/ the professors pacified them The stu

| Iona displayed a similar agitation,
which was everywhere suppressed. Ar

Unfortunately the republicans every
| where are trying TO make capital out of
the popular agitation. which has in
creased on the news Of the release of
! the Bermuda filibusterers. The press
is changing its attitude Of Cancellation
and the liberal papers advocate an I'M
derstanding with the European powers
to protect their common colonial inter-
ests against the United States.
The authorities continue TO take ex-
traordinary precautions around the
American legation.
The governors Of several of the pro-
vinces, replying to orders 10 suppress
demonstrations, have teiegrap pied 10

element among all classes, it is mad
Visable TO stop them
The fall on the Bourse was especially
heavy in Bank of Spain shares and Gu
ban bonds
The Standard also has a dispatch
from Paris which says: 1T is the gen.
eral belief here that the resolutions OF
the senate will lead to no practical re-
suit, save that Of increasing the appre-
citation of the wise provision OF United
States constitution which makes the
president and not congress the arbi-
traitor Of peace or war The view OF
the European chancellories is that the
United States government has no more
right to interfere between the Spanish
authorities and the insurgents than
they would have 10 interfere in the
suppression of an instruction in ia
maica by England, or of rising in the
Cayenne and Martinique by France"
The relations between the United
States and Spain over the Cuban ques-
ton continue to occupy a large share
of attention, and the newspapers Of all
classes comment upon the situation.
The editorial of the Times on the sub
ject says:
Some people might pronounce Mr..
Hits resolution more offensive and
bellicose than the senate. but the point
is Of little consequence, considering the
largeness Of the nlajorities and the rap
idity with which the resolution was
adopted, almost amour ting TO precip-
itaEcy. Our correspondent ascribes
this haste to the Barcelona disturban-
with promptitude worthy of a Cham
berlain (referring to Colonial Secretary
attitude on the question
Of the Jamison raid into the Transvaal)
president Cleveland has now TO de-
eide whether IL is safe TO disregard the
concurrent resolution. We may eus-
pect the Cuban agitation OF being TO
some extent Fictitious, because OF the
large financial interests involved, and
the president, daring TO disregard the
present clanor, might a little later re-
ceive the country's thanks.
ON the other hand, America is mani
Testing a tendency TO activity in for
eign affairs wholly alien to the polit-
cal traditions. President Cleveland
Will carefully weigh both sides and re-
hect on what he supposes to be the
opinion of the majority of electors
Spain has undoubte noted that the
sudden outburst Of American zeal coin
cides with the SpaniardS' zeal success
IS against the rebels and il may infer
that il is the best policy to redouble the
energy so largely shown and confront
is opponents with accomplished facts
e seems highly improbable that the
spanish ministry would dare to suggest
FIELDING TO a foreign dictation. Should
President Cleveland decide upon more |
,remptory action, there is every rea-
ION TO anticipate war which may !
'rove much more troublesome than the !
politicians suspect.
Spain may have little chance Of in |
iicting a decisive defeat upon the |
United States, but it is doubtful wheth- |
II they can inffict decisive defeat on |
Spain without an expenditure far /
greater and more prolongued than en-
cred into the calculations Of the sym
'athizers with the rebels. There are
ther continental nations whose SYM
'athies, at all events, would be entirely /
n the side of Spain in such a struggle
Proximus Arduf etc, is a caution new
r lost sight of in the conduct of ma
ional policy"
