Reserves in Towns Near Brest to
Be Held Ready.
ENGLISH PRESS IS DEFIANT
Faslloda Situation Provokes Discussion.
Naval Reserves Said to Have Been
Ordered to be in Readiness for Service.
England Will Not Shrink from Any-
thing That May Come.
Paris, Oct. 21.—~A dispatch from Brest
to the Aurore says that orders have
been issued for the mobilization of five
local classes of reserves. The mayors
upon whom the orders were served
were informed, however, that the men
would-only be held in readiness for
service and not be called out definitely
until telegraphic instructions to that
effect were received.
The Matin says if any unfriendly act
is committed England will be the de—
linquent, because she has divided
Egypt with every nation except
France, which had the most right
there.
The Echo de Paris says that the
military preparations which are being
made do not mean that the government
nourishes bellicose intentions, but cer-
tain precautions are necessary against
an enemy who is known to be unscru-
pulous.
London, Oct. 21.-—-The speech deliver—
ed at North Shields Wednesday by Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach, chancellor of
the exchequer, in which he declared
that there were greater evils than war,
and that England would not shrink
from anything that might come, has
further stimulated discussion of the?
Fashoda. situation. Nearly all of the
afternoon newspapers contain leading
articles on the subject.
The Pall Mall Gazette’s article is
headed “Worse Things Than Vv’ar,”
and points out the advantages that
England would be likely to gain In
case of war.
The St. James Gazette says: “There
is reason for England to be calm, not
because of the reports that France is
arming, which we do not believe, but
because we are as ready with our na—
tional defences as ever in our his-
tory.”
The Westminster Gazette praises the
cabinet council’s ,skilful management
of the Fashoda affair and says: “Pub-
lic opinion. though firm concerning
the substance of the dispute, requires
Lord Salisbury to do nothing to in-
crease France’s dicuflilties.”
Berlin, Oct. 21.—The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Cologne Gazette,
in a dispatch to that paper on the po-
litical situation, says: “Here also inter-
est in the Nile question is rapidly in-
creasing, and Russia’s conduct in this
matter will conform to the expecta-
tions formed in connection with her a1-
1iance with France.”
According to the Gazette’s corre-
spondent, the Russian finance minis-
ter, acting in concert with Count Mur-
avieff, minister of foreign affairs, has
attempted to raise a. large loan in
Paris, and aasimilar attempt will be
made in Berlin.
Czar’s Peace Idea. Indorsed.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 21.—At the
meeting of the House of Deputies of
the Episcopal convention, a letter was
agreed upon to the Czar of Russia,
statitng that the general' convention
hails with joy the great peace mani-
festo issued by the Czar. The letter
was agreed to 270' to '41. A further res-
olution favored. instructions to the
United , States commissioner to the
Czar’s ConferenCe favoring the estab-
lishment of a permanent international
court for the settlement of disputes
which may arise between nations.
There were objections to this plan and
it was tabled, 193 to 79.
The Rev. B. R. Taylor of Los An-
geles said' that in view of the action
grelative to the Czar of Russia it was
eminently proper that the house adopt
the ‘pending resolution expressing
thanks to Great Britain for the sympé
athy shown toward the United States
in the recent war with Spain. The
resolution aroused spirited controver-
sy, but was carried.
By unanimous vote, the house adop-
'ted a resolution fixing Tuesday next,
October 25, as the day of final adjourn-
ment, the cvlosing exercises to occur
at 8 p. m.

lvely, Matanzas and Nuevitas.

The

' Japaneso Life Insurance.
Vancouver, B. C., Oct. 21.——'I‘he Hi-
ogo' Japan News says that, with the
exception of the Meiji and Teikuku and
Kyosai Life Insurance Company, every
life insurance company in Japan is in
difficulties, owing to their basing their
actuary tables too closely on British
and American lines. None of them
can pay the claims against them.
Every two or three months, owing to
enormous disasters, involving great
loss of life, some insurance company
suspends paying. As there is no sys-
tem of depositing guarantees with the
government, holders or heirs lose their
benefit, and extensive frauds are sug-
gested.

Chicago, October 21.—The weather
for the last day of the Chicago prnce
jubilee was even worse, if pos/iblc,
than that of the preceding three/days.
Rain fell fitfully, and a. cold/breeze
blew constantly. Preceding fife chief.
.event, the railway employer/5’ recep-
tion to the President, Mr. /McKinley
spent the time quietly at the house of
Capt. McWilliams, receiving only a few
callers. At 1:30 p. m. the president
was driven to the First Regiment ar—
mory, where, with Mayor zerrison, he
was received by a large gathering of
railroad employees. After the recep-
tion the president addressed the rail-
road men, eliciting from them the
warmest applause. The railroad re-
ception at the armory was President
McKinley’s last public appearance in
Chicago during the jubilee, wet weath-
the postpone-
ment of the bicycle parade.
The President and his party started
last night on their trip home to Wash-
ington. The president will make
speeches in Indiana and Ohio and will
spend two days on the trip, reaching
Washington Saturday afternoon.
On Sunday the president will go to
the peace celebration held by the
Protestant Episcopal church convert-
tion, in Washington, and on Tuesday
he will leave for Philadelphia to spend
two days at the peace jubilee in the
Quaker City. As soon as this is over
the president expects to return to
Washington and begin work on his
annual message, for he has two weeks
less time this year to prepare it than
last year.
THOUSANDS DROWNED-
Terrible Loss of Life by the Recent
Floods in Japan.
Vancouver, B. C., Oct. 21.——Disas-
trous typhoons, sandstorms and floods
have caused a fearful loss of life and
property in the Orient. In the district
watered by the river Fcng, in Japan,
hundreds of villages have been swept
away and two thousand people have
been drowned. Another report says
two hundred and fifty towns are under
water. Thousands of refugees are
flocking to the cities. The Ishkiari
river has also overflowed, drowning
over one thousand people. Seven pre-
fectures were destroyed.
In a terrible typhoon off Formosa,
happening the same time as the floods,
great damage to shipping was done. At
Ternani eight junks were driven to sea
and lost. The steamer Renso Maru
was piled up on shore.
Among the ships wrecked was the
American bark Comet. The ship was
abandoned and the crew saved. The
Steamer Cowrie is partially wrecked.
The French steamer Homow is wreck-
ed on the beach near Amoy. The Ger-
man steamer Trinidad, formerly of the
Cunard line, was abandoned in the
open sea.
Homeward bound passengers state
they passed through twenty miles of
abandoned wrecks, chiefly Chinese
junks. The loss of life must have been
enormous.
Arrangements in the Yukon District.
Seattle, October 21.——The distribution
of United States troops in the Yukon
district for the winter will be as fol-
lows: Lieut. Edwin Bell, with thirty-
five men, at Rampart City; Lieut. Mc-
Manus, with seventy-five men, at Cir-
cle City; a company will be left at Fort
Yukon, and Capt. Richardson will
make his headquarters, with forty—five
men, at Eagle City.
Capt. E. S. Walker will remain at
St. Michael with seventy-eight men.
He will keep in close touch with the
Golvin Bay new mining district, and
should any call for relief be sent from
Kotzebue Sound he will co-operate
with the reindeer superintendent in al-
leviating. the trouble. .
Thre are ample stores at St. Michael
for all purposes, and it is believed that
the winter will pass without any desti-
tution. About 300 men, employes of
the different transportation companies,
will winter at St. Michael.
' England's rosition in China.
Vancouver. B. 0, October 21.—-Ad—
vices from China say that Great Bri-
tain is strengthening her position. The
China Mail learns that four new gun-
boats will shortly be sent out to Hong
Kong in pieces, to be fitted up in the
dock yards.
The 'names of the gunboats are"the
VVoodlark, the Woodcock. Sandpiper
and Snipe. One boat will make her
headquarters at Shanghai and one at
Canton, while the remaining two will
be retained in the fleet reserve at
Hong Kong.
Two thousand Amur gold miners who
were reported by the last mail as be—
ing in active opposition to‘ the new
Manchurian railway being built by
Russians, have been. reinforced by
5,000 disbanded soldiers, and a rising
appears imminent.

Empress of Japan, just arrived from
Hong Kong, brings word that the ho..-
pital ship Rio de Janeiro left Manila
September 16, and is now due at San
Francisco with 450 men afflicted with
dysentery ’on board. Two died on the
way from Manila to Hong Kong, and

A Long Dispatch Received From

PART NOT MADE PUBLIC
missioners. Relations “it: the Insur-
gents. The Spanish Story of an Engage-
ment. Witl‘ Insurgent Vessels Not. Ile-
lieved.
Washington, October 21.—Gen. Otis,
the United States military commander
in the Philippines, has cabled to the
War Department a long dispatch _re-
garding the conditions in Manila and
the Philippines. The dispatch relates
matters which bear on the negotiations
pending in Paris, and will be cabled to
the United States Peace Commission-
ers. ~
The War Department has posted the
following bulletin of the dispatch:
Under date of Oct. 19, Gen. Otis ca-
bled the War Department: “The situa-
tion in Luzon somewhat improved.
Influence of Filipinos of education and
property not desiring independent gov-
ernment, but hostile to Spain, gaining
ascendancy in revolutionary councils.
Promising nothingybut enforcing the
law. Complications seriously affect in-
ter-island commerce and diminish rev-
enue.
" Affairs progressing favorably,
though sick report increasing, ow-
ing mostly to carelessness of en-
listed men. Health of officers
good . Condition of city and
facilities for quartering troops improv-
ing. Fever decreasing. Intestinal
troubles about the same. Many slight
ailments; smallpox apparently arrest-
ed. During the month twenty-eight
deaths; eight smallpox, eight typhoid,
five malarial and intestinal complaints;
three accidental."
lien. Otis cabled considerably more
than the above, but the department,
does not deem it advisable to 'make the
other portions of the dispatch public,
because of its bearing upon the peace
negotiations. It contains suggestions
by Gen. Otis regarding the disposition
of the Philippines and also information
about the insurgents.
The Spanish report of a naval battle
between Rear-Admiral Dewey’s vessels
ippines is received with incredulity in
both the Navy and War Departments
here. If there has been any recent
action, Rear-Admiral Dewey has failed
to mention it, and neither Gen. Otis
nor United States Consul Wildman has
regarded it as worthy of notice.
It is believed at the navy department
that the Spanish authorities refer to
the seizure of the little steamer Abby
by the dispatch boat McCuliloch on
September 2. This steamer was of
American register, though formerly
known as the Pasig. It was reported
.to Rear Admiral Dewey that she was
bringing arms and supplies of war to
the insurgents. He sent the McCulloch
to stop this movement, but when the
cutter found the Abby in Batanzas
bay the latter vessel had landed her
cargo of arms and the insurgents rc-
fused to give them up. Thereupon the
Abby was seized and taken by the Me-
Culloch to Manila. This affair could
not be dignified by the name of a naval
engagement, and Rear Admiral Dewey,
in reporting the seizure to the navy de-
partment, made little of it.
It is possible that there have been
similar incidents in the islands of Cebu
or Panay not deemed worthy of report
as it has been alleged that some in-
surgent vessels have been carrying
arms to spread the insurrection in
those islands, and Rear-Admiral Dew-
ey would have taken action to repress
them. But the reports to the Navy
Department show that it is absurd to
speak of an insurgent navy seriously,
for the entire force consists of a few
schooners and one or two little coast-
ing steamers. The explanation of the
Admiral’s interference with these ves—
sels in their operations is a desire on
his part to maintatin the status quo
in the Philippines pending the conclu-
sion of the Peace Commission’s work
in Paris.
It is regarded here as not surprising
that the Spanish cabinet should try
to make much of any incident that
could be twisted into a demonstration
of actual hostilities between the occu-
pying American forces in the Philip-
pines and the insurgents.
:The Peace Negotiations.
Paris, October 21. —— The Spanish
Peace Commissioners have not yet re-
ceived from Madrid either instruction
or permission to relinquish Cuban sov-
ereignty, without seeking to attach
some condition providing for the as—
sumption of the Cuban debt by the
United States. If they remain of
their present mind and act under their
present instructions, the Spaniards will
not, at to-day's meeting, acquiesce to
the United States’ position. They re-
gard the situation as calculated to ex-
cite pity for Spain, and are not averse
to exciting sympathy.
— The Spanish Commissioners say that
the American answer to their Cuban
debt propositions is very long, and
that they have not yet had time to
mediate fully upon it. .They intend
to make another written presentment,
and expect an extended discussion
United .
thereon.
England’s Trouble in China'
Hong Kong, Oct. 21.——Canton advices
say that the magistrate at Sunon ape
' plied to the authorities at Canton for
(soldiers to subdue the bad characters
in that district, and that 500 trooos
were at once dispatched— there. The
district includes part of Great Britain’s
new territory. Reports continue to be
received of the collection of funds for
the purpose of arming the population
of’Sunon to resist the British.
