Opposed to Federation.

A dispatch from St. Louis says: That
Chief Arthur still retains his grip on
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin-
GERS was clearly shown to-day when that
body, by vote of 290 to 2O5, refused to
adopt the federation clause. 1t re-
quired a two-thirds vote to carry the
resolution. Since the convention was
opened there has been but little dis
cussed except the question of fedora
ton The clause before the meeting
provided for the merging of the broth
erhood with the other train labor or
ganiZations.
Much interest in this matter has been
felt by railroad men in this vicinity.
This action of the engineers places
them practically in the same position
as that occupied by the Independent
Order of Railway Conductors and has
an important bearing on the labor
question.

ANGL0-JAPANEsE ALLIANCE.
England's Friendly Advances Said to

EnglandS Erlemuly advances Saiu 10
Have Attained Tangible Result.
London, May 23.-The Vienna CORE
spondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
Confirmation is given in well inform
ed quarters in Vienna to the rumor
that friendly advances made by Eng
land to Japan have already attained
tangible result 1t is believed that an
Anglo-Japanese understanding has
been reached which not only compre-
hends all eventualities which can oc-
cur in the East, but also contemplates
all the consequences that might result
in the course of the Hispano-American
war. The understanding establishes a
sort of Asiatic balance of power"
The Times this morning dismisses a
premature rumor to which the Paris
Figaro gives credence that an Anglo
French agreement has been signed with
France with reference to West African
complications, but it says an agreement
is near.

WITH WILD ENTH USTASM.
Welcome in Spain to Captain who Al
leges to Have Run Blockade.

Madrid, May 22.-Captain Deschamps
of the Spanish auxiliary cruiser Mon
surrat, which arrived unexpectedly at
Corunna Friday evening from Glen
fugos, having escaped the American
blockading ships, reached Madrid this
afternoon. In spite of the exciting
state of siege immense crowds awaited
his coming in the approaches to the
railway station. The station, the pal
ace and other prominent places were
cordoned by police. The populace well
comes him with the widest enthusiasm
and the police surrounding the car
riage in which he rode was scarcely
able to restrain the crowd. Senior Puig-
cehver, minister Of finance, has sub
mitted to the chamber a bill Temporal
rily reducing the import duty on coal
to one peseta per ton. The conserva-
tive press criticises the measure as
calculated to injure the native coal
industry.

very well indeed. The secretary ex-
poets to return to Washington tonight

WHOLESALE CHANGE.
General Shake-Up in the Yale Fresh-

Because of the poor showing made
by the first freshman crew in the re-
gatta on Saturday, there will be a live
ly shake-up in the boat tomorrow. 1t
is stated that six men Of the second
boat will exchange places with that
number in the first. This change will
undergraduates, as many Of them were
of the opinion that the present make
up of the eight would be the same as
on the day Of the race. This change, it
it said has been contemplated for the
past two weeks, but was postponed un-
til after the regatta in order to give all
concerned a. fair trial.

TRANSVAAE FIRM,


London, May 23-The Pretoria corre-
spondent of the Times says 1.-The Star
publishes without the knowledge or ap-
proval of the government the text of
the reply of the South African republic
to Mr.. Chamberlain's dispatch. The
note justifies the Transvall's contention
that it cannot recognize any suzerainty
since the convention of 1884 and quotes
letter from Lord Derby written in
1884, which, it contends, shows that
Lord Derby intended to abandon the
suzerainty. The note reiterates the
charge that British officials counte-
nanced the Jamison raid, and reaff1rms
the claim of The Transvaaps right to
arbitration"

SENIOR CASTILLO OBSTINATE
WILL NOT ACCEPT FOREIGN PORT
FOLIO IN SPANISH CABINET,
He Sees That Spain Must be WOrsted in
the End ana That to Accept a Position
ut This Time is Politically Imprudent
Hints at Possible Alliances-PoIitic
ASPECTS of the q M uestfOn
Aspects of the Question.


London, May 23.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
"One point of interest in the recon-
struction of the cabinet lies in the OBJ
stinate refusal of Leon Y Castillo, the
Spanish ambassador to France, to ac-
cept the foreign secretaryship. Every
consideration has been brought to bear
in vain. His first reply to the premier S
request expressed the conviction that
the interests of Spain would be best
served by his remaining at Paris. Sc
nor Sagasta said that the ambassador
persisted in his refusal to become a
member of the cabinet.
II am enabled to state that the am
bassador's motive for refusal was the
following: Senor sagasta's cabinet is
by it's own formal declaration deter
mined to carry on the war with all pos
sible vigor, whereas Senior Leon Cas-
tillo is aware that Spains friends
among the powers, France in particu-
lar, are resolved to insist upon her SUI
ing for peace at the first favorable mo-
ment. France possesses a two-fold in
terest in having peace concluded
financial and political The former
would be severely damaged if Spain
were utterly ruined, and the latter
would suffer if the United States re-
tanned permanent occupancy of the
Philippines.
''The leading idea which actuates the
statesmen responsible for the political
scheme favored by Senor Castillo is
that as Spain must be worsted in the
long run it is advisable to save as
much as possible from destruction and
that the sooner peace is concluded, the
more tolerable will be the terms ac-
guessed in by the United States. The
most important of these terms, in the
eyes of Spain's friends and protectors
is the possession of the Philippines,
which can be utilized for further polit-
ical combinations later on.
ITO become a member OF war cab
met, therefore, at the very moment
when the friendly great powers are re-
solved to press upon Spain a speedy
peace appears imprudent to Senor Cas-
tillo, who is in possession of all the
threads of the negotiations. Senor Sa-
gasta's cabinet is certainly desirous of
regaining popularity with the country
by prosecuting the war to the bitter
end, but it is highly improbable that,
having heretofore implicitly followed
the advice of the continental powers, it
will refuse to accept counsels of peace
proffered under the promise of future
help and especially if the United States
valves all claims to the Philippines.
| Spains Importance as a political factor
| in the far East is now thoroughly un-
derstood and everything possible will
| be done to gain time and profit by it.
| Her position in the Mediterranean as a
power, her influence in Morocco, her
Well disciplined sea forces and above
| all, her Philippines, constitutes the po-
| litical aspect of the question.

SENATOR M4soN,s HousE RoBB Ed
$4,000 Worth of Jewelry Taken Offers
to Buy Gifts Back.

Washington, May 22.--Last night the
residence of Senator William Mason Of
Illinois, this city, was entered by burg
lars and jewelry to the value of $4,000
was stolen. Not a clue to either the
burglars or the jewelry has been OBJ
tained. This evening Senator Mason
issued to the burglars a characteristic
appeal which he hopes will be needed.
1t is as follows:
To the gentlemen who robbed my house
last night: I will pay in cash more than
any one else for the watch and pin you
took last night and give you my word of
honor that YOU shall not be prosecuted for
the taking of them. The pin has portrait
of my little son who died years ago and
it was, as was also the watch, a present
to me. You can communicate with me by
mail or in person and you can rely abso-
lutely on my promise not to prosecute.

THREAT TO CUT C4BLE,
That of Spanish Government is Received
With Amusement.

Washington, May 22.-The report
from Madrid that the officials there
threaten to cut the cable from Gal
velton if our ships isolate Blanco by
cutting the cables at Santiago, are re-
ceived with much amusement by off,
cials familiar with cable routes. The
cable from Galveston runs to Vera
Cruz and other Mexican ports. 1t is so
far west that the Spanish admiral
could not reach it without phenomi-
nal run and if he succeeded in cutting
it there would be no strategic advan-
tage against the United States, as the
line is rarely used for government bus
mess.

AN OFFICIAL DENIAL OF THE SEN.
SATIONAL REPORT.

Navy Department Issues the Following
Bulletin. "No Tru tn In the Published
Statement Concerning an Engagement
Ofst. Nicholas Mole, Hnytf, In Which
Twelve Spanish Vessels Were sunk.o
Washington, May 22.-The rumors of
a great naval battle, current last night,
were disposed Of by the navy depart
ment early to-day in the following Off
cial bulletin:
No truth in the published statement con-
cerning the enga cement off St.Nicholas Mole,
TIayti, in which twelve Spanish vessels
were sunk.
This was posted not only for general
information, but also to quiet the alarm
among relatives and friends of those on
board the American ships. AS rule
the department adopts the custom of
stating that no official information has
been received, but to make assurance
doubly sure in this case the department
declared that there was mo truth in
the reports. This indicates that the
official information is such as to war
rant the statement that the American
and Spanish squadrons have not met.
The bureau of navigation, navy de-
partment, where official dispatches are
ceived, was open throughout the day,
but the officials were engaged on rou-
tine work and there was no evidence Of
that activity which would attend the
receipt of important information nor of
that expectancy which would indicate
the near approach of the two fleets. In
the absence of exact information as to
the location of the fleets this serenity
in naval circles was a fair indication
that the official advices did not give
promise of an immediate engagement.
1t is evidently the view of the war
board that an engagement, if it can be
brought on, will be decisive of the
whole war.

HELP OF THE INSURGENTS
DOUBTFUL 1T Any LARGE N UMBER
WILL FIGHT FOR AMERICANS.

Madrid Correspondent-Seno Castillo
ON Returning to Paris, VIII, 1T Is Al
legged, Continue Negotiations with a
Cuban Representative for Submission
of Insurgents-New Spanish Cabinet
Still Asserts That 1t WIN Prosecute
War With Utmost Energy to the End.
London, May 23.-The Madrid corre-
the situation in Cuba, says: whether
any large number of insurgents will
ever fight for the Americans is consid-
cred extremely doubtful, but despite
Spain's hopes it is equally doubtful
whether General Gomez and the other
influential insurgent leaders will boldly
declare against annexation by America.
All that can be said with certainty is
that the cabinet at Washington has not
found and cannot count upon the eff
cient assistance from the insurgents
which it evidently expected when it
rushed into the war without having an
army of occupation ready.
"Since the ministry has been recon-
structed publicity and prominence are
being given by leading organs to cer-
tain movements of troops, which seems
to indicate an intention to warn all
whom it may concern that Spain is
ready to resist any unjustifiable scheme
of aggression from whatever quarter it
may come. These movements have
reference to the idea that Spain may
be helpful to powers in the event of
| any combination against an Anglo Sax
on alliance"
| Senor Leon y Castillo, the Spanish
| ambassador to France who was recent
ly offered the portfolio of minister for
| foreign affairs, had a long conference
to-day with the premier, Senior Sagasta
| Absolute reticence is observed as to the
| matters discussed. Senior Castillo, 1t is
| understood, will, on returning to Paris,
| which he is expected to do shortly, con-
| tinue his negotiations with Senor Ban
| cocas, the Cuban representative, for the
| submission of the insurgents.
| Madrid, May 22-6 p. m.-Senor Cap
depon, minister Of the interior, has de-
MED in the course of an interview that
the change in the constitution of the
ministry would involve any alteration
| in the foreign policy of Spain, all the
new ministers being in favor Of prose-
cutting the war with the utmost energy
to the, end. Spain" said Senior Capde-
pom, went perilously near sacrificing
her honor in the interest of peace, only
making a stand when further conces-
sions would have involved her disgrace
and effacement as a nation. This she
will never do, and in this resolve the
new cabinet is as thoroughly determin-
ed as the old. The new cabinet enter
tains no illusions 1t is aware that
weakness and poverty are opposed to
strength and wealth, but Spain Is in the
position of a duellist to defend her hon.
or against the gross insults Of more
| powerful antagonist, who, although
! convinced that the result is almost GER
tain death, yet feels the force Of the
principle of noblesse oblige. Spain pre-
fers a possible defeat to certain dis
grace. Ministers know that the SYM
| pathies of the powers are with Spain,
and hope they will soon intervene

WOULD USE LlQUEFIED AIR.
Its Refrigerating Properties Valuable in
Fighting Yellow Fever.

The menace to the United States troops
at Santiago from the appearance OF yellow
fever has directed attention to liqul1en
air MS possible agent of great value IN
combating the disease, the germs Vi
which lose their vitality in Temperature
below the freezing point, says the For',
land Times 1t has been demonstrated
that almost any temperature ,aeslreo 10,
low zero may be created by the use u
liquitied air.
Charles e. Tripler, whose experiments
with this new agent and their remarkable
results have been made known by recent
publications, said last evening that, not
being musician, he could not speak
with authority as to the practical value
of liauefied air in the treatment OF yellow
fever patients. He said, however, that
he believed it's use would prove to be most
beneficial in land hospitals, hospital ships,
transports, and mea-ofwar-in the lat
ter two to relieve the men from the de-
pressing and facilitating effects Of the
great heat, and in hospitals as protec-
ton for physicians and attendants again
attack by the fever and as a curative
agent for the patients.
In reply to the expressed fear that
liquified air might prove refractory or
dangerous, Mr.. Tripler said last even
ing: "Liquided air is perfectly harmless,
except in contact or in combination with
explosives. I have just come from my
laboratory, where have been handling
quantities of it with my bare hands, and
you see they are all right. My fingers
Jingle little, and that is all the effect
feel.
ST would not go into yellow fever
district for 900 a month in ordinary
times, but were called upon now by
the Government 1 would go as a matter
of duty. would set up plant in Cuba
in few days and at a cost of not more
than S., OOO-a mere tritie TO the Govern
ment. That sum would pay for COM
pressor, a liquifier, and everything else
required to equip room large enough to
accommodate 100 patients. The cost OF
as only firswood and two engineers
would DO required IN auulGioH W soiue
one with knowledge of the liquid to
manage it. And that could be acquired
in a short time by any intelligent man.
"My plan would be to construct room
well insulated to keep the heat out. Then
through pipes, would force the liquid
air into the room, where it would evapor-
ate and produce any degree OF tempera-
ture desired. believe tha5 anyone can
go into yellow fever room with i'm
punity where the liquid air is used; hence
there will be no need of immune doctors
and attendants Liquid air has not yet
been used in medicine, but its possibili-
ties seem to me to be very great. -
