FRESH CLAIMS AGAINST SPAIN.
Uncle Sam Wants Indemnity for Losses to
American Sugar Planters.

Uncle Sam Wants Indemnity for Losses to
American Sugar Planters.
MADRID, May 12.-The Spanish premier,
Senior Canovas del Castillo, and the United
States minister at Spain, Mr.. Hannis
Taylor, had an important conference yes
terday, the result of which Is not known.
1t is reported that Captain General Wey-
Ter has cabled the Spanish government
that it is impossible for him to proceed
with the war as he should do, as the Span
ish authorities at every moment are ham,
pered by the Irritating modelling of Amer
lea in Cuban affairs"
1t is understood that the United States
government has presented fresh claims for
heavy indemnities through losses on sugar
plantations belonging to Americans,
which have been burned by the insurgents.
1t is expected that these demands will lead
to further complications.
The Impartial, referring editorially to
the strained relations between the United
States and Spain, says; 1.-THE United States
intend to wear out the patience of Spain
or themselves declare war. 1t is prefer
able to hasten events, as the inferiority OF
Spain will increase with time"

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Concerning the
sentence of death imposed by the court
martial at Havana on the prisoners cap
tured on the American schooner Competi-
tor, it can be authoritatively stated that
at the request of the United States the
Spanish government will postpone execu-
tion of the death sentences upon Ameri-
can citizens until the views of the United
States government respecting the applica-
tion of their cases of the treaty of 1895 and
the protocol of 1877 can be presented and
considered.
The above announcement means n de-
lay of some weeks, at least, in the attempt
TO carry out the sentences. The matter
will be made the subject of correspond
ence on the Interpretation to be given the
treaty provisions, and meanwhile popular
excitement both here and in Spain will
have time to become allayed.
1t is stated here on the highest authority
that the Spanish minister has advised his
government to commute the sentences of
the Americans captured on the Competi-
tor, and that there is good reason to be-
lieve that his advice will be followed It
is expected that In the end the Americans
will be fully pardoned unless, after a civil
trial, fairly and dispassionately conducted,
they shall be found guilty. In that event
the sentence of the civil court will proba-
bly, be carried out without protest from
our government.

Case to the Jameson Raid.
LONDON, May 12.-The Graphic, COM
menting upUn the question at issue be
tween the United States and Spain over
the men sentenced to death at Havana,
compares the Competitor cases to the
Jameson raid and says "Englishmen can
sympathize with the United States look
ing at the scandalous misgovcrnment in
Cuba But the analogy collapSes when
the attitude of the United States to its
own raiders Is compared with Englands S
to hers. What would Europe have said
if Mr.. Chamberlain had talked to Presi-
dent Kruger as Mr.. Olney talks to Spainf
We trust, however, that Spain will show
clemency to the filibusters, for the knowl.
edge that she will not do so twice may
help to put Mr. Olney on his guard and to
moderate the enthusiasm of the Florida
Cubanophiles.
The Times says in an editorial: Spain
is well advised in yielding to Mr.. Olney's
demand for delay. She has thus averted
an explosion of popular Indignation in the
United States which no administration,
however paciflcally disposed, could have
resisted. 1t is extremely fortunate that
the sentences have not been summarily
executed, so that Spain is able to avert an
unappeasable quarrel 1t will not be de-
MED that Spain has the right on her side,
but to insist upon the letter of her rights
would be in the highest degree impolitic.
The United States can make strong case
on merely technical grounds. Captain
General Weyler's attitude could be better
understood if he had had any success in
dealing with the insurgents. Whatever
the explanation may be, circumstances
seem to be rapidly settling the Cuban
question, and very unfavorably for
| Spain"

Addicks Defeats Higgins.

WILMINGToN, Del, May Ill. Edward
Addicks scored a signal victory on Satur.
day at the election for delegates to the Re
publican state convention, and will now
head the Delaware delegation to st. Louis.
While he has been silent as to his prefer.
ence for president, and has been credited
with inclinations toward Quay, there is
little doubt that he will drop in with the
general drift to Mckinley. The Higgins
leaders are making claims of success, but
the returns do not sustain them Addicks
will control the convention by at least
twenty majority.

DOUBT is expressed by gentlemen learned
in the law whether the latest act Of Presi-
dent Cleveland in placing some 10000 ad-
ditional Offices within the scope Of the Civil
Service act is binding on his successor. 1t is
held in some quarters that what one Presi-
dent can do another can undo, and that not
only the first but the second batch of offices
that Mr.. Cleveland has transferred from the
'spoils' to the competitive system may be
restored by his successor to the arena of
political contest. Whether those who hold
the affirmative Of this proposition OF their
opponents are in the right this much is
obvious Mr.. Cleveland made the change of
relation and method of appointment from
purely Clevelancsquc motives, which no
amount Of buncombe or hypocrisy can
obscure. For many years to COME unless
Congress shall decree otherwise, the public
service will be stuffed with Mugwumps and
Of the army of Federal office holders those
who are in full political sympathy with sue
ceeding Administrations will be Il minority.

The new cruiser Brooklyn was given
her unofficial trial trip yesterday. She
accomplished the splendid speed Of 2l.07
knots an hour on run of three hours un-
der forced draught. This is over a knot
faster than the speed called for in the CON
tract, and insures premium for her
builders, the Cramps, of over $500, 900, at
the rate of $4,000 for each quarter knot in
excess of twenty knots, there being no
room for reasonable doubt that she will at
least equal yesterdays speed on her official
trial
