The London Times Thinks Bryan's Elec-
ton il Probable.

ton IL Probable.
LONDON. oct. 29.-The Times. in an
article on the presidential campaign in
the United States. says:
IF Senator Jones, Mr.. Daniel J. Cam
pau, respectively chairman OF the Demo
cratic National Committee and the Ma
tional Campaign Committee, and other
Democratic masnates are correct in their
figures. IL is conclusive that Mr.. Bryan
viii be elected. Mr.. Campau estimates
that 292 Bryan electoral votes will be
cast by thirty-three States, including In
diana. Michigan. Illinois, Iowa, and
Minnesota. all of which the Republicans
think are safe. If, therefore. the State OF
New York persists in the belief that
Mckinley Will be elected it is not for
the want Of warning If the East is
blind it is wilfully blind. A shrewd OBJ
server in Chicago thinks mat the preva-
lent Bryan demonstrations mean Bryan
votes"
Mr.. Moreton Frewen, the English
economist and bimetallist. who is now
in America writes TO the Times that he
has seen and heard all Of the Leading men
on both sides, and finds that throughout
Illinois. Indiana. and Michigan. the Re
publican farmers are working heart and
soul for Bryan. Mr.. Frewcn writes that
he Is convinced that Bryan will also carry
all Of the Southern States, with the pos
sibIe exceptions OF Maryland and Della
ware. and all Of the far Western States
except Oregon and Wyoming.

Oar ConsuI-General az HAVANA.

The official line OF conduct followed by
General Fitzhuch Lee since his arrival
at Havana mas been marked by luds-
ment and moral courage. He Is watch
ful. jealous, discreet and resolute. His
duties are exceedingly perpleXing at
times. but ne has successfully performed
them. Between his own government and
the administration Of the Captain-Gen-
eral Of Cuba he has frequently been
placed in a trying situation. but he has
always got out OF it with honor.
when he arrived IN Havana four
months ago, he was received with sus-
plcion at the palace. and was made the
subject of hostile remarks In the press
that spoke for the palace. He was repre-
scented as bellcOsc American. who
would seek 10 rritate Spain. who was in
sympathy with the insurgents, who had
secret instructions that were unfriendly
TO Spanish authority and who would not
Scrupl. to perform acts prove cative Of
war between Spain and the United
States. One OF the semi-ofiicial organs
at Hayana printed remarks about him
that he might easily have regarded As in
sulting to his office. and that seemed
20 be designed 10 incte violence AGAINST
him. II looked at one time as though
he would be deprived OF some OF the
piNil'Sc9 mat brlpHS 10 MS consulate,
such as the privilege Of inquiring into
the treatment of Americans In prison,
Of that Of defending Americans against
whom charges might be brought. or that
of gaining desirable information. 1t is
probable that these things annoyed Gem
cral Lee. but he waited his time. In a
spirit OF forbearancc. He was a soldier:
he had seen actual service, he had gained
some useful experience IN public life.
and he was Vireinian OF dignifed man
