The government OF Nicaragua has
granted a concession to Herbert En-
cry OF Boston. giving him a monopoly
for fifteen years, dating from Jan. 1.
1900, of exporting mahogany, cedar and
other valuable timber from that coun-
try. Other people may cut timber. but
no one else can export, and therefore
1t Is valuable concession. The tim
ber is abundant. particularly on the
Atlantic coast, and Mr.. Emery has the
right to cut as much as he pieases on
public lands. He pays the government
$4,000 gold as a bonus and agrees to
pay 10000 annually during the term
OF his contract. At the expiration Of
the contract he is required to surren-
der to the government his sawmills,
fifty miles OF railroad which he has
constructed from steamship navigation
on the Rio Grande de Metagalpa into
the forests and other parts OF his plant.
The government of Nicaragua needs
money so badly that 1t grants conees-
sions right and left for any purpose to
anybody who Will pay cash.

Soldiers From Tampa and Mobile Starting
for Cuba.
Washington, May 3O.-The military
invasion of Cuba has begun. Unless
the orders OF the War Department have
miscarried, ut an early hour this morn
Ing the troops that have been gath
cred at the gulf ports began to break
camp and march aboard transports
waiting to carry them to the enemy's
territory. About twenty-five Of these
ships, the biggest and fastest that
could he obtained suitable for the pur-
pose, Ind been gathered ready to re
ceive the troops. They will accommo-
date about 10000 men, for, in short
voyage like that from one of the gulf
ports to Cuba, 1t is possible with safe
ty and comfort to carry much larger
number OF men aboard ship than
would be admissible in the case of n
cruise to the Philippines. for instance.
How many troops started this morn
Ing, where they took ships, or whittier
they are bound, are questions which
the directing spirits of the campaign
refuse positively to answer. They
have no desire that the Spanish should
have opportunity afforded them to
gather forces to attack our soldiers as
they land. Therefore. nothing of the
details of this first movement can be
learned.
1t is generally believed that part
of the force will be sent to Santiago de
Cuba to aid Schley in his efforts to
capture Cervera's fleet. Porto Rico
may be the objective point of u por-
tion Of the soldiers.

AN ENGLISH AlLlANcy
Terms of an Alleged Agreement Betwee
This Country and Great Britain.


Terms of an Alleged Agreement Between
This Country and Great Britain.
London, May 3O-The Washington
correspondent of the Telegraph sends
the following. to his paper tonight:
ut comes to the Telegraph from
high State Department authority that
important preliminary steps toward an
AnglO-American alliance have already
been taken. How far these negotia-
tiOns, II they can yet be called by that
term, have proceeded, 1t Is not easy to
ascertain, for, naturally, strict secrecy
has been maintained by the officials in
charge, but information is that pre-
llminary suggestions have been made,
and that the subject Of such an alli-
ance is practically before the two gov
ernments in some shape. The recent
visits of the British ambassador to the
State Department have not, 1t seems,
been altogether with regard to the
Canadian negotiations.
According to this authority the
feature of the proposed alliance now
being considered are these;
"Great Britain is to recognize the So
called Monroe doctrine, to attempt no
Increase OF territorial possessions on
this hemisphere and to indorse the
American construction of that doc
trine
The United States is to build the
Nicaragua canal and Great Britain Is
to have the use of 1t during any war.
"The United States is to have all ter
ritory taken from Spain in this war,
and Great Britain is to protect this

ened.
1.-THE United States is to stand by
England In her policy In China and the
East, and all of England's ports In the
East are open to the United States I'M
der the most favored nation clause.
''The main features of the arbitra-
tion treaty are to be Incorporated in
the agreement, it being provided that
all matters in dispute, not involving
the Monroe doctrine or the Nicaragua
canal are to be submitted to non
partisan commission.
"The existing understanding, bearing
upon the relation of the two govern
ments on the the great lakes Is to be
abrogated. and the United States Is
given the use OF the Welland canal in
case of war.
1.-The alliance is to be offensive and
defensive If IL goes through on the
lines now under consideration. As a
matter of course. all that has been
done so far is purely tentative. But
my informant gives the above as gen
eral outlines of what has been sug-
gested.

both foreign offices, but my informa-
ton comes from source which /

Spain does not fight to win. Her
statesmen are not fools. whatever may
be said Of her ordinary citizens. She
fights to prevent revolution and save
the government at Madrid. Without
fight the government would be knock
ed higher than a kite. When she is
whipped in Cuba there will be peace
in Spain. When the people OF Spain
get some knowledge of the power and
resources OF the United States they will
shout for peace as ardently as they
now shout for war.

Some Misunderstanding has arisen
regarding the exact titles and positions
OF the officers now holding high rank
In the American navy. Loosely speak
ing, Dewey and Sampson are admir-
ais. and they have a right to that IL
tie, as every navy officer In charge OF
a squadron is admiral of the fleet"
but the rank OF admiral in the United
States navy is at the present moment
obsolete, as is that OF vice admiral.
The last admiral was the late David
Porter. and the last vice admiral was
s. 9. Rowan, who retired In 1889. Since
that time the highest of naval ranks
has been tina, OF rear admiral. Until
Dewey received his commission by n
