anticipated.

Berlin, March 17.-Eugene Richter's
Freisinnige Zeitung gives moving pic
ture Of the misery suffered by the coun-
ell of state under the emperor's chair
manship. Richter says the members
have got to the point where they pray
that the emperor will stay away and
thus leave them free to say what they
think. His majesty has list Of the
speakers in his hand and dictates the
order in which they may take the floor.
AS nobody dare go out when bored
all are obliged to remain fixed for hours
in their chairs and listen to the most
dolorous discussion of trifles. The most
trivial speeches must be cheered AS
the emperor has forbidden Interruptions
and cries of dissent, there is only
a dreary waste Of ready made applause
for those taking part in the debates.

SEC. GRESHAM HAS NO NEWS
NOTHING YET BECEITED FROM THE
MINISTER At MADRLD.

The Spanish Minister Declined to be Seen
No Question as to the Soundness of Sec
retaI,y Gresham's Position in the AL
lianca Affair.
Washington, March 17-Secretary
Gresham was seen tonight at his hotel
and stated that he had no news to
give out respecting the Allianca affair
Assistant Secretary Uhl said that, so
far as he knew, nothing had been re-
ceived from Minister Taylor at Madrid
Senior Muruagua, the Spanish minis
ter, declined to be seen and in reply to
a note asking if anything had been
received from his government sent
word that he had nothing for publ
cation.
Speaking Of the Allianca incident and
Secretary Gresham's dispatch on the
subject to our minister to Madrid, one
of the best informed authorities on in
ternational law in Washington said to-
day:
Assuming the facts to be as stated
there can be no question as to the
SOu1luDeSS OF secretary 6IGSlAcllll pOoA-
tion under the principles of interna-
tional law as now recognized and prac-
ticed No nation of late years has
had warrant for stopping vessel flying
friendly flag on the high seas, nor
has the right been recognized for d
war vessel under any circumstances
to fire a solid shot at the flag of a
merchant and set flying any flag ex-
cept that of the war vessel attempting
to intercept her.
The assumption that there is the
slightest obligation on the part of the
Alliance to show that she was more
than one league from shore when fired
upon is entirely unwarranted. If she
had been within half mile of the Gu
ban coast the alleged action of the
Spanish man-of-war would have been
just as unjustifiable as if she had been
fifty miles at sea. The absolute right
of any merchant vessel to travel any
channel in time of peace, whether with
in three miles of shore or not, is sustain
ed by universally accepted international
law. AS Spain is in the wrong she
will admit it."
what if she does not2" was asked.
rWhy, then all the United States au-
thorities need to do would be to relax
their vigilence at Tampa and other
y rts, and the Cuban question would
soon settle itself"
New York, March 1.-THE Recorder
will tomorrow publish the following
dispatch from Washington:
Spain has replied to Gresham's de-
mand. A dispatch was received tonight
that so far as it goes is entirely satis-
factory to the United States. 1t is a
response to the last part of Secretary
Gresham's dispatch and it is under
stood that it conveyed that orders had
been issued to the commanders of the
Spanish men-of-war in Cuban waters
not to interfere with legitimate Ameri
can commerce and to use every precau-
tion to avoid international complica-
tion by an exercise Of undue zeal.
"That part of the dispatch which re-
fers to the firing upon the Alliance
is reserved for future reply, after an
investigation by Spain into the circum-
stances that surrounded 1t.
'There is no doubt in the minds Of the
president and secretary of state that
this will receive prompt disavowal as
an unauthorized act and that "a due
expression Of regret Of the part of
SPAIN will be forthcoming"
