THE SABINE SEIZURE.
English Criticism Il Our Course Based on In
correct Information.

London Feb. DEMONSTRATION shows
that the London Standard editorial re-
ferrinc to Capt Mahan's speech of last
Saturday on sea power, was based on
a news agency report which proves to
be quite Inaccurate. 1t was announced
under New York date that Washing
ton dispatches said Lord Salisbury tod
Ambassador Choate that he regretted
the seizure Of the Sabine and that the
British commanders had been instruct
ed to be more careful in stopping
American vessels, adding that Lord
Salisbury had handed Mir. Choatc for
nal papers on the subject. All these
assertions are vigorously denied at the
foreign office and at the United States
embassy and a representative Of The
Associated Press learned that the facts
in the case are as follows:
Late on Saturday, Mr.. Choatc called
at the foreign office when Lord Sails
bury Informed him that the govern
ment had that day received cOnfrma-
ton of the dispatch announcing the
Sabine's release. In view of that. Lord
Salisbury said it was not necessary to
enter further into the discussion. But

that he failed to see how American in

CECIL RHODES SPEECH
Al Kimberley TO The De Beers &C ArOuscs
Great Enthusiasm.

Kimberley. Feb. 24-Mr. Cccil
Rhodes, presiding at a meeting Of thH
De Beers CO., today, delivered re-
markable speech which was received
with great enthusiasm.
After announcing that the years
profits Of the De Beers 60. amounted
to c20O0 600 he spoke of the chartered
company's transactions with De Beers
and said that the shareholders were dl-
vidrd into two classcs-ima ginative
and unimagnative. The latter. he
said. passed their lives filing money
bags that are dissipatcd by their off
springs on wine ANA womem and horses.
To the latter class he stated that the
transaction with the Chartered 60. had
closed satisfactorily. as the De Beers
Go. owned all the diamonds wherever
its charter existed.
To the imaginative he drew an elo-
quent picture of these mines 100 years
hence as mirroring European civiliza-
ton in the far South.
The latter" he said, feel glow Of
satisfaction at the thought that the
immense riches taken from the soil
have not been merely devoted to the
decoration of the fair sex"
Speaking of the war he considered it
a puzzle why it arose. The Transvaal
and the Free State were not republics,
he declared. but oliSarches and had
been long conspirinE to seize British
South Africa. Each government was
simply a small political gang who
humbugged the poor Dutchman, ap-
poaling to their patriotism and dividing
the spols among the coteries. The
Afrikander had been working for 20
years for independent Africa. He said
that Former President Rietz of the
Orange Free State had years and years
ago avowcd that their only ambition
in life was to drive England out of
Africa. After showing how Kimberley
had been defended by citizens of whom

ENGLAND NOT FRIGHTENED.
Her Immense Naval Appropriation Considered
Merely Matter Of Course.

London. Feb. 2S.-IntroducinS the naval
estimates in the House of Commons, to-
day, George J. Goschen, the first lord OF
the admiralty, said there was nothing
spasmodic or sensational therein. The
total. with the expected conditions, would
be 3n,o0J, 0Oo. The government fully real
lied the situation and knew the nation
expected the navy TO be prepared for all
emergencies, and the estimates Were
framed on that footing. Nothing, he con-
tinued hau been put down for the mobi-
should be necessary the government
would not hesitate to mobilize and come
to Parliament for money, but he thought
the time had not arrived for taking that
course and he hoped that it would not
arrive.
Continuing, Mr.. Goschen said that Great
Britain was not menaccu by any naval
power. Europe knew her strength and
the number Of ships she possessed There
were times when demonstration was adj
visable, but the government did not
think it advisab BILE upon this occasion.
Regarding the export of coal. Mr.. Cos
chen announced that The government
could not prohibit it unless at war with
a foreign power or in an emergency very
different from the present.
The admiralty. he further asserted was
considering how it could organize a naval
reserve in conjunction with the colonies.
Tie explained that with an adequate or
ganization the government could get a
very valuable contingent from CANDIDA
and Australia. The negotiations with
Canada were very well advanced. Canada
asked that the period OF training be re-
duced, but a final decision on the subject
had not been reached.
Dealing with the construction Of fresh
ironclads. Mr.. Goschen remarked that
The Hague convention already seemed a
thing of the dim past. When the peace
conference was called he suggested that
possibly the beginning of further build
ing Of battleships might be suspended.
