CADIZ FLEET READY TO SAIL.

1t Is Said, However, That 1t Is Not the
Intention to Send 1t Out.
NEW YORK, June IA special to
the Herald from Cadiz says: 1.-The re-
serve feet, consisting of two iron
clads, one cruiser, twenty torpedo
boats, three torpedo boat ~destroyers,
with seven auxiliary cruisers and $500
troops, is under steam.
'The order is that the fires are now
to be kept up continuously, SO as to be
ready to depart at any moment. There
was, however, an accident IN board
the Alfonso XIII, whose torpedo tubes
proved defective. She was compelled
to return to the arsenal. This, it is
said, causes the delay, but it is be-
lieved that the accident is simply to
keep'the fleet at Cadiz.
"Your correspondent has been told
that the feet will not sail, as the au-
thorities do not want it to leave. They
will wait and wait until a catastrophe
has happened to Admiral Cervera's
fleet, and then there will be an explo-
sion of popular Indignation with pos
sibly an uprising.
"There is nothing to prevent the
squadron from sailing at once, but Adj
miral Camara and his officers and men
have quite lost their heads"

The National Chairman Says D~issension
May Cause the Party's Disruption.
Boston, June 13.-George F. Wash
burne, chairman of the national exec
utive committee of the Populist party,
has sent a letter to other committee
men calling attention to the ''deter-
mined contests between the fusion
lists and readers" for ascendency.
For either side to dominate will mean
the disruption of the party" he says.
This is a crisis that calls for the best
judgment our leaders possess. Our
safest and ablest men should be at
Omaha June 49,
He also urges the forwarding of
proxies by mail Or telegraph if the
delegates are unable to attend. He
further says: Our first duty is to the
party rs a whole rather than to any
faction of it. We must reconcile, not
embitter, unite rather than divide
A call has also been issued to the
Populist Senators, Congressman, gov
errors and the state chairmen and Sec
retaries to attend the meeting with the
privilege of the floor to express their
opinion and service, but they will have
no vote.

Repeats That Both England and America
Would Profit by an Alliance.
LONDON, June 13.-Sir Charles Dixie,
in the house of commons, moving a re-
duction in the foreign Office vote, at
tackled the Marquis of Salisbury's for
eign policy of concession.
Mr.. Chamberlain, on rising to reply,
was received with government cheers
and Irish National Kisses. He referred
to 1.-The Importance of a close under
standing with America" adding:
"In my opinion on such a matter the
United States would not listen to the
Irish vote" But whether England or
America were menaced, he said, he
hoped that it would be found that
blood was thicker than water, and,
without desiring to force either nation
to enter into an alliance with which a
majority of both peoples did not thor
oughly sympathize, he would repeat
defined and the clearer the alliance be-
tween the United States and England,
the better it would be for both nations
and civilization. Mr.. Chamberlain's
speech ended amid loud cheers from
the benches.
Mr.. John Dillon, the Irish National
leader, protested against Mr.. Chamber
lain's insults to the Irish in America.
Sir Charles Dilke's motion for a re-
duction in the foreign Office vote as a
rebuke to the governments foreign
policy was rejected by the house by a
vote of 254 against 12s.

WHAT AoLiNaLOO PROPOSES.
Conferences Had Been fI"ii WAN Amer
lean REPRESENTATIVE.

Conferences Had Been IIrii wiih Amer
lean Representative.
VANCOUVER, b. c., June 13.-lnfor-
nation has been brought by the steam
err Empress of Japan from Hong kong
regarding negotiations between inc
Philippine rebel chief and the United
States representatives at Singapore.
1t seems that just before the outbreak
of hostilities between Spain and n
United States Singapore was the scene
of a secret political arrangement by
which General Emilio Aguinaldo y
Femi, supreme head of the revolution
airy movement in the Philippines, en-
tered into direct relations with ADJ
miral Dewey while that officer was
still at Hong Kong.
General Aguinaldo's policy, as a re-
suit of these conferences, embraces n
independence of the Philippines, whose
internal affairs would be controlled
under European and American advis-
ers. American protection would be
desirable temporarily on the same
lines as that which might be instituted
hereafter in Cuba. The ports Of the
Philippines would be free to the trade
of the world, safeguards being erected
against an influx of Chinese aliens, who
would compete with the industrious
population of the country. There
would be a complete reform of the
present corrupt judiciary of the coun-
try under experienced European
law officers. The entire freedom
of the press would be established
as we'll as of thought and pub
lie meetings. There would be gen.
eral religious liberation and steps
would be taken for the expulsion OF
tyrannical religious fraternities, who
have such a strong hand on every
branch of the civil administration.
Full provision would be given for the
exploitation of the natural resources
and wealth of the country by roads,
railways, and by the removal of all
h%indrances to enterprise and the in
vestment of capital. The Spanish Of
fcials would be removed to a place OF
safety until al opportunity offered to
their return to Spain. The p~reserva-
ton of public safety and the checking
of reprisals against the Spaniards
would naturally have been the first
care of the government in the new
state of things.

OUR GUNNERY A LESSON.
Foreign Powers Will Probably Give Their
Ships More Target Practice.

Ships More Target Practice.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-Naval ex-
perts are watching with care the
records made by our gunners. Unlim-
tied praise is heard of their work in
Washington and abroad. The super
iority of fire over the Spanish is
due, naval officers believe, to the am
pie opportunity given American sea-
men to become familiar with the guns
and not to spare projectiles or powder
in target practice. Double the target
practice hat foreign services have is
given the navy and the result is shown
in the wonderful accuracy with which
everything aimed at has been knocked
to pieces.
Beginning at a range of 1000 yards,
or about four miles, the vessels of Ad-
miral SIMPSONS fleet at both Porto
Rico and Santiago got the range of
shore batteries and made every shell
perform its full function. At closer
range the fire of the ships seems to
have been even better. With every
chance of doing the American ships Sc

squarely hit by a big shell from Span
ish land d~efenses.
The chances are all favorable to the
shore guns over the ships ordnance in
a fight between the two. While the
vessel is a smaller target and moves
along, the shore batteries have sta
tionary gun platforms, and should, if
the range is secured properly, hit every
time. Yet the reports show that at
close ~range-within one mile ct both
Santiago and Porto Rico-not one pro-
%jectile struck a ship and few came dan
gerously near them. Other powers
probably will profit by this govern
ment's experience in providing liberal
ly for target practice at sea-

KANSAS CITY, No., June 13.-"Five
inches above danger line, and still
rising rapidly" is what the weather
authorities report of the Missouri
river this morning. The Kaw river,
too, stands higher than it has been at
any time this year. The high water
of the Missouri river has blocked the
Kaw's only outlet, and that stream is
now spreading itself over the low
lying fields along its shores.
This morning the weather authori-
ties said the Missouri river would prob
ably rise steadily till Sunday morning,
then come to a standstill for twenty
four hours. After that a gradual fall
is predicted.

"The certainty that the Spanish Allan

ination of the struggle has been
reflected in the market and in
lower rates for money. All industries
have felt the uplifting influence. In
finances the growing anxiety to lend
on even long exchanges at low rates,
in place of shipment of gold to this
country, begins to accumulate a stand
ing credit in favor of the United
States. A stronger situation it would
