At the office of Harlan 4 Hollings-

ascertained that Naval Constructor
Tawressey, member of the Auxiliary
Cruisers Board, has recommended that
the government accept Howard Gould's
yacht Niagara, for scout boat.
Mr.. Gould offered to loan his yacht to
the government upon certain terms, in
which, it is said, clause was made,
that the vessel was not to be used for
heavy work.
The Niagara carries her own arma-
ment and it is not likely that additional
guns will be put on the vessel. Should
the government accept the boat, she will
be used exclusively to hunt up the
enemy. She is expected to be ready for
use in about three weeks.

A declaration of neutrality in the
war now going on between the United
States and Spain has been issued in
Russia.
A Milan commercial paper estimates
that If the war between the United
States and Spain lasts one year. Italy
will lose half billion lire.
The Italian bread riots continue. At
San Angelo store was pillaged and
eight arrests were made. A crowd at
FOggie, set the tax Office on fire.
A wealthy Englishman has, it is
reported, offered to place his country
house at M. Zola's disposal for life If
he deems it advisable to prefer exile to
ingratitude.
A Madrid dispatch says the Spanish
sailors at Manila refused to desert
their sinking ships. The captain of
Reina Christina, the flagship, went
down with the vessel.
The Spanish cabinet has sent special
Instructions to Captain Blanco in con-
nection with the capture of the Spanish
steamer Argonata by Americans. He
has been told to never henceforth send
troops on coasting vessels.
A dispatch from Constantinople says:
Owing to the war between the United
States and Spain, and a scarcity OF
Russian wheat, grain dealers are refus-
ing credit to bakers, and the price of
bread is rapidly advancing. Bread riots
have been frequent in the city. The
present stock of flour will last less than
ten days.
A German official connected with the
foreign office states that German inter-
vention, even in an extreme case, is
not to be thought of. 1t would be pos
sible, he said, only certain compli-
cations in the East should arise. The
bitterness Of the German press against
America Is on the increase, but the
government is friendly.
Russia is beginning to honor her
Siberian explorers. A statue is to be

One can easily see why Englishmen
wish success to plans for the liberia
ton of Cuba. Their losses through the
devastation Of the island are only less
grievous than our own. Scores Of cot
ton and tobacco estates are owned or
mortgaged In England, and almost all
the money invested in the insular rail
ways came from London. It is with
English capital that public works were
undertaken in number of Cuban cities
between 1873 and 1894. No interest or
dividend will be forthcoming on any of
these securities until peace has been
restored In the island.
