aGThe dispatch in q New York
paper stating that an alliance against
the United States was being formed be-
tween England, France and Spain, is
not believed in diplomatic circles in
Washington. 1t is not usual to COM
muuicate such matters to foreign repre-
sentatives, and the tenor of the dispatch
is considered highly improbable. Sec
rotary Fish says England has as much
cause to complain of Spain as we have,
and President Grant has not decided
upon any foreign policy that can be
obnoxious to any of the great Powers.
But, in case the alliance were formed,
Ireland would take care of England,
Bismarck of France, Russia would set
tie up the Eastern question without OPP
position, general war would ensue in
Europe, and Spain would lose Cuba in
just three days.
