THE SPANISH SHIP WELCOME
Both Long and sherman Glad the Yes.
sci Is Coming.

str - &OIlIuSs
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81 Secretary
Long says he has received no notice
from the Spanish minister or from anv
other source that Spanish men-of-wal
have been ordered to visit United States
ports. They We're perfectly welcome to
come and go as they pleased, he said, and
so far as he was concerned he would be
delighted to have them come. Spanish
warships have frequently visited the
United States since the insurrectionary
movement broke out in Cuba three
years ago without having excited the
least unfriendly comment and there
was no reason why any significance
should be attached to their coming again
whenever they felt disposed to do so.
The Spanish flagship ON this station
took part in the ceremonies connected
with the dedication Of the Grant monu-
ment in New York about year ago,
and also at the subsequent celebration
in Philadelphia last summer, after
which the Spanish admiral and his
staff visited Washington and paid their
respects to the president and the men,
bers of his cabinet. Secretary Long
said be recalled with pleasure the visit
of the party to the navy department.
Secretary Sherman also said he saw no
reason why the Spanish ships should
not visit the United States, and in fact
he would be glad if they did come.
They would be welcome.

Hitchcock Charter.

Freights are still very high, say
Coast advices, and there seems TO be no
chance for lower rates. At present the
disengaged tonnage in port only aggre-
gates 1880 tons, while at the same
time last year it was 107 ,233 tons. The
ships Henry B. Hyde and s. p. Hitch
cock from New York were chartered
prior to arrival to load sugar at Homo
lulu for the East The rate they are
getting is about % shillings and pence
a ton, whereas if they had come here
free their owners could have chartered
them to load wheat at SO shillings and
9 pence.

Paris is agitated over unique arti-
fetal food, which incredible as it may
seem, is an imitation of the 'inimitable
bfvalve." What the artificial oysters
are made of has not yet been ascer-
tanned by the experts in charge OF the
municipal laboratory, but it is certain
that they are not made Of any kind of
sea food. The only genuine thing about
them are the shells, which are procured
from the first-class restaurant keepers
at small expense, and with harmless
and tasteless paste the spurious oyster
is fastened in it's place.
