THE INDIAN FRONT.ER Fighting Supposed to be Ended Catcerra, March 21.—Fighting on the Northwest trontier i8 now regarded as ended, the rebels having given the seventy hostages demanded. me SPAIN AND THE STATES. DIFFERENT CONCLUSIONS ABOUT THE MAINE, Beth Nations Still Preparing For War Maprip, March 18—The following semi" official note was issued here resterday : ‘ The report of the Spanish commission on the Maine is not yet known, but the state- ment of several techuical ctlicers, who have made aclose examination of the | scene of the disaster, show it was indispu- tably due to an internal accident, Ameri- can assertions to the contrary are therefore depiored in official quarters as tending to mislead poblic opinion and render the situaiion 8 i:] more difficult from the stand point of waiutaising friendly relations between the two countries. Wasuincton, March 18.—The Spanish minister called at the state department at 3 o’clock yesterday and remained with Judge Day overan hour. Both parties to the couference were extremely reserved at its conclusion, The semi official statement given out at Madrid aivancing the government view that a demand of indemnity based on Spanish responsibility for the Maine ex- plosion would be indignantly repelled by Spain, attracted much interest ip official circles, ‘here has been little doubt for some time that Spain was preparing for the contingency Of an adverse report by the American court of enquiry, and to that end was preparing to anticipate and cfiset if by making clear the governmeut' policy of stands ing by the report of the Spanish commissicn. The repori of the latter body was due in Madrid yesterday, and while its conclusious are not officially known, it is a foregone conclusion that it will fiud that tne Maine disaster was due to accident, resulting in internal explosion. Wasuixcton, March 18.—The first dis- buraement under the recent act of of con- gress appropriating $50,000,000 for the pational defense hav been made by the treasury department on an executive order £30,000, or $145,995, has heea cabled to Lordon to the credit of Sir William Armstrong in part payment for 12 rapid-firing guns, inciuding moaats and ammunition for the war departnent.

Perkins &Co | COGENT ILLUSTRATIONS, — ——~ --—— Vastness of tha McKenzie Mann ‘‘‘coop"’ The Montreal Star offers the following illustrations of amount of territory that has been given to Messrs McKenzie and Mann by tho Laurier Government. 1t enys : People of this Province may from some idea of the magnitude of the grant by considering that the tract of territory which inciudes the counties of Hunting- don, Chateauguay, Napierville, St. Johns, Laprairie, Iberville, Misisequoi, Rouville, St. Hyacinthe. Vercheres, Shefford, Brome, Stanstead, Sherbrcoke, Bag t, Drummond Richmond, Richelieu, and Yamaska ¢om - prises 3,839,843 acres. Ifthe Province of Prince Edward Island were only three times as Jarge as it is, 1t would be just ubout big enough to pay off McKenzie and Mann’s mortgage. Unfortunately, it only contains 1,280,000 aeres, Ontario men will form a better idea by bearing in mind that the counties of Glengarry, Prescott, Stormont, Dundas, Russell, Carleten, Leeds, Grenville, Lan- aik and Frontenac contain 3.809,894 acres, Irishmen throughout the world would be ablaze with indignation if the British Government proposed to give away the Province of Connaught or the Province of Leinster. Connaught, which includes the counties of Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Leitrim and Koscommon, bas 4,233,239 acres; Leinster, which includes the counties of Carlow, Dublin, Kildare, Kilkenny, Kinge, Longford, Louth, Meath, Queens, West- meath, Wexford and Wicklow, comprises 4,838,261 serea. We hardly like to hint at a comparison to Welshmen, because the MecKenzie and Mann grant may turn ont w be bigger than the whole of the principality. Wales contains 4,734,436 acres. Englisbmec will be glad that MacKen- zie and Mann are not permitted to select their lands inthe old country, because they conld, and, no doubt, would gobble up the whole of the Six Home Counties, t Middlesex, Sussex, Surrey. Kentt, Essex and Herts, coneisting of 4,086,948 acres. “The loyalty of Scotchmen is as admir- able as their business capacity, but wmat would happen if the British Government dared to suggest the giving away of the countiesof Ayr, Linlithgow, Edinburgh Haddington, Berwick, Peebles, Selkirk Roxburgh, Damfries. Kirkcudbright Wig- town. Yet these counties with their 3,882,249 acres, might come short of eat isfying McKenzie and Mann’s claim. “In return for this princely gift, Mac- Kenzie and Mann are to build for them- selves a bit of railway about four times ae long and half as good as the Montreal and Sorel.” ll nna Carter's for Wall Paper LOCAL NOTICES, New Carpets.—Have you seen our new carpets yei?
