ocrat of the 27th ultimo men-
tions the arrival there of the
steam yacht Argo from Uhica
go on her way to Galveston
She was placed in dry dock at
Algiers preparatory to making
the Gulf trip The captain
stated to a reporter that she
was to be placed in the hands
of a corps of engineers who in
the interest of the Gulf Const
and Canal transportation com-
pany would survey the coast
from Galveston to Brownsville
The Argowns built in 1878 by
the Ierreshoffsj the construc-
tors of the celebrated Defender
She was according to the Cap-
tain used during he Worlds
fair at Chicago as the pres
idents convoy Her maximum
speed if 22 8 10 thilea an hour
she draws 5 feet 10 inches and
is 100 feet long and i feet
four inches wide his compa-
ny the TimesDemocrat was
informed is capitalized at 2
500000 and will be operated
under a charter granted by the
state of TexaB permitting the
construction of a canal privi
legedto oharge tolls A num
her of prominent Texans in
eluding resident s of Galveton
were seen by the reporter and
Said they knew nothing what-
ever of any such scheme They
had not heard of the passage of
any bill fiprmiiting construction
of a canal privileged to charge
toljs nor had they heard of the
charteringof tfce Gulf Coast
and Canal transportation com
pany Ihey Verified the cap
tains geography however and
admitted the apparent fea ibil
ity of hi plans The captain
stated that the stock Wan all
takM and none would be offer-
ed in the market
It is probable that the com
panymentioned is one whii h
was chartered by the state last
year shortly after a similar
charter had been granted to a
Corpus Christi company for the
same purpose Ihose Texans
who were interviewed by the
Times Democrat must have
overlooked the fact that two
charters were granted at Ans
tin during the past year for the
construction and operation of
an intercoaetal canal along the
coast from the Brazos river to
Point Isabel or the mouth of
the Rio Grande
Joseph Pulitzer lin astort
ished the nation by offering to
take 100000000 in govern-

If Mr Pulitzer is in earnest
one can almost forgive the
k Anglomania in con
nection with tho Venezuelan
question
English poets have at last
been relieved of their suspense

Thb trne situation in Cuba is
hard to divino fmm the di <
patches Accoiding to some
reports the insurgents are
threatening to attack Havana
and according to others they
are rapidly retreating before
the Spaniards Again it would
seem that while one body of
Cubans is ileeing before a
Spanish urnn another largo
f > rce of the insurgents is fol-
lowing the pursuing Spaniards
who in that event must be in
a rather dangerous position
But the government troops at
Havana scout the idea of dan-
ger to that city and persist ih
the assertion that their side is
victorious and the insurgents
routed everywhere The whole
truth will doubtless remain a
mysterj to the outside vorld
until after the war is ended
b3 the defeat of one side or the
oilier
