The first news Of the sinking OF the
Merrimac at the entrance Of the harbor
of Santiago was attributed to the
spaniards; but the facts are it was an
old and worthless steamer sunk by our
own men in the narrow channel in order
to obstruct the entrance. After blow
ing up the ship the gallant Lieutenant
Hobson and his seven men, all volunteers,
took to their boat and rowed to Admiral
Cervera's flag ship and surrendered
themselves as prisoners of war. The
Spanish admiral under flag of truce
sent word to Admiral Sampson and that

The trouble with Canada of late years
over ths Be'ing sea seal fisheries and the
north Atlantic and lake fisheriesi is likely
to be adjudicated, as commission has
been formed for that purpose. The
Alaska boundary and the Klondike may
also need adjusting. Recent events
render it apparent that all the govern
ments of the queens empire will be
willing to act in liberal and friendly
spirit in dealing with the United States,
and it may be taken for granted that
the representatives. of the Washington
government will be equally ready to
agree on just and mutually advantage
GUS terms The commission promises
to accomplish the very desirable work
of settling all questions now in debate
and safeguarding the amity which
properly should be maintained between
the two English speaking countries Of
North America.

The British blockade runner with a

Russian Paper Says We Should Be

ST. PETERSBURG, June 6.-The No
vosti, commenting yesterday on the
supposed intention of the Spanish gov.
ernment to appeal to the powers to in
tervene, says:
"It is full time to end a senseless and
criminal war. Spain's appeal is sort
of capitulation, but on the other hand,
America must voluntarily submit her
pretensions to tribunal Of the powers.
America cannot avoid doing this, as
her position, with two long and ex-
posed coast lines, is not such as could
Withstand the combined fleets of two
or three European powers. Let Europe
raise her mighty voice and restore that
peace to which mankind looks for, the
only peaceful expansion and fol the
triumph of civilization"
