When day came the Texas was lying within two miles in shore. The twelve- inch gun battery just east of Morro Castle fired at her, but missed by one hundred yards. The battleship did not reply, but slowly and disdainfully steamed outside of range. Shortly after dawn, .a small steamship approached from the west to within five miles of the fleet, and then started away full speed.

LONDON, June 3.—One of the most enthusiastic banquets ever given in London was the Anglo-American ban- quet this evening at the Hotel Cecil. Six hundred Britons and Americans as- sembled fraternally, the purpose of the entertainment being the promotion of good fellowship between kindred races. Englishmen were the hosts, while resi- dent Americans were the guests. Politi- cal, business and literary circles were well making the affair spontaneous and a wholly unofficial celebration excluded the embassy. ‘American and British flags were draped over the tables. Among the banqueters were the Barl of Carlisle, Viscount Powercourt, Sir | Norman Leroy, Sir Frederick Pollock, | Sir Richard Temple, Lord Beresford, | the Dean of Hereford, the Rev. New- man Hall, Hiram Maxim and George W. Ward, manager of the Commercial Cable Company. Literature and journalism were rep- resented by Sir John Robinson, man- ager Qf the Daily News; Mr. Alfred Harmsworth, proprietor of the Daily Mail and Evening New M. Edmund Sir Walter Besant, Mr. Anthony Hope Dr. Conan Doyle and Miss Beatrice Harraden. , Lord Bernard Coleridge presided. In proposing the health of President Me- Kinley, he said: “Where can the whole world show such a line of rulers of men as have been the free choice of people 7" k The speakers were the Bishop of Ri- represented, but the purpose of | the American | Senator Carter Will Lead Some Big nquet in don. the time is ripe, but there is an infinity of good in cultivating these sentiments of kinship, which are the forerunners of formal alliances.” The Daily Chronicle, referring to the banquet as a “remarkable gathering of men who are forces in the modern world,” says: “The dinner was the be- ginning of a movement which, unless unwise words or unforeseen mischance should wreck it, must carry us far. It is important that all men, friends or foes, should realize that this move- ment has come to stay.” The Standard says: “It would be premature to speak of an alliance in the sense in which Continental chan- | cellors employ the term, but it would | be an error not less grave to deprecate the benefits which must accrue to the | United States and Great Britain from the knowledge that they can look to each other for sympathy and co-opera- tion.” The Morning Post says: “The ban- quet has made a permanent addition | to the reeiprocal friendship which has been derived from recent eventsinvari- ous parts of the world, and while agreements in smaller points, such as the Canadian and American differences, e most valuable, on the large issues ti re not necessary.

R AR T - ferences; to spend our money and we know that some cases were worth spending any price for, Lord Coleridge’ prayed that victory might perch on the American banner, “in .the interests of America, in the iriterest of Spain and in-the interest of common humanity.

Colotiel Taylor raised a hurricane of cheering by saying: “As you have stood by.us-in our day of trial, when your day of trial comes count upon us.” Sir Frederick Pollock replied, pre- | dicting that there would be ‘“one fleet under two flags to keep the peace of the world.” The morning papers, commenting up- on the Anglo-American banquet at the Hotel Cecil last evening, all speak in the same tone of gratification. The Daily Telegraph says: - “Nothing said by the speakers could offend the susceptibilities of Continen- tal _nations, but there was evidence throughout of the friendship which has grown so ranidly and that it will not end In mere verbal protestations of mu- tual respect and affection, It would be a mistake to forrs an. alllance before trouble in getting the required num- ber.

PORT TOWNSEND, June 3. — The steamer Farallone, which arrived here to-night from Alaska, brings news that in addition to the indictment of eight customs officers the Grand Jury at Bitka has brought in two true bills against John W. Smith, ex-United States Com: missioner at Skaguay, on the charge o extortion and accepting bribes. Smith has been arrested. e AR Preparing the Transport Dhio.

Jamaica Government Undecided as # the Question of Their. Bel- ligerency. Copyrighted, 1808, by James Gordon Bennett. KINGSTON, Jamaica, June 3.—The Government here is much exercised over a point that has arfsen in- connec- tion with the observances of neutrality. It-has stated that press dispafch ‘boats touching at varicus ports of the island have been carrying not only press mes- passing between the American govern- ment ‘and.the commanders of the fleets in Cuban waters. It is contended in some quarters that in many cases where they carry Gov- ernment dispatches’ the -press dispatch boats ‘should be regarded as belliger- ent vessels, should be permitted to take on only coal enaugh to last them to their nearest port in their own country, and-should not be -allowed to enter t same port twice within three months. The "Attorney General declines to give an opinjon on. the new point in inter- national law herein involved; and a de- cision’ by the imperial authori‘ies has been asked for by ‘cable.

REDWOOD CITY, Juné 3.—A number of years ago a gang of cattle thieves was the terror of the coast sfde in this county. It was eventually broken up and punished. Until within the last. six weeks or two months.-the county has been compara- tively- free ‘from' this class of outlaws. About two months ago Daly & Tilton re. ported to. the Sheriff. that they had lost one of their cattle from the Brittan ranch,. In West- Union. Two weeks: later they reported another one killed..

MOBILE, Ala., June 3.—The forward.| movement from Mobile began this afternoon. The first part of the Fourth Army Corps to leave camp was. the Second Cavalry, and this was quickly | followed by the Third Infantry and the Twentieth Infantry. These troops marched to and through the city to the water front, where the afternoon and part of the night were consumed in | taking passage on the transports Mat- tewa, Stillwater, Aransas, Morgan and Breakwater. General Bates is in com- mand of the expedition. 7 The men are jubilant over going to the front. The general impression among the men is that the expedition is bound for Portc Rico. The Eleventh | and Nineteenth infantry were ordered to leave by rail for Tampa, but the or- der was countermanded. They, with the Fifth Cavalry and one battalion of the Second Cavalry, will probably leave | to-morrow. TAMPA (Fla.), June 3.—The censor- | ship at Tampa, which relaxed enough to-day to permit of chronicling, with certain restrictions, the arrival of vol-| unteer troops at this point, has been again tightened to even a greater ex- treme than before. No comments will hereafter be allowed on the movements of the regular or volunteer troops, either to or from'this point, nor will anything bearing on any phase of the situation here be permitted to go out. Correspondents are practi limi ed now to the veriest camp gossi Nothing in the nature of confirmation or denial of the reports of embarkation of troops at this point or any com- ment which might indicate a move- ment, will be allowed. Not only is the telegraphic news censored, but secret service men are said to be watching very carefully the mails from Tampa, and any suspicious letter will probably be confiscated. The orders for the tightening of censorship came direct from General Greely at Washington. General Miles and General Shafter held a conference to-day of several hours’ duration. General Ludlow, chief of the engineer corps, took part in the discussion. WILL BE THE LARGEST FLAG IN THE WORLD Phil- \ | Stars and Stripes in Gorgsous Array Destined to Float Over Morro Castle. NEW YORK, June 3.—The stars and stripes in the shape of the largest flag in the world will float over Morro Cas- tle, Havana, when Blanco surrenders. The immense flag designed for this | fduty is already prepared and may be | seen draped in front of an empty store room at 147 Fulton street. A patriotic ‘Wall-street man has had the great flag made. It measures 120 feet in length and 43 1-3 feet in width, and it is be- lieved that it breaks the record for size. It is so big that special bunting was made for it in Boston. The bunt- ing measures 42 inches across in the | rough. Made up In the flag, allowing | for seams, each stripe measures 40 inches. It took a full piece of forty yards for each stripe except where they run into the jack. The jack measures forty feet in length and covers the space of seven stripes. The stars are not very large.
