Spanish Hatred of British Shown at
Visit to CoruDna

LONDON. April 12.-Ouce upon a time
when the British warships visited Spanish
ports they were always made welcome and
officers and men used to have good times
ashore All this is nov changed since
the belief has seized the Spanish people
that the British Government prevented
Europe from helping Spain against the
United States
1t is nowadays regarded as unsafe for
an Englishman to 20 about in many Span
ish towns after dark. and without excep-
tion the newspapers are furiously Anglo
phobe. The feeling of hatred found fresh
vent at the beginning of this week. when
the British Channel squadron visited
Corunna The British blueiackets were
allowed the customary shore leave. They
found themselves boycotted.
The men were preparing TO resent this.
when their officers interviewed and all
we're sent back to the ships and the
squadron left the port two days earlier
than had been intended.

WASHINGTON, Nov 2s-Neither Secre-
tary Hay nor Root was at the Cabinet
meeting to-day and the session was devoted
to minor matters.
The President to-day settled the long
pending case of Paymaster John Clyde
Sullivan, of the navy, by disapproving the
adverse findings Of the board which ex-
amined him for promotion. This officer
recently was restored to the navy by an
act of Congress, and when examined for
promotion was reported to be mentally
morally, physically and professionally un-
fit for such advancement. The Presidents
action leaves his presect status in the navy
unchanged.
Minister Hunter, at Guatemala City has
cabled the State Department that his son

four years of age, is in business on his

he asks Is that Mr.. Bailey, the secretary
of the legation be allowed to testify before
the Guatemalan courts. This permission
has already been granted by the depart
ment

ment at Liverpool.

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-The Board of Agri-
culture has excluded cattle from the States
named in the quarantine proclamation is
sued by the United States secretary of ag-
riculture The exclusion has caused feel
ing almost amounting to CONSERVATION in
the shipping and meat trades. Fears are
expressed that the Introduction may be ex-
tended to imports from other United States
ports, which would result in a great rise
in the price of meat, only few steam
ers have large refrigeration space for dead
meat. The Board of Agriculture is exercis-
ing the utmost precaution. The steamer
Sachem, which arrived in the Mersey from
Boston yesterday with cargo of cattle and
sheep, was not allowed to discharge. The
animals were all scrutinized by experts and
no disease was found among them, but they
will all be re-examined after an interval
of forty-eight hours.
The action of the United States has
caused excitement in Liverpool. The Mer-
sey dock board derives revenue from the
slaughter of Boston cattle at Birkenhead.
Manager Lairages, of the board, says the
restriction will have far-reaching conse-
auences and that possibly the cargoes OF

cording 10 evidence, had been distributed
among the nineteen members of the com
bine." Where did this money come from?
That was the question the grand jury want
ed answered, and. believing that Kelly
could furnish the answer, he was indicted
on Sept. 8. He was at the Four Courts
when the indictment was made against him.
A deputy sheriff told him he was wanted.
Kelly asked permission TO run over to the
Council chamber TO attend TO an important
matter, saying: IF you need me before I
get back telephone me at the House OF
Delegates" That was the last seen OF
him by any officers Of the law until his
arrest in Philadelphia to-day.
The statute of limitations covering the
city lighting deal becomes effective to-day,
and unless indictments are returned before
midnight against those who are supposed

will be too late.
News of her husbands arrest was con-
veyed to Mrs. Kelly. She was greatly sur
prised. but calmed herself and said: Tho
