Young Constructor VIII Be Given Fur
ther Aid in Raising Cristobal Colon.
Assistant Secretary Allen, who has
been directly in charge of the arrange
ments made with the wrecking COM
panies for raising such of the Spanish
warships, sunk or stranded in the
battle of July Sd as can be recovered,
said, referring to Constructor Hob
sons work on the Teresa, that the
navy department had given the young
constructor all of the assistance which
it was possible to extend in the prose
cution of his work Moreover, it is
now proposed to give him further aid
in his effort to raise the Colon, by
far the finest ship in the Spanish
squadron. In the case of this ship,
young Constructor Hobson has staked
his professional reputation against the
unanimous opinion of all the expert
wreckers who have examined the ship.
Yet the navy department is unhesitat-
ingly supporting Hobson's judgment,
as is indicated by the fact that it
shipped from New York $40, 900 worth
of specially manufactured rubber all
bags to be used in lifting the Colon.

PHILIPPINES LOST TO SPAIN

REPRESENTS THE VIEWS OF THE PRESIDENT
of the Island of Luzon--A Protest to
Be Made to the Paris Commission.
Minister Hoshi's Opinion.

In an interview with Senator Han
ma aconcerning the Philippine question,
he had the following to say, which is
believed to represent the views of
President Mckinley:
81 do not know what the instruc-
tions given to our peace commissioners
are" said the senator, ''but as far as
concerns the negotiations which will
be instituted in Paris I can see no
other result than that Spain will have
to relinquish her sovereignty not only
over the Luzon island, but the entire
Philippine archipelago. Spain has no
reason to expect to be able to retain
any portion of the group. She went
into the war and lost and now ought
to be prepared to suffer all the conse-
quences which such defeat implies.
1 regard the Philippines as lost to
Spain, and that being foregone con-
clusion, in my opin on, the problem
which next confronts us relates to the
form of government which we will
give the islands"

ing regular part of the training given

mental instruction in reading, writ
ing ciphering and grammar. In
struction in domestic science will not
be optional but obligatory. Expert
ments made in the introduction of
these new branches of learning have
ony served to confirm their value and
pncticability as part of any judici-
GUS system of rudimentary instruction.
Not all the girls who are taught to cook
and sew will of ne necessity be compelled
TO the daily practice of those accom-
|pishments, but none will be worse off
ior such knowledge, and none can tell
upon what emergent occasion profici-
eny in either craft may prove invalu-

Major-General Fitzhugh Lee was at
the war department Friday. There
seems to be no doubt in official circles
that General Lee is scheduled to go to
Cuba. Some question has aresen, how
ever, as to the point in Cuba he will
occupy. Quite number of public
men, and it is probable that General
Lee himself, would prefer that his
command go to Havana. There is
some sentiment in the matter and
many persons have expressed the hope
that as Blanco marches out, that Gen
eral Lee might march into the city. A
number of men in official life have
already interested themselves in this
subject and will urge the president to
issue his orders for the occupation OF
Cuba with this end in view.

The president of the Philippine con

ToRoNro, Ont The majority for
prohibition in the entire Dominion will
not likely exceed $4,000. All the
provinces except Quebec voted pro
hibition, Ontario giving it majority
of about 10000. Quebec's majority
against, 1000, is just about offset by
the returns from the maritime prov
