SPAIN AND CLEVELAND.

Rum ors Regarding SPANS Request to
France-CleveIand in Doubt.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-In the opin-
ion of President Cleveland and Secre-
taTy Olney, a serious phase has been
impaired to the question of the relations
between the United States and Spain.
They learn that Spain has made over
lures to France FOR moral and material
aid in the event of this Government
taking any aggressive action with re-
gard to Cuba. If France has returned a
definite reply to these OYertures, the
President and Secretary Olney have not
learned it's character.
France has not yielded to the recent
opportunities of Spain for additional
loans. She would scarcely rupture her
relations with this Government with
the erroneous idea that by helping
Spain to retain possession of Cuba that
bankrupt and broken down monarchy
would be able to meet its financial OBJ
legations to France.

NEW YORK, May 24.-The Worlds
London cable says: Day by day it grows
apparently more clear that the Mata-
belle war is simply and only a device
to distract attention from the reYela
tions concerning the Transvaal raid.
1t is freely asserted that the Once-con-
quered Matabele were melted to take
up arms by raids upon their villages
and the slaughter of their cattle on the
pretense of DISCRIMINATING contagious
diseases; that Buluwayo has never been
in danger of assault, for the reason that
the rebels themselves have never made
nor contemplated aggressive move
ments, but are really hiding in the hills,
and that the murder of settlers was
only in reprisal for similar outrages on
natives.

the instance of the Attorney General
for the purpose Of securing a decision
as to the construction of our neutrality
laws and their effect in preventing fill
clustering expeditions against friendly
powers. WibOrg and his associates were
accused of attempting to land arms
surreptitiously in Cuba. They were
found guilty under the neutrality laws
in the United States court at Philadel-
phia. Today's opinion held that the
decision Of the Philadelphia court was
correct on the point that the expedition
was in violation of the neutrality laws.
The judgment was affirmed as to Wi
borg, but reversed as to Mates johann

they were ignorant of the purposes of
the expedition. Justice Harlan concur
red in the reversal of the judgment as
to Peterson and JOhansen, but dissented

NEW YORK, May 24.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent says: The
State Department, I am reliably in
formed, has assurances from Madrid
that all existing contracts between
Americans and tobacco growers in
Cuba viii be respected, and that the
necessary instructions TO this effect
have gone TO the Spanish authorities in
Cuba.
The Department has thus gained the
only point it made against Spain in the
tobacco matter, and it is not probable
that any further protests will be raised
against the embargo on the expectation
OF leaf tobacco from Cuba The Depart
ment has never questioned the right of
the Spanish Government TO issue such
an edict.
