the war in the Philippines will be over be-

conduct. At Maralo l found him In private
house and ordered him under arrest, as h
had no business there. The paper that

COMBINE AGAINST ENGLAND
Coalition of the Continental POWERS
Comes Near Putting John Bull
in Corner.

Copyright, 1899. by Press Publishing CoO
BRUSSELS, Nov. 14.-(New York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram.)-The st. Pc
tersburg correspondent of the independence
Beige says:
ENGLAND was in effect on the verge OF
having to face a serious coalition. Ine
czar was the soul of this movement, France
being approached through Muravieff, whose
recent visits are fresh in the public MIND
Germany's cooperation was secured condi-
tionally to the acceptance OF France, but
the French cabinet thought the political
situation rendered such a step too risky.
France is ill-prepared for action, either ON
sea or land, at the present moment, ana
while defeat would occasion popular ris-
ing in Paris victory might equally cause the
overthrow of the republic in favor OF a
military dictatorship. AS setof to this
| rebuff Germany has already partly recouped
| herself and Russia now meditates a virtual
| protectorate in Afghanstan, an extension oi
| her sphere of influence to the Persian gull
| and free passage of the Dardanelles."
The story seems only worth repeating be-
| cause Independence, whose authority In for
| eign politics is well known seems to at
| tach a certain amount of credence to 1t.

sCHLEY UONfERS WITH ALLEN
Admiral's Final Call nt Navy Dephrt-
ment Before Assuming Command
of south Atlantic Squadron.

WASHINGTON, Nov 14.-Rear Admiral
SchIey, who is about to assume command of
the South Atlantic squadron, called at the
Navy department today and had long con-
ference with Acting Secretary Allen con-
cerning the general character of the serv-
ice on which he is about to embark. 1t was
the admirals final call before leaving, as he
goes on Thursday to New York, where on
Saturday he will raise his flag on the cruis-
err Chicago. The sailing orders OF the ship
giving its route and destination have not
vet been issued and 1t is said definite de-
termination has not been reached on this
point.
The admiral's visit led to renewed con-
lecture as to the probability of his going to
some of the South African ports. AS to this,
however, the admiral declined to say word
and there was the same reticence through
out naval officers.
1t is understood however. that this was
among the matters gone over and the view
prevails in we'll informed quarters that the
governments general line of policy as to the
South African war will be known to Ad
miraI Schley before he sails, as thereafter
he will be the executive officer in touch with
| that field of actiCn.

morning and with the first roll of the vessel
the horses stampeded. Wave after wave
crashed over the decks of the steamer
throwing the animals about, breaking their
legs and otherwise manning them. The
scene was frghtful and it was Impossible
for the men on the ship to do anything with
the terrified animals.
The vessel was uncomfortable and 1t was
next to impossible for any one to stand Oh
deck, it was so slippery with blood anc
debris. Three hundred and fifty horses were
killed and they remained on deck four days
before the bodies could be disposed OF
Thousands of sharks followed the vessel

BOER SHELLS ARE HARMLESS

Fire is Inaccurate and at Too
Long Range.

noon AN undated dispatch received from
Kimberley says: 1.-THE Beers ceased she'll
ing November about p M. having fired
at intervals all day long, some seventy
shells majority of them falling in debris
heaps and open spaces. The average range
was S16O yards. One cooking pot was in
iured. There was a brisk market for frag-
ments, choice specimens fetching e2. The
Beers, apparently, were shelling at the eX-
treme range of their guns. Yesterday s
attempt is regarded as ludicrous. The
| weather was splendid. The bombardment
was continued briskly all the morning OF

| the Dutch church. There were no casual
ties The shells are of very inferior quail
ity and seemingly fired by amateurs. One,
almost intact, was picked up. 1t weighs

| have been firing from three positions. SO
far the Boer activity causes little alarm
