WANT TO SEE OUR NARSHIPS
INVITATIONS RECEIVED FROM
MANY ENGLISH PORTS.
Talk of Re-establishing the Atlantic
Squadron and Sending It Abroad
Under Admiral Sampson.

Washington, April S.-Since the sug-
that the navy department should re-
establish the European squadron, and
include among the vessels to be de-
tailed to that station some of those
( which took distinguished part in the
great naval battle of July 8, the mu-
/ nicipal authorities of some of the Eng
fish ports have invited the department
to send the ships to their places, prom
/ Using a royal welcome.
The department, however, has been
unable to carry out it's plans for the
immediate establishment of the Euro
pean squadron, owing. in the first
place, to the necessity of dispatching
most of the smaller vessels of the
North Atlantic squadron to reinforce
Dewey's fleet, and, in the second place,
to the desire to avoid a remission of
the annual spring and summer maneu-
vers of the North Atlantic squadron
The extreme Importance of these ma
neuvers was so thoroughly demon
strated by the results obtained during
the Spanish-American war that it is
believed to be unwise to omit them for
even one season.
Now it is suggested that if the Eu-
ropean squadron is not to be re-estab-
lished, it may at least be feasible to
send some of the crack ships of the
North Atlantic squadron across the
Atlantic on a visit of courtesy to the
English ports, as soon as the maneu-
vers now in progress in the Caribbean
sea are concluded and the ships have
had an opportunity t. refit. The exc
cution of this plan woslld, it is said,
involve the sending of Rear Admiral
Sampson himself in command of the
flying squadron.
This suggestion has not SO far taken
anything like official form. and it was
said at the navigation bureau today
that it was very unlikely that it would
come to anything. 1T may be noted
that the navy department would move
very deliberately in ordering any such
movement of the ships of the North
Atlantic squadron. II they were dis
patched. as projected only to English
ports, the event would have deep in
ternational Significance and would be
likely to cause irritation among some
of the continental powers that are al
ready deeply agitated over the exist
ing entente between the United States
and Great britain.

They are in the tablet form which re-
tains their good qualities indefinitely,
while liquid preparations become stale
and useless with age.
They are convenient, can be carried
in the pocket and taken when needed.
They are pleasant to take.
After each meal dissolve one or two
of them in the mouth, and, mingling
with the food, they constitute a perfect
digestive, absolutely safe for the most
sensitive stomach.
They digest the food before it has
time TO ferment, thus preventing the
formation of gas and keeping the blood
pure and free from the poisonous pro-
ducts of fermented, half-digested food.

remedy designed especially for the cure
of stomach troubles and nothing else.

FIRE IN A COUNTY HOSPITAL
ONE MAN BURNED TO DEATH
IN VIRGINIA, NEW.
Many Inmates Were Predetermined
and Tried to Rush Back Into the
Flames After Being Rescued.

Virginia. New, April S.-Ths town
was startled early today by seeing
flames issuing from the county hospital
building. The hospital is about a mile
from town and when the fire company
arrived the two-story wooden building
was a seething furnace.
A hasty examination showed that all
inmates had been rescued. There were
thirty-five patients in the institution
and it was with great difficulty that all
were rescued. Several are feeble-mind-
ed and Steward Eckley was compelled
to use force in getting them out, as
they refused to give assistance and
endeavored to get back into the build
ing. A number of patients only saved
the clothing they had on.
Shortly after the flames were dis
covered an explosion occurred which
scattered the fire through the building,
and Frustrated several inmates on the
outside. seriously injuring James Mat
news and burning Annie Neller about
the face and hands.
The body of Joseph Rich was found
in the ruins of the hospital later in the
day. He was known to have escaped
from the building, and it is supposed
he ran back to get some treasured ar

Copyright. 1899, by the Associated Press
London, April S.-The unraveling of
the Samoan ENHANCEMENT is followed
with keen interest here especially in CO.
lonial circles. Germany's "obstinacy,'
as her attitude is termed here from the
beginning of the trouble, is regarded as
''incomprehensible," and is said to be
only explained by a desire TO get the
upper hand in the islands. This view
is expressed by a colonial expert Who,
writing TO the Morning Post, says:
For some reason never yet explain
ed, Germany regards Samoa as an i'm
portant link in her foreign policy.
Rather than give up Samoa, the Ger
mans would go to war No doubt Ger
many has not forgotten what a prize
Helicgoland has proved, and the Ger
man chancellor possibly anticipates a.
more important deal, if he can only get
possession of Samoa"
The newspapers point out the grow
ing Importance of Samoa to New Yea
land and the significance of the latters
offer to send volunteers to Samoa.
UTTERANCES NOT CREDITED.
The alleged interview with the United
States ambassador to Germany. An
drew d. White, published in the Munich
Allegemaine Zeitung. has attracted
much attention, but the utterances at
tributed to MIR. White are not generally
credited. The Morning Post editorially
says the sentiments ascribed to Mr.
White are plainly colored by the pre-
Nailing tone of dissatisfaction with
Great Britain existing in Germany on
the subject. We cannot be misled by
the complexion of the interview into
believing that Mr.. White has discovered
influences in England which tend
against his ideal of the determination
of Great Britain, Germany and the
United States, which we frankly adopt
The Morning Post concludes:
No United States diDlomatist could
have discovered the circumstances in
the tone alleged by the Munich Ale
gemaine Zeitung of Mr.. White"
The Spectator, which thinks that
''preposterous Importance" has been
given the whole affair, says:
Great Britain only needs a coaling
station, if she needs that. But we must
vigorously support American claims.

expensive
In view of the called reports that
many of the American soldiers from
Cuba have been attacked by cerebro-
spinal-meningitiS, a representative of

The visit of the king and queen of
Italy to Sardinia next week will be an
interesting occasion, and from some
standpoints significant. The event will
shape the naval reunion at Cagliari,
capital of the island of Sardinia, of the
fleets of Great Britain and France, and
1t is hoped the opportunity will be
seized upon to emphasize the better
understanding now existing between
the two countries. Altogether there will
be fifty warshipS in the harbor, twenty
British and fifteen each from France
and Italy. There viii be no review, but
the king of Italy viii hold a ceremon
ious reception of the principal officers.
1t is announced that the Prince of
Wales has succeeded in definitely ar
ranging for the queen to open, in May
OF June, the Royal College of Science,
in which the science collection Of the
South Kensington museum will be
housed. The collection at present is
lodged in the part of the museum known
from its hideous shape as the ''Bromp-
ton boilers"
The cerem any of opening the college
will be on the same scale as imperial

be lined with troops and there will be a
procession which, however, viii have

termined it will be her last public APP

ENTITLED TO EXTRA PAY.
Granted to Men Enlisted In Revenue
Cutter Service.

Washington, April S.-Mr. Mitchell,
assistant comptroller of the treasury,
has decided that men who We're ap-
pointed to office or who enlisted in the
revenue cutter service for the war with
Spain are entitled to the extra pay I'M
der the act of March 8, 1899.
The decision, however, applies only to
those who served in revenue cutter SER
vice by order Of the president in COOP
Grafton with the navy, and who We're
discharged at the close of the war. 1t
does not give the extra pay to those
who were not discharged at the close
of the war Nor does it give extra
pay to men who did not serve by order
of the president under the direction of
the secretary of the navy in co-opera-
ton with the navy during the war.

New York, April Sat meeting of
the New York East conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church at Mount
Vernon, n. Y, Rev. DR.. Thomas Tiff,
superintendent of the Utah mission of
the church, addressed the conference,
protesting against the admission of
Brigham H. Roberts to the national

that ex-senator Edmunds and Speaker
Thomas B. Reed had said there was no
possibility of preventing Mr.. Roberts
being sworn in and taking his seat as
a congressman, as he was entitled to it
under his certificate of election, but it
was entirely competent for the house
of representatives to, take action, as
it has exclusive jurisdiction. This, the

Friendly Relations With Spain to Be

Washington, April S.-The exchange
of notifications of the treaty of peace
between Spain and the United States,
signed at Paris, will probably take
place in this city next week, and that
ceremony viii be followed by a procla-
nation by President Mckinley officially
announcing the close of the war with
Spain and the assumptions of friendly
relations, commercial and otherwise,
between the two countries.
The exchange of notifications will be
followed promptly by the payment of
$20O00,OO0 to the Spanish government
on account of the cession of the Philip
pine islands to the United States.

it was very likely that whatever action
is taken will be in line of an effort to
have the seat of Roberts declared va
cant after the member from Utah Is
seated.
Resolutions were adopted urging the
expulsion of Roberts from congress and
the adoption of a constitutional amend
ment making polygamy a crime against
the United States.
