The New Spanish Minister of Marine q
Talker Like the Rest.
Madrid, May 90, 8 a. MIN taking
possession of the admiralty, the new min
lister of marine made patriotic speech to
the assembled officers, during which he
recalled ''the splendid example set by
our sailors at Cavite, in dying for Spain.'
Lieut.. Artor de Carantha Carnaze, the
former Spanish naval attache at Wash
ington, has arrived here. He is quoted as
by agents of the United States govern
ment.
Advices from Manila say the situation
there has improved. Capt.Gen. Augu sti,
it is added has regulated the price Of
provisions.
1t is also reported from Manila that the
foreign consuls have sent Capt. Gen.
Spain. This is markedly the case with
the German consul and the action of the
Germans is said to be due to orders re-
ceived from Berlin
Admiral Cervera, says cable despatch
from Santiago de Cuba, did not sight any
American ships during the voyage: He
announces that the crews of his ships are
in perfect health and enthusiastic
Continuing, the despatch says:
1.-THE blockading vessels quickly left on
the approach of the squadron, whose ar
rival has created the greatest excitement
and enthusiasm at Santiago de Cuba.
Immense crowds of people thronged the
quays and chsered our sailors Havana
relief at the safe arrival of the fleet is
very greaJ, as it was feared the American
ships which left the blockade, had gone
to intercept the Spanish fleet. 1t is now
believed the Americans fled in order to
avoid a reverse"
The minister of marine said he con-
graduated himself upon the first event
happening in his administration augur-
ing SO we'll for the navy and for the coun-
try. 3et
A despatch from Havana SAWS two
American ships ahave ,bombarded Guam
tanamo and adds that the Spanish gun
boat Sandora and a regiment of marines
ropulsed attempts made to land there.
According to the Spanish version OF
the affair, the Spaniards did not suffer
any loss and the Americans retired.
1t is evident that the new Spanish cabi-
net intends to push the campaign vigor-
ously and, it is added, the ministers
Twill also negotiate actively with foreign
diplomats to protect Spain against a COM
bination of her enemies"
In an interview today, the minister of
marine is quoted as saying:
~ am greatly rejoiced at the sale arri-
val of the Spanish fleet ct Santiago de
Cuba. 1t is an immense triumph for the
Spanish navy. The sailors who executed
the movement and those who planned it
are worthy of all praise.

THURSDAYS FIRE ON THE HILL.
TO the Editor of the Press:

The fire on the Hill last night shows
that Ward One needs hook and ladder
truck on the Hill badly. If that fire had
been in ths night, how many people do
you suppose would have been smothersd
or badly injured in getting out Of the
house: as in the night person cannot al.
ways see what is best to do in sudden
accident. The fire also shows to tho peo-
pie on the Hill, who pay taxes, what a
god thing it would be to take the depart
ment out Of politics 1t is time the de-
the men attend solely to the business OF
putting out fires. for which they are paid

Funeral of VIM. Delaney viii Be Held To-
day.
Fitchbur, Dec. 9.-The body of Will
liam Delaney, the dead soldier of Com
pany d, Sixth regiment, L. S. v, was
escorted from the home of his uncle
this morning to the state armory on
Church street by squad of his com
pany members, and from noon until
this evening the body lay in state, sur
rounded by the American colors, and
with an armed guard on duty. Many
citizens called at the armory and paid
their last respects to the soldier poy
who gave his life for his country. He
is the first to die since the return of the
company to this country, although
there are several on the sick list at the
Burbank hospital.
Tomorrow the body will be escorted
from the armory by the members of
both military companies and the local
pos of the G. A. r., and at the grave
the hero will be given a, militaryfuneral.
A firing squad will fire a volley over the
grave, and taps win be sounded. This
will be the first military funeral in the
city since the civil war.

MORE SIGNERS.
Anti-Imperialists Get Ad-
ditions to Supporters.

The auti-imperialistic movement
which has reached Worcester in the
way Of circulation of petitions against
the annexation of the Philippines or amy
other foreign territory without the free
consent Of the people, as outlined in
The Spy, met with further encourage
ment yesterday, according to the state
ment Of Prot William A. Abbot of the
classical high school, who first brought
the Letition to this city.
The petition now has about % sigma
lures, and, while Prof. Abbot made no
active canvass of the neighborhood yes
terday. he also met with no refusals,
which IS q better record than the me-
mortal which is to be presented TO Sem
ator Hoar for presentation to congress,
has previously enjoyed.
Prof. Abbot had but to mention the
matter and the signatures were as
sured. Further signatures We're made
by the teachers in the high schools
The sentiment that Senator Hoar, in
his attitude against expansion, should
receive the endorsement of the people
of his home city, has considerable
weight with the people who have seen
the memorial. and many whose views
on the subject have not reached full
ly crystallized state have signed it,
simply to show their confidence in their
senator. and TO approve whatever po-
sition he may choose to take in the
situation.
Another development in the work
yesterday was the circulation of pc
tition among the students of the Poly
teChnic Institute. The petition re-
ceived marked approval from the stu
dent body, and many signatures We're
received without any actual canvass,
which seems to point significantly to
the mature elaboration with which the
younger generation have considered it,
and also 10 a keen realization on their
part OF the great dangers that are said
to confront the nation in the proposed
territorial addition.
Eoth petitions will be kept in circu-
lation for several days, and it is now
expected that others will appear in the
field. until the city is thoroughly COW
cred by The anu-imperialist league.
Clark University is to receive atten-
ton, and the petition viii probably be
sent to Holy Cross College.

JUDGE ADVOCATES.
Secretary Long Approves OF sHI for ths
Organization of Corps.

Secretary Long Approves OF Bill for this
Organization of Corps.
Washington, Dec. with approval
Of the secretary Of the navy the draft
Of a bill for organization of a corps Of
judge advocates has been prepared at
the navy department for submission to-
congress. Secretary Long advocated
this matter in his last annual report
In his opinion, the time has come when
the subject is of so much Importance as
to justify the creation Of a small corps
Of the character indicated upon basis
Of organization corresponding to that
now existing in the army. THE eff
cheney OF such corps" says Secretary
Long, would be materially promoted
if it were provided that appointments
might be made from the service or
from civil life, at the discretion of this
appointing power, persons only being
eligible who are learned in both civil
and military law, promotions to be
made according to relative seniority as
vacancies occur.
The duties which devolye upon the
office of the Judge advocate general of
the army are Of great Importance to
the department. He is the legal ad-
wiser of the secretary of the navy, has
the drawing up and making of all con-
tracts for the construction of vessels,
the manufacture of armor, etc. and
has direct charge OF all matters involv-
ing the administration of Justice in the
navy. The work Of the officers of the
judge advocate general has steadily in
creased, and il Of such an important
nature and so efficiently performed az
to merit the approval Of the depart

BREWER & co..
WORSE THAN SLAVERY.
Reported Conditions of Affairs in Porte
RIcan Sugar Plantations.

Washington, Dec. 9-Assistant Sec
rotary Vanderlip, who is expected to
arrive in the United States from Porto
Rico next Monday,-has made prelim
mary report to Secretary Gage Of his
observations in that island. Under date
of the 9th ultimo, he reports that the
military authorities are getting along
fairly well with customs collections.
Everything received had been deposited
with Deford & Co., financial agents of
the government, and the amount now
on deposit aggregates more than
500, 900.
Spanish customs officials have been
put to work at the various ports, and
this system works satisfactorily The
men, he writes, are honest. and it is
thought by prominent military officials
that the government is getting every
thing it should.
Military officers at San Juan contend
that the reports that have reached the
United States consul concerning the
outbreaks and disturbances of the peace
on the island are without substantial
foundation. During the evacuation
there were more or less disturbances Of
a rather personal and private charac-
ter, but the situation now. Mr. Wander
lip writes, is as peaceable as it is in
the United States.
It has been a tremendous task getting
the civil administration of affairs into
operation again. An endeavor has been
made to put the Spanish officials, so far
as could be done, back into their places.
The American commanding officers
have been Withdrawing guards from
the sugar plantations, and they think
this is going to have a good effect The
condition of affairs, it is stated, was
worse than slavery at some of these
plantations The work was done by
poems" who received So pesetas q day
on an average, and were then subjected
to the very worst type of Country
store" These stores gave short weights
in everything sold. Our officers made
the owners of the plantation show some
sort of fair treatment to the poems"
refused requests for guards and have
heard nothing further about riots.
The report closes by saying. Il learn
that there is a great demand here for
boat for the coasting trade around
the island. There is only one small boat
engaged in the trade, and she has
freight from here away beyond her ca
pacity, so that her owners refuse all
shipments except small ones upon
which they can get the highest rate.
A small steamer could undoubtedly
make good profit in the coasting trade"

Fi.chburg. Dec 9.-John A. Collette
was arrested by the police this evening
for alleged felonious assault, said to
have been committed on the seven
year-old daughter of John Mcnamara,
and if the details that have been given
out are correct the seriousness of the
affair has not been equalled in this city.
DR.. II. IL. Lyons, the attending physi-

named Collette as her assailant. 1t was
his expressed opinion that the age of
the child added to the seriousness of
the affair and that it was doubtful if
The child would recover. The assailant
will be arraigned in the police court
