ITALY IS FRIENDLY.
More So Than Any European Power,
Except England.

Washington. July 9.-General Draper,
the American ambassador TO Italy, has
arrived in the city on leave of absence for
90 days. He had talk with President Nc
kinley. today, having first been to the
state department, where he was in con-
ference with Judge Day for a long time.
1t is absolutely known that General
Drapers visit has no connection with the
talk of Spain making overtures for peace.
He gave the administration 10 under
stand that the whole of Europe is anxious
to see peace and is gradually putting
pressure on Spain to ask for honorable
terms from the United States. General
Draper's opinion is that Italy is more
friendly to the United States than any
European power except England. General
Diapers understanding is that Italy will
not interfere in anything this government
may do in the Philippine islands. 1t is
said he has informed the state depart
ment that all the information received by
him in Rome was to the effect that Ger
many is likely TO make more demands as
to the Philippines than any European
power. England, as he understands the
drift in diplomatic circles, will be glad
to see the United States permanently take
possession of the islands.

TRIBUTES TO AMERICAN NAVY
BRITISH LION Is PROUD OF HER
WHELPS.
All Englishnen Feel a Thrill of
Pride When They Read Of the
Performance of SIMPSONS Ships.

London, July 9.-The weekly newspa-
pers today, in discussing the war, all
pay glowing tributes to the American
navy. Even the Saturday Review says:
1T is impossible not to feel certain
pride in the achievements of men of
our own race. Every Englishman, too,
will remember that ii was the possess
sion of this same quality, the fine
craftsmanship which the Americans
displayed, which gave us victories, both
on land and on sea, from Crecy to the
Crimea, and something peculiar and
noble happened in this fight which
showed in far higher degree the kim
ship between the two peoples. Don't
cheer shouted Captain Phillip, the
poor devils are dying 1t seems to us
that this evidence of tender sympa-
thetic humanity is just as fine as the
Kiss me, Hardy, of the dying Mel
son."
The Spectator, in long article on the
same subject, says:
THE first thought of all Englishmen
is that the American fleet did its work
splendidly. The whole performance of
Admiral SIMPSONS fleet was in accord
ance with the best traditions of Anglo
Saxon navies, and every Englisbman
has read of their doings with a flush
of pride. There was the same, old,
hard pounding as the Elizabethan sea-
dogs used; the same curious mixture of
steadiness, daring, GOODNESS and reck-
less dash. The moral aspect of what
was almost the first and of what may
be the last fleet action between the
Spanish and English races, is very
much alike. In both cases it was the
men behind the gun, who, in the last
resort, won the battle.
The battle shows that the American
navy is a most effective fighting ma
chine. We did not need to be told
that here. We knew it already, and
realized of what stuff the lions whelps
are made. They, however, did not know
it on the continent, though they ap-
parently know it now.

Chicago, July 9.-Commissioner Lorin A.

PACIFIC STEAMSHIPS.
Hawaiian Trade Now Goes to Amer
lean Vessels.

San Francisco, July 9.-The Pacific
Mail Steamship company is seeking to
purchase the steamships Belgic, Gaelic
Coptic and Doric. operated now be-
tween this port, Honolulu, Yokohama
and Hongkong by the Occidental g.
Oriental Steamship company. The an
nexation of the Hawaiian islands has
given an impetus to the movement,
added to which is the fact that the
Pacific Mail has now no ships of its
own left wilerewith to operate it's
trans-Pacific service. All of the yes
sells of the latter line have been taken
for troop ships by the government.
The Occidental company will no long
er be able to continue its service be-
tween San Francisco and Honolulu, as
its steamers are under British register.
The Hawaiian islands now being
American territory, no foreign ships
will be permitted to carry freight or
passengers between any of the island
ports and any American port.

TRAGEDY AT CAMP MERRITT.

Shoots Himself and Will Die.

San Francisco. July 9.-Private John

volunteer infantry, shot himself this
afternoon while cleaning his rife. The
ball entered mis- breast passed through
his right lung and emerged beneath the
shoulder blade. inficting a wound that
was regarded as almost necessarily
mortal. Dale was alone in mis- tent when
the accident occurred.
Dale's place of residence is Aberdeen.
$. D. He is unmarried. Soon after the ac-
cident he received the last rite of the
Catholic church at the hands of Father
O'Brien. The board of inquiry found that
the occurrence was accidental and CEN
sured no one. Had it been case of
suicide-as was at first reported-no claim
for a pension could be allowed. 1t was
this consideration largely that induced a
prompt investigation.
