Cuba Waiting For Cleveland.

NEW YORK, April San infor-
NAL meeting Of Cuban leaders was
held at the Hotel America last
night. The possibilities OF Cuban
belligerency being actually recog-
nized in the near future by Presi-
dent Cleveland was discussed. All
seemed to be satisfied OF the dis.
position of congress to pass joint
resolution which would secure &C.
ton on the part of the president.
Mr.. Cleveland said Mr.. Portuon-
do is the great political conun-
drum of the time. We can only
pursue our unequal struggle on
the island and continue to hope.
We have done that from the be-
ginning and have much in the
shape of results to encourage us.
The plan of sending commission
to investigate the island from the
United States attributed to Mr..
Cleveland would prove failure.
Such a commission, even IL tolerat-
ed by Spain, could accomplish
nothing of value simply because
Spanish officials when under the
eye Of commission from foreign
country would naturally be on
their best possible behavior. The
same might of course be said OF
our own armies, yet we have al
ways welcomed correspondents in
the field and courted investigation.
Gomez's conduct Of the campaign
has been from the first, and will
continue to be, humane one and
one Of truth.
Mr.. Dearmas regretted that
friends connected with the Ameri-
can press should waste breath &C.
casionally in speaking Of autonomy
as a condition Of peace which
Spain should grant to Cuba. "The
day of autonomy to Cuba" said
Mr.. Dearmas, "has irrevocably
passed"
Mr.. Joaquin Castillo is speaking
Of the impression which seemed to
prevail in official circles that the
rainy season now beginning in
Cuba would be season Of inactiv-
ity said: at is true that the
rainy season was one ofinsctivity
last year, but the world will see
that the coming season will he far
from an inactive one."

Germany FaYOrs Princeton.

WASHINGTON, April S.-The
parliamentary movement in Ger
many towards bi-metalism is
described in report to the state de-
,partment, by United States Com
mercial agent Moore, at Weimar.
He says on March 18th the econo-
mic committee Of the imperial
reichstag decided to bring in the
following resolution:
"The reichstag shall declare
that international bi-metalism best
answers the interests OF Germany,
and requests the confederate
governments Of the southern states
to do all in their power to establish
and secure by international con-
vention, fixed proportion Of value
between silver and gold"
1t Is known, says Mr.. Moore, that
a corresponding proposition will
be submitted simultaneously in
Paris and London. This move.
ment has creaeed attention afresh
in Europe in the monetary situa-
tiOn.

British Press Comment.

LONDON, April S.-The Globe
commenting upon the Cuban
belligerency vote in the United
States house OF representatives
says:
"The chief danger OF the situs-
ton is that Spanish pride will
never surrender SPANS most
valuable colony until beaten. And
should there be a repetition of the
popular demonstrations against
the United States, American pas
sion might flame up in an ugly
manner and compel President
Cleveland to demand satisfaction.
This would almost inevitably re-
suit in war, and while the United
States would OF course crush Spain,
American trade, already very deli
cate, would be very largely
wrecked"
In conclusion the Globe express
ses the opinion that il is improb-
able that President Cleveland will
seriously consider the concurrent
resolutions.
The st. James Gazette says: "1f
congress voted with the Intention
Of being offensive to Spain, this,
presumably, is the new American
democracy and must candidly con-
fess we do not admire 1t. When 1t
is tried against a sensitive people
already in difficulties, 1t Is emf
nently calculated to provoke an
explosion. The Spanisrds may
not understand 1t Is part Of q
presidential campaign"

THE EGYPTIAN ADVANCE.
Disaster Feared Y the Expedition Pushes
On Into the Interior.

On lnIO Tie lnUerlOr'
New YORK, April S.-A special
to the Herald from Cairo says: 1t
cannot be denied that there exists
in Cairo a strong apprehension that
disaster will soon overtake the
head Of the Dongols expedition.
Merchants here who have business
relations with the Soudanese, re-
port that they have information
OF great rising and rallying Of
Dervishes in and around Dongola.
They confirm the report that the
green flag is up and that the holy
war is declared. Their prediction
is that $4,000 men will soon be
ready to intercept the march Of the
Anglo Egyptian army il the plan
Of pushing beyond Akashesh is
persisted in. General Kitchener Is
known to be yearning for fresh
military glory. Aggressive and
self-willed, 1t is feared he will fall
into the error recently committed
by General Barateiri in Abyssinia.
He is carefully fortiiying as he ad-
vances, and in the event Of an ord
mary reverse he may be able to
hold out until English succor ar
rives.
An American, just down from
Wady Halfa says he met several
thousand Egyptian recruits and
railway laborers going forward,
hundreds of whom were moaning
and sobbing like bereaved children.
No dependence can be placed on
these men.
The preliminary skirmishing so
far has given some confidence to
the Egyptian troops. The policy
of the Soundauese is evidently to
draw the invading army as far
from it's base Of supplies this sum-
mer as possible, so that when an
attack is decided upon a retreat
from it will mean slaughter. Well
informed people here are OF the
opinion that the fate OF Hicks
Pasha awaits the Sirdar's coming.
The Dervishes are better armed
and better prepared to fight than
when they checked Lord Woles-
ley's advance. The English, as a
rule, pooh-pooh the idea Of defeat,
but they are all extremely anxious.
1t is feared that the trouble in
Matabelaland may embarrass the
English government and weaken
the support of the Dongola expe-
dition. The Dervishes are very
active in the rear Of the Egyptian
column and great difficulty is ex-
perienced In keeping up tele-
graphic communication.

Italian Losses Heavy.

MAssowA, April Slater ad-
vices from the front show that the
losses OF the Italians in the fight
ing, which followed an attack
made upon the italian native bat
TALON at Mount Mocran, April 2,
were much more severe than at
first reported. 1t was at first stat
ed that the Italians loss was 100
killed and wounded. Now, how
ever. it is stated that the loss of
the Italians was ten officers and
200 men. 1t is presumed this
means the number killed, as no
reference is made to the number
wounded.

Pilgrimage to Mecca Suspended and the
Khalifa Preparing to Prosecute
Active Resistance.

CAIRO, Egypt, April S.-(Copy.
righted 1896. by Associated Press
Each additional budget of news
from the front increases the anxiety
here in official circles as to the fate
OF the van guard Of the Anglo
Egyptian forces operating on the
Nile, as a preliminary to the ad-
vance in force upon Dongola, for
which troops are being raised rap
idly and concentrated at Wady
Halfa.
News of the movement south
ward of troops has spread with
that wonderful rapidity which
has been frequently noticed
as one of the features of
campaigning in the Soudan. While
the British intelligence depart
ment experiences the greatest diff
Guilty in obtaining information re-
garding the movements OF the
Dervishes, the latter apparently
have spies in all quarters who sue
coed in transmitting important
news with lightning-like rapidity
from one part Of the country to
others.
Thus in some mysterious man.
ner the news OF theAnglo-Egyptian
advance has been communicated to
the most distant quarters Of the
Mohammedan country and the
departure of pilgrims for Mecca
has been suspended, which means
that the khalifa is calling upon his
warriors to muster to the standard
and that the holy war, which he
recently proclaimed against Egypt,
is to be pushed with all the des-
perate energy Of the Dervish lead
ers.
The khalifa has decreed that the
tribes shall Immediately collect
and forward to Omdurman a heavy
war tax; that picket Of warriors
should be hurried to that camp
and that all preparations be made
for long campaign.
He expects to muster an army
of so, 200 men composed Of the best
fighting men of the Soudan, at
Omdurman by September, when the
Anglo-Egyptian advance will be
met by the khalifa in person. The
latter has recalled the Dervish
armies from Fashoda and Darfur,
and it is believed the siege Of Kas-
sala will shortly be raised in order
that the Dervishes now before that
place may be utilized at Khartoum
and Dongola.
The khalifa, writing to the sheik
of Assouan, under date Of Decem-
Der last, said he was always ready
to submit to the authority of the
khedive of Egypt as the represen-
tative of the sultan, but he would
"resist to the death any expedition
coming from Egypt so long as the
British occupy the country" The
khalifa concluded: 81 am aware
that the British desire to have me
assassinated, but 1 have taken pre-
cautions that none Of the European
prisoners shall survive my muir
der.n

AGITATION IN SPAIN.
The Country Divided as to Politics.
America Bitterly Denounced,

America Bitterly Denounced
NEW YORK, April S.-A dispatch
to the Herald from Madrid says !:
All the papers holly condemn the
American congress for the belli-
gerency resolutions, which they
persist in considering an act of
hostility and insult to the Spanish
people, which must be met by
active and vigorous preparations
for resisting all kinds of inter-
ference.
1t is expected that the govern
ment will calmnly await the action
of, advices from President Cleve-
land, but will in the meantime
push the operations in Cuba and
the preparations in Spain to keep
in touch with public opinion,
whilst firmly checking all ex-
aggerations and demonstrations
that might create international
complications.
Spanish diplomacy has led the
government to believe that Mr..
Cleveland will try to gain time
until the rainy season begins in
Cuba to see if the military situa-
ton is modified, meanwhile in
structing the American minister
at Madrid to negotiate direct with
Canovas in a friendly way with a
view of making some compromise
that could satisfy the autonomist
aspirations Of the majority of the
Cubans and the interests of Spain
through American mediation.
The Spanish newspapers, espe-
cially the republican and the dis
renting conservative, express
mournful regrets that the various
Spanish governments have not
understood the expediency of call
ing into force at the very begin
ming of the present insurrection
the home rule bill and the tariff
reforms voted by parliament last
year, and which they will now
have to carry out awkwardly under
!. Nessure of circumstances and
foleign meditation. The govern
ment does not expect any fresh
demonstrations against Ameri-
cans, despite the agitation by the
press. Great precautions are
being taken in Madrid and in the
provinces to quell any distur-
Dances and protect American rep
resentatives. 1t is evident, how
ever, that much suppressed ex-
element and irritation is preva-
lent among all classes.
The significant attitude of the
ministerial press eXcites ironical
and very angry protests and COM
ments. Papers of the largest cir
culation and opposition journals
like impartial, PiaZ Globo, Ell
Liberal, Correo and others, go so
far as to threaten the government
with serious consequences in do
nestle politics in Spain, if Cano-
vas should consent to mediation
on the part of President Cleveland
and purchase the neutrality of the
United States by commercial con-
cesSions.
