New York, May 25.-Nathan Page. of
Washington. the lawyer who conducted
the Nora claim against Spain, has
just returned from a visit to England,
France and Holland. He was asked
about the consensus of opinion in Paris
and London concerning the war in
Cuba. He said:
In Paris 1 met many highly edu
Gated Spaniards and they do not see
how Spain can retain Cuba. They and
others in Europe think it is only a
question of time when Cuba will go to
the United States. They do not see
any other solution of the problem and
they do not seem TO grieve over the
situation.
Spain is deriving little revenue from
Cuba now. The customs duties col
lected used to amount to 500, 100000 an
nualiy and now they have sunk to
about 500, 600. This does not pay
one-half or one-third of the interest
on the national debt. The national debt
OF Spain outside Of the country
amounts to 81 900 000, 900 and the funded
debt incurred by the last war in Cuba
is $3.50, 600, 000 This question of SPANS
indebtedness, of course is discussed a
great deal in Europe, and the conclu-
sion is that the war cannot be carried
on much longer SPANS credit cannot
hold out. 1t is thought that when
Sagasta becomes prime minister, in
stead of Canovas. he will inaugurate a
different policy and will recognize the
inevitable.

Canovas' Reply.

Madrid, May 24.-In the senate today
in reply to a conservative senator who
asked why the liberals were absent,
Senior Canovas Del Castillo, the pre-
mier said:
In the opinion of the government,
the matter which the liberals plead as
an excuse for their absence from the
senate is an incident of a purely per-
sonal character, which has already
been arranged. The government re-
spects the opinion of the liberal minor
ity, but. questions their theory OF the
incident and their demands for the res
ignation of the minister Of foreign af-
fairs, as contrary to the constitution
Of parliament
Formerly 1 governed. in the absence
of a minority, but under the present
circumstances the responsibility be-
longs to all parties II is impossible to
face the negotiations now on foot with
out serious detriment. if we change the
foreign ministry
The Marquis of Peralcs, on behalf of
the dissident conserva tives. said I'M
der the circumstances they felt COM
PEELED to absent themselves until the
liberals had received satisfaction.
In the chamber of deputies the pre-
mier repeated the statement he had
made in the senate adding that he re-
GREETED the absence of the liberals, be-
cause it prevented Senior Sagasta from
defending himself against certain ac-
cusations arising out of an erroneous
Interpretation of one of his speeches.
Senior Canovas referred to the bad inn
preston which had been produced in
this way at Washington. where, he
said, it seemed TO be supposed that the
sale of Cuba was a possible thing.
Spain said Senior Canovas, lis not
a nation Of merchants. capabl Of sell
ing its honor" N
"Senor Francisco Silvela, leader of
the dissident conservatives in the
chamber who quarreled with Senior
Canovas in 1891 over the eXpediency of
reform for the municipal abuses in
Madrid. accused the Duke of Tetuan Of
a grave error which could not be
righted by few eloquent words. He
said the foreign minister ought to ex-
plate his offense by resigning. In the
course of his speech he described the
action of the United States senate in |
recognizing the belligerency of Cuba !
as q great ''iniquity,' and characterized
the diplomacy of the government as al
together blameworthy, adding an ex- |
preston of his doubt as to the intelli- |
gence of Senior Canovas in retaining the |
Duke of Tetuan under the circum-
stances.

eral Manager Dickinson of the Union
Pacific. accompanied by a number of
other officials. returned from the east

Looks Less Peaceful.

London, May 25.-The aspect Of
eastern affairs is less peaceful. Tur-
key is sending more troops to ThessaIy
and it is said the sultan has promised
his ministers not 10 relax his hold upon
that province
The note of the powers certainly does
not yield on a single point, and states
even that the peace conference must
be held at Constantinople and not at
Pharsalos. but the sincerity of both
Germany and Russia is doubted, and
any sign of dissension among the pow
ers makes more obstinacy on the part
of the sl1Itan
