THAT TRINIDAD DISPUTE.
England Said 10 Eave Declared She
WIN Not R,.Iipauisu Her CIniI,i


VIII Not RcIinqnish Her Claim.
An international complication. W which
may be OF greater importance to Great
Britain than her dhpuue with Venezuela.
IL is said here, is likely 10 follow the
declaration that Her MaJes tys govern
ment " III not Ielinqui,h possession OF the
Aland of Trinidad.
Great Britain is reported to have arrived
at derision that she will adhere to her
claim. No further Information regarding
the matter can he learned here. The Bra
lillian minister. Senor Mendonca, politely.
bat firmly declined last night to discuss
il. He said he had no information with
reference 10 Great Britain's action. and
refused to disclss its effect, either III its
relation TO Brazil or TO this country.
There is, however, prescmptive proof
that the report is true. and if this be so
Great Britain's action Will create greater
excitement In Brazil than has existed there
for years.
There is the strongest documentary eyi-
dence that Brazil's claim to Trinidad is
unassailable. It was discovered by the
Portuguese as far back as 1870 and later,
when Portugal acknowledged the indie
pendence of Brazil, IT fell into the posses
sion of the latter country.
England has several times since prac-
ticaIiy acilno wledged Portegals control
of the Island. and her seizure OF the terri
tory at this late day, VIII, it is believed,
arouse the deepest indig NJ ton OF the Bra
zilians.
Should any difficulty now arise between
the two countries, it is not thought that
the United States will become involved
Brazil, 1t is believed, is competent TO man
age her own affairs without the assistance
of this country.

QUESADA SPEAKS.

Through the columns of The Times Senior
Gonzales de Qoesada, the head center Of the
Cuban revolutionary party in the United
States, thanks the people of Washington
for the interest they have shown in thecause
of the struggling republic. Senor Quesada
through the same medium also enlightens
the public as to the strength of the insur-
gent forces, leaving it to calculation and
inference what output of men and money
Spain must make in the attempt TO sub-
!ugate the island.
Senor Quesada docs not adduce facts
and figures furnished by himself or ether
leaders of the revoiutionists On the con-
trary, he gives those found in the columns
of one Of the leading newspapers of Spain
That paper shows that the insurgents have
forty thousand men in the field. 1t will be
seen that if bclligerent rights are granted
Cuba by the United States, as they soon wiz
be, and the insurgents can buy ships and
arms and ammunition. Spai nwiii have need
of more than the sixty thousand men that
are 10 be sent to Capt Gen. Campos in order
to put that rebellion down Asa matter of
to the last man, on the one side and of
anniililation on the other, and even the
possibility of such a contingency the people
of this country viii refuse to contemplate.
The same Spanish paper from which
Senor Quesada quotes, gives an mixing
of the financial burdens imposed upon
Cubans by the home government, and they
are burdens, by the way, from which Cuba
derives not a Particle of benefit, either di-
rectiy or Indirectly. Cuba has to pay an
nuaIly So, 220 900 for the luxury of
having royal family and court several
thousand miles away, and it has even to
contribute 500 900 to the funds required
70 make war uponitself. All the while Spain
is piifng up an enormous war debt of which
Cuba, in case the insurrection fails, win
have to bear her share, and thus she faces
a prospect in the event OF defeat, of being
crushed under a lead which all her resources

Is enough to rouse every libert y-loving
American to the active support of the
gallant islanders, and Neutrality-suspicious. will
