KEY WEST, Fla, May 27.-Naval men
say that Commodore Schley is probably
lying off Santiago de Cuba harbor with
the Spanish fleet imprisoned inside. 1t is
known that the Spanish fleet has war sup
objective point. Every movement of Ad-
miral Cervera has shown this.
While 1t would be improper to analyze
the composition of the fleets 1t may be said
that Commodore Schley's squadron is still
a fast moving one, and is believed to be
speedy enough to cvertake the Spaniards
In race, in view of the present condition
OF their fiotilla, and that the American
scouting boats patrol the seas and would
never permit the Spaniards to get out of
sight again.
Imprisonment of Spains fleet would prac-
t1cally end SPANS naval efforts, and most
of the American vessels could be detailed
for operations against the land defenses.

vessels into two great fleets. Indeed, these
fleets are so handled that they are still

weather during the past week, with fire.

OUR TRADE WITH CHINA.
Great Already and Promises to Be
come Much More Extensive.

Great Already and Promises to Be
come Much More Extensive.
Mr.. Hugh O'Beirne, second secretary of
the British embassy here, has made a re-
port to the British foreign Office on the ex-
tent of commerce between the United
States and China.
The report shows that volume of United
States trade in China represents more than
one-seventh of the trade of the empire 1t
is 30 per cent greater than the trade of
Germany with China, and comes next 20
| the trade of Great Britain, that being the
first in commercial Importance.
The increase in American trade has been
going on rapidly within the last ten years,
and this increase has been entirely on the
side of American goods, our exports in
creasing, while Chinese imports were de-
creasins. By far the most valuable branch
OF the trade is that In cotton goods. China
last year took 81 list, 900 out OF a total ex-
port of S11,2S1, 0O0 almost half Of all
our cotton clothes shipped abroad.
They came from the New England mills.
But there has been quite recently a re-
markable increase of shipment from the
west by way of San Francisco and Puget
Sound. Continuing, Mr.. OBeirne says:
There is every reason 10 think that the
effective opening UP of the interior prov
inces to foreign commerce will be followed
by 81 eat expansion of the Chinese de-
mand for foreign cotton, in which the
tApOIteTS Will nave Il very large
share of interest.
The dense masses of the Chinese popula-
ton, clad almost exclusively in cotton
cloth. offer practically unlimited market
for cotton goods
The export of American kerosene oil to
China ranks second in Importance to that
of cotton goods. The Russian oil is the
only serious foreign competitor with which
the American product has to reckon. In
| 1895 China took 3:}, 900 900 gallons of Ameri-
| can OIL as against 2S,OO0,0O0 of the Russian
| oil.
Mr.. O'Beirne also shows the increasing
| value of our trade in wheat Hour, iron and
| steel, and railroad materials. He says the
| Chinese show full recognition of = the
| superiority of the American -four over their
| own roughly cleaned product He says the
! increasing industrial activity Of China, and
K the building of railroads, will secure TO
American makers a large proportion Of the
| &C ntracts for steel rails, locomotives, etc.
He remarks that the iron and steel in
| dIstry is one in which the United States
| have recently shown their ability to COM
| pete with all rivals. In particular, Mr.
O. Beirne points out the Importance of Chi
nese trade upon the development Of our
Pacific coast states

CHINESE CHILDREN.
A Traveller in the Orient Waxes En-
fhusinstfc Over Them.
From the Philadelphia Times

rlom the Inlladelph1a Times.
A traveller recently returned from China
Is most enthusiastic over Chinese children
He states that they are as pretty and
bright as buttons, and run scurrying awav
from wherever you may chance to walk
IN the quarter. The parents are very fond
OF their children, especially the men. The
women do not seem to care much for their
offspring, but the men fondIe the little
ones all day, and love to carry them about
In their arms. 1t delights Chinese father
to have his children admired The babies
are undeniably interesting The little bows
assume the dignity of cue strings when
they are about five years of age Red is
the prevailing color for the cues of both
the boys and girls. 1t means simply youth
ana mas no sinister significance, as so
many Americans think. The Chinese chill
dren wear any number of bankies beads
and bracelets by way of decoration. 1t is
not unusua, to see bangles on their bare
ankles as they run through the streets
Their clothes are very brilliant although
there seems to be a growing and unfortu-
nate tendency to dress them in the Amer
lean fashion. Many of the children go to
American mission schools, and parents of
heather faith allow their children to go
to the white devils " missionary schools
because of the advantage they have in
learning English. After school hours the
little ones play on the sidewalks Their
games are queer, and the most common
materials, such as sticks and stones, are
playthings for the Chinese child One of
their favorte games is a worm and a bowl
and the screams that greet the worms at
tempt to escape are fraught with merri-
ment and terror. The little girls are less
happy than the boys and they are usually
staggering under the weight of an inordi-
nately fat baby brother, but they do not
seem to mind. They are extremely obedi-
ent children, and appear brighter than lit
tie Americans Of the same age.

NOT AN APARTMENT HOUSE.
A Reported Change I'm the Character
of q Proposed Building.

1t may be that an apartment house. as
proposed, will not be erected at the north
west corner of 18th and 1 streets. AS
stated in The Star several days ago, a
protest was filed with the District Commits
sioners. signed by a number of the prop
erty holders in that locality, protesting
against the issue of permit for a struc-
ture on that site higher than 80 feet.
The position taken by the protestants
was that as the streets on which the pro-
posed structure was to face was in neither
case more than ninety feet wide, and
further that as the location was in a resi-
dence section of the city then under build
ing regulations, ii was claimed authority
could not be given for building higher
than ninety feet.
According to this rumor some interests in
the property. the latter having been re-
Gently transferred to a company formed

are to pass into new hands. 1t is said that
the new element comprises some of thoss
who object to the character of the pro-
posed improvement.
Then the plan is to remodel the
building now on the property, which is
an old-fashioned house built in the sub
stantiai manner which is supposed to dis
tirguish the work of this kind in the good
old days. When this is accomplished il is
said that the French ambassador will lease
the property for a term of years.

Dead or Alive:


From the Chicago News.
Medical men in Paris are much perplexed
over the case of a man named Poinsignon,
thirty-six years old, who died recently and
was duly buried two days afterward at the
expense Of the parish. The undertaken
man were surprised at the absence of rig
ioity in the CORPSE" which was also sim
gularly warm at the time of burial One OF
them happened to mention this fact to an
acquaintance Of the deceased" who there
upon related that only about a year ago his
friend had fallan into lethargic sleep and
remained SO for nearly a month. The I'M
dertaker's man communicated this inforna-
ton to the authorities, with the result that
the body was hastily exhumed. 1t was
found to be still comparatively warm.
There were no traces of decomposition,
neither was the corpse" stiff. Several doc
tors have seen it, but hesitate to say
whether the man is dead or alive. He will
now be kept in hospital until positive proof
one way or the other is obtained.

cases of smallpox as having occurred here.

THE CANADIAN NEGOTIATIONS.
Promise of an Agreement Given by
the Spirit Prevailing.

the spirit Prevailing.
The Canadian negotiations were resumed
at the State Department today. An UNI
Outstanding has been reached that the do
tails of the negotiations will not be made
public until the work is well along and
definite results been decided. In a general
way, however. it is stated that the spirit
prevailing at the conference gives better
promise of an agreement than ever before.
The members taking part in the conference
are free to admit that this is due largely
to the recent expressions of cordially be-
tween Great Britain and the United States.
1t has found expression in several ways
since this conference began. The words
of greeting by President Mckinley when
Sir Louis Davies was presented to him are
said to have been exceedingly cordial, and
Secretary Day reiterated the friendly senti-
ments.
Last evening the British ambassador and
Sir Louis met a number of representative
public men at Mr.. Fosters house, including
Secretaries Alger and Wilson and Senators
Frye and Lodge. Although social gath
ering. there were opportunities for ex-
changing views the growing good will
between the Engl;sh-speaking people on
both sides of the waters.
1t is said that the Canadian people fully
share in this growing friendship, and that
when member of the Canadian parlia-
ment made a speech the other day, Incl
dentally casting a reflection on this coun-
try, the two party leaders, Sir Wilfred
Laurier, premier and liberal leader, and Sir
Charles Upper, conservative leader, at
once arose and rebuked the member for
his expressions their remarks being greet
ed with enthusiastic cheers from both sides
of the chamber. This incident. it Is stated
by the officials here, is characteristic OF
the present sentiment prevailing in Cana
da. The government has issued orders to
Guiding New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
directing them to Immediately report any
attempt to send coal or provisions or other
munitions of war to either of the belliger-
ents in the present war.
While the order applied to both parties,
its manifest operation is to prevent ship
ments of war munitions coal to the
Santiago, or to the blockaded points in
Cuba
Thus far the Canadians have not taken
official cognizance of the presence of Sec
rotary Du Bose, the former associate of
Mr.. Polo in the Spanish legation here, but
there is reason to believe that if Mr.. Du
Bose and those with him at Montreal do
not strictly abide by the rules governing
persons taking asylum in foreign country
they will be called to account and made
to discontinue their operations.
