posal of the British Admiralty. This is a work which will take some time, 0 very large supply of money and great adroitness as well as courage, for, re- luctant as the Continent is to face America, no such blockade could be es- abolished without all the powers inter- ested in the Mediterranean growing restless and excited. The difficulty will be increased by the very weakness of Spain. If Great Britain were block aded, or France, the great cities would soon compel statesmen to listen to terms of peace; but Spain has not de- veloped into modern industrial coun- try, and while her people have bread and onions, and oil, and wine, they may be entirely indifferent to the fate of the mercantile classes, whose numbers, eX- cept in Catalonia. are comparatively imperceptible.
 Of course all these things may not happen, but whether they do or not it is not wise to calculate on an easy and speedy triumph. The surest way to bring about such a triumph is to pre- pare for long war and then make it as short as possible.

ENGLAND,s ATTIrUDE.

The Right Honorable Joseph Cham berlain, Secretary of State for the Col onies, talked right out in meeting at Birmingham last evening. There is a powerful and generous nation," said MT. Chamberlain, speaking our lan- guage, bred of our race and having in- terests identical with ours. would go so far as to say that war itself would be cheaply purchased if in a great and noble cause the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack should wave together over an Anglo-Saxon alliance. It is one of the most satisfactory results Of Lord Salisbury's policy that at the present time these two great nations understand each other better than they ever have done since over a century ago they were separated by the blunder of British government"
 These are impressive and important words. They will make stir in Europe and will call forth in this coun- try much friendly response. A friend in need is a friend indeed, and England has shown herself friendly to this country by both words and acts And some of her acts have saved us from much embarrassment and trouble.

MOVING A GIANT TORTOISE.

Difficulties of Installing An Aged
 Galapagan Reptile in the London
 'Zoo."
 10 Walter Rotnschild, who has purchased the gigantic reptile and de- posted it in the new tortoise-house at the Geological Gardens, the public will be indebted for the sight of what is, so far as is known, the last living specimen of the Galapagan tortoise (Testudo Galapagensis.) The animal was brought away from Chatam Island in 1913 by Captain Porter, of the United States cruiser Essex, and given by him to the native chiefs or Raretonga, where 1t remained till 1882, when Rotumah, the then head chief presented it t6 Sydney, and from whose widow MT. Rothschild purchased it.
 The new arrival is very little, if any larger than the gigantic Daudin's tor toise (Testudo DaudinD deposited by MT. Rothschild last July the carapace of which taped over four feet in a straight line, and more than five feet on the curve; but it is considerably heavier the relative weights being eight and half and six hundredweight

THE DURATION OF THE VAR.

It has been, we suppose, the general
 opinion in this country that it wouldn't
 take long to settle accounts with Spain
 and that the war wouldn't last more
 than three months This opinion may be we'll founded, but 1t is well not to be
 too sure. There are several views which can be taken. One of them Is
 we'll set forth by the London Spectator
 which points out that it is a war sui generis, unlike any ever seen be-
 fore, fought under conditions of time, space, etc., which are absolutely novel
 America is ''too big and unready to move quickly and Spain is 'Just too strong to be smashed by blow'' The wisest men in Madrid are for playing waiting game. Their idea is one slow campaign after another. The loss of her colonies will actually strength en Spain, not weaken her; they have been draining her life blood. Her army duu Her HGel-WlldL IS lelL or them VIII be at home. She may have the luck to put her hand on "an organizing gen. eral." She is an agricultural country. She would be able, on pinch, to ship her products through Spain and Portu- gal; Bordeaux and Lisbon would be- come extra-territorial Spanish ports. She has only three great assailable seaports of her own, and she has a long stretch of coast. These things being Sc the Spectator can imagine all classes of Spaniards taken with a fit of pat riotic obstinacy and resolved not to ac- cept peace; and in that case Washing ton will be called upon for what will be, even to the marvellous resources of the United States, a very serious ef- fort. She must establish at least one great coal depot in Europe, where she as yet possesses no station, and must create a fleet capable of overawlng Cadiz and Barcelona, and of establish ing an effective blockade" of the whole coast of Spain, a work which l would strain even the means at the dis

ANorHnR BArrnn possiBnE.

The search for the Spanish fleet has been as insistent as the search for "the new bully" The elusive fleet has, however, at last been found, and all good United States people are hoping that the same fate that overlook tre new bully is about to overtake that fleet.
 Admiral Sampsons ships are in the neighborhood of the Spanish vessels and Schley's squadron is on some sec ret mission, the general belief being that it has gone to join Admiral Samp- son. If the Spanish fleet does not run away it seems certain that @ momen- tous battle is about to be fought, a bat tie that will practically finish Spain If she is defeated and will be an ample and thorough test of the new kind of warships.
 It is to be hoped that the next sur prise we get will not be news of anoth- CT disappearance of the Spanish fleet without a battle, but news ot it's Sis appearance in the same way that Ad- miral Montojo's fleet disappeared Success to Sampson in meeting the foe and knocking him into smithereens.

respectively. There is great difference in the color and shape of the carapace or shell, that of Daudins being light and that of the Galapagan tortoise nearly black The latter is much the younger reptile, being only about hundred and thirty years old, while the years of Daudin's tortoise are probably nearer three centuries than two. There was still few years ago a female of the Galapagan tortoise living at sydney, and when she died her remains were acquired for the museum of that city.
 This new tortoise was shipped from Sydney by the Peninsular and Oriental mail steamship Oceana, which arrived at Plymouth on Sunday morning, a little overdue, having experienced a heavy northeasterly gale all the way from Gibraltar. The task of transport ing the tortoise to the Gardens was successfully accomplished by Arthur Thomson, the society's, head keeper, though when he boarded the mailboat | on Sunday morning fears were ex- | pressed by the captain that the animal l MT. Thomson's suggestion that the crate containing the tortoise should be put into the engine-room and brought round to London was not favorably received, so there was nothing for 1t but to bring the animal ashore in the ten | der.
 | Another difficulty presented itself on arriving at the great western rail- way station, where it was found that | the crate was too large to go into the guards van. The animal was trans ferred to the van, surrounded with footwarmers, and covered with a tarpaulin to protect it from the cold while the crate was put upon a truck. At Bristol fresh supply of footwarm- CTS, which had been telegraphed for was ready, and these were exchanged for those that were growing cold. The news of the arrival of the tortoise had spread from the station, and the up- | platform was crowded with persons l anxious to catch a glimpse of the animal. At Paddington, where il arrived 10 p. m., the society's van was waiting, and the tortoise, having beer dCpidCcu III US CIdlS, WdS nOlSLeQ III and driven off to the Gardens. Here a number of keepers were waiting and willing hands soon moved the crate, mounted on rollers, as near as possible to the tortoise house, anG hence, by dim lamplight, the reptile was transferred to it's new home. Fol some time after it's arrival it felt tht effect of the cold it had suffered bll' it gradually revived in the warm at mosphere of the house, and last nigh it was moving about quite briskly fol so huge a beast-apparently none th' worse for it's stormy passage across tn
 Bay of Biscay.

 the end of the belt.
 Travelling outfits are now in order, though it is prophesied that summer resorts will be lonesome because of the war. Yet many travelling suits are
 seen in the shops, and enough travelling wraps are shown to indicate that they | are to be worn great deal. This pie ture shows one of the more novel
 forms of travelling wrap. It was of a brightly plaided woollen stuff, after | the manner of golf capes, but instead ! of that garments fringe, there was | edging of chamois leather. Really | there were two capes and vest-like partly fitted front adorned with two rows of buttons. Revers and Medic | collar were chamois leather, reinforced | with rows of stitching.

MOVEMENTS OF THE WYANDorrE

MOVEMENTS OF THE WYANDOTTE.
 The movements of the Wyandotte, :" the old, the very old monitor which lies embedded in the mud near Tomlinson bridge, are not quite as hard to follow as the movements of the Spanish feet One of the reasons for this is that there are no movements of the Wyandotte. For the last month this quiet town has been frequently agitated by reports that there were to be some movements of the Wyandotte, and during the last week it has appeared that some move ments of the Wyandotte were certain. But they come not yet, and up to date the big tug which will be depended on to make the movements has not arrived in the harbor. The tug is, however, ex- pected to-day, and if it comes there may soon be some movements of the Wyandotte.
 We suppose the people of Bath, Maine, are as much interested in the movements of the Wyandotte as the people of New Haven are for the move ments which will be our loss will be Baths gain. We hope that if there are some movements of the Wyandotte Bath will feel more secure than she has felt, and we know that New Haven vii always keep an interested eye on the movements of the Wyandotte.

Inspector General Lfsada of the Span ish forces in Cuba recently issued his official report in which are indicated losses almost without precedent in modern times. His report shows that out of the 200, ,OO0 soldiers sent by Spain to put down the insurrection in the is- land from the beginning of February, 1895, to the beginning of December of the year just terminated, not more than 5S,00O Ca little over one-fourth) are at this moment fit for actual service. The 1000 are either dead or sent back to the motherland i'll or wounded. The causes of this unprecedented death rate and sick list are (besides casualties in action) mainly three: CD The inappro- priateness of the clothing furnished to the European troops; CD fatigue, and (3) lack of food. The report, which does not apparently err on the score of reticence, paints a striking picture of military service in the chief Spanish colony.

It has been discovered that the na- tive chiefs in the diamond regions of Africa have large stores of valuable diamonds, which have very often been in their possession for a great number of years. It is not easy to buy these diamonds, for they are treasured as charms by their owners, who naturally are loath to part with them.
