FROM BRAZIL To UNCLE SAM.
Formal Transfer of Cruiser Amazonas
Took Place at Gravpsend.

Formal Transfer of Cruiser Amazonas
Took Place at Gravesend.
Gravesend, England, March 21.-The
cruiser Amazonas, built by the Arm
strongs for Brazil and purchased by the
United States, was formally transferred
from the Brazilian flag to the Stars and
Stripes shortly after IL O'Clock A. NJ.
The ceremony was simple and dignified,
and to the Brazilian officers it was
somewhat pathetic.
Lieutenant-COmmander Colwell, Uni
ted States naval attache, accompanied
by Ensign Roberts, Assistant Engineer
Morris and Consul-General Osborne,
arrived on board shortly before II
o'clock. The chief officer of the coast
guard and number of customs officers,
all in uniform, were already on board.
Lieutenant-Commander Colwell, salut-
ing Commander Cores, said:
Captain, have here contract of
sale to which you were witness,
whereby this vessel is to be transferred
to me IN behalf of the United States. "
Commander Cores replied through
an interpreter, saying:
I'm handing over the ship 1 desire
to say that it is done with the sincere
friendship of Brazil"
Colwell, saluting, replied:
I'm behalf of the United States
thank you for the sentiment"
In the center of circle of officers of
both nations, Colwell then faced the
Brazilian flag flying from the cruisers
stern, and as the officers barred their
heads the flag of Brazil was hauled
down, after which, facing about with
their heads still uncovered, Old Glory
was run up. Lieutenant Colwell and
the Brazilian officers then shook hands,
Great interest was taken in the cere-
mony, which is said to have been
unique in naval history, by which one
power transferred warship to another
in the harbor of third power.
Several American flags were hoisted
at Gravesend after the Stars and Stripes
were unfurled over the Amazonas.
After saluting Tilbury fort, the band
played The Star Spangled Banner"
with the crew standing at attention" "
Commodore Howell Immediately Or
dered 60 tons of coal for the San Fran
cisco and 800 tons for the Amazonas,
which is coaling, and is expected to
complete the work Tuesday, when she
will go to Holshaven to take on ammu-
milton.

THREE DEATHS RESULTED
Murderous Attack of White Men OH a
Negroes Cabin.

Muskogee, l. T., March GA das-
tardly outrage was committed last
night at Wybark. five miles from here,
resulting in the death of two men and
woman. The house of Ed Chalmers,
a negro, who recently married a white
woman, was attacked during the night
by six white men, who had evidently
determined to murder both the negro
and his wife, both of whom had been
threatened by white men who disliked
the union. A door of their cabin was
broken in, and both the negro and his
wifewere shot down, but not before
Chalmers had put up good fight
against his assailants. The woman
was killed outright, and although
Chalmers succeeded in driving off the
attacking party, they left him mortally
wounded and he died before daylight.
This morning, the body of Matthews.
an aged white man, who lived at Glib
son station. was found near the Chal-
mers cabin pierced with a bullet.
Matthews answers the description
given by Chalmers before he died of
one OF his assailants.
There were evidences that Matthews
body had been dragged from Chalmers
house to the place where it was found.
A gun lay beside the body, evidently
put there to give the impression that
the dead man had murdered the negro
and his wife. Deputy United States
marshals are investigating the killing,
and 1t is believed the murderers will be
brought to Justice

SPAIN AND HER PAPER NAVY
England Surprised That We

A Fall in Securities-Threats of

Spanish Comment on the Lee Incident
A Fall in Securities-Threats oi
| Carlists-Germanyw Will Not Interfere.
London, March 22.-The Daily Mail,
in an editorial refuting some of "the
American accusations OF British cold
ness" says:
Among many reasons for Great
Britain's apparent noninterest, not the
least is our better knowledge of the
Spanish and their paper navy and our
conviction that the Anglo-Saxon will
always defeat the Latin. Indeed, the
trend OF British thought is towards
surprise that the greatest of republics
thould excite itself unduly about so
poor foe. The Americans should re-
member that while we are full of trust
in their capability to deal with Span
ish impertinences, we are fully oc-
cupied with greater troubles threatened
or active in various parts of the world.
They have our full sympathy at time
when France, Germany and Russia are
backing Spain and almost as openly as
they are opposing British efforts for
the freedom of its foreign trade through
out the world.
But there is no occaion now to talk
of an Offensive and defensive alliance.
The disproportion between our mission
and Americas makes it impossible
There will be time to propose this way
of recementing the race when America
is ready to face the splendid RESPONSE
bility it entails"
The Madrid correspondent of the
Standard says:
"senor Polo Y Bernabe. the Spanish
minister at Washington, has been au-
thorized to make all concessions possi-
BILE in order to obtain the speedy con-
clusion of fair reciprocity treaty. BY
Americas expressed desire, this also
includes the Philippine islands. Both
the Cuban and Spanish cabinets are
anxious to expedite the negotiations to
the uttermost. Senior Polo Y Bernabe
wires that he has found the American
state department very favorably dis
posed on this point, but that more re-
serve than ever is shown in interna-
tional dealings pending the settlement
of the Maine affair"
The Chronicle repeats editorially its
declaration that Michael Davitt's at
tempt to show that England hates
America has been ''ludicrously unsuc-
cessful," and challenges him to obtain
a half dozen votes in support of a pro-
Spanish resolution in any open meet
ing in any town in England, Scotland
or Wales.
The Berlin correspondent of the
Times confirms the statement that
Germany has no inclination to inter-
fere in the Cuban question. 1t cites
the Berlin Post, saying that Germany's
commercial interests, as we'll as her
regard for the German residents in the
United States, forbid such an inter-
ference.

Lived on Dog Diet.

Seattle, March 21.-H. @. Petit,
who arrived here from Dawson City
this morning on the City of Seattle,
says that large party left Circle City
in January, with supplies for the Tan
ana Indians on the headwaters of Tan,
ana river. The Indians number about
800, Every winter they depend on a
run OF moose and cariboo for food. The
run did not materialize this winter,
and, after they had exhausted their
supplies OF salmon, they were forced to
eat their dogs, the supply of which was
small.
A trapper passing through the dis
trict became acquainted with their sit
uation. He Immediately carried the
news to Circle City, and relief expe.
dition was at once sent out.

THE MAINE REPORT.
President Expects to Receive 1t Within
Short Time,


Washington, March 21.-An air of
suspense was noticeable in the navy
department today, due to the approach
OF the time for the delivery of the re-
port of the court of inquiry. 1t is not
known when the document will come
to Washington, and in view of the re-
ports OF the determination OF outside
parties to obtain possession of it before
the department receives it, the officials,
II they know, will not say how the
papers are to be brought to Washington.
All that is known definitely is that the
president has suggested that the report
be made as soon as possible, and it is
expected to reach this city in the course
OF two or three days.
The cabinet today talked over the
matter, and the time stated above was
the general opinion of the members
when they had heard all that Secretary
Long had to report on the subject.
There is an impression that Lieutenant
Commander Mark will bring the docu-
ment, though it is within Admiral
slcard's power to choose any other
officer.
cabinet officer expressed the belief
that the report will require careful con-
slderation on the part of the president
and his cabinet before given to the pub
lie, which would seem to postpone its
publication to some time about the mid
die of the week, although nothing is
certain on that point.
The new naval policy, embodied in
the creation of another squadron to
rendezvous at Hampton roads, was dis
cussed at the cabinet meeting at length
and received unanimous approval.
Every phase of the several questions
involved was carefully considered, and
1t is believed that very soon after the
report is received the president, possi
bly, in conjunction with congress, will
announce definite policy.

MASSlNG HER SHIPS.
England Gathering IA Powerful Fleet In
the Orient.

Tacoma, Wash, March 22.-Oficers
of the Northern Pacific steamship Vic
toria, which arrived last night from
China and Japan, report that the
British government is massing very
powerful fleet of warships in Chinese
waters, and that the British are buying
all the coal coming to those waters for
the men-of-war. So anxious are thev
to get it that they send vessels to sea
and there hail colliers and bargain for
their cargoes paying gilt.edge prices ii
necessary. They are said to be huyinc
all the available coal from the Suez to
the northern coast of Siberia, as they
do not want to use Japanese coal.
Purser Mcdonald says there are now 80
or 40 British warships ON the China
station, and the fleet has been consider.
ably augmented in the past few weeks.
Among the latest arrivals was the big
marine tighter Powerful. one of the

PATRIOTIC NEW WORKERS.
Enthusiasm Shown at IA Maine Benefit
Performance.


Performance.
New York, March 22.-Over 1000
people rose simultaneously tonight in
the Metropolitan opera-house and
joined with the chorus on the stage in
singing The Star-Spangled Banner"
with more enthusiasm than has been
exhibited in the opera-house for MANY
months. 1t was upon the occasion of
the performance for the benefit of the
Maine monument fund. On the great
stage stood the well-known singer Ca
mile d'Arville, and behind her were
massed the combined choruses of the
Broadway theater, the Casino and the
Whitney and Castle Square companies.
AS background, an immense Ameri
can flag waved from tall pole. Each
of the singers carried small flag, and
the moment the patriotic air was start
ed, the entire audience arose and
joined in the melody. At the conclu.
sion, there were tremendous cheers
and a great demonstration. Then
My Country" was sung. The enter
tainment, aside from the subscriptions,
netted about $4,000. MANY of the
best known actors and actresses took
part in the performance, and among
the spectators was Miss Evangelina
Cisneros, who came in for much an
plause at one time in the evening.
