FORTNIGHT 0F
 BLOCKADE DUTY The Tug Uncas Returns to Key
 West From the Cuban -, Coast.

Key West, Aug. 10.-Thee1ins Shcas' mander Lieutenant Brainard, re1eSnea he,' today, after an exciting fortnight of blocKs ade duty on the north Cuban coast. The Uncas holds the record of the three smaller boats for continuous blockade service and interesting experiences She carries Cuban expeditions and lands them almost under the enemy's guns; she chases almost any, thing from a raft to battleship and oc- cupies spare moments by knocking over Spanish blockhouses and capturing prizes On this, her last trip, the uncas put ashore all her expedition for Gomez and had dangerous fire in her hold just above the magazine In spite of this, she looked none the worse when she steamed into Key West harbor today for more coal and provisions
 When the Uncas left here two weeks ago she carried Captain Stable of Gomez's staff, with six other Cubans and 300 Remington carbines and ammunition for the insurgent commanders forces The next morning an overturned cook stove in the forecastle started fire.
 After the fire had been extinguished the tug proceeded to Cay Confdes. near Cai- bero, where she put her little Cuban party ashore without encOuntering Spanlard. Then the Uncas steamed toward Matanzas. Lying off Matanzas day or two ago, the Uncas was fired upon. She was within two miles of shore when without any warn- ing the sand battery's guns began to throw shells at her. Fully twenty of the missiles fell around the tug within radius of hundred yards before she could get out of range As she steamed away the Uncas returned the fire with her six pounders.
 Then occurred a little incident illustrat- ing the superstitions of seamen. The last shell from the Uncas' stern gun had just screamed it's way across the waters when a gaudy winged butterfly, which had blown off shore, hovered over the still smoking gun and settled down on it's grim muzzle.
 A horny listed Irishman, who manned the gun saw it, threw up his hands and shouted to Lieutenant Brainard: Say. captain, that settles it. That's the last shot we'll fire in this war" And there is not A man on the tug who is not thorough ly convinced that hte butterfy's visit was a sure forerunner of peace.

 AN UL TIMATUM

London Aug. 1.-The Washington corre- spondent of the Daily Mail says:
 "Spain's acceptance of the American peace conditions was so equivocal that President Mckinley determined to compel consent to a protocol, fixing definite terms and the answer given to M. Cambon, prac- tically amounted to an ultimatum.

Bannon were handled with the best of judgment Com pany ID was overcrowded on the firing line and the men needlessly exposed them selves by standing in groups. Lieutenant Neville, commanding the first platoon, did his best with the men in front of him. Forty men left the crest of the hill at 3:15 D. m under Lieutenant Lucas and de- stroyed the well and burned the house late- ly occupied by the enemy
 The marines fired on an average about sixty shots each. The loss to our force was one private of Company D wounded slightly, and ten or twelve overcome by heat.
 No Cubans Wounded
 No Cubans were wounded during the fight on the hill. While destroying the we'll the Cubans were placed up the valley from which the enemy retreated and began a noisy and hot fight with guerillas, who had not been dislodged. In this fight the Cubans lost two killed and two wounded but killed five of the enemy.
 From the best information since obtained, which is believed to be reliable, sixty of the enemy, among whom were ten officers, were killed. The wounded were numerous. Eighteen prisoners, including one ieuten- ant, were captured

 Paris, Aug. 10.-Count Demaille, agent of the Carlists in Paris has outlined the hopes and the plans of the pretender for gaining possession of Spain.
 ''The Carlst chiefs now with Don Car los at Lucerne are there partly to make arrangements for coming events and partly to express their sympathy to the chief of the house of Bourbon upon the loss of Spanish colonies. I believe that the Duke necessity today in Spain. The queen re- gent should get out quickly and go home to Austria he said.

The present gdSSl ernment of Spain is grossly guilty of neg lect at least. For fifteen years Don Car ! los has been advising Spain to strengthen her navy.
 Don Carlos will go to Spain as a libera- tor. A republic may be proclaimed, but it cannot last, as the people prefer a mon archy. Circumstances may compel him to take action at once. but my personal im- preston is that he will not. He will issue proclamation to his followers as soon as the treaty of peace Is signed.
 '"The pope, it is true, stands by the queen regent, and is about to issued encyclicals to the clergy and people, exhorting them to stand by the reigning sovereign, but Rome always advises obedience to exist ing rulers.

terly Attacked.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 1S.-In the SEN
ate today there was a sensational and
somewhat uneXpecteds outcropping Of
the bitterness engendered by the SEN
atorial fight. When the standing COM
mittees were reported Senator Alex
ander presented a formal protest
against the placing of the name of Sen
ator Burke, of Cuyahega county, the
only Republican member of the senate
who did not vote for Mr.. Hanna, on
the committees. In his protest Senator
Alexander, among other things, said
Il hereby desire to record my earnest
protest against the placing of the name
Of Vernon H. Burke upon committees
of this senate upon which honorable
gentlemen have been selected to serve.
To force by the majority votes of this
body the association of this betrayer
of party trusts with those whose honor
and sense of duty would shrink from
such conduct is to offer a reward for
treason to party, to principle and to
American manhood. I protest against
the violation Of party and personal
pledges, and I hereby declare it my
duty to hold the man who voluntarily
places his pledges before the people in
securing their votes as fully RESPONSE
BILE to them as he is morally responsi-
BILE to his maker. And for these and
many other reasons dear to American
citizenship, I here and now enter this
protest against the forcing of this po-
litical traitor into the presence or COM

Secretary of State That Meets
With General Criticism.

LIVERPOOL, Jan. 18.-The Liver
pool Chamber of Commerce gave a
banquet tonight to Rt. Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain, secretary of state for the
colonies. Lord Strathcona and Mount
Royal was also present. Mr.. Chamber
lain was greeted with an ovation and
a special cheer was given for Mrs
Chamberlain, who was with him. Mr.
Chamberlain, in the course of a vigor-
Gus speech, referred to the great
changes in commerce during the last
twenty years In part he said:
Since the great powers were bitten with
the megalamonia with which the Germans
were accustomed to taunt u.s. as if it were
our exclusive popularity, TIE German empire
has increased siX-fold and the French four
fold, while England has only added a mod
est third to her colonial empire. Looking to
the certainty that we are likely 10 be ex-
cluded by hostile tariffs = ON any country
where the British flag does MOI float our
present policy is to take very firm attitude
and to maintain free markets. What the
foresight of our ancestors has done for US
in building great empire, we must con-
tinue to do for our successors This is not
have three-fold duty: First, to keep what
rightfully belongs to us; second in Lord
RoSeberrys admirable words to "peg out
claims for posterity,'' and, third, if any one
tries to rush those claims, gently to prevent
them. daughter and cheers.) We must
support we shall never find from foreign
nations; and, with this in view, we must be
ready to respond to any colonial overtures
without seeking pecuniary recompense, but
looking to the wider interests of the future.
Then came the Weightest portion of
The Saint Paul globe., 1898-01-19

the speech. Mr. Chamberlain reviewed
at length the West Indian question,
and the report of the royal commission
thereon, and emphasized the great in
jury to the bounty system, which, while
running the West Indies, brings a gain
estimated at 100000 yearly to Great
Britain" The government, he said, be-
lieved the country generous and just
enough to remedy this crying injus-
tice." He was glad that Belgium had
anticipated Great Britain in calling a
conference on the subject and hoped
this might succeed better than former
conferences. There were many objec-
tions, he continued, to counter-vailing
duties, which would involve us in COM
mercial treaty difficulties with foreign
nations, but the main objection was
that while the trade they wished to
save amounted to 100000 tons, Great
Britain's own sugar imports amounted
to 1,500,9 300 tons 1t seemed unscientifc
to benefit the former by injuring the
latter. Therefore" he said, "the gov
eminent has decided to exhaust every
alternative before having recourse to
such q drastic measure; and, feeling
that the recommendations of the COM
missioners, though good would not
work quickly enough, the chancellor of
the exchequer has consented to propose
to parliament a very large grant in
aid to the West Indies. The grant will
rot be so large as the incidental gain
Great Britain derived from the bounty
system but it will be large enough to
enable the industry and the population
to tide over crisis, until continental
