SPAIN'S DILEMMA.
She Hates to KnuckIe Down
to the United States.
And Yet She'll Have Trouble In Rails
ing the Sinews of War.
The Popular Demonstrations in Spain Speak
Without Dissent for War.

Barcelona, March S.-This city was
the scene, today, of further demonstra-
tions against the United States. The
bands in the places of public resort played
patriotic airs and were encored again and
again. People on the boulevards sang
patriotic songs and there was much cheer
ing for Spain and shouting of death to
the Yankees :"
It IL very evident from tn" conversation
everywhere heard that war with the
United States would meet with the popu-
lar approval, but the government is not
paying much attention to the popnlace,
beyond preventing it, as far as possible
from acting in !. disorderly manner. 1t
being Sunday, the authorities feared the
demonstrations might become riotous and
extra precautions were taken to quell the
disorders in their inoipiency. AS the day
wore on the crowds in the streets rapidly
increased in numbers.
The gendarmes were active in their
efforts to prevent any too large An assem-

VENEZUELA BLUE BOOK.
English Newspapers Consider 1t q Pre-
sentation of Britain's Case.


LONDON, March S.-The Westminster
Gazette. referring to the Venezuelan blue
book, says: The first point TO be made
clear is that the blue book is nothing
more than our case. We must not forget
that we are open to answers. We well
come the apparent strength Of our case,
not because we imagine we score on every
point; but because there so much room to
give and take.
The st. James Gazette remarks: 1t is q
very forcible statement of strong case.
What interests us is the question whether
the American commission will pay full
attention to our statement, and, having
done so. will decide purely on the evidence
without allowing itself to be in any degree
influenced by other considerations We
must hope it will We cannot rec gnize
the commission, but we know its fin ling

GERMANY HANGS BACK.
She Has All Italian Securities She Wants
and Rather Derides War Talk.

Berlin, March SIT is believed, and
indeed, almost desired, in official circles
here, that King Humbert will be unable
to find an Italian statesman who will be
willing to construct Il cabinet on the basis
of n continuance of the war in Abyssjnia,
and will consequently be obliged to recall
Signor Crispi, who, after strengthening
the cabinet, will order Gen. Baldissera to
seize the first chance to fight successful
battle with the Shoans, and then termi
nate the African campaign.
During the discussion In financial cir
Giles, yesterday upon the possibility Of
1taly's concluding a loan in Germany the
report got abroad and became generally
credited that this view was commended to
King Humbert by a parsonage high in
German official circles.
In regard to the floating of such loan,
there is only one opinion. Germany
already holds more than enough Italian
securities and nothing that Italy has to
otter could induce tine open operation of a
new Italian lean in Germany.
With crushing national debt, her
banks of issue practically insolvcnt, her
rate of taxation at the maximum figure
Italy can obtain the sinews of war only
through private arrangements OUTSIDE of
the ordinary principles upon which finan-
cial houses work.
There are still resources in Italy, which.
If pledged, might induce q syndicate to
give the government a substantial loan.
but otherwise no loan would be made
German financiers consider that the
corruption in the administration of the
Italian government and the absolute cor.
ruption prevailing in the civil service
have been potent factors in tho decline of
the country, and if any more German
money goes TO Italy, it must have much
better guarantee than the existing ones.
Within the last few days advces from
Rome have reported that it is probable
that the government would pay foreign
creditors in paper currency, which is now
at discount of II per cent.
Italian rentes and Italian rail way Sc
cur'tlss thrown upon the market by the
general holders, have been partly taken
up on speculative account

REMARKABLE HoLpuP.


CHICAGO, March S.-One OF the most
remarkable holdups that has ever occurred
in this city took place on Ashland bouie-
ward, the most aristocratic street on the
West side, on Friday. The victim was
James w. Sheridan, a wealthy brewer,
and he was relieved of gold watch, about
$500 in cash and a pin valued at $3.50 The
robbery was committed by three men. one
of whom held a revolver against Mr.. Sher-
idan's abdomen while another pressed u
gun against his side. The third man did
the collecting.
While the robbery was going on several
of Sheridan's friends passed by and said;
Good evening, Mr.. Sheridan" The vic
tim, persuaded by the revolvers which
were held against his body, returned the
cheerful salutation in cheerful tone. and
his friends thinking that he was talking
with the three men, went on their way
and left Sheridan to be robbed. The rob-
berry was committed on busy street and
under the glare of an electric lamp. When
1t was all over the three men ran away.
and there is very little chance of catching
them.
