BRITISH AND GERMAN
NAVAL MANOEUVRES

Prince Louis of Battenberg to Command
Britain's Fleet on War Footing.
Nev York, May 27.---A Loudon eable
.as: The coming stininiOr SOPIIIS
to WitlleSs 1111USlU1 activity in the fleets
of the principal powers, most ef which
will carry out manoeuvres on a. large
scale, The British fleet, as ill other
soave, will be plaeed on a war footing
at the end of dune, and the etrategieal
ae well as tactical exereises in which it
.will be engaged, will present features of
exceptioual interest and importance,
Soon afterward the German high sea
fleet, augmented by it$ reservedivisions.,
will begin its autumn manoeuvres, in
which for the first time it will have the
services of a complete Dreadnought
equadron of eight battleships and two
battle cruisers.
The Ametieall fleet, now dispersed to
its ports, after the winter manoeuvres
in the Caribbean Sea, anct the battle
spraetice, will at the same time be en.
gaged in its summer drills and exercises,
while the reorganized French fleet, it
is undeestood, will carry out an extend-
ed programme of exercises.
The first official indication that the
Britieh naval manoeuvres this summer
are to be on an exceptionally large scale
is to be found in the appointment of,
Vice -Admiral. Princes Louis of Batten -
berg to the temporary command of a.
fleet during the operations.
Prince Louis is one of the sea lords of
the Admiralty and the appointment of
an admiral for sea service while he is
still serving on board is quite without
preeedent. The step has, therefore,
caused no small comment, as h.as the
appointment of the Pirat Lord'snaval
eetretary, Rear -Admiral David Beatty,
to command a cruiser squadron in the
manoeuvres and the working of the ar-
rangement in practice is eagerly await-
ed. With the exception of Sir William
May, whose seleetion as umpire -in -chief
IS also announced; Prince Louis will be
the senior of the twenty flag officers
engaged in the manoeuvres.
The suggestion made at one time that
press representative e might be allowed
on board the ship uring the opera.
Cone does, not now seem likely to be fol-

EARTHQUAKE
One Registered at Toronto
on Monday.
Toronto, May 27. -The earthquake re-
ported from Hamilton this Dimming as
one of some violence and accompanied
by the upsetting of pictures and (Belies,
was more feebly felt in Toronto and
vicinity, and apparently noticedoi,ly by
individuals here and there. At the oh-
aervatory the seismograph recsaled a.
;quake shock lasting front twenty to
thirty seconds at about eight minutes
.before eight.
The shock, while essentially of the
mature of an earthquake, was of locel
icompase. The fact that it was more
;violently felt in and about Hamilton
!points to its muse 'having something to
do with the Hamilton mountain and the
:earth formation in that section, Similar
shocks are occasionally reported from the

tion similar to those organized on more

respondents were then invited to inspect

merce protection in whieh the mercantile
marine was invited to co-operate was set
by the admiralty for elucidation. its
general idea was that war had started
between A strong =NM pOIVer and a
weaker, but sail formidable one, and all
available shipe were divided into red and
blue fleets, respeetively, to represent
these two imaginary powers. From the
appointments of Sir William Alias' and
Of Prince Louis of Battenberg, it is rea-
sonable to assume that something of a.
similar kind may again be done.
Both these offieere took a prominent
part in the 1.906 operations, Sir William
May in command of the blue battle
still:1(4°n and Prinee Louis in command
of the printipal blue eruiser squadron.
It was Sir William. May who caused
sensation by asserting that he bad held
command of the channel from Ushant to
the North Sea for fifty six hours with-
out molestation and to have made re.
quisitions at Scarborough, Brighton and
other coasttowns.
The number of warships taking part
Will almost certainly show an increase
over the record total of 325, which were
utilized in 1006, but the exact number
will depend upon the supply of men. The

TAFT'S MESSAGE TO
PRESIDENT OF CUBA
Assures Gomez Despatch of Ships Does
Not Mean Intervention.
Washington, May 27. -Feeling as-
)re-- sured that President Gomez has mite
understood the purpose of the 'United
States government in despatching the
large naval force now on IN way to
Rey West, the state department has
instrncted the commander, Colonel
Ranter, to explain the extent to which
,the marines shall be etnployed.
It Is believed that as soon as Presi-
elent Goinet is made aware Or the
fact that there is no sinister purpose
behind the movement of the naval

nothing more than use their forees to
prevent injury to American lives and
property, he no tweet* will objeet.
'The only newt; whieh reached the
state department over night on the

etrike at Havana. Generally speaking,
the prospeets of a temporary settle-
ment at least were reported to be
bright.
President Taft today replied to
President (one' o telegram cif yes-
terday regarding the attitude of the
"[hilted States toward Cuba. He de-
clared the United States govern-
ment's activities In mobilizing war
vessels at Rey 'West and dispatch-
ing the Prairie with marinea to Guan-
tanamo was not in any sense an in-
tervention move. The following is
the text of the message:
"I am sincerely gratified to learn
of your government's energetic meas-
ures to 'put down the disturbance and
to know that you are confident of
being successful. As was fully ex-
plained to the Cuban charge d'affaires
here, this government'S motive in

What Beattie Nesbitt Got
Off Keeley Mine.
Toronto, May 27. -Another effort
was made by Frank Hodgins, K.C., at
the Farmers Bank investigation this
morning, to ascertain from W. R.
Travers, former manager of the de-
funct institution, who received the
money from the $3,000 cheque, the
stub of which bore tue initial "C" but
Travers still refused to answer. Com-
missioner Sir William Meredith call-
ed the attention of Travers to an
article in the 'World, which aimed at
the identity of .the party and said
that in justice to this party Travers
should speak. He- told Travers the
World intimated it was n, former prom-
inent politician now in business whose
name oommencea with "C."
Travers replied that he would say
"yes" or "no" if confronted with the
name but not otherwise,
Travers also testified that Dr.
Beattie Nesbitt had received his In-
terest on the $350,000 on the Keeley
mine without paying a cent, he ha,v-
Ing held the option on It and was
paid $5,000 to bring Geo. Wishart of
New York, into line for re -organiza-
tion of the company. Furthermore,
he declared that nobody interested in
the mine had put up a dollar with
cho exception of the Farmers Bank,
SUFFRAGETTES
Are Allowed to Weal.. Their
Own Clothes.
London, May 26. -The Home Office
has permitted Mr. and .3.Jrs. Lawrence
and Mrs. Pankhurst, the three convicted
Suffragette leaders to wear their own
clothes in prison oad reeeive books and.
food from the outside. They have also
been granted some other privileges which
are generally denied. to those serving
short terms.
The friends of Mr. Lawrence urged
that he was treated with unnecessary
indignity in being sent to the Worm-
wood Serubbs prison instead of Brixton
prison, where specially favored prisoners
are lodged. The Home Office yielded
again, Mr. Lawrence being transferred to
Brixton prison.

• The Railway Board to employ a Chief
Fire inspector for the Dominion, who

that the, Overseas Club was antilkm-

"We are not anti anything. We at. e

The speaker thought that perhaps
one day the club might help to con-
solidate tile 'United States as an
"adjunct" of Great Britain instead of
the United States making an adjunct
of Canada. Earl Grey was character-
ized as being the "fairy godfrather" ol
the club.
Hon, Mr, Poster, in the course of a
notable address, urged a turning point
in the Canadian life from materialism
and the mad rush for money -getting

that we run the risk of forgetting the*

clared Mr. Feaster. "If you set your

of Ottawa is the new wealth and thss

"We are possessed with the idea el

bought a property for $1,200 and then:

because of this inordinate rise in thesi,
price of land. The man who swapsg
houses and land an account of the in-
crease, which he does not add, is not.
adding to the wealth of the land.
"We should begin to modify this mad:
