JOHN BULL SAYS NO
The CIayton-BuIwer Treaty
Must Stand.
England Won't c msent Either to AbrOgation @
Modification Without Satisfactory
Quid Pro Quo.
tBy the Associated Press. J

London. March 9.-The reply of tho
British Government 10 the note conveying
the amendments OF the United States to
the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty should be
formally delivered by the British Ambas-
sador at Washington to Secretary Hay
within 4 few days. The Foreign Office
here did not originally contemplate de-
laying the British reply until now. The
plan appears TO have been TO transmit
the answer previous to the date on
which the treaty lapsed, which, accord
ing to the British view of the case, would
have put the onus of it's lapsing on the
Senate. AS previously set forth in these
dispatches the main object of the Brit
ish Government throughout has been to
make an entirely new arrangement At
no stage OF the proceedings has there
been any inclination to accept the Sen
atc's amendments.
1t is understood here that the nature
OF the British Governments repIv has
already been informally communicated to
Secretary Hay Great Britain has no in
tcnticn OF modifying or abrogating the
Clayton Bulwer Treaty without a salts
factory Guild pro quo. That treaty. ac-
cOTding to the Foreign Office view Of tho
case. remains as much in force now as
The day 1t was signed. The speeches
made in the Senate do not disturb Down
ing street. They are dismissed with the
remark that treaties cannot be abro-
gated without the consent of both tho
contracting parties.
There is, however. an apparently cenu-
inc belief here, that satisfactory ar
rangement viii eventually be arrived at.
though Il is scarcely thought it could be
got INTO the requisite shape in time for
discussion at the extra session OF the
Senate Moreover. there is a freely ex
pressed disinclination on the part of the
British officials 10 commit themselves
TO any further treaties until they are
thoroughly assured Of the views the
Senate holds on the matter in question.

Florida VS.. Charles W. Furman. The case
involved title to Anastastia Island, in the
State Of Florida, consisting of about r.
500 acres. The State claims it under the
United States swamp land law, while Fur
man based his claim upon the alleged
grant of the island by the Spanish Gov

his in 1895. The opinion Of the Circuit
court for the Southern district Of Florida
was favorable to Furman, but today's

AND ROBBERY.
The Safe In an Ohio Town Blown TO
Pieces by a Gang OF Burglars-Over
100000 Worth OF Booty Secured.
Much of the Property Belong to
Baldwin University

Berea, Ohio, October 26-One OF the
boldest safe robberies ever perpetrated
in this vicinity occurred at an early
hour this morning in almost the heart
OF the village. The hardware store Of
Lawrence e Brightman was entered,
the large safe was wrecked and the rob-
bers made good their escape, carrying
with them booty aggregating more
than 100000.
Baldwin university bears the heaviest
loss. c. c. Brightman, the junior mem
Der of the firm, is also the treasurer
and a trustee of Baldwin university,
and all of the valuable papers of the
institution which were left in Bright
mans custody We're kept in the safe
Bonds, deeds, notes and mortgages Of
the university aggreSating 100000 in
value We're secured by the robbers.
Many Of the notes held by Baldwin
university were Of long standing and
bore numerous endorsements, making 6
it impossible to produce them in dupli-
cate. A diligent Search for the thieves
has been instituted, but as yet no clew
c1o ~ luSil VI lOSullly Ids
been established.
A fact regarded as most singular is
that the explosion OF the safe was
heard by parties residing half mile
north and more than that distance
southwest of the centre of the town.
while those residing in the business
district We're unaware that an eXplo-
sion had occurred
The force of the explosion was most
terrific. The safe was constructed on
fire and burglar proof principles, yet
the heavy doors were twisted from their
| hinges as if made Of paper, and large
pieces Of the safe doors were imbedde6
| in the walls of the building, one Sec
ton weighing fifty pounds being blowr
clear through a board partition into az
| adjoining room. Six men are believed

CROW TO GOTO SEA
The Admiral TO Take Command of the
European Squadron

Washington, October 26.-Secretary
Long announced today that Admiral A
S. Crowninshield, chief of the naviga-
tion bureau at present, would be de-
tached from that position and take
command Of the European squadron
next March, being relieved Of his pres
ent duties by Admiral Henry c. Taylor
The secretary said that this plan had
been arranged last April, when, upon
the expiration Of Admiral Crownin-
shields four years commission as chief
Of the navigation bureau, he was re-
commissioned for another term. The
date was fixed as March 9Th next, be-
cause on that day Admiral Crownin-
shields, who now holds the title ex-offi-
clio as head of the navigation bureau,
will become a rear admiral in fact
ment and promotion.
1t is the rule for an admiral to fly his
flag over the squadron in active service
before he retires. and this would not
be possible in Admiral Crowninshield' S
case were he to serve out his present
commission, for he will retire early in
1906
Rear Admiral Henry c. Taylor, now a
member of the general board, COM
manded the battleship Indiana in the
Santiago campaign. He declined to be
the head of the navigation bureau
when Admiral Crowninshield was ap-
pointed originally.
