A Belief That He Intends to Seize

Become Practically a Dictator, and

WASHINGTON Oct 5.-Mr. Foster our minister
to Spain, returns to Washington without having
made commercial treaty with Spain He was
sent over by Secretary Bayard expressly for that
purpose, although he is a Republican. He ac-
knowledged, however, that he has done nothing,
but says the Spaniards are ready to enter into
such an arrangement as soon as this government
makes the proper 0yertures. What more they
want than a minister sent for that purpose Mr.
Foster does not say. 1t is the talk at the State
Department that he was recalled by Mr.. Bayard,
who has come to the conclusion that in the pres
ent state of affairs it is not good policy for us to
be bound in too close trade relations with Cuba.
Mr.. Foster acknowledged that the Spanish gov
ernment is unable to provide for the Cuban debt,
and he thinks the powers that hold the bonds
Germany being the chief, are likely to try to
step in and take possession of Cuba and run its
finances just as they have done in Egypt. In that
event Bismarck would be practically the dictator
of Cuba The other powers, having countenanc-
ed the same procedure in Turkey, would be hope
ess to interfere.
For weeks the leading officials at the State De-
partment have made no secret of their belief in
private conversation that the Car0nes affair was
begun by Bismarck, III the hopes of precptating
with Spain, which would justify him in
seizing Cuba and that the idea is only delayed
and not abandoned. Emperor William interfcred
then, lut he cannot live long, and the German
Crown Prince is pronounced in favor of German
colonial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Mr.. Foster will report
that matters are coming to Il crisis in Spain. and
that need one of our best men at that court to
look after our interest in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Bond Syndicate Case.

PITTsBURG, Pa Oct. 5.-The Pennsylvania
supreme court rendered decision to-day in the
case of the city of Pittsburg VS.. Henry Wheeler of
Philadeiphia and Wilson McCandless of Pittsburg
This is what is known as the ''bond syndicate
case" the parties having made contract with
tile CITY to purchase S6,00O,0oO worth of street
bonds at par with one per cent commission. The
case has been pending two years and the city has
already sold to the syndicate 81 100000 worth of
the bonds. The citizens committee contested
the matter in the court and obtained an injunction
restraining the city officials from handing over
any more bonds or receiving money for the same
and the court to-day dismissed the appeal and
made the injunctions granted by the lower courts
perpetual The decision is based ON the ground
that the city officials had no authority to make
such a contract and claims that the decisions in
the case have no effect on the bonds already sold
