In the House of Commons to-day Sir Wifrd
Laurier, in reply to a question by Sir Charles
Tupper, made the announcement that the Anglo
American Joint High Commission would
assemble date to be given out shortly. and
that possibly Ottawa would be the scene of the
conference. The Premier added that he hoped
in few days to state the position of the va
rious protocols
Washington, March 21.-It is not possible to
obtain at the state Department any statement
that would throw light upon the rather peculiar
utterance OF the Canadian Premier respecting
the Joint High Commission. 1t is noticed that
he did not state directly that a date has yet
been selected for the reassembling Of the Conn
mission, so it is not possible to secure any con-
firmation of the statement that the Commission
is to meet at all. 1t is suggested by the Off
cials that Sir Wilfrid Laurier Is prepared to
make some overtures In respect to the issues
that parted the last Commission. Of which our
Government is not yet advised but which he
feels assured will serve the purpose of starting
the negotiations afresh. So far can be learned
there have been no recent exchanges between
the two governments.

CHOATE CABLES REPLY.
Our Ambassador Explains Engiand's View
ofFiour Seizures.

OF flOuT
The answer Of the British govern
ment to Mr.. Choate's representations
respecting the seizures OF American
flour and other goods on the three yes
sells, Beatrice, Mashons and MADEIRA
has been received.
Just as the officials Of the state de-
partmeut anticipated, 1t amounted to
a partial answer and is very satisfac'
tory so far as it goes, disposing OF the
character of some OF the goods seized,
but not finally deciding broadly
whether or not foodstuffs are to be re.
oarded as contraband Of war. In brief
Mr.. Choate reports as follows.
"That the answer is highly satisfac'
tory; that it is broad and liberal IN
terms. The position assumed by the
British government is tina. foodstufis
in transit to q hostile destination can
be regarded as contraband OF war only
when they are supplies for the enemyf
forces. It is not sufficient they are
capable OF being used for the benefit
of the enemy; It must be shown thai
thew are so in feet through their desti
nation ct the time Of the seizure
1.-THE British government dte' no
claim that any OF the American good'
on the German bark Maria and th'
British bark Mashona were contra
band Of war. The British government
is invests eating the fact in connection
with the goods seized on the third YES
sci, the Beatrice"

Responding to the senate's resolution
Of inquiry, the secretary OF the navy
sent to the senate Thursday copy OF
Admiral Dewey's report from Hong
Kong, dated March 81, 1898, relative
TO the capture of Manila, then under
consideration. He stated that his
own squadron was in a high state OF
efficiency. Speaking Of tie Spanish
forces he said it numbered about lo,'
600 soldiers Of all arms in all the rs
lands, Of which half were in the yicin-
ity. of Manila. -
1.-THE islands," says the report, ARE
now in q state OF insurrection, aud

Spanish soldiers, who constitute only
small part Of the whole, are disaffect,
ed. Both ships aud forts are in need
of ammunition. I believe lam not over
confident in stating that with the
squadron under my command the yes.
sells could be taken and the defense OF
Manila reduced in one day.
"There is every reason to believ'
that with Manila taken, or even block

British Generals Mind Said to lie Unb"i-

A special .csble to The Chicago
Tribune from London says Lieutenant
General Lord Methuen, commanding
the column advancing to the relief OF
Kimberley, is TO be relieved OF his
command within two weeks. Later
he will be sent to Cape Town and
eventually ordered home. When he
reaches England he will be retired.
These facts have been confirmed by
an official of the war Office.
Lord Methuen's case is sad one.
ALWAYS man of rather frail physique
although clever boxer and all.round
sportsman--his constitution began TO
show signs of breaking down almost
Immediately after he took command
Of his division.
Three days after the battle Of Bel
mont. neral Wolseley suggested to
the war Office that Methuen be rellev'
ed. His advice was not needed. The
wisdom Of the aged but keen com
mand er.in chef of the British army
is now realized by the war ofhce'whe
scoffed at his suggestion.
Friends of Lord Methuen insist h'
ia only in broken health; that TIT
strain Of many campaigns has SKATER
ed his naturally nervous system.
Those who know the circumstance
and the situation on Modder rive
equally we'll and who are willing Y
state facts plaiuly, say that Methuen
mind is unbalanced.
