WILL SHARE GREECE,S FATE
Result Predicted if United States Should Go
to War With Spain.
Spanish Newspapers Draw a Parallel
and Possible War With U. s.

A recent dispatch from Havana says: El
Commercio, in a leading article On the
Greco-Turkish war, blames the European
jingoes for not having arranged the matter
diplomatically so as to avert bloodsned.
1t compares King George with Mr.. Cleve-
land and President Mckinley as 'peacea-
bly, disposed personally, but lacking the
power to maintain conservative policy
and to stifle a rattle-headed popular de-
mand." The article continues:
"A more bellicose attitude may possibly
plunge the United States into a horrible
war, in which old Spain, like Turkey, will
surely have the official sympathy and
moral support of the ruling diplomatists
of Europe. Young Greece's defeat and
humiliation should be a warning to Amer
lean jingoes.''
In closing, Ell Commercio says tina.
Premier Canovas is gaining time, and will
be prepared in case war comes, as ne is
building and buying war vessels.
Tine visit of Senior Rabeil, chairman of
the CuDan reformist party to Washington,
and his conference with Senior De Lone,
the Spanish minister, is much commented
upon. A leading afternoon paper, IN the
course of sarcastic editorial, advises him
10 see President Mckinley also before
leaving Washington, and to urge the Pres
tdent to inspire the New York bankers to
petition for Intervention IN Cuba.
Ell Diario de la Marina is bitterly disap-
pointed at the ministerial situation in Ma
drid. and omitted to issue an extra yestcr-
day announcing the confirmation of the
ministerial powers of the premier. This
omission is severely criticised in Spanish
circles.

has been predicting Scnor Sagasta's re-
turn to power.
The Madrid correspondent. of La Lucha,
commenting upon Sagastas reported ds-

sible that some amendments might be
made to the sugar schedule. SO that he
thought 1t would be inexpedient to go on
with it today. 1t was the purpose Of the
committee, however, to have that schedule
considered as early as possible. If any
changes were made they would be proposed
In open Serate and after that sufficient
time would be given gentlemen on the other
side to consider them. If sugar went over
Tuesday the tobacco schedule would be
considered, and If that went over the agri-
cultural schedule would be taken up.
Mr.. Morgan sarcastically suggested that
the Senate take a recess of two days to
give the committee time to frame its bill.
Mr.. Allison replied tfat the committee
had been so engaged on other hearings
that 1t had not had time to take up the
sugar schedule with view to amending it,
Mr.. Morgan remarked that he had not
heard of any democratic members of the
committee being invited to these hearings
Il will say" answered Mr.. Allison, that
many democratic senators have appeared
concerning various schedules and l sup
pose they are interested in the bill"
In response to further inquiries Mr.. AL
lison said that Mr.. Aldrich hoped to be
present during the consideration Of the
that he might be back in the Senate to-
day. He again stated that the sugar
schedule might be modified" in which
case senators on the other side would have
full opportunity to consider the changes.
AS to Mr.. Morgan's intmation of the COM
mittee's incapacity Mr.. Allison said the
committee was ready to proceed today on
any schedule the other side might desire
to take up.
At this point Mr.. Jones of Arkansas said
the minority desired to know positively
whether the sugar schedule would or would
not be taken up Tuesday.
The senator should remember" answer
ed Mr.. Allison, that the sugar schedule
is in order now, and sufficient unto the day
is the evil-or the good thereof"
Il submit that the minority has a right
to know what will be done,' persisted Mr..
Jones.
Then I give notice." concluded Mr.. AL
lison, that the sugar schedule will be
passed over tomorrow and that the tobacco
schedule will be taken up"
In respcr Sc to inquiries by Mr.. Cannon,
Mr.. Allison stated that the committee
would probably return to the sugar
schedule and dispose of it ahead of the
other schedules, as senators desired to have
it out of the way.

ness, sallowness of the complexion fur
upon the tongue, vertigo and those many
indescribable and disagreeable sensations
caused by Indigestion, are too often per-
petuated by injudicious dosing. An i'm
