WASHINGTON, April &c. = The
following telegram was sent to gov
eminent officials at Chicago today:
Washington, April 26.-Continue
case set for May 6. OLNEY.
1t is stated here that the continuance
has no significance. The attorney gen
eral wired the district attorney at
Chicago to continue the case until the
July term Of the court. 1t is expected
that by that time Judge Grosscup,
who is i'll, will have recovered his
health sufficiently to hear the case.
Judge Grosscup heard the previous
cases, and granted the injunction
against Debs. He is perfectly famil-
lar with all the questions involved,
and for this reason it is preferred to
continue the suits until they can be
heard before him.
A telegram from Chicago says that
in labor circles the news was taken as
confirming the rumored collapse of
the case against Debs.

DESPERATE IN CUBA.
Loyal Islanders Demand Reforms

in Tariff.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-Consul
General Williams, at Havana, Cuba,
under date of April II, sends to the
department of state the translation Of
d telegram sent by a committee of the
representative sugar manufacturers,
distfllers and merchants of Matanzas
to the resident Spanish ministry at
Madrid, petitioning for the removal of
the tariff obstacles to the entrance of
Cuban products into the ports of the
mother country. He also enclosed
reply received from the ministry say
ing to the committee that the peti-
tons can be granted only through
legislative action and that it was i'm
possible to say when the Spanish de-
partment will be able to deliberate on
them. The petition asks free entrance
for sugars and rum and free entrance
and protection for molasses and

Economic situation of the island
desperate. Such a terrible economic
crisis never before felt. Governments
of the other countries protect their
sugar industry the same as that of
Spain protects it's home industry, and,
as Spaniards, we ask protection for
Cuba. Our producers clamor for pref
erential consideration. The situation
asked is indispensable to save the
island from imminent ruin" The dis
patch is signed by eight men as repre-
sentatives of the assembly.

JAPS WILL NOT LET GO.
Now What VIII Russia Do to En-
force Demands.

LONDON, April 26.-Direct and
positive information from official
sources is at hand concerning the ex-
act negotiations between Russia,
France and Germany on one hand
and Japan on the other. The Rus
sian, French and German ministers
separately interviewed the Japanese
vice minister for foreign affairs under
instructions from their respective gov
ernments and presented memoran-
dums in which it was stated that the
governments of Russia, France and
Germany upon examining the terms
of peace imposed by Japan upon
China have found that the possession
of the peninsula of Liza Tong, claimed
by Japan, would be a constant menace
to the capital of China and at the
same time would threaten the indie
pendence of Corea and render it nom
effective in fact. In this sense and
for other reasons, it would be, it was
stated, a constant menace to the per-
manent peace of the far East. Con-
sequently the governments Of France,
show their sincere friendship for the
government of Japan, advises it to
renounce the absolute and final pos
session of the peninsula of Liza Tong.
The memoranda of the three govern
ments make it plain that they were
presented in the way of friendly adj
vice to the Japanese government,
inf
convey any open or
COVERT MENACE.
The impression is gaining ground
that Japan can rely upon the friend
ly counsel of the United States at
the present moment. The govern
ments of Great Britain and Italy
have made it plain that they do
not intend to follow the example of
Russia, France and Germany, and
the great commercial interests of the
United States i'm the far East, which
the Japanese-Chinese treaty of peace
would largely benefit, no less than
the constant attitude of the United
States toward Japan lead diplomates
to believe that the United States at
this juncture will not fail to make
such use of its good offices as will
prevent Japan from being deprived
of the fruits of her victory.
The treaty of peace has already
been sanctioned by the emperor of
Japan, and it would be extremely
difficult to make any change. The
only effect of the attitude of Rus
STA, France and Germanyrmust be to
encourage the party in China which
Us opposed to any moderate and rea-
sonable settlement, and thus to pro-
long the war Indefinitely.
1t may be stated in the most pos
dtiVe terms that the reports thus far
circulated regarding Japan's reply
to the powers are not correct. The
reply had not been sent as late as the
evening Of the Goth, and from init
nations received from the highest
and most reliable sources here it
may be stated that the reply, While
moderate and conciliatory in tone,
will not contain any recession from
what Japan regards as rightfully her
due.
