DOES NOT WISH TO OFFEND.
England Is Cautious About Offering to
 Mediate for Peace.

London, June 15.-In the house of commons today A. J. Balfour, first lord of the treasury and government leader replying to a question as to whether, lin view of the condition of the popu- lation of Cuba and the sufferings and evils arising from the Spanish-Amer- ican war, her majesty's government or any of the European powers have any intention of intervening to secure a cessation of hostilities by inducing one or both belligerents to negotiate terms of peace," said:
 Her majesty's government will gladly take any favorable opportunity ties and negotiations for peace, but any action upon their part for this purpose can only be undertaken if there is reasonable prospect that it will be well received by both parties and of its be ing likely to lead to an agreement be- tween them.
 Unfortunately, there is not sufi- cient ground for believing this cOndi- ton exists"
 The St. James Gazette this after noon publishes long editorial point ing out the hopelessness of any further Spanish resistance, and suggests the Americans seek settlement of the Cuban question in Spain.
 It says: There is no need of an in vasion, but the mere presence of a strong armament, which the Spanish navy could not drive of, on the coast would produce tremendous enect, and there are numerous unfort1hed anchorages whele the Americans could recoal with leisure.
 "Of course, there are powers in Flu rope who would witness the operation with great disgust, but if the Ameri- cans are going to be frightened by the vague abstraction called Europe they must be very timid. Let them con- suit the sultan and remember that England is their Russia for the time being"

WORK FOR THE VESUVIUS.
Advocates of Dynamite Gun Want
 Cruiser Given a Test.

Washington, June 15.-The advo- eates of the dynamite gun as weapon of warfare are urging, the authorities here to bring the dynamite cruiser Ve- Suvius into more active service, where she can demonstrate her ability against the Notifications at Santiago and other points of attack.
 The VesuviuS has on board three sizes of dynamite prOjectiles, namely. those carrying 500 pounds of dynamite, POO pounds and 100 pounds.
 Another prcjectile carrying fifty pounds is available, but none is car ried by the Vesuvius at present. She was equipped with the heavier class of dynamite shells, as it was designed to give her real experience as a factor in warfare. The claims made for her have never been subjected to the prac- tical test of real war, but it was be- ieved that the present war would af- ford an opportunity for showing whether this mode of using dynamite was practical.
 This far. however, the Vesuvius has not figured in any of the actions in West Indian waters, nor have the re- ports from that quarter shown that she was among Che ships available for active work.
 The friends of the gun believe that one or two shells containing 500 pounds of dynamite each, landed in Morro castle, would make short work of the fortress. They say a single dynamite projectile would have more destructive effect than the broadside of an entire fleet. It is pointed out also that the elevation of the dyna- mite guns suits them for sending a dynamite shell high into the air and then dropping it, like a mortar ball, in the midst of the Notifications
 These views were called to the at tention of naval officials and the de- sire was expressed that the Vesuvius be given a chance to throw a few hundred pounds of dynamite into San tiago.
 Some naval officers think the Vesu- vius has not trained her guns upon Santiago thus far because of the feel ing of danger which attends the han ding of these guns. It is said that

Many persons are desperately
afraid of night air, and so shut them
selves into close rooms and breathe ar
atmosphere poisoned by human ex
lalations. 1t is well to avoid draughts
out night air, as Florence Nightingale
put it, is the only air we have at night
and it is much wholesomer pure than
impure.

M. Forel, in his excellent work on
ants, has pointed out that very young
ants devote themselves at first to the
care of the larvae and Pupae. and that
they take no share in the defense of the
nest or other out-of-door work until
they are some days old. This seems
natural, because their first skin is com
paratively soft; and it would not be well
for them to undertake rough work or
run into danger until their armor had
had time to harden.
The true meridian line of Suffolk
county. Mass, is indicated by three
granite posts, which are set on the
southerly part of the parade ground on
the Common. These posts are 200 feet
apart. The north and south line is in
dictated on the brass caps on the posts.
These were first set in 1870, and when
this spring the parade ground was filled
in brick Enclosures were built around
them so engineers can descend and
note the variations of their compasses.
1t has been discovered by DIR. Bruce
that the tsetse fly (Giossina morsitans),
so fatal in Africa to cattle, is yiviparous,
not laying eggs, but bringing forth liv-
ing, fully. grown maggOts. These larvae
shortly after being born transform into
pupae, the external laryal skin harden
ing and assuming an ovate shape, with
ears at one end. This discovery has
been authenticated, says Nature, by
Peringuey, who has bred from puparia
sent by the governor of Natal, which is
undoubtedly this fly.

man is from 10 to so ounces. In women
the weight is from A to 81 ounces. \
few men, including the great naturalist,

THE TOPEKA AT NEW YORK.

cruiser Topeka, formerly the DiOgenes,
commanded by Lieutenant j. ]. Knapp,
which sailed from Falmouth, England,
April 10, arrived safely in port at 8
o'clock this morning after rough pass
age of twelve days and proceeded TO the
man of war anchorage off Tompkinsville.
The cruisers deck is entirely bare of
guns, all her equipment being slowed
in the hold. Lieutenant Knapp reported
having experienced a rough passage but
the Topeka behaved well throughout
and sustained but trifing damage about
the decks. The cruiser carries a crew of
4G men all told. Lieutenant Knapp
when asked whether he had sighted any
war vessels during the voyage, replied
that he had not and was not anxions
to meet any owing to his small crew
and the fact that the Topeka's guns were
not mounted.

THE FLYING SQUADRON.
The Scorpion is to be the Dispatch Boat
Work of Laying Mines.

Old Point Comfort, Va, May Ion
board the flagship Brooklyn off Fort
Monroe. May day on the war ships of
the Flying Squadron found beautiful
weather and peaceful conditions at Old
Point, although about Hampton Roads
evidences were seen of warlike prepara-
tons. The work of laying mines and
torpedoes in the harbOr continued all day
in charge of the army engineer corps
acting under Col. Frank. 1t is certain
that plans have been made and laid for
his squadrOn's work, but no specific or
ders are here.
The squadron is in perfect and very
formidable readiness for sea and can
leave at an hours notice. The story
that the ram Katahdin is attached TO
the squadron is untrue. The converted
yacht now known as the Scorpion and
which is in command of Lieutenant Com
mander Mark. arrived at o'clock this
afternoon and anchored with the fleet
off Old Point. 1t is understood that
the Scorpion is to be the dispatch boat
of the squadron, but she is also equipped
for fighting.
Officers of the fleet believe that the
Scorpion is a splendid addition to the
squadron. She can make Is knots, is
protected by side armor and has a fine
battery of four five inch and four six
Founders. For torpedo destroying she
would be uneXcelled.

ANGLO-AMERICAN ALLIANCE.
The Interests of the Two Great Coun
tries Growing Closer.

London. Nav 1.-The Daily Chronicle
publishes this morning Mr.. Cecil Rhodes
view of Anglo-American relations. Mr..
Rhodes says:
I'm my opinion nothing is so vital to
the future of the British and American
people as n cordial understanding now
and n deeply rooted conviction of mu-
tual good will. From this, if future
events render it necessary, formal ALI
ance may be born. 1t is obvious that
if America brushes Spain from the out
set there will be an unthinlIing tendency
in England to sympathize with the little
boy thrashed by the big boy.
But what we must not forget is
Spanish atrocity in Cuba. America has
done in view of this atrOcity precisely
what Great Britain would have done if
it had occurred in an island close to the
British coast. In fact we should not
probably have been as patient as Amer
lea has been.
AT any rate the two peoples would
meet the same circumstances with the
same action. 1t is not for us to run
after America with offers of alliance.
Such a result, must of course, he n
meeting of the ways, but it seems to me
perfectly obvious that in any division of
world interests those of the British EN-
pire and America will he found together.
England and America need each other
and this need will grow Eapidly in the
fnturc"
