A Formal Warning to Uncle Sam Ite~
garding FilibusterIng.
Madrid, Oct. 22.-Senor De LONE, the
Spanish minister at Washington, has
been instructed to notify the American
government that henceforth filibuster-
ing expeditions will be regarded as
breaches of international law. Such,
al any rate is the substance of his in
structions, though i is just possible
that the form In which they will be
carried into effect may modify their
import. '+- r.
A very bad impression has been made
here by the news from Havana that a
majority Of the important Industrial.
commercial, mining. railway and steam
ship enterprises in Cuba are being rap
idly converted into foreign companies,
chiefly American and English. 1t is
feared that this may enable the COM
panies to claim damages from Spain
for losses during the war. Perhaps
further reason why they are seeking
English and American protection is
that Cuban capital fears the tyranny,
disorder and throat cutting which will
follow Immediately on the proclama-
ton of Cuban independence when the
time comes for 1t.
