Special Cable Dispatch TO The WoIlt.
Lcr ON, Oct. 22.-John Morley,
the { ninent Liberal statesman and
writer, has been chosen by the Glad
stone family to write Mr.. Glad
stones life.
The only obstacle to bis selection
from the first was his agnosticism,
which = was thought might unfit
him for dealing with the religious
side OF Mr.. Gladstone's character
and career.
No living English statesman was
more thoroughly in sympathy with
Mr. Gladstone, both mentally and
politically, or is better equipped by
personal knowledge and intimacy to
give an idea of the man himself.
1t is predicted that Mr.. Morley
will devote himself to his kerculean
labor for the next few years, with
drawing to great extent from
politics.
This will leave the Irish Home
Rule cause with only one really sin
cere, uncompromising advocate
among the Liberal leaders-Lord
Spencer.
LORD PETRE's BROTHER SENT TO JAIL.
The Hon. Bernard Petre, brother
of the present Lord Petre, has been
sentenced to six months imprison-
meut for passing worthless check
for 500, He is only twenty seventy
years old, but the Judge took a
strong view of his conduct, as the
fraud was perpet7ated on P-tre's
landlady, although he had an ac-
count at the bank on which the
check was drawn. The sentence is
regarded as excessive and an effort
is being made 10 get it reduced.

ANOTHER EVIL TO SUPPRESS.

Many of the so.ealed massage
establishments 10 reality are nothing
better than hotbeds of vice and
Matchmaking. They are openly
advertised on posters through the
West End streets, yet the police
declare that thereis no legal remedy
unless the places are complained of
by neighboring householders.
The Attorney General has decided
that the owners OF these establish
ments are not reached by the new
act unless they happen to be men,
which is condition easily evaded.
So the Government will introduce
a bill at the next session of Parlia
ment requiring every massage
establishment to have a government
license.

EXODUS OF scoUNDRELs.

Parliament passed bill at the
last session giving to the police
power to prosecute as rogues and
vagabonds men who live ON the
earnings of certain women. Hither-
to they were secure from inter
ference, and their number grew to
such proportions as to constitute a
horrible scandal.
Since this act has come into opera
ton the police have been active in
hunting the men 10 whom it was
meant to apply, but have discovered
that the vast bulk of them have left
the country. In an area in the heart
Of the West End, including Regent
street, Oxford street aud soho,
where foreign women maioly reside,
the police had made out list of
nearly four hundred of these men,
intending to prosecute them when
the act came into force, but all tx
cept very few have decamped.
They are liable to six months i'm.
prisonment If convicted. Several
have been sentenced to that punish
ment already ia various parts Of the
town.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June s, 3:l5
p. ma Madrid account OF the San
tiago bombardment admits that the
Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes was
sunk by American %proiectiles and
says five sailors and nine marines on
board were killed, including Marine
Chief Emilio Acasta Eyorman and
Ensign Molins. Twelve of the Span
iards were wounded.
The same account says three Ameri-
can assaults were repulsed and that
the Spanish Notifications received
little damage, which should be taken
with a grain of salt, coming as it
does from Spanish sources.
One of the Brooklyn's shells struck
the Spanish cruiser Vizcaya's port
quarter, dismounting her guns, dis
abling her rudder and badly w%ounding
several sailors and marines of ner
crew.
a Spanish report says Capt. Phillips,
of the American battleshfp Texas, was
killed, but this is denied at the de-
partment here.
An official statement from Admiral
Sampson says ne has reduced all the
Notifications around Santiago and
asks the department. to hurry up Gen.
Shafter and troops to force entire
capitulation.

WASHINGTON, June a-The navy de-

cadets at Annapolis o opportunity to

On the wal ships In lieu of the GUS
tomary summer vacation As @ result
about half of the second-class men and
quite q number OF the third-class men
nave been assigned to duty on the In
diana, New York, Iowa and other ships
in the West Indian waters
The assignments are not general,
applying to an entire class, but are en-
tirely elective by the cadets them
selves. They are showing much eager
G for the service, as disclosed by the
large number q applications thus far
made.
The department hos approved the
application In all cases, unless some
personal or family objection was
raised. The assignments are made to
the larger ships az they afford the best
accommodation, the smaller gunboats
and auxiliary craft not having the
room for extra men The cadets will
be made useful mainly as signal Off.

1T Is wonderful how the sentiment
favoring annexation seems to be grow
ing in this country. Along this limo
the Moberly Monitor, under the head
of "lmperialism," says:
To reach out, take in new territory
and have q hand in the affairs of the
world has been contrary to the tradi-
tions and genius of our form of gov
ernment. Now, however, it is a ques-
ton whether, in the progress of
events, the capitalization of sentiment
and the march OF civilization, we will
be permitted to occupy this place of
isolation OF exclusiveness any longer.
Thoughtful persons doubt whether our
old policy was morally right. 1t GER
tainly vas a selfish one. The Anglo
Saxon idea stands for light, intelligence
and progress. 1t has been the evan
gelist OF civilization and the pioneer
of progress. Light and emancipation
from moral and physical bondage fol.
low In the wake of the Anglo-Saxon.
IL our institutions and methods are
good we have no right to withhold
them.
