fry'a Raftles.

Lind. quartermaster of the Twelfth Min
nesota volunteers. now at Chickamauga,
has formally accepted the nomination for

Silver Republicans and Popuiists. A joint

whether he will return to the state to take
part in the campaign. 1t is believed he
will stay with his regiment. Lieutenant

P0LAVIEJA IN MADRID.
1t Is Said He May Succeed Sngnstn
and Bring About n Peace
settlement.

LONDON. July 23.-A special dispatch
from Madrid says: THE arrival of Gem
eral Polavieja has increased the persist
ent talk Of a cabinet crisis. The queen re-
gent is credited with exclaiming: Thank
God when she knew he was coming. Opin-
ions differ as to whether semi-miiitary
cabinet would make for peace or for con-
tinuance of the war; but all are agreed
that 1t would at any rate put an end to
the present invertebrate policy
Certainly considerable confidence is felt
in General Polavieja in the present diff
cult juncture. In the first place he is in
better touch with the feelings of the army:
in the second. he does not trouble himself
about his constituents. and. finally. the
fear of unpopularity would not blind him
to the real facts of the situation. Once he
should see that the game was up he would
not be likely 10 indulge in useless repining.
| but would make the best of a bad job.
The belief is current in Madrid that the
| delay in Commodore Watson's starting is
| due to desire to give General Polavieja
| time to form a cabinet and to sue for
peace

BRITISH NAVY INCREASE.
Parliament Asked to Vote Six Battle
ships, Four Cruisers and
Twelve DestrOyers.

LONDON, July 22-The eagerly expected
statement of the first lord of the admir-
atty, Mr.. George ]. GoSchen- on the sup
Elementary naval programme. was made
to-day in the house of commons. He re-
viewed the original programme, which was
considered sufficient when it was framed.
being based upon the two power system
that the navy Of Great Britain must be
equal to the combined fleets of any two
powers. But. in consequence of the action
of Russia. on the same system. the gov
eminent was compelled to present sup
Elementary programme, paralle'ing the
Russian increase of six battleships, which
Russia proposed to begin in 1898. Only two
battleships were taken into account in the
original British programme and the first
lord of the admiralty announced that he
now asked the house TO grant four more
batt,eships. fCheers)
Continuing. Mr.. Goschen said:
THE Russian programme provides for
four cruisers. We propose to build four
(cheers) and also twelve destroyers. 1t is
estimated that the cost of the new pro-
| gramme will be es.GI1,0OO ($iO, ,GII00O,, max
| ing the entire expenditure for the new ships
e15.0J0Oo0 tsI5.e1Oc c0O). Tho battleships will
| be especially adapted for the passage OF
the Suez canal
| jesty's government desired Europe to note
that the proposal was not aggressive, but
essential to maintaining principle lait
down. Nor was Russia's action a menace
to Great Britain. She had the right tc
| build such fleet as she thought her posi-
| ton required.
The Moscow correspondent of the Stand.
| ard says:
1T seems that Russia has dropped the
idea of spending 80. 100000 roubles on hel
navy. Evidently the decision is a sudder
one. because the representative Of ths
Union Iron works of San Francisco whc
was summoned to St. Petersburg to take or
ders for ironclads, had actually arrived
| there when the government changed it:

THE motive for the change Is unknown
but it is supposed to indicate that th'
