AFRAID OF ASSASSINATION

LONDON COMMENTS ON CUBA
Tory Papers Make GrotesQue OBJ
servations On Senate Action.
Similar to n Demand for the indie
pendence OF Ireland If Rebellion
Should Break Out There.

London, Feb. 29.-The Tory papers, for
instance the Globe, publishes grotcsque
comments on the Cuban resolution adopted
by the American Senate.
The direction given 10 President Clevc-
land to use his offices to secure autonomy
for Cuba is compared with the United
States demanding the independence Of
ireland in the event OF a rebellion there.
1t adds that if Spain elects to go TO war
rather than to sacrifice her honor inter
national sympathy viii be on her side.
The st. James Gazette says that for
country that fought n stupendOus war 10
put down q rebellion this resolution goes
far indeed. It is not the Monroe doctrine
telling Europe to keep her hands off, but
means that the United States intends to
put her hands on.
The Westminster Gazette Liberal) sounds
a balanced note. 1t says ii relies on
President Clcveand's discretion. The
United States, 1t adds, has genuine in
terests in Cuba and cannot refuse to
recognize the rebels rs belligerents if the
situation in the island does not grow
better.
Yesterdays Madrid papers contain some
curious official statistics regarding the
war in Cuba. According TO these there
were sent TO the island up to March, 1896,
$4,000 men. Thirteen thousand OF these
were sent at the time Of the outbreak of
the rebellion. The cost Of the war thus
far is placed at $50,000,000.
For the second year the cost is estimated
at $4,000 600. Each soldier In Cuba
costs the government $500 annually. Dur
| ing the first year 406 soldiers were killed
! and 3, 472 died from yellow fever.
The Havana correspondent OF the Pail
Mall Gazette says that Capt. Gen. Weyler
will no more suppress the rebellion than
did Gen. Martinez Campos. The United
States, he adds, should, on the score of
humanity and her general political and
| financial interests, insist on autonomy for
| the CubanS.

Berlin, Feb. 29.-The emperor made .
special visit to the ChancelIerie today TO
consult with Prince HohenlOhe upon the
subject of the speech recently delivered
at Leeds by the Right Hon. George J.
Goschen, first lord Of the British Ad
miralty, In which he made illusions 20
the kaiser, which were calculated 70 ex-
aSperate his majesty.
According to the semi official news
papers and semi-officiaI opinion otherwise
expressed, Mr.. Gosehen purposely went out
OF his way to make unjust insinUatiOns
against the emperor, and it is stated upon
the most reliable authority that the kaiser
has strong hopes that sound sense VIII
soon prevail in England and that the peo-
pie and statesmen of that country VII
not allow themselves to be landed into an
untenable position.
FEELING NOT FRIENDLY.
Nothing can be learned from an official
source as to the foundation for the report
that more friendly feeling between Ger
many and England has been brought about
and the truth of the suggestions is generally
doubted. Indeed, nobody who keeps him

the idea any CreGenCe.

GREAT CONCERN AT MADRID.
Press Utterances Resent Our Senate's
Action and Hint at War.

Madrid, Feb. 29.-The Impartial regards
the international situation, in view OF the
action OF the Senate of the United states
in regard to Cuba, as very grave, and eX-
presses the opinion that the recognition of
the belligerent rights Of Cuba involves great
danger.
The paper also thinks that Prime Minister
Carovas del Castillo is over patient in the
face of Yankee pride. ~
Spain says the impartial, 'must pre-
pare for any emergency. She is not great
in naval strength, but still the United States
is not a colossal naval powerF'
The paper continues in This vein, saying
that while Spain has been Inundated,
America has not been appeased, and fancies
she can act with the Spanish government
as she could with the Turkish. More con-
sideration would have been gained for
Spain had she assumed a determined atti-
tude, for, says the Impartial:
I'VE are not so weak as TO render our
hostility a matter of indifference 80
trading people having no warlike quail
tiles. 1t must also be taken into account
that Spain is not isolated in Europe"

Culated TO infuriate the German newspapers
H said that a curious succession Ofevents
seemed TO convince the foreign powers that
Great Britain was asleep and unable TO
assert herself. A great German statesman,
not Prince Bismarck, seemed 10 have formed
a depreciating estimate OF this country.
Hehad been deceived, and he Mr.. Goschen)
hoped he was now convinced that Great
Britain would not shrink from using the
greatest physical forcetomaintain herrightS.
Everybody believes that Mr. Goschen had
reference 10 Emperor William, and nOU
Chancellor Won Hohenlohe.
Extracting Mr.. Goschcn's proliXity, he
declared that Great Britain would not con
tract an alliance with any power orgrOUpof
powers. She preferred ISOLATION, relying
on her navy, with which She was ready TO
face anything.
Mr.. Goschen's speech was preliminary to
his producing the navy estimates.

London. Feb. 29.-Certain favored con-

The government. through Sir Hercules

British high commissioner in South Africa,
declined to deal with Milne. as il was eX-
pected that it would DO. as nothing was
then known in England OF the Transyaal

cries has been laid before Parliament. 1t
says that the total expenditure for the

Of Unrestricted fishing on the American
side has brought about a most deplorable

to carry out the fishery laws have met
with the approval OF intelligent minds in
the United states. But the enforcement

fishermen; it involves quite as impera-
