AFFAIRS STILL COMPLICATED.

up for the rights CT British subjects.
The Spauiards are much worried over
tho situation in Cuba, and seemed de-
termined to hurt somebody. The now
ministry Is very slow in replying to
Secretary Gresham's note, and as it is
said to be more belligerent than it's pre-
decessor, there may yet be considerable
friction between the Spanish and
American governments before the mat

it is hardly probable that anything

This feeling will mako diplomacy of
the most delicate kind necessary on the

dent Cleveland is now on deck of tho
ship OF State at Washington, and not
on that of the tender Violet, the inter-
esss and honor of this country will be
safe in his hands. England with q
grievance of her own, will not be super
critical in her examination OF the dis.
pute between the United States and
Spain, unless. indeed, the Monroe doc
trine as applied to Venezuela, should
overshadow the lesser issue. and com
pei her to join hands with Spain, in
which case the latter might not spolo-'
gizs for the Alliance affront, and Great
Britain might be disposed to dispute the
claim OF the American government to

often fight for sentiment, it is hoped
all the clouds that now gather around
this country, will DO dispelled and peace
and comfort once more reign through

Our Relation to Nicaragua.

The question is asked: What hos the
United States to do witk England's de-
mand upon Nicaragua for S75. 900 indem-
nifty In the Hatch case? From one point
OF view the answer may be "noshing."
The quantity and quality Of Englaud's

save as cause OF wonder and disgust.
But it is no. difficult to SEQ how the
matter nigh. become one of aolici.ude
with us. II, for example, Nicaragua
should avow either unwiIlingness or in
ability TO meet the demand, and if Eng
land should then proceed to enforce i.
by levying on tho small republics goods,
tho United States would essuredly be
confronted with an urgen5 and imperi--
tive dilemma. We should tben have to
choose between active Intervention on

Any movement ~ England ii tho "a
ture Of seizure would raise the issue a,

States 20 interfere or to btc omo Access

Il appears, therefore, that although
we may have no right TO criticis e thu

disposition, either-Nicar reiec

to show that II England were permitted

a FEW more such experiences as that
received by the robbers who attempted
to hold up an express on tho Cincinnati
Southern railroad yesterday morning,
near Greenwood, KY, will do more to
break up the business than all the jails
and penttentiaries IN the country.
Train robbing has been largely on the
increase in this country in the past five
years, and while the attempts we're not
always successful the comparative
absence OF danger in such undertake
ings has thrown halo OF romance
around the business that made it par.
ticularly attractive to wild and CON.
scienceless young men. 1t is true that
in Virginia and one or two other States
these bold adventures speedily came to
grief after making successful haul;
but the patient pursuit of rireless
officers and prison bars do not have the
paralyzing effect on train robbers that
loaded weapons in the hands of men
with the ability and tho nerve to use
them have. Once let these rogues know
that In every attempt OF this kind
there is not only danger, but death, an d
1t will rot be very long before train rob.
bling will become thing OF the past.

publishes the following as a special
from its Washington correspondent:
The Evening News tonight prints the
following interview with George 0.
Cannon:
Hon, George Q, Cannon, for many
years the delegate in congress from
Utah territory, is guest at the Shore
ham. Mr.. Cannon only made fying
trip to see the president on important
business. Speaking to the News re-
porter about the political situation in
Utah he said:
i think our constitutional conven-
ton, which is now in session, will com
plete its business, and adjourn in six
weeks, and then we will have some red
hot politics.
Asked which party would elect the
two United States senators when the
territory Is admitted to statehood. Mr..
Cannon replied:
have every reason to believe the
democrats will elect the first state leg
islatuTe and send two men of our party
to the senate. Utah is a rock ribbed
territory, though occasionally, as was
the case last fall, the enemy slips in
and beats u.s.
"Mr. Cannon's second son, a bright
young fellow, is the new delegate in
congress from Utah. He is the only
republican in the Cannon family. The
elder Cannon was one of the twelve
Mormon apostles. He is a polished old
gentleman, and is reckoned as one of
the very brainiest men in the west. If
he has political asplrations-and no
one seems to know that he has-he
could easily secure seat in the senate
if the democrats elect the first state

reached the Shoreham, he was in
