Portsmouth, N. H., July 9.-The
North Atlantic squadron, headed by the
battleship Indiana. steamed majestic
ally into the harbor, this afternoon
and dropped anchor without ostenta-
ton in the harbor off the Kittery navy
yard. The fleet is the most imposing
array of battleships that has ever
visited Portsmouth and proved a sufi-
cient attraction to bring over 5000 per-
sons from the surrounding country in
to the city, and as the coming of the
ships had been bulletined at least three
hours before they arrived, nearly all
this great multitude had the pleasure
of witnessing the column as it steamed
up from Newcastle.
The fleet arrived off Whalesback
light at the mouth of the harbor, at
1915, but Capt. Taylor, who commands
the squadron in the absence of Ad
miral Sampson, decided upon a few
maneuvres before coming, up to the
city. The fleet was therefore put
through a number of Interesting move
ments. much to the delight of the
guests at Hotel Wentworth. who had a
fine view of the six ships as they form

CRISIS is PAST
But the Settlement Is Distant
Says President Kruger.
The Recent UItimatum from England
Has the Desired Effect.
Reforms Promised for Uitlanders -Rscsni
conspirators to Be Punished.

London, July 10-The Rome corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail says: THE
Pope has been in correspondence with
President Kruger appealing to him to
avoid rupture with Great Britain and,
yesterday, he received a dispatch from
the Transvaars Chief Magistrate de-
claring that q settlement was still dis
tant, but that the crisis was past"
Absolutely official information was
given out, yesterday, that England has
sent an ultimatum to Dom Paul.
Unless the English government re-
ceives within seven days explicit and
satisfactory pledges that Transvaal re-
forms will be made that will give Uit-
landers voice in the government, 49,
900 English troops will be sent from In
dia to the cape at once.
This will be at once followed by 90
900 additional troops, as fast as the
transport service can handle them.
The chief points of debarkation will
be Durham and Port Elizabeth. The
entire force will be in Africa within
two months, if needed.
London. July 10.-All the special dis
patches to the morning papers from
Cape Town and Johannesburg concur
as to the complexity and obscurity Of
the Boer proposals and declare that
the Uitlanders are profoundly disap-
pointed. In johannesburg it is be-
lieved that President Kruger is only
dallying to gain time until the west
season makes campaigning difficult for
Britishers.
The Hon. w. X. P. Schremner, the
Cape premier, has addressed letter to
an Afrikander paper published in Cape
TOWN. declaring that there is no
ground whatever for the active inter-
ference of the imperial government in
the Transvaal as the Beers proposals
are satisfactory. This has aroused
great Indignation in the Cape Colony.
where it is regarded as mischievous,
ill-timed and calculated to encourage
Mr. Kurger and to embarrass Sir Al
fred Miner

BRILLIANT AFFAIR.
Gen. Ludlow's Reception Out
shines All Previous Events.
Far More Cubans Than Expected Ask
for the American Gratuity.
Otis Cables Two skeleton Regiments from
Volunteers Are Assured.

Havana. July 9.-Havana society adj
here of late years could compare with
the reception and ball given, last even
ing. by Gen. Ludlow, the military gov
ernor. Gen. Ludlow gave the function
in honor OF independence day and the
representative Cuban and Spaniards of
Havana were present.
American officials here are surprised
at the large numbers of Cubans now
applying in the province of Santiago
for a share in the American gratuity
The Cuban officers had assured them
THAI there were not 100 men in the pro-
vince who would accept money from
the United States, basing the assur-
ance on kilograms which purported to
come from Santiago. Even when it be
came known that these dispatches were
inspired by Cuban malcontents here
and concocted in the IngIaterra cafe,
ii was still felt that these opponents of
rational solution might be able to
prevent a large number from applying
TO the American paymaster
Those who knew the facts of the case
believed that the Santiago insurgents
were much underestimate on the pay
rolls, especially as the Cuban generals
had always claimed that more than GO
per cent of the army was in Santiago
province. 1t turns out that the jeal-
ousy that existed in war times between
the Eastern and Western troops will
exist and those in Santiago province
advice from Havana.
-
mustered out payment was made to i1755.
SiXtey weapons have been delivered to
the mayor of the city. Two hundred
and eighty-four applications have been
refused. The supplementary lists .will
be ready in about 10 days.
A dispatch from Puerto Principe says
the rural guards there were notified of
the presence of a band of 40 armed
men near the city and pursued them to
Carvajal plantation where the outlaws
gave fight from behind stone wall
After 10 minutes of hot firing the
bandits made a dash for the road and
escaped, losing one man, Luis Cruise, a
former resident of Nuevitas and al
ways a worthless character. The rural
guards had two men wounded. They
captured Is horses which the out laws
had been leading. The band recently
stole eight rifles, a number of revolt
vers and machettes and a quantity of
cartridges with which it was evident
they intended to arm additional men.
La Correspondence of Cienfuegos,
says Gen. Wilson has ordered police
headquarters not to give reports of de-
partment affairs to the newspapers and
especial care has been enjoined regard
ing the suburban work of the rural
guards.
Ell DiarO de la Marina, today, asserts
that farmer was recently robbed by a
band claiming to belong to new
junta organized to GUST the Americans
by war if necessary.
A prominent Spaniard said, this even
ing, that most of the letters received by
local business houses show decided
hesitation to extend operations in Cuba
until matters are more tranquil.
Gen. Ludlow is planning to extend
the drains running to the sea near the
Leper hospital farther down the harbor.

To Keep Out Of Nervous Prostitution BY Prop.
er Use OF Food.

1t is a lamentable fact American
brain workers do not. as a rule, know
how to feed themselves to rebuild the
daily loss Occasioned by active mental
effort This fact, coupled with the
disastrous effects of the alkaloids con-
tanned in tobacco, coffee and whiskey,
makes a sure pathway towards nervous
prostration.
The remedy is simple enough. En-
ploy the services of a food expert, who
knows the kind of food required to
rebuild the daily losses in the human
body This can be done by making
free use of Grape-Nuts, the famous
breakfast food. which contains exactly
the elemental principles which have an
affinity for albumen and go directly to
rebuild the gray matter in the brain,
solar plexus and nerve centers
throughout the body. Follow your
selection of food up with a dismissal of
coffee. tobacco and whiskey for Is
days and mark the difference in your
mental ability, which means every
thing to the average hustling Ameri-
can. who must have physical and men,
tai strength or he falls out in the race
for dollars and cents.

SENATOR JONES TALKS POLITICS.
Bryan. He Says, sure Of Obtaining
the Democratic Nomination.

NEW YORK. October 9.-United States
Senator James *. Jones' OF Arkansas
chairman OF the Democratic National
Committee and wife were passengers on
tho Cunard Line steamship Lucania, that
reached New York city yesterday. They
have been travelling in England. Ireland,
Scotland, Switzerland and Wales FOR sew
eral months Senator Jones said Sunday
that he had been much benefited by his
! lengthy European travels and felt ready
to go 10 the hard work necessary in get
ting ready for the presidential campaign.
When asked his opinion as TO the prob
ability OF the Democratic nomination for
President going TO William j. Bryan, he
said:
There is no doubt that Bryan will re-
ceiye tho Democratic nomination for
President" and added: HAS anybody
any doubt on that question? Bryan is
sure 10 win
On the attitude Of Richard Croker as
20 the nomination Of Bryan for President,
Senator Jones had little TO say. merely
replying TO a direct question: Croker is
already i'm line"
AZ to the possible outcome of the ma
tional campaign Of 1900, Senator Jones
said he believed that the free silver idea
would have a greater following than in
tho campaign OF 1896.
I'm 1896" be said, "there were many
Republicans and others who believed that
when the Republican party declared for
bimetallism the declaration was made I'm
all sincerity. These same men now
doubt the sincerity OF that plank Of the
Republican platform"
When asked what effect he thought the
apparent prosperity i'm the Western
States would have on Democratic issues,
Senator Jones said:
eyes, / know they say at Washington
that the country is in a highly prosper
Gus condition, and perhaps that IS cor
rect from certain standpojnts. But 1
cannot see that there is any great ma
terial prosperity among the agricultural
and similar classes. II does not appear
to have affected the farmer nor has it
done much as yet for the laboring-man
I'm general. Cotton and wheat have not
MADE any advance TO speak OF In
price. That argument can be readily
answered when the time comes. OF
| course, there has been an increase i'm the
| output of gold. and that IS bound To
| affect politics in some degree, greater or
less. But that is only proof Of tie
arguments advanced by us i'm 1896, that
what the country needed was greater
volume of money in circulation"
When asked what effect he thought the
| alleged prosperity would have on the
voter in general. he said in emphatic
| tones:
1T will affect only those men who are
very narrow I'm their political and social
views. That voter IL will influence but IN
reality it will be an argument in favor Of
| our partV"

will buy whiskey, or something that acts
like whiskey. and tastes good. Justice

lnal assault. His intended victim was Per
line Brown a negro child, aged years.
Piokrell was apprehended in the attempt
He was sent on TO the grand jury. In
view Of his own years. however, convic-
tion is not considered probable.
George Dawson, young negro was
up on the charge Of stealing a lot Of dry
goods. The articles were valued at S6i.
The plaintiff asked that the case be dis
missed. 1t was dismissed, but Dawson
paid the costs. which were S.4O.
Wesley Haden alias James Thomas col
oreO was charged with being suspi-
cous character. lie went down for thirty

Gaines. and Brother Gibbs. They are
colorcd boys. and were charged with
throwing stones at the house Of John H.
Robertson. Each boy was fined $3.50 and
costs.
S. c. Blunt was before his Honor on
the charge Of being disordery on cleo
tric-car No. IS, of the old line. At the re-
quest Of the complainants Blunt was dis
charged. But he paid the costs.

John Day (colored) created disturb
ancc on the premises of William Palmer
He was fined s..
James Brown was charged with enter
ing the house Of William Palmer for the
purpose of committing larceny. The tes-
timony before Justice John was that he
got clothing valued at SIS. Justice John
committed him TO the mercies of a grand
jury.
These cases and the DRINKS closed the
proceedings OF the day.
