INSTRUCTIONS CABLEO TO OUR FLEET

West Indies.

West Indies.
Washington, d. c., May - -
If it develops that the French
government deliberately bottled VI
the liner Harvard in the harbor oil
Martinique and then sent her to
certain destruction at the hands
of the Spanish feet, the United
States will declare war against
France. So openly is France in
league with Spain that practically
she may be said to be at war against
us.
Yesterday the scout Harvard APP
peared in the harbor just as two
Spanish war vessels were putting to
sea. The French government de-
tanned her for twenty-four hours and
probably forced her out of refuge
into the clutches of the waiting
Spanish fleet. All last night and
to day the navy department sent at
intervals urgent messages to the
Harvard at Martinique and also to
the consul there, but nothing was
received in reply and the plain in
ference is that the treacherous
Frenchmen refused to deliver the
and purposely cut off com
The matter is to be
by the government.
MUST EXPLAIN AN UGLY oFFENsE.
To-day the French minister ex
planned to the state department
that the linec Lafayette did not take
or guns into Havana,
but the ugliest phase of her enmity
to the United States, in allowing the
Spanish fleet to coal in her ports
and then to cut eff from commuui-
cation with our vessels, is yet to be

Friction ia the Cabinet.

| There appears to be serious fric
ton in the Presidents cabinet
From the first Secretary Gage has
tried to subordinate everything tc
his monetary scheme. He has been
a peace at-any-price man all along,
and it is said he vehementlY opposed
the hosting of the American flag
over the Philippines. He insisted
that Admiral Dewey should have
withdrawn his fleet from Spanish
waters as soon as he had vanquished
Montejo's squadron. He denounces
the apparent purpose Of the admin
istration to capture Porto Rico, and
protests that all our military opera
tons should be against the Spaniards
in Cuba for the one purpose of lib
Grating the island. He does not
want Spain thrashed and Inundated.
As he sees things, the salvation of
mankind is dependent upon making
gold the only money Of redemption.
He is monomaniac on the saving
attributes of the yellow metal.
Naturally Secretary Alger is at
cross purposes with the treasury
minister. The war secretary has
been for pronounced and vigorous
policy as regards Spain all along,
aud does not conceal his impotence
at Cages milk and water advice.
And nov that we are at war, Alger
wants to deal with the Spauiard on
the severest and most aggressive
lines. The navy department appears
to be more or less Of a milk and
water annex. The state department
appears to have a great deal of
Alger's fire, but of course its hands
are tied SO far as Spain is concerned.
The other departments haze not
made themselves at all conspicuous
Secretary Alger may be said to
come nearer being in touch with
public sentiment than any other
OF the administration. He
believes in striking Spain at every
available point on general principles
He believes war is war, and that
there is no room in war for senti- |
and it looks now very
much as though the president would |
very soon have to decide which of
;he two men, Al.er or Gage, shall

SCANDAL IN HIGH LIFE,

River street has been the scene of an
other scandalous difficulty and the good
reputation of this well known locality is
rapidly going to the dogs in spite of the
efforts of its well known inhabitants to
keep out of sight of Barrels eagle eyed
blue coats. May Coti, genial hostess
who resides in brown stone front in the
most aristocratic portion of this beauti-
full boulevard, had as guest tu,ing
the warmer part of last week young
lady from Waterbury yclept Miss Olive
Dumarsh.
Miss Olive, according to the story of
her hostess, did not make return for the
kindness bestowed upon her during her
visit but instead she left Barre in COM
pany with Mrs. Colts favoritc install
ment piano lamp This of course made
somebody pretty mad aud Constable w.
IL. buchanan was sent to Waterbury af-
ter her and the lamp.
She was brought before Justice II.
W. Scott yesterday and prosecuted by
Grand Juror Aland G. Fay In the
opinion of Mr.. Fay she was technically
guilty of larceny but inasmuch us she
evidently did not intend to steal and as
the property was returned lie asked for
only light judgment. In consequence
Justice Scott fined her 81 90 and costs
of 1881.
