Isolation of Great Britain In lior
Foreign Policy—Tho Venezuelan
Controversy Complicated with the
Threatening eastern War Cloud.
Recent Diplomatic Events.
Washington, Oct. 28.—Complications
of the eastern and western hemispheres
aeein to be strangely intermixed just
now, so far as can be judged from the
general trend of diplomatic gossip and
other confirmatory sources of informa
tion. A particularly strong undercur
rent of secret diplomatic information
generally gives some surface indications
discernible by experienced observers.
Suggestive manifestations of this kind
have been veTy noticeable within the last
few days with regard.to the Chinese-
Venezuelan situation.
Chinese-Russian Treaty.
Notwithstanding the fact that Shang
hai has been generally and justly dis
credited as a source of accurate informa
tion in regard to Chinese and Japanese
complications, statements originating
there in respect to a treatv with China
securing to Russia u northern Pacific
terminus for its groat Siberian railroad
are generally accepted here as true. Ngr
is any doubt cast upon the other state
ment from the same source that a fleet of
fifteen Russian warships lias sailed for
Fusan, the Korean port nearest to Japan,
and barely twelve hours distant from the
Japanese mainland.
Grave Com plica I lons Probable.
It is also regarded as certain that this
movement on the part of Russia will
bring about grave complications with
Great Britain as threatening the secu
rity of the British eastern empire. The
general tone of diplomatic discussion
also recognizes the fact that Great
Britain stands alone among European
powers, without one ally upon whom she
could rely.
The Venezuelan Controversy.
It is under these circumstances that
the Venezuelan controversy comes under
consideration and becomes mixed up
with the threatening eastern war cloud.
While it is not supposed that hostilities
between the United States and Great
Britain can result from British in
fraction of the Monroe doctrine in Vene
zuela and the alleged ultimatum said to
have been addressed to that little re
public (which ultimatum, by the way,
has not yet appeared in evidence), never
theless the urgency of tho situation has
been recognized in two very significant
ways.
Wo May Rely on Russia.
The first has relation to the farewell
visit of Prince Cuntacuzeue, the late
Russian ambassador, to Secretary Olney.
It is stated on good authority that the
Russian diplomat's leave taking was
given especial significance by his recall
ing the ancient friendship of Russia to
the United States as manifested by the
Emperor Alexander dispatching a Rus
sian squadron to New York when France
and England threatened to recognize the
southern confederacy. Prince Cantacu
zene, it is said, intimated, in guarded
diplomatic phrases, that should similar
emergency arise the good ofllees of Rus
sia could again bo depended upon.
Importance of Intcrviow Enhanced.
The imporance of this interview was
enhanced by an immediate manffestu
tion of excessive courtesy on tho part of
the leading remaining members of the
Russian legation towards the Venezue
lan minister in Washington. Formal
visits were exchanged in a manner most
unusual in the iuter< >nrso of European
diplomats and tho representatives of
American states, whose inter
change of courtesies lias always hitherto
been restricted to public functions and
ceremonial occasions. The absence of
any conceivable motive except an expres
sion by Russia of friendly interest in be
half of Venezuela in its controversy
with Great Britain for these unaccus
tomed diplomatic calls has given them
much importance.
England Isolated.
These diplomatic "straws" indicating
the course which Russia would take in
the event of tho United States contro
versy with Great Britain reaching an
acute stage have brought out another
significant and hitherto unpublished in
cident which illustrates still more
strongly how completely isolated Great
Britain is In its foreign policy. When
Rio Janeiro was being bombarded by tlse
fleet of Admiral Mello with a view to the
restoration of tho Portuguese monarchy
and before our Admiral Ben ham broke
the blockade, Great Britain proposed to
send a squadron to Brazilian waters
which would outnumber the American
forces.
Franco Also Our Friend.
When this intention was made known
the French minister in Washington, by
instructions of his government, waited
unon Secretary Gresham and gave him
the assurance that for every additional
warship sent by* Great Britain France
would send two. That intimation was
enough; no more British ships wero sent
and the attempt to re-establish imperial
ism in Brazil fell to the ground.

\ Hold Crushed Between nil Engine

t Easton, Pa., Oct. 29.—8y a misplaced

1 of South Bethlehem, a brakeman, was
standing between the tank and engine.

that position for almost an hour before I
1 . the wreckers could move the tank and
engine apart. When they did part Gog
ler's left foot and part of his leg fell to
the ground. His right leg had a largo
gash in the calf, lie was removed to

THE MAINE'S DEFECTS. I
Secretnry of tho Navy Herbert Says
They Are Not Important.
Washington, Oct. 29.—Secretary Her- ! ,
bert has made the following official ,
statement about the defects in the Maine:
"The Maine was designed to be on an j
even keel at her normal draught of 21 ; ,
feet 6 inches with 400 tons of coal on J i
board. She has now been fully loaded I (
with over 800 tons of coal and her !
draught forward is two feet five inches I
greater than aft. This is not uncommon. I 1
Many other ships when fully loaded are '
I down by the head more or less. When '
tho ship lias been at sea for a few days J 1
this will bo corrected in great part at j
least by using the coal which is generally 1
taken from the forward part of the ves- *
sel. As to the listing of the Maine to
the starboard, this is not a matter of t
importance. It can be easily corrected j
by adjustment of weights in loading." I <

Santiago tie Cuba, Oct. 17, via Key
West, Oct. 29.—0n the banks of the
Bayamo river, between Corojo and Santa
Barbara, a short distance from the city
of Bayamo, there was a short but bloody
encounter on September 24 between part
of the forces of the rebel leader Rabi,
under his command, and a strong Span
ish column, 800 in number, under
Colonel Tovar.
Kcbrla in Ambush.
The rebels were lying in ambush on
the right and left of the road along which
the Spaniards were advancing. They
allewed the vanguard, 200 in number, to
pass unmolested, as well as a section .of
guerrillas, but when the main body of the
column arrived, 300 of Hahi's men, armed
with rifles, opened fire from their posi
tions and almost destroyed the main
column. After the # tir had lasted an
hour Colonel Tovar, seeing that he was
losing many men, ordered his vanguard
to be reinforced and ordered the use of
the bayonet.
Forty Killed and Wounded.
Rabi lost no time, but with 250 f his
famous cavalrymen, attacked the Spau- |
Ish centre and rearguard. The Spanish
commander could not resist the attack, j
and orilored a hasty retreat, leaving on ;
the field forty killed and wounded whom
his men were unable to carry with them. I
The rebels had five killed and ten
wounded, and captured a quantity of
arms nud ammunition abandoned by the
Spanish.
Battle of Chlvo Mountain.
On September 25 the Spanish General
Echngue with 8,500 soldiers met with
tho vanguard of Antonio Maceo on the
Guyabal river, district of Holguin. Tho
vanguard had been sent to draw on
Echague and his men to the top of
Chivo mountain, where Antonio Maceo
was awaiting them with 2,000 infantry
and 700 cavalry. During the march the
rebels were constantly firing on tho
troops, and after throe hours' fighting
the troops retired without daring to ad- !
vance to the top of the mountain. The
Spaniards had more than eighty killed
and wounded and five soldiers were taken
prisoners. Tho rebels had three killed
and nine wounded.
Attacked by tho Rebels.
Col. Zamora with 700 regulars of a
body called the Guerrillas of Commerce
left Dnracoa on the 6th inst. for Mata
Bay, where his forces encountered a
body of rebels. The latter made a brave
defonsein spite of the help the Spanish
troops had from a gunboat which con
stantly fired on the insurgents. After
leaving Mata Bay, on the return to Ba- !
racoa, the Spaniards passed Mount Cn
piro, where the rebel leader Gil had 500
infantry, very well distributed, who
opened fire on tho Spaniards.
Another Spanish Defeat.
Both sides fought bravely for nearly
five hours, but tho insurgents had a bet- |
ter position than the Spaniards, and got i
the better of it. The Spaniards pro- I
cetded to Baracoa, as they saw it was im- j
possible to reach tho summit of the !
mountain where the rebels were. They !
carried with them eighty wounded, ;
among them tho guerrilla captain Claro j
Diaz, a Cuban, who fought with the |
rebels in the ton years' war, but who is
now on tho Spanish side, and live other
officers this after burying nineteen!
soldiers. Tho insurgents had only lour j
killed and fifteen wounded.
Captured n Gunboat.
