MUST NOT INTERFERE
Madrid Newspapers Say the United
States is Exceeding Its
PRIVILEGES.

New York, April pa dispatch to the
Herald from Madrid says that Senior
Morel, the greatest Spanish authority on
international law, and the leader of the
Democratic Liberal party, has written
long article over his own signature which
appears in the Globe under the heading
IAN International Review" After re-
viewing the Cuban question in all its
bearings. Senior Morel concludes thus:
Up to now our government has done
nothing to fulfill its duty. 1t has not
applied the last law in spite of the fact
that what the insurgents most feared
was the application of reforms. So much
is this the case that, seeing them so near,
they precipitated the uprising.
Nothing has been done to prevent the
poverty and starvation which now
threatens Cuba. No steps have been
taken to increase the number of our
surgents. Everything is still to be done
and what is worse we are left in doubt
as to how and when it will be DONE
Instead of waiting in fear of the
question to be put to us from Washing
ton. we ought to decide beforehand
what answer will be given to that and
all other governments"
AS showing the interest in the matter
in Spain, all the newspapers have leading
articles on Senior Morel's views, That
of the impartial is one which gives the
best expression to the present public SEN
timent. It says:
''Senor Morel begins by stating that it
is inevitable that the United States
should take an interest in all Cuban af-
fairs, but the fact that the island of
Cuba is more or less tempting to the
United States does not justify it's inter-
vention."
"Senor Morel abandons evidently
through strategic error the position
which we must take and hold if we are
to win the first battle on the tie field OF in
has no right to interfere in the affairs
of Cuba, which are those of Spain alone.
We cannot permit under any crcum-
stances that foreigners should interfere
in matters rela ting to the Cuban matter"

Lincoln in the Five Points.

Not long before Lincoln was first
nominated for the Presidency he went
to New York to make political speech
at the Cooper Union. While there, ac-
cording to writer in the Philadelphia
Press, he wandered about the city q
good deal, and once went to the Five
Points, then the most notorious Of New
York slums.
There he was attracted by the sound
of music, and perceiving upon door
an invitation to strangers to enter, he
went in, and found himself in the Five
Points Mission.
His manner betrayed so much inter
est in the children, especially in their
singing, that the superintendent, though
he did not know him, invited him to
speak.
Mr.. Lincoln accepted the Invitation,
and as the superintendent used to say,
talked to the children just as loving
and wise father might have talked to
his own sons and daughters, without
a trace of pedantry or cant. After the
exercises the superintendent asked the
stranger for his name.
"My name is Lincoln" was the an
swer. ST live in Illinois,
And then the superintendent knew
that the speaker must be the man
whose address at the Cooper Union had
been so much talked about for the last
few days.

GEN. WEYLER'S PLANS.
Is Conducting His Campaign on
Geometrical Lines-Very
Hopeful.

New York, April pa dispatch to
the World from Havana says that Gen.
Weyler is stalking all on the present mill
tary movements. He is opposing the.
guerrilla warfare by an almost geome-
trio plan. In an interview the general
said: ..Maceo will never cross the tro-
cha except as a prisoner. The day he at
tacks the trocha he will fall or be capt
ured. 1t is utterly impossible for him to
come eastward. | have strong force
on the whole line and also have large
part of the troops between Maceo's posi-
ton in the northern mountains and the
trocha."
but Maceo is on the east side of the
barrier. Suppose the two brothers should
attack the line from the different sides at
different points on the same day.:
"Ah,'' replied Gen, Weyler, Il have
Jose Maceo's men divided into small
bands, and they cannot unite for such
maneuver."
''Why do you not attempt to force
Maceo to decisive battle now!
''Maceo will not stand and fight the
general answered. 81 have several indie
pendent columns which keep him moving
about in the hills
But can you not surround him! lie
is apparently confined to small dis
trict?''
"Well," explained Gen. Weyler, that
would simply mean chasing Maceo
through the whole province. l do not
propose to have my main force drawn
forward from the trocha. | want the
insurgents to attack the line"
''When do you look for an attempt to
force your line!
Never" said Gen. Weyler. 'Mly
opinion is that Maceo knows he is in a
trap. at last and he will abandon his
troops and escape from Cuba by water.
"You say the war will be brought to
an end soon. How do you expect it to
end?"
LAS soon as the insurgents see their
cause is lost" Gen. Weyler responded,
''the smah bands will begin to come in
and give up their arms
do you intend to proclaim general
amnesty?"
'Yes, but not now. There must be
more fighting. The enemy must be Sc
verely punished in the field and their
power completely broken. Then l will
offer amnesty, not before

Chicago, ILL.,, April 23.-Thomas Cody,
the best known character in Chicago,
and for twenty years the Beau Brum-
mel of the town, was buried yesterday
in Oakwoods cemetery. If he had died
twenty years ago when in the heyday
of his popularity there would not have
been enough carriages in town to take
those who would have gone to the fu-
neral. But of late years Cody had
dropped out of public view Not more
than dozen persons attended the funeral
yesterday, which was held from Filleo's
saloon, One Hundred and Nineteenth and

SvengaIi is Hypnotized.

New York, April 23.-Santanelli hyp-
Noticed Svengali last night. That is,
he succeeded in putting Wilton Lackaye
under the mysterious influence. Mr..
Lackaye has had widespread success as
villain in "Trilby,' and when it was
proposed that he should make a personal
test of Santanelli's hypnotic gifts he
laughingly agreed. The suggestion was
made at supper party in the restaurant
of the Marlborough hotel. When asked
what his sensations had been he said he
had felt an oppression across his chest,
followed by greater and greater in
clination to sleep. He did not believe
he had been at any time utterly UNI
conscious but he was nearly so.

ONLY PARTIAL REFORM.
Spain Tries to Turn the Cuban Question
Into One of Commerce.

Into One of Commerce.
Madrid April 23.-According to the
current story, the Spanish government is
to grant home rule to Cuba very soon on
in the bills which have so far passed, the
Cortes, and that this concession is to be
SUPPLEMENTED by tariff reforms and a
treaty of reciprocity to develop trade be-
tween the United States and the Spanish
West Indies.
Marked hesitation, however, is again
visible in official circles, and the minis
terial press seems to have instructions to
say that the utmost that can be done is
to carry out in part the administrative
and economical reforms in Cuba and
Porto Rico, but not the political reforms
the insurgents submit Internationally.
Much Importance is attached to an in
spired article in Ell Dia, Conservative
paper, saying Premier Canovas entirely
dissents from the opinion of Senior Moret,
holding that the United States has no
right to interfere in Cuba, and that if it
tries to exert pressure in favor of Cuban
autonomy all Spaniards will resist. The
same paper says Premier Canovas is far
from contemplating West Indian home
rule, and that he has not even deter
mined how far or when he will put into
effect the bill passed last year, which
falls much short of autonomy, which the
Spaniards never would tolerate.
Singularly enough, today's Madrid pa
pers publish minute details concerning an
important autonomist and separates agi-
tation fast spreading among the natives
of the Philippine islands in the East.
Free Masons and foreigners are accused
of encouraging this movement, whose
prominent promoters demand representa-
ton in the Cortes, legislative assimilation
with the mother country, and the expul-
sion of the religious orders, because
friars and Jesuits more than the Spanish
authorities rule those colonies.

Attorney Battle said she knew of it and
helped the two servants, Dunlop and
Turner, to conceal the jewelry, part of
