THE EUROPEAN STATION.
Navy Department. ReeStabIishes Il
With Cromwell in Command.

Washington, July 6.-The Navy Depart
ment has issued formal orders, re-estab-
fishing the European station with Rear
Admiral j. B. Cromwell in command. The
cruiser Chicago is ordered to proceed
from Rio and will be the flagship of the
Admiral.
The Albany and Nashville sailed from
for the new station. The headquarters
of the squadron will be designated by
Admiral Cromwell, and will probably be
in the Mediterranean.
Admiral Cromwll is now at Rio and has
acknowledged the receipt of his orders.
the ships at the time they assemble will
be Gibraltar.
The European station, although marked
on the naval maps, has not been in actual
existence since just before the breaking
out of the Spanish war Prior to that
time the several ships had been in the
Mediterranean and the San Francisco and
Bancroft made hurried departure from
these waters to avoid the complications
likely to ensue when war was declared.
The limits of the station are Port Said,
at the entrance of the Red Sea, on the
east, and a line running north and south
through the Atlantic from the southern
most point of Greenland to Para, on the
north coast of Brazil, and thence east
ward. This includes the Azores, and all
of the waters of Europe and North AT
riCa.
Admiral Cromwell has been until now
commander-in-chiefo of the South Allan
tic station, and his new assignment
creates a vacany which will be filled for
the present by Capt. Pendleton of the At
lanta, now at Rio. II additional ships are
sent to the South Atlantic later rear
admiral probably will be named for the
command, but for the present there is no
purpose of increasing the ships on that
station. Neither is there any present pros
pect of adding to the ships on the Euro
pean station. The re-establishment of the
European station is said to be entirely
devoid of political significance and to be
simply a move in the regular procedure
of the navy to place the service in the
same condition that it was prior to the
war

GOV. ALLEN COMING BACK.
VIII Present Porto Rtcan Free
Trade Resolution in Person.


Washington, July 6.-The State Depart
ment has received by mail and by cable
from Gov. Allen notice of the action of
the Porto Rican Legislature in adopting
the free trade resolution. BY mail came
an advance copy of the resolution before
it was acted upon and the cablegram re-
ceived by Acting Secretary Hill informed
him that the resolution, as mailed, had
been adopted. One of the paragraphs In
the resolutions requests Gov. Allen to
present them in person to President Nc
Kinley, and IL is the understanding that
the Governor will do this. The Mayfiower,
his station ship, which has been on the
Venezuelan coast for the past month
looking after American interests in that
quarter, returned to-day to San Juan, and
she will convey the governor, probably ac-
companied by a legislative committee, to
Hampton Roads, whence they will come
to Washington and execute their mission
The approaching return of Gov Allen
to the United States has had the effect Of
reviving the old rumor of his intended
resignation as governor of Porto Rico.
The officials with whom he has had COM
munication, declare that he has not notl-
fed them of a fresh intention to resign.

PRIVATEERS BARRED
EVEN KRUGER DECLINES TO MAKE
USE OF THEM.
WOULD BE ONLY PIRACY.
UNITED STATES WOULD NOT
RECOGNIZE THEM.

Promoters Propose to MIR. Kruger to
Place Armed Privateers Upon the
Sens to Prey on British Commerce.
Even Poor Old Spain Did Not At
tempt This During the Recent
War-Civilized Nations Would Not
COuntenance the Step.
Brussels, July 6.-The Petit Bleu says
that Mr.. Kruger has lately refused to
entertain proposals to arm privateers. but
that the promoters are again urging the
Republic to notify the Powers that un-
less they intervene he will issue letters
of marque. In the event of Mr.. Kruger 5
continued refusal, the promoters propose
to act without authorization.
No Privateers, Says Washington.
Washington, July 6.-The report from
Brussels, that ex-President Kruger is be-
ing urged to notify the Powers that un-
less they intervene in the South Africa
contest he will commission privateers, is
not treated seriously here. 1t is well un-
derstood, as one outcome of the war with
ment will never again. except in the most
extraordinary emergency, issue letters of
marque, and the same reasons that inn
pei the government to this course un-
doubtedly would operate to prevent our
government from recognizing any such
warrants issued by any other nation, even
were that nation in full standing.
In the case of the Spanish war, both of
the belligerents by agreement refrained
from issuing commission to privateers,
and it now has been many years since
the flag of any respectable nation has
flown over such craft. In the case of
Mr.. Kruger, it is extremely doubtful
whether he would, if the issue were forced
in this way, be recognized as a de facto
president authorized to issue commissions
to privateers. That point would have to
be settled at the outset, and each nation,
whose commerce was affected or was
threatened by the privateers would de-
termne for itself his competency. 1t is
scarcely to be expected that they would
decide against their own commercial in
terests, so that Mr.. Kruger's privateers
would find it difficult to secure general
recognition.
The threat to send out privateers with
out President Kruger's consent is idle,
1t Is pointed out here that such craft
would be pirates, pure and simple, and
the civilized world would combine tc
sweep them from the seas, If they should
begin operations against the commerce oi
any nation.

ANTI-CATHOLIC LEGISLATION
Severely Condemned by the Pope in
a Recent Letter.

Rome, July 6.-The Pope has sent a
letter to the superiors and generals Of
the religious orders and institutions, con-
demning the French exceptional legisla-
tton against the congregations.
The letter says His Holiness is much
afflicted at the gravity of the offenses re-
Gently committed by some nations
against the religious orders and institu-
tions. The church has thus not only been
deeply injured in it's rights, but it's power
of action has been impaired. He who
touches the priests or monks touches the
apple of the church's eye.
The Pope severely reproves the recent
enactment of these laws by country to-
wards which the Pope has exhibited par
ticular solicitude, and His Holiness de-
sires to comfort these orders and insti-
tutions that are suffering from the hat
red of others towards the church. He
urges them to redouble their ardor, faith
prayer and good works, to initiate the
examples of the beloved founders of their
orders and to repeat with Christ the su-
blime words, Father, forgive them"
The letter concludes:
Console yourselves in God. The Pope
and te whole Catholic world are with
yOu,"

London, July 6.-The British cruisers
Minerva and Hyacinth sailed from Deven-
port for Gibraltar this afternoon with
the sole purpose of putting the respective

Belleville boilers. Both warships are Of
almost the same coal capacity, as they
are sister ships Members of the gov

PRINCE Won HOHENLOHE DEAD
Was BismarcI's Successor and Very
Friendly to Americans.


Berlin. July 6.-Prince Won Hohenlohe,
formerly German imperial chancellor died
at Ragatz, Switzerland. last evening.
Prince Won Hohenlohe's death was gem
orally unexpected here as he left Ber-
lin several weeks ago apparently in good
health, although his increasing weakness
was evident The prince arrived at Ra-
gatz extremely exhausted. His death is
attributed to the weakness of old age.
The arrangements for the transportat ton
of the body to Germany. and for the OBJ
sequies, are not yet definitely determined
upon, but it is expected that the remains
will be conveyed to the Hohenlohe an
cestral home at Schillingsfuerst, Batavia,
where the family vault is situated, and
where the body of Prince Won Hohen-
lohe'S wife is inferred. 1t is also expected
that Chancellor Won Buelow will break
his sea aside rest and attend the funeral
Although Emperor William has fixed
his departure on his trip to Norway for
Monday next, it is deemed likely that
His Majesty will once more postpone the
time of his starting on this trip in or
der to enable him to attend the obseQuies.
Owing to Emperor Williams relation
ship to Prince Won Hohenlohe. His Maj
esty always called the Prince "Uncle
Chodwig" 1t is not believed here that
the body of Prince Won Hohenlohe will
be brought to Berlin before being taken
to Schillingsfuerst.
Friendly to Americans.
The officials of the United States en-
hassy informed the correspondent of the
Associated Press that the death of the
g.. ka1
because of his uniform kndliness to-
wards Americans and American inter
ests.
Prince Won Hohenlohe's attitude all
through the chancellorship was fair and
conciliatory in regard to German-Ameri-
can relations. Although he was an ex-
tensive estate owner, he did not share
the agrarian hostility towards the Unit
ed States 1t was certainly owing in a
large measure to Prince Won Hohenlohe's S
friendly spirit, during several trying
years that Germany's relations with the
United States never departed from cor
diality He received many Americans and
was always friendly to them. At the
time of the death of United States Am
bassador Theodore B. Runyan in 1896
which occurred in the middle of the
night Secretary jackson went early in
the morning to inform the cabinet min
listers of the Ambassadors death, but
only found Prince Won Hohenlohe ready
to receive him.
Left Lengthy Memoirs.
The Lokal Anzeiger to-day says Prince
Won Hohenlohe left lengthy memoirs
ready for publication, which is expected
to occur soon. Part of the memoirs are
devoted to the defense of his policy as
chancellor
The evening papers print laudatory BIZ
ographies of Prince Won Hohenlohe. Only
the egrarian press mingles its laudatory
remarks with criticism, owing to the
economic views of the Prince during his
| lifetime.

SUING FOR DAUGHTERS SHARE.
Princess HatzfeIdt wants Larger
Portion of Huntington Estate.
San Eranclscn LnlX 6.-The Chronicle


Portion of Huntington Estate.
San Francisco, July 6.--The Chronicle
says:
From sources thoroughly well Informed
and entitled to credence comes the state
ment that Princess Hatzfeldt has al
ready begun legal proceedings. which,
though not technically will conest,
amount in reality to an attempt TO set
aside in part at least the last testament
of her foser father, Coils p. Hunting
ton.
Suit, IT Is said, was started in New
York some months ago, by Princess
Hatzfeldt for a daughters share of the
estate, based on the alleged contract en-
tered into by C. p. Huntington at the
time he took the Princess, then Clara
Prentice, from her mother the sister of
the first Mrs. Huntington, to support and
rear The action said to have been
brought is simply a suit to enforce a
contract. Filing of papers in the alleged
suit was suppressed, 1t is said, pre-
sumably for service.
