ALFONSO IN ENGLAND.
Strong Escort of brisish Cruisers At.
 tend Him on the Way

Portsmouth, Eng. June 5.-The king of Spain arrived here this afternoon from Cherbourg on board the British royal yacht Victoria and Albert. The yacht was accompanied across the channel by q strong escort of British cruisers and torpedo boat destrOyers. The royal visitor was welcomed at the British naval headquarters by an imposing array of warships. a score of which fired royal salute as the Victoria and Albert passed through their lines. The young king, who wore the uniform of British gen. eral, with the ribbon of the Order of the Garter, stood on deck, evidently keenly enjoying the spectacle in spite of the fact that it was pouring rain. The Prince of Wales, representing King Edward. awaited the yacht at the quay side and immediately after the gangway was run up he went on board the Victoria and Albert and warmly welcomed the Spanish ruler. Their respective suites were then in. troduced and subsequently the mayor and corporation of Portsmouth pre- sented his majesty with an address Of welcome.

DIVERS PERIL.
Was Held Under Fifteen Feet of Water by His
 ArmOr.

Canton, Mo- June 5.-After being im- prisOned for "A hours, loaded down by a divers armor and under 15 feet of water Daniel Hayes has been brought to the surface in an unconscious and almost dying condition.
 He is professional diver and had been employed to remove the brush and debris from the immense pipe which serves at times of low water to drain Lima lake and transfer its sur plusage to the Mississippi river.
 While at work Hayes was sucked under the pile of refuse and over against powder in way which pre- vented him from loosening himself from the tangled hose which held him down.
 In signalling to the men in charge of the air pump he could not let them know his location as the air hose, be- ing wrapped around the rock, caused deceptive bubbles to come to the sur face.
 Major Neigh, engineer in charge of the river improvements, secured the country for diver to go to the rescue of Hayes, but was unable to find one until nearly 24 hours had elapsed.
 When, after an hours hard labor, the imprisoned diver was released his suit was found to be leaking, and he would have been drowned had the or deal lasted another half hour
 The agony that he passed through made him appear ten years older than when he disappeared from view.

LOG DISPUTE.
Aged Log Driver Who is Cause of Trouble Accom-.
 panied by Sheriff.

Woodstock, N. B., June 5.-The situ- ation along the St John river in the vicinity of St Leonard's and Van Buren, due to the log driving dispute, is not regarded here as being critical. Levi w. Pond, the aged log driving contractor, who has charge of bring ing down the logs for New Brunswick mills, and who, 1t is alleged. destroyed a boom belonging to the Van Buren Lumber Co a week ago yesterday, left for the up river country to-day. He had been in St John interviewing At torney-G General William Pugsley and some of the mill owners there. All concerned advised Pond to conduct himself within the law. Albion R. Foster of this town. deputy sheriff of Carleton county, accompanies Pond on his trip. The attorney general urged Foster to use his good offices with the Van Buren Lumber Go in the interest of freeing the river as much as possi- ble % that logs can be brought down before the water falls too low. It is understood that the Van Buren Co has ordered some of the booms changed to allow more room in the river.
 Allan Hammond, manager of the Van Buren Lumber Co, maintains that Ponds grievance is entirely per sonal one. Hammond says, however. that an attempt will be made to sum. mon a special session of the Maine legislature to consider bill to repeal the charter of the Madawaska Log Driving Co and of the Pond Boom Co, both of which are represented by Con- tractor Pond
