Alger Don't Like Criticism.

Secretary Alger feels that his depart

criticism upon the selection of troops for
active service and pronounces without
foundation the allegation that politics have
dictated these assignments. In the case

board the cars, it has already been eX-
planned by authority that the change was
made in recognition of the business of
complaint that Illinois had already regi-
ments in active service at the front, while
Indiana had not one. Even in that case,
however Secretary Alger did not make
the selection of the regiment to be held
back; he simply instructed the general
commanding the expedition to select one
Illinois regiment for detention without
designating it.

London, March 15.-lOur representa-

credited by President COlman, of Liberia,
as confidential emissary TO Lord Sails

he bears letters intrUsted to him on the
eve OF his departure from MonroNia. ne
CiSt of these letters is a request Tor CLOS
er relations with Great Britain ana the
United States, TO which countries ffesl-
dent Colman appeals TO insure the inde-
penGence ana development OF the coun-
try. 1t Is understood that this step Is
prompted by fear of French and German
cncroachments threatening the integrity
OF the Republic. There is great rivalry
between Paris and Berlin TO obtain as
tendency I'm Liberia. In the course of the
Interview Bishop Hartzell related an mel

his departure He said that a German

indemnity for the German and the pun

hours threatening that if this reparation
was not made to land marines to compel
compliance with his demands. President
Colman succeeded in convincing the gov

the Iiberian courts. The matter Is now
the subiec Of negotiations with Berlin,
but the special interest in the affair and
what moro than ever determined Presi-
dent Colman to commission Bishop Hart

that cOncurrently with the ultimatum the
German governor submitted carefully

movement Is without precedence in its
violence, if trade conditions are consid-

tions for war are being made by the
bankers.
Not only was all this gold engaged for
import since the Maine was blown up, but
81, ,01o 900 Of it has been received already
and bankers estimate that several mill
lions of gold must be used In London to
pay for warships which we buy. Yet the
engagements yesterday were heavier than
ever, the amount being $3.50 90. This
makes the exact total sol $50 900.
Bankers In Europe are trying 10 stop
the flow of gold from there, but their at
tempts prove futile.
The whole world owes gold to us.

are on an enormous scale, and those OF

had supplanted in the affections of

The girls were formerly fast friends.
Each is about twenty years old. Miss
Reu5is. up to a month or five weeks ago,
WAS engaged to marry Harry Schaeffer.
She had a gathering of friends to meet
her intended husband, and among the
guests was her friend, Katharine Welt
zell
At this gathering Sshaeffer and Miss
Weitzell met for the first time. AL
though he and Miss Bemis were to be
married next month, Schaeffer seemed
TO be infatuated with Miss Weitzen and
she with him. There was a quarrel be-
tween the man and Miss Bemis, and
then his attentions to Miss Weitzen be-
came constant.
Their engagement was announced a
few days ago.
Miss Bemis went to Miss Weitzell' S
home Yesterday afternoon and asked TO
see the young woman. She was shown
into the parlor, and in a few minutes
Miss Weitzell entered.
As she extended her hand to welcome
Miss Bemis the latter threw the vitriol
at her. One side of Miss Weitzells face
is badly burned. and she Is disfigured for
life. Much of the acid fell on her dress
but before il had eaten through the
cloth the clothing was cut away. Miss
Bemis has not been arrested.

The pluckv American sailor is eXemph-

cruiser Montgomery. Despite the iact
that 25S of their fellows perished WITHIN

pluck. one of the sailors voiced its sentl-
ment. when questioned in regard 10 their
position. by saying:
"Oh we don't mind it, All we want
is chance for one broadside before we
sink"
The Spanish were much irritated by the
way i'm which the cruiser Alfonso MI
was towed helplessly from buoy to buoy
TO make room for the American cruiser
Montgomery. 1t was only accomplished
by Capt. Sigsbee's frmness.
He wants the Montgomery to be as
close as possible to the big Spanish
cruiser Vizcaya. Accidents" are less
likely TO happen under such condition.
The ships now ride very close together.
Should the Montgomery be blown up, the
pride OF the Spanish navy probably
would go with her.
The Fern was formerly moored to this
adjacent buoy. When the Montgomery
was expected and the Fern was about to
sail north. Capt Sigsbee asked that the
Fern should be given an extra buoy tenn
porarily. This was done. but as soon as
the little Fern moved, a tug moved the
Alfonso XII to the coveted iron box.
Capt. Sigsbee protested firmly. The ad-
miral thought a while then said a mis-
take had been made. and the Alfonso
was towed back again. leaving the buoy
for the American cruiser.
1t is not known here why Admiral Sic
ard asked Secretary Long 10 employ the
Fern to carry supplies TO the reconcen-
trados. instead of the Montgomery and
Nashville. II seems to have been either
ready compliance with Spanish demands
or Admiral Sicard's fear of allowing two
valuable cruisers in Spanish controlled
harbors at the same time. Now only the
Montgomery is so exposed, and she is

THE wOODFoRDS BoYCoTTED.
Impossible for the American Min
listers Family TO Buy Goods.

Madrid, March 15.-The Wood
fords are being subjected to a boy
cott not merely by society, but even
by the very tradespeople, so much
so that the United States envoy has
been obliged to procure his daily sup
plies of meat, vegetables, bread and
milk through the Hotel de Paris here,
the proprietor of which declines to be
n party to any such petty manner OF
venting natioI al hatred upon an official
who is stationed here with his family
by his government to fulfill his very
difficult duty toward his country.
1t will scarcely be believed that the
bakers of this city have refused TO sup
ply the American legation with even a
loaf of bread. no butcher will consent
to furnish any meat, the dry goods
stores viii not even sell piece OF rlD-
bon to the ladies of the legation, who
are forced To get everything from
Paris, while the boycott is carried so
far that all the embassy linen has TO
be Numbered on the premises of the
embassy, since no laundry will under
take to do any Yankee washing.
This hovcott. which, while supremely
ridiculous. is subjecting the family and
staff of Gen. WCodford to no little in
convenience, is the work Of a number
of the leaders of society here, great
ladies belonging to the court and

vited him when at table to drink to a
toast which they conceived would en-
barrass him. but to which he respond
ed in such q manner as to turn the
tables and to eXtOrt the admiration OF
the other foreign diplomats present.
The ladies did not relish the lesson,
denounced the general as guilty of dis
courtesy, and have circulated charges
to this effect to such an extent that one
hears even in shops and cafes the
American envoy spoken of as the
general who is devoid Of courtesy To
Spanish women" This is all very triV-
ial and rather RIDICULOUS. YET II may
serve to convey an Idea of the actual
state of affairs here and especially Of
the very unpleasant predicament of the
Woodfords The only danger is that

general and his family. encouraged as
it is by the leaders of society here.

more dangerous means Of giving vent
