SPAIN'S ACTIVITY.

Maxim says We Ought to Have Begun
buying II Week Ago.
London. March S.-The English news
papers to-day confirm the news of the
Spanish purchase of warships. The St
James Gazette, which yesterday pub
lished the denials of the Spanish en-
bassy and the Spanish naval commits
sion, which has an office in London,
says to-day: 1T is ascertained on very
high authority. in spite of the denials,
that the Spanish government has al
most certainly succeeded in buying
three nearly completed cruisers mere
and two coast defense vessels which
are about to be launched in France.
ExISrts are almost as much surprised
at enc success of Madrid in raising
money as by the clever diplomacy
which secured the Chilean and Brazil
ian cruisers of the Armstrong; at a
cost, 1t is believed, of G1.0oO,000 al
most before the move was suspected"
The article goes on to say that much
competition between Spain and the
United States for these various ships
constructing was expected. but Amer
lea has come TO the conclusion that its
naval resources are strong enough to
confront Spain and is playing a wait
ing game"
The introduction in congress yester-
day of bill appropriating S0V.oeV,oVo
for national defense has excited the ut
most interest among English dealers in
war munitions. Hiram Maxim of rapid
fire gun fame said significantly that il
the United States intended TO make
purchases in England she should have
begun a week ago.
The Standard to-day publishes a long
article comparing the nayies of the
United States and of Spain and says:
Some indication of the extent to which
/ Spain is prepared is afforded by the
measures adopted to protect Havana
harbor against surprises. With the
fiotilla of torpedo boats which joins the
Tizcaya and Almirante Oquendo there,
before the end of March the squadron
composed of the Alfonso MIL and the
Maria Theresa with two second class
/ cruisers and torpedo boats will be re-
/ inforced by the battleships Pelayo
/ Charles V. and Christopher Columbus
accompanied by three destroyers and
three torpedo boats. The fleets thus
brought together in the West Indies
are described as representing all the
j available naval force for foreign serv-
+, ice and il will be entirely modified
j Some old ironclads which We're recently
refitted will be utilized in guarding tht
+ coasts of the peninsula"

the United States who demands the open
ing of hostilities. 1t is essential that this
double game should be ended in order to
prevent the two countries from going to
war without motives and without either
of them desiring it,
semi-official news agency of this city
issued to-day the following announce
ment: After brief measures there is
general belief that peace will not be bro
ken and the relations between Spain and
the United States will continue amicable.
Political personages assert that the late
sensational dispatches are completely
wrong in attributing an aggressive tone to
the diplomatic relations between the two
governments, which have not for a single
moment lost friendly character"

orders from the navy department, di-

gotiations naturally are circuitous, as
there are three parties in it, namely,

States. and the shipbuilders There Is
good reason to believe that terms could
be made between the United States and
she shipbulders. and that so far as they
are concerned the transaction could be
concluded without any further negotia-
ton. While suggestions have been
made that the right of eminent domain
would permit the United States to take
the two cruisers without reference to
Japan's rights, there is no desire among
the officials here to resort to such radi-
cal steps. Moreover. Ii is said that such
action would be an international
offense directed against Japan and an
unfriendly act which this government
is not likely to commit at this moment
toward friendly power
Japan's Consent Necessary.
The present negotiations contemplate
Japan's full acquiescence. but whether
they will succeed cannot be said at this
time. 1t is known positively, however.
that no overtures have been submitted
thus far to the authorities at Toxic, and
ii would be for them to give the final
decision. Pending this contract could
not be made nor an option given. The
negotiations took a marked step for
ward to-day. although. as stated, they
have not yet reached the final stage.
The two cruisers are not only being
built for Japan but they have already
become the actual property of Japan by
the payment of a considerable portion
of the purchase price. towit, Sl,S50,00O
each. They are within three months of
completion on an emergency basis They
are designed to make % knots, which
rank them among the swiftest cruisers
in the world.
This arrangement, primary and sec
ondary, is according to the Japanese
naval standard. which proved so effec-
tive in her recent war with China. The
government officials here feel that there
is not likely to be manifested an exhibit
tion of a disposition on the part of
Japan to stand upon the technical objec-
tions to the sale of thes ships to the
United States government in case the
decision Is reached to purchase them,
basing this belief upon many kindly
expressions that of late have come to
their notice and to the past record OF
the japanese nation.

as if he had something on his mind At

friends Cor good many years and
friendship must be my excuse if hurt

But it's on my mind end it's got to

what has happend? He dropped his
voice to solemn "hark from the tombs"
tone and says, "Chapman," says he, "do
you know your advertising is getting to
be sensatlonal?" And he fairly trembled
with excitement. Well, | stared at him
until the funny side of it struck me, that
here was a man that had not seen that
sensation was what | was working for,
and then | laughed. He turned red and
walked out of the store as mad as he
could well be, thinking | was making
fun of him. Well, he'll cool of when

Our little Rutland road is getting a
reputation for plugugliness. 1t was
only short time ago that a party of
Brandon volunteers were put of at
Shelburne because of technical error in
their passes, and now the Vergennes
Nermonter brings out another story
Monday the Rutland railroad sold
special excursion tickets good only on
special trains. Quite a number remained
until the late train, expecting to pay
their fares. just after the train left
Burlington, or rather proceeded a mile
and half, Conductor Holland stop
ped the train and forcibly put off
eight Vergennes people from the train.
The boys were obliged 10 walk back to
the city and remain until the next morn
ing. From the information we have
received it seems that Conductor Holland
lost his head. The boys presented their
tickets to see if they would be accepted,
but of course they were not and before
they had time to pay or make explanation
they were rushed off the cars. One
fellow presented his ticket and also held
a dollar in the other hand which he
offered, but the conductor seemed to be
blind or deaf and pushed him of. f. A..
Connolly was pushed of with such force
that he was thrown down - foot en-
bankment. His clothes were badly torn
and he was considerably bruised up. He
is now under physicians care. The
matter has been put in the hands of
lawyers here. The conductor violated
the laws of Vermont in putting these
men of between stations and the men
will push the matter if the road does
not settle
