MOSQUITO FLEETS.
A Number of Small Steam Graft to Be
Added to This Branch of Service.
No Movement Will Be Made Against Cuba
or Porto Rico Until the Spanish Fleet
is Either Destroyed or Other
wise Rendered Helpless.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The navy de-
partment is making ready for the pur-
chase of a number of small steam
craft to supplement the Mosquito fleets
on the coast. The chief of the Mos
quito fleets, Adm. Erben, at New York,
has submitted to the navy depart
ment a list of over one hundred such
craft which have been examined and
found suitable. The department was
prevented from making any purchases
on this score because it lacked
the necessary authorization, but now
that congress has passed and the pres
ident has approved an act appropria-
ting $1,000, 900 for the purchase of such
vessels, it will begin at once to acquire
them. They are needed very badly
just at present, not so much for scout
ing purposes as for the protection
of the elaborate mine fields which
the engineer officers have laid
in almost all Atlantic ports. The

CADIZ FLEET.
According to Report it is in Bad Shape to
to Go Manila or Anywhere Else for
Some Weeks to Come

New YORK, May 3O-A dispatch to
The World from London says: The
chief officer of steamer just in from
Cadiz said Friday night:
when we left Cadiz last Friday the
only Spanish warships there were the
battle ship Pelayo, the cruiser Emper-
ador Carlos ", one torpedo catcher
and the converted cruisers Patricia
and Rapido The cruisers were at the
arsenal
Everything bore the appearance of
unreadiness.
THE Pelayo's boilers, recently put
in at Toulon, had just been condemn
ed by the uperintending engineer at
Cadiz on the ground that they were of
insufficient strength. She was, how
ever, coaling.
1.-The Rapido and the Patricia had
not been fitted with guns, and neither
had a crew.
There was no belief in the reports
that the feet was going to Manila or
anywhere else for some weeks at
least"
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1898-05-31

from these ports has determined the
authorities here to deal Summarily
hereafter with persons who disregard
the repeated warnings the local en-
gineers have given the shipping cross
ing the mine fields. The Mosquito
feet vessels will all be armed, and if
any vessel disregards their warming
and interferes with the mines, or even
jeopardizes their workings, they wiz
pay the penalty.
At the close of the cabinet meeting
Friday it was authoritatively stated
that although the government had no
official information on the subject,
there was no reasonable doubt that
Adm. Cervera's feet was in Santiago
harbor and that Commodore Schley
was on guard at the entrance AL
though the information upon which
this belief is based is regarded as entire
ly trustworthy, the government will
make no important move or change it's
plans in the absence of direct confir-
nation from official sources. 1t was
also stated that any contemplated
movement against Cuba or Porto Rico
would be held in allegiance until the
Spanish feet either was DESTROYED or
otherwise rendered helpless to seri-
ously interfere with our plans in any
direction. The cabinet discussed
the situation at length but nothing
OF great consequence was decided
upon. The work of equipping and
mobilizing the volunteer army will be
pushed with all possible vigor with a
view to being in perfect readiness for
any call that might be made when the
Spanish fleet shall no longer be seri-
Gus factor in the war problem. All of
the members of the cabinet were pres
ent except Attorney General Griggs,
who is at his home in New JERSEY.

GLADsToNE's FUNERAL.
Last Honors shown the Grand Old Man by
the Highest Nobility and All the
People of London.

LONDON, May 3O.-The obsequies of
Gladstone took place Saturday. The
simple ceremonies were impressive,
appropriate to the transformations
grandeur of the statesman, whose
memory they honored.
In the center of Westminster hall a
plain oak coffin lay upon a severely
plain dais. Not flower or bit of
draping softened its rigid outlines
Huge wax candles fickered at each
corner and a brass cross stood at the
head.
A folded pail lay at the foot of the
coffin.
Shortly after ten o'clock the process
sion began to form. There was a long
file of Great Britain's foremost men
clad in mourning costume.
First came the speaker of the house
of commons in robes and wig. He was
preceded by mace-bearer and fol-
lowed by some 400 members of parlia-
ment. Then came group of privy
councillors, and after these the lords

and followed by a number of peers and

coffin stood the duke of Connaught,
the duke of Cambridge and the earl of
Pembroke, representing the queen.
On either side of the coffin were
ranged the pallbearers-thep prince of
Wales, the duke of York, the marquis
of Salisbury, the earl of ROsebery,
Arthur j. BalfOur, Sir William Har-
court, the duke of Rutland, the earl
of mberley, Lord Rendel and Mr..
Amistead. Behind the coffin were the
Gladstone family, the sons, young
grandsOns, private secretaries, physi-
clans and servants. There were nc
ladies. Last of all came a pathetic
group of old villagers of Hawarden.
When all had taken their places the
duke of Norfolk, the earl marshal of
England, conducted the bishop of Lon
don to the coffin, where he offered
brief prayer. Then the coffin was
raised upon the shoulders of the bear
ers and the procession moved slowly
from the hall to the abbey.
Outside a vast throng filed the whole
neighborhoOd and every roof and win
dow was crowded with spectators.
After a short service in the church
the remains were conveyed to the
grave. 1t is in the very center of the
north transept. 1t was at the feet of
the statue of Gladstone's greatest rival.
Lord Beaconsfeld.

statements to the contrary the men

AN ALLIANCE.
Preliminary Steps Taken by England
and the United States.
Great Britain to Recognize the Monroe
Doctrine and Uncle Sam to Build the
Nicaraguan Canal and Allow Eng
land to Use 1t in Case of War.

LONDON, May 3O.-The Washington
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph,
telegraphing Sunday says: 81 have
just learned from high authority in
the state department that important
preliminary steps toward an anglo.
American alliance have already been
taken. How far these negotiations,
If they can yet be called
that, have proceeded, it is not easy to
ascertain, for, naturally, strict secrecy
is maintained, but my information is
that the preliminary suggestions have
been made and that the subject of
such an alliance is practically before
the two governments in some shape.
''The recent visits of Sir Julian
Pauncefote to the state department
have not it seems had reference alto
gether to the Canadian negotiations.
According to my authority the features
of the proposed alliance now being
considered are these:
England is to recognize the Mon
roe doctrine, to attempt no increase of
her territorial possessions in the west
ern hemisphere, and to indorse the
American construction of that doc.
trine. The United States is to build
the Nicaragua canal and Great Britain
is to have the use of it in time of
war.
''The United States is to have all the
territory taken from Spain in the pres
ent war and Great Britain is to pro-
tect the United States in the posses
sion if this should be threatkned. The
United States is to stand by England
in her policy in China and the east,
and all the British ports in the east
are to be opened to the United States
under the most favored nation clause.
The main features of an arbitration
treaty are to be incorporated. 1t has
been provided that all matters in dis
pute not involving the Monroe doc
trine or the Nicaragua canal, are to
be submitted to nOn-partisan com
mission. The existing understanding
bearing upon the relations between
the two governments on the great
lakes are to be abrogated and the
United States are to be given the use
OF the Welland canal in case of war.
The alliance is to be offensive and
defensive. 1t proceeds on lines such
as the foregoing. As a matter of
course, all that has been done so far is
purely tentative, but my informant
gives the above as the general outline
suggested"
