London Press Comment.

LONDON, Feb. 29.-Tho action of the
United States senate on the Cuban ques-
tion has aroused comment in the press Of
this city An editorial in Tho Standard
this morning says: "The senate has placed
President Cleveland in a highly embar-
rassing position. 1t is unlikely that the
proud Spanish nation would yield if
America threatened war on behalf Of Gu
ba. It's much to be hoped that President
Cleveland will net prudently."
An editorial In Tho Times on the same
subject says: "Tho resolution is very en-
barrassing for Spain, who, while she can
not but regard the recognition as an un-
friendly act, is in no position to resent It,
She could gain nothing by declaring war
against the United States, who, in addi-
tion, can make out case which Is at least
plausible, that It is merely tardy and re-
luctant recognition Of palpable facts. The
supplementary resolution was avowedly
added in Difference to those who would
gladly provoke war with Spain. The pro-
posals for the Independence Of Cuba, pre-
sented as they probably would be with a
dircctness of speech in which American
politicians often indulge, could not fail to
prove in the highest degree offensive to a
proud and sensitive people. Whatever
course the president may decide to take,
this resolution and the infammatory Ian
guage IN which IL was discussed demand
the most serious consideration by Spain.
Her position is one of such difficulty and
delicacy that she may we'll command tho
sympathy even of those disapproving the
recent history Of Cuba. Distasteful as al
most any course, save an obstinate contin-
uance Of the struggle, must be to the ma
iorlty Of Spaniards, it may perhaps be ad-
visablo to consider whether home rule for
Cuba is not the best solution"
A dispatch from Madrid to The Stand
ard says that tho papers there publish
sone curious statistics as to the cost of
the Cuban war. Nearly llS,O 600 men have
been sent to tho island, and the cost Of the
rebellion has already amounted TO &c.
00O, 600 1850, 600, 000), and for the second
year Il viii exceed e15.000, 600 E75, 600,
OOO) The Standards correspondent says
that Captain General Weyler reports that
it will take at least two years to crush the
rebellion.
The Chronicle in an editorial, thinks
that, in view Of the concurrent resolution,
Captain General Weyler's action and the
approach Of the presidential election, Presi-
dent Cleveland win not hesitate long.
'sThe seriousness Of the situation Gre
ated, - The Chronicle goes on TO say, can
not we'll be overcstimated. it is incon-
co.vahle that Spain should agree to give
| independence to Cuba. It Is equally diff
cult TO sec what effective opposition shs
could offer II the United States determined
! to follow its good offices by action. The
, American government, however is enter
/ ing upon a thorny road at the bidding o.
congress. We suppose that it fully recog
nizos all the responsibilities that it Is pro
posing 10 incur.

A sacret senate.

From the Boston Herald.
The unusual step toward discussing
tho foreign relations OF the Government
Ia secret sessions Of the Senate is
another indication Of ths want OF conf
dence la the wisdom OF what Is likely to
be said there. Perhaps Il is more impor-
tant as a symptom OF public fesling that
IL should be suggested than In any other
relation We shall have to 20 far back
Ia the history Of the country to find =
precedent from it, and It Is likely TO
encounter opposition for many Senators.

even II the action Is adopted. for there
are men ia the SenEte who. il they do
not fad one occasion to make their views
known, will create another. There is
little restraint in the rules Of the Set ate,
and there are several orators there who
have slight resOect for such restrictions
as there are For this and other reasons
the measure seems to us doubtful Of
adoption.

What VIII Become OF Italy
From the New York Sun.
The term OF years to which Italy
formed an alliance with Germany and
Austria will expire In 1897. and nsgotla-
tions for the renewal OF the agreement
are said to have been already begun
Slgnor Crspl, having regard to the
financial straits In which his country Is
involved, Is reported TO have asked that
the burdens imposed upon her by the ex
iatinR league should be materially les
sened, Ia view OF this request, her pres
ent allies may consider whether It would
not be better to seek partner In another
quarter rather than continue to guaran
tee the integrity Of King Humbert's
territory. This question will be
earnestly presled upon the gov
ernments OF Berlin and Vienna.
II, as now seems probable. the italian
campaign In Abyssinia shall end in disas-
trous failure. Il Is clear, even from the
garbled accounts which have been per-
mitted to see the light, that either from
a lack Of generalship, or OF soldiership,
or of commlssarlat, or from all three de-
feets combined, the considerable forces
under General Baratiera have not only
failed to perform what was expected, but
are threatened with catastrops Should
such be the outcome OF the Abysslnian
adventure, Germany and Austrian mlli-
tary experts would draw the obvious
deduction that Italy corporation would
be OF doubtful utility in the event Of =
European war Hitherto her alliance
has been sought solely on the assump-
tion that she would be able to make on
her western frontier demonstration SO
effective as to compel the detachment OF
an important part Of the French army for
the defence Of Provence against Invasion.
But should It be fair inference from the
result OF operations In Abysslnia that
$4,000 Frsnchmen not only would be able
to make head sgsinst any body OF troops
likely to be msssed In Piedmont, but pro
baby could turn the tables, aud them
selves become Invaders OF Lombardy, 1t Il
manifest that Italy would become 1

Nd presIdent's AttItude.

It Is understood in official circles that
the resolutions with regard 10 Cuban rec
ognition before congress were considered
with much seriousness at the meeting OF
the cabinet. It is also understood that the
administration is not in favor of the rec
ognition of Cuban belligerenoy at this
time. 1t may be said that this is an open
secret. The conservative feeling of the
president and his advisers is said to be
the result, not Of any lack Of sympathy
with the insurgents, but because of the
ombarrassments that would confront tho
United States government If recognition
were accorded.
1t IS also asserted that the president and
the members Of his cabinet are embarrass-
ed over the possibility of the adoption by
congress of resolutions on the Cuban ques-
ton in q form requiring executive APP
proval. Some prominent officials, while
known to have the greatest personal SYM
pathy with the insurgent cause in Cuba,
have shown that they believe that formal
recognition by congress and the president
nt this time would result in consequences
too serious to be lightly encountered.
