its shipbuilding yards at this port. She

ers' hands, and before delivery TO own
ers was subjected to survey by an offi-
Ger sent especially from London. Her

May Be a Proposal to Arbitrate.

1t is evident that the purpose of the
Spanish members Of the Peace Commits
sion is to submit the several questions in
dispute to arbitration of European pow
ers. The United States will not accept
arbitration, and any proposal to arbitrate
will be met by most emphatic no. This
country will not subject the fruits Of vic
tory to the hazard of foreign govern
ments. The United States knows what it
wants, and intends to have 1t, and have
it at once, and so do the people know what
beer they want, and will accept nothing else
but Heurichs. All who have induigei in
a glass of Heurich's are as persistent in
having it as the United States is on not
submitting the several questions to arbi-
tration.

GREAT COFFEE DRINKERS.
Consul Ruffin's Predictions ms to the
Republic of Paraguay.

In a report to the State Department
Consul Ruffin says: Brazil is supposed to
produce more than half the coffee con-
sumed by all the world He adds that
the land in Paraguay is suitable for the
cultivation of the coffee plant, being
damp, level and easy to cultivate. The
consul says there are now about 343 407
coffee plants in the republic of Paraguay,
and all the product can be readily dis
posed of in the American market, because
the people are geat coffee drinkers.
If time and attention be devoted to this
branch of labor, it is believed that coffee
growing will be one of the most profitable
industries of Paraguay.
