The Sal of the Amuimvi and Ad miral Breu Confirmed Spanish Torpedo Boats on the Way Oregon Hoadod This Wav. LONDON, March 14. In the House of Commons today the parlimentary secretary for the foreign office, Cur zeon, replying to Michael Davitt and a Parnellite, who asked the government whether Great Britain had offered to lend men-of-war to the United States in the event of a conflict between the United States' and an European pow er, said the government had not made such an offer. Answering a series of questions, which Mr. Davitt put with a view of eliciting whether there had been any negotiations for an alliance between Great Britain and the United States, or whether Great Britain had offered to mediate in the Cuban crisis, he said these questions were of such a nature that it was inexpedient to reply to them. WASHINGTON, aMrch 14. The big armored cruiser Brooklyn arrived at Fortress Monroe this morning direct from La Guavra, Venezuela. She made a hne run up, and it is expected will await at Hampton Roads the ar rival of the Minneapolis and Columbia, which are Just waiting out at Philadel phia, This force will form an excellent nucleus for the projected "flying squad ron in case the department decided to form one. QUIET IN WASHINGTON. Conditions appear to be quieted on the surface at the Navy Department today. Probably this was because Secretary Long, Captain Crowlnshield, Chief of the navigation bureau, Engineer in Chief Melville, and other leading bu reau officers of the department were called to the capitol during this fore noon to inform the appropriations com mittee of the needs of the naval service in the matter of legislation. In' the va rious bureaus, however, there was a hum of industry. WE HAVE THE SHIPS. LONDON, March 14. The Brazilian minister confirms the report that the war ships Amazonius and Admiral Breu have been sold to the United States. The contract' is to be signed today and the Brazilian officers and erew now on the Amazonius will return to Brazil on the next mail steamer. WASHINGTON, March 14. The re ported sale to the United States of the two Brazilian cruisers, Airtazonas and Admiral Breu, was confirmed here this afternoon. Spain has not secured the O'Higgins and Chili will not sell her to Spain. BOARD OF INQUIRY WORK. HAVANA, March 14. The court of nquiry did a good deal of work yester day examining Ensign Powelson and such divers of the wrecking company as have been investigating the wreck. It is said today that these divers have been relieved from further work of this kind and instructed to pursue their labors under the wrecking contract. The court will have the services of the naval divers as heretofore, and, if necessary, can call again upon the civ ilian divers. It is thought that the court will close its labors here during the present week. This rumor, how ever, is not officially verified, the mem bers of the court insisting that they can fix no date for the conclusion of its sessions or their departure from Ha vana. WHERE THEN? MADRID, March 14. The Spanish torpedo squadron sailed from Cadiz last night for the Canary Islands. WHENCE? LISBON, March 14 The United States vessels Helena and Bancroft sailed to day, going in a southwesterly direction. ALLOWING THE SPANIARDS. LONDON, March 14. A special from Cadis announces that a Spanish" squad ron has sailed from that port. It Is un derstood the Spanish war ships are go ing to Porto Rico to await orders from General Blanco. Enthusiastic crowds bade farewell to the Spanish vessels. The departure of the United States cruisers Helena and Bancroft in a southwesterly direction from Lisbon will possibly be connected with the seemingly simultaneous departure of the Spanish squadron from Cadis, which is situated on the southwestern coast of Spain. There are rumors that the Bancroft and Helena might follow the Spanish ships across the Atlantic MUST BE A JUST CAUSE. The Daily Graphic editorially sug gests there is time still remaining that can be utilised to negotiate an agreement to refer the Maine matter to arbitration tq ascertain the "true facts." and to decide as to the nature of the indemnity if any be due to the United States. England," says the Daily Graphic, "would sympathize with & war for the liberation of Cuba, but if the United States goes to war. it must be in a just cause and after every effort to secure an honorable peace has been exhaust ed?" THE OREGON'S DESTINATION. SAN FRANCISCO, March 14. The battleship Oregon is lying in the stream with scow schooners all about her. From two of the scows coal is being discharged, from another powder is be ing hoisted on board, and from the fourth shells for the big guns. The ul timate destination of the Oregon is, presumably, the Atlantic coast. She is taking 100 tons of coal which, it is fig ured. will carry her to Callao. She will await orders at Valparaiso. NEWSPAPER BOATS. KEY WEST, March 14. The Ameri can yacht Bucanneer arrived this morning from Havana, and the United States coast survey vessel Bache sail ed for Havana. The newspaper dis patch boats Dewey, Echo and Confi dence arrived from Havana and shortly afterward returned to that port. AUXILIARY TO THE NAVY. NEW YORK, March 14. The board of auxiliary cruisers of the United States navy, which was appointed to acquire ships of the merchant marine for use in the event of the breaking out of war, met for organization today in the Havemeyer building, where the board has secured temporary quarters, The new board supersedes the office of United States inspector of merchant vessels, which has been held by Lieut. Commander J. IX J. Kelly. A member of the board said it had power to pre empt any vessel that had been con structed under a subsidy of Congress and was engaged In carrying the mails. All vessels will be carefully examined and no worn out hulks will be accepted. TO DEFEND NEW YORK. The 300 artillery men ordered from Ft. Hamilton and Ft. Wadsworth to Sandy Hook were transferred to the latter point today. Hundreds of sol diers and workmen were busy mount ing guns, building ramparts and laying other defenses at the Hook. PROCTOR'S BELIEF. WASHINGTON, March 14. Senator Proctor arrived here last night. He said: Concerning the cause 01 the Maine disaster, I feel free to" say that such information as I have obtained indi cates that the explosion was from the outside. It does not show that the Spanish government or any of its offi cials In Havana were participants in the crime. In the first place I do not think there were any mines in the har bor. I have not the slightest knowl edge of what the decision of the naval court of Inquiry will be or when it will reach Washington. Such information . . - , . a: . . j 1 as 1 nave is entirely 01 an unomci&i character." LITTLE GIRL RESCUED. Waa Taken From the Children's Home, and Found in Spartanburg. "Two or three days ago," the Spar tanburg Herald says. Policeman George received information from the Orphan's Home at Asheville that a young girl by the name of Minnie Lee Paris had been taken from that instl tution and was now living in Spartan burg with her grandmother. Upon in vestigation it was shown that the little girl was an intelligent, beautiful girl of eight years. Her mother was confined in the Spartanburg jail under a cnarge f adultery awaiting trial at the next term of court. The young girl was liv ing with her grandmother in a house of ill repute. "Policeman George and Constable J. A. Nash went on a search for the little tot. The little girl had aireatiy Deen taught to fear the officers and having been advised of their approach imme diately secreted herself. Under instruc tions of Magistrate Gunter every house where it was reported the little girl was, was carefully and vigorously searched. The magistrate finally after several hours found the girl hid under the house of her grandmother. When discovered and requested to come out her cries were heart-rending. She had been taught to love her humble home of vice and begged piteously to be al lowed to remain. The officers kindly but sternly carried the girl to one of the representatives of the Orphan's Home. The girl had been surrepti tiously taken from the Orphan's Home by her mother who has been long aban doned to sin and brought to Spartan burg, where she had but shame for her future." UNDER WATER. Western Ontario Towns Partly Sub merged Persona Homeless. TORpNTO, March 14. Dispatches from western Ontario tell of the over flow of the Grand and Thames rivers, causing serious damage along their valleys. Sections of London, Brantford and Gait are completely submerged to a depth of from five to seven feet. In London 1500 people are homeless. Bridges and buildings have been swept away. In Brantford the firemen and citizens fought the raging waters all day, but were finally beaten out, and west Brantford is a lake. At Gait a heavy loss was sustained by the business peo ple. The ice Jam in the Grand river gave way and the flood following tore away bridges and trees and wrecked a num ber of factories and private residences. TRAINMEN'S UNION. Sightseeing on Lookout Mountain and a Grand Ball to Finish With. CHATTANOOGA, March 14. The third day's meeting of the Southern Trainmen's union has been spent - in sight seeing by the 500 delegates and others in attendance at the meeting. An excursion was run to Lookout mountain where the visitors were en tertained. Tonight the meeting will close with a grand ball to the visiting chiefs and ladies. Grand Chief Arthur will lead, the grand march. Haven't the O'Higgins. LONDON. March 14. The Press as sociation says Spain has purchased the battleship O'Higgins, built by the Arm strongs for Chili, but . the Chilian charge d'affairs does not confirm this! He says the Chilian crew for the vessel is expected here next week to take the O'Higgins to Chill. 10 IVAR GONFEREKCE North Carolina Naval Re serves May Be Called On. ONE NEGRO REGIMENT THE POPULIST CONFERENCE ON WEDNESDAY. It Will be Warm-Railway Com mis doners' Meeting The Drought- Blind Tigers Lusk Anti-Ewart. RALEIGH, N. C, March 14. Spe cial. Commander Morton of the North Carolina naval reserves has gone to Washington, upon a call for a confer ence by the Secretary of the Navy. It is very apparent that the people here do not realize the imminence of war. People who come from the north and the south comment on this. There is talk about it all the while, but as of something very distant, almost as far away as the Greco-Turkish war. There is plenty of military spirit, how ever, and plenty of bravery. There are 9 companies on the application list for admission to the guard and out of these, the officials say, the increase of the force would come, present compan ies of course recruiting to the war strength of 100. Some companies have already recruited to that strength here and at Durham for instance. The quartermaster general remarked last night that in case of war one ne gro regiment would be raised in this State. The negroes of pure bolod enjoy immunity from yellow fever and would of course be of great value in service in Cuba. The danger of yellow fever is as great as that from bullets and shell; perhaps even greater. There is also the danger of bringing the fever into the United States. In case of war it will require the greatest care to prevent the latter result. Dr J. J. Mott arrived yesterday af ternoon and was Immediately driven to the executive mansion, it is understood for the purpose of a special confereatf ereace hg. with re Governor. Judge Purnell says he hopes Ewart will speedily be confirmed, otherwise, under section 803, revised statutes, he, as judge of the adjoining district, will have to hold courts in the Western district. Notice Is given by Chairman Caldwell that- there would be a meeting of the railway commission today. The commissioiv will probably take some action in the once much talked of "contempt" case against A. B. An drews, H. W. Miller and John B. Mun son. The question is whether anything will be done in the way of "punish ment." The passenger rate matter will come up. The Populist conference here Wednesday is apt to be a warm num ber. Dr. Cyrus Thompson, who is one of the instigators of the movement for it, says it will be very secret indeed. It is also said Senator Butler and Harry Skinner will be present. A year ago a Populist leader, of the Butler wing, said that at any gathering of Populists which Skinner presumed to enter he would be promptly shown the door. The position of Populist State Chairman Fountain is anomalous. He does not appear to be recognized as the real chairman at all by the anti-wing of the party. One of the latter says Foun tain was merely made chairman by Butler and that he is a figure-head. The Populists call for a conference was submitted to that sharp wire worker, J. C. L. Harris. Of course Gov. Russell is kept posted as to all Populist moves. They regard him as one of their "very own," The Superior court judge here con firms the sale of the Castle Hayne phosphate mine property, 800 acres, to W. H. Chadbourn of Wilmington. He thought when he bid it in for $16,000 that the penitentiary would buy it, but John R. Smith did not have the money, so that plan fell through. The Supreme court goes to work on the sixth district docket, on which there are but little over half a dozen cases. The people of Atlanta are working like beavers to secure the location of the federal prison at that point. There was much comment on last year's drought, which did not begin un til August. That of the present year has already begun. The "blind tigers" in this city are working a new racket. After bearing a good many trials their operators have gotten an idea that there must be an actual sale of whiskey for money to make a violation of the law. So they have one room in which a check Is sold for 10 cents; then this check is taken into another room where a drink is given in exchange for it. Some of these offenders are to be tried today. The moonshiners in New Light town ship, this county, have also devised, something new. Two stills there are for rent. A man gets ready and then say on Friday night a still is brought to him. He works it continuously- 48 hours and uses his material. Then it is removed and word is sent the revenue officers. The latter are shown the place where it was. Of course this is a blind. They watch that place afterwards, but never find the still. V. S. Lusk passed here Sunday on his way east after more anti-Ewart in formation. It is declared by the. Republicans that if there is Congressional fusion with the Populists and the 4th and 7th districts, as at present, fall to the PopuMsts, Stroud and Shuford can't be elected, simply because Republicans wont vote for them. It is no secret that John Nichols hopes and expects to be the Republican nominee for the Fourth district. Comment is made on the fact that the 2V4 per cent, offered for the lease of the Atlantic & North Carolina railway is a very satisfactory rate. The proposition of W. J. Best to take it was to pay only 2 per cent., without interest on the bond. The new proposition covers all interest. GONE SPANISH MINISTER TALKS THINKS THE MAINE EXPLOS ION WAS INTERNAL. Says the Report of the Spanish Board Will Not bo Known Until it Reaches Madrid. WASHINGTON, March 14. The fcpanisn ministers attention was today called to the reports from Spain as to the sailing of the Spanish torpedo fleet for Havana and to the slg nificance which as been attched in this country to this movement. The minis ter said the movement of the torpedo craft had been long contemplated, and even before he left Madrid the Queen Rgent had bid goodbye to the captain of the fleet. Their coming had no rela tion whatever, he declared, to recent conditions as they were wanted for work along the Cuban coast. The minister has received no intinia tion as to the findings of the Spanish naval commission which is investigat ing the Maine disaster. He says this commission is proceeding wth the same formally and secrecy as the United States court of inquiry and that no in timation of its findings will be Justi fled until the formal report is present ed to the Spanish government. Polo added his belief, however, that there was no doubt the Spanish commission will report that the Maine explosion was due to an accident and said he was convinced that this also would be the conclusion reached by the people in this country when all the facts in the mat ter were made known. THE EWART HEARING. An Important Witness Tomorrow- Butler's Position. WASHINGTON, March 14. Special The sub-committee of the Senate judi ciary committee will tomorrow examine a very important witness in opposition to the confirmation of Judge H. G. Ew art. The nature of this testimony ii unknown, but it is intimated by those who oppose the confirmation of Ewart that It will make his confirmation im possible, and may result in the with- draw-al of the nomination by the Pres ident. Judge Ewart's friends give no credit to these rumors, and declare that his confirmation is only a question of time. It may be said that Senator Butler believes that he has ample evidence to insure Ewart's defeat, and it is known that he intends continuing the fight indefinitely if necessary.

Spencer, journalist of the Senate, who died last Friday. ASSISTANT SURGEONS NEEDED Places Wide Open For Young Doctors to Fill. WASHINGTON, March 12. The sur geon general of the navy has recom mended that authority be granted im mediately for enlisting acting assist ant surgeons for service on ships to be placed in service and on auxiliary cruisers that may be impressed by the government. The lower grade of the medical corps, he says, has already 18 vacancies which the young doctors of the country apparently are not over anxious to fill. "King Lear." S. H. Clark of the University of Chi cago gave a reading of "King Lear" at the Asheville College for Young Wo men Saturday evening. Mr. Clark pos sesses a voice agreeable in strength and consonance and quite naturally ex ercises a dramatic proclivity, a pre requisite to a reading of the tragedy. The reading was well attended and ap preciated to a very marked degree. Heir tea Million. Among the bequests in the will of the late Amos R. Eno of New York, which was probated in that city last week, was one to his grandson, Gifford Pinchot, amounting to near $1,000,000.

LONDON, March 14. Senor Domingo Gana, Chilian minister at Washington, has been appointed minister plenipo tentiary to the court of St. James. y t is Unofficially Known to the President A $10,000,000 INDEMNITY THAT WILL BE DEMANDED THROUGH WOODFORD. The Administration Willing to Arbi trate if the Country and Congress Will Consent- ST PAUL, March 14. The Globe's Washington special says: The Presi dent and cabinet know, unofficially, the result of the Maine inquiry. They are prepared to act. They have canvassed the course of events, so far as they can foresee them, and have formulated a policy to meet the emergency. The forecast of events, as viewed by the President and his cabinet can be out lined thus: 1. The board of inquiry will report this week that the explosion was exter nal, 2. The President will immediately, through Minister Woodford, demand from Spain an indemnification of $10, 000,000. 3. Spain is expected to reply, express ing her willingness to pay if she is re sponsible, but maintaining that her own investigation shows the explosion was internal and purely accidental. She therefore will suggest a reference to an international board of afbitration. 4. In such an event the administra' tion will be disposed to comply with the suggestion unless there is an emeute in Havana or an irrisistable de mand for war sweeps through Con gress. 5. If Congress acquiesces in the sug gestion, the attempt will be made to adjourn that body and leave the whole matter in the President's hands. 6. It is expected a large majority of congressmen wm claim mat such a matter of honor cannot be arbitrated. It is further expected that the leaders of both Houses, including Senator Da vis of Minnesota, will favor arbitration. SULPHUR IN STEAD OF QUININE. It Helps the Starving .Cubans but is Likely to be Prohibited. HAVANA. March 12. Dr. Lesser of the Red Cross, who is treating the re- concentrados has made an interesting discovery in the treatment of the fam ine plague. It is that sulphur takes the place of quinine, is more effective and infinitely cheaper and does not yet come under the ban put. upon quinine, which the government will not allow to be shipped to the reconcentrados in the interior on the plea that it is smug gled to the insurgents. When the coun cil finds that sulphur is one of the chief needs of the dying reconcentrados they will possibly prohibit the shipment, on the plea that it is one xf the compo nent parts of gunpowder. N. Y. Jour nal. Killed Wife and Himself. SAN FRANCISCO, March 14. S. Night Andrew Schuller, a financial broker, fatally shot his wife, and com mitted suicide. It is believed the fatal ity was caused by a dispute over busi ness affairs. Schuller, who was 70 years of age, was separated from his wife. Shot a Giant Negro. NEW ORLEANS, March 14.
