spain's Position Toward Cuba and the
United States Outlined.
New YORK, March THE World
prints IN authentic statement of the
policy Of Spain as to Cuba from Prime
Minister Canovas. It states: .-.
Nothing will be omitted on or. side to show
our desire to preserve cordial relations with
America. l am convinced that we possess SUI
fcient means to quell any hostile demonstra-
tions The government Of Spain regrets and
has made all the amends possible for the man
Hesitation already made Of the indignation
which the speeches at Washington naturally
excited among the ever loyal people OF Spain.
The situation now Is one Of extreme delicacy.
Indeed, l cannot define how far 1t is possible
for the government of Spain to permit amicable
and careful mediation of foreign power how
ever honorable and disinterested 1t may be,
without mourning the grave risk of being &C
cused OF submitting to outside interference,
pressure and dictation in the midst Of o
civil war. The United States is great
power, and until 1t recognizes the
object and encourages the aims
OF the insurrectionists In Cuba, it is
friendly to Spain. After the recognition Of
the bellgerents in Cuba by the United States,
1t would be impossible for the government of
Spain to accept the good offices OF President
Cleveland, or to permit any Intervention what
ever. Nevertheless, hope some means will
be found by the president to avoid alternating
the friendly relations with the United States
which Spain has shown this week that she
prizes highly. am fully alive to the signifi-
canoe and the possible consequences Of the

A Chicago Brewer Robbed Of valuables
While saiuting His Acquaintance.
CHICAGO, March 7.-One of the most
remarkable holdups that has ever oc-
Cured in this city took place at seven
o'clock last night on Ashland boule-
ward, the most aristocratic street on
the West side. The victim was James
w. Sheridan, wealthy brewer, and
he was relieved of a gold watch, about
$500 in cash and pin valued at
5000 The robbery was committed by
three men, one of whom held a re-
volver against Sheridan's abdomen
while another pressed a gun against
his side. The third man did the col
lecting. While the robbery was going
on several of Sheridan's friends passed
by and said: ''Good evening, Mr.. Sher-
idan." The victim, persuaded by the
revolvers which we're held against his
body, returned the salutation in a
cheerful tone, and his friends, think
ing he was talking with the three
men, went on their way and left Sher-
idan to be robbed.
