forward a vote ot censure and thus enforc
dlMolutlon. But tha oppoiltlon Is paraly
by acute differences In Its own ranks
twetn Chamberlain and the old torles ,
th y eihiiot face a general election In
preaeut condition ct tlilUES. Chambtrla
efforts to take the leadership ot the opposi
tion out of Balfour's hands have resulted
>
disastrously for himself , and there Is a
strong opinion In the tory ranks that If a
general election Is deferred Chamberlain will
have eo completely destroyed his reputation
as a tactician that ho can bo kept out of Ui :
next unionist government. The bulk ot the
torles are frantic with anger because he sup
ported Lord Sclbourno In his attempt to re
main a member of the Commons after his ac
cession to the peerage , that action being a
blow to the continuance ot the House ol
Lords , whereas Chamberlain fancied that he
would bo accomplishing a great stroke tot
the peers It he could establish for them the
right of option of sitting In either house.
PRESENTED AT COURT AGAIN.
The fact that the duchess of Marlborougl :
wai again presented at court this week wai
because cf the Invariable rule that secom
presentation must be made after the mar
rlage of cither maid or widow. When sh <
was first preiented , after her marriage t <
the duke , there was much discussion be
cause of the- warm friendship between tin
queen and the duke's divorced wife , but th
dowager .duchess ot Marlborough came for
ward as her sponsor. This time the duches
was presented by the marchioness of Lon
donderry. The presentation would have beei
made by one ot the late duke's sisters , bu
they are still In mourning for Lord Randalpi
Churchill. Though a duchess retains he
rank and title In society when she marries ;
person of lower rank , she is recognized a
court only by the name of her new husbani
Thus the court presentation card of th
duchess of Marlborough sets forth her tltl
as : "Lady William Berestord , formerl
the Duchess ot Marlborough. " The dowage
duchess of Marlborough Is shortly going on
visit to the duchess at Deepdenc , and , I
fact , the Churchill family loses no oppoi
tunlty of testifying their continued regar
for the duchess since her remarriage. Sli
entertains a large party at Deepdene fc

Ono of the society papers this week sa ;
that the new Sir Robert Pesl will renew h

YOKOHAMA , April 27. ( New York Worli

Hayed Internal political strife , the emperor'

articles In regard to Increasing ths navy 1

Yomlurl , an organ of the ministry , has thl
rery significant editorial utterance , tli
blanks referring to England and Russia :
The first thing to ba considered with rel
erenco to the building of new ships. Is th
question , What countries must Japan regar
as possible opponents , for the strength of he
navy must be fixed on the basis of the fore
that her opponents may be able to brln
against her. The possible opponents of tli
empire are the and China , cor
sequently we must be prepared to hold on
own against these three powers slmultz
neoasly. The first of the three countries he
an eastern fleet of about 80,000 tons , and t
that country has now reached the zenith (
Its power there is little probability of 11
eastern fleet being Increased.
JAPAN'S GREAT TASK.
"The second country Is engaged In ralslr
the strength of Its eastern fleet to GO.Ov
tons. But as Its military strength Is di
veloped chiefly In Central Asia , Its object I
Increasing Its eastern squadron Is simply '
have In these waters a force equal to tl
former power. With regard to China , It m :
be that she will entertain a desire to 1
avenged on Japan , but to achieve such J
ambition she would have to greatly multlp
her present military organization. For tl
present , therefore , she will probably have
be content with the thought of reveng
Hence we may conclude that she will aim
nothing more than the possession of a fie
competent to cope with that of either of tl
powers referred to , or , In other words , w
restore her fleet to the strength It had b
fora the war , or 70,000 tons.
"Thus , the combined tonnage of the thr
countries' naval forces In oas e n waters wou
not exceed 250,000 tons , and to that pol
Japin must endeavor to raise her navy. Wl
regard to the method of carrying out tli
program , omitting the vessels now In our p :
session , and those alrsady 'n course of co
structlon , or ordered , If 10,000 tons be add
to the navy each year the total rerjulr
would be reaclud In twenty-flvs years , , and
the ships that we have already were , togeth
with those ordered , or In course of constn :
tlon , to be Included In the account , a period
less than twenty yeirs would suffice to brl
the navy to 250,000 tons.
WORK WILL. NEVER END.
"As , however , the life of a VESIJ ! of w
r floes not exceed much over twenty-five yea :
we should have to go on building stead
10,000 tons yearly in order to keep up o
navy. Estimating th ? cost of a unan-of-w
and her armament at 1,000 yen pr ton , it i
'v ' suits that we should have to spend 10.000.C

SAN LUIS , Cuba , May 1C. During my r <

said : "The Spaniards have learned nothlni
They forget the lesson of the late war. The
move their soldiers without sense. Tli
rainy season la now at hand. The cllmal
will kill more Spaniards than our bullel
will take off. " He was right. The Spanls
war olHce has not Uarncd that It does nc
pay to neglect and Ill-treat th
soldiers. The advance of sanltar
science appears to have ben dl :
regarded almost entirely by the army olficla !
and the rank and fil ? of the troops are abuse
In a manner that would strike cnllghtene
military mtn as being scandakus. Alrcad
the general military hospital , situated on tf
hill In the' rear of Santiago , Is filled with U
sick. The ghostly movement to the cenn
tery , conducted at night without escorts an
without the benefit of clergy , has commence
In earnest.
During the- former revolution a battalion i
Infantry wag stationed In the barracks. Fet
hundred of the 10,000 soldiers died of yello
fever. Troops are marched long and hard I
the heat , when an early morning movemei
would do as well. They are not given wate
proofs , although every offlcer Is provided wll
a mackintosh. Th ? soldiers are overheaU
by the noonday sun. They are wet by troi
leal showers and they Ho out In the open a
without shelter from the cold dew. Then fo

"Fighting Slcmlncas , "
Lieutenant Colonel Bosch , the surgeon nm
another officer at the head of the columt
fell at the first fire. Then the Spanish sol
dlers , under Major Hoblo's orders , got li
cover and firing was kept up all day. Tin
Insurgents did not disclose themselves , bu
shot from shelter whenever they could sei
the suggestion of a soldier. Ttiio posltloi
chosen by General Maceo was strong and hi
was able to place his vastly superior forci
In secure cover. If General Macco had a
many followers as were with him two day ;
previous , he had certainly 2,000 men. Tin
Spanish authorities assert that ho had ac
tually 3,000. The Stcmlncas , with Llcutcnan
Colonel Bosch , the same authorities say
numbered only 400.
After desultory firing had continued th
entire day a detachment of volunteer cavalry
formed In Guantanamo by Major Garrldc
made a vigorous attack on the Insurgent *
striking them on the flank. This dlscon
certed General Mnceo's men.
The Cubans seem unable to meet a amide
change In the situation. This was shown a
Crlsto when the pilot engine ahead of
train with soldiers upset the Insurgent pla
of attack.
Major Garrldos' squadron drove the Insur
gents from their sheltered position , Infilcttn
a considerable loss. The number of kllle
Is uncertain.
A Spanish regiment from Porto Ulco whlc
has just arrived at Santiago was dcspatche
In haste to Guantanamo. The Matcos , It I
&ald , had probably changed their base. Th
loss of Lieutenant Colonel Bosch Is unforti
nate for the Spaniards. .

BERLIN , May 18. Things are once more In
a clmotlu condition In Germany. The twa
chief government bills , the anti-revolution
bill and the tobacco tax measure , have been ,
crushlngly defeated , and there Is no talk ol
substitute measures , H Is an open secret that
he Ue\\s cf the chancel or , Prlro Hob nlohe.
nil the Prussian minister ot the Interior ,
lorr von Kocller , clash on most subjects ot
mportanco , and the existing situation cannot
endure. The latter's position Is so shaken ,
hat his term ot office may end at any mo-
ncnt. Prince Hohenlohe , who lias been much
vorrled for months past , ortered his reslgna-
lon Immediately after the defeat of the anti-
revolution bill , but ho was persuaded to re-
naln In ofllce on the earnest solicitations of
ho emperor and tils own family.
Herr von Koellor's handling of the antl-
rcrolutlon blil Is condemned on all sides , but
has displayed a total disregard of tholr
ILssatlsfactlon , and In fact strongly urged bo-
ere the council of state the Introduction ot
another anti-revolution bill , directed partlcu-
arly at socialists.
Prince Hohenloho quietly disproved his ar
guments and showed the futility of continuing
he fight In the present Reichstag. The chan
cellor was supported In this contention by
Dr. Mlqucl , the minister ot finance ; Baron ,
Marschall von Blcburstcln , the minister for
foreign affeara , and Dr. von Boettlcher , th
mperlal secretary of state for the Interior ,
vlille Dr. Schocnstcdt , the minister ot justice ,
sided with Herr von Koellcr. Prince Hohcn-
ohe's views also met with favor In tht-
Bundesrath , with the result that no new anti-
revolution bill or labor-tobacco tax bill will
bo Introduce } , and an early close of tha-
ttcichstag session Is therefore expected. Ac
cording to anticipations , the Reichstag will
adjourn at the end ot the month.
CENTRIST MEASURE REJECTED.
Members of the center party today Intro
duced a motion In the lower house of the
Prussian Diet for the restoration of the ciaueo
of the constitution In relation to tiio Christian
church , which was repealed In 1SC8 , but only
the Poles supported It. The six-alters ot the
remainder of the parties declared themselves.
In opposition to the motion and declined to-
enter Into IU discussion. Threupon the bill
was put to a vote and was rejected.
Owing to the Increased price of petroleum. .
Inventors are busy throughout Germany tryIng -
Ing to discover substitutes for petroleum , amj
ono new lamp In which raw alcohol Is used ,
to feed an incandescent lamp Is being tested
with the vtow of displacing petroleum. Em
peror William personally witnessed a series-
ot experiments with this lamp at the new
palace at Potsdam and pronounced the appa
ratus to be calculated to achieve tha desired
result. He also expressed the hope that It
would becoino the lamp of the poor , being
both cheap and better than the petroleum
lamp.
Count von Kotzc , on the personal order ot
the emperor , has called off all the remaining
duels ho Intended to fight against his alleged ,

suspected of being the author of anonymous
letters which caused such trouble In high
oourt clrclea for years.
