The Associated Press, under date Of June
3, gives the following detail story Of the
sinking Of the collier Merrimac in the chan
mel OF Santiago harbor:
The narrow channel leading into the har
Dor was completely blocked early this morn
ing when the United States collier Merrimac
was sunk across the entrance, 1t is now i'm
possible for the Spaniards TO get out, and 1t
Is equally impossible for any vessel to get
into the harbor. Therefore, the Spanish
frat class srmored cruisers Maria Teresa,
Cristobal Colon. Yizcaya and Almirante
Oquendo, with the Two torpedo boat de-
stroyers, Furor aud Pluton. are no longer
Of any use TO Spain. This result was &C.
complshed through the hcroism Of Lieut.
Richmond p. Hobson, assistant naval con.
structor, and Daniel Montague, George
Charette, J. G. Murphy, Oscar Deignan,
John r. Phillips, John Kelly and II. Clau-
sen. The latter, u coxswain Of the New
York, took part In the expedition against
orders. They were all captured by the
Spaniards; but the Spanish admiral in rec
ignition OF their bravery scot word TO the
American admiral, under an flag OF truce,

THE WAR AND BUSINESS.

1t Is very gratifying TO observe that the
gloomy predictions OF the effect of this wal
upon business have by no means been real
lied. Bank clearings last week were more
than 80 per cent. larger than for the cores
ponding week of last year, and nearly 10
per ceit larger than for the corresponding
week of 1892, which was year of great
business activity. The governments ex
penditures for the war preparations do moi
account for this great increase.
The price of stocks and securities have
been very strong since the war began, and
average now about two points lower than
the high level they reached before the de-
struction oil the Maine. an event which II
was at once believed made war imminent.
Since the victory at Manila there has
been steady decline In rates of interest
Up to that time banks held their money
very close and loans could be negoti tied
only at very heavy rates. Last week there
was decline of I per cent. in interest, and
the money market was very easy. call loans
In New York ruling from II to per cent,
time loans from to 4, and first class com
merclal paper from Al to per cent.
The New York banks have gained In
funds very heavily Of late. They added week
before last $7,OO0,OO0 TO their lawful money
reserves, S,17s,O 900 to their surplus reserve,
and loans of $7,S57,OO0
Reports of business generally are good,
and on all sides there Is sense of agreeable
surprise that the war has not interfered with
trade as il was feared II would.

DIR BEST ALLIES.

In his Grafton at Indianapolis on Decora
ton Day, Mr.. Howe said;
ain all the talk about an Anglo Saxon
alliance, let Us not forget that the sons OF
the men who bore these flags 1.-THE Confed-
crate nags) are Americans; that they are
our brothers and nearer and dearer to us
now than all other Anglo SaxoDs"
This is a very timely and statesmanlike
remark. A complete union of the North
and the South In patriotic sentiment and
purpose is worth more TO this country than
any foreign alliance possibly could be. That
union has been coming ever since the last
shot oi the civil war was fired, and it is now
consummaled. The North and the South
are now together as they have not been at
any time 10 the past hall century. Sec
tionalism is dead; common and exultant
patriotism lives in the hearts OF the people
Our flag and our country Is the watchword
of ALL

AN INTERESTED WOMAN.

There Is probably not in the whole coun-
try a woman who has more at stake In this
war than Mrs Robly d. Evans, wife of the
famous captain of the battleship Iowa. No
less than six members of her family are in
the service of the country. There Is her
husband on the Iowa, her brother captain
on the Indiana. her son is lieutenant on
the Massachusetts,, her son.in-law lieuten
ant on the New York, and her two daugh
tiers have volunteered and been accepted as
nurses.
Napoleon said that the noblest woman in
France was she who had most sons In
Frances army. Mrs. Evans cannot claim
such a title to American nobility, but there
is probably not another woman in the land
who has so many OF those who are near and
dear to her doing service in the war
We hope they will go back to the brave
little woman safe and covered with honors.

From the crowded decks of the New

after she had got under the shadow of the
hills. For half an hour officers and men
strained their eyes peering into the gloom
when, suddenly, the flash of gun streamed
out from Moro Castle, and then all or
board the New York knew the MerrimaC
was nearing her end. The guns from the
Spanish battery opposite Moro Castle an

ZOLA'S TRIAL.

New York, Feb, lS.-A Paris dispatch
to the World says;
Wives Guilot, former minister OF JUS
hce and the chief pubGcst on the side
Of Dreyius, says;
There is good prospect of Zola's
acquittal il a majority OF the jury is not
terrorized by the crowd. According to
the French law, il six be for aud six be
against, acQuittal follows. So far there
is no indication of the jury's bent, be-
cause under the French law, ii a jury ex-
hibits prematurely their belief, the YER
dict is annulled. This is the dilemma
now evident in the affair OF Dreyfus.
Either Dreyius has been condemned on
the Borderau not written by him or con-
demed on secret document in which
case the court-martial's verdict is null. y
NJ. la Borie, Zola's counsel, who was
seen after the court adjourned, said;
1.-TWO things are now clearly estab-
lished; one is that the good side OF
Dreyfus has been proved; the other is
the negative fact that Dreyfus did not
write the Borderau and the private fact
that Esterhazy, A division is probable
but if the court quashes the origina

NOT A TORPEDO.

Washington, Feb. IS. The opinion Of
one Of the leading experts in the use OF
high explosives, Professor Agler, OF the
ordnance bureau, as to the cause Of the
explosion, is as follows
"As 10 the question Of the cause OF the
Maine explosion, we know that no tor
pedo such as is known to modern war
fare can Of itself cause an explosion OF
the character Of that on board the
Maine. We know Of 20 instances where
the eIl iosion Of a torpedo or a mine un-
der ships bottom has exploded the
magazine within. 1t has simply torn a
great hole in the ships bottom, through
which the water entered aud having
which the ship sank. A magazine ex-
plosion, on the contrary, produces et-
tecls exactly similar TO the effects OF the
explosion on board the Maine.
"When il comes TO seeking the cause
Of the explosion OF the Names maya
zine, We should naturally look not for
improbable or unusual causes, but those
against which We have had to guard in
the past The most common of these is
through fire in the bunkers, Many OF
our ships have been in danger at various
times from this cause, and not long ago a
fire in the Cincinnati's bunkers actually
set fire 10 the fittings, wooden boxes, etc
within the magazine; and, had it not
been discovered at the time it was, it
would doubtless have resulted in a ca
tAstrophe ON board that ship simili to
the one on the Maine.
81 shall again emphasize the fact that
no torpedo exploded without the ship
has ever produced, or, according TO our
knowledge, can produce, an explosion OF
the magazine within

London, Feb. ls.-George Curzon,
parliamentary secretary Of the foreign
Office m the house Of commons answering
a qaesiion as to whether the rights aud
obligations respecting Alaska under all
the then existing treaties had been
transferred when the L. S. purchased the
country, said the only articles OF the
Anglo-Russian treaty Of 1927 regarding
the geographical limits were recited 10
the Russo-American treaty under which
Alaska was ceded. Articles 2G Of the
treaty OF Washington OF 1871, Mr.
Curzon said. provided that the nayiga-
ton OF the Yukon, Porcupine and Site
keen rivers was 10 be free and open TO
the commerce OF British subjects and
American citizens, subject 10 the laws
and regulations Of either country within
it's own territory and not inconsistent
with the free navigation.
Inquiries, he continued, have been
made by the British Ambassador as to
what regulations were best applicable to
the navigation OF the Stickeen river.
Mr.. Dayitt asked whether the fact Of
the contemplated supervision referred
to was in consequence OF threats, made
by Canada to legislate against America
in the Yukon territory. Mr.. Curzon an
swered:
Il have heard nothing to that effect.
