Sherman Criticized.

HAVANA, March 2-Considerable indig-
nation is expressed here in official circles
a the statements attributed to Senator
Sherman in the United States senate
charging General Weyler with unlimited
crimes during the last revolution" as the
matter is quoted here and when acting
as commander of a Spanish column The
friends of General Weyler claim it is not
true that he committed the acts attributed
TO him, as if he had behaved In the man
ner described he would have been pun
lshed by the general in chief.
Continuing, the friends of General Wey-
Ter assert that the policy of the inSur-
gents now, as before, is to charge Span
ish officers who distinguish themselves
IN lighting with abominable crimes in or
der that these officers may be transferred
to other posts or be sent back to Spain.
Lieutenant Colonel Arce in command of
the Isabella battalion, was engaged yes
terday with the insurgent forces COM
manded by Olalla, Nunez, Cayito and Al
Yarez. He dislodged the insurgents from
their positions and they left eighteen
killed and retired with many wounded. In
later engagement the insurgent lost
twenty-five killed and many wounded

LONDON, March 1.-The st. James
Gazette remarks:
If Spain and the United States go to
war it does not follow that the Ameri-
cans will have such a mere WalkoYer
as they anticipate The fall in the
price OF American stocks tells it's own
tale American commerce would be a
line bait for Spanish priVateers, and
the capture of Cuba would hardly
compensate for such damage Ame1f-
can commerce would feel the results
not only on the Atlantic but in Euro
Dean waters.
The prospect of Spanish privateers
recalls that another of Americas DO
litical chicks is coming home to roost
spain followed Americas example in
refusing TO recognize the abolition of
prlyateers. Thus not even the slight
OBSTACLE of International agreement
exists to prevent the Spaniards from
equlpplnG a swarm of steamers to prey
upon American shipping, which the
americans threaten to do to the Brit
sn II they are ever at war with the
United States.
The relations between the United
States and Spain over the Cuban
question continue to occupy a large
snare of attention and the newspapers
OF all classes comment upon the situa-
zion.
The editorial of the Times on the
subject says:
Some people might pronounce Mr..
Hits resolution more offensive and
bellicose than the senate's. but the
point is Of little consequence. consid-
ering the largeness of the ma1orfties
and the rapidity with which the reso-
luton was adopted, almost amounting
TO preclpitancy. Our correspondent
ascribes this haste to the Barcelona
disturbances, but Spain apologized for
these with a promptitude worthy of a
Chamberlain referring to Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain attitude on
the question of the jameson raid into
the TransvaaI)
President Cleveland has now to de-
eide whether it is safe to disregard the /
concurrent resolution. We may sus-
pect the Cuban agitation of being to
some extent fictitious, because of the /
large financial interests involved and /
the president, daring to disregard the
present clamor. might little later re-
ceiYe the country's thanks. Should
President Cleveland decide upon more
peremptory action, there is every rea-
son to anticipate war, which may
prove much more troublesome than the (
Washington politicians expect"

PARIS. March 2.-Considerable at
tention is attracted to the Cuban sit
uation. which for the present has the
lead in political editorial comment and
as a subject for discussion in the
clubs and other places where military
and politicians gather daily.
The Figaro, commenting on the ac-
ton Of the United States senate saws
that while the senate's vote. resulting
from the violent attitude of General
Weyler, can hardly be excused. the
recall of Marshal Martinez de CamDos
was double error, externally and in
ternally, inasmuch as the coming cleo

rnrInr.s MESSAGE.

WASHINGTON, March 2-From the
terms of Minister Taylor's message, it
would seem that either himself or
United States Consul Bowen at Bar
celona had previously cabled a BRET
statement of the attack upon the con-
sulate, but, gif SO. the message could
not be obtained here for publication
However that may be, it is certain
that the Spanish minister here, Senior
de LONE was early informed of the
trouble at home and lost no time yes
terday in communicating to Secretary
Olney the facts with an assurance that
his government could be relied upon
to do everything that the proprletles5
required to atone for the insult offered
to our consulate. Of course, President
Cleveland was at once advised of the
state of affairs In Spain, and later in
the evening Secretary Olney com
the facts to a few members
of the cabinet at his own house where
they had gathered for dinner.

CHICAGO. March 1.-The Patriots
Bulletin, the organ of the Patriots of
America, the order of which w H.
Harvey COIN is the temporary head,
announces today the consolidation of
the Silver Knights of America with
the Patriots of America. The Silver
Knights is the organization of which
United States Senator Stewart has
been the recognized leader. The for
malitieS of the consolidation were car
ried out by Colonel o. c. Sabin who
has been supreme secretary of the Sill
YER Knights. The Bulletin publishes
fac smile Of a telegram from Senator
Stewart at Washington to Mr. Harvey
as follows:
al confirm Colonel Sabin's action and
congratulate the Patriots of America
upon its noble mission: its cause is
the cause of humanity and it will find
Judgment in the hearts of the Ameri-
can people"

NEW YORK, March "A special
from Washington, D. c., says:
The Spanish American situation,
growing out of the reports of the riots
in Barcelona, was regarded so seriously
by the president that he convened a
special meeting of the cabinet last
night. though the call was issued under
the guise of dinner at Secretary Oh
ney's. The conference lasted until af-
ter 10 o'clock. During the dinner Sec
rotary Olney produced some import
ant information which had come to
him by cable.
Just before the adjournment cable
was received to the effect that the
Spanish minister of foreign affairs in
Madrid had been instructed by his
government to insist that the United
States government disavow the action
of the senate as a condition precedent
to the continuance of friendly rela-
tons between the two nations. This
demand for a disclaimer of the senate
bill will be ignored.
Another communication created a
profound surprise. 1t was a message
from the Spanish minister of foreign
affairs at Madrid. insisting that the
United States government disavow the
action of the senate as q condition
precedent to continued friendly rela-
lions between the two governments
The only result Of the conference was
a practical agreement that the secre-
tary of state should promptly respond
in kindly terms to the communica-
ton of Minister De LONE and thank
the government for its readiness to
protect Americans and American in
tereSts in Spain
The secretary Of the navy, purely as
q measure of precaution, Will bring an
efficient fleet of war vessels near
enough to mass them promptly at any
point that may be threatened.

We Are Responsible.

WASHINGTON, March 2-Senor de
LONE. the Spanish minister in the
course of an. interview here today
said; "The rebellion in Cuba would
never have been serious matter at
all had it not been for the interference
of the United States 1t never would
have passed the limits of mere riot
had it not been for the money, sup
plies, arms and men that were sent
from this country. Men have gone
from this country with the assurance
that the United States would grant
belligerent rights to the Cubans and
in all probability send a fleet to Cuban
waters to support the insurgents. AT
no time have the authorities in this
country given the situation in Cuba a
fair investigation to ascertain what
facts actually are. It has been said
that all Cubans are interested in the
rebellion, but the truth of the matter
is that there are seven Cuban generals
and several hundred Cuban officers
fighting in the Spanish army in Cuba.
In fact, 1 am sure there are more
Cuban officers in the Spanish army
than there are white leaders among
the Insurgents

els we will declare war. II Spain de-
clares war against the United States
1t will not be solely on account of hav-
ing recognized the belligerency of the
rebels, but also because we have a
considerable number of grievances
against her. The United States could
not have borne herself toward Spain in
a mora despicable manner. The Mora
Indemnity. the Alliance imbroglio, the
display Of rebel flags IN the streets OF
New York, the refuge which the rebels
enjoy IN Key West and in Florida, the
privilege of making au manner of
demonstrations of disaffection toward
Spain, the departure of the United
State flibustering expeditions and
worse. the American syndicate formed
to furnish money to the rebels, con-
stitute a series OF offenseS against
Spain. none of which has been aveng-
ed solely because the Washington gov
eminent has pretended that the lnsur-
gents did not enjoy official favor.
Annexation is the aim of the Amer
leans. and if their disreputable con-
duct causes war, still we must laugh
at the futility of the hopes of these
thieYing Yankees"
