London, Oct. 20.-A speech by Sir
Michael Beach At North Shields last
night, in which he said that he hoped
for peace with France, but declared
that the ministers were prepared to do
their duty, has deeply impressed Eng
land and the utmost concern is felt as
to how France will receive It, The idea
has been prevalent that the French have
not realized how seriously England felt
on the Fashoda question, which has
been coupled with desire that France
would not force England to an armed
support OF Lord Salisburys standpoint.

for the equipment of several Red Cross

In speaking of the Red Cross work in
Cuba, Miss Barton said today that she
had received assurances from the high

pital at Sierro and her headquarters were
being carefully guarded and that the Red
Cross supplies left there were being put
to their intended use.
In the hospital at sierro, where 60 chill
dren were being cared for at the time she
left the island, there were now $50 chill

INTERVENTION EXPECTED.
English Diplomat Says Powers Only
Await an Opportunity.

New York, May PA World dis
patch from London says:
A veteran diplomat who represented
continental power at various capitals
for many years, but is retired from &C
tive service now, though we'll Informed
on current international affairs said
Il expect European interference in
! this war but not at the present stage
! because the continental powers can find
no preteXt for stepping in as long as
Spain holds out gamely.
Il have reason for supposing that
Austria is only waiting for an oppor-
tunity to do something for Spain. But
the Austrian emperor feels that he can
not go against the interests of the triple
alliance, by playing too much into the
hands of France and Russia or at
tempt to lead Italy or Germany to pick
quarrel with the United States.
Then again the emperor of Austria
knows that France and Russia have
many interests themselves to make
them hesitate about causing an open
rupture with America, or increasing the
already visible tension of their relations
consequent on too public a show of
sympathy with Spain in the Russian
and French press. The continental
powers will interfere the instant events
will give them an opportunity of appeal
ing to the better, nobler feelings of the
American people, and the president,
asking them to show forbearance and
generosity and not to insist upon max
ing use of their superior power and re-
sources to make Spain feel too heavily
the consequences of her gallant Strug-
gle.''
After a pause, the diplomat added
with great earnestness:
Come, don't you think the recent
speeches of Sagasta, Silvela and even
that horrible republican, Salmeron,
point the same direction as my infer
ence? Cannot you read through the
lines that those who can see hey ond the
popular agitations-which We're very
natural at the outset-really felt in their
heart of hearts that Spain, like all dis
abled, sinking ships in a terrible storm,
will have to save the noble craft by

RULES REVISED.
Consul BedIoe's Important Work on
TransitPass Regulations.

Washington, May 24-Information
has reached here from Canton, China,
that through the efforts of United
States Consul Bedloe. revision has
been secured of the Transit Pass rules,
which will prove of great benefit to i'm
porters.
Hitherto it was obligatory that all
goods forwarded from a port to an in
land market under a cover of a transit
pass, should reach intact the destination
stated in the pass on penalty of con-
fscation. By the new rules, however,
foreign goods covered by transit pass
or any part of them may be sold in
transit for a more profitable inland
market, the only requirement exacted
being that the pass shall contain an
try under seal, showing the quantity
so sold.
The Hong Kong Telegraph, an Eng
lish newspaper, in commenting upon
Consul Bedloe's achievement, which it
regards as one of the highest CONNER
cial Importance, says it is triumph of
United States diplomacy.

CUBANS CHATTING.
Anxious to Show the World
They Are Fighters With
the Z. s.

Key West, Fla, May 24.-The Cuban
officers are greatly nettled by the crit
icism of United States army officers
who say the Cubans are unable to
make an offensive campaign. They de-
clare that the Cuban army is about to
distinguish itself by brilliant opera
tions. United States army and navy
officers have a poor opinion of the Gu
ban forces. The rank and file are brave
and willing enough, it is conceded and
they are excellent bushwhackers but
they are believed to be without any
thing like real military training.
Some of the New York newspapers
received here refer to the forts at San
Juan de Porto Rico as using smokeless
miral SIMPSONS squadron but this is
an error. Nor is there probably any
that the crew of the French cruiser
Rigault de Gouinally cheered the Span
ish forts at San Juan. After the bonn
bardment Admiral Sampson's squadron
hauled away. The Spaniards undoubt-
edly believed that the attack would be
renewed. The French cruiser took ad-
vantage of the cessation of firing to
rush out of the harbor, and it seemed
to those on board the Associated Press
dispatch boat Dauntless that the
F'renchman were badly frightened and
thinking of anything but raising a
cheer
ceived preposterouS reports from the
captain general of Porto Rico, among
them statements that the bonn bardment
lasted until IL o'clock, that the Iowa
was badly disabled, so much that her
bow sunk deep in the water and that
the commander of the French cruiser
sent frey message to Paris denounc-
ing the bonn bardment as brutal and a
violation of the rules of the war. AS a
matter of fact the French officers and
the officers of the United States cruiser
Montgomery exchanged visits at st.
Thomas and were very friendly, the
Frenchmen saying that the lombard
ment was conducted in line with the
best methods of modern warfare.
The Spanish consul at st. Thomas in
quired anxiously of the Dauntless if
there were any signs of the expected
uprising in the southern states. He
declined an invitation to dine on board,
say ing his presence on an American
vessel especially the dispatch boat of
the Associated Press would be calcula-
ted to cause grave scandal.

basement.

Some of the things in way of mis-
sionary work in Africa are outlined in a
letter received in Topeka from John
NJ. Bell who is superintendent of the
Bombali mission at Freetown.
The letter was written to his mother
and sisters and is as follows: ST guess
you think it a long time since you heard
from US. 1t has not been our fault,
however. We are in the midst of a
very severe African war between the
English government and native. All

soldiers may get some messages so they
allow no one to go to town at all. The
people in FreetOwn are suffering for
something to eat and the natives won't
allow anything to go down there, so
they may starve them out. We have
tried five times to get men through to
FreetOWn and our man has been gone

Do not know what has become of him.
The mails have been clOSed-none traV-

ruary 19, and there has none gone down
since before that as it was not safe to
send it. From Freetown we have our
mail brought by a private mail route;
there is no government mail coming our
way, so you see we dare to risk send
ing mail, for had our man been caught
with mail he would have been killed
and the mail destroyed. Just now the
mail can go through, for how long
cannot say. Not very long unless the
government gives up the fight. I think
they will surrender as soon as the rainy
season sets in, for white men cannot
stand these rains for very long.

War Deprives Guadalupe of Food
Supplies.

Washington, May 24.-Third parties
have begun to suffer from the war ac-
cording to reports received from United
States Consul Ayne at Guadalupe and
it may be that other West Indian is
lands are to share in the burdens i'm
posed upon Guadalupe by the existence
of hostilities. He reports that there
is a scarcity of -four and other provis-
ions and also of lumber, owing to the
cessation of arrivals of vessels from the
United States.
Probably these do not care to take the
chances of capture of their cargoes by
Spanish warShipS.
The last ship arrived March &c, and
when she cleared there was but $500
barrels of flour on the island. Brokers
bought up all of this as we'll as of 9TH

to 10 per cent and have raised prices.
There is practically corner on Unit

amount is produced on Guadalupe, the

prices rise much higher, SO that suffer-
