made by him that the next war of the
Fnited States would be with Germany
and ihe United States would be sup-

the Libre Parole says Admiral Dewey
replied that he would deny nothing he
had said and thereupon advanced the
date ot his departure from Trieste.

The Czar is Weary.
London. August 5.—M. de Blowitz,
the Paris correspondent of the Times,
gives an extraordinary description of
the Delcasse mission. He asserts that
it was decided on quite suddenly for
a “reason which admitted of no delay”
and then gives the story, which he
says he has from a source “to which
I aim bound to attach importance.”
This is the explanation: “Emperor
Nicholas is disappointed and tired of
the throne. The absence of an heir
excites his superstitious feeling and he
feels himself connected with a Rus-
sian legend, according to which an
heirless emperor is to be succeeded by
a (. zai Michael, predestined to occupy I
Constantinople. The death of the
czarowitch and the failure of the con
ference at The Hague led him to decide
to abdicate on the occasion of his cim-
ing visit to Darmstadt. On this be-
coming known in Paris M. Delcasse
was sent in hot haste to dissuade him
fiom carrying out this intention.”

places. He scouted with Buffalo Bill

No Photographs Go with This
a Tidal Wave.
The crew of the British bark Band~<-
neira while on the shore of Chili, pass-
ed through a frightful experience with
a tidal wave, and which, had it not
been for the most remarkable interven-
tion on the part of nature, would have-
left the bark high and dry a mile from
shore.
The Bandaneira sailed from leuique,
March 15. She had loaded there a car-
go of nitrate for the Dupont Powder
company of this city. This town is
practically the center of constant
earthquakes. An observation station is
maintained there from which warnings
are sent to masters cf vessels before
they leave port. The barometer had
been low from March 10. but Canr .. u-iya ted

His assumption was wrong, however
for at noon the following day an im-

miles to the westward rolled ' down
slov/ly upon the bark. As slowly she
commenced to drift toward the coast,

cle. It advanced rapidly, but the bark,
keeping ahead, reached the shore line
first. The coast at this point was flat
j for nearly two miles inland, terminat-
ing abruptly at the base of almost per-
pendicular mountains. Capt. Fant is
sure that the Bandaneira approached /v
within 100 yards of the rocky wal*.
The pursuing volume of water was
then apparently only two miles behind.
Just at the mom'nt when hope was
gone the bark suddenly changed her
direction and receded from her appar-
‘ ently inevitable fate.
An immense waterspout suddenly de-
veloped many miles away, and its in-
fluence changed the direction of the on-
rushing sea. The Bandaneira was
thrown on her beam ends and drawn
almost directly into the vortex of wa-
ters. Two hours later the sea had re-
sumed its wonted aspect, leaving the
bark uninjured.
Capt. Fant is positive that great
damage must have been done the ves-
sels which were directly in the track
of the great tidal wave. The matter
