A SUSPICIOUS CRAFT.
The Alexander. Overhauls a Steamer
with Her Name Painted ont.

Copyrighted by Associated Press
Mole ST. Nicholas. Hayti, June -9.-The
collier Alexander, Commander Burweil
from Hampton Roads. arrived here at :
O'Clock this morning. The only notable
incident on her way down was the over
hauling OF j Norwegian steamer. the
name of which mad been painted out. The
officers OF the Alexander suspected that
she was a Spaniard and Commander Bur-
well sent a lieutenant TO board her. One
Of the A~lexarder's boats was capsized in
the rough sea and lost, but the men who
were tumbled into the water by the
overturning of the boat, were rescued.
The papers on the Norwegian We're
found TO be regular and she was allowed
to proceed.
During the excitement of speaking her.
Commander BurwelTs son Willie, ID years
old, who is said to be the youngest volun-
teer in the navy. repeatedly exclaimed to
his father: "Oh! / do nope it is a Span
lard" The entire crew of the Alexander
were spelling for a fight, but If Willie's
wish had been fulfilled it would probably
have taken only a few minutes to cap
ture them, as the whole of the ships ar
manent consisted Of two 3-inch guns.

MORE WARSHIPS
Bids for Building Three Battleslips
Called for.

Washington, June 1S.-The navy de-
partm mt issued advertisements today,
calling for proposals for building the
three great battleships authorized by
the last naval appropriation bill. These
bids will be opened at the department
on September LIST and thirty-three
months will be allowed for the COM
pletiOn Of the ships after the contract.
That is the maximum, but biders are
invited to specify the time within
which they can complete the construc-
tons, which, of course, indicates the
purpose Of the department in regard
speedy construction as one of the de-
termining factors in awarding the con
tract.
Generally speaking, the three big
ships are to be patterned closely after
the Illinois class, such as is now build
ing at Newport News.
The advertisements calling for the
building of the monitors are withheld,
owing to a difference of opinion among
bureau chief as to the turretS to be
placed on these monitors.

A Spanish Half Breed Caught Attempt.
ing TO Blow up the TrooPship City Of
Pekin.

Victoria B. C, June 1s.-The steamer
Miowera brought the following from
Honolulu dated June s:
The Hawaiian Star OF June 3rd pub
fishes the following story regarding an
attempt TO blow up the United States
ship City OF Pekin, while that vessel
was in port here.
IF the report in circulation today
is true, Honolulu came near being the
scene Of as frigntfuI a disaster as that
Of the Maine and in much the same
a The story Is to the effect that
an attempt was made to blow up the
Pekin magazine. It was frustrated
just in time. An enlisted man, il is
said, was caught arranging a fuse con
Meeting with the magazine. The mag
aZine contains 400 tons Of powder and
had been guarded closely. The das-
tard, il is said, is now under the closest
guard and when the Pekin gets out on
the high 2 a will be hanged at the
yard arm"
The greatest secrecy concerning the
matter is being maintained for fear il
would depress the spirit of the present
occasion. The alleged culprit is said
to be half Spaniard. The publication
caused a sensation in this city. Mil
itary officers on the ship denied the
truth of the story, but their denial
was made in a h~alf-hearted way. There
are many c~orroborative features which
tend to prove the truth of the report
which was at first circulated by enlist
ed men. Others admitted that the
Spanish halfbreed was on board the
Pekin. Two Honolulu citizens state
that they were on the Pekin on June
3rd when they saw a man in IRONS and
under close guard. They were con-
WINGED that the prisoner was the man
who attempted to blow up the ship.

GERMANY,S ATTITUDE
The Emperor D~ispleased at Allegations
of Friendship for Spain-Anti-Amer-
lean Sentiment Oft Press.

Copyrighted by Associated Press.)
Berlin, June 1S.-Emperor Williams
sentiments in regard to the war between
Spain and the United States have con-
siderably changed during the past month.
A member of his majesty's encourage in
forms the correspondent here of the AS
ISOLATED Press that the persistent state
ments of the American and British press,
"often coupled with insulting comment,
alleging the emperor intends to actively
interfere N behalf of Spain, and imput-
ing to his majesty sentiments which were
actually foreign to him, at the opening of
hostilities," have greatly annoyed the
emperor, and the constant reiterationS
of the erroneous statements as to Ger
many'S official attitude being unfriendly
to the United States, have displeased En-
peror William exceedingly.
The informant of the correspondent OF
the Associated Press continued: "Natur-
ally, the emperor and the government
are seriously annoyed at the wholly
~groundleSS charges Patience is a viz
tue; but there is a limit to it,
In contrast to the above official utter
ance, there are a variety of indications
in regard to the Philippine islands. The
officials of the foreign office say Ger
many's strong naval display at Manila
is made merely to protect German sub
jects, and a part of the press adopts the
same attitude, based on the foreign office
statement, saying lI0 tllol
Germany meant to interfere in the Amer
lean operations or in the American Oc-
cupation Of the Philippine islands is
baseless, as Germany's naval force there
is altogether too small for such a pur-
pose.
Nevertheless many editorials are couch
ed in quite a different tone and spirit.
Generally speaking, the German news
papers continue their unfriendly tone to-
wards America, though they are some
what more cautious. All the recent news
from Cuba and the Philippine islands Is
interpreted as being unfavorable to the
United States and the Guantanamo bay
affair is dubbed a defeat, unqualifiedly.
Nevertheless, the papers are now print
ing numerous communications from pro-
Americans, protesting against the per-
sistent abuses and SANDERS to which
Americans have been subjected since the
opening of the war.
In spite of the denials from Madrid,
Spain continues her underground efforts
to prejudice the powers in her favor. On
Wednesday last Senior Leon y Castillo,
the Spanish ambassador to France, ar
rived at st. Petersburg to support the
efforts of Count VillagonZalo. the Span
ish ambassador at ST. Petersburg, in the
latter's efforts to induce the Russian min
lister for foreign affairs. Count Muravieff,
to join France, and possibly Germany in
intervening in Spain's behalf.
