Tire Prussian navy has become formida-

increased. One of the conditions imposed

Cuba in the hands of Prussia would

France waS the only check to Prussian
aggression. Overrun by e million of
trained men, she no longer presents a
barrier to the ambition of kings as during
the Republican wars, when under De-
mouriez, Moreau, Pichegru and Jourdan,
she hurled back time and again the
forces of despotism invading France for
the one avowed purpose of re establishing
the fallen monarchy and crushing out
Republicanism. The last news now is
that Bismarck's plan is to be comsumma-
ted, and German prince '.colonized"
upon the Spanish throne.
PRIM AND BISMARCK
Arranged the former plan, to thwart
which, in the interests of civilization aud
national safety, France has we'll nigh
sacrificed herself. Their scheme now is
to place upon the Spanish throne son
of the King of Saxony; while Prussia,
by means of her pfodigious but concealed
preparations for war during may years, is
now able to defy any interference from
any other Power. Turkey removed from
the pathway, will soon leave British
India open to Russia, toward which she
has been
REACHING ACROSS ASIA
For century. With that conquest,
British commercial supremacy will be
checked, and Prussia will tiud no obsta-
Gle to her schemes of territorial and
maritime aggrandizement. 1t will be
remembered that King William, under
the dictation of Bismarck, replying to
the remonstances OF France, agreed that
he would withdraw Leopold not as ''the
King of Prussia but as the ''hcad of
the House Of Hohenzollcrn.' Prussia
would thus remain virtually uncommitted:
and be at liberty to pursue her
