tai, or local governor, to Chinese
paper allege that the emperor commit
ted suicide September 21, after signing
a decree which placed the dowager en-
press at the head of affairs in China.
This, it is added, is understood to mean
that the emperor has also been an
nounced mi-officially. All the
English-speaking secretaries and the
principal members OF the Chinese Tor
eign Office, it is further announced.

ceived dispatch from her majesty's
minister at Peking saying Mr.. Morti-
mer. a member of the British legation,
on returning home yesterday with a

sionaries were similarly atts cked, as
was the Chinese secretary of the United
States legation. The latter's ribs were
broken.
Sin Claude Mcdonald, the British
minister at Peking, reports that there
is dangerous feeling abroad.

Bail Declined and the English Peer Goes
to Prison


London, Feb. 1.-The preliminary ex.
animation of Lord " i!lism Nevill was
resumed in Bow street police court to-
day He was arrested week ago in con
nection with the suit of Noneylender
Lewis against Spencer Clay. an officer of
the Guards, to recover $4,000 on two
promisory notes cnshed for Lord Me- ille
Lewis testified to having accepted Lord
Nevill's notes, purporting to Ne signed
by Nevill and Clay. He had previously
pronissory notes cashed for Lord Nevill
who was largely indebted to him. Early
in December last Lord Nevill asked him
to cash bills for $40 900, signed py Clay
and witnesses agreed to do so, but wan ted
to see Clay first, but Nevill afterward
said he did not want the money.
On Cross examination Lewis said Lord
Sevill had several times intimated IA de-
sire to come to London and testify in the
action brought against Mr.. Clay
Sir John Bridge the presiding mags-
trate in committing Loru Nevill on a

TO VISIT THE WEST INDIES.
The Cruise of the Queen Of the
Navy Has Been Changed.

Washington, Feb. lin pursuance of
its policy to keep in close touch with
Americs industries in the West Indies
at this critical time, the Navy Depart
ment to-day sent the cruiser BROOKLYN
there. She will visit ST Thomas. Aspin-
Wall and places in the Wintward Islands.
bot her commander is especially en;oined
not TO touch at any port of Cuba. This
injunction was deemed necessary on ac-
count of the hysterical tendency of the
Spanish government and people to take
ALARM over the disposition of United
States naval vessels in the vicinity of
their rebellious island
While officials of the navy saw the
Brooklyn is merely going OH ordinary
cruise to places in which the stars and
stripes had not appeared for several
years,it is regarded as Significant that the
orders to the Brooklyn to join the North
Atlantic squadron have been counter
Tanded.
She is one of The finest ships in the
navy and presents combin alton of fight
ing ability and sailing power that has few
if any equals.
The reported intention of Spain to
heavily reinforce it's fleet in the West In
dies may be one of the reasons for the
orders.
