manded a lease of Wei-Hai-Wei, on the
Shan-Tung peninsula, after the Japanese

concede the demand, which is believed to be
favorably regarded by Japan.

Conference, and Bishop Fowler occupied
the pulpit of Centenary Church. The one
hundred colored ministers are still talking
about the bishops remarks when he adj
dressed the class of candidates for the min
istry. In referring to the color line the
bishop said it was not on account OF their
color that he and other white people did not
go to colored churches, but on account of
the character of the attendance and the
preachers. He told the preachers that
they must pay their debts make no
more, save their money and acquire prop
erty and educate themselves, when they
would stand on an equality with other peo-
pie. He urged them to devote most of their
efforts toward the young people Il have
not much faith in these old coons, he said.

of age you might just as well whistle up a

them against ''crankifcation" He said

WASHINGTON, April 3.--The Spanish

there has addressed an appeal to the in
surgents asking to arrange an armistice for
the purpose of arriving at terms for peace.
The full text of the message could not be

appealed to on the ground that they are all
Cubans, and should unite for peace and lib

states that Spain is willing to enlarge the
present scope of autonomy, and will suggest
such plan to the Cortes, which is soon to

MADRID, April ga dispatch from
Porto Rico announces that three large YES
sells are passing that island. going west
w9rd 1t is added that they are believed
ID be American ships.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-Naval officials
being shown the dispatch from Madrid rela-
tiYe to the three vessels sighted going by
Porto Rico, say that the Spanish SUPPOSE
ton that they were American vessels is
erroneous, for no American vessels are in
that vicinity.
The Navy Department has received a dis
patching saying that the Spanish war ship
Carlos v has been delayed from sailing for
Fefral up to this time, because she was
waiting for the arrival of twenty French
machinists. Seven of these machinists were
selected and taken aboard and the vessel
departed for Ferral. This confirms informa-
ton which the Navy Department has re-
ceived frequently that the Spanish navy is
very poorly supplied with machinists for
war vessels, and has been seeking expe-
rienced men in France.

BRITISH GOODNESS"
Charge of Lack of Sympathy with
America Resented.

London Daily Mail.

Expressions of disapproval of England's
alleged lack of sympathy with the United
States are numerous on the other side of
the Atlantic just now. The charge is an
unjust one. There are several reasons why
Great Britain remains comparatively unin-
terested in the condition of affairs as be-
tween Spain and the United States, not the
least being the fact that we are better &C
quainted with the Spaniards and their pa
per navy than are the Americans, and are
convinced that the AnglO-SaxOn will always
defeat the Latin. Indeed, the trend of Brit
ish thought is towards surprise that the
greatest of republics should excite itself
unduly about so poor foe. England, alone
among European nations. has throughout
sympathiZed with America in her endeavor
to free Cuba of the horrors of Spanish rule
Apart from the fact that John Bull Is not
given to public demonstrations of his feel
ings, it should not be forgotten in America
that the Anglo-Saxon on this side of the
Atlantic is busy with far greater troubles
Let our American friends remember that
the old country is conducting wars in India
and in various parts OF Africa. and is
threatened, not by Spain, but by several OF
the great military and naval powers of Eu-
rope and they will realize that, with our
full trust in American capacity to deal with
Spanish iTnpertinence, we are, for the mo :
ment scarcely in a position to do more
than look to the honor of our own section
of the English-speaking peoples.
The Americans have our full sympathy in
a cause identical with that we have so often
fought. And they have it at time when
France, Germany and Russia are packing
Spain as fully and almost as openly as they
are opposing British efforts for freedom Of
the individual and of foreign trade the wide
world over Both sections of our race viii
remember that.
But there is no occasion now to talk of a
defensive and offensive alliance between
Great Britain and America The diSpropor-
ton indeed between our mission and Amers-
cas- makes one impossible. Our kilograms
from New York are full Of suggestion. but
Ii was not in England that X originated.
There will be time TO propose this very de-
sirable re-cementing Of tie race when
America is ready to face the splendid re-
spoTssabiIities IL entails

that man descended from his own ancestor,

Clure issued a permanent injunction last
night against the Ohio Oil Company, oper-

grounds of gas waste. He also fined the
