NEW YORK, April q The Her
aids special says the London papers
OF to day comment very freely on the
present state Of affairs In Cuba.
The Telegraph, ministerial organ
of moderate tone, says that IN regard
10 the independence of Cuba, England
is unbiased, but at the same time ad
mits that Eagland's interest can be
best subserved by Spain retaining her
authority 10 the island. The article
does not say, however. that IL any
case ii should be the business OF Eng
land to interfere and prevent Cuban
independence. but it maintains that
the good offices of England might
prove useful to avert a quarrel be-
tween Spain and America. 1t desig-
mates the seizure of the ship Mary
Lowell as a mad act, duplicating EGG
land, Spain's best friend, unless the
lattor country offers reparation for the
insult.
that the Cubans can never willingly
attach themselves to the United
States.
The London OaDz Of this evening
also has its say on Cuban matters.
It argues that President Giant has
| been made the subject OF Cuba, and
thinks that England and France
would DECLARE war if America at
! tempts to wrest the Island from Spain.
| Grant, says the Oaoi, longs for a
foreign war, knowing as he does that
the feeling at present prevailing
among American oflicials, is one of
intense hatred to England, though iu
less degree to France 1t Is stated
that in a day or two u yacht will be
dispatched from here to Cuba on a
mission from the Government to
ascertain the exact position Of affairs
there. 1t is the belief that heavy
storm is brewing which may yet occa-
sion much trouble.
