SPAIN is SAD.
Cubans Have Too Many Sym
pathizers in America.
Officials Keeping Close Watch Upon
Movements iAsouthern States.

WASHINGTON, juno 7.-Mr. De LONE,
the Spanish minister to the United States,
has called the attention Of the state de-
partment TO allegations that flibustcrin9
expeditions against Spanish authority In
Cuba are being fitted out on the bayous
of the lower Mississippi river. The com
munication also stated that armed citizens
of some OF the southern states often pa
raded with arms with view TO joining
some Of these outgoing expeditions, or at
least TO give active encouragement TO the
Cuban insurrCctionists.
Some of the statements made covered
facts Of which the United States govern
ment can take no official notice and Others
were too meager for present official action.
1t is believed at the state dopartmont that
there is little truth In the reports which
reach here from the south of the fitting
out of warlike expeditions against Cuba,
but should it be shown that expeditions
are being organized which come within
the prohibitions of international law and
our treaties with Spain, there will be no
delay In bringing the parties concerned %
justice.
Spanish Oniciais Alert.
It IL learned that tho Spanish officials
here arc keeping close watch on several
supposed expeditionary movements TO-
the purpose of furnishing information on
which 70 request action by the United
States government. One of these expedi
tions Is believed to have started from
philadelphia, tho suspected ships, 1t is
said at the Spanish legation, being the
George Childs and the Bridgeport. 1t Is
alleged that these ships touched at Green
wich. after clearing from Philadelphia,
with the ostensible purpose OF making re-
pairs, but really, 1t is charged, to take on
arms, guppowdcr and large supplies OF
food suitable for an expeditionary move.
ment.
The Spanish officials connect the move
ments of these shipments with suspicious
operations at Dauphin and Cat islands,
off the mouth of the Mississippi. There
are indications, they say, that the move
mcnts at Gulf points and those starting
from Philadelphia concentrated OF the
coast Of southern Florida.

MEDITERRANEAN'S KEY.

Military Canal.

France Proposes to Break IL by Great
Military Canal.
BoRDEAux, June 7.-President Faure
rcccAed q deputation representing the In
terests involved in tho projected canal to
connect the Atlantic and the Mediterra-
mean, and assured the delegates that tho
government was greatly interested In the
project and fully recognized the linpor-
tance Of its being carried out.
With a splendid navy, France Is still
handicapped on the sea by having no way
for her ships TO pass from her Atlantic
ports 20 her Mediterranean ports. Eng.
land controls the straits of Gibraltar. III
Franco had a water course from Bordeaux
10 Narbonne, the strategic value OF the
fortress on Gibraltar would be infinitely
less.
NJ. Kerviller, an eminent French engi.
neer, has made estimates OF a ship canal
between Bordeaux and Narbonne-that Is
TO say, from the Atlantic, across the neck,
north OF the Pyrenees, to the Mediter-
ranean coast. 1t would be 800 miles in
length from sea TO sea, and from li4 feeo
to 2l5 feet broad, with depth of from -
feet TO 33 feet, so as TO admit the passage
of the largest ironclads.
There are to be sidings OF three-quarters
OF a mile long at intervals Of every eight
miles, while there arc 90 be % locks, each
$50 feet long by 80 feet broad, with fall
of from 90 feet TO 80 feet. The ships using
the canal are to be towed or drawn along
by fixed engines. NJ Kerviller estiSXates
that a canal Of this kind would cost tll5,-
100000, including the interest on the
capital lying dormant while the canal was
being made, while the receipts, at the rate
of as cents q ton, would be, less the cost OF
working and repairs, $l2, 900, 900, represent
ing an interest Of per cent upon the
capital invested
