Commodore Schley reported to Samp
son that he considered the victory great
enough to furnish glory for all hands.
The latter does not seem to have recog-
nized the polite sarcasm of the remark.
Certainly his report does not show that he
did. According to Sampson. the only cred
it for the Third of July victory is due to
the elderly naval man who was not there
but wants the lions share of the head

should Surrender Manila.

(From the Pittsburg Dispatch)
If Spain wishes the arnistice she should sur
render Manila, instead OF leaving things in a
state whence she might gain some advantage
by the indefinite delays of negotiations On that
conceded, the knowledge that the fighting can go
on at the time with the negotiations may
incite Spain to promptitude in agreeing upon
the terms of peace.

FoxcRoFT TOWN MEETING.
Interest in Coming Municipal Contest Is
Naturally Great This Year.

Foyeroft, February 28.-Two weeks be-
fore town meeting and the slate is already
made up by which the municipal offices
in Foxcroft will be filled for the ensuing
wear. Interest in town affairs seems to
have been awakened by the recent de-
cision of the law court by which the town
must shoulder the enormous debt of
$1S5 200.
Heretofore but little interest in the ad-
ministration Of town affairs has been tax
en- by those men who had the largest
business interests. But now that the
time for good Judgment and business
management has come, everybody is
awake 1t is quite evident that man
will be put at the helm who had large
business interest in the town.
There is little doubt that VIM P Oakes,
who has served the town so ably for four
years, will again be chosen as chairman
of the board of selectnen. He is tho man
who is best capable of pulling the town
through the present crisis, being man
of sound Judgment and familiar with the
condition and needs of the town.
James Bathgate, John f. Arnold and
81. q. Pratt are each mentioned for sec.
ond selectnan, with j. g. Herring and
A, A. Adams candidates for the third
place.

GREAT BRITAIN PARAMOUNT.
English Affairs in China Discussed in
Parliament.

London, March lin the House of
Commons today Mr. George N. Curzon,
answering question, as to whether
Russia had occupied Deer Island, said
kussia was believed to be negotiating
with Oorea for coal depot at Deer
Island, where Japan already had similar
site; but MIR. Curzon added, nothing has
been heard of a Russian occupation OF the
island. Referring to Port Arthur Mr..
Curzon said no forts existed there now
and the government was not aware at any
Russian land forces were at that place.
Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett having
brought up the Chinese question and the
advance OF Russia, MIR. Curzon after some
debate.said that, "the British in China
were paramount but not exclusive" The
British nation he continued would not be
justified in regarding legitimate competi-
tors with jealousy but ought rather to
"use all ssetforts to keep In an age of COM
petition what was won in an age of
monopoly They could see that China
would be confronted by greater dangers
In the future than she had been in the
past. Great Britain's policy was to pre-
vent the disruption and to oppose the
alienation of Chinese territory, and it was
not likely that Great Britain would view
with satisfaction the attempts of others in
that direction.
Mr.. Curzon reviews the loan negotia-
UlOuB Ouu UAc SCAClOuo bAN teAA
selfish nature Of the British terms which
however had not prevented suspicious be-
ing aroused that had prevented the grant
ing of the loan. China, however, had as
sured Great Britain that she would not
ask a loan of any other power, and today
he (Curzon) had learned that tn, loan
would be negotiated through power
bank.
Mr.. Curzon then recapitulated the
valuable concession already cabled to the
United States which China had offered.
SO far as Russia was concerned her assur-
ance was that the port she had secured as
an outlet would be an open port. Great
Britain, he declared, had taken her stand
upon the treaty of Tien- -Tsin which en-
powered her to oppose the imposition OF
special tariffs by other powers at Chinese
ports and British government would never
consent to an abandonment Or curtail-
ment of treaty rights. The matter then
dropped and the House adjourned.

A CEMETERY SCANDAL.

London, March Truth today as a
sequel to the request made that its edi-
tor take steps to expose an alleged scandal
in relation to the sale Of the American
cemetery at Jerusalem by the American
Presbyterian board of foreign missions,
says: "The American missionaries and
the consul represented, the bodies were
recently exhumed and were removed,
but the action of Lord Salisbury in hav-
ing the pit in the English cemetery, in
which they were reburied, opened in or
der to receive the remains OF an English
officer. resulted in the ghastly discovery
that all the bodies had been taken up
and packed in small wooden boxes 80
that neither the body of the officer nor
any other body could be identified. Both
the sale of the cemetery and the removal
of the corpses appear to have been car
ried out in an extremely disgraceful
manner

Karditza, Macedonian workman named
Giorgii, has. been arrested. Karditza
and Giorgii, on Saturday last, attempted

by shooting him while driving with his
daughter, Princess Marc

declares that he acted at the instigation
of Karditza, the latter representing that
to kill the King would be an act of grand
courage and glorify them both. Giorgii's 8
courage oozed out at the last moment and
he was unable to hit the horses, upon
which everything depended.
A@bomb was found near the scene of at

and hoped to see some of the interior.
eGen. Blanco referred to visit he paid
to the United States when a young man
and could speak more English than he
can now, though, as he said, his greater
duency then was probably due to the op-
portunity he had of conversing with the
handsome American women. 10 sug-
gestion by Senator Proctor that he ought
to repeat his visit, Gen. Blanco smiling
ly replied that he feared he was too old
now.
Tho Captain General thanked the
Americans for calling and said he would
return Senator Proctor's visit on the re-
turn of the latter from the interior. Thus
ended pleasant interview.
