LIBERALS Lack of Leadership Has Sadly Disorganized the Parry. MANY LOST OPPORTUNITIES A Session Heinarkuble for 3Ilnl,ter lal Ulin.ders and Misdeeds of Which the Opposition, Heiit by Factional .Jealousies, Ban Failed to Take Advantage. London, Aug- 7--Thc Liberal party "Has come upon evil days,towing to Its lack of leadership, and this fact Is recognized by all the members of the party. A review of the work done during the session of Par liament, which closed yesterday, shows that the parry is completely d!"organized, and that its opposition to the government has pract'cally amounted to nothing. The lack or a vigorous opposition -was not due to any particular favor by the Salisbury government, for as a matter of fact the government has lost much of the support which landed It in office two years ago with an enormous majority. Tlieregrettab'-econdltionoftheLIteralPis due almost alone to the factional jealousies In the upper oouncUofthe party. Theorgans of the Liberals in their summing up today of the -work of the session aw very out- epoken. The Ciiroaicle, which publishes a lengthy article on the subject, fairly repre sents the feelings of the rauk and file of the party. Jt points out that Parliament Is impotent m the absence of -vigorous public opinion, which -has been markedly absent of late. The session, it declares, has been a rmml one for ministerial blunder and misdeeds, and yet the Liberals hai e been unable to take advantage of the con dition of affairs owing to their lack of competent leaders. The article concludes thus: -The joint dictatorship of Lord Salisbury and Mr. Chamberlain will apparently go on undisturbed by Parliament until they are unwise enough to quarrel. Neither the privileges and traditions of Parliament, nor the good name of England and her record as the enemy of oppression and the friend of freedom signify anj thing just now, nor will they signify until public opinion, -winch is latent hut not dead, can find expression again and gather itself once more into that resistless force berore which the strongest dictatorships godown.' VISITS TO THK CZAR. Kew-spaper. Discnss Their Political Significance. London, Aug. 7--The visits of Emperor William and President Faure to the Czar have called forth solemn newspaper ar ticles magnifying the importance of tlie events There Is, however, no .popular Interest In the visits A majority of the German newspapers say they believe that the result will be the establishment of cor dial relations between the Hreibundand the dual alliance, but this is scarcely possible so long as France persists in her determina tion to wir back Alsace-Lorraine- The French papers entertain no Idea of entering upor. friendly relations -with Germans, but they do display 3 signifi cant tendency to oppose the ascendency that Russia has over France One paper declares that If, as a result of the visits. Russia consents to put her agreement -with France into writing, It will be only for the purpose of maintaining German peace and giving Germany a guarantee that she will continue to enjoy undisturbed posses sion or A'sace-Lorraine. It adds that France sacrifices her ititcrests In tlie East to Russia, and invites her to help her eelf to the" French savings and then the papers ask if glorification of President Faurc Is adequate compensation for this A LOVING EMBRACE.

Arrival of Three Well-Known Pa triot in New York. New York, Aug. 7. Jose S. DeMedina, a Cuban lawyer; Juan A. De la Pas, a student, and RIcardo Landa, a landed proprietor, were among the passengers who arrived here yesterday from Gibraltar by the steamer Ems. After a long banishment in the Spanish penal colony at Ceuta, on the northern coast of Africa, these, men were allowed to fix their residence In Spain but succeeded in making their es cape to Gibraltar, where they boarded the Ems. Honor De Medina said today: "We have endured much suffering while in Ceuta, particularly during the first months of our exile, as Gen. Correa, then governor of the colony, seemed to take p'ensure in aggravating our situation. He made it a rule that Cubans of prominence aud culture should have as chums men who were not their equals in society. Dr. La Ruza, the eminent teacher of penal law In the University of Havana, was made to Ehare his bed with an abject, con temptible negro, the very worst among the Nannigos, or members of the Illicit society known In Havana as 'el Nannl-guismo-' "Fortunately Gen Correa was superseded by Gen. Leon, a man whose conception of patriotism did not prevent him from being humane He is greatly influenced by his wife, who is a native of Matanzas, and so the Cubans in Ceuta are not at present ill treated Dr. Alfredo Zayas, brother of Gen. Bruno Zayas, has been allowed to start a grocery store in company with Arturo Lamas. Dr. La Ruza has an Imita tion of a drug store, and other exiles are permitted to pursue their careers and trades."

This morn ing thoie (s no sign of the alleged Cuban filibuster which was reported to he in this vicinity waiting to take on a cargo of arms and ammunition. All last night Collector or Customs Goddard and his deputies were cruising around the harbor in a tug looking for the vessel reported as coming this way. The lcport sent to this city was that arms had Deen sent to this city from New Toik, whleh were to be loaded on a schooner here and towed outin the sound, there to be transferred to a steamer en route to Cuba. United States Marshal Morris, of New London is here this morning. He has been at work on the case, but reports no informa tion gained. His opinion is that the le ported shipment to this city was only made to direct attention from some other point Last night there was a rumor about the city to the effect that after all the Government might have been eluded by the filibustering rarty, from the fact that a strange crsft had entered the port early yesterday morning and hastily shipped a cargo and decamped. The name of the mysterlou vesssel is said to be the Living stone. Then was secrecy about tlie movements of the crew. The vessel arrived just in tinm to receive the contents of a large covered wagon. The latter consisted of a number of boxes, carefully covered. It is now believed that this vesssel was connected with the filibustering expedi tion, and that the authorities at Washing ton were late in securing information ap pertaining to it.

As she struck the water she rolled violently rrom side to side, and the plucky fellows on her superstructure who had volunteered to go with bur on her rirst plunge clung to tlie flag masts, which bore the Stars and Stripes and Navy -'jack.' Several.Iadles screamed In fright, but after a second or two that seemed an hour, the bigbteeiridb slowly righted and rested, with atout a third or her side above the water. On a platform erected bald2 the port bow of the boat stood Miss Ernes:lne Wardwell and her rather. Col. Wardwell. In her right hand the young lady held a bottleof champagne, gayly decorated with ribbons of the national and Maryland coIok. The moment the vessel moved she spattered the bottle against tne bow and sa'd: "I christen taee Plunger.' Then everything ashore and afloat in the vicinity that possessed a steam whi&tle blew it in salute to the strange new '.-raft. The tug Mohawk was In waiting In mid stream and was soon alongside the Plunger and towod her back to the works. W. O. Beckinbaugh then mounted the platform and sang the verses of a song he had specially composed for the occasion. The first was to tne Plunger, the second to Mr WilliitnMalster.preJdxaSof theColumblan Iron Works, and the third to John P. Holland, the boat's Inventor. H was lustily applauded upon the conclus on, and sang '"The star Spangled Banner."
