TILE OREGON IS SAFE
The Battleship Reported From

TOPEKA ARRIVES At NEW YORK.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The navy de-
partment received official confirmation
Of the arrival of the battleship Oregon
Et Rio Janeiro. This was the subject of
general satisfaction. for it means the
very material strengthening of Admiral
sampson's fleet before Havana within
the next fortnight. The Oregon has
been making 13 knots, or about 800 miles
day. and 1t is calculated that she will
cover the 5000 miles between Rio and
Cuba in ten days. She must coal, how

author and strategist is expected daily
to assume a place on the strategy
board. The members We're looking for
him yesterday. He has been visiting
It Rome, but was ordered here by cable
and is about due. He will be valuable
acquisition to the board The strategy
board was in session for a time yester-
day, but their discussions as usual were
guarded with much secrecy. Il IS un-
derstood that the course Of the Spanish
fleet which left Cape Verde on Friday is
n source of much interest. If, as report
ed, the fleet is actually coming this
way, il Will be hailed with delight by
naval authorities here. What they have
most feared was that the Spanish ships
would hug the other side compelling
our fleets to go In quest of them. If
they come to Puerto Rico, 1t will meet
the best hopes OF the naval authorities
here.
Captain Rodgers, who has been at the
head of the auxiliary board buying ships
in New York. called at the department
yesterday There is some talk that he
will be assigned to command one of the
American liners now under charter
possibly the Paris, which has just ar
rived after eluding Spanish ships.
Secretary Alger's Office was open, but
the secretary did not come down. The
officials were busy stemming the tide
of official business.
The published report that the state
department had notified the various EN-.
bassies and legations in Washington
that a land invasion of Cuba would be-
gin on Wednesday next is pronounced
by diplomats to be a canard. No such
notice has been given.

A TYPICAL EGYPTIAN VILLAGE
Sud, without Ventilation and
Overrun with vermin.

Built entirely of sun-dried mud. the
small, low huts, from considerations OF
economy and space, join one another
whenever possible. Narrow and tortu-
Gus lanes, left at haphazard. form the
only thoroughfares, in which at first
appears TO be a huge mound of mud,
surmounted by heaps of cotton and dur
ra stalks, which serve the dual purpose
of thatch and fuel. Many of these lanes
are merely culs-de-sac, ending abruptly
in neighbor's courtyard and forcing
one to retrace his steps and try again.
Experience has taught me that it is
never wise to assume that the streets
lead in the direction at first suggest
ed; 1t is often safer to start the other
way and trust 10 the winding of the
path TO bring one out somewhere near
the desired spot.
As n rule, the villages hive the ap.
pearnnce of fortifcations, the outside
walls being frequently without doors
or windows, and the lanes of the village
terminating in massive wooden doors,
which are usually closed at nightfall,
and guarded on the inside by the village
gufrrah. or night-watchmen.
Each house" has usually one door,
opening into tho lane, small and low,
and the few windows, II provided atall,
are merely sllts in the mud wall, limo
cent Of glass or shutter, but ornament
ed with a lattice Of split bamboo, placed
crosswlse during building. Ventilation
there is virtually none, the smoke Of the
fire of dung or corn-cohs finding its
| egress by the door, and well-nigh chok-
ing the inhabitants, which include not
only the family, but chickens turkeys.
/ pigeons, goats and whutever live stock
the Inhabitants possess
Every effort TO exclude air seems 20
be made, the houses being too low TO
feel the breezes, and the streets too mar
row 10 allow of any air circulation. The
roofs, covered with piles Of rubbish for
fuel, afford accommodation for a sec
ond installment of goats, pigeons, cats,
and especially dogs. One wonders how
life can be supported in such condi-
tions; yet the people are well-condi-
toned and healthy, living their lives in
the fields, and returning to their houses
only o eat and sleep. Insect life natur-
ally abounds, the Egyptian flea partic-
ularly being a prodigy Of manly yigor
and activity; but the fellah has hide
like gamoos (the Egyptian buffalo,,
and even travellers like myself eventu-
ally become imperyious TO its onslaught
Outside the village, and almost at their
very doors, the filth and offal Of the
place are deposited, resulting in the
development OF that plague peculiar to
Egyptian life-"hie hies"-disgusting. but
very necessary as scavengers. without
fhich and the equally valuable raj
these villages would quickly become
uninhabitable ~ r Talbot Kelly, in

ST. JOHNS, N. f, May 2.-The gov
ernor, Sir Herbert Murray, issued a
royal gazette extraordinary Saturday
night containing the following procla-
nation received from the Right Honor
able Joseph Chamberlain, imperial Sec
retary of state for the colonies:
"No coal shall be supplied TO any bel
ligerent ships except for the specific
purpose Of enabling them to proceed
direct to their own country or 10 some
other named neutral destination, with
reference TO which the supply of coal is
given.
Coal should not be supplied at all II
there are reasonable grounds for sup
posing that it is in fact to be used for
another purpose"
The proclamation is regarded as pre-
venting the Spanish fleet from securing
coal here for an attack on American

heavy appearance aloft without fighting

the appearance of a big cargo steamer

whether he had sighted any war ves-

fact that the Topeka's guns were not
