pearance of measles In the Presidential
household, little Esther being stricken

course, and to prevent the possibility of
it's transmission to the White House,
MIR. Thurber has absented himself from
his own domicile for the past week and
has made his residence at the White
House. However, this sacrifice WAS of
no avail, for this morning the eruption
suddenly appeared on little Esther

BRITISH PRESS ON THE RESOLUTIONS.
Spain Will Not Understand They Are a
Part of the Prudential Camnai1n

Spain Will Not Understand They Are a
Part of the Presidential Campaign.
LONDON, April THE Globe this
afternoon commenting upon the Cuban
belligerency vote in the United States
House of Representatives yesterday
says:
THE chief danger of the situation Is
that Spanish pride will never surrender
SPANS most valuable colony until
beaten to the ground, and, should there
be repetition OF the popular demon.
STATIONS against the United States,
American passion might flame up in an
ugly manner and compel President
Cleveland to demand satisfaction. This
would almost inevitably result in war,
and while the United States would of
course crush Spain, American trade. all
ready very delicate. would be very
largely wrecked"
In conclusion the Globe expresses the
opinion that it Is improbable that Pres
ident Cleveland will seriously consider
the concurrent resolutions.
The st. Jsmes Gszett5 remarks:
Congress voted with the intention Of
being offensive to Spain. This, pre-
sumably, is the new American diplo-
macy and we must candidly confess that
we do not admire 1t. When 1t ia tried
against sensitive people, already in
difficulties, It is eminently calc ula ted to
provoke an explosion. The Spsnisrds
do not understand that 1t is part OF the
Presidential campaign"
The Resolutions Condemned
PARIS, April THE Temps, com
menting upon yesterdays vote in tho
United States House of Representatives
on Cuban affairs, says: THE action
OF Congress establishes record for dip
lomatic indeco,um. The resolu ton was
voted because Congress knew 1t was
giving sword blow In the water.
President Cleveland will affect ignor-
ance OF the resolution and Spain, in
spite Of her just indignation, will act
wisely also In ignoring q demonstration
which Ia predestined to failure"
