JAP4N-AMERICAN ALLIANCE.
NJ. Guerville States That Such Relation
ship Exists.

London, Jan. 21,-A dispatch to the
Central News from Madrid says that
NJ. Guerville, who accompanied the ia
panese staff officers during the late
Chinese-Japanese war, delivered lee
ture tonight before the Madrid Geo
graphical society. In the course of his
lecture he dwelt upon Japan's growing
power and the change which had oc-
CURED in her position among the ma
tions of the world, laying particular
stress upon her political relations with
other powers.
He asserted that Japan and the Unit
ed States had agreed to conclude an
alliance-a fact, he declared, which JUS
titled the uneasiness felt regarding ia
pans attitude in the Philippines, where
she had initiated hostility to Spain, her
aspiration being to possess the islands.
M. Guerville gave no authority for
his assertion regarding an alliance be-
tween the United States and Japan,
and outside of those who are incensed
against the United States for her at
titude ON the Cuban question no reli-
ance whatever is placed in his state
ment.

RETAIL MERCHANTS MEET.
Annual Meeting of the Association Held
Last Evening.


The annual meeting of the New Ha-
ven Retail Merchants association was
held last evening in the Builders Elk
change room on Orange street. The
meeting was well attended and sew
eral important matters were discussed.
The proposed legislation to prevent itin-
Grant merchants from competing with
established firms which pay taxes was
discussed at length. The bill which
has been drafted by e. B. eager of
Derby was favorably considered by the
meeting and will probably be presented
to the legislature
The following resolution was present
ed by Walter Leigh and adopted by the
meeting:
Believing that the contract system
for convict labor in our jails, reforma-
| tories and states prison is positive
injury to the welfare of the honest, in
telligent, Industrious and law abiding
citizens Of both sexes, most of whom
are voters and taxpayers; also believ-
ing the present system of employing
convict labor is of no real benefit to
the merchants of the state or the COM
monweaIth itself; that the contractors
are the only real gamers in this unjust,
un-American competition between en-
forced convict labor and free, manhood
labor; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the New Haven Re-
tail Merchants association assembled
at it's regular annual meeting con-
demns the present system of employ
ing the convict labor of the state and
most respectfully asks the legislature
of Connecticut to abolish said system
and substitute therefore a more salu-
tary and corrective employment for
the criminals In the jails, reformatories
and prisons of our state.
| Resolved, That copy Of these reso-
buttons be placed in the hands of the
state senator from this district and the
representatives from our city to the
general assembly and that they be
urged to do all in their power to carry
forward the spirit Of this resolution.
1 In the discussion Of the itinerant ner-
chant matter 1t was proposed that some
building or locality be set aside for the
use of farmers who desire to retail their
produce in the city.
| Reports were submitted by the sec
retary of the association, Joseph c..
johnson, and the treasurer, Stephen A..
| Howe. The secretary's report showed
that thirty-eight new members had
been added to the associat ton during
the past year, making the present
membership $50.
| The following officers Of the associa-
tion for the ensuing year were elected:
President, E. l. Atwater; first vice
president, Samuel H. Kirby; second
vice president, Charles E. Hart; treas
urer, Stephen c. Johnson.
The following gentlemen were elected
members of the board Of directors: f.
E. Hum, G. D. Post, r. B. De Busy,
Willis L. Mix, Harry Leigh, E. Moses,
J. B. Judson, j. e. Bassett, H. F. Stew
ems. Samuel Goodman G. w. Tazel, v.
f. Mcneil, Theodore Gruener, A. b.
Greenwood, F. e. Brooks.
The question of holding a banquet
was brought up and it was voted to
hold banquet. 1t will probably be
held at the New Haven house, but COM
plete arrangements will be made by the
| board of directors.

INDEPENDENCE or NOTHING.
Cnbans VIII Lay Down Their Arms on no
Other Condition,

New York, Jan. 21.-General II. Es-
trada Palma, of the Cuban junta in
this city. to-day gave out a statement
In which he, in part, says:
Reforms were passed by the Span
lsh cortes, but the outbreak of this
revolution was not thereby stayed one
hour There was and is but one idea
Tor which the Cubans are fighting. We
have had enough of so-called reforms,
enough of promises of more reforms,
enough of promised autonomy.
Every intelligent man would right
ly condemn the leaders of and partici-
pants in this movement if anything
short of independence be the basis of a
treaty of peace with Spain 1t is claim
ed General Gomez is willing to treat
with Spain on the basis of autonomy
and that a letter to that effect has
been received by me. There is no such
letter. General Gomez is made of too
stern material to surrender to any
such terms, particularly when in his
latest letters to me, he writes content
edly of his resources and glowingly of
his conviction that his winters cam
paign will be most successful. But even
though any one of the foremost leaders
should be inclined to terminate the
war by the acceptance of autonomy
while he himself might surrender he
himself would do so alone The death
of Maceo struck sorrow to the heart of
every Cuban, but his forces did not
surrender, the revolution received no
perceptible check
THE leader who proposed peace un-
der the Spanish flag would find himself
without followers. 1t is beyond the
bounds of possibility to expect that the
Cubans after two years of sanguinary
strife, when they find themselves in a
position such as has never been their
good fortune to occupy in point of
numbers equipment and resources, will
now weakly accept terms of compro-
mise
THE apparent generous and concil-
iatory spirit of Spain springs not from
her strength, but from her weakness.
What form of autonomy would help
Cuba when saddled not only with her
previous debt, but with the added bur-
den of the cost of the present war The
future of the country would be ruin
and starvation.
1--WE Cubans will continue to fight
for independence and nothing but inde-
pendence, first last and all the time
Gomez himself has written that
even should he fall the revolution is
strong enough to continue to it's tri-
umph.
'The only excuse we will have for
having begun the war will be it's tri-
umph; the only fitting monument for
our fallen comrades the independence
of their country"
