Just remember that trouble is pretty
evenly divided in this world, and each
individual has his full share. Don't
worry your neighbor by relating your
own particular list of complaints, for he
does not care to hear them, and is much
more interested in his own. He may be
courteous enough to listen to your tale
of woe, but he will be bored none the
less.

BLOCKS HIS PROGRESS.
Egyptian Government Refuses to Allow
Camara to Coal His Ships at Port Said
Whittier Is His Destination?

New YORK, June 2s.-A dispatch to
the New York Tribune from Cairo,
Egypt, says: Admiral Camara has
asked to be allowed to purchase 10, 600
tons of coal for the Spanish fleet at
Port Said, but the Egyptian govern
ment refuses to permit the ships to
coal in Egyptian waters Pending de-
alterations, which are likely TO last
long time, the feet intends to remain
at Port Said. A dispatch from Port
Said, Egypt. says: Admiral Camara
has made extensive arrangements for
coaling his ships in the Red sea and
Indian ocean. Trustworthy informa-
ton leads to the belief that the true
objective point of Camara's fleet is not
Manila, but Hawaii and finally San
Francisco.

THE WORLD AT LARGE.
Summary Of the Daily News
WASHINGTON NOTES.

THE attorney general has decided to
surrender to the ambassadors of France
and Austria, as the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of Spain, the non-combat-
ants and crews of the prize merchant
vessels captured by our navy since the
declaration of war. The representa-
tives of Spain at Washington were
communicated with and their consent
secured to receive the prisoners and
ship them back to Spain.
ACCORDING to a Madrid dispatch on
the 23d the situation at Santiago de
Cuba was Critical" that fighting had
begun with the American army and
that the Spaniards had been obliged
to retire. The authorities at Wash
ington expressed themselves as being
gratified with the news, coming, as it
did, from the enemy, although no dis.
patches had been received from Gen.
Shafter.
A BLOODY tragedy was enacted the
other night in a little room in the rear
of Twenty-second street, Washington.
William H. Brooks, a veteran of the
civil war and until recently a watch
man in the navy department, was killed
by his wife Martha with a Ratchet, she
in turn being fatally injured with the
same weapon. {
ADMIRAL SAMPSON cabled from Playa
del Este on the Gath to Washington
the following: From a flag of truce l
learned that Lieut.. Hobson and his
companions are all we'll. They are
confined in the city Of Santiago, four
miles from Moro"
THE announcement was made on the
Goth that as long as the situation in
Cuba continued critical it was the
presidents intention to remain in
Washington, where he can direct bet
ter the operations of the war than at
any other point.
PRESIDENT MCKINLEY sent special
messages to congress on the 27th, rec
ommending that Lieut.. Hobson be suit
ably rewarded for his heroism in sink
ing the Merrimac in Santiago harbor.
and also that Lieut.. Newcomb, who
rescued the disabled Winslow from the
enemy's guns, be likewise rewarded.
The president also recommended re-
wards for Capt. Hogsdon, of the Hugh
McCulloch, for services at Manila, and
Naval Cadet Powell, for trying to res
cue Lieut.. Hobson.
The navy department at Washing
ton posted the following bulletin on
the 27th: Commodore Watson sails
to-day in the Newark to join Sampson,
when he will take under his command
an armored squadron with cruisers
and proceed at once off the Spanish
coast"
