While the majority of the papers allude with pleasure to the references to the queen In yesterday's celebrations at New York and Tampa and In the prayer of the chaplain of the senate , the Morning Post has allowed to appcar In its columns a violent denuncla- lion of' America from the Hon.

It says regarding the disposition to blame AmerIca for the slow progress of the war : Sailors who know thb Pacific and the Caribbean seas are well aware flint delay Is the essence of a naval war. They remember - member that Nelson found it diliheult to dIe- cover the Spanish fleet somewhere between Jamaica and Cadix , and they realize that this slow procession Is not interesting. The presence of the gunboats around the sullen islands means that tile American omdors are getting the range of. every gun of the batteries that will later oppose the landing of the troops , Just as Nelson ( lid on a aim- liar occasion , Tile Weetnilnlater Gazette strongly advocates - cates a distinct understanding between the United States and Great Britain. It says : The AmerIcans are not going to step out of their continent without raising a variety of questions which will Involve them with the European powers. Their Monrooiam , Insofar as it relates to South 'itinerica , Is likely to be questioned anew and a Euro- penn squeeze Is likely to be applied to them from many 1)arts.

Here a conpany would charge and put to retreat a detached squad of the opposing command ; elsewhere skirmish lines were thrown out and at times forced back. As timbered ace- tions Were reached , skilled movements were made to gain shelter of the trees. Repeated charges were made agaInst General Punt's front , only to be gnUantiy repuiai'd. The dougllty conlnlallder hind lost none of the spirit that characterized him upon the same field when it ran red with the carnage of the actual battle a third of a century ago. At last , Generals Compton and Rulings decided upon a combined front alld flank attack. Time Second brigade attacked time front , while time Third was throwit to Gout- oral flurt's right flank. Right gallantly was the new mnovt'mcat met by the First , but at last the Third succeeded ill outtianklug the First , and gained the rear , cutting off General Burt's retreat At 11:01 o'clock time "battle" was declared to have been won by Generals Compton and Rulings.

Both eyes weme badly Injured , and the vision may be destroyed. Bad blood was engendered by the accident and the men rushed together. it was only by the coolness - ness andipresenee of mind of officers that bloodshed Wa. . averted.

The fact has also developed timat at least one nmembcr of thue conhmnitteo is personally of tIme opinioll that no appropriation should bo illado under tile circumstances. Tile Indications are , however , that thmis rule will not prevail unless - less SOnIC OOfl act of imositility should hi committed by the French veoolo amid so long as tIme French government continues to declare its good will. The prevailing opinion among tile corn- mitteemen seems to be that the wise amId proper policy is to proceed in tha matter just as would be done if there were no war on. Some of the representatives of the house on the conference are of time opinion that the senate provision looklmmg to the ultimate expcndituro of about $750,000 Oil the exposition is too liberal , and that It would be at any time more timan this country - try would be 'justified In expcndiimg upon a foreign exposition. They are advocatimmg a reduction to the extemmt of a third of that amount , placing the limit at $500,000 and it appears probably that this chahge zimay ho made. However , tilts Is not decided upon , nor is anything in connection with the provision. All that can be said dell- flitely now is that the committee as a whole is favorably disposed to snake provialoirfor an exhibition of American products at Paris that W111 do credit to our couhtry amid be an earnest of our good will toward France. It aay be added that some mcmii- bers of the commqtce oven feel that the diplomatic situation is such as to render It more expedient than ordinarily would be the case to act liberally in , jhe matter now and it Is understood that the administration has quietly presented this view , There is a feelIng that time appropriation should be made , and If subsequent dcveiopnlommts should prove its expenditure unwise the president can be trusted to act in uccord- anco wIth the best Interests of the country.
