DIPLOMATS IN A BUZZ
Continued from First Page.)

Paris, comes of a distinguished French
family. one Of the Cambons having been
Minister of Finance following the revOl-
utou.
The relations between the United
States and Spain have become the main
subject of comment among diplomatic
officials, some of whom are commitment
ing with their home governments as 70
the status of affairs. The cable reports
from various European capitals that our
ministers abroad have learned that Aus
tria was favorable to an alliance with
Spain and that Germany and France
were considering what action European
nowers should take in the event of Am
erican intervention. has given the Gu
han question q new and broad Signifi-
cnnce to foreign representatives here. At
least one of the embass:e has been di-
rerted to keep its Foreign office fully
advised of all developments and this. it
is believed applies to all the Leading
foreign establishments. There is gen
eral desire to get the exact text of Min
ister Woodford's instructions. As to
these, the State Department maintains
the same reticence to diplomatic off
Gals that ii does to the general public.
The presence of the Spanish minister
mas permitted dH eXCDHISP OF courtesy
and confidence. The general conclusion
among diplomats. and the one which they
are conveying to their governments is
that the Woodford instructions do not
emhody an "ultimatum" At the same
time these officials take the view that
the Tinted States has taken an advanced
position. although not one involving any
present critical Issue.

rlomat from one Of the countries form

A CRAFTY

TT NAV be that the stock book and the
files of the Tribune are irrelevant W

II may be technically legal for the
courts to exclude the mass of evidence
that has been proposed tending TO show

ern Railway. These are questions lor
the lawyers to settle. But enough mas

fact that Littlefield was not the only

AS this has not been the first time IN
North Carolina newspapers have peeh

journalism, the people can see through
the thin DISCUSSES, no matter what Writ
