patch TO The Daily News says: "There Is
rumor that Secretary Olney has sent
private cabegram to Lord Salisbury as
suring him that the passage Of tho COM
mission bill was not to be construed as a
hostile act . The News says editorially
On tbis "There is nothing incredible or
surprising In such an announcements On
the contrary, It would be highly honor
able to Mr. Olney."

spondent has reason to believe that Lord
Salisbury is negotiating with France and
Holland, as owners of American colonies
to join In protest against President
Cleveland's action, which has already
beon condemned by Spain. Wo should be
inclined TO doubt the wisdom OF any Eu-
ropean alliance to meet the demands
which have not boon supported by cool
and sober opinion In America"

paper says that Spain has already notified
the British government Of its opposition
to President Cleveland and that 1t is be-
lieved thnt tho four oountries-Great
Britain, France Spain and Holland-will
