Newport will have a live prince on her hands for the next week in the person of Prince Victor Emanuel, Count of Turin, and may be depended upon to do him proper homage. The prince has been through a short Bar Harbor season, hav- ing gone there to #vold the rush, not that there could possibly be anybody who could divide the honors with him. His preseaces at Newport at this time will do much to stimulate social life, and the hospitalitics which will be shown him will inaugurate the season. Today Mrs. John Thompson Spencer of Philadelphia would have started the ball going by a reception, but the prince will not reach Newport until late this evening. His first welcome will there- fore be at a dinner Monday next, which Mrs. Spencer has arranged. The Italian prince will probably be the only member of a royal family who will visit our shores this summer, unless the rumor be true that the King of Belgium, who is going to make a long ervise aboard his royal yacht, wants to see a little of the United States. If so, it is pretty good evidence that the very nice young gentleman, Prince Albert of Belgium, nephew of the king, who stirred things up so deliciously last spring for us, has imparted to the royal ear such glowing descriptions of our country and curselves that the head of the family con- cluded both were rthy of closer observa- tion. Of titled Englishfolk two distin- guished travelers may be expected on their ewn say so, which is the best. Lord and Lady Beresford are coming over this a tumn. Lord Beresford, in an interview a few days ago, had a good many fine things to say of the superior marksmanship of our gunners, and that at every point in the war with Spain Americans have shown to the full the qualities of gallantry and cour- age which have been their distinguishing mark. Over-sea bouquet throwing is com- mendable at the moment, and expressions like these in advance will surely make the stay in the United States of this English lord and iady a season of the greatest pleasure to them. Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston has been bidden to Windsor to see the queen and made the call last Monday. Mrs. Johnston, as Miss Harriet Lane, the fair young mis- tress of the White House for her uncle, President Buchanan, entertained the Prince of Wales during his stay, and naturally her name is retained in the memory of the queen as that of a most charming woman. Miss Kennedy has accompanied her aunt abroad and much of their time has been spent in England and in London during the season which is fast drawing to a@ close. Ex-Senator Brice and Miss Brice have had their share of their enjoyment and were at the most important of the court func- tions. Judge John Davis sailed today for Eurore and will go to one of the German spas for his health. Ex-President Harrison and family left Long Branch yesterday for their home in the Adirondacks, where they will remain until the fall.

She will be at Hope- worth, Bristol, R. L, for the next few weeks. A very pleasant evening was spent at the residence of Mrs. Marx, 1123 6th street, in honor of Misses Franks of West Virginia, Miss Stein of Texas and Miss Sondheimer of Baltimore. The other guests were Miss Helen Peyser, Miss Flora Brock, Miss Ber- tha AlexanGer, Miss Sophia Sanger and Messrs. Sidney Cohen, Ralph Steinhardt, Ch: Becker. Ed. Walach, Wm.

William E. Howara | Arraigned on a Serious Charge. William E. Howard, a blacksmith, who conducts business some distance beyond Anacostia, was today arraigned before Judge Scott as a suspicious character. As it was the first time that Howam’ was brought before the Police Court, Judge Scott directed that the defendant's person- al bonds be taken. Officer W. E. Owens, who made the ar- rest, testified that a number of complaints had been received by Sergeant Anderson from persons who have been forced to pay hush money in order to prevent exposure for alleged improper conduct in Pencote woods, a large forest near Hillsdale. The game of the alleged blackmailer, the officer said, was to watch young couples suspected of being in love, and if the latter became at all familiar to rush upon them and de- mand money or jewelry as a reward for preventing arrest on a trumped-up charge. In one case this week, the officer said, $10 was secured from a young man who was In the vicinity in company with a lady, and another surrendered a gold watch and chain to attain the same object. Sergeant Andersof then gave instructions to his offi- cers to arrest the parties suspected, and when last night, between 16 and 11 o'clock, Officer Owens found Howard lying on his stomach watching a young man and young woman a short distance away he took-the accused into: custody. Before releasing Howard Judge Scott rebuked him severely. ——_-> -—_ TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND TROOPS, Gen. Shafter’s Estimate of the Number to Be Transported. General Shafter sent a dispatch to the War Department yesterday afternoon, in which he said: “Sent you several telegrams yesterday, as did Gen. Miles, in regard to the surrender. Gen. Toral agreed yesterday positively to surrender all the forces under his com- mand in eastern Cuba, upon a distinct un- derstanding that they were to be sent to Spain by the United States; that this sur- render was authorized by Gen. Blanco, and tnat its submission tomorrow was merely formal. The commissioners to arrange details were appointed—Wheeler, Lawton and Miley on the part of the United States. Points were immediately raised by Spanish commissioners. The discussion lasted until 10 o’ciock last night. At last my commis- sioners think the matter will be settled EES and met at 9:30 o'clock this morn- ing. “There are about 12,000 troops in the city and about as many more in the surround- ing district; 25,000 in all will be transport- ed. General Miles was present and said the surrender was as absolute and com- plete as possible. It cannot be possible that there will be failure in completing ar- rangements.

G to stop at Honolulu. Some doubt mains as to what regiment will be selected to garrison Honolulu. It now seems prob- able that the ist New York will go direct- ly to the Philippines. Colonel Barber has indicated his disapproval of the proposition to have his command garrison Honolulu. It has been suggested that the Sth Cali- fornia be assigned to the Hawaiian Islands, and the only objection to this seems to be the fact that that state now has one. regi- ment on the way to the Philippi ——_—__-«- ANGLO-AMERIC 4 N ALLIANCE. Senator Morgan Thinks It Impossible Without Sacrificing Independence. “There is no Anglo-American alliance that is possible without sacrificing Amer- ican independence,” said Senator Morgan of Alabama when a Star reporter today re- quested from him his opinion regarding the much-talked of alliance between the United States and Great Britain. “Such an alliance,” continued Senator Morgan, “is not necessary for the promo- tion of the interests of elther country or to prevent any misunderstanding. If we have occasion for any special arrangement with Great Britain relating to commerce, navi- gation, coaling facilities, or the mutual rights of either nation to supply their fleets with coal, water, or other refreshment in time of war with other powers, these all can be secured by special treaties when they are necessary. “It is therefore unnecessary to enter into any broad alliance, offensive or defensive, with Great Britain. “The sentiment of mutual regard between the people of Great Britain and the United States and all the English-speaking peopie is very natural, and is not to be overlooked in our diplomatic relations, but this does not, and ought not, to supplant our very cordial relations with other nations or races. There is nothing in the present situation to indicate any necessity for changing our attitude toward Great Britain or toward any other country with which we are at peace. The existing situation as to the countries with which we are at peace is the result of many years of ex- perience and ought not to be interrupted without the most mature deliberation and under the compulsion of obvious necessity. ee WAITED IN THE TRENCHES. Both Armies Under Arms While the Commissioners Parleyed. . (Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.) Before Santiago de Cuba, July 15, Fri- day, via Kingston, Jamaica, July 16, 8 a.m.—The Spaniards this morning are still haggling over the terms of the capitula- ticn. They now claim that there has been no surrender, and allege that the work of the commissioners is entirely preliminary and must be ratified by the government at Madrid in order to be effective. ‘This is clearly bad faith and not in ac- cordance with General Toral’s represen- tation to General Shafter, that Captain General Bianco had authorized the full surrender of his forces. ‘The commissioners in the meantime have approval of Madrid. In the meanwhile the two armies remain in the trenches. General. Shafter pened this morning, re- ——= INITIAL SERMON Rev. J, B. Chamberlin to Commence Serviog With a Washington Charge. PASTOR'S Lately Appointed to € reh of & Brethren in Christ —Skeich of His Career. Rev. J. B. Chamberlin, the newly ap- pointed pastor of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, located at the corner of North Capitol and R streets, will morrow preach his first sermon as pastor before that congregation. Rev. Mr. Chamberlin came to the church from Keedysville station, M@., where he Was pastor of a large and flourishing con- gregation, the members of which highly appreciated his labors among them and were loth to approve the decision of the Presiding elder of the Maryland confer- ence which resulted in his transfer to this city. Rev. Chamberlin ts a son of Mr. A. Chamberlin, a prominent merchant of Mineral county, W. Va., and is distantly related to Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, the great English parliamentary leader. He Was educated in the public schools of West Virginia, and at the age of nineteen years was elected principal of a graded school. to- Later, while teaching mathematics in Shenandoah Institute at Dayton, W. Va. in 1885, Mr. Chamberlin decided to enter the ministry and at once began to prepare himself for that work In the spring of 1888 he was appointed Pastor of Winchester station, Winchester, Va., which charge he served most accept- ably for three years. Although his congre- gation petitioned for his return to them, the conference, in March, 1891, decided to send him to Martinsburg, W. Va., where he remained pastor of a congregation for four years, during which time scores of communicants were added to e e1 er= ship of his church. i maga Rev.

Their Arms Boxed Up and Shipped to Spain With the Prisoners. (Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.) Playa Del Este, Province of Santiago de Cuba, July 15 (delayed in transmission).— The commissioners appointed by General Shafter and General Toral, to arrange the details of the surrender of the Spanish forces in eastern Cuba, are still hard at work, and, probably, their labors will not be completed before tomorrow Though the understanding that no con- cessions were to be granted, with the ex- ception of allowing the officers to retain their side arms, the Spanish commuisionerg have been disputing raising many jections to the proposed arrangements. The Spanish officers wish to have their men march out of the trenches with their arms, which they also insist ar to be boxed up and shipped back to Spain with the prisoners. This, of course, has been re- fused. There Is also much argument over other ails of the surrender. he total number of Spanish troops tn- voived in the surrender will, it is said, run close to 25,000, of which about 12,000 are behind the of § ob- ent ts ntiago. The rest of the § ps are sta- tioned at Sagua de Tanamo, Guantanamo, Baracoa and other seaports and itied cities, The 25,000 Spanish troops include about 20,000 regulars and 5,000 volunteers.
