The Absurd Proclamation of the Governor

LONDON, April 29.-The Hong Kong
correspondent of the Daily Mail, tele-

There is no news from Manila or as
to the whereabouts of the American

interests in Philippines, and the Es-
meralda also sailed for the Philip.
pines, both without cargo and pre-
sumably to bring away more passcn-
gers. Large sums are being paid by
people anxious to leave Manila.
The strictly neutral attitude hith-
erto observed by the public toward the
Hispano-American dispute has been
changed by the absurd proclamation
of the governor of the Philippines, and
public opinion is now favorable to the
United States.
The China Mail says the proclama-
ton will go far 10 ALLEVIATE the last
vestiges of sympathy for the Span
iards," and the Daily Press says En-
glish sympathy is naturally on the side
of America.

railway to the injury of horse on the
street is held, in Trenton Pass. R. Co.
versus Cooper On. j. 3s L. r. A. 637, to
be presumptive proof of negligence in
the operation of the railway.

L. r. A. 63s, to be beyond the power of
court to interfere with at the suit of a
resident stockholder, although the Wis

A unanimous decision within the

FOR MAKING OBSERVATIONS.
a Large Captive Balloon to be Introduced
into Our Coast Defense and
Naval Service.

CHICAGO, April 29.-Capt. VIM. J.
Lloyd, assistant superintendent of the
Western Union Telegraph Co., and
commander of the signal troops of the
Illinois national guard, acting under a
commission from Gen. A. w. Greedy, OF
the United States signal service, to as
sist in the work of equipping a
large captive balloon to be used
by the navy department in fol-
lowing the movements of the
Spanish war ships, has succeeded in
securing a generator capable of pro-
ducing from 100000 to 100000 cubic
feet of gas every "a hours and reser-
voir which is made expressly for the
purpose of holding the acid necessary
for the formation of gas.
The generator is the only one of it's
kind in the United States, and will be
shipped to the navy yard at Governors
Island next Monday. The generator
has been constructed by forces of men
working day and night for a week.
The work is being inspected by Silas
II. Mosher, chief engineer of the West.
ern Union building. Engineer Mosher
will go to Governors island to opera te
the aerial ship. Mr.. Mosher served in
the navy during the civil war and is an
expert in the use of gas machinery.
Capt. Lloyd has sent telegram to
Gen. Greedy rendering the services of
his corps in the war with Spain, either
individually or collectively.
Lieut. J. F. Maxwell, of the signal
corps, will probably have direct charge
of the balloon service. The balloon
used in connection with the generator
will rise to the height of $500 feet,
and be held by wire cable, which will
also be used for telegraphing. With
powerful glasses on a clear day it is
said that it will be possible to sean the
horizon from the balloon a distance
so to 60 miles, and should a cruiser
making 1s or 20 knots an hour be
sighted the information can be tele-
graphed down from the balloon in am
pie time to make all necessary prepare
tions for an attack.

Boston, April 27.-There are many
valuable vessels and cargoes scattered
over the oceans at the present time
which are destined for New England,
or which are owned in New England,
any one of which may fall into Span

Spain. Among these are i2 barks, II

Spain Claims that the Blockade of Cuban
Coast is Contrary to Inter
national Law.

MADRID, April 29.-In the senate yes
;erday Gen. Donoso eulogized the cap
tain of the transport Montserrat for
running the blockade.
Admiral Bermejo, minister of ma

great injury to neutrals. He hoped
that neutral powers would act lin be-
half of their own interests" and urged
the government to issue circular note
to the powers explaining the situa-
ton.

THE FRENCH ARSENAL BUSY
Extraordinary Naval and Military Activity
Throughout France Causing
Comment.

PARIS, April 5o.-The Aurore an.
nounces to-day that extraordinary
activity prevails in naval and military
circles throughout France. At Brest
there is much comment on the
fact that work at the arsenal
continues until a late hour every night,
and the workmen are employed all day
Sundays. Large orders for war ma
terials of all sorts have been placed,
and all the coast batteries have been
supplied with provisions and munitions
sufficient for several months.
It is also annou need that fresh bat
terles have been erected at Ushant,
that all the French warships recently
modified are kept in fighting trim,
and ready for sea at a moments notice,
and that the reserves have been noti
fled to expect call for active service.
