MINISTER TAYLOR WORRIED.
NEW YORK, March 2S.-A special
cable dispatch to the Herald" from
Madrid says: Minister Taylor is rather
worried over the action of the United
States Congress in regard to Cuba.
There is a noteworthy revival of the
anti-American spirit in Spain.
The decision of the Government not
to send Spanish squadron to Cuba has
been the subject of much adverse crit
icism in official and other circles. No
one appears to put any faith in the
Ministerial explanation that the decis-
ion has been arrived at in the interests
of economy, and those best informed
state openly that the explanation is to
be looked for elsewhere.

MODJESKA'S GRANDSON.
Two Attempts Made TO Kfdnap thu
Eight Y Year-Old Boy.


CHICAGO, March 2S.-Twice within
the past two weeks a young man at
present unknown but whom the police
expect to arrest soon, has made an at
tempt to kidnap the eight-year-old son
of Ralph Modjeska, son of the actress,
in the vicinity of the family home in
Wrightwood avenue. At the first at
tempt the nursemaid, who was in
charge of the boy taking him for a
walk, was badly burned with acid
thrown by the would-be kidnaper.
The suspected motive of the plotters
has not been made public, owing to the
illness of Nine. Modjeska, who, ac-
companied by her husband, left for her
California home this week. The police
are secretive about the case.
The second attempt made to abduct
the child occurred last Monday after
noon, and each time the kidnapers
seized and ran with the child until
compelled by the plucky screaming
maid at his heels to let go and escape.
There is to be an imposing christening
of a month-old baby in the Modjeska
home tomorrow, Nine. Galva, the
prima donna, acting as godmother and
Jean de Resske as an attendant.
