SITUATION AT HAVANA.

gress on the belligerehcy question have
become plain. the feeling against Amer
leans here has greatly Increased. the
seizure of the Bermuda allayed the
feeling for IL few days but 1t is now
more intense than ever. The Span
iards blame the United States for all
the present troubles. The local press Is
bitter. The fact that the insurgents
discriminate i'm favor of property of
Americans adds to the hostile senti-
ment Already there is talk by extreme
Spaniards of making II demonstration
against the United States. The volun-
teers are most rabid. The captain gem
eral assured the consul general some
weeks ago that the regulars would be
held i'm readiness to protect Americans
against the Spanish volunteers. should
the emergency arise The absence of
an American warship Is greatly de-
plored. The moral effec. alone would
be great Only those knowing the eX-
plosive character of the Latin race can
appreciate the situation. Through pri
vate dispatches only, the fact leaked
out that the senate has acted. AS the
situation is realized, the feeling grows.
1t is impossible to predict the result.
Americans are fleeing from all parts
Of the island to Havana.

FEELING AGAINST ENGLAND
Must Soon Fight for Her Position as
an Empire.
THE ATTITUDE OF GERMANY
Bears No Ill-Will but Is willing to Let
England Demonstrate Her Suprem-
ucy-Lack of Enterprise on
Part of German Press.

Berlin, March 1.-The heat in the
highest political atmosphere against
England Is becoming intensified In an
interview upon the subject with a rep
resentative of the United Press yester-
day prominent German diplomat de-
lined the situation briefly as follows:
England" he said lis rapidly ap-
preaching state in which she must
fight for her position as an empire
Germany has no ill-feeling toward
Great Britain and has no wish to see
her dismembered. but the other nations
now seeing her weak points everywhere
on the globe thinks the time has come
to square up England's old accounts
German won't initiate the fight nor has
she any desire to make an anti-English
alliance. ON the contrary she will
stand aloof and let England demon
strate that she Is still entitled to the
supremacy she claims. There may be
tall words" he said. but they echo the
exact opinions of the emperor and the
leading statesmen of Germany. who
have arrived at the conclusion that
England must soon prove that she pos
sesses her supposed vitality as a great
power"
LACK OF ENTERPRISE
The lack of enterprise characterizing
the German press is shown by the fact
that not a single newspaper has yet
commented seriously upon the action of
the United States In regard to Cuba.
Instead of discussing this, the most
important and interesting topic of the
day, the papers have devoted their
space To the publication of attacks uNon
F.nsland's mono-metailic policy. 1t Is
currently. reported that the emperor in
an interview with the chancellor,
Prince Hohenlohe, expressed desire to
send a communication in regard to the
American Senate's action 10 the Queen
Regent of Spain, but was dissuaded by
the chancellor from doing so. No
clearly defined opinion can be obtained
as to how the official press will be di-
rected to treat the matter, but the be-
lief Is almost general in government
circles that strong pro-Spanish bias

Madrid. March lin an interview
yesterday Prime Minister Canovas del
Castillo said he doubted that President
Cleveland approves Il recognition of the
cuban insurgents as belligerents, but II
he should be compelled to endorse the
action of congress it would not provoke
an international coonfiict nor inter-
rupt the friendly relations existing be-
tween Spain and the United States.
A declaration of belligerercy, the prime
minister added, had moral, not mate
rial, Importance. Spain was not buy
ing war material in the United States
On the other hand. the recognition of
the Cuban rebels as belligerents would
bind the United States to greater
neutrality.
The Madrid papers in commenting
on the granting of proposed belligerent
rights to the Cubans says that the rec =
ognition of the Cuban rebels by the
American government Is an event of
graver import to Spain than any which
has occurred for years. The papers
add that the remarkable majority in
favor of the resolution shows that the
senate Is utterly hostile to Spain.
El Liberal denounces the recognition
of the belligerent rights Of the rebels
as unjust and opposed to law.
SPAIN says FL Liberal, will resist
even to the drenching of the soil with
Spanish blood any determined attempt
to affront the foreign intervention those

MIR. HITS OPINION.

MI fltt, chairman OF the house COM
mittee on foreign affairs. who reported
the Cuban resolutions which are bend :
ing before that body. read the news
contained in the United Press dis
patches with much interest. "The out
break in Barcelona" he said .'is but
the natural expression Of popular feel
ing. of which there have been manifes-
tations in this country. some of them
directed against Spain. The govern
ment of Spain has taken the proper po-
sition and is doing all that can he done
to prevent trouble and to protect our
representatives, from annoyance and
danger. The popular feeling in Spain
] feel assured is based upon the gem
eral belief there that the United States
proposes or at least is ready to pro-
ceed to hostilites. This impression or
belief in part grows out of the fact that
up to the present time there have been
no complaints by the Spanish govern
ment of any action by the United States
or of its failure to act and the Spanish
people assume that the passage of the
belligerency resolutions mean that We
are ready to go further. This shows
how grave are the consequences which
may ensue from our action and enforce
the necessity Of proceeding with great
caution and a realization of the possible
results of our action. The consul at

MORE TROOPS COMING.

Troops are being landed daily and
sent to Matanzas province after Gomez
and Maceo. 1t is probable other troops
will be sent from Spain after the 1000
en route have landed. 1t Is impossible
to form an accurate estimate of the
number of insurgents. II is certainly
not less, and probably much greater
than at the beginning of last month.
Weyler is exerting every effort to check
depredatiOns and decrease the ranks
of the enemy. He was urged to issue
"a proclamation declaring all bandits
who failed To surrender i'm fifteen days.
He will probably not take such action
owing to the attitude of the United
States.
General Weyler began an investiga-
tion of the Guatoa horror Immediately
after its publication by the American
press. He had interviews with Marquis
Gerverea. Captain CalvO and Others i'm
plicated There is little doubt that the
examples will be made now the truth
has been revealed. Other instances
have occurred which Weyler relied up
on reports of subordinates and refused
to investigate. In the Candelaria affair
where seventeen prisoners were taken
from the field after the battle and shot
down in cold blood. Weyler sent Gen
eral Canela. who commanded back to
Spain. Weyler undoubtedly regrets
these occurrences. He realizes the ef-
feet abroad and has ordered the gener-
ais to prevent reDetition.

GREETING We, the Clothing Cutters

of Local No. 100, L. G. w. of A., affiliated
with the A. f. L., are compelled to take
this means Of asking your financial aid to
carry the strike now pending in our city to
a successful issue. The manufacturers, at
meeting, formed a combine to disrupt
our Union and resolved to lock out all
union men. 1t then became necessary to
strike to save our organization. Prompt
action was taken by the Union, 500 men
going out, leaving only As scabs at work.
AS we are but one year in existence, our
Treasury is very limited.

Victory in Cincinnati means a general

The strikes of the U. G.. w. of A. in
Chicago and Baltimore and the late strug-
giles in New York and Rochester have rend
cred it impossible for the National Body
to give us the necessary aid, that we must
have to carry this struggle, which pro-
misses to be a long and costly one, to a sue
cessful issue. We call upon you for the
financial aid that may be in your power to
give us. We will thankfully receive any

A NOBLE STRUGGLE.

The Sons and Daughters of Poland
In the Battle for Human Freedom.
Our calendar is ennobled by few ami
versaries sadder than that of the death
in comlndeship of the four Polish Socialists
-Stanislaus Kunitzki, Peter Bardowski
Michael Ossowski and John PietrusinslSi.
The tragic event of the 2Sth of January,
1886, was duly COMMUNICATED in the various
countries where the Polish section of the
party is at work, and the current number
of the Bulletin Officiel is entirely conse-
Grated to the melancholy history of the old
''ProletaIiat organization.
This society. to which the fuller develop
ment of Socialism in the most downtrodden
of all countries owes so much, was founded
in 1852, having been preceded in 1877 by a
few Socialist clubs, and the publication at
Geneva of Polish review, The Equality,
printed, like the London Bulletin itself, in
the French language. Numerous arrests,
also, had taken place from the year 1878.
and the prisons of Warsaw and st. Peters
burg had been occupied by large number
of Socialists.
The "Ploletariat' was brought into be-
ing by the great spirit of the Polish move
ment--Louis Warynski This man, who
was condemned at the age of 30, and sub
sequently died in dungeon Of the fortress
of st. Peter and st. Paul, was singu-
larly well endowed for the mission he was
destined to fulill. Intellectual power and
energy, courage and devotion, and the spe-
cial quality of organization were at his

Least Of all had l expected to see in my
last few weeks sojoui'n in China an i'm

dustiial warfare, known as an inherent
disease of civilization, viz strike, in that
remote part of the world where the ray of
civilization still lacks its full penetration.
True, there were many instances Of feeble
and weaker classes resisting the tyranny OF
their superior classes in the history Of Chi

personal resistances there certainly We're.
But never have thought that should wit

stubbornly contested strike, in its every as

The Paris Socialist daily paper, La Petite
Republique, speaking about the United
States Senate's Cuba resolution, says:
1.-The Government of the United States
has sho wn European nations where their
duty lies. The Spanish Government is duly
notified that it cannot with impunity sub
sttute brutality for consideration in sup
pressing legitimate revolt. No doubt one
ought not to forget that the United States
have positive and material interest
in Cuban emancipation, but what
does that matter? If the nobility of the
sentiments which inspire the Senators
and Representatives at Washington is not
unmixed with other considerations it is
none the less true that their attitude con-
forms entirely to the emands Of right and
humanity. The first European nation
which initiates the United States will do
itself great honor and our love for the good
name of France makes us wish that she
might follow their example. 1t is not the
question of woundng the feelings Of a
friendly nation. The hearts Of the healthier
portion Of the Spanish people are assuredly
with the Cuban insurgents, or at least they
condemn the sangunary measures and the
pitiless policy recommended by the Spanish
Government and adopted by butcher Wey
Ter. Besides, one never goes wrong in pro-
tecting weakness OF denouncing crime,''

the results so far have satisfied the Of

will be in use shortly in all the great shops

favor of a change from steam to compressed
air was great saving in manual labor,
