It was probably considerable. The splaslees

Killed at close Range.
The engagement began with desultory
firing at the pickets, a thousand yards
Inland from the camp. Capt. Spicer's
company Was doing guard duty and was
delven in, finally rallying on the camp,
and repulsing the enemy by 5 o'clock.
The bodies of Privates MoColigan. and
Dunphy were found, both shot in the
head. The large cavities caused by the
bullets, which, inside a range of 500
yards, have a rotary motion indicate
that the victims were killed at dose range.
The bodies were stripped of shoes, hats
and cartridge belts and horribly muilated
with Inathetes.
Tbe sky was blanketed with clouds,
and when the sun set a gale was blowing
seaward. Night fell, thick and impene-
trable. The Spanish squads, comsealed in
the ohaperel cover, bad the advantage,
the Americans on the ridge furnishing
fine targets against the sky and the white
tents. The Spaniards foeght from cover
till midnight, discoverable only by flashes,
at which the marines fired volleys.
The Marblehead launch, a Colt nsachine
gun in her bow, pushed up the bay, en-
filladlug the Spaniards, and it is thought
that sonee were killed.
The ships threw their searchlights
, ashore, the powerful electric eyes sweep-
ing the deep tropic foliage and exposing
occasionally skulking parties of Spann
ards. taols discovery of the enemy was
greeted by the crackle of carbine fire
'along the edge of the camp ridge or by

If something has not happened to pre-
vent it, Gen. Shatter sailed from Key
West Sunday night with the first division
of the U.S. arsny for Santiago to Desloge

with about 16 convoying warships com-
prise the expedition.

Liverpool, Juno 18. -Steamers which
have arrived from Sierra Leone report
that a thousand persons were killed in
the recent uprising in that district. One
hundred and twenty inhabitants of Free
Town, roost of them traders, are known
to have been massacred, and other colon-
ists were carried into the lamb by the
warboys and undoubtedly met a worse
fate. Three hundred friendly natives were
killed, and besides the white missionaries,
six colored mis,sionexies of the United
Brethreu of Christ were murdered. The
English missionaries are at the mercy of
the warboys, but have not been molested.
Easton Preston Arrested.
Toronto, June 13. -Easton Preston,
son of Edmund Preston, and nephew of
Provincial Librarian W. T. R. Preston,
has been arrested in Newberry, Mich.,
and will be brought to Toronto in con-
nection with the alleged coal fraud cases
preferred by E. .A. Macdonald against
Noel Mareball and Edmund. Preston.
Some book e which have a most important
bearing on the case have mysteriously
disappeared, and therehas been much
trouble concerning their absence at the
sessions of the preliminary investigation
of the charges, which have been already
held in Pollee Court. Soon after the open-
ing of the case young Preston went to
Michigan. He was followed a few days
ago by Detective Cuddy, and was taken
into custody on Saturday, charged with
stealing the missing books.

appreciate that he spoke as he did atter
consideration and not from the inspire -
tion of the banquet cup. His personality
Is knowa trona Irkutsk to Washington.
The cold-bloodedness of his nature gives
authority to the statement that his
speech et a week ago NVIIS it dirrect warn-
ing to centinental Europe that in time of
need the Anglo-Saxon would be a unit
against the Latin ana the Stet. Mr.
Chamberlain is just that much differene
from .e.rthur Balfour that be is rarely
thought to be in jest, while the latter is
assumed to be never in earnest.
Gladstone has moved Ins hist way to
under the roses of Hawarden; Salisbury
is tottering and searching for life at
Riviera. Balfour may yet be Premier,
but it all tokens be not false, Chamber-
lain but a few days ago spoke for an
hour when he will bo master and bis
Neill direct an alliance with the 'United
States if they wish it.
Everyday people always enjoy the story
of the life of Chamberlain. Ilis begin-
ning was not along the smooth path
opened for Balfour. His father was a
London sboomakee, who made some
money off of solos and uppers. He made
good shoes and the boy was designed to
succeed him at the altar of Crispin. He
showed no unwilliugness to do so until
fate led him at 18 to Birmingham and
placed him with a firm of wood screw -
:makers, in which he was eventually to
beemne the principal factor.
He came out of the University College
School in 1854 to make his home in
Birmingham, and In the letter of intro-
duction which he carried with him there
to friends was the sentence:
"Please be kind and see as much as
you can of poor Sloe, for be knows nobody
In Birmingham."
Time was notrequired for his masters
ta Item bins, though. He was taciturn,
but brutally in earnest. He went at the
business of making screws just as he has
undertaken everything else in his long
career. His first dive into the world of
trade was in an effort to make screws
obeaper and better than anyone else on
the market did. He succeeded. Literally
be reorganized the world's xnarket for
wood screws. Whore there had been cut
prices, trade depression, no profits, he
created unity, profitable sales, active
demand. He concerned himself with the
minutiae of his shops, studied the con-
dition surrounding his men, uncovered
coal mines for bis own supply, became
the owner of the raw material be needed,
entered into partnership with his
employers, rose to the head of an estab-
lishment employing 2.000 men, and
found a wealth producing an income of
$150,000 annually at his disposal.
All this he did in twenty years, for it
was in 1874 when he first really entered
the political field of the British Empire.
Understanding this much of the man
It is not difficult to appreciate why, as a
statesman, his utterances are taken to
represent the sentiments of commercial
England, and the foundation of the throne
of England is 110t to be found in war-
ships, but her °Immo roe.
Mr. Chamberlain was not content,
while a tradesman, to be merely that. He
could not make a public speech, so he
taught himself oratory. He joined
Birmingbara debating societies and
spoke until a freedom of manner came to
him which was attractive. He kept
himself loaded with lads. Possibly realiz-
ing that his voice and his personality
might ,always be against him as a
popular orator he built his strength as a
speaker upon his knowledge of the
details of nearly every subject under tbe
BUIL Your Englishman likes solid facts
more than oratorical flourishes in a
speech. He took to Chamberlain's
mastery of facts, upheld as they were by
Invective, irony, satire and ridicule, with
huge delight. In time he called
Chamberlain "The People's Joseph."
Once a speaker with a reputation, Mr.
Chamberlain launched into the field of
municipal reform. He found Birming-
ham a squalid, dirty, unhealthy city. He
was elected mayor over and over again.
He rebuilt the streets, tore down tbe
rookeries, sewerect the had places, fought
ior municipal ownership of tramways and

that it does not become the purgatory of

A perfect system of unity for Imperial
England can never comprehend an
alliance with any foreign power of
Europe or Asia. That alliance, if to be
made, must be with the Anglo-Saxon or
Celt (as you choose) of America, and Mr.
Chamberlain, in the opinion of diplomats
in Washington, has but rorewarned the
world that if not to -day fifty years hence
tho United States ancl England will be
as one in smatters of external policy.
He is supported in his position by the
Dram of Fife, by Sir Charles Dilke, by
the Duke of Argyll, and innumerable
eminent public men of England.
With a voice whioli they say resembles
that of a "London cabby," Mr. Chamber-
lain has smote:tied in teaming the world
of diplomacy tie al has not been stirred
in years. Not even the war with Spain
has given so much coenern as this speech
from the lips of a Cabinet Officer of
England, But then air. Chamberlain
never does anything, they say in bis
home, that is not extraudinary and
worthy of the closest, consideration. If

a huge monocle and an orchid you will
