NEW ALLIANCE MADE Great Britain and Portugal Come to Terms: BOTH FOR OFFENSE AND DEFENSE tasrland Will Control -TJelaaroa Bay and Belra, GIviHff Her New Gate irays late the Boer Country. LONDON, Feb. . There exists today what practically amounts to an -offensive and defensive alttan-e between Great Britain and Portugal. For the past week and longer there has been circulating through the BagHsh press. Irrespective of party lines, a nervous ap prehension oC Baropeaa opposition, and a still more nervous appreciation of the fact that Great Brtain, at the present moment, ie unable to face it Nvlth honor to hersf f. Constant editorials in the most uasensatlonal papers have almost devel oped this phase of the agitation into a national nightmare, which is not at all Justified by the tenor of the Continental news published in the English papers. li the general demands for an increase in the active naval and military strength, openly urged to enable Great Britain to cope with the most aggressive movements that could possibly be credited to Russia, France or Germany, were only correlative w.th the extent to which Great Britain has been drained in order to support her 'ou'h African war, these manifestations of the press and constant public anxiety would be understood; but the clamor for a great standing jirmy and naval mobili zation so much exceeds the comparatively sdght deficiency in the defensive poten tiality caused by the war in South Africa that an impartial observer can scarcely help coming to the conclusion that there Is more under the surface than news from the Continent conveys, and after a careful Investigation, the Associated Press learns that this impression is quite correct. In the first place, much of this press clamor for a tremendous armament in order to meet unforeseen emergencies is originally inspired with a view of com pelling parliament to pass quietly any financial measures proposed by the gov ernment, and to make the same popular with the people, who, through additional taxation may be called upon to add their m tes toward the stupendous plans now pending to place the British empire upon a military eminence so supreme as to be beyond the fear of opposition. Lord Salis bury himself ie, perhaps, more independ ent and more regardless of newsnaper in fluence and the aid of advertising than any statesman of the day, yet at this crisis he has not disdained to use his Im mediate subordinates as direct agents to foster, among the leading London dallies, put lie agitation magnifying the possibili ties of foreign interference and minimiz ing the capabilities of home defense. Bus. e.as activity in China and Persia, and French and German antagonism are freely paraded before the nation as an Incentive to be up and arming, even if it needs to be to the point of putting into operation the militia ballot act, which is almost fronmous with conscription. Yet the accounts of anti-British activity all the w orld over, as dished up for British readers, are not causing the foreign office aiy serious anxiety, and they do not in clude the real reason for the tremendous military activity, which is a determination to convince Portugal that It is advisable to meet Great Britain's demands regarding the ports essential for carrying on the Boer ar. namely, Delagoa bay and Belra, and at the same time, having secured Portugal's assent to every proposition made to be in a position to support that country against a united European oppo S)t on, , No word of this is printed or hinted of here but a representative of the Asso ciated Press learns that immense pressure Is being brought to bear upon Portugal by Continental powers to prevent her from g. ng aid to Great Britain. Portugal's minister here, Senor Pinto de Soveral, is a most as much an Englishman as a Portuguese, and his government is only too willing to do everything, far beyond the bounds of neutrality, to help Great Britain to protect Portugal. Lord Salisbury is determined that this Ehall be done, and is counting on the co operation of bus countrymen to put the nation on a footing to defy European opposition. He has this week taken defin ite measures regarding the aforementioned port that can only be described as daring. P rtugal, bending to the modicum of co ercion and convinced that Great Britain is ab'e to uphold her, has -acquiesced un til there practically exists today an al 'ance of the strongest fiber between Great Br tain and Portugal. Yesterday, lor reasons of diplomacy, nothing could be m-r quickly officially denied In London .r Lisbon. It is scarcely necessary to s?y that all the foregoing is gleaned from the highest sources and is based upon un iirpeachable authority. It has been a great week for the government. As foretold in these dis patches. Lord Salisbury held his own in parliament and with the country. Te disunited liberal party was no match fir the conservative organization, and even the small minorities mustered into the lob bies tfi ere largely leavened with discontent 1 members, who. much against their will, i- rd In favor of the party amendment. Th rushing government victory in the ty- flection at York, and the definite Irerk between the liberals and the rc i." ted Irish, leaves the field clear for the lr' n power. V -cacly a mooting of the liberal party Yzz been called to express confidence in Its leader In the house of commons, Sir Kenr i ampbeM-Bannerman. and it is free ly rum ired that he meditates throwing up t 'Lanklees taek of the nominal leader ' p nd that the opposition is turning W r il cj es In the direction of Lord Rose berj That so-called seMynx. however, is nust i o astute tp retakethe guidance ot eu h an Li-condemned body during a pc M 6f crucial in the country's history, ar 1 lu ugh, gpaomedically. he evinces a c r. to re-enter the AeM of active poli- cf 1? is the last man. in the world to take fi p.g in a poke. Hence, the re ma "d r of the session wfll probably be or marked by desultory opposition, the . b -als taking the middle-of-the-road i.cirsf and the Irkm adhering to out-and-cut derunciatlon of the government and its war ut neither will be able to prevent the chance ,or of the exchequer. Sir Michael K k-Beach, from passing any, financial measures he decides upon to meet the Jtre mendous drain caused by the hostilities. In the same way, the hand of the aecretary f the war, the Horqu.s of Lamdowne, cannot be to-ced and whatever explanations, inves tor ticms or reforms may be forthcoming j relation to Great Britain's military sys tem the must await the consent of that r jeh-ebused cabinet member. The reunion of the Irish members, under Jhr Redmond, may be regarded more rjs a personal triumph for that stalwart Independent than as having a serleu b a ring upon the politics ef the Immediate f t ure The organs at all the Irish parties i-e unanimous in declaring he is the right man lr the right place. Yet. since the downfall of Charles Stewart ParaelU Mr. Ivedmond s hand has been against almost c en other man's, steadfastly refusing aH compromise until, by sheer strength of ,. smarter he has forced Ms countrymen to c knowledge hie aMIltles as a leader ot no mean order. However, while his party t unues to act -without aluance with any Lnghsh section, he can accomplish prac t t" noChW- the present leMtitous organisation r- es permanent, which some people 4Hfet. ft Py powerful factor after the conclusion of the war, especially sub sequent to the next general 'election. But. until then, It is hard to see how the Irish members can effect anything, except In termittent obstruction and perfidious ad vocacy of the Boers' cause, which dally diminishes the possibility ofecuring home rule. However, it must always be borne in mind that the government's supremacy would be considerably modified In the 4 event of an overwhelming defeat or failure to obtain some definite and important ob jective. But such is Lord Salisbury's strength and eo inured has the nation grown to reverses, that it Is scarcely feas ible to conceive that the greatest of such disasters could accomplish the complete downfall of the present ministry. The most instructive index of public feel ing Is the cessation of bitter criticism of the government by the leading -organs after the voting In "the house of commons and at York had proved that, right or wrong. Lord Salisbury's cabinet retained Its hold. "With the exception- of Joseph Chamber lain's statesmanlike speech, Timothy Healy's stands out as a bright exception to a rather featureless debate. "While he stirred the anger of the liberals and con servatives alike ahd .Outraged their patriot Ism, Mr. Healy was unanimously, though grudgingly, accorded praise for making the finest rhetorical effort heard since the houses convened. His delivery and language were worthy of Edmund Burke and the best orators who have spoken the English tongue. And those who art saying this have added in the-same breath that the man ought to be'sbot for a traitor. The serious illness of General Sir "William Lockhart, commander-in-chief in India, will probably oblige him to Teturn home. He has not been well since he went out, and his duties have greatly devolved upon Hajor-General Sir William G. Nicholson, the. adjutant-general, who has now gone on Lord Roberts' staff. Another staff officer, to whom Lord Roberts Is reported to submit all strate gy, is Colonel Henderson, Tvho gained a reputation by a "Life of Stonewall Jack son," and a minute study of the civil war. Countess Russell, who has recently been torulng In "A Runaway Girl," announces that she Is going on the music hall stage, and will do a song-and-dance act On the Metropolitan stages the sole novelty Is the revival of "Dandy Dick" at Windham's. As predicted last Saturday, the new Gaiety piece Is a great success. E. S. Wlllard denies the report that his reappearance on the stage is imminent. He says he has completely recovered his health, but he adds his holiday Is much too pleasant to be Interfered with, and he has "no Intention of acting until his re turn to England in November. The centenary of theblrth of the late Willipm Henry Fox Talbot (February 11). the father of photography, is being cele brated by raisins a memorial fund, which Is to be devoted to the restoration of the church at Laycock Abbey, Wiltshire. Tal bot's old, home. His services to photog raphy have been reviewed in editorials. Morganatic marriages are becoming pop ular. It is finally announced that. In spite of all denials, the Crown Princess Stephani, of Austria, widow of the Crown Prince Rudolph, will marry Count von Lonyay, March 3, and now, according to Vanity Fair, the heir to the Austrian throne. Archduke Ferdinand, three months ago married Countess Chotek, for her sake, resigning his claims torule. She is a handsome lady-in-waiting of Princess Stephani. The forthcoming marriage of Lord Chesterfield to Miss Edna Wilson will be a brilliant affair, and will set prece dent at naught the bride earing a -satin train embroidered with silver lilies, doves and stars, while the bridesmaids will wear scarlet cloth coats, with triple capes, and picturesque felt hats. Lord Chesterfieldts gifts to them are big sable muffs, Instead of the orthodox bangle, while his gift to the bride Is a diamond tiara and a. check for 2000. Once again this week the little band known as the Dickens Society gathered in Westminster Abbey and Placed wreaths on the tomb of the novelist, to show that his anniversary was not for gotten. Among the many floral tributes was one inscribed "Annie and Edwin Drew," while several Americans were among those who, In the quiet poet's cor ner, listened to the low-spoken address of the society's secretary. The abrogation of the Bulwer-Clayton treaty Is the source of copious comment In the weeklies. The Saturday Review cavils at Great Britain for "giving up rights," maintaining that nothing will be gotten from the United States In return, and saying Great Brltalrrs magnanimity will be mistaken by congress for a desire to avoid complications on account of the troubles in South Africa. "Because the Americans speak English," adds the Saturday Review, "and the plu tocracy of the "United States Is united by family ties with the directing class, aristocratic and otherwise, of Great Brit ain, Is no reason for ordering our affairs with them on other than business prin ciples." The Speaker, on the other hand, says: "Certainly It Is not in our Interest to avail ourselves of diplomatic technicalities In order to prevent a result which is In evitable." 'All the papers unite in declaring Secre tary Hay has secured a diplomatic tri umph. ItOBEKTS' MOVEMENTS SECRET. Reason to Believe He Will Advance Toward Bloemfontein. NEW YORK, Feb. 10. The war office in London has given out no confirmation of the report that General Buller's forces had retired again to the south side of the Tugela. The Boer telegrams have been generally correct hitherto, however, and the public Inclines to the belief that the report is accurate. The London morning papers publish dispatches from various sources which Indicate that Gen eral Buller had found his position on the Vaalkrantz ridge a difficult one to hold, and the silence from the war office is taken as corroboration of the report that the third attempt to relieve Ladysmlth has failed. The military critics are almost unani mous in the belief that Ladysmlth can not hold out, against another Boer attack. One London paper strongly hints that General Buller's operations are for the purpose of distracting the attention of the Boers from a projected central ad vance by a strong force, presumably head ed by Lord Ttoberts. The government announcement that In three weeks' time Lord Roberts will have 194,000 men In South Africa Intensifies the public curiosity to unveil that closest offi cial secret as to where this stupendous force is. High authorities agree that Lord Roberts, after safeguarding his communi cations, will have only from 35,000 to 40,000 men for his northward march. Estimates of how many Boers he will have to face are mere guesswork, so much depends upon the late of Ladysmlth and the num ber of Boers released from that point. Extraordinary efforts have-been made by the censor to conceal Lord Roberts' des tination, but the general idea seems to be 'that he. contemplates an advance towards Bloemfontein. A lato dispatch from Sterkstrom states that a British patrol, consisting of a sergeant and six men, of Brabant's horse, at Brown's farm, was surprised and cap tured early yesterday morning. The re lief sent, from Penhoek blundered on 3C0 Boers. One man of the Cape mounted rifles, whose horse was shot, was cap turned but the others escaped. A French man, who is supposed to be a spy, was caught and brounhi to Sterkstrom camo. There has been no further fighting to day Patrols sent out this morning from Penhoek report having seen nothing of j any Boers, DEWtY NAILtP A LIE NEVER. PROMISED THE FILIPINOS THEIR INDEPENDENCE. Howard W. Bray Denounced as a. Disreputable Adventurer News of the Transports. NEW YORK, Feb. 10. The Tribune says: "I have ntver by- word, act or Inti mation, either personally or through a representative, conveyed to Agulnaldo or any of his associates the assurance that the United States government would rec ognize Filipino independence." The foregoing statement was made by Admiral Dewey in the most emphatic tone last night This declaration waa brought forth In a discussion concerning the repeated assertions" that Admiral Dewey, while in the Philippines, consult ed with Agulnaldo and told him that the United "States would recognize the Inde pendence of the Philippines. The state ment was elicited principally "by an article bearing upon this subject, which waa sent to the Tribune for publication. The arti cle was shown to the admiral In his apartment at the Waldorf-Astoria. The admiral read the article carefully. The article contains a letter signed by Howard W. Bray, who Is alleged to have acted as interpreter between Agulnajdo, Consul-General Pratt and Admiral Dew ey. Mr. Bray asserts that Agulnaldo had an interview with United States Consul General Pratt at Singapore on April 26, 1S9S; that the condltons of Aguinaldo'a policy were clearly stated; that these were submitted to Dewey and that the lat ter cabled with all haste to Hong Kong and that Dewey brought back Agulnaldo to Luzon under promise of independence. When Admiral Dewey had read the ar ticle, he said impressively: "I have some reports, documents and statements before me which I intend, upon my return to Washington, to submit to the senate committee on foreign relations: It Is better, however, to strike thi3 He as It arises, and I will answer the charge as It comes. I never flaw this man Bray. I never knew him. I never heard of h'm except as a disreputable adventurer in the pay of the Filipino junta. So far as this story concerns me, there Is not a word of truth in It" Admiral Dewey then took up a report which he had before him. It was type written and destined to go to the senate. It was made by Lieutenant R. F. Hall, ch'ef engineer of the Petrel. It was a voluminous document and set forth In detail all negotiations which Captain Wood, at that time in command of the Petrel, who acted as Admiral Dewey's representative, had In dealings with the Filipino junta In Hong Kong. Lieuten ant Hall set forth how the Filipinos, through a' banker named Levy, asked for an Interview with a representative of Ad miral Dewey. The interview was ar ranged and Lieutenant Hall kept the ap pointment In his report he tells in de tail of the meeting, who attended It and what was said. The salient point made by Lieutenant Hall Is concerning Aguln aldo's attitude at that time. This inter view was at Hong Kong on April 6, 189S. "When Agulnaldo was asked, so the lieu tenant, who Is now at the Brooklyn navy yard, reported, 'what part he Intended to take In the war which seemed Inevitable between Spain and the United States, he replied that he had made an agreement with the Spanish government to leave the Philippines; that he had received a prom ise of a sum of money for so doing, a part of which mpney had been paid, and he did not care to break his word or take any part In the probable war between Spain and the United States." "I never had any dealings with Emillo Agulnaldo," continued theiadmiral. "Xou see, I never even called him 'general.' You see now jUst where the matter rests. I want you to nail this He hard. You can say, as coming from me, that It Is absolutely false." CRUELTY OK A TRANSPORT. Inhuman Treatment by the Mate of the DlcClellan. NEW YORK, Feb. 10. Serious charges of cruel treatment, said to have been committed aboard the United States army transport McClellan, which arrived here yesterday from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Santiago, Cuba, were brought to the notice of United States Commissioner Shields by A. S. Barnwell, one of the crew of the vessel. As the transport Is lying at a Brooklyn pier, Barnwell and his wit nesses were directed to the federal au thorities In Brooklyn. The mate and the boatswain's mate of the McClellan are the persons accused. Barnwell, whose homo Is In Fernandlna, Fla., told Commissioner Shields that the first day out from 'San Juan, a discharged soldier named Schwein, who was a stow-a-way on the steamship, was discovered and there were believed to be other stow aways aboard. He was asked where they were. The soldier declined to tell or even explain how he had managed to conceal himself on ( the boat, and Barnwell alleges that Mate Merlthew caused the man to be shackled and strung up by a block and tackle to the metal funnel guy. The man's hands were fastened above his head, and every time the transport rolled,. Schwein was carried off his feet The stowaway was strung up for over an hour, and then, when let down, he was set to work cleaning ship. At Santiago Schwein was put ashore. Barnwell related another incident which occurred on a previous trip. There was on board then a discharged army team ster named Curtis, who had been supplied with transportation and rations by the United States quartermaster. Barnwell asserts that the McClellan had hardly gotten to sea when Curtis, who was classed as a passenger, was ordered to work. Refusing io comply, Mate "Merl thew, Barnwell alleges, had Curtis shack led and strung up to the funnel guy. After he had been strung up for over an hour he was handcuffed and kept a prlsoner1 until the transport reached Santiago, where he was forced ashore. ,. Barnwell says he complained to thos In charge of the United States army trans port servlco. but geltingno satisfaction, he decided tD resign and expose the cruel ty In the federal courts. Barnwell wa? accompanied by another member pf the McClellan's crew, who corroborated the story- Another Case on the Meade. SAN FRANCIgCO. Feb. 10. P. S.

The Marvel of Medical Science Which Astonishes Peo ple Throughout the Country by Wonderful Cures. A cure for consumption has at last been discovered! - And the treatment whlc.h accomplishes it will revolutionize medical practice throughout the civilized world! , By the aid of powerful microscopes Dr. Slocum, of New York, located the deadly bacillus, and by culture was able, after I long experiments, to definitely solve the mystery of germ .growth. Consumption depends for existence upon living microbes or bacilli In the lungs. Kill them and the lungs will some times heal themselves., But nature sel dom performs this duty,' with the result that the ravages of consumption have caused more deaths than any three bther diseases combined! Even the black plague of China and India which has swept away millions, is not to be compared to con sumption's death harvest. The Dr. Slocum System of Treatment cures consumption by killing the short, curved or rod-shaped organism known as a bacillus. The lung cavities are then vitalized and the tissues healed. The treatment also extends to the mucous surfaces of the lungs and throat; the general system is toned up and healthy flesh built. Future attacks are thus ren dered practically Impossible. The consumptive bacillus Is the greatest menace to life of any evil known since man was created. t feeds and thrives on weak lungs; its presence is a constant menace in diseases of the head and throat, which answers the question as FREE TREATMENT To demonstrate the value of his new discoveries, Dr." Slocum has arranged to send to every reader of The Oregonlan a FREE course, consisting of the four preparations (the Slocum System) to all who write for them.

Physician Discovers to why these latter eomnlliviMnns lenr! 'to consumption. , Realizing the enormous field for oper ation, there has been prepared at the Slo cum laboratories full free course treat ments, which are being sent out to all applicants In this country and Europe. The Slocum Treatment is the triumph of the new century, and cures, besides consumption, all pulmonary diseases. It cures old stubborn coughs and "colds, grip and its terrible after effects, catarrh and bronchitis. It makes weak lungs strong and able to withstand the most rigorous northern climate. For the weak, thin man or woman whose countenance plainly depicts wasting away and blood poverty, the Slocum discoveries will give health, happiness and "renewed life. Dr. Slocum's marvellous triumph will make his name live In medical history as long as time endures, for he has de voted a busy life for the benefit of man kind. White Pasteur first discovered the consumption bacillus, yet it remained for Slocum to discover the treatment to kill It and save tens of millions of lives. F,our separate specifics are combined in the Slocum System of Treatment, each working In harmony with the other. They are not patent remedies nor comihon cure-alls, but instead a series of scien tific cures from the Slocum laboratories, where the great scientist has conducted his Investigations before visiting physi cians of renown, students and investi gators, who have given him their hearti est praise.

To the specialist be longs the cure of chronic diseases, the lifting of the light and darkness and shadow of life, long cndurcilj the restoration of courage and good, cheer, health and happiness, from the permanent discouragement, morbid melancholy, weakness and certain abnormal decline of chronic disease. Great specialists could not be re stricted to isolated manifestations of constitutional malady. No impres sion could be more erroneous than that the work of Brs.

Their work embraces all , chronic diseases, which they treat with uniform success. Five dollars a month is the only fee, and includes all necessary medicines. Great numbers of people suffer from the malign poisons of catarrh, as from other subtle chronic mala dies, without any correct or definite idea of the nature of their affilction. The following symptoms have been carefully arranged, to- enable many sufferers to understand just what it is that alls them. Many diseases, known under various specific names, are really of a catarrhal origin and nature. Every part of the mucous membrane, the nose, throat, eyes, cars, head, lungs, stomach, liver, bowels, kidneys and bladder, are subject to disease and blight by ca tarrh.
