La Marina Tells Why the United States
Will Not Recognize Cubans.

Havana, January 31.-Diario de la
M ina, in an article on the suggestion
of the United States Interference in be-
half of the insurgents. says: "The hopes
Of the separatists will be once more
defeated, because the kilograms received
from Madrid say conference between
the United States minister to Spain and
tho Spanish cabinet has been most sat
isfaotory. 1t is hoped SO, because the
insurgents cannot pretend to have the
rights reserved to the causeBof justice, or
at least to the cause of dignity and
honor. The rebels are only. lot of
criminals who burn, steal and rob and
murder. What do the negroes oompris-
Ing the band under Maceo and rasoals
commanded by robbers like Mirabel and
Delgado understand about patriotism
and political ideas? If the United States
were to recognize such people as bel
ligere nts, the crime would be legitimized,
and the right to burn, violate and steal
recognized: 1t is absurd to think the
United States would encourage such
ATROCITIES, should such a thing happen
the United States would have more to
iose than Spain would, because the latter
mas decided to resort to everything before
ailow'ng barbarism to reign in Cuba. -

LACKS THE POWER

Realm.
THAT'S WHY ENGLAND DOESN'T
INTERFERE,

Salisbury Excuses His Armenian Attitude
"A Significant Speech In Reply to
Morley's Criticisms--A Few Remarks
on the Monroe Doctrine.
London, January, 3i.-Prime Minister
Salisbury delivered speech here tonight,
IN the course of which he rebutted the
statements made Thursday night by
John Morley to the electors at Arboth,
concerning the Monroe dooJrine. Mr..
Morley said that Lord Salisbury had
blunderingly seemed to question the
Monroe doctrine, and if there ever was
a question that should be arbitrated, it
was the Venezuelan boundary question
Lord Salisbury said tonight that al
though the doctrine formed no part of
international law, his despatch 10 Secre-
tary of State Olney supported it as a rule
OF police, strongly and distinctly as pos
sible. but in the form whichsPresident
Monroe himself understood it.
The prime minister expressed sympathy
with the Armenians and denied that
Great Britain was under obligation to
declare war against the Sultan of Tur-
key, to compel him to govern justly,
ahd cited treaties in proof of his conten-
| tion.
| He ascribed the atrocities to passion of
race and creed. He believed the Sultan's
government was wretched and impotent,
but there was no ground for imagin ing
that the Sultan instigated the m assacres.
1t might be asked why Europe did not
| interfere. He could only answer for
| England. She lacked the power to do
the only thing necessary TO end the
troubles, namely, to militarily occupy
the Turkish provinces. None of the
powers w isbed SO to occupy them. Lord
Salisbury said he concurred in the belief
that the only authority, albeit it was
an evil one, in that country, was the
prestige of the Sultan's name. Patience
must be exercised and his majesty must
be given time to enforce the reforms he
promised.
| He remarked upon the gradual return
of order in Atolia during the last few
weeks, although he admitted the signs
could not be trusted too much. He con-
oluded by declaring if Great Britain did
not cooperate with other powers she
must act again st them hich would lead
to calamities far morer awful than the
| Armenian massaores.

There is reason to believe that a re-
quest made in the Armenian resolutions,
adopted by the Senate and House. that
a copy of those resolutions he trans
mitted to the six treaty powers of Eu-
rope doesn't meet with the favor of rhead-
ministartion. The resolutions declare
that, sit is the imperative duty in the
interest of humanity to express the earn
est hope that European concert may
speedily be given it's just effects in such
decisive measures as shall stay the hand
of fanaticism and lawlessFyioience z" The
President and Secretary OF State have OBJ
tained the views of several prominent
persons on the propriety of transmitting
such request, and it is said as result
that they are impressed with the belief
that the government of the United States
will have exceeded it's International funo-
tions, should the suggestion of the Senate
and House be acceded to. The question
came up at a cabient meeting today. and
it is understood that the President and
his advisers do not see the way clear to
comply with the wishes of Congress in
the mannerin which action is asked

home and distracted therefrom four
handsome gold watches.
Mr.. Ball Immediately began an inVesti-
cation Of the case, but there was abso-
lutely no clue obtainable pointing to the
identity of the guilty one. Next morning,
while the good wife of the owner OF the
stolen property was engaged in changing
the wearing apparel of the 7yearoid son
and heir of the household her attention
was attracted to something heavy in the
garments. Upon investigation, her sur
prise may be better imagined than de-
scribed when she hauled from the pock-
cts the missing watches. The relief of all
at regaining the valuables was of course,
very great, but the little tot who had ap-
propriated them to himself thought it
quite a hardship to be thus unceremon-
iously relieved of his pretty play things.
