiting and a new crew is expected to
arrive in a day or two. The Pheasant
will remain here.

affect the situation it was a singular
coincidence that the activity among our
ships was perceptibly heightened, and
work of coaling and provisioning those
in the harbor was rushed with more
than usual haste.
The ships were surreptitiously creep

ammunition, over a hundred Mauser
rifles and other war stores. The find
was made by the United States mar
shal's officers and dissipates all doubt
as to the Argonauta'S status as war
prize, decision against the vessel had
been rendered earlier in the day by the
pIiZe court.
A like decision was rendered in the
case Of the Amrosia Bolivar and the
schooners Candidita, Mathilda and So
phia. The only formality remaining
to make these vessels the absolute
property Of the United States is the
confirmation by the federal court au-
thorities of the findings Of the prize
commission.
The cases of the Buena Ventura, the
first capture Of the war, and the Pedro,
Catalina, Miguel Jover, Panama and
Guido, all large and valuable steamers,
will have to be tried in regular form

Of the ships and cargoes.
The Argonauta was taken three
weeks ago by the United States gun
boat Nashville off Cienfuegos. On
board were Col. Vicente Cortijo, said
to be a brother-in-law to Lieut.. Gen
Valeriano Weyler and twenty eight
other Spanish soldiers now in Fort Nc

dispatches for Gen. Blanco and other

unfounded. The only new arrival Of

SAN FRANCISCO. May 2O-The
work Of repairing the defects on the
condensing tubes on the cruiser
Charleston was completed at o'clock
this morning, but the vessel will not
leave for Manila until tomorrow.
A duplicate set Of condenser tubes
has been ordered from the Union Iron
works, and it will take great portion
of today to inspect and test these new
tubes Then the coal supply will be
replenished, and on the first tide to-
morrow morning the Charleston will
start on it's fast run to Honolulu. 1t
will probably take six days for this
run, and after a couple Of days spent
in recoaling, the Charleston will pro-
coed at leisurely gait of about eight
knots an hour to Manila This run
will take about three weeks.
In addition to the three train loads
of troops from Nebraska, which reach
ed the city yesterday, thirteen more
heavily loaded specials containing the
balance Of the Nebraska soldiers, a
regiment each from Minnesota, Kansas
and Colorado, and a battalion from
Wyoming, are now on the way here
from Ogden.
There Is scarcity of cars on the
Southern Pacific, but the company is
doing all in it's power to get the East
ern troops here as soon as possible.
Neither the City of Sydney nor the
Australia has received any supplies
yet for the trip to Manila.
Carpenters are putting up hunks and
other temporary structures for the
transportation of troops, but it will
take fully a week to get the vessels
ready for departure.
Gen. Otis, who is in command of the
first Manila expedition, has not been
officially informed when he is to start,
but thinks he will get away on the
City Of Picking on Sunday. Everything
Is in readiness for the reception of the
men on board the steamer and provi-
sions are being stored as rapidly as
possible. Rations to last 1,400 men for
six months will be taken, besides am
munition, arms and machinery for the
repairing of Admiral Dewey's fleet.
Maj. Mccarthy, ranking surgeon ct
