Nothing bas been beard from the Oregon since she sailed from Callao on April 9, and nothing is expected to be received from ber for a week, and perhaps longer.

Inthe River Platte a Spanish torpedo boat is laying for the Oregon, but, unless caught unex- pectediy, it is not believed the little craft could harm the big ose.
The authorities are not disposed to hold the Oregon south, but want ber with the fleet as soon as she can reach it, and may send the feet to meet her. The Spanish torpedo flotilla would be exceeding!y dangerous for the Oregon, :t is pointed out. There is not the slightest fear of the big battleship not protecting herself from two vessels like the Vizcaya and Oquendo, but it is that little torpedo flotilla that wouid , give her most trouble. %

The Segovia incident was comparatively voimportont. The students of the military, *chool in full uniform packed the depot. They were silent until the the train started, then there was an eothusiastic outburst of cheering for Spaiv and Cuba.
The Valladolid affair, however, threat- ened to be quite serious, Thousands of excited people attempted to invade the railroad cars, but twenty civ!] guards, who , accompanied the train, were compelled to .form in front of Genera' Woodford's , carriage with drawn swords, while civil j Suards of the local force were on hand in case of necessity.

GREW OUT OF STRATHEY CASE.
The Governmeht Trying to Secure Colonel McPherson.
(Sppcrat to Tue Exawiner].
Oraawa, April 25.—The long seiies of difficulties in connestion with the Greas! dian Military administ-ation culminated on Friday with a ,notification from General Gascoigne of his desire to withdraw from the command of the Canadian militia.
On Saturday, Minister Borden accepted the resignation. Sofar as the Canadian Government is concerned in the matter the retirewent will take effect almost at once. The event has been imminent for some time and itis understood that the Minister of Militia bas been trying to secure eervice, of Colonel McPherson, a Scottish offiver, believed to possess par-~ ticular qualifications. It is believed the particular caee of friction which brought about the retirement of Commander is that of Colonel Sirathey. The Minister is dis- posed to allow Strathy to retain his rank on retirement, but the general wast was determined that this should no be done.
ANOTHER PRIZE CAPTURED.

PROSPECTS OF THE WAR
Lonpon, April 23.—The Daily Graphic yesterday printed aleng letter from a naval officer, who says both Porto Rico and Havan& ought to be able to hold their own agai n attack until supported by ships. The United States will be forced to blockade both of these islands, and this, the author of the letter thinks, will occupy that natiod’s entire “fleet, thie. leaving Spaniards free to bombard the coast wf the United States.
Again, the letter saye, Spain is strong enough to defeat either of the blockading fleets which the United States is able to assemble about Cuba and Porto Rico.
In conclusion the writer thinke that the ships of the Indiana class are so prodig- iously over-gonned that they are likely to sink themselves.
An editorial in the Chronicle expressed the opinion that the United States fleet was throwing away an excellent strategic opportunity by going to Cuba instead of intercepting the Spanish fleet,
GREAT BRITAIN AND THE STATES.
Denounced by a French Paper.
Paris, April 23.— The Libre Parole today published a violeat article attacking Great Britain’s attitude towards Spain, and characterizes Great Britain as the *‘ hypoeritical accomplice of the United States.” It saye: “Their alliance is ig- nowiny; bat perbaps it is just ae well that they should work together, for there will be a day when they will be called to account by internetional justice, and that day the British leeeb will be forced te disgorge, aud Europe will no longer tolerate che disgrace of allowing the law to be laid down by such assaseins and malefactors.”
