the official adviccs received by mail AT
the state and Navy Departments yester-
day threw no light on the cause OF the
explosion. The one dispatch received
from Capt Sampson relative TO the thor

forty guerrillas left fort on n farm

this city. "As was their CUSTOM to dine
at a neighboring place. During the alb

tween Germany, Russia and France,
Russia, this time, being the prime NOV
er for intervention in the Hispano-
American war.
Upwards of q fortnight ago Russia
approached France with this object in
view, and direct communication was
opened between the car and Count
Muraveff, the Russian minister for for
eign affairs on one side, and President
Faure and M. HanOtauX, the French
minister for foreign affairs on the
other.
Although France, at the outbreak of
the war, was most anxious to bring
about intervention, it is now positively
said, Notwithstanding the fact that
Russia gave assurances that she would
back up any new attempt, that France
has fatty refused to participate in re-
newal So greatly at variance with
Frances former attitude was this, that
Senior Leon y Castillo, the Spanish am
bassador to France, went to Madrid
and direct negotiations between Spain
and France were opened. Senior Castillo
has now returned to Paris, bearing for
NAL and specific offers of the exchange
of a definite understanding between
the two powers in regard to the war.
The main feature of the Spanish offer
is the cession to France of number of
coal depots, which would be of i'm
menSe service to France in the event
of a naval war in the Mediterranean.
1t appears, however, most doubtful
whether France will accept this offer,
as the French government has about
concluded that the preservation of the
friendship of the United States is more
important than improving the relations

Raron Won Below on Wednesday last,
and fully indorsed' the latters attitude.
The German government acutely feels
the anomalous position which has been
created by the fact that, while the gov
eminent and the inspired press earnest
ly desire an unbroken continuance of
the friendship of the United States,
80 per cent of the newspapers and
the people persist in ventilating their
spleen against the government and the
people of America.
GERMANS DISPLEASED.
The news Of the conclusion of the
FrancO-American reciprocity treaty
displeases Germany. The Tageblatt
comments on 1t as follows: THE main
fact is that France has obtained con-
cessions from the United States, while
we are still in the midst of the sugar
war there. That we will be pleased
with this nobody expects, but it is
doubtful whether the present moment
would be well chosen for the resump-
ton of negotiations which appear to
be dead-locked. America, we are sorry
to say, is very stubborn with US, well
knowing that we cannot do without
such American products as petroleum"
German exporters, it is announced,
will shortly memorabilia the govern
new F'ranco-American treaty.
Emperor William has finally set Oct.
1S, next, the birthday of the late EN-
peror Frederick, for the conservation
of the German Church OF the Redeemer
in Jerusalem. Sir Tischendorf, the
German consul at Jerusalem, who has
just arrived here from that place, has
been given an audience by the en-
peror. He brought the unwelcome in
telligence that the sultan of Turkey
had secretly reScinded the cession Of
the Coenaculum, which he had prom
Used to Emperor William for the use
of German Catholics.
This action of the sultan Is said to
have been due to the strenuous objec-
ton of the Russian orthodox population
of Palestine, backed up by the Rus
sian ambassador at Constantinople.
NEW GERMAN PARTY.
A new political party, styled National
Socialists, which has been formed
throughout Germany, is making great
efforts to insure it's success in the com
ing elections. The party IS strongly
nationaEstic with tendencies towards
all kinds of social reforms and greater
liberties. Many prominent persons
have joined their ranks.
The Prussian government will short
ton be conferred on 'Monarchic" labor
ers and their people who have shown
their loyal convictions for thirty years
or upwards. The government and the
emperor believe that this action will
tend to check the inroads of socialism
among the working people.
Emperor William has pardoned DR..
REFUSING, who killed his colleague, DR..
Fischer, in a duel at Bonn, after, as
alleged, seducing DR.. Fischer's wife.
Prof. Stoerck of the Greifswald uni
versity, in an article in the Deutsche
Revu, high-class monthly, under the
caption American International
Rights" says: America has no right
to Interfere in Cuba" and, continuing,
he says he regards the Monroe doctrine
''as dangerous to the whole world" The
| professor then says: "a country where
lynch law survives is sufficient to play
