SPAIN SAYS SHE Is HUMANE.
A Statement Alleged to Have Been
sent to Washington City.

New York, Feb. A World special from
Paris says: Reliable intelligence has been
received from Madrid that the Spanish
government has made a brilliant diplo-
matte stroke in connection with the recent
resolution reported to the United States
senate on Cuban affairs. The resolution
called on Spain In friendly manner TO
recognize the Cuban rebels as belligerents.
This singular request, something unique
in the way Of foreign statecraft, naturally
caused discussion at Madrid.
The government of Senior Canovas I'M
derstood the reasons which prompted the
senate committee. and at a cabinet council
ii was decided to respond promptly and
10 display an entirely amicable and cour-
teous attitude toward the American
government and people. Accordingly the
minister OF foreign affairs ad-
dressed a cipher dispatch to Senior
de Lone, the Spanish minister at Washing
ton City. The latter was directed TO inform
Secretary Olaey Immediately that what
the senate committee asks In its resolu-
ton is exactly what Gen. Martinez Cam
pos had been doing while governor general
OF Cuba. He had been so lenlent In his
treatment OF those In rebellion against the
lawful government OF Cuba as To arouse
criticism among military men everywhere.

Welcomed by the Populace at
the Railroad Station.
THE QUEEN FRIENDLY TO HIM.
Joseph Chamberlain Alone. OF the
Ministry, Stands in . Position
Hostile to the Adventurer.

New York, Feb a-A special TO the World
from London says: Cecil Rhodes. who was
the premier Of Cape Colony at the time OF
Jameson's raid into the TransyaaI, Is III
London. AT his arrival there was as much
of popular ovation at Paddington sta
ton as the conservative or perhaps frlsl.-
ened managers OF the Chartered South
African Company would permit large
crowd had gathered, but the whilom dicta-
tor was hurried into prosaic four-wheeier
and taken away. Perhaps an interesting
fact is that well dressed ladies predoEii-
mated IN the crowd on the station platform
awaiting the arrival of Mr.. Rhodes train.
Arthur Balfour, a bachelor ike Rnodss,
by the way, arrived by special train few
minutes earlier. and was mistaken LOT
Rhodes and loudly cheered.
The queen is reported. in common with
the vast ma iority of the ladies in the king
DOM, as well probably as their husbands.
as an earnest advocate of the bestowai or
peerages upon Rhodes and Jameson. Lady
Warwick has published letter IN the
Times defending them through thick and
thin. Her majesty's advocacy, according
TO Official gossip, explains much that Is
otherwise mysterious in the action Of the
cabinet Lord Salisbury. her loyal and de-
voted friend echoed by his organ, the
Times. has not a word TO say, but every
thing by inference is in favor Of jameson.
The colonial secretary, Mr.. Chamber
lain, knowing he has been from the first
unwelcome in the cabinet, is pursuing his
chosen course again apparently undaunted.
II he persist in arraigning and securing an
impartial trial OF the invaders he may be
forced out of the cabinet.
IL may be added that there is very hos
tile feeling in the conservative mercantile
and investment classes in England against
the South African sudden millionaires and
their methods. For the last year or so no
new or per cent. enterprise has had any
chance in the London market while the
dazzling prospect of 800 or 400 per cent. In
South African mining schemes was at
tracing capital. Chamberlain would Rave
that element behind him. as well as the
conservative Englishmen. who fear that
the imitation of the example set by these
men would be followed by war.

Earl OF DunrayrD.
LONDON. Feb. 5.-The Chronicle says this
morning: The Prince OF Wales has earn
estly counseled Lord Dunraven. with refer
ence to any steps he may take regarding
the report of the New York Yacht Club
committee, to keep well before Ills mind
the desirabillty OF promoting good and
friendly feeling. not only between sports
men on both sides, but between the people
of England and America The Prince OF
Wales views the terms of the committees
finding as Offering the greatest encourage
uent ia this direction and there Is reason
&c believe that such action Will shortly be
taken on this side as will lead To a speedy
termination OF the unfortunate contro-
versy.
Sporting Life comments upon the finding
IN the Dunrayen inquiry, and considers
that the committee acted In perfect good
faith on the evidence before them. But
the general opinion In England" says
Sporting Life, is that the report Is just
worth the paper Ii Is written on. There Is
no reason why the affair should prevent
further challenge for the Americas cup"

Many were the expressions OF regret yes

and. although realizing that he had lived
to ripe old age, longer than was allotted
to the ordinary man. they were neverthe-
less sorrowful at the thought that his IA

incidents and anecdotes that transpired

which he was the central figure, and all
had kind words for the deceased pioneer.
