Dispatches from Madrid inform us that
the beautiful and accomplished Weyler is
making things hot and miserable c1r
sagasta and the Queen Regent. 1t is
stated that, as soon as the full text OF
President McKinley's message reaches
Spain, Weyier Will draw up a protest in
the form OF an address, calling upon the
sovereign and I'll, government violently to
resent the insults contained in the dOcu
ment against himself and the Spanish
army in Cuba. He is working industriously
to crecte dissensions in the army at home
and hobnob bling daily with the delegate os
Don Carlos, it is alleged, with view to
scare the Cleen and Premier into da ancing
to his music The consequences Of his
activity and conspiracies are very mach
feared by the more conservative SpaniartlS,
who see the strong probability that Weyler
may dive the government into some af-
front to America that even the pla cicii:y
OF Mr.. Mckinley and his alleged control
over the House of Represen' ativeG might
not be proof against. Naturally it would
have to be something vilely at,ocious TO

TIT RsDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1897
Notes of the Day.

In the current rush for the division OF
the Chinese Empire among the govern
ments oil Europe there is noticeable
absence o: thought as to what the Celes-
tials may think about it. There is much
virtuous Indignation in England, because
Russia and Germany are careless of the
integrity Of Chinese territory; but nothing
is said about the fact that both have
learned the art and science OF real estate
piracy and Oriental conquest from the
pious British. Judging from our London
press dispi tches, there is n remarkable
return OF. pumptiousness observable in
British opinion just now. Britannia rules
the wave" acairfis the cry, and the jinsoss
are making themselves felt. No idea is
more firmly inbedded in the thick heads
Of the English populace than that Their
country can whip the combined fleets Of
all Europe. II is evident that a Iopi liar
pressure is imminent to make the Sails
bury government try il on. There is not
much doubt that England, especially in
alliance with japan, could beat the
other nayies in tie Far East; but even IN
easy victory in that direction might prove
an expensive thing. Tie Indian frontier
is open to attack by Russia Abdul iiamid
still has a huge military force under arms,
and would declare a ''holy war" in 4 soly
minute, If the Gar were to give him the
wink. That would mean Moiiam;n,zlan
revolt in India, and Turkish descent
upon Egypt. Other things would happen,
but those mentioned are enough 20 keep
Lord Salisbury from any very violent pro-
ceedings if it be Possible To avoid them
London papers in the confidence of the
ministry talk bravely about British de-
termination, not to allow China to be carved
up without coming in for some OF the
largest and fattest slices. Whether or
not there is pluck and power left to coir-
pei that, remains to be seen.

he natural for China to look to us in an
emergency like the present, remembering
the great friendship shown by the Cleveland
ADMINISTRATIVE during the war with Japan.

precedent, surrendered three little Jap1a-

The process is said to have lasted three

Administration who had charge of the cere-
monies. Ncv China cannot easily forg It
such an act OF intern ational comfy, which
was not demanded by treaty or custom, and
was sickening and infamous crime a z ainst
civilization and humanity. China, there
