France Minister Seeking an Alliance The French minister of foreign affairs, "MIIanotaux, is making great efforts to stop the Spanish-American 1 war. It is alleged' Russia, Austi'ia and France are endeavoring to induce Germany aad Italy to join in a representation' President McKinley, declaring that the powers will induce Spain to grant the in.Tpnpndon of Cuba . Shoultl America refuse, iutervontion," it is further alleged, the powers .men tioned would send a fleet to rut Cuba uiuler'iuternational rule, as was dono in the case of the island of Crete, until the withdrawal of the Spanish forces and the constitution of a regular local government: - ' 1 " The First Pension.

HfilSlfPti)!, Short of Provisions the Spaniard Quickly. Swallowed the Bait SET FOR KIM BY SCHLEY. Entered the Harbor and Was Quickly Hemmed In by the American Fleet. Will Sever Get Out, Says Schley. By the most clever maneuvering tho j Comniodore allow:i.tho Spn'ird? to think he had left in dirgust. They took the bait and ran into tho harbor. , Com modore Schley moved down, and going close to the harbor he saw the Cristo- bal Colon, tho Marm leresa and two torpedo boais. He sat on the after triausrle ' of tha t. ui t-i tL ii t . Brooklyn until rfter tho discovery of the fleet and ho then went to breakfast. Eaying: "I have got them, and they will never get home. " ' On touching at Cuiacoa for the TVesl Indies Admiral Cervera expected to enter !San Juan do Porto Rico for coal and supplies. " On touching at Curacca for news, his plans were upsti by the receipt of dispatches telling him -that Hear Admiral Sampson Lad bombarded tho San Juan fortifications and was still in the neighborhood of Porto ilico. Thereupon Cervera sailed for the soutll coast of Cuba. Why ho entered San tiago harbor, instead of tho harbor cf JiONITOE MONTEPEY. (OrdoroJ to Manila to reinforce Admiral 'Dewey's fleot.) Cienfueg03, is not known. The Ameri- eau commanders vvera incl Itaed to think- the Spaniards would go to tho latter J port. It is certain that Cervera could . not have escaped from Santiago with-j out being discovered, for tho American scouts had been prowling about the port, and other scouts had not been far away. Cervera's - coal ship which fol lowed him from Curacoa to Santiago, was captured on tho 25th, .and at the very moment when the Queen llegent was cabling her congratulations, tho coils were tightening about him. The belief is that all othermove ments in the West Indies will be held in abejance until the Spanish squadron is disposed of. In case Saiitiago is at tacked nev3 of the battle, will be sent from Mole St Nicholas and Kingston, and the prizes and' wounded will be cent to Key West. What the outcome will be is a matter of conjecture whether Schley will bombard the harbor and forts, attempt ing to force an eutranco or whether he wiil await an attempt(on the part of the Spaniards to depart. New Tariff" Arrangement. The new French reciprocity agree ment makes tfye fallowingtariSf arrange ments in favor of America: Manufactur ed and prepared pork and meats re" kluced from a hundred francs to fifty, iwo liunarea pounas; iaru torty to twenty-tive; table fruit, canned meats, dried and pressed fruit, common woods, paving blocks, staves, hoop?, apples, pears, crushed, cut, dried minimum French rate of dutv,-reductions will bo half a franc; brandies and other spirits a dollar and seventy-five; works of art fifteen per cent, advalorem; -stilled wines and vermouth, thirty-five cents a gallon; no reduction on champagne. Slgsbee's Fine Prize. The British steamer Eestormel, was brought into Key West under her own steam by a'prize crew. She was cap tured by the auxiliary cruiser St. Paul, Capt. Sigsbee, while trying to put into Santiago de Cjiba with a cargo, of coal She earned 2,400 tons of. the best Welsh coal from Cardiff, presumably for Admiral Cervera's fleet. . Sickness at 31auila. , A dispatch from Manila, via Hong Kong, says: "The American warships are still ia th6 bay, - except a couple of. smaller ones, whjch are being used for patrol duty outside. Rear Admiral Dewey is losing men from disease' al most daily. Smallpox and dysentery are - said to be rife in the American squadron. , Mississippi's Sew Senator.

" Information comes from reliable sources,, both" in Rome and Madrid, that tho Pope made au earnest at tempt to induce Spain to sue for peace upon the bp.sis of the surrender of Cuba and the retention .of Porto Rico and the Philippines, and- that he told the Queen Regeat that he had good Tft5on to believe that the United States were willing to negotiate on that . - i t T basis, lie receiyeu oniy a curt repiy t?'lArrali. while his long letter which followed it has not yet met- with any response, much Jotae surprise and j grief of HiaHohaess. . j BRISK TRADK MOVEMENT. ports of Wheat and Corn Show Dc- "elded Improvement. j E. G. Dun & Company's weekly re view of trade says: The Dation' faces war with reviving volume of business. The West is doing its part and more, but at tho East also the volume of busi ness is now expanding. Without abate- rnenj; in any important line, the great outgo of wheat and corn continues to stimulate -business at tba AVsst, and railroad earnings showau increase over last year of 15. 1 per cent., while East: bound shipments fiom Chicago in' three weeks have been Sb8, 803 tens', against 150,312 last year,- and '384, 32 tons in 1892. This is largely J.ec. of the enormous movement of breadstus. Atlantic exportB of wueat,.. floir in eluded, have been 3.72G.442 bushVis for i the-week, against 1,530,607 last year, thouga racme exports were oulv; sa.'lS-t bushels against 314, 93o last veer: Wheat ! leceipts at the West do not diminish. but run far beyemd. those of a year ago for the week 4,633,253 bushels, agauist i 2,U03,1 3 last year r'orta from bth c In four weeks ex- coasts have been 18.-- 6J1.874 bushels, against 5,704,334 last year. . .; lhe marvol is still, the enormous for eign buving of' corn, exports having reached 5,550,595 bushels for the. week, against 1,5S4,511 last vear and in four j weeks the exports havo been 20,285,007 f bushels against .oG0.091 last vear.. Yet corn closes 3.37 lower for the 'week, al though wheat; after rising from. 1.56 to $1. 6o f or May, fell to $1. 46, while July options.fejl 1 cents.

Plate contracts. outside of the heavy demand for the. government, are, large, and include 5,600 tons for shipyards in Glasgow and L'elfast. - A better demand appears for textile goods, with slight advance in print cloths and a substantial gain in sales of staples. , , Wool sales during the week have been only 3,749,100 pouns, of whicu 2.439,100 were domestic, against C, 842, r 400 a 'year ago, : and 4,211,000 in the same week of 1892. v . . First Exchange of-Prisoners., On the 27th . the first exchange of prisoners between- the United "States and Spain was effected. Two Ameri can boats stood in Fort Harbor under a flag of truce. A colonel of the general. staff, with the British vice-consul, went on board the Spanish gunboat Marques Moline and proceeded to Morro castle, off which lay the tug Marques de Balboa, having on boafd the American' newspaper correspondents Harden Jones and Charles Thrall, for whom an exchange of ' prisoners was 'to be made. Messrs. Jones and Thrall were transferred to the Marques Moline, .which immediately hoisted a-white flag and went to meet the American vessel. Two boats were lowered from the American, and to themwere transferred the prisoners to be exchanged for the newspaper men. They were Col. Vin cent de Cortijo, Surgeon Major Sincoa Gorcia Julian and two private soldiers who were captured ,on board the steamer Argonauta. Government Contract foryCartridges Beginning on the 29th the Frankfdrd a'rsenal will discontinue the manu facture of all small ammunition except the cartridges for tbe Krag-Jorgenson1 rifles. The government has made a contract with tho Union Metallic Cart ridge Company and the Winchester RepeatinArms Compaay to furnish tuo 35-caliber Springfield rifle cart ridges and the 38-caliber revolver am munition. Privateering proposed. In the chamber of deputies at Madrid, Senor Cassel, director o5 the Imparcial, denounced the alleged acta of some of the American warships as be ing contrary to international law. He also moved'that a pension be granted to the family of the captain of the Reina Maria Cristina, who perished at Cavite. The minister of marine', Cap tain Aunoa, accepted tho propositioa. Ia the senate, Count Almeaas intro. duced tbe questioa of privateeriag, urging the government to adopt priva teering, "in view of the American pro ceedings, y The ministerfor foreign 'af fairs. Duke Almedovar de Rio declared the matter was inopportune and could not be debated. - .1 .-: :? Julet at Ilollo and Manila. The British secoad-cIas3 cruiserPique has arrived at Hong Kong from 'II oil o and Alaaila.' SJie reports all quiet at both places. The Spanish- garrison at Iloilo numbers 100 men, and" the place has no defences. The foreigners there are safe. Supplies are reaching Manila plentifully from the surrounding coun trv. There is no panic at Manila. The Spaniards are working upon the fortifi-r-itintm. hnt their, nuns are oTd and useless, aad they are short of ammuui: tion. IC'SfMlSIP Her Long Cruise Eventful Only in Changing Scenes. TROPICAL SUN TO ICY WINDS. The Crew Highly Enjoyed the Long Voyage of GG Day a--A Call to Oen . era! Quarters Sounded Only Once The Oregon left San Francisco March 19, an-iyed at Callao April 4; left there April 7, and passed Saady Point, April 21, ' arriving at Rio - Janeiro, April 30. The battleship - reaqhed Bahia, May 8," and torched- at Barbadoos, May 18. At the latter place the warship - was quar antined but bhe was only detained one elay. Unleaving the Uarbadoes the Oregon sailed almost directly north, going "to theiiortn of Porto llico about jlou miles.-. 100 nortneriy course wa$ continued until the Bermudas were sighted, when' she headed for the Flor ida coast.-1 ."

'During , the entire trip the crew expected momentarily to meet the Spanish Only once, however, was there a call to arms. This was -shortly after" midnight du leaving Rio Janeiro. As the Oregon was ploughing through the black equatorial sea, a dark object was discovered ahead, apparently giving chase. The . call . to .general quarters was sounded, the mea - rolled put of their berths,, with tho enthusiasm of boys on. a circus day; and. almost in stantly every gun was manned. The Oregon .left her course, aad circled around her black pursuer, only to find it a harmless bark. instead of a Span ish warship. . ,' - The- cruise through ;the Straits of Magellan was most interesting. It. was at this far southern point of the Amer ican heniisphere that the crew expected to receive a visit from the Spaniards. In many places the channel was very narrow ,ahd crooked, with - hidden bays and co yes, and back of them, moun tains towering into the clouds on either side. Moreover, they were in the land of icy winter. For more than a ihonth ihey had been sailing under the tropical skies, and now the cold blasts whistled among the. crags above them and the ice at night, lay on the decks. But the Oregon did not lag. - The engines were warmed up to their best work iand wherever it was safe and possible the Oregon bowled- along' at 15 knots, an hour. - The machinery worked well, and on occasions th3 speed was in creased three knots in a few minutes. -The Oregon is in first-class'sbapeand ready for another cruiso as long as the one:jsfc ended. The excellent coudi tiou c'llie me-u aitcr their (? days' voy age is perhaps even mere remarkable. Throughout the entiro trip there were no cases of serious illness on boai'd, and the men are a3 eager for immediate ac tivity as if they had jast como from a vacation in the mouutains. ' The Oregon picked up tho cruiser Marietta and the dynamite cruiser Njclberoy' between . Rio Janeiro' aad" Bahia, but -she parted com paay with them after a few hundred miles.; Captain Clarke said the crew of the Oregon had suffered much from the heat in passing twice through the tropics. . . ! . ' MUi ! TO SINK CERVKRA'S SHIPS. J. P. Holland Goes' to Washington with, a Submarine Boat Scheme. When the riews that Cervera and bis fleet were bottled up in the harbor of Santiago became pretty well confirmed, it was suggested to John P. Holland; the submarine boatman, that he could subnlit the practical value of his inyen-. tion to no better test than to takedier to Cuban waters, enter the harbor of Saatiago, destroy the mines aad siak the Spanish fleet with a neat hole in each of thein--just enough to sink her, not enough to. spoil her, because we want those ships ourselves. . Wheu the suggestioa was made, Mr. Holland said that tinder oertiia coadi tioas he was quite williag to uadertake tho job. . ' " The matter was discussed at-acoa- fereace of the officers of his compaay at 145 Brcadwaj'. The result'of the con ference was thht Mr Holland and Col. C. E. Creecy left for Washiagtoa to lay a plan, agreed upon at the conference, before the President and the Secretary of the Navy. , This is the plan: If the Governmsnt will jtransport the boat from the Erie Basin, "where it now is, to some point near the entrance to the harbor of Santiago,1 and a crew can be secured to man the boat. Mr. Holland will .undertake the job of sink ing, the Spanish fleet, if it be still in Santiago harbor, commanding the boat in person. If his offer be accepted, and he'is successful in his undertaking, ha will expect the Gy vernmeat to buy the boat. .. According to the pjau which Mr. Hollaad now . has ia miad, he will withdraw a short distance after he has blown up the mines, will submerge his boat and will make the trip ato the harbor iiader water. He is confident uiat he can get right under any ship he gelects for attack sorne time before any one in the harbor knows that the boat has passed the entrance ' . " The chief difficulty that Mr. Hollaad aati'cipates ia makiag his experimeat should the goverament accept his offer is to secure & crew for the boat. That the undertaking would be dangerous is admitted, but it is asserted that no oae oa the little boat would run as much risk of being killed as would the crew of a battleship in action Mr. Holland has no particular desire to be killed, and h expects, if tho plan is under taken, to live to tell about his expe- rieaces. - : ' n .Two More Correspondents Arrested, An official dispatch from Havana says that two American correspondents from Key West, named Widan and Robinson, have been arrested near Matanzas. ' . ' Change in England's-Pollcy. There has been a great change in England' war policy. Provisions were allowed to be put aboard Dewey'a transport '"Sefio" at Hong Kong. which sailed for Manila on the 30th.

Retribution Swiftly Meted-jBoth Con fessed Before Ascending the Impro - vised Scaffold. ' Miss Emma Harteell, a young lady of. Cabarrus, couaty, was brutally assauitetu by negroes on the 29th, and afterwards murdered. The first news of the tragedy was heard byMr. Fraak Pliarr from the lips of a young negro, who was poiag to town to tell about it. Mr. Pharr bus-; pected' this negro -and held him until officers arrived. " Iu the meantime the news had circu lated rapidly aad 'crowds of both 'towa aad "country , begaa gathcriag. The neero held by Mr. Pharr" was named Joe Kiser, aged 24 years, of Cabarrus county. Id a short time another npgro named Johnston? 'aged 20 years of Uincoln county,- had been arrested. . . Sheriff Buchanan and deputy drove to No. 1, township,' where. the men were, and arrested them and brought them to town. As he stopped- in front of-,tho jail,the mob " surrounded the bugy aad would have take a the "mea at once, but tbo sheriff said he "would kill the first man that laid his" aaudi- pa them. The prisoaers were placed iu thq cage, the stronghold of the jail, and; the. sheriff and. other officers stood guard at the foot'of the stairs. They did all they could to prevent' the jail being-forced, but -as tbey looked ou.t upon the sea "of determined, angry faces they realized . that nothing, but the blood of the ' guilty wou'ld- satisfy them. It was twenty minutes to JO o'clock when the mpb, unable any- longer to restrain its fury, broke down the jail door.- The sheriff and deputies were overpowered and the crowd rushed up the stairs toward the cell of the doomed men, . The lock was brokerf, the d3or opened and the men hauled forth4. The men were taken to a point be yond the three mije branch. They were remarkably cool considering that t bey-knew--they were going to a dreadful death.. They protested their'. innocence all along the way. Rev. . W. C. Alex ander, pastor of the .Presbyterian church, walked by. their side, talking to them aad "tiding to minister to them "spiritually. When f the il ado selected, for the lynching was reacbed, a halt was made. Mr. Alexander tried to si lence the crowd so ho could pray far Ihn d'nm'd men. .The criowd could not be quieted, so he prayed wtrie tho crowd continued its excited Hal k. The men were asked- if they had a parting worxLyto speak. They said -they we're not guilty, and that was.all. '-. ' A tree was found pn which were two limbs about three feet apart.' Over these the ropes were thrown. The men were mounted on two boxes about two feet high.- The1 noose was adjusted around each man's neck,- the box re moved, and the bodies dropped: A few minutes after the drop 10- ' shots were fired at the dangling bodies, riddling them with bullets. - The bodies hung within eighteen inches of each other, andibut for the trunk -of the tree their elbows would have touched. Their feet wore twelve or fourteen inches above the ground. The bodietf'were gruesoniodooking ob jects with their tongues hanging out of their mouths aad their, eyes wide open.
