NEW YORK, Dec. 2S-The Evening Sun
publishes long and somewhat sensational
statement in regard to possible difficulties
between this country and Portugal The
substance of it is that Mrs. McMurdo, of
Buffalo, widow of the late Col McMurdo, an
American citizen who organized an English
syndicate and built the Delagoa Bay rail
road in African territory claimed by Portu-
gal, recently waited upon Secretary Blaine,
accompanied by a western New York con-
gresham friend and counsel and sub
United to the secretary convincing proofs
that the property rights of Col McMurdo
were being disregarded by Portugal The
secretary invited explanations from the Por-
tuguese government, but received no salts
factory response, whereupon he sent the
squadron of evolution to Lisbon instead of to
Havre, as first intended, and notified Lord
Salisbury that the United States is ready to
cooperate with Great Britain in forcing
Portugal to respect the rights of foreigners
in the territory referred TO- Lord Salisbury
at the same time ordered four British men,

Doesn't Expect HostiIities.
The Sun further says: THE Portu-
guese government will not misappre-
bend the hidden meaning in the appear
ance of the English and American ironclads
in the harbor of Lisbon at this time, and
while Mr.. Blaine has no doubt but that the
complications will he satisfactorily adjusted,
| and without the outbreak of hostilities,
yet he believes it better, in view of the pecu-
| liar and unexplained trifing # Portugal with
the United States thus far, that we should
make a show of our capacity to enforce de

Mrs McMurdo and the other heirs of her
husband are entirely satisfied with the posi-
ton taken by Mr.. Blaine, and are convinced
that he will bring the whole power of the
| United States government 10 bear TO protect
| the interest of the American citizens in
Africa in case it should prove necessary at
may appear strange" continues The Sun,
that Blaine has thought necessary TO com
municate so promptly with Salisbury, and
before any decisive attempt to come to a sat

| But the secretary of state took this step be-
cause the interests OF McMurdo and his heirs
are at present almost inseparably associated
