Spain Looking to Consul Lee.

NEW YORK, June ia cable
to the World from Madrid says:
The greatest concern and curiosity
is shown in Spain, especially in
political and military circles in
Madrid, for intelligence Of the
movements of Consul General Lee.
All the papers comment on his
cordial relations with Gen. Wey-
Ter, his wary and cautious replies
to Spanish reporters and his pru-
dent remarks on the relations be-
tween the United States and Spain.
The impression Is gaining ground
in official and political circles that
Consul General Lee and Minister
Taylor will probably be instructed
by the United States government
to sound the disposition Of Gen.
Weyler and the Spanish govern
ment with q view to paving the
way for some honorable pacifica-
tion Of Cuba through American
meditation.

THE RESOLUTIONS.

Discussing Cuba, Senator Hill made
the serious proposition, yesterday that
IL this country proposes to throw out
its bluffs right and left, it must be pre-
pared to make them good. In the view
of the senator a threat is implied in a
paragraph of the resolutions which the
senate is considering. 1t may be that
the senator has been reading recent
number of the Army and Navy journal
which says editorially:
The fact is that we are fast tending In
this country to the Chinese ideas of war
Like the Chinese, we are placing our de-
pendence on the beating of tom-toms ana
the issue of paralyzing proclametions.
Valiant congressman shouting denance 10
the world, are supposed to be the only
type of military men this country has any
use for AS a naval officer said to u.s.
Sooner or later some one will call our
bluff and we shall turn up empty hands.
We regret to make so unpromising re-
port but we must be truthful, and II Is
best that the army shoul understand the
situation with which IL has to deal.
For our part, we believe in the rec
IGNITION of Cuban belligerency. That
Is no declaration of war; 1t is not
cause for war. We do not assert that
II is this country's duty to free Cuba
that question mas nothing to do with
the recognition of belligerent rights.
We think, though, that this country's
act of recognition would so strengthen
the cause of the Cubans as to contrib
ute to their success and TO their ulti-
mate independence; our hope is that
this would be the outcome.
Meanwhile-after the Spaniards have
tired themselves out tearing up Ameri-
can fiags-if Spain elects to con5true
our recognition of Cuban belligerent
rights as a measure for war, Spain is
at liberty to do 1t. That is SPANS af-
fair; that is a contingency which, in
our judgment, the United States dare
| fare

1T is BADLY MIYED.

Mr. Joseph Nimmo who has had
much to do with nautical affairs,
shipping interests and government
statistics. contributes to the March
number of the Forum an article
in which he undertakes to show
that the proposed Nicaragua canal is
an impracticable scheme. He puts
facts and figures in array which are
supposed to prove that the projectors
of the canal are worldwide away from
the truth.
The general public may as well give
up guessing whether this canal can
be built, how much IL would cost and
whether II would pay. The men who
started out to build the canal furnish
reported to be liberal figures submitted
by eminent engineers who had given
personal attention to the surveys and
the calculations. At one time the gov
eminent concluded to have these fig
ures studied; that was when the canal
people wanted federal backing. The
government engineers increased by
many millions the estimated cost of
the canal Finally the conclusion was
reached that the canal could be built
for s135, 0000
Mr.. Nimmo insists that the cost is
sure to be 2OO.OOO,O 900 or more. Then,
too, the Forum article deals merciless-
ly with the figures on tonnage. The
prospectus of the canal company
claims that the tonnage OF the canal
would be eight millions annually. Mr..
Nimmo asserts that il would not be
one million. By the time one has read
his nautical conditions" physical
characteristics, traffic lines, trade
routes, and estimates on water and
rail transportation, one is in such mem
tai confusion as to be all at sea respect
ing the relative merits of the canal
companys claims and Mr.. Nimmo's
structures.
OF course. Mr.. Nlmmo figures that
the canal would not begin to pay. that
1t would be an inglorious failure lnan-
cially. that 1t is as good as a physical
impossibility. that it would be worse
than useless to the government for
military purposes. and that, in fact, 1t
is a crazy scheme. Out Of IL all comes
| nothing, except the rather unsatisfac-
| tory conclusion that the general pub
lie can form no intelligent idea respect
ing the merits OF the canal project

GETTING EYPOSED-

Within a day or two the Standard
has quoted what several republican
newspapers have said In criticism of
Mr.. Hanna's strike for money in aid
of the Mckinley campaign. 1t has been
charged that Hanna has sent out hun
dreds of letters. assessing the protected
industries and the trusts for money.
not for next autumn's campaign work.
but for the purpose OF capturing the ST.
Louis nomination for his man. In a
dozen republican newspapers this
charge has been brought.
Recently Hanna has denied this ac-
cusation. He asserts that nothing OF
the kind is true and that in no instance
has he acted as charged. The thing has
gone so far as TO have engaged the at
tention Of the independent press. Says
the Philadelphia Times: The editor OF
this journal has personal knowledge OF
letters written by Mr.. Hanna to prom

on the contrary. Silver is something in
this state. The discussion and the ad-
verse thirty votes out of 121, are the
most conspicuous expression of hos
tility we have heard in Montana since
the agitation for free coinage began.
Yet we understand that these same
thirty propose to ask for state appro-
priation with which to advertise for
immigrants-an appropriation which
must come largely out of the silver
counties because they are the counties In
Montana that do the bulk of the tax
paying as well as the bulk of the pro-
ducing.

inent manufacturers in Pennsylvania,
urgently soliciting liberal subscriptions
to aid McKinley's contest for the pres
sons given was that there was danger
of the southern delegations friendly to
Mckinley being organized against him.
The appeal was made to the friends of
high protection that the election of Nc
Kinley was q necessity to assure a re-
turn to the protective policy of the Nc
Kinley bill We repeat that Mr.. Hanna
did write such letters to Pennsylvania
and elsewhere, and we challenge Mr..
Hanna to contradict the statement. II
he shall attempt to do so, he will be
overwhelmed with testimony that must
put him and his cause to shame"
The case amounts to this: More than
a year ago the Mckinney workers cam
paigned the South and captured it, as
they supposed. They used money. and
they believed they were organized for
their favorite In every southern state
that was the basis for the assertions re-
speeding McKinley's strength. Now
that other candidates are looking over
the field, Mr.. Hanna brazenly appeals
to the manufacturers in Pennsylvania
and throughout the East for money
with which to hold the commercial del
egations in the South and the Middle
West
The curious result is that all over the
country the organs of other candidates
rush in with the assertion that the
country does not want a return of the
Mckinley tariff, that it was wrong and
that 1t was overwhelmingly voted down
at the polls.

THE CONTRAST.

Within a few days a committee of
the chamber of commerce in New York
city has sent all over the country a
circular which will doubtless be of
weight because of the source whence II
comes. The circular is addressed to
boards of trade, bankers, business men
and voters. IL asks them all to "join in
an effort to remove from politics the
question of the country's currency" 1t
expresses the opinion that the time has
passed for any hating or equivocal pol
icy. II demands that the political par
ties go squarely on record. 1t appeals
20 the public to take an active part in
the selection of delegates to the nation
al conventions. the understanding be-
ing that the delegates must Insist on
platform utterances that are distinctly
in favor of the maintenance of the pres
ent gold standard"
Take notice that this mighty goldbug
agency, New York's chamber of COM
merce. did not hold a meeting and
make the feature of the day" a long
discussion as to whether II was polite,
expedient and wise for its members to
go into politics with the silver question
that isn't the manner of campaign
the enemies of silver make. They
preach the goldbug dogma In season
and out OF season, they work hard and
spend their money freely in the hope
that the cause of free coinage may be
crushed.

NOT SETTLED YET.

Some of the recent reports about the
prompt settlement of the Venezuelan
case have been exploded. Nothing re-
mains except the case as IL originally
stood, together with pleasant assuran-
ces-wherever they come from-to the
effect that a friendly settlement will
surely be reached.
England's case was made up by Sir
Frederick Pollock. The way he puts
Il, the case is clearly settled now-in
England's favor. He makes II out
that Venezuela never had the ghost of
a claim or the shadow of ground for
a dispute. On his theory. Lord Sails
bury ought to have FASTENED to favor
arbitration; he would have won hands
down on Sir Frederick's showing.
In view of the case thus set forth
for England. It is not probable that
there is the slightest foundation for
rumors to the effect that Cleveland and
Salisbury have reached conclusions.
Venezuela has her case to present, and
then IL will worry the members OF the
presidents commission to find out the
truth. This country is not proposing TO
draw a boundary line; the business of
the commission is to see whether a
well-defined line exists. The present
outlook is that this will be a very try
ing task.
