The evening times., 1898-09-10

The dedication last night of Washing
toms new Jewish temple, full report or
which was printed in our news columns
this morning, was an event of interest.
not only TO the members of the congre ga
ton. but to all Americans who love / b.
erty and righteousness. The addresses
of the occasion, as will be noticed, fairly
rang with the spirit of American patriot
ism. which is everywhere rife among our
Jewish fellow-citizens. The Stars and
Stripes have no more enthusiastic sup
porters or defenders than those of our
fellow-countrymen who are proud To call
themselves the children of Israel
II the Car really intends to adopt the
settled role of peacemaker of Europe,
perhaps he could not do better by way
of a start rhau TO doctor the friction
between France and Germany. 1t must
be said that the relations Of those two
countries are acute. The French gov
ernment has documents in the Dreyfus
case purporting to have been written
by the Kaiser. There is a popular de-
mand for their publication. If this is
done Germany practically threatens war
If they cannot be used as evidence. it
is probable that the sentence of Dreyfas
cannot be reversed, while a pardon, in
the absence of exculpatory proof, would
be resented by the French army. There
are all the concomitants of a tropical

army officers should alone conduct the
inquiry Is obviously sound.

entire affair until It was over. When ne
learned of 1t he Immediately began an in

As a result Of this Williams and Private
Coles of the same company, who is said
to have been the leader OF the attacking
party, have been confined In the guard
house at the request of the Mayor and To-
cal authorities, the latter being unable
TO guarantee sufficient protection.
Col Daggett says that Williams, Coles
and their companions, when the latter are
discovered, viii be turned over to the civil
powers and punished to the full extent OF
the law. after which court martial Will

An interesting point Is how the rescuine
party left the barracks without detection
During the day williams had a hearing
before Justice OF the peace and was held
in 81 1000 bail for trial at the May term OF
the court. There was no demonstration
at the hearing.
Col. Daggett is making efforts for ths
release of Williams, who is unable to Sc
cure the $1,000 bail exacted. 1t is probabl,
that he will succeed.
A special term Of the local court will b'
called to try the JAN breakers.

was scheduled to leave. The train started
half an hour late, and during the interval
Cen Woodford conversed with the repre-

An immense crowd gathered at the sta

large number of private detectives A de-
tachment Of the civic guards accompanied

The navy department, aside from giving
the orders to the squadron, continued the
work of adding to the navy and purchas-
ing another ship at Norfolk as an auxili-
airy craft and some small yachts
The news of the actual beginning of
war was received with gravity at the de-
partment and there were many specula-
tons as tc the destination Of the Spanish
squadron. One suggestion was that they
would try to cut off the fine battleship

coast around to join Capt. SIMPSONS

There is also some fear that the Oregon
may be taken at an unfair advantage
without knowledge Of the existence of war
by the Spanish torpedo destroyer Temme-
rire, which is now lying at Buenos Ayres.
Possibly with view to avoiding con-
hict in the straits of Magallen, where she
would be at a disadvantage, the Oregon
has been ordered to go around Cape Horn.
The little Bancroft now at Boston has
been placed under command of Capt
Clover, who will meet the ship at Nor
folk within a few days and take it to
Key West.
In the war department orders few to

troops in the South, and Secretary Alger
was several times in consultation with
the President. resulting in the determina-
ton to call for 100000 volunteers as soon
as Congress passes the necessary legisla-
ton.
The change in the composition Of the
cabinet, entirely unexpected, completed
the list of important events of the day.
| At about 4.45 o'clock this afternoon they
| had a brief conference with the AttorHey
General, Secretary Long and Assistant
Secretaries Day and Adee. Several tele-
| grams were received and others presuma-
bly, sent, but their purport was not dis
closed. At Sis o'clock the President join
ed Secretary Long in a short walk.
For several days, especially to-day, the
Secretary of the Treasury, has received
a large number of kilograms from collec
tors of customs at ports on the Atlantic
and Gulf coasts stating that ships were
being laden for Cuban ports. Large ship
ments of mules were being made from
Southern ports and beef and coal from
those further North. The question as t
whether these vessels should be permitte'
to sail was referred to the Attorney Gen
eral and his opinion was that pending
the passage of the bill prohibiting all ex
portations of articles of this characte
this government. should not interfere.

SPAIN SHORT OF COAL.
Efficiency of Her Fleet Apt TO he
BADLY Crippled.

London. April ga dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph from Barcelona, via Paris,
SAYS: Grave apprehensions are enter
tanned in the highest government circles
that the issue of war may be decided not
by vaIor and enthusiasm and dogged per-
severance, qualities Of which the Span
iards possess an abundance, but reserves
of coal and victuals, for which they have
made but scanty provision in Cuba.
ut appears that in respect Of coal in
particular they are comparably worse Oft
than they have hitherto imagined.
"The Spanish government firmly believ-
ing down to the very last moment that
peace would be preserved through the in
tercession Of the Pope and the Powers
neglected to lay In sufficient provision Of
coal despite the representations made to
them by one or two far-seeing naval Off
GERS.
Besides, IL is believed that the govern
ment never once inquired Of the British or
other neutral governments whether coal
would be regarded as contraband Of war.
The result is said to be a state Of things
which may be fraught with unpleasant
surprises and bring hosdlities TO a prema-
ture end.
"Tbose in the secret were anxious TO
overthrow the cabinet on other grounds
before the beginning of war, for patriotic
considerations forbade a public discussion
OF the country's weak point on the eve
| Of hostiIties. The short time allowed for
the deliberations Of Parliament rendered
this intention difficult of execution and
the liberal cabinet, which conducted the
negotiations. will be allowed to bear the
responsibility for the results during a
conflict.
