Brave Young Ensign.

Washington, Sept. 19-The navy de-
partment has received the following
cablegram from Az iral Watson, dated
Manila, Sept. 10:
"Davidson on the Paragua had a sharn
engagement on the 14th at San Fabian.

gents heavily entrenched at a distance
Of from GOO to 700 yards. The insurgents

i've. On the Paragua there were no cas-
ualties. The senior officer commends
Davidson highly

francs so centimes. The police receive
no extra pay. The detectives receive
three francs extra but as they are at
present doing nothing else but watching
Fort Chabrol their salary averaging 10
francs a day has to be added. 1t can be
estimated that each contingent of troops
and republican guards cost 6,400 francs.
To this must be adde 120 detectives at 13
francs per head, making 5000 francs and
making grand total Of $3.50 francs per
day. AS the siege has lasted 3S days,
NJ. Jules Guerin and his II men have al
ready cost thc Paris taxpayers 367. $50
francs. To this is to be added the
amount of the indemnity which it now is
almost certain must be paid by the gov
ernment to the people whose business
has suffered owing to the siege.

London. Sept 19.-There s an unveri-

The rumor. however fails to obtain much

The Outlander press sees nothing but
war ahead and urges the Outlanders to
leave Immediately.

from Capetown which says: The general
impression is that the Beers will at once

New York. Sept. ia dispatch to the
INES from Paris says: The high court
cases against the royalist conspra tors
for attempting to change the form of
government, have been commenced in the
senate, and they are almost certain to
end in fiasco for the government. No
serious charge is alleged against the ac-
cused. The Parisians are not in the least
excited. In fact, they are not even in
terested in the proceedings. 1t is be-
heved that the ministry will fall if the
prosecution colapses. The outlook is
very uncertain and the radicals are pre-

It is the first time in the history OF court
martials that military tribune had to
cnoose between general Of division and
a captain of artillery. From a judicial
point Of view the decision Of the council
OF war cannot be defended. Neither our
government nor any other government
could stand up in the face Of the nations
ana DEFEND that decision. It may be
somewhat excusable to military minds
and from military point Of view. never
theless it is the duty of the government
TO put both in accord This the nation

PRESENTED TO THE QUEEN.
Opponents of the SilveIa Cabinet
to the British Conservative Party.

BERLIN, March GA high official of the
German Navy Department has informed the
correspondent of the Associated Press that
the appointment of Prince Henry OF Prus-
sia, a brother of Emperor William, to the
command of the East Asiatic squadron, had
been considered for months past and was
finally decided on as being the most availa-
BILE, the Emperor desiring to show the
American people that he is thoroughly
friendly to them, knowing that Prince Henry
is popular in the United States. When the
official referred to was asked whether the
appointment was equivalent to the disgrace
of Admiral Won Diedrichs. he said: Not
exactly. If Admiral Won Dedrichs had
shown more tact last summer before Manila
il would undeniably have been productive of
good results all around. Our government,
unfortunately, was advised too late of a
number of occurrences before Manila, none
of which was really important, but they
showed grave want of tact on Admiral Won
Diedrichs's part. The main trouble was that
Admiral Won Diedrichs was insutficiently in
formed on international naval usages in
such delicate situation. Consequently he
continued naval movements, drill and
searcblight practice as If elsewhere than In
blockaded port, thus arousing distrust on
the part of the Americans
The above is important as being the first
German official admission that there has
been trouble between the Germans and Ma
nila Bay. The first regularly appointed
German naval attache at Washington. Won

morrow on board the North German Lloyd

goodly portion of the little city, but did
inestimable damage to much fine timber

tinuing to a point twelve miles north Of
