1t has been learned that the repre- enta-
tiyes of the Spanish Government i'll this
country have discovered what is said TO
be new plan on the part of the sym
pathizers with the Cuban insurgents TO
ship ammunition from the United States
TO their cOmpatriots in Cuba. The Span
ish Government representatives heard
CT the scheme some time ago and en-
pioyed detective agency to investigate

ments of toys to Havana. These toys
consist mostly of large and unusually

Prussia has just published the result of
the recent census. The entire population
June II, 1895, was 81 .491 .209. an increase
of ,o30, 92S. or > 1900 per cent. since
December, 1890. The males increased
lI3,051 and the females 162.S11. In Der
lin the increase of females was two and
one-half times that of men. One of the
surprises of the new census was the
small increase of Berln's population. all
the more startling owing TO the unpre-
cedented increase of Berlin for the years
between 1870 and 1890 1t was only
36,2SS, or > 2-1O per cent. for the last
four and half years The census shows
a continuance of the movement towards
cities from the country. in which Berlin
had not its usual share
w. r. Stead had a long article Tues
day afternoon in the Westminster Ga.
zette on "Monroesm." during the course
of which he says: "Englishmen would
do well not to belittle the significance of
the ebullition of American sentiment on
the question of the Venezuelan frontier.
1t must be taken with the usual discount
and is no doubt due to the system by

bawling Journalists rather than by suave
diplomats; but it is serious nevertheless.
Its gravity consists in two facts, neither
of which have anything to do with the
merits of the question in dispute. In the
first place. for the first time since the civil
war. the Americans have lilt Il navy of
which they have some reason to be proud
and which sooner or later they will use
against somebody. In the second place.
it is equally significant that the American
press assures the United States that the
Monroe doctrine has been informally
adopted as national faith by the Ameri-
can people and the dispatch sent to the
New York World referring to the report
ed Bayard-Salisbury interview probably
has basis of truth
The dispatch from Shanghai announc-
Russian warships from Nladivostock for
Chemlupo and Fusan. Corea and the dis
patch from Hong Kong, announcing that
Russia has obtained the right to anchor
her fleet at Port Arthur and construct
railroads on the Liao-Tung Peninsula.
have caused intense excitement in official
circles in London as We'll as i'll those hay-
ing commercial relations with the far
East. These most important statements
are looked upon generally as being sud
den reOpening i'll an unexpected quarter
Of the far Eastern question in its widest
sense. The Shanghai dispatch added that
the Japanese fleet in FormOsa waters had
been recalled, that several British war
ships had been ordered to Corea and that
preparations for IL struggle were visible ON
all sides. The Hong Kong cable message
caused the London Times to remark. ed
itorially: Russia can not possibly i'm
agine that the great powers will view with
Indifference such Il destruction of the
balance of power. which is almost unpar-
alleled in its audacity." 1t is admitted
here that the situation presented is SO
grave that should the news prove true, it
would make war in which several nations
will take part more than probable. 1t
should be added that there is every reason
to believe that the story from Hong kong
is authentic and all sources of infoIma-
ton agree that the powers interested in
the far East will find themselves con-
fronted by q condition of seriousness
which can not be overestimated.
