Dolan Charged With Perjury.

Special Dispatch to The Call
 FRESNO, April 22.-The latest phase of the Nevils-Azhderian case, which is at tracting much interest in this city, oc- cured this evening, when M. H. AZhderian swore to warrant for the arrest of Thomas Dolan on a charge of perjury. John Azhderian and MyrOn, his brother, have suits for S25 900 and $50 GOO respec- lively against Nevills for alleged impris- Onment in the Palace Hotel at San Fran cisco and Captain Nevills does not hesi- tate to say that there is a conspiracy to blackmail him. An effort is being made to probe the matter to the bottom, and a number of arrests have been made, the purpose of which is generally believed to be to get a chance to question witnesses under oath and elicit from them facts concerning the conspiracy.
 Dolan was arrested for disturbing the peace of Azhderian and pleaded guilty, the influence was brought to bear and the case was tried and resulted in sensational testimony of a plot to assaSsinate Cap tain Nevills being brought out. Dolan told under oath that Azhderian had ap- preached him and made a proposition to murder Nevills. Dolan's testimony in volved Myron Azhderian and Mrs. Will Hams. who were employed at Nevills' story declaring it all a fabrication. and has charged Dolan with perjury for testi- flying to it.
 Dolan, it is understood. will receive the support of Captain Nevills, while Azhde- rian will have the benefit of Mrs. Will liams' testimony. She will swear the story is not true

SPANISH SHIPS MAY
 INTERCEPT THE PARIS.

SOUTHAMPTON, Eng, April 22.- The steamer Paris of the American line, chartered by the United States Government, sailed at 2;15 p. m. for New York, though her regular sailing day is Saturday. She had 150 passen- gers, and her cargo included a quan- tity of guns and ammunition. There was great enthusiasm among the crowds on the docks, and the band of the Union Steamship Company's steamer Britain played Yankee Doo- dle' as the Paris steamed seaward. The Paris passed Hurst Castle at 3:35 p. m
 LONDON, April 23.-The Daily Mail says: The Spanish embassy notified the Madrid Government of the depart ure of the Paris, and it is believed that fast cruisers from CadiZ and Corunna will try to intercept her.
 The Liverpool correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says: Surprise was expressed here to-day (Friday) that the Paris should have sailed unescort ed, especially as there were rumors in the Mersey that Spanish war vessels were waiting to intercept her off the south coast of Ireland. Yet the pas sengers of the Paris were assured of their perfect safety.
 The Chronicle publishes a rumor that the American liner Paris had already been captured by Sranish warships

strength. You know we are all English when 1t comes to a matter Of ar
 or at least the majority of us are. Hence ever exist between two nations allied by the closest of all ties-a common blood,
 Stll another fact we must consider when surveying the field of reason opened by the question of an Anglo American alliance is the effect upon com merce. We are not a nation of seamen; England Is. Our marine is not developed Hers has gained with every year. T. is as sea power that she holds her nigh position. Were it otherwise she would never be able to maintain her dignity and power in all parts of the world On the sea an alliance would be of unquestioned advantage to us
 Is it not possible for us to place our selves on an equality with Great Britain? Can we not build all the ships we need?
 professionally we can build ships We nave as good shipwrights and as good facilities for constructing vessels as could pe desired But how can we man these shlps! We have more vessels now than we have experienced crews for. You can educate man in the principles of mill tary duty Tn a comparatively short space of time, but seamen must be bred. Eng land has been breeding them for cen turles. Her mariners are to the manner porn. Your true seaman is never a lands man: For this reason the sails Of Eng lands fleets are on every. sea and her ships are manned by men whose home is the sea- who are more capable Of deeds or greatness on water than on land. Eng land IS infinitely superior on the ocean. It would take us more than a hundred years to bring our marine, our navy, up to her standard.
 Then you consider that an alliance with England would because of England's S powerful navy, be of advantage to us in whatever position we might assume re- garding the settlement of the Chinese question?
 I would not say that As said before. l do not think that the matter of an alliance can now be ntelligently and dis passionately discussed on the basis of an individual case. It is a question Of pT1n- ciple, of advisability, and, therefore, to say we should rush into an alliance of any sort because of one reason or an- other Is unwise. It is possible that Eng lands support would be of aid to us in the Chinese matter. Certainly the United States cannot assume an attitude of in difference. for her commercial interests that are involved are altogether too i'm portant. We are prone to forget that we have a Pacific Coast. We are inclined to look at China as from New York, when in reality New York has nothing to do with the matter. Our commerce. our traffic with the Eastern countries is a possession of San Francisco and the Pa cific Coast. We must recognize that fact. The day is coming when all that section of the United States will be filled with people just as it is east of the Mississippi. Considering this fact, the necessity of ac- tion by our Government in the Chlnese matter is clearly apparent.

 The prevailing idea of the moment is to obliterate everything American however trif1ing. and it has even come down to the sign of an American dent ist, Dr. Tinker, which was wrenched away.

 During General Woodford's journey from Spain there have been many dis orderly scenes at stations where the train stopped. General Woodford knew nothing of the disturbances until he reached Tolosa. There a sergeant of the civil guard. accompanied by a priv ate, boarded the train and demanded that MT. Joaquin Moreno dsembark from the car. James, the general S valet, thereupon awakened the general who hurriedly dressed while matters were being explained to him.
 The general then formally protested. through the medium of a correspond ent, against the attempted interference with his suite, declaring that Mr. Mo- reno was his private secretary and a British subject. The Spaniards claimed that he was a Spanish subject but the general refused to give him up to the police and placed himself in the door way of the compartment in which MT. Moreno was travelling, declaring he would only surrender the latter if forced to do so.
 The Minister then asked the cores pondent to explain to the Spaniards that he placed MT. Moreno under the protection of the British flag and that if they took him 1t would only be by using personal violence to the United States Minister. who proposed to pro- tect Mir. Moreno until the frontier was crossed.
 If an artist had been present at that moment. he could have secured material for a striking picture of the gallant general blocking the doorway against the dons and the smiling encourage ment of his friends, who were quite handy and req ly to protect him If any attempt had been made to touch the Minister. The picture might have been completed by reproduction of the grinning features of James, delighted at the prospect of a brush with the Spaniards General Woodford whis- pered to the correspondent, who after ward drew the Spaniards into a cor ner and explained to them the serious nature of their action. pointing out that it might lead to complications with Great Britain. This argument prevail ed. and the troublesome visitors with. drew When the train reached San Sc bastian MT. Moreno and General Wood ford felt considerably relieved.

SPAIN MAY
 HEED ADVICE
Still a Chance That There Will Be No Privateer-
 ing.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, April PA Washing ton special 70 the Herald says:
 The President remains commenda- ply pacific to the utmost limit" said a prominent diplomat to me tonight. "Evol in beginning the war he only inaugurates blockade and hesitates to fire the first shot. As commendable as this is in view of the great pressure brought to bear upon him, it must be particularly irritating to Spain. It is treating her just as the powers treated Greece last year in blockading Crete And it would not be surprising if in- dignation did not force the Spaniards to bring on actual hostilities either by attacking our fleet with the small boats In Cuban harbors or in forcing an en- Fage:lent with their fleet now supposed to be headed westward"
 This may be taken as the typical view of diplomatiSts ir Washington All Of the members of the diplomatic corps with whom I have talked seem to ex- pect nothing further than strict neu- trality on the part of their respective Governments. The idea of underhand assistance for Spain they wholly dis credit, except such private aid as may come from those interested in SpS nish securities.
 There will not be any necessity for presentations or neutrality, altnOuRh they may be given out None was is- sued at the outbreak of hostilities last spring in Thessaly. Once diplomatic relations between two countries are severed and war is declared, neutrality and the granting of rights of belliger- ency follow as a matter of course.
 The most positive part to be taken by foreign powers in trouble may result in Spains refusal to abide by the treaty of Paris in regard to privateering. It is thought that the positive position taken by the great powers against 1t, and the loss of sympathy if she persists in ignoring the treaty, will finally cause Spain to give the treaty reluctant recognition. The knowledge that British sympathy and sentiment are already against her and that British commerce will be most injured if privateering prevails, may induce the Spanish Government to fol- low this old-time chief resource of Spanish naval warfare
