1t would be a strange thing in
human experience, if the separa-
ton Of English speaking people
that occurred 100 years ago,
through the mlsgovcrnment OF
the rulers of Great Britain, should
today through the efforts and
friendships Of the same MARION
agam be united on a basis Of last
ing brotherhood. And if such a
thing did occur, what It benilit II
would be to the whole world, pro.
badly the best guarantee Of world,
wide peace and universal progress
Of prosperity Of the human race,
that could be devised by human
wisdom. Such Il state of affairs
would well nigh be AKIN To the
millennium, hoped for for years,
but which always has seemed i'm
possible, because of the warrin!
tendencies Of men. But, if The
Enghsh.spcakng peoples unite TO
the common good, the rest of th'
world wlll bavc to he on its gooc
behavior. and for that reason, i
is to DO hoped that Il formal olli
ance between England and th'

ALL DOUBTS NOW AT REST
The Department Receives Positive Infor-
nation That CUrvera II Bottled
Up Santiago Harbor

Washington, May 2S.--The
navy department received infor-
nation today which for the first
time relieved the officials OF the
anxiety and doubt they have felt
for the last few days and satisfied
them on two vital points--frst,
that the American fleet under
Commodore Schlcy was outside of
Santiago harbor, and second, that
Admiral Ccryera's Spanish feet
Was inside that harbor. This in
formation come from private sour
ccS which the naval officials regard

department the first information
almost Il week ago, that the Span

afternoon and III his absence no

Relying on the adgiccs received
the naval officials feel that the en-
tire military ;ituation IS simplihed.
With the Spanlards inside and the
Americans outside of Santiago
harbor, il Is said that the powers
Of mischief by the Spanish fleet
are at an end, All Schley needs,
it is pointed out, Is II small force
to watch the entrance of Santiago
barbor. Two battle ships and
two cruisers would be ample for
this service, as such force would
largely oyermatch the -Four armor-
ed cruisers IN the Spanish squad
ron. In calculating upon keeping
the Spaniards Ecnned up in this
fashion, officials have taken into
account the possibility Of the dis

|, The consllmatipn of Il deal, in which
some Oi the eX- members of the Harlan 4
IiolIngsworth Company and the Edge
moor Iron Works will build shipyard
adjoining the works at Edgemoor, is eX-
pccted in very short time.
The Edgcmoor Company iS unwilling
to sell its land to Il syndicate but is said
to be willing to consolidate its works
with -hipy ard and having all the facil.
tiles necessary Tor making the machinery
needed by shipbui!drrs would very read
lily accept the offer made by said syndi-
cate to consolidate.
The officials OF The Edgcmoor Company
are silent. When questioned in regard
to the matter they would not speak for
publication. Neither would they deny
that the deal was under consideration.
1t is one of the best sites along the
Delaware for a shipyal,l, as it is on the
river front and would take very little
work to put the grounds owned by them
in condition for work, and as soon as
the deal is conslllnated, it will take very
little time before the yard could be in
readiness to repair and build any ships
wanted.
The water is very deep off that place
and the largest ships could be built
there. The combination Of such a
company and syndicate would prove
invaluable to this city and would mater
tally Change the status OF ship building
along the Christiana and Delaware as
easy as at Philadelphia.
The p W. q B. railroad runs a train

it convenient for the employees, who re-
