( CopjrlRht , 1514. Ijy PrfM Publishing Comp-iny. ) LONDON , Feb. 11. ( New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. ) Little of a really definite nature can be deduced from today's ministerial speeches concerning An glo-American relation * , but what was said is distinctly encouraging. No jingo senti ment , at any rate , seems to animate even tlio smallest clique of cither house. For tlio first time slnco his arrival hero Ambassador Bayard was not present at the opening of r.irllamcnt. Doubtless ho was kept awny by his fear of cmbarrnsulng the debate on the Venezuelan question. John Dillon seems the only alternative to Sexton for the leadership of the Irish party , except for the reasons already In dicated In this correspondence. John Parnoll Is talUcd about merely for the Influence of his name , but his candidacy is probably Impracticable. Lord Olcncck , better konwn as Sir Algernon ) Borthwlck , owner of the fashionable Morn- l.ig I'ost , was mvorn In as a peer today , and vast , I am told , the drat working Journalist by profession over admitted to the House of Lards. L-rd Oleneck did not look Imposing In his rrmlno nml scarlet robcH , but Lord Alden- liam formerdy Henry HucUs * Cllbbs , a binl- iicsj man of London City and n famous blmetnllUt , looked like tlio heir of a dozen dukes. Ho was one of the stateliest figures In the chamber. 11ALLARD SMITH. .v iiounTTroii A S > UTTLI : U.VI li from Ilir Throne IiulloiilcH 110 I'nrt of I'liKlnnil'H 1'olli-j. LONDON , Feb. 11. There was an unusual amount of interest In the opening of Parlia ment today. OH Ing to the many Important questions that will como before the present Bissjlon , neraly all the members of both licusca placed themselves on record before the party chiefs ao having heeded the calls for a full assemblage. During the Internals between the last session and the present both IIOUSXM of I'arl'ament ' have been thor oughly renovated and additional electric lighting has been provided. IJotli houses as- uombled at 2 o'clock. There were many early arrivals , anxious to secure good seats. Mr. R. Ashcrott , con servative , representing Oldham , arrived at 5:10 : a. m. and had the licnor of being the first on deck. By 9 o'clock a large number of seats had been taken. The Irish benches alone were not crowded. Many supporters of the government were obliged to stand , owing to the lack of swats. The speaker , Itt. Hon. William Court Gully , took his seal nt lB6 : p. m. and the members filed pasl nnd shoJk hands with him. At 2:05 : p. m. the black rod summoned the members of the House of Commons who were then crowded In the gangway and the ladles back of the speaker's chair to attend the Hoiuw of Lords ) for the reading of the queen's speech. The mace bearer preceded the speaker rho iu turn was followed by the members ci the house , and the procession passed through the membersi' lobby , which separated the legislative halls. The ro > al commission , consisting of five members of the Hojse of Lords , was In Itt place when the members entered. Many women were present In their gallery and there wore a number of bishops and a few pcero In attendance. The French and Gcrmai cmbabslco and a number cf attaches of their embassies ll&toncd to the speech with curi osity. The lord chancellor , Lord Salisbury , flanked by two peers of the realm , also members ol the commission , motioned to tha clerk , who then reid the queen's ) speech. The queen's speech , which was read previous to the opening of Parliament today , and In the customary manner , was as follows : SPEECH FHOM THU THRONE. "My Lords and Gentlemen : I continue to receive from other powers assurances ol their friendly jcntlmenlt1. "An agreement has been concluded between my government and the government of the Trench republic , having for Its principal object a more secure establishment of the independence of the kingdom of Slam , A copy thereof will he laid before you. "Tho commissioner' ) for the delimitation of the frontier which separates my Indian empire and the territory of Afghanistan from the dominions of the emperor of Russia have agreed upon a line , which has been accepted by myself and the emperor. "Tlio government of the United States has expressed n wish to co-opornto In terminat ing the differences which have existed for many years between my Government nnd the republic of Venezuela upon the boundaiy of that country and my colony of British Gu'ana I have expressed my sjmpathy with the desire to como to an equitable arrangement , and I trust tint further negotiations will lead to a satisfactory settlement. - 'Tho ' sultan of Turkey has sanctioned the principal reforms in the government of the Armenian provinces of which , In conjunction with the emperor of llussla and the president of tlio Fri'iich republic , I felt It my duty to press. I deeply regiet that a famtlcil outbreak upon the part of a section of the Turkl-h population has resulted in a series of masificrcs In tlio 14 provinces which have caused the deepest indignation In this coun try. Papers on these IraiifactloiidI11 bo laid before you. "A sudden Incmi'lon Into the South African republic by an armed force from lerrllorlei under control of the llrltlsh South Alrlcan company resulted In a deplorable collision with the burgher forces. My ministers , at the eaillcsl possible moment , Intervened to prohibit , through the high commlislonnr , thin hostile action , and to wain all my sub jects throughout South Africa In taking part In aid of It. The origin and clrcum- blnnces of these proceedings will form the subject of a searching Inquiry. AUTHI ) WITH MODERATION. "The | resident of the South African rcpuh'lo. acting In this matter with moderation and wisdom , agreed to place the prtoners In the hands of my high commissioner , and I have undertaken to bring to trial the leaders of the expedition. The conduct of the president upon this occasion , and the assurances which lie Jiao voluntarily given , lead me to believe that ho recognizes the Importance ) of redress ing tlu > lopltlnnto grievances of which coin- no * ueen mauu uy a majority of the porwns no A inhabiting the Transvaal , " The speech concludes with references to the Chltral nuil Ael'nntl expeditions , and sujs : "While I rejoiceto be able to announce that the objects of the Ashantl oxpedlllnn have bo-Mi aibl' > vcd , without blo-dtihcd , I have lo deplore the lots from the SHUT UPS of tlio cllnute of some valuable lives , Including that of my helm oil con.In.lawPrince Henry of Jijtienburp , who voluntarily placed his serv ices at the dli-pjbltlon cf mvsplf and h * adopted eounto , 1 nnd my dear daughter nro greatly touchi-d and comforted in this * j lirivy bereavement by the widespread asm- pathy shown by my subjects throughout the iMiplio at homo nnd abroad , " In the second mesMige. or portion of the nurcn'a speech addressed to the House of Commons , her majesty says : "The estimates have been prepared with the utmost regard for economy ; but the exigencies cf the times require the Increawd expenditure. " In the third message the queen remarks' "My Lordu and Gentlemen : The extension mid Improvement of the naval defense } of the empire la the mott Important subject lo which jour efforts can be directed and will douMlefM occupy your most earnest attcn- tlcn , "I rcsrit to that the . wy toi.Ullloa t > f hus bandry IB disastrous beyond any recent ex perience. Measures will be laid before you with the object to mitigate the distress In that Industry. " The cpcech then announces the approaching introduction of bills for the assistance of voluntary schools , providing compensation for Injuries to workmen , to amend defects In the various Irish land acts , for the avoidance and settlement of trade disputes , to facilitate building Ught railways In the United King dom , for checking the Import of destitute aliens , to Institute a board of husbandry In Ireland and other minor purposes , The convention of Parnelllto members of the Irish parliamentary party today decided to Introduce three amendments In reply to the queen's speech , Including home rule , political amnesty and local government re form. At a meeting of the radical party of the House of Commons today It was decided to support the general principle of arbitration In any differences arising between Great Hrltiln and the United States. The prlnco of Wales , the dukeof York , the duke of Connaught , the marquis of Salisbury and other distinguished personages were among those present In the House of Lords during the reading of the queen's speech. The princess of Wales was In the peeresses' gallery and there was a largo number of ladles In the side galleries. When business was resumed In the House of Lords Daron Stanmore moved the address In reply to the queen's speech and In so doing expressed sympathy with her majesty and the royal family In their grief over the death of Prince Henry of Ilattenberg. Baron Stonmoro also congratulated the government on Its atti tude toward Urltlsh Guiana and sa'd there was no subject for dispute , ns It wan as reasonable to question the Urltlsh claim as It would bo to raise a similar question with respect to the concession of the channc ! Island , which once belonged to the duchy ol Normandy. Lord Rosebery complained of the meager program of the government. GUARANTEE OP PERMANENCE. Proceeding with his remarks , Lord Hosc- bery referred to the ominous omissions from the queen's tpcech of the tisunl reference to the friendship of foreign powers. He ridi culed the fulsome eulogy bestowed upon Col onial Secretary Chamberlain , "as If no prc- vloui Urltlsh minister ever did his duly , ' remarked hlsi lordship He approved the government policy In the Transvaal , but ln > thought It unfortunate that the new poet laureate had been permitted to publish a glowing eulogy of the Jameson raid. He warned Mr Chamberlain , In boasting cf his conduct of the colonial policy , not to Indulge In public reflection calculated needlessly to Irritate the foreign powers. The Venezue'a difficulty , ho said , was no new one , and they had all tried their hands at it. But now the Intervention of the United States offered a guarantee of the permanence of any settle ment that might be effected. He Interpreted the reference In the queen's speech to mean that some negotiations were progressing be tween England nnd America. He rejoiced at the announcement , because It Indicated a way out of the Issue from the Impasse pro duced by Lord SalUburj's dispatch anJ Pres ident Cleveland's mess-age , and gave promise that the United States would see that Vene zuela faithfully executed any settlement ar rived at. Ho welcomed the movement on both sides of the Atlantic In favor of per manent arbitration. Turning then to the subject of Armenia , Lord RoEcbery said he hopsd the house woulc' receive fuller Infornntlon than was con tained In the curt , cold allusion In the queen's speech , Lord Salisbury's brave words to ward the sultan , he said , had not been fol lowed by brave deeds. The noble marquis had been forced to abandon the cause ol the Armenians. Surely some course mlghl have been adopted between a crusade ane apathy- The marquis of Salisbury , the prime minis ter , was received with loud cheers as he arose to leply to the criticism of Lord Rose- bery , the ex-premier. He slid : "No sym pathy with Armenians would Justify un In facing calamities , compared with which the Crimean war would sink Into Insignificance. " After a feeling reference to the death of Prince Henry of Battenberg , Lord Salisbury denied that anything had been given up In the Slam agreement with France. HELPED SETTLE THE ISSUE. Turning then to Venezuela Lord Salisbury concuired In Lord Rotebery's views , that America's" mixture In the dispute has con duced to secure results mora rapidly than If the United States had not Interfered. Speaking of the Venezuelan controversy , Lord Salisbury , replying to come points made In Lord Hosebcry's seech , said"I do not think the Invoking of the Monroe doctrine was controversially quite necessary for the United States. Considering the position of Venezuela In the Carrlbcan sea , It was no more natural that the United States should take an Interest than wo should feel an Interest In Holland mul Belgium ; and from that point of view I trust the negotia tions will continue. I do not like to go further Into a question obviously undesirable to state the conditions of negotiations at present , but I have an Increasing belief In the past few- weeks that ve shall , perhaps , not till after long negotiations , find some satisfactory settlement and all danger of a rupture of relations between the two nation ? be entirely removed. ( Cheers. ) "At the sumo time I do not wish the house to think wo have airived nt any agreement. I think wo are rightly relying upon the ques tion of arbitration. Amer'ca attaches more unrestricted value to tint mode of adjust ment of contrcvcrsles than ban hitherto been done here , but I believe that means may be found by a combination' negollillons with arbitration to bring the matters which arc not dlfllcult to a settlement. The great ob stacle has been Vene/uela's extravagant claims' , nnd It was not following the cus tomary International policy when Venezuela broke off diplomatic relations because they rould not obtain the precise limit of terri tory they dcilred. Hut for tint action 1 bolluvo the dllllculty would have been settled long ago. " PHEFEnS THE MIDDLE GROUND. With reference to permanent arbitration , the prlmo minister expressed HIQ belief that botwosn the extremes of unrestricted arbi tration of nil subjects , which It was Impos sible for the two nations to adopt , and the formei practice , which restricted rrbltratlon to little , a middle term may be found which will effectually diminish the chance of conflict. . "Now ns to Armenia , " was Lord Salis bury's way of taking up the next topic of his speech , "Lord Roscbery's speech In de nunciation of Ihe ) government nould have been mora formidable If It had any founda tion'In fact , but I defy him to find any stip ulation In ( lie Derlln treaty that couhl be construed Into nn undertaking or threat to tight Turkey en behalf of the Armenians. " Hn warned the sultan , he continued , of what would happen If ho Ignored the- opin ion of Europe , and ho repeated that tliu sultan was running very great danger In uch defiance If ho rclItU upon the European fear of what would happen If the Turklih emplrri disappeared. Ho was Inclined to think that Europe would delay > ucli n cat3itiophe > nlong as possible , Irjt if tlio preiont state 01 tilings continued , iu natuial consc-qiicnces could not bt indeflr.ltely delayed.

( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Gen eral Wovler had been In Cuba but a few hours when he Issued a scrlea of proclama tions and addresses which clearly demon strated the policy ho Is determined to fol low In his dealings with tlio revolutionists. lie states in unmistakable language that he will tolerate no Interference with his pur pose on the part of anybody , but has come here to protect all loyal citizens and to punish all enemies of Spain and sympathizers wllh the Insurrectionists. The first address Is Issued to the Inhabitants cf Cuba In gen eral , the seccnd to the volunteers and fire men , the third to the army and the fourth to the navy. Ho praises the troops anil urges them to continue In the good work. The most significant part of his proclama tion , which he cntllles "A circular , " Is ad dressed lo the generals commanding the army corps and divisions , the brigadiers , the civil nnd military governors , the com manders of columns and other military chiefs. He calls upon them to arrest and Ir rll cases to hold for his disposal or to tiant over lo the proper tribunal all persons who In any way give aid or display sympathy loward the rebels , and that his policy will bo culded entirely by the conduct of the In surgents themselves. WILL STOP AT NOTHING. He announces frankly and squarely thai It Is his decided purpose to make use of al the means necessary to conquer this Insur rection. Ho makes It perfectly clear bj the language of his , declarallon lhat whilst ho Is d.sposcd to give protecllon to all who remain loyal he Is resolved to deal rigorously with all who in any way aid the enemy laud or pralyo Ihe insurrectionists or belittle Spain's prestige or that of Its army volun teers. General Weyler , In crlliclslng the cnduc ! of the military campaign Just past , sajo that In future it will be necessary that towns shall offer resistance when rebola al- tcmpt to pass through them : lhat his army must be furnished vv.th guides , and lhat II must not happen ngiln that the enemy Is more quickly informed as to the movements , of Spanish columns than the Spaniards are about the v. hereabouts of Ihe Insurgents. Early In the day , while personally addrew- Ing the colonels of the volunteer regiments General Weylcr said : "I am aware cf your great value and I trust you will unite jour battalions In giving me your uncond tlora support , which I require to bring the war to a speedy end. I rely on you. Hero there must be none but Spaniards. Separatlsl poli cies must be laid aside until the warp ended and wo must think of nothing but to save the nation. I have nol come to engage In pel lies. Surely you will not permit poli tics In your battalions ULACKS WILL UE WELCOMED. "Natives who side with us we shall em brace as brothers , Both -white and black. I bear no ill will toward negroes. During the last war my escort was entirely composed ol negroes , and they gave me very valuable aid. These men who are In arms against us wo shall meet In war. Thosro who surrende- lo us shall be pardoned. " Then , turning to a group of minor volun teer officers , General Wojler continued : "Lot there bo no politics in time of war. Let the government decide pollllcal Isaacs Nothing must bo done here detrlruenlal lo Ihe honor of Spain. Wo arc all Spaniards , and must Join our cffoits for the honor of our coun try. " These words were received with loud cheers , by the crowds which filled the room. A group of navy olllcers came up and Genera Wejlcr , after shaking hands with them , said- "I alro rely on the unconJItlonal support of the navy , which rendered me great as sistance during the last campaign , nnd with out which I should have been unable to ac complish whaO I did. The navy can contrlb- ulo largely , and much Is oxpeclcd of II loward finishing Ihe war. " There are no reporls of any engagements today. A small rebel band burned a few houres at Santa Maria Uosarlo yesterday , a small town ten miles southeast of Havana. It Is rumored thai ofler Iho last ongagc- menl between Iho Spanish and the Insur gents , under Maceo , the latlcr came casl , en deavoring lo Join Gomez. I understand that both Maceo and Gomez have decided to quit Havana province nnd return to Matanzas province. LOCATING REUEL LEADERS. It Is reported that Captain General Wey ler received his first message today as to the whereabouts of the Gomez columns. Gomez v.as at San Jose- , seventeen miles southeasl of Havana. The rebels burned several culverts near La Sagua , on Ihe Weslerji road lodny. They were probably Macco's columns moving easl lo Join Gomez. General Mai In sailed loday for Puerlo , Rico , where ho will assume Ihe ofllca of governor. A number of pollllcal prisoners , arresled In Iho easlern part of the Island a few days ago nnd mil lo Havana for deporta tion to Africa , were set at liberty today by order of General Weyler , because theIn - foirrallon on which Iho arresls wcra made was grourdloss. It la olllclally reported that a rebel band on Sunday attacked Oulra Macuilges , a town on the Matanzas ft Sabinllla railway , and was repulsed by the garrison , consisting of ninety Spanish soldiers. The rebelti lost two killed and one wounded and the Spaniards one killed and one wounded.

HAVANA , Feb. il. The grealcrt nctlvlly was displayed In military circles today. The festivities In honor of the arrival hero ol General Wcylcr , the new captain general who landed yesterday from the steamship Alfonso XIII , , are ended and another chapter In the history of the Island of Cuba has been opened. At the captain general's headquar ters Iho roporls ho sent for upon his arrlvla yesterday , telling of the number of men avail able for active service , the number Of sick , the quantity of ammunition and supplies tn Ihe possession of each column or detachment , the state of the country road * , railroads ami telegraph lines and the probable location and strcnglh of Iho enemy , were being collccleO and tabulated by a number of clerks. The captain general Intended to have the whole ctluallon laid out clearly before any move ments of Importance are undertaken. It Is understood that step * * arc being taken to organize a largo cavalry brigade for Im mediate ecrvlcc. Considerable difficulty is being experienced In securing the necessary animals , na a great number of them have been corralcd by the enemy , Uut U Is ex pected lhat Iho efforts of Iho captain general will result In strongly reinforcing the mounted Infantry now at the disposal of the Spanish commanders. Orders were Issued Uils morning from headquarters lo make considerable Increase In the number of armored railroad cars for the use of troops. These cars have been ol great assistance to Iho Spaniards tn pre lecting convoys of provisions pawing through parts of the country Infested with insiirgcnl bands. Pilot eng nes are sent ahead In order lo guard against Iho explosion of dynamite along Ihe road and then comes" the military train Itwslf. Some limes there are two of these aimorcd cars attached to ono train. One armored car Is placed Immediately after the engine nnd Ihe other brings up the rear. Doth are filled wllh troops and aro. protected with boiler Iron In most cases , although this has been found lo bo of Insulflclbnt ptotecllon In nearly all cases , Insurgent bullets passing through the cars. Therefore 'recently the armor plate has been Increased. In thlckncs ? . ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT. Dut there Is room for considerable Improve ment oven now. Tor Instance , news was re ceived hero this morning thdt the Insurgents , had succeeded In derailing a1 pilot engine be tween Collti2o and Sumldcrd. The work was done so effectively that the. military train with KB armored car was under Ihe fire ol Iho Insurgents very soon afterward , but thanks to Ihe galltnt defense of Iho military detachment defending It Iho train was res cued. In addition a passenger train at Retraces has been derailed , plundered and burned The tns'jrgcnls have also burned the rallroai ! stat'on at Nieves , as well as jdeslroylng by flro there a number of cars. ' Further details received from Collsco con firm the report that the escort of the train whose pilot engine was derailed near that place made a really heroic defense , but , as already staled In those dispatches , the pro- tcctlcn afforded by the aimored car was not sufficient and seven civil guards were Killed. The remainder of the escort vvas compelled , It now appears , to retreat to 'a plantation near ColU'eo. The InsurgenVloss was Ivventy killed and a number wounded. The passen gers of the waylaid train highly praise the conduct of the corporal who Was in command of the detachment of civil guards In charge of the train. General Jcse Miceo and ( nine other per sona who have been in prison for some time past at Puo-to Padre on the charge of con spiring against the government have been ordered to bo transported to the Spaniel prisons In Afr'ca. They hava "made every effort possible to obtain thfir'release , claimIng - Ing that nothing has been rrpven against them , , bul in obedience lo superior orders Ihoy will shortly bo embaYked fofAfrica. The Insurgents are reported lo have ap Vaed In force , although divided up int "small bands. In the vicinity ofMutra Melena , they attacked. Guira Mellua , which Is about due south of this city , has frequently of late been the scene of Insurgent operations. Upor this occasion Iho enemy made a slrong al- lack upon the tevvn , vvhie.li was defended bj n small force of volunlcern and civil guards The latter , however , had asaamed good portions tions behind breastworks nnd in the most advantageously slluated housas. From theB point- ) they made a hero'c reslslnr.co and eventually repulsed the Insurgent attack Valentino Mcndez , the Insurgent chief who led the Insurgenl altack upon Guira Molina , was among tha killed. SURPRISED THE VOLUNTEERS. A detachment of Insurgents has surprusd a number of vcluntcer'j in a plantation near San Marcos do Macurljes , province of Plnar del Rio. The volunteers , wfio are paid to have numbered twenty mdn , defended them- delves gallanlly against super or numbers , but the Insurgents charged upon them with machetes and cut down nnd Wiled nine ol the Spaniards. Upon the arrival of reinforce ments for the volunteers 'Iho Insurgenls re- Ircaled in Ihelr cuslomary manner. General Maximo Gomez , the Insurgenl com- mander-ln-chlef , camped lasl night at Iho planlallcn of Urugua , near Ssn Anlonlo do Las Vegas , aboul Iwelvo miles ooulh of Hi s city and n little north of , Bojucal.

EL PASO. Tex. , Feb. 11. ( Special Tele gram. ) El Paso presents a picturesque nnd stirring scene this morning. The town is overrun wllh strangers , the sporting element largely predominating , nnd the ono subject Is fight. That the big mill will como off Friday morning thereIs absolutely no doubt , oven If the men meet In private. The program now Is to pull the affair off on n slrip ot disputed territory In the bed of Ihe lllo Grande , four miles west of the city. There arc forly Tc\as rangers under com mand of Captain llrooks , who wllh all his men Is dead stuck on seeing Ihe fight como off , and Interference at their hands Is not apprehended. Governor Aliumadn of Chlhuihua arrived in Juarez this morning and the minister of the city have Just gone over Ihe. river lo con- vcrl him. The belling on Ihe FllzslmmonB- Mahcr flglil Is oven this morning , with lots of Mahcr stuff In sight.

Dan Stuarl Is confident the prominent c-porting men from the north nnd cast will como In tomorrow , six Pullmans leaving Now Ycrk Sunday evening. GIUSWOLD. EL PASO , Tex. . Feb. 11. A sign In big red and bhck letlers was placed In front of Dan Slunifs ofllce this morning , an nouncing that rates could be learned and Inggago checked within. This Is lo get the approximate number who will go to the fight , which event now seems at-sured. The piaco of meeting Is , of coursw , secret , nnd no ono will know until Iho spol Is reached. Seven additional Texas rangers reached hero this morning , miking thirty-two now under command of Adjutant General Mabry. It is reported that the Mexican ruralcs are gathering across the river at Juarez. A number of excursionists from New York and other eastern points arrived today , and larger numbers are repotted on the way. The ministers of El Paso decided this morning lo open , a board of foreign missions against prize fighting. They went tn a body across the river to Juarez to see Governor Ahumada to get him to take acllvo steps against the designs of Dan Stuart to bring off Iho fight on Mexican soil. Stuart , how ever , remains confident , and declares the fights will surely come off. There Is no doubt thai ho will keep his word so far as Ihe big fight Is concerned , and the chances are very strong that ho will keep It as re gards the most. If not all , of the lessor fights. Captain James Lawler of Houston , who had been selected as final stakeholder for Mai cr and Fltzslmmons , telegraphed that ho would not get hero on account of slck- IICES , and Tom O'Rourko was chosen In his Etcad. Dan Stuart , Sam Austin , Uuck Con nelly , Martin Julian and Louis Houseman just met In the First National bank and Gtuart detios'lted , the $10.000 purse wth | O'Rourke. Connolly , who is Iho moneyed man behind Mahcr , says that Mayor la in fine condition and eager to light under any conditions , or at any piaco. There Is a growing sentlmenl in Ihe Irishman's favor. GRISWOLD. HAS FAITH IN THE TIGHT. Consul Ilufurd , Iho American representa- tlve nt Juarez , thinks the Fltzslmmons fight will take place. He to declared In nn Inter view this morning. What action ho will take he detllned lo say , but admllted that ho had received Instructions no to what he was ( o do In the event that the pugilists at- lempled to meel In Iho ring. "I believe lhat the big fight vvlil take place , " the consul said , with an nir of con viction. "No , I shall nol FCO II. I might wore the conditions cancelnlng mo hero dif ferent. I have received Instructions from Washington. They are , of couiso secret , and I am not at liberty to talk. I am convinced , however , lhat Ihe fight will take place. " The Impression prevails that Consul Bu- ford has Information thai makes his dec larallon authorltollve. and hla manner when ho said Ihe big mill will bo brought off , con voys the Imprcs'lon that ho speaks by the card. Nor are the declarations of the gov- 01 nor of Chihuahua and Ihe major of Juarez greatly out of joint with those of fhe Amer ican consul. The gist of the Mexican of ficials' remarks Is , "If we can prevent it , the fight will not take place. " The governor ana mayor seem lo doubt their separate and joint power to prevent the fight. Miguel Ahu mada , governor of Chihuahua , arrived right from the Beat of the government of tha state. Ho was accompanied by the guberna torial guard of fifty stale iroopers , Infanlry from Iho garrlfon mel Iho governor nt the Mexican Central railway ntallon and acted ay an escort.
