The Attitude of the In tied States
Towards Cuba
THE CHIEF TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION
Much Feeling Aroused by a PrOpos-
al tn Invite American bids ON
the New Fire Apparatus.

NC cTlSlS mas revived TcCOliec
lions in Paris of the Ill fated Mexican e.
petition, and interviews in this connection
with the imperialist generals, Basil AMI
,, Gallifet, and others have appeared in the
French press. ExQueen Isabella of Spain
is quoted as having expressed the belief
that the ideal of NAPOLEON III was the
Union of the Latin element as counter
poisu to the immense spread of Anglo
Saxon Influence. Her majesty is reported
as having said:
THE failure Of the (Mexican) expedition
personally dlsguieted me in the direction OF
Cuba. and you may adj that tentative ne
gotiations for The purchase of Cuba begun
bef.ro my abdication and were revived at
the moment Spain was crippled and har-
| raised by internal struggles"
| The leading London weeklies devote much
| space TO the Cuban question.
| The Statst thinks there is very little
| prospect that spain viii soon be able TO
assert her authority in cuba ami urges
| Great Britain. with or without the consent
| OF some oil the great european powers, to
| offer her good offices to the United States
and Spain.
| The Statist attaches little importance to
the general continental objection that the
United States has no right to interfere ami
says;
Unless enc or more of the great rowers
is prepared to forciby interpose intorven-
ten, mere verbal objection viii carry no
weight. In case of war, Spain will he alb
solutey ruined in the end. The Lest friend
OF Spain is he who tries to induce her to
come to some arrangement in time"
Comment has been provoked by he feel
ing shown at the London county councils
recent meeting, when the chairman of the
public works committee suggested that ten
ders for new fire department be invited
IRON America. The proposal was received
with howl of disapproyal. showing that
made IN America is apparently regarded
by the members of the council with equal
-evulson OF made in Germany" The
conservative newspapers claim to see in
this incident an indication of the decad-
cnee of Cobdenism. and express the opinion
That Great britain must certainly have
Travelled long way from the position taken
up by the old free traders when popu-
arly elected body like the London county
council approves OF the idea that no work
must be given 10 foreign countries while
Britons need employment.
