WASHINGTON, March 10.-The latest
things in war rumors are the reported ef-
fusive proffer of Great Britain, including
the dispatch here of British fleet in the
event of war between the United States and
Spain. To the latter proposition Mr.. Cur
zon, of the British Foreign Office, and Sir
Julian Pauncefote, British ambassador give
guarded and diplomatic denial, and Judge
Lay, assistant secretary of state, gives di
rect denial. 1t has been made plain, how
ever, that the British government enter
tains for the United States in this affair
most friendly feeling, which is not sur
prising, when it is borne in mind war on
American commerce by the Spanish navy
would cause as much damage to British in
terests as to American. The direct trade be-
tween the United States and the United
Kingdom during the last fiscal year reached
the enormous total of $780, 900 600, or more
than % per cent of the gross foreign trade
OF this country. The United States sold to
Great Britain products to the value of $4S3,-
100000 and bought from Great Britain prod
ucts valued at $165, 100000 England is our
largest customer, and that country would
suffer greatly if there should be any serious
interruption in our shipments of breadstuffs
diLn meat pIOQuCIS. IN LneSe SpeclalLl6S we
are England's greatest source of supply
Besides that, hundreds of millions of dol
lars of English capital are invested in
American property. A commercial alliance
already exists between the two countries on
account of the INTERVENING of interests,
and in a. war with Spain there could be no
question on which side Great Britain would
line up. She might not send fleet to help
us, but her enormous establishment would
be actively enlisted to protect her commerce
and incidentally ours from the Spanish
guns.
1t is not true that on the occasion of the
British ambassadors visit to the President
two or three days ago he warned the chief
executive against going to war with Spain,
or placed general embargo upon the sale
of English ships to this government; that
is to say, ships built under construction
in English yards. What he did say was
that there were some ships which could not
be bought, because England wanted them
Tor her own navy, but when Sir Julian left
the White House the President had some
very useful information which he did not
possess before as to the location of desira-
bic battle ships and cruisers which could
oe nad In exchange for cash.

MADRID, March 10.--Political and fnan-
cial circles here now fully realize that Spain
is facing a grave problem. In view of the
attitude of the United States 1t is under
stood that the Spanish government has
completely changed its policy towards
Cuba and is now counting the cooperation
of the Cuban constitutional party, urging
the maintenance OF the volunteers and the
pushing of the campaign against the in
surgents, thus giving the military policy
predominance over diplomacy. This change
is due to the fear that, if the radical au-
Economists insisted on the disarmament of
the volunteers or melted the constitution
alists to disaffection, a conflict would SUPER
vene, ''affording the United States an op-
portunty for an armed Intervention" The
presence in Madrid of Spanish ambassador
to France Senior Leon Castillo, has started
rumors to the effect that Senor Gullon, the
Spanish minister for foreign affairs, is about
to resign and that he will be replaced by
Senior Castillo. This is, however, denied in
official circles, where 1t is said the visit of
Senior Castillo is connected with the gov
ernment's negotiations to obtain the sup
port of France and Russia, which is favored
Dy all parties, lncluulnS the CarIStS ana
Republicans, as there is a general feeling
that in the event of war the racial and
commercial interests of Great Britain will
impel her to side with the United States.
1t is understood the first effect of the un-
derstanding with France will be that Spain
will receive financial assistance in order to
avert her national bankruptcy.

Cabinet Senior Meret. the minister for the
colonies, read a dispatch from Captain
General Blanco saying that the situation in
Cuba had improved
Sir Henry Drummond-Wolf. the British
Ambassador, visited Senor Cullon. the for

mediation between Spain and the United
States.
Senior Cullon has declared to a journalist
that after President McKinley's declara-
ton, no Importance should be attached to
the arrival of the Montgomery at Havana.

THE ENGLISH NAVY
May BE Placed at the Disposal of the
United States.

LONDON, March 10-The parliamentary
secretary for the Foreign Office, George N.
Cllrzon, replying in the House OF Commons
to-day to Mr.. Ronald -Munroe Ferguson,
Liberal, representing the district Of Leith,
said no communications on the Cuban ques-
ton had been exchanged between the Brit
ish ambassador at Washington, Sir Julian
Pauncefote, and the government of the
United States. The question which, 1T was
announced, the Hon. Hubert Valentine
Duncombe, Conservative, would ask,
whether, in view of recognizing the iden-
tity of the interests of all English-speak-
ing people the British government will con-
slider the advisability Of placing the serv-
ices of the British fleet at the disposal OF
the United States in the event of complica-
tions between the United States and any
foreign power, was not put Relative to
the withdrawal of his question, Mr.. Dun
combe said:
After consultation with my friends /
decided that the exact form of the ques-
tion made it inopportune to put It, 1t was
framed owing to the widely held opinion
in the House of Commons that 1t is high
time the foreign powers should be told in
unrnistakable terms that any blow struck
at either Great Britain or the United States
foundly convinced of this to-day. Many
members more than L supposed would do
SO came to me in order to say they heart
lily indorsed my question. I am convinced
the government would have desired to an
swer my proposed question affirmatively and
would have done so had it not involved
other considerations besides expressing
what / believe the present government sim
cerely holds, that in face of foreign compli-
cations the interests in the future of Great
Britain and the United States are INSOFAR
ably intertwined. To-days expression and
Endorsement we will eventuate so soon as
we can frame the question in the exact
terms which clearly express the feeling Of
the House of Commons that any trouble
threatening the United States will be
shared by Great Britain
Other members Of the House Of Com
mons who were interviewed on the same
subject all spoke in similar strain.

sells, and could handle them with far greater
effect than green crews of blue Jackets. The
ships would be off1cered from the line Of
the regular navy. In the case of enlisting
a merchant crew the pay and allowances
would be about equivalent to the rates paid
ordinary sailors. and the time of enlist
ment would doubtless be limited to short
periods.
The proposed batteries for the auxiliary
cruisers consists in the case of the steam
ships ST. Louis and st. Paul Of eight 6-inch
guns, four 6-pounders and four machine
guns: the Paris and New York twelve g.
inch; six 6-pounders and six machine guns,
1t is designed to give vessels of the Caracas
and Seneca type main battery OF eight
4-inch guns and from six to eight rapid-fire
machine guns Those Of the Vigilance class
are designed to have a main battery of six
5-inch and four 4-inch guns, four 1-pound-
ers and three machine guns. The batteries
of the auxiliary cruisers on the Pacific
coast, if these should be called in use, are
substantially similar, 6-inch guns being the
largest designed for use in that service.
The Navy Department finds itself in COM
paratively good condition as to the supply
of automobile torpodoes, which constitute
one of the most deadly engines of naval
destruction. The Whitehead torpedo is now
in general use, although few of the
Howell class are still on hand. Fifty of the
Whitehead torpedoes were secured a short
time ago, and with these there is total
of about $50 on hand. This gives not only
a full outfit for vessels now in commission.
but also the necessary reserve supply.

stnmbuIofps Murderer Gree.

BERLIN, March 10.-A dispatch to the
Lokal Anzeiger from Sofia says that yester-
day before the Appeal Court the Bulgarian
public prosecutor withdrew the charge
against Naum Tuffektchieff, sentenced to
three years Imprisonment on Dec. 30, 1896,
for the murder of M. Stambuloff, who was
stabbed and otherwise wounded in the
streets of Sofia on July 15 1895, and who
died from the effects Of his wounds three
days later. The court Cancelled the SEN
tence.
Naum Tuffektchieff was an employe in
the building department of the ministry of
public works in Bulgaria. and brother of
Dimitri Tuffektchieff, who died in prison,

Philadelphia Official Bought Up by
the Water Company.

PHILADELPHIA, March 10.-The rumors
of lobbying in connection with the several
bills before city councils for the transfer
of the city water works to private corpora
tions which have prevailed for some time
had their elimination in a direct charge of
attempted bribery made by a member of
Common Council at meeting of that body
to-day The meeting was a special session
called for the consideration of the measure
known as the Schulkll Valley Water bill.
Shortly after it had been taken up Walter
N. Stevenson, member from the Thirty-sec-
ond ward, declared that he had been Of
fered s., 900 to vote for the bill. He further
stated that he was reliably informed that
members who were voting for the bill were
getting from 81 600 to 5000 for their votes.
He asked that an immediate investigation
be made.
The declaration of Mr.. Stevenson caused
a profound sensation in the chamber and
has no doubt proved a death blow TO the
bill. Other opponents Of the bill followed
with remarks corroborative of Stevensons S
charges and amid great excitement a mo-
tion was adopted by a vote of 81 to 81
to indefinitely postpone the consideration of
the bill The special session was then ad-
journed
At the regular session later in the day
a resolution was adopted providing for an
immediate and full investigation Of the
charges by a committee OF seven. An
amendment to the resolution was adopted
directing the committee to also make full
investigation OF charges of bribery in con-
nection with the passage OF the bill in
November last which leased the city's gas
works TO the United Gas Improvement
Company for period OF thirty years.

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, March 1O.-There
was riotous outbreak by two hundred
convicts in the prison here tonight, and
two of the leaders are dying of bullet
wounds as a result The convicts were led
by William Sauerwine, a fourteen-year-
man, from Vigo county. and the uprising
occurred while the convicts were at supper.
Captain Barnard. who was in charge of the
dining room, noticed commotion and rang
the bell and ordered the steward to serve
the meat to the men. He was met with
response by two hundred convicts hurting
dishes at the guards. Night Man Ander-
son, coming on duty, was attracted to the
dining room, and, seeing the excitement,
drew his revolver and fired on the leaders,
hitting two of them. wounding them fatal
ly. 1t is thought they will both die
Sauerwine had been making threats on
the life of Superintendent Peno, of the
shoe shop, for several months, and the
guards were on the lookout for him.
Warden Harleys administration deserves
great credit for the quick work done in this
case. Owing to the small appropriation by
the last Legislature he is hampered in his
work by not having sufficient guards. He
has all the tough convicts in the State un-
der his control.

NEW TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
Great Britain, United States and ia

pan Would He Powerful.
LONDON, March 1.-THE New York cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph says: Il
have it on the highest authority that a
triple alliance between Great Britain, the
United States and Japan is pending"
morning paper says it learns that Japan
has warned Russia that if the latter retains
Port Arthur Japan will retain Wei-Hai-
Wei and the islands adjacent. The same
paper says the Japanese Admiralty has or
dered the men-of-war building abroad to be
hurried and it denies the report that Japan
will sell the cruisers now building at Phila-
delphia and San Francisco.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Singa-
pore says it is reported from Hong-Kong
that the American squadron has sailed for
Manila.
The morning papers all urge the govern
ment to keep pace with Russia, but no
alarm is expressed, since3it will take Rus
sia years to build the new vessels. The
Standard says "Russia's action is prob
ably directed as much against Germany and
Japan as against England, and 1T might
perhaps become necessary for the govern
ment to assert its right of pre-emption over
ships now building in England for foreign
governments but only as a last resource
1t would be prudent, however, to fit out the
old battle ships which are sound in hull"
The Times says: 1.-THE speech of the first
lord Of the Admiralty (Mr. Goschen) is not
the sort of language British ministers light
ly use We understand it at home and hope
it will be understood abroad" With refer
ence to the Russian rescript the Times says:
1.-THE whole balance of free funds in the
treasury would not thus suddenly be appro-
priated leaving the equilibrium of the
budget to the chances of the uncertain
future, without serious cause"

JOHN BULL CAUTIOUS.
Alleged that He Will Sell Neither side
War Ships This Season.


BOSTON, March 10--A Washington
special says: ''The proposition looking to
the purchase of war ships from English
builders has met with a serious check, and
1t looks tonight as though Commander
Brownson's trip across the Atlantic may be
all in vain. 1t is reported here on good au-
thortty that Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
British ambassador to the United States
has informed President Mckinley that
Great Britain is not prepared to allow Spain
or the United States to purchase war ships
now lying in British dock yards pending
the report of the court of inquiry.
The hesitation of the British govern
ment springs from the memory of the
Geneva award, when England was COM
demned to pay s15.OOO0OO on account of the
sale of the Alabama to the Southern Con-
fe6eracy. The sting Of that judgment has
not been forgotten. Great Britain, it is said
holds that she is forbidden by international
law to sell to either the United States or
Spain vessels which there is reasonable
ground to believe are intended to cruise or
carry on war against a power with which
she is at peace.
Ambassador Pauncefote it is said, called
attention to the opinion of Sir Alexander
Cockburn, the arbitrator named by Great
Britain in the court of arbitration The
causes of complaint put forward by the
United States before the commission were
that by reason Of want of due diligence on
the part Of the British government vessels
were allowed to be fitted out and equipped
in ports of the United Kingdom In order
to be employed in making war against the
United States, and, having been so
equipped, were allowed to quit such ports
for that purpose.
Following this Sir Alexander Cockburn
quoted the rules incumbent on the Geneva
commission. The first of these was "a
neutral government is bound to use due dill
gence to prevent the fitting out, arming or
equpping within its jurisdiction of any yes
sci which it has reasonable ground 70 be-
Heve is intended to cruise or carry on war
against a power with which it is at peace
and also to use like diligence to prevent
the departure from its jurisdiction of any
vessel intended to cruise or carry on war
as above, such vessels having been special
~ adapted in whole or in part within such
jurisdiction to warlike use.
Concerning the adhesion of Great Britain
to the rule just quoted Chief Justice Cock
burn, OF Great Britain. said: 1T was a great
and generous concession, and though the
effect OF 1t might be a pecuniary sacrifice
on the part Of Great Britain. it was one
which was cheerfully made on the one sole,
and ! trust viii not fall to ~ appreciatAd
IN the same spirit on the other

of which sum Upton, for himself,
the directors and his friends, retains &1,-
25O,0OO. The fiotation is pronounced to be
the most sensational ever launched. There
was an extraordinary rush Of people who
knew nothing about the affairs of the COM
pany. The tip had been generally circp-
lated, however, that it was a good gam
ble," and the craze extended to the West
End, where ladies of title, officers and pub
lie men were among the people who be-
Sieged Sir Thomas Upton, imploring him
to take their money Extraordinary scenes
were witnessed at the Bank of Scotland,
where the lists were opened. The police
had to regulate the crowds.
