TURN.
The Indian Princes mot Enthusiastic
Enough.
NEW YORK, Nov. ia London special
says the opinion there is very general that the
| return of the Prince of Wales has been deter
mined upon, and it is stated that the Cabinet
have telegraphed HIM advising him to return
home. Although it is said the cholera will be
given as the reason for his return, the real rea-
son is the unsatisfactory attitude of the native
princes. Not a single reception was proffered
by any one of those in the Madras and Bengal
presidencies. All the entertainments thus far
have been given by the English, and there is
no concealing the fact that the native princes
view the visit unfavorably.
The Herzegovinian Stu alton.
LONDON, Nov, 19.-The Times says the Sui
| tan cannot save herzegovina. 1t is as fairly
| out of his grasp as if destiny settled it by a
conference between the powers. Peace can
only be brought about by the extinction of
| Turkish authority, but if the disturbed prov
inces were once in the safe keeping of Austria,
the powers might take lesurely survey of the
situation, and provide for the necessities of the
future.
Recently there have been reiterations of
peaceful assurances by Russian newspapers,
but there are, however, indications of early in
terventIon in Turkish affairs

lin. says that negotiations are now progressing

Miret is negotiating with the authorities of
Puycerda, with view of bringing about a

British Comments ON Don Carlos Letter.
New YORK, Nov 10. A London special
gives the comments of the British press on the
Don Carlos letter.
The Daily News says it shows the weakness
OF Spanish character. Don Cnrlos owes his
long respite from punishment to the Cuban
gar, and makes the supposed difficulty bet weon
SPAN and America an occasion for exciting the
pride of bis couDtrymen.
The Telegraph says it is impossible to imag-
inc more fraudulent and futile proposal. at
once an affront and an act of folly.
The Pail Mall Gazette says the letter is full
OF bombast. 1t reads almost like hoax. 1t
appears to indicate that the Pretender desires
to find an excuse to retire from the war con-
fiict in Spain.
The Carist committee in London has no
funds Don Carlos letter is regarded by his
friends here as utter folly.
The Havana Press ON its Dignity.
An Havana letter of the 18th says the press
condemns the course of the United States in
Spanish-Cuban affairs, and holds that indem-
MITIGATION for Americans shot is an absurd de-
mand. If Americans in Cuba do not like the
laws there, they can go away, as they are not
needed. TIE mem oers of the Casino Espanol
are very indignant at SPANS sending high
salarIed officer 10 arrange the financial affairs
of Cuba. They demand that Valmaseda shall
take the field in person.
