IRISH LOCAL BILL PASSED.
(Seeciat To Tae Examiver.]
Lonpoy, July 30.—The Irish Loca’ Bill passed its third reading in the House of Lords with some unimportant amend-~ ments:
The Qubec papers are pointing out that when b.r. Tarte was in Opposition he des livered a speech in Parliament demand- ing that judgee should be nomiuated by the bar instead of being named by the Government of the day aad appointed for political services. Now, as the Montreal Gazette remarks, we have the Chequette case. {[t is difficult to believe that Mr. Tarte could have proposed a reform. But hedid. And, like the rest of-them, be does not intend to carry his reform into effect.
One of the most essential conditions that | knowof, in the growing of a good fleece of wool, is the keeping of the sheep; in a good condition all through the year and, whenever there is a fa!ling-off in con- dition, the staple is affected.

THRILLING ESCAPE,
The Story of a Spanish Captain.
TELLS HIS SORROWS To A CIEN- FUEGOS PAPER.
Details of the Loss of the Sranish Steamer Alfonso XII.
a ee
Gvuaxtanamo Bay, July 28.—The fol- lowing is a translation from a newspaper of Cienfuegos of the loss of the Spanish steamer Alfonso X1I, which was driven ashore on the coast of Cuba by the United States auxiliary gunboat Hawk :
“Yesterday,” says E! Correa, of Havana, “there arrived here the survivors of the fine trans~Atlantic steamer Alfonso XII, which was scuttled in the waters of Mariel. Witha natu’ | desire to obtain information which w uld calm the an- xiety of the public, ve interviewed the survivors and ascerts ped that they were rendered nearly inse: jible by fatigue and anxiety. They were jo faint from walking from Mariel to Guz ajay and their hands were badly Jacerate in violent and futile efforts to save carg .
“We will faith? (ly relate that which occurred, resery’ g what in our judgement is not permitte’ to give to the public and what might s ,ve as advice to our enemies.
“The Alf aso XII. was fitted out in Cadiz witb Ax canpon, the necessary crew, three cop ganies of marines, and other necessaty articles. ‘In twenty days,’ said her cap‘a'n, ‘I hope to make port and land the cannon aud troops. I navigated the Alfonso XII with hope in God and in the valor of my own crew. I ran with all pos~ sible speed to the heighis of Cienfuegos, where came out three cruisers of the enemy. Szeing then: the Alfonso X11 took ftight toward the Isle of Pines, iu which waters | Jost sight of our pursurers. :
Believing | »yself now free from pursuit, I laid my course directly toward Havana with the full intention of making that harbor. When eight miles distant my course was intercepted by three cruisers, which I was unableto encounter. The American cruisers took positions on my port and sterboard and ahead.?l t cn steers ed the Alfonso XII, toward Mariel where 1 hoped to enter with the exclusive object of disembarking. I decidedto save the cargo as the object in coming was to land provisions and cargo on the island.
I saw an embarassing situation. The Yankees began throwing shells which landed in all directions sround the ship, which proves that we have said a thousand times, that the Americans are not artiller- ists and out of the hundreds of projectiles thrown at Alfono XII only eight strack the ship.”
“This corroborates the opinion of their bad training. Then Capt. Moret ordered the cargo to be thrown overboard in order that come of it might float to the shore which was but a pistol shot distance.
“We got out a boat,” he says. “and pre- parei totorpedo the shire | saw the Am- ericans would not delay destroying the fine ship and therefore placed an explo-~ sive bomb between tne two funnels and instantly blew np the ship in a column of emoke, so dense that it made breathing d fficut. Thus hes been consumed tae best ship of the Trans-Atlantic company and the pride of the fleet.
The Annepolis, Waspand Levden of Thursday sank in Nipe bay the ®3panish gunboat George Juan, which was well armed,
Information Las been received of the withdrawal ofthe Spanish troo.s from Ghara. from which place there is a rail- road to Holguin.

CROMARTYSHIRE NOT TO BLAME
LaBourgogne--Cromarty-,
shire Disaster,
CAPTAIN SMITH’S COURT GIVES A DECISION.
Interesting Incident After the Deci-
sion Was Delivered.
Hawirax, July 29.—Captain W. H. Smith, R N R, gave his decision yesterday in the La Bourgogne—Cromartyshire in- vestigation. A fier reviewing the evidence, the ‘commissioner commented at some length on the details of the disaster, after which he read the court’s conclusion, which was substantially as follows:
1. That the master of the Cromartyshire implicitly obeyed the regulations to pre- vent collisions at sea.
2. That the fog horn was properly sounded.
3. That a proper lookout was kept.
4. Thrt the speed of the sailing vessel was moderate.
5. That the Cromartyshire was kept on her course according to the rules.
6. That the copduct of the master in saving life was highly commendable.
7. Thatthe master of the Cromarty- shire is entirely exonerated from all fault and bis ceri‘ficate is him.
8. That the officers and crew are also free from blame.
An interesting incident after the delive~ ry of the formal decision was witnessed when Cayt. Douglass called Capt. Hender- son to the bench and said: “I have very great pleasure in returning your certificate to you. | am sure you have been a very successful master,°’

THE SURRENDER — OF MANILA,
Said to be Expected Every Day,
DEWEY ASKED FOR AN EXPRES« SION OF OPINION;
oe ee
The Cuban Junta is Greatly Exercis- ed Over the Sitnation.
Wasiixetox, July 29—News of Maniia’s surrender to Dewey is expected daily. Yesterday there wae a noticeable move ou the part of many ;gentlemen who are de- tained hers by the to leave for their vaca- tion in anticipation of early peace. But today the idea is somewhat changed and trunks remain unpacked and the gentle= men are again settling down to work. Hows ever, there is no change in the peace situa- tion.
It is believed personally that President McKinley would liketo get clear of the Philippines, but is determined to go slowly. i
1 am told trom an official source to day
that the president has cabled Dewey for au expression of opinion of the Philippine question. _ One point that must not be overlooked is the fact that the president cannot give up the Philippines or any other islahd of Spain seized by American forces. That power liesaione with two thirds of the senate, The Philippines are at present ia the possession of the Americans and must so remain until two thirds of the senate "_e the contrary,
"he most excited body of men in the United States is the Cuban Junta. Cubana in the field have driven the Cubans here almost crazy. The latter see public Opinion turning against them. The prizes they have been working for years are likes ly to slip through their fingers. They don’t blame the American government, ia which they have utmost faith and to which they iiavéever shown themeelves amensble, but they heap Simprecations oa the Cubans in the field and have been wir- ing then: to do’ everything Shafter says and even, if necessary. to stop eating long enough to do it or words to that effect.
