Startling Rumor That the Two
Countries Have Formed
an Alliance.
Hope to Thus Check the In
tention to Enforce Mon
roe Doctrine.
England to Be Repaid by Con-
cesSions in the Med
iterranean.

NEW IOhh, April IA ulSpdtCH 70
The World from London says: The
positive statement came to your corre-
spondent from a leading financier Of the
city (the money making part of Lon
don) that England has concluded a
treaty Of alliance with Spain. His final
message was, Within 10 days Europe
will be startled by the official an
nouncement of this fact"
Continuing, The World correspond
ent says: 81 give this statement with
the reserve which its international i'm
portance warrants, pointing out only
that the sensitive money interests of
the city are often better informed on
such matters than is any any other
part of the community, except the
highest official authority, and that my
informant is now, and for many years
has been, associated with leading finan-
cial enterprises.
''Such treaty would have vastly
important bearing upon the continent
tai situation 1t would have COM
mensurately important bearing upon
the Cuban question in the United
States.
Opposed to Americas Position.

statement in the New York news
papers that the Washington govern.
ment has received semi-official inti-
nation from the British ministry that
Great Britain would approve of the
recognition by the United States Of
Cuban belligerency.
His reply was that exactly the con-
trary is the case, that in the first place
the Salisbury ministry is disposed to do
anything it can with safety and in
reason to check the pretensions of the
American government to interfere in
either West Indian or South American
affairs-particularly in the West Indies,
where Great Britain herself has most
important interests-and that, Sec
ondly, Spain by this treaty has made
important concessions to England in
return for the latter's more or less
active support of Spain in her conflict
with the Cuban rebels
How England Is Repaid.
II can furnish no further details of
this alleged treaty than that, according
to my informant, it will include giving
to Great Britain the right to harbor
and refit her fleets in the Mediter-
ranean ports of Spain. The harbor Of
Cartagena is one of the finest on the
Mediterranean and would shelter the
entire British navy.
''The importance of an Anglo Span
ish alliance to Great Britain is obvious.
Neither Gibralter nor Malta-Eng-
lands only two ports on the Mediter-
ranean-is capable of either harboring
or refitting feet, but with both the
Italian and Spanish ports thrown open
to the British navy, the French fleet at
Toulon would be at England's mercy,
and Russia could hardly make juno
ton from the Black sea with the ships
of her French ally.
''Such are the apparent reasons why
Great Britain should wish to make
such an alliance as above indicated"

A TEMPERANCE LECTURE.

Commenting upon recent meeting
OF the National Temperance Congress
in London, our New York namesake, the
Evening Post, makes some extraordi-
narily pertinent observations. Sir
Benjamin Ward Richardson, an emf
nent physician. delivered an address
before the convention, in which he de-
clared that no thorough reform in the
drinking habits of the people would
ever be effected until every intelligent
mau and woman became law of total
abstinence unto themselves. Legisla-
ton could do little or no good. The
praises OF alcoho', which have been
sung for thousand years in all forms
of literature, could not be counteracted
in day. DR.. Richardson concluded
by saving that the influence of such
alcoholic stories as "Pickwick" were
enormous.
Apropos of this, the Post says:
No such thoroughly effective Sunday
closing can come from any legislation
as from the unwillingness OF individ-
uals to go to the public house, and the
success of cafes and temperance ga
looms must depend largely on the
growth of public which likes them
and finds in itself other sources of en-
tertainment and excitement than alco-
holic drinks. As general rule the
class which has fewest sources Of
amusement or nervous recreation ia
the one most disposed to drink. This
is one of the most familiar facts of
daily life, aud it is full Of suggestion
for legislators and reformers. To the
ignorant laboring man alcohol supplies
20 nething which other people get In
O ner ways and will not 60 without.
Asking him to give it up is something
like asking the well-to-do not to go to
the theater, opera or concerts, not to
read novels, not to go to dinners or
evening parties, not to travel, and to
sit at home on Sunday reading relig-
ious books. That is, it lifts him for
the moment into another world, where
things seem brighter and more beauti.
full than the sordid one he lives in, and
opens up possibilities to him of which
in his natural state he never dreams.
Truer words than these were never
spoken. The difficulty with all the
methods Of TEN perance reform of
which we have any Knowledge is that
they are designed to deprive the poor
man of about the only kidd OF exhtl-
aration within his reach. The difficult
ty of obtaining this means Of enjoy
ment is another great incentive to in
duiging in it. High license and re-
strictive legislation only make those
who resort to drink for recreation prize
alcohol more highly. 1t is notorious
that in wine-masing regions drunken
ness is uncommon. Unless alcohol is
expensive and hard to get, many OF it's
slaves would abandon it with contempt.
Temperance reform, in order to be ef-
fective, must change its eyste It
must, in fact, reform itself.-San Fran
cisco Post. ..

not much to recommend it. II is prob
