LONDON , July IB. Not for a long tlm
las London known a week so full of event
ot marked social Importance as the on
which closes today. To begin with , ther
was on Monday the garden party at Buck
Incluun palace , given by the prince ni >
prlnr-eRs of "Wales In honor of their ilnugb
ter. Princess Maud , who will onVcuncs
day next become the bride of Prince Chavlc
of Denmark. According to authorities c :
such matters , this party was the most br'l
licnt Miclal function that has taken ; ilcc
in tbe Vnlted Kingdom since tbe Jublle
year. The lord chamberlain. Lord Lathoa :
received 1.000 requests for tickets to 11'
garden party and the United Stales aiii
bassador. Mr. Thomas F. Bayard , was sl'nl
larly beset by those of his fellow rounuj
men and women who , being in LonCon
that time , craved an opportunity to mini ; ]
with royalty and other titled f.ilic. Th
regular court set was relnfoi ceil for this oi
caslon by foreign princes , envoys "and ficl
marshals , high officers of the army an
navy and other notabilities , and these lea\
encd A rare lot of lesser folk , such as Til
Hcaly. the noted Irish member of Parllt
rnent ; Mr. "W. E. H. Lecky , the hlBtorlat
Ellen Terry and Sir Henry Irving. Mn
Ke-elcy. the nonogenarian pi TCEK , was aU
there , having been especially invited by th
queen , and held quite a levee on the lawi
Particularly picturesque were the queen1
watermen , wearing scarlet hoods , doublel
and note , tbe Irtters V. R. formed In sharr
rock and thistles , in rose and gilt on the ]
breasts. Three arted tis ferrymen , earn
ing In their wherries many idling gues !
upon the lake. The prince of "Wales , coi
trary to the attempted dictation of fashioi
wore a white stovepipe bat. with a blac
band and two of his suite had their heat
elmilarly attired.
"WILL BE SEMI-PRIVATE.
So far as the queen Is concerned , the wei
ding will be as private as possible , hi
majesty being expected to arrive In the clt
on Monday evening. On Tuesday she wl
In private Invest Crown Prince Frederic
of Denmark with the order of tbe garti
and with the first-class decoration of tl
Victoria and Albert cross. Upon both of h
sons. Prince Christian and Prince Charlc
the crand cross of the Order of the Bat
will be conferred at the same time. Tl
queen will not attend the wedding breal
fast. On Thursday , the day after the wei
ding , her majesty will return to "Windso
from whence fche intends to go soon to tl
Isle of Wight.
It has been seml-officlally announced thi
the royal family would not be displeased
people should decorate their houses in honi
of tbe wedding , and doubtless a great mar
will gracefully take the bint.
Among the presents which have been r
crlvcQ by Princess Maud IE a magnified
Rolltalrc diamond from Mr. William Waldo
Astor.
In connection with the approaching wci
ding , a curious phrase of British phllai
thopy has developed. The Chronicle r
cently urged Princess Maud not to gl\
he sanction to cruelty by wearing osprc
plumes on her hat. In response the Chroi
Icle received an intimation from the prli
cess to tbe effect that she would not wei
oEprcy plumes , and upon this the Chronic !
published an article in prali-c of her royi
highness , and commending her for her klni
ness of heart. However , it was obfcervi
that at the royal garden party at Buchlni
ham palace on Monday most of the femlnli
members of tbe royal family were decoratt
with osprey plumes. In sore amazemei
the Chronicle noted the fact , and appeaU
to the queen to forbid the use of osprt
plumes by members of tbe royal family.
DANGER TO CLUB LIFE.
Curious side lights are being thrown upc
the licensing laws by tbe testimony befoi

LONDON , July ! & . Commenting today
upon the correspondence on the subject of
arbitration , which the marquis of Salisbury
laid before the House of Lords on yes
terday , the Globe expresses tbe opinion that
the British premier has been perilously near
recognition of the Monroe doctrine. On
this point the Globe sayp : "We must be
ware of weakening In the slightest degree
in the position hitherto maintained by Great
Britain. "
The Globe also thinks that the House of
Commons has been altogether too complacent
in regard to the Venezuelan question it-
Keif , and trusts that there is no disposition
on Ihe part of the government to recede
from the determination not to recognize the
American commitslon. "In regard to a
treaty of arbitration , " continues the Globe ,
"our experience with the United States has
been uniformly discouraging , as for In
stance , in the cahcs of tbe Alabama claims
and the Bering sea seal fisheries dispute. "
The Pall Mall Gazette says both sides In
the correspondence have shown a disposition
to discuss each possible solution In a con-
cllitory spirit , they being propelled toward
a fcettlement by the dynamic forces of
mutual good will.
The St. James Gazette expresses the fear
that negotiations have not brought the
United States much nearer to a settlement-

LONDON. July 18. The Fourteenth Par
liament of Queen Victoria will close the
first session on August 1 , after certain priv
ate , political end court measures shall have
been disposed of. This program , which hue
been decided upon by the cabinet , springs
form a desire to cut the gordiun knot cf the
difficulties In which tt > povernmcnt finds
Itself , throwing tnlngs over until time cati
be found for an effective organization of
the political cohorts. A more disastrous
nebslon than this , of which only ten real
working days remain , has rarely been known
In the history of any party having over 100
majority It the House of Commons. The
education bill withdrawn , the finance and
agricultural rating bills passed and the
Scottish rating bill tolerably sure to be
passed , completes the record of first class
measures disposed of at this fcession. H
has been deemed impossible to proceed with
the deceased wife's sister bill , and the
Irish land bill has no chance at this session ,
even If the house should enter upon all
night sittings. London , which was over
whelmingly conservative at the last elec
tion , stands amazed and disgusted at the
ridiculous outcome.
All this fortifies the common belief that
bfcfoie the next session begins A. J. Half our
will retire from the government leadership
In the House of Commons and take his seat
among the Idrds , leaving Joseph Chamber
lain master of the Commons and real head
of the convervative party's destiny.
The debility that has characterized thi
government has put the London radicals It
high spirits , and they have already begun
seriously to trim their sails for the next
election. Baron Tweedmouth has arranged
a conference for representative politicians
from all parts of the metropolis at the Na
tional Liberal club on Monday next to con
sider a thorough reorganization of the lib
eral party in London.
The House of Lords has advanced a stagt
In the vexatious actions bill , which is beinj
quietly smuggled through Parliament. Th <
measure Is designed to protect the chancel
lor and the speaker and their servants from
cranks -who bring unsuccessful action anc
leave the defendants to pay the costs. Barot
Halsbury. speaking in support of the bill
read a list of over thirty actions institutes
against him and his colleagues for allegec
neglect of duties by the same plaintiff , anc
in which the plaintiff always failed to mak <
out his case. The bill provides that in fu
ture persons desiring to institute such ac
lions shall be required to obtain permlssioi
from the high court before they can sue
The Radical press howls at the legislation
but such a law is absolutely needed.
BUSY UNVEILING BUSTS.
The air , figuratively speaking , is full oi
ceremonies of unveiling of busts and monuments
ments and of other posthumous honors. It
addition to the memorial to Hemings anc
Oondell , the first publishers of Shakes
peare's collective writings unveiled thli
week ; Dean Bradley of Westminster Abbej
unveiled a bust of Dr. Thomas Arnold ,
the famous headmaster of Rugby ; the dukt
of Norfolk unveiled a life-sized state ol
Cardinal Nowman. outside of the Brompton
Oratory , and busts of Cardinal Manning
and Thomas Hughes were also unveiled.
Next week the prince of Wales is to unveil
the new statue of his mother , the queen , at
the foot of Blackfriar's Bridge.
The Robert Burns ceutenary exhibition
was opened at the Institute of Arts in
Glasgow on Wednesday. There are several
Interesting collections of books , manuscripts ,
relics , portraits , etc. , of the famous Scotch
poet. At the Burns centenary at Dum
fries on Tuesday , an address will be deliv
ered by Lord Rosebery.
The last appearance of the De Rerke
brothers in Tristan and Isolde drew an
enormous crowd and Jean de Rczke bad a
veritable ovation. His horse. Matador , has
won the Derby at Wasso. worth 1.000 rou
bles , also receiving at the hand of ( he
Grand Dukt Serglus a valuable trophy.
The Field devotes a page of this week't
Issue to a spiteful review of the Henley ie-
gittta. The article begins with a criticism
of the management for refusing to confine
the races at Henley to British entries. It
rays American newspaper men invaded the
press bax , taking the beet places , and in
stead of doing their work , if they had any
to do , talked in loud voices to the great
detriment of the hard-working BritUberE.
The writer t.rges that in future "English and
American reporters be separated at Henley.
The article continues : "American repor
ters draw on their imagination and write
anything that comet into their heads , pro
vided that it panders to the anti-BrltUh
feelings of their readers. "
AGGRAVATES THE FIELD.
The Field then reproduced an article from
a New Tork weekly paper of July 11. In
which the Henley management was accused
of "stacking the cards" against Cornell in
the drawing for beau and positions last
year. The Field's article next criticises the
behavior of American ! in general and cays :
"The English people , unlike Americans , are
not everlastingly flag flying , either ashore
or afloat. However , the Yankee flags were
not in evidence after Yale bad been knocked
out. "
Mr. Gladstone bac written a gracefully
worded letter to Princess Maud , of Wales ,

Macro :
TOMAS DE SAN JOSE. Pinar del Rio. .
June 26. "The want of n few cartridges and
caution. " said General Mnceo. "in all that
makes our government use nature's rocks
Instead of a brick and mortar for a white-
house , "
Asked how many s.nd vhat arms and
ammunition be needs to guarantee to win
the war. In , say , two months , he said : " 1
could do it with 20.000 cheap Remington
rifles , small caliber , l.MtD.DOD cartridges , tea
cannon and IbO.OOO rounds of artillery am
munition. I might do it with much less.
1 would invariably attack the Spaniards ,
and attack them after maneuvering their col
umns Into cul de sacs , and 1 would take an
Important town. The supplies captured
there would assist In the capture of the
next one and so until I would be able to
Btorm Havana with KB fully equipped army
of 100,000 men and fifty pieces of artillery.
From the land It could be thus easily
taken. Armed with all classes of fire
arms , from shot guns to mausers , we have
now 00,000 men In our orEerilzpd forces , east ,
central , andwest. . In addition to our CO-
OdO armed men. we have fully 20,000 more
men armed only with the machete and re
volver , thus giving UB a probable total of
80.000 revolutionists in the field. Could we
thoroughly equip these patriots , Cuba would
soon be free from Spanish oppression and
outrages. "
He estimates that the Cubans have seven
cartridges to cacb soldier.
"I have no dictatorial Aspirations. I shall
use what Influence I possess iu the govern
ment of the republic of Cuba only to secure
its stability and promote Its prestige. The
moment the flag of Spain leaves our shoret
I shall recommend the payment and dis
missal to the peaceful pursuits from which
he was taken o every armed man of oui
army of liberty , except tb'e few policemen
necessary to enforce th"e observance of tht
laws of the republic , "
General Macco says he ,1s sick and tired oi

defeated -with heavy loss , but it is cur
rently reported in Havana that the Spanis !
general himself was captured and is nov
held a prisoner UyMecoo. * . The battle ii
said to have occurred on July IS , neai
Macpo's stronghold la , JPlnar-del Rio. Fo :
the lest two weeks the-lnsurgents have beei
very aggressive arid small parties have re
peatudly attacked the trocha , causing tb (
Spaniards much annoyance. Ynclan wai
ordered to drive back these detached bandi
-Cubans and for this purpose took will
him 24,000 men. Maceo seems ti
have been expecting such a raovemen
and arranged to ambuscade the Spanlardu
He stationed a large force In a favorabli
spot and 'ordered his , detached bauds t <
draw Ynclan into the trap. The Spanlardi
followed tbe insurgent skirmishers incau
tiously and fell into the ambush. Thei
the Cubans opened fire from all sides , whlcl
threw the Spaniards into confusion. Whll
the Spaniards were thus beset the Cubans
charged and completely routed their foes
Ynclan made a desperate effort to rally hi !
demoralized forces , but WEE surrounded bj
tbe Cubans and compelled to surrender
It is said in Havana that the Spaniard )
were pursued almost to the trocha , and IOKI
more than 300 killed and wounded. There
were fourteen officers among the killed.
Cubans here say that Maceo will hole
Ynclan as a hostage to save the lives oi
prominent insurgent officers , who have beer
captured by the Spaniards. One of those
officers is Capote. If this rebel leader li
shot by the Spaniards It is said Ynclan will
meet the same fate at the- hands of Maeco ,

LITTLE ROCK. Ark. . July IS The town
of Malvcrn , Ark. , at the Junction of the
Hot Springs railway , was almost entirely
wiped out by fire at un early hour this
morning , and It Is reported that six men
who were arrested for Incendiarism have
bten lynched by the enraged people.
Mulvern was a little city of nbout 0,000
inhabitants , the business portion of the place
buing clustered around the railroad station.
All this section was destroyed , only three
business houses remaining. Tbe tola ! loss
is variously estimated ut from $200.000 to
J400.000 , only a small portion of which Is
covered by insurance. The burned build
ings include the railroad depot , two hotels ,
tbe bank and all the principal business
houses of the place. The fire is without
doubt the result ot a plot to destroy the
town. The blaze broke out about midnight
in three different places , and as there was
no apparatus the fire burned ittelf out.
Principal losses are : E. Adams ,
$50.000 , fully injured ; Hughes t McKay ,
JSfi.OdD. partially Insured ; W. H. Cooper &
Bro. , ? 15.000 , Insurance , ? B.COO ; H. A. Butler ,
J10.000 , insurance fS.OOO ; H. Barnett , $3,200 ,
na insurance ; William Duffle , $10POD ,
no Insurance ; I. M. & S. railway depot ,
$1,000 ; R. Clary , $4,500 , insurance , ? r > 00 ; A.
M. Duffie , $3,000 ; no insurance ; Bank of
Mclvcrn. J4.0PO , partially insured ; J. T.
Chamberlain. fD.OOO ; partially insured.
The report that a negro was lynched this
morniiic proves erroneous. No one was ac
tually lynched , but a white tramp came near
forfeiting his life in an endeavor to filch
money from the excited citizens. He re
marked in a crowd that for the considera
tion of $ S he would reveal the. Identity of
the firebugs. He was .promptly , answered
with" the Tpmnrlc thaUhewould divulge at
a more reasonable figure. Somebody procured - ;
cured a rope and the crowd seized the
tramp and proceeded to string him up to
force the information from him , but then
he protested that he knew nothing about the
crime and begged piteously for his life. He
and a pal were then locked up.
Four men , two white and two negroes , are
believed to have been implicated in the
clime and it seems that they went about
their work in a systematic manner. The
fire was first started In a cottage in the
suburbs about 1 o'clock last night. The
blaze attracted the attention of the people
and while efforts were being made to ex
tinguish it the torch was'applied to the
business portion of the city in several places
simultaneously and , before the people were
hardly aware of it , the whole town WEB in
flames. Every effort is being made to ap
prehend the incendiaries.
Sheriff D. C. Fitzhugh of Hot Springs
county tonight brought to the penitentiary
here. Eugene Ingrahom , V. Miller and Cate
Williams , three men arrested at Malvern
on the charge of being the firebugs who put
the torch to that town last night. Ingrahain
and Miller are white and Williams Is a
negro. Williams has confessed complicity
in the crime and implicated the two white
men. He says it was done for tbe purpose
of plunder and that had they not been
frightened away a good haul would have
been made.
CHICAGO , July IB. Tbe car barns of the
Chicago City Railway company on Cottage
Grove avenue , near Thirty-ninth street , were1
burned tonight. The barns were 150 feet
long. 400 feet deep and occupied three-quar
ters of a square. The company lost D54
cars , ICO of them being grip cars. Not a
thing in tbe building was saved. Tbe loss
is estimated at $500,000 , the buildings and
contents being Insured at fSll.OOO. Fifteen
horbes were burned to death.

ST. LOUIS. July IS. Not enough of the-
delegates to the populist national conven
tion which assembles here next Wc-dnt-Bday |
have arrived lu the * city to give a fair Idea
us to the complexion of that gathering , A
majority of those hero are middle-of-the-
road men \\ho are not in favor of the en
dorsement of Bryan. The temporary chair
man will be selected by the national com
mittee at its meeting Tuesday , although the
man will be virtually named by the national
executive committee , which held its first
meeting today , with only six member *
present. "Cyclone" Davis of Texas who is.
opposed to fusion and Is for an Independent
populist ticket Is the choice of the middle-
of-the-road people. There Is a possibility
that he may be relegated to the rear. The
middle-of-the-road men are in a majority *
now , but when the three absent members of
the committee get here there Is a Ktronc.
probability that United States Senator W.
V. Allen of Nebraska may be put forward ,
for both temporary and permanent chairman.-
Senator Allen Is nahl to be outspoken for
the endorsement of Bryan and Sewall and a.
union of all the free silver forces. If the
anti-Bryan men nnd the
members of the na
tional machine try to run in a temporary-
chairman the scene in the Chicago conven
tion , when David B. Hill was turned dowo.
and Senator Daniel of Virginia put In. may
be duplicated.
The Bryan wing of the party claims over
900 delegates out of the total of 1.S50 and this ,
large majority would not submit to tbe dic
tation of the minority faction. At today's ,
meeting of the minority faction. It has.
been stated the subject of temporary officers ,
was discussed. It was tp.ken up. but only In
fin informal way. Chairman Tuubeuock
soon discovered that -not-all - themembers
were with him and that'll was barely possi
ble the middle-of-the-road
men would havty
a majority in the full body. This altered
his plans and the matter was postponed.
It is said tbe middle-of-the-road men now
threaten to bolt if Bryan is endorsed. They-
come mostly from touth of Mason and
Dlxon'B line.
Tonight's arrivals are not numerous , and
it is not expected that any great number or
populists will come in before Monday or
Tuesday.
TAUBENECK TALKS.
Chairman Taubeneck of the people's party
national .committee , who has had nothing to
Ray for publication since the Chicago con
vention , has at last broken his silence and
submitted to an interview with a represent
ative of the
Associative prcss.
"Are you in favor of the populists enders
ing the democratic ticket nominated at
Chicago ? " he was atked.
"No , under no consideration will I vote
to endorse Bryan and Sewall at the populist
convention on July 22. That would mean
tbe surrender and destruction of the organ
ization of the populist party. "
"Have you any idea what the populist ,
will do toward combining all tbe elements
opposed to tbe gold standard in the coin.
Ing campaign ? "
"I believe the '
people's
party convention
will favor the idea of nominating
a candi
date lor president and vice president , and
then combine the votes of the two parties
on one set of electors. Thin can be dona
without the sacrifice
of principles , and
our organization will also unite the ele
ments opposed to the gold standard. "
"Do you believe that if the party's na.
tional convention should endorse Mr. Bryan
that the entire vote of the party would go
to Bryan at the polls next November ? "
"Xo. if tbe people's party national con.
vcntlon should endorse Bryan and Bewail
the leaders could not deliver more than KG
per cent of the populist vote throughout
the United States. The members of the
people's party are strong individually , and
will not follow their lenders if they at
tempt to lead them1 against their will , Tbe
utay-Kt-home vote In the people's party
would be large enough to defeat Mr. Bryan
in many -wr-Etcm states. "
"Do you think if the people's party should
nominate candidates for president and vice
president and then combine on electors that
the entire vote could be polled for such
elector ! . ? "
"Yes. I believe the full populist strength
could be polled at the November election
for the electors. This , In my opinion , IB
the only , possible way to defeat McKlnley
at the polls next November. Since the
Chicago convention I have communicated
with the populists throughout the United
States , and know the democratic ticket
nominated at Chicago will not be endorsed
by our convention next week. "
FIGHT IS NOW ON.
Chairman Taubeneck's return from Chicago
was the signal for renewed activity on th
part ot tbe populists who hope to prevent
an endorsement of Bryan and the Chicago
platform.
His visit to Chicago , partly due to bis fear
that tbe Illinois delegation would leave him
In the lurch , was apparently not productive
of results. Tills morning be woe In secret
conference with tbe anti-Bryan leaders and
tbe national headquarters were practically
deserted.
Mr. TaubenecV , It is said , found several
stumbling blocks In bis path In Chlceco.
For one thine , Dr. Taylor , one of the most
prominent members of the people's party
In Illinois , is not following passively Ills
lead. There are to many oincr populists In
Illinois who are believed to hold the turn *
opinion that Mr Taubeueck U disturbed. To
have Ills own delegation go agalniit him
, would be very distasteful
I In the discussions of tbe anti-Bryan men
it IB morn IHE no definite plun of action was
upon , but they fctem determined. I *
