THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, . MAY any of our ships utterly helpless or beyond the aid of towing during the fleéts’ cruising of the past month. Such accidents, how- ever, are quite within the bounds of poss!- bility. With such tender machines as tor- pedo boats doing hard duty in all kinds of weather, accidents even come into the list of probabilities which naval commanders have to count upon. With @ base in the enemy’s territory with a harbor of refuge and a coaling station within twenty miles of the cruising grounds, Admiral Sampson's task, arduous at its best, will be made a very great deal easier. But such a base can only be ob- tained through co-operation with the army, as the force of marines at the disposal of the admirai is not large enough to cope with the possible strerigth that Captain jeneral Blanco could concentrate on short notice. Then, while the army of the United States is operating on shore, it Is safe to say the naval gunners will not be idle. Few Incidents on Cruise. During the week's cruise of the flagship New York from Matanzas toward the east- ern end of Cuba and back there were few incidents of interest.” Everything centered in the news from Commodore Schley, and disappointment was visible in every face when It became géterally known that the commodore was mistaken in thinking he had Admiral Cervera bottled up at Cien- fuegos, but this feeling of disappointment soon gave way to renewed enthusiasm when news was received from Santiago de Cuba. This really was more acceptable than the reports from Cienfuegos, for had Admiral Cervera succeeded in effecting a landing at Cienfuegos he would most likely have been able to transport his alleged cargo of arms and ammunition to Havana, while from Santiago de Cuba it will be almost impos- sible for him to do so. During the first few days out from Key West there was a heavy_sea, which made life miserable for the torpedo boats Rogers and Foote, and which made the monitors roll very heavily. The amare kind of a lookout was kept, and more than once the fleet went into battle formation, owing to over anxiety upon the part of some man cn the lookout in the tops, who thought he saw the smoke of five Spanish warships on the horizon. Absolutely no lights were shown at night, and signals were éorstantly exchanged be- tween the flagship and the scouts. The lat- ter, generally, were the New Orleans, May- flower and Machias.

POWERS WILL-KEEP THEIR HANDS OFF Belligerents Left to Solve Their Own Difficulty. THE GOVERNING REASONS The diplomatic representatives in Wash- ington of the great powers of Europe with- out exception hold the view that there is positively no chance of foreign intervention in the present war and that there are at present no prospects of peace overtures, through arbitration or othér tender of good offices from foreign sources. This view was stated today at three of the leading embas- sies, representing the most influential pow- ers of the world. It was given with added emphasis in view of the constant reitera- tion from London and other foreign sources that some sort of foreign intervention to- ward terminating the war was likely to develop. A distingufshed member of the corps, representing one of the continental. powers which has much to do in shaping international relations, summed up the gen- eral view entertained in diplomatic circles here substantially as follows: No Prospect of Interventt: In short, the two belligerents are ‘being left to solve their own difficulty, and the authorities here are fully advised that they need have no apprehension of foreign inter- ference from any quarter. This leaves the United States government entirely free from the consideration of any possible foreign entanglement. The reports that American occupation of the Philippines, Porto Rico or Hawaii might lead to con- certed action of the powers or from some of them is not borne out by any official ad- vices from the other side, which show in- stead that there is a consistant determina- tion to maintain the present policy of inac- tion. - ‘The Course of Great Brita: Referring to the attitude ofthe several powers, it was stated that the course of Great Britain, in its friendly demonstra- tions toward the United States, was at- tracting much attention in official quar- ters. It was looked upon as entirely nat- ural that the United States should view this with satisfaction, as friendly demon- strations were particularly agreeable when a nation was at war. But the continental Powers are convinced that no permanent entente is possible between Great Britain and the United States. They feel that the sentiment for such an alliance is confined to the upper classes“in this -country, but that the rank and. file of the people, par- ticularly the 20,000,000, Irishmen and 10,- 000,000 Germans, are not in favor ef it and would constitute an influence quite suffi- cient to inake it out of the question.” In view of the attitude of Great Britain it was evident that she would not take part in any overtures for mediation or peace should they develop In the future. Germany's Position. The position of Germany, it was pointed out, was equally friendly to the United States, although it had not taken the form of any conspicuous demonstrations, as in England. The speech of Emperor William in closing the reichstag recently expressed the determination to maintain strict neu- trality and unbroken friendship for both belligerent powers. ‘This, coming from the emperor, it was explained, meant much more than a casual utterance and fixed the friendly status.of Germany with more force than a dozen declarations of neu- trality issued by the foreign office. Ger- many has never issued neutrality declara- tions, her policy being against them, as was shown during the China-Japan war and the Turco-Grecian war. During those wars, as in the present, Germany main- tained strict ridutrality without expressing that policy in a formal decree. Austria With Germany. As to Austria, it was said that her for- eign policy was maintained along the same lin Germany’ Being members of the dreibund, they heve like interests and pol- icies on all foreign questions. Moreover, Austria is torn with internal dissensions, ané is not in a position to take an aggres- sive position in cutside affairs. The people of Austria-Hungary have most friendly feelings toward the United States, respect- ing and sdmiring Americans for thelr en- terprise. Any adverse sentiment, it is said, is confined wholly to the court circles, and these circles ar> small and practically with- out influence upon the masses of the peo- ple. Because of family relations the court circle of Austria is sumewhat inclined to- ward Spain, but it is powerless to give ex- pression to that friendship so long as the pecple entertain a ccrtrary view. Italy is much in the same position as Avstria, being a member of the dreibund, with a foreign policy akin to that of Ger- meny. France Most Deeply Interested. France is regarded as more deeply inter- ested in the pres-nt conflict than any other country, but thus far it is said to be the irterest of <n olLserver. Despite all con- trary reports, it is sald that France has given repeated evidences of her purpose to maintain the strictest neutrality. But the war touches her more directly than it does any other foreign power. It has already caused a resentment which affects her trade, and it threatens to have a most serious effe:t on the coming French expo- sition. From official French sources it is shown that during the six weeks from April 1 to May 9 French exportations to the United States fell off to the enormous amount of 25,000,000 francs, while during the same time American exports of toois, machinery and agricultural implements to France fell off 26,000,000 francs. These decreases aro shown by a comparison of the exports of six weeks of this year with the correspond- ing six weeks of last year. The French authorities view this immense reduction in commerce with alarm, and they ascribe it first, to the war, and, second, to the feeling which has arisen between France and the United States. This condition appeals so directly to the French government that it is exerting every influence to counteract it. For this reason there is no prospect that France will take the initiative or will join in any movement toward intervention. or peace. It ts the knowledge that France will remain inactive that has caused such deep discouragement at Madrid. It. practi- cally put an end to Spain’s last hope of assistance from outside. Russia's attitude has been consistently friendly toward the United States since the war began, and there is no doubt that that attitude will be maintained throughout. All things considered, the view in diplo- matic circles here, as voiced by a repre- sentative member of the Corps, ts that for- eign influer.ce is notin any way a factor.| in the present war, and that it will not be- come so, as shown by the inaction which has become a settled policy among the sev- eral great powers of Europe. ——_~e --___—- es The Order of Thontas. DISTRICT’ SOLDIERS ENJOYING I? They Do Not Take Kindly to the Fare, However, SOME NEW DETAILS Se Spectal From a Staff Correspondent. CHICKAMAUGA PARK, Ga., May 28.— Work, work, work, is the order of the day for the District boys at Camp George H. Thomas from early morning till dewy eve. They are hard at it. The regiment is rapidly reaching a high standard of effi- ciency. Squads from the yarious com- panies are drilled in the practical military movements necessary in war times. Fancy drills are thrown aside, and the boys are taught only those movements that are ab- solutely essential. Both officers'and men appreciate the fact that war is on, and they must be prepared for it. This afternoon there will be a regimental dress parade, and the boys will appear for inspection. The 2d Nebraska had a dress parade yesterday afternoon and made an excellent showing. The 24, Nebraska is attached to the same brigade as the Ist regiment. Our men will try to put up a better drill, if it is. possible to do so. It is more than probable that the band of the 2d Nebraska will be tendered to ihe District boys for dress parade, inasmuch as they are absolutely without music. The District men are hoping against hope that the band reported to be organizing in Washington will scon catch them. There are a number of accomplished and experi- enced musicians among the privates of the various companies in the regiment, and they will be detailed for service in the band as soon as it arrives. The boys iay around the camp and listen with envy to the sweet music in the various camps around us. h of the Men is Good. are in better condition today, end it is a -emarkable fact that there has not been a case of sericus sickness since the regiment left home. Of course, the surgeons have had a number of minor ail- ments to attend to at sick call in the morn- ing. The cause is principally due to the water and the lack of vegetables. As soon as the boys become accustomed to this climate and conditions it will be different. The families and friends of the men at home may feel comforted in the fact that the surgeons of.this regiment are among the best in the entire camp. Doc- tors Pyles, Cox and Weaver have been un- tiring in their efforts to relieve every ail- ment. It is to be regretted, however, that, in ac- cordance with ord2rs from General Carpen- ter, the division commander, the hospital staff, with the exception of one attending surgeon and one steward, will be moved to the division headquarters. In the future, all ceses that need more than a few hours’ attention will be re- moved to the division hospital, and Drs. Cox and Weaver will move to the division headquarters, and Dr. Pyles will remain with the District beys. The three surgeons will serve a week each, alternating with the District boys. : Object to Losing Tentage. The hospital corps of the 1st Districtxof Columbia yesterday ‘recelved $100 from the ladies of the art loan exhibition of Wash- ington, which is to be used for delicacies for those of the District soldiers who may be unfortunate enough to be sick. The boys express great appreciation of this kindness. It must be remembered that the District soldiers ‘are in the second brigade of the first division of the third army corps. As such, they will in all probability go through the war. The accommodations in regard to water and food at Camp Thomas are not as good as they might be, and it comes from head- quarters that in all probability an entire division will be moved from here to Tampa. Fresh meat is scarce, and vegetables and water are scarce. There has been consid- erable quiet protesting among the men over the fact that there is no change in their rations. Fat-back, hard tatk and beans are plentiful, but the cooks in many irstances are tnexperfenced and do not know how to prepare them to make them palatable. An entire company of our regiment has been detailed for guard duty each day. Company E, Captain Graham, is on duty tc¢ay. The sentinels are on duty two hours and off four for twenty-four hours, Object to Losing Tentage. The boys are indignant over the fact that scme of their tentage will be taken from them, and the men made to sleep six in a tent, but they will soon grow used to It. Company M, Captain Jacobs, this morning received by express a fine box of eatables, which they are enjoying greatly. It was sent by the young ladies of Fairview Semi- nary, at Gaithersburg, Md. News was received from Washington yes- terday from an unofficial source that Lieut. Col. Hey! would not join the regiment at ail. Of course this will mean that promo- tions from the regimental officers will fol- low. Major M. Emmett Urell,- who wag colonel of the 2d District Columbia Na- tional Guards, who stepped down a peg to accept the position of major ist Regiment District Columbia Volunteers, will be made Meutenant colonel of the regiment, and Capt. O. M. Simonson, who stepped down from the position as major of 5th Battalion to accept the position as captain of the senior company of the regiment, will be made the jurior major of the regiment. Orders were issued from regimental head- quarters yesterday afternoon detalling 1st Battalion Adjutant J. L. Mock to duty in the office of the regimental adjutant for one week. Leroy Herron has been detailed as adju- tant of the Ist battalion. W. HLF. B. —_.—__ EASTERN BRANOH BRIDGE.

Nothing 4s known at the Congressional Library about. any reported change of in- tention on the part of Mr. McKinley tn regard to placing the force there in the classified service of, the government. When Mr. Young was appointed librarian he was told by Mr. McKinley that he pro- posed placing his forte in the. classified service, and about a month ago this in- tention was repeated. When seen by a Star reporter today Li- brarian Young said that so far as he was cor.cerned: he waa not. especially intereated in_ what was done in the matter. He had not examined the law with a view to determining whether the law made his office an executive or legisiattve branch of the service. He had made all his appoint- ments, he said, after more strict exami- natiens than would have been required. had it been under ‘the civil service commission, and he was well satisfied with the class of employes he had secured. ° + nee “CANNOT BLOCKADE OUR HONOR.” Odd Remark Made. by Senor Castelar : “at Madrid.

GENERAL MARKET-REPORTS = Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, May 25—The transactions on tha stock exchange today were devoid of any particular interest, and simply repre- sented the evening up of contracts over the dcuble holiday. At the opening there was a continuation of the realizing ntovement started during the last hour of trading yesterday, but the decline was slight and the supply of stocks very small. Shortly after the opening a ru- mor that Schley had dsstroyed the Spanish fleet stimulated a movement upward, which lasted until the close, during which the early decline was recov2red and an advance recorded which brought the closing prices up to the high range of yesterday. The granger stocks were very prominent in the quick recovery, particularly Rock Island, which after a decline to 104% rallied to 105%. The tradirg in sugar was quite active to- Gay and showed considerable strength. ‘The opening price showed a decline from the last quotation, but on good buying it advanced two points and closed very strong. For the week just ended we have wit- nessed a very strong stcck market, which Stsrted on Monday end continued without much interruption throughout the week. We have seen values increase steadily. This movement upward was due to the success attending our navy and the im- Pression that after one more good victory, which would undoubtedly occur after we met Cervera’s fleet, the war would be atanend. With this impression firmly set, the earnings of the different specialties were taken into consideration, with the re- sult that on account of the enormous wheat movement, the Granger roads reaped the greater benefits toward higher prices. The vther roads, however, were not for- gotten, and the Vanderbilt list and other favorites scored with the general advance.

Preparations for the review of this after- recn occupied the attention of nearly every one connected with Camp Alger all ¢@ay. Nothing was done at headquarters that did not pertain directly to the cere- mony of the review, and at brigade and regimental headquarters all orders issued related solely to the preparation of the troops fer the parade. It was learned at the camp early in the cay that the usual salute of twenty-one guns would have to be omitted, as no artil- lery station about Washington possessed twenty-one rounds of blank cartridges. Otherwise the review will take place as announced in the order issued from corps headquarters at a late hour Jast night. The full text of that order was as follows: “CAMP ALGER, Fails Church, Va. “Ctreular No. 14. “The command at this camp will be re- ceived by the President of the United States at 2 o'clock p.m. tomorrow, May 28, 1808.

Scholl of the 6th Pennsylvania Voluateers. “The trocps will form on the same ground end im the same manner as in the review tcday, facing the south in one line of regi- mental masses, with reduced distances and interval just north of the camp of the 6th IiMinois Volunteers, the right resting on the road running scuth between the camp of the Ittnois Volunteers and the 8th. “Ohio Volunteers Infantry stakes will be driven to indicate where the right of each brigade is to rest. The reviewing stand will be on the small knoll between the camp of the 6th Illinois Votunteer Infantry, the Gth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. But one band will turn out in each brigade and. but.one band will play at the same time. The band of the Ist Brigade will take position full distance in front of the first regiment of the first brigade; the band of the second brigade will take post in rear of the rear Company of the left regiment of the first brigade, closed up as much as possible, and the band of the third brigade and all the foHowing brigades will take similar positions in the rear of the last companies of respective brigades. The regiments will be closed #0 as to leave suf- ficient clear space in their rear for passage of carriages abreast between the rear of the formatios: and the turnpike. “In movirg out at the command, ‘Pass in review,’ the first regiment will simply take full distange and ciiange direction to the ieft at the proper point. The second and all other regiments will: move out to the command, “Take full distance, column right,’ and follow the preceding regiment at the. commands, being careful to start In time, so as not to lose distance. Fifty yards beyond the reviewing stand the tompanies will move at’ the command, ‘Left forward, fours left, double time,’ and on reaching the edge of the cultivated fields turn north, take the turnpike eastward and then turn up the lane.to the south, and when beyond cultivated grounds, march westward to their respective camps. There will be no deviation from-this line of march back to camp. “No fatigue -parties-or other similar du- ties in the afternoon will, be permitted to interfere with this ceremony. The provost marshal is charged with closing the turn- pike between the two lanes as soon as the review begins, and will keep the parade ground and the reviewing stand and vicin- ity entirely clear of unauthorized persons and equipages, except those belonging to the President and his party.” ‘Adjutants general and assistant adju- tants general of brigades and provisional brigades. will report to Capt.

It willbe seen that the troops are ordered to assemble at 2 o’clock. This is done in order that there may be no delay on the arrival of the President. Gen. Graham end his adjutant, Maj. Heistand, hope to be able to complete the ceremony within an hour of the President's. arrival on the grcvnd. A grandstand has been erected on the crest of the knoll between the quar- ters of the 6th Ilinois and those of the Sth Pennsylvania. This is the most com- manding site of the camp, and, while it necessitates a march uphill before the troops reach the reviewing party, its ad- ventages as a point of view made its se- lection almost imperative. Stakes have been driven into the grocnd to mark the positions of the various brigades and regi- ments, and flags have been placed at such points on the parade ground as will serve best to indicate the march of the troops in passing in review. Long before noon visitors began to ar- rive from Washington, Falls Church and erpted.

The United Ste will not pry for this work. In order to control disease ar-sing from ‘Grinking water, it is desirable that the water be bolle’. The retion does not allow tea enough for the purpose, so ff any kind donors will supply the seme and sufficient suger it will make the boiled water more palatable.” “At least 200 pounds will be needed. 3t will be issued by the chief surgeon through brigade and regimental surgeons. “Bpringmann’s city express has offered to transport any donations for the sick in Camp Alger free of charge. This generous @ction is duly appreciated. The present location of the depot is 12 Delaware ave- nue northeast, is adhered to.” While the remainder of the troops are be- ing reviewed by their commander-in-chief, Maj. Young and his subordinates in the 9th Ohto, colored, will be stationed about the camp on picket duty. There was a report here today that Company L of the 6th Massachusetts, the colored command from the bay state, would be included in this de- tall, but this report has not yet been con- firmed, and Company L will probably pase a Teview with the other companies of the hb.

All this, of course, Maj. Young and his staff disclaim vigorously. 2 Late Arrivals. Late last night a regiment arrived tn camp from Missouri. ham, Maj. W. E. Stringfellow, Maj. W. F. ‘Ten Eycks, Maj.

Muster rotis for the purpose will be distributed in ample time. All Ii- censes issued to persons permitting them to trade or do business on the grounds leased by the United States government for the Purposes of the camp will hereafter be made out in duplicate. Upon the assign- ment of any regiment, battalion or unat- tached organization to a brigade the com- mander thereof will immediately cause tc be promulgated all general orders received from the commanding general prior to such assignment. This latter provision is sup- posed to be directed against the establish- ment of regimental or battalion canteens. Since the is313 of yesterday's general or- der relating to beer and liquor, nothing of the sort hes been offered for sale anywhere about the camp. A rather generous supply left on hand at the two canteens was im- mediately sold to various officers and vis- itors for home consumption, but General Graham's order was too positive to per- mit the continuation of the canteens, ever until Saturday. Such brigade commanders, therefore, as felt that the salg of beer anc soft drinks did not commend itself to their better judgment are more than satisfied with the ¢ourse taken at headquarters.
