THE PRESIDENT
Does Not Anticipate Any Trouble with
Spnin Over the Cnhan SiinaIlnn.

Does Not Anticipate Any Trouble with
Spain over the Cuban situation.
WASHINGTON, Nov. l6-Many state
ments respecting the attitude of the
administration on the Cuban question
have been circulated during the past
week and various articles of n conflict
ing character have been distributed
throughout the country. The pre- 81
dent has said that he does not anticI-
pate any trouble with Spain over the
Cuban situation and that there is no
intention to change the policy respect
ing the matter which was laid down by
the administration year ago.
In addition to this members of the
cabinet have stated that the Cuban
matter would be left for the new adj
ministration to settle. While follow
ing such course, the facts warrant
the statement that should an emer-
gency arise requiring decisive action
the government will he found keenly
alive to the requirements of the occa-
sion and amply provided for any emer-
gency which may be encountered.
Measures of n precautionary character
have been taken To meet any critical
condition which may arise, in other
words, the United States is judiciOuSly
continuing the work of strengthening
its Notifications and works of defense,
which have been in progress for sew
eral years and will thereby be prepared
ito change its policy should it be deem
= ID advisable SO to do. Investigation
proves that army officers along the
Atlantic coast are pushing the work in
their several departments with all pos
sible dispatch under orders to have
certain classes of heavy ordnance
ready for use at as early a day as this.
Every precaution for secrecy has been.
taken, and office:S--Ifated at The
navy yards decline to discusss their
unusual activity. While Secretary
Lamont says he is trying to
make some return in finished works of
defense for the great expenditures
which have been made in that direc-
ton there is no doubt that the maxim
lin time of peace prepare for war
has been passed along the line. No
well informed official anticipates trou-
BILE, but as one of them said Sunday
night, lit is like fire drill on board
ship. We want to know that every
body would be ready if a fire should
break out"

article on the proposed settlement by
arbitration OF the Anglo-Venezuelan
question, remarked upon the immense

their right to interfere in all territorial

timately be selected. This is eally a
matter of detail.
1t is taken for granted that Chief Jus.
tice Fuller will be one of the American
arbitrators. and it is not impossible
that Mr.. Frederick Coudcrt may be the
other. MIR. Coudcr;. being a member
of the Venezuelan commission, is emil
nently equipped with all informal on,
and would therefore be a valuable rep
resentative Of this government.
There is a rumor thursday that the
British foreign office has been guilty
Of a petty trick. designed To deprive
the president of the personal triumph
of announcing in his forthcoming
message 10 congress that American
diplomacy and determination had
triumphed over Great Britain. The
publication in advance of the sigma
ture of any portion of the proposed
Venezuelan protocol was glaring
breach Of the diplomatic usages that
are recognized between all govern
ments, Ii i known, of course, that
neither Secretary Olney nor Sir Julian
Paunce:otc had given ont this in
formation. Inquiry by the diplomats
representing other governments finally
revealed the fact that certain details
of the treaty, embodying its most inn
portant features, had been given out
by the British foreign Office To he
cabled to Washington and printed here
in order TO forestall President Cleve-
land.
LONDON, Nov lathe 1T. James
Gazette Thursday afternoon publishes
a leading article, headed AN His

It says: Lord Salisbury's great adj
mission of the principle that the
United States have the right to
intervene in frontier disputes of the
American powers and to compel the
disputants to arbitrate, altogether
transcends in Importance the ques-
ton of the Guiana boundary. 1t is
formal recognition of the hegemony
of the United States on the American
continent and gives the president a
position in the new world which the
medieval popes and emperors tried
vainly to claim in Europe"

FROM MADRID
Havana Gets Orders to Annoy American
Shipmasters.


Shipmasters.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE relations
of this country with the government
at Madrid have been further strained
by the action OF the Spanish officials
at Havana. For some time the latter
have been exercising a disagreeable
authority, presumably under instruc-
tons from Madrid, and have caused
much annoyance to shipmasters.
Mariners have been subjected to all
sorts of fines and taxes, under the
guise of violating harbor regulations.
Some of the levies have been without
justice and based on no other reason
than that it was possible to extort this
revenue from American sources. For
a time, it appears, no protest was
advanced by individuals, but the mat
ter has grown SO palpable in its in
Justice and holiness that the circum-
stances were at last reported to the
state department by returning mari
ners.
Secretary Olney at once instructed
Minister Taylor at Madrid to file pro-
test against the action of the Havana
officials, together with the demand
that the system should he discontinued
without delay.
