 IL is never wise to talk tco lightly of such a matter as war between Great Britain and France, but consid- ering the public opinion here that the Sidars gunb0ats are part of the long settled British Nile policy the situa- ton is decidedly piquant.

THE KIALIFA's GUNBoAT.

London. Sept. 1S.-A dispatch from Omdurman, dated September 3, says that one of ths Khalifa's gunboats re- turned to Omdurman from Fashoda, and, finding the Sirdar's troops occu- pylng the former place, surrendered at once.
 The officers of the gunboat report that the boat was sent to Fashoda a few days prior to the arrival Of the Anglo Egyptian troops at Omdurman III order to investigate the rumored oc- cupation of that place by Europeans. They found that the report was true. Fashoda being occupied by strong force of Europeans, who fired upon the gunboat and killed many Of those on board, wounding a number of others

BLANCO STOPS A PLAY.
Theatrical Attacks on inc President
 During War Stopped By Him.

Havana, Sept. 1S.-To appreciate the strength and violence Of the anti-Amer- ican sentiment of the Spaniards in Ha- vana during the war one must have seen is. Only Captain-General Blanco had the strength to publicly disapprove manifestations O. it. 4 notable case in point where this anti-sYankee-pig" sentiment was fostered and bred was in the Theater Alhambra, which is on Ccnsulado and Neptune streets. and a shcTt distance from the Grand hotel Inglaterra. The theater was c: the ''Bowery' type, and until the bsgin- ming Of the war was patronized by au- diences in thorough keeping with the tone of thc house. The manager, one Regino Lopez, whose life had been spcns a. the cigarmc Kers table, realiz- ed the violence of the Spanish feeling and threw himself into the tide which led to fortune. He found playwright who thought himself fully capable Of intensifyirg the feeling, which was all ready at fever heat, and had him write a play caricaturing everything Ameri- can. The production was on the med ley order, and many of the most prom inent men of the United States, includ- ing President Mckinley as tha central figure, were in the group of fools"
 The play was put on just after the bombardment Of Matanzas by the mes quito feet, which resulted in the kill ing of one mule in the streets of that city. This particular act was known IS HEl BCmbardec del Muio" In it the presidents head was on the body Of q mule, and he was surrounded by a whole barnyard of squeaking Yankee pigs" on the bodies of which wera the heads Of well known statesmen and generals of the United States. A dozen other scenes Of similar character made up the show.
 IL was. Of course, well advertised, and at once appealed to every Ameri- can hater. The result was that on the very first night standing room was at q premium, and Spanish army officers predomilated. From the standpoint of the Spaniard it was a great success, and fer thirty nights Manager Lopez enjoyed phenomenal patronage. The fame cf the Alhambra's s new attraction had reached every home in Havana. It was the topic on the streets, in the clubs, cafss. and affairs social.
 Even Captain-G Blanco was in duoed to see it. He could find no fault with any of the features if he looked at it as the audiences did, but to him it had Q wider and broader signifi- canoe. The evil which might result from it was carefully considered, and as a result he ordered it's discontinii- ance. This order caused Q storm, but Il was the mandate of the captain-gen- eral, "he who must be obeyed." Then came the signing Of the protocol and cessation Of war. Each succeeding day saw change of sentiment in favor of the Americans, and the Alhambra soon became a memory only. Its progres- sive manager recognized the fact that

ENGLAND'S NILE VICTORY.
ilifChener's Gunboats AsCendina inc
 White Nile.

1 LCndCn, Sept. 1S.-The news brought ] to OEdurman cn Friday morn
 in, reaching London today, that Fash
 oda had been occupied by European force has concentrated the keenest at ! tention on the Anglo-French relations
 on the upper Nile The question was bound to arise sooner or later and ap- parently it will :lsmand a settlement one way or the other in the very near future.
 It is practically certain that the Flu rOpeans in FaShcda ars Marchand' $ French expedition and they must have
 been there some little time to enable the report Of their presence to reach lOmdurman in time to permit the Kha- i lifa's sunboat to SC and return by Fri day.
 Captain Macdonald was still at Ugan- da on May 27 and could scarcely be eX- pected to arrive at Fasnoda within three months. Assuming then, as we must, that this force is Frsnch, it's inn

 A khartoum dispatch dated Septem- Der said that five gunboats had pro- !ceeded up the White Nile. The impor- tance Of this was immediately grasped here. It is generally assumed that the

 1 second Khartoum dispatch, on Sep tcmber ). said that four gunboats had proceeded up the White Nile, one pur- suing the Khalifa. One had returned
 and the others were again due at Khar-
 tcum. An Omdnrman dispatch Of Sep
 tsnber said that gunboat flotilla would 20 up the river as soon as pos .siDle.
 Despite certain amount of con-
 fusion, it is plain that enc or two gun
 boats are already Gn the way to Fash
 oda. and that the rest are hastening
 thither in view Of Fridays news. As Fashoda is nearly 4GG miles south Of
 khartoum and navigation is consider aOly hindered by the sud. or heavy floating vegetation, it must be some time before news from there will be available.

 significant that the SirGar has already ordered all correspondents to Cairo,

Issuance of Money Orders.


Issuance of Money Orders.
The number of money orders issued DUR
ing the year was 100000, of value of
$205 900 600. The number of money order
offices in the country was 2s,i2l. Over
1900 new offices We're established during
the year, and the number of orders in
creased 2,5o0.0oJ The value sof the orders
increased si70cO.OO
Probably three-fourths of the postal
orders made use of are issued at small
places and are drawn upon and paid al
the larger offices; one-fifth are paid at
the four largest offices. The field for ex-
tension of the system is-dimited 10 the
number of postoffices, only one-third of
which are money-order offices, but all
have registration facilities. Obviously
the bond which protects the public inter-
ests at an office not provided with money
orders must bear relative increase when
the postmaster is permitted TO sell CONE

the Government, and which must be
honored as SUCH
In the report relating to the dead letter
office, ii is stated that the number of origi1
nal pieces of unclaimed matter received
during the year was over six millions, of
which over two and a half millions were
delivered, an increase of 1850, or IA
