when it rains (Which is almost half

the White Nile and the Sobat r syers.
at Sobat, the purpose OF the expedition.
1T will readily be seen, is to cut OF the
French from reaching F,ashoda, which
is only short distance north of Sobat.
While Mr.. Cavendish is personally de-
fraying the cost of the expedition. it Is
known that he has been In FREQ ue1:t COM
munication with the Marquis Of Sails
bury through the Duke of Devosshire,
so it is safe to say the expedition is
under government auspices.
The news from Christianfa ON Friday
hast that the committee appointed to
draw up proposals for the better regula-
ton of the relations between Norway
and Sweden has been unable to reach
an agreement, indicates that the ten
sion between Sweden and Norway is
fast approaching the swapping point
and it is stated that on tine frontier
the arming Of both parties is rapidly
progressing, both sides preparing for
war.
The health of King Humbert, OF Italy,
is again causing uneasiness, the faint
ing fits having required.
The Correro, organ Of the Carlists,
discussing the visit of the United States
battleship Maine to Havana, expresses
the belief that the Spanish public is
justifably alarmed, adding:
GAS a fact, lit is the government itself
which is seriously alarmed, though
every effort is made to disguise it. In
spite of the official statement of Adr1i-
raj CervaraS. the admiral OF the fleet.
on last Tuesday, CAT q, conference with
the minister of marine, when he assert
| ed that the recent evolutionS had DEM
onstrated the perfect condition of the
| Spanish ffeeD, Admiral Cervaras in
reality reported that there was not a
ship ready for service, that the vessels
not actually in dry dock ought to be
. there; that many of the boilers were
defective and that some ships We're not
tyet armed and that some of the vessels
require cleaning. In view of the per-
| fdity of the United States it is not sur
prising that such neglect and helpless
ness creates alarm"
| According to the same paper, great
Importance is attached to the confer
ence between NJ. Patenotre. the French
minister to Spain. and Senior Gullon,
the Spanish minister of foreign affairs.
| who. it is said, discussed the action of
the Unified States las it is we'll known
that there is great alarm in France at
the course of events" The fact that
NJ. Patenotre is intimately conversant
with the United States affairs lends
additional Importance to the matter.

plan to reduce the acreage OF the cot

If their efforts are successful it will
mean practically the formation of an

The plan proposed is to organize the

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-No officia

to confirm the reported intention of the
Spanish government TO send a feet of
W2rshfps to Havana. The Spanish le-
cation was informed some time ago
that small gunboalts now engaged in
patro!ing the Cuban coast would be
strengthened soon by the addition of
2 a number of torpedo boats, and it is
this Hatilia that is expected to sail for
Z Havana as soon as conditions permit.
4 The boats are said to be wanted pa4rtic-
5n3arly for service on the Canto river
= aud in Havana harbor. The coming of
the fine cruiser Cristobal Colon, one OF
the best ships in the Spanish navy, with
the torpedo boats, is said to be neces-
sary to their safety, as these little
craft must have a convoy to come to
their relief in case of severe weather,
and to help out their coal supply. Even
with this Assistance. it is said the boats
will have a risky voyage.
& MADRID, Jan. 29.-It is announced
that the cruiser Vizcaya, which the
government has decided to send to the
United States, will not be commanded
by Captain Concas Pulan, but by Cap
tain Eubate.
This change in the command of the
Nizcaya is believed to be due to the
feeling produced by an address deliver
ed in 1896 before the Madrid Geogra phi
cal Society by Captain Cunos Pulan
+ who commanded the Cara val Santa Ma
ria, sent over by Spain to the Columbi-
an Exposition, giving his impression Of
