TO AVOID DUTIES.

English Exporters fastening Shipments to
Avoid Dingley tariff Provisions.
LONDON, March rs. The announce
ment that the new United States tariff
will not be retroactive has resulted in
the inevitable rush Of exports to Amer.
lea and for the moment every industry
is pushing work. Ship owners are find
ing difficulty in handling the
business offered. Their regular ships
have been filled with cargoes
long in advance Of the dates OF sailing.
The Pail Mall Gazette observes that III
is singular that the American specula'
tors who are engineering the heavy
buying have forgotten the lesson Of

It anticipates even worse demoraliza

GREAT BRITAIN WITHDRAWS.

Turkeys Boastful Attitude Regarding
Christian Massacres Changes the Situa-
tion Mt Crete.
CoNsTANrINopLE, March a6.-As re-
suit of the massacre of 100 Christians
in church at Tokat, Armenia, Sunday
by Turks, and the fact that the
Turkish government has sent out notes
to the provincial officials declaring
that the powers were supporting the
sultan in his repressive measures
against Christians, thereby almost en-
couraging further massacres in Ar
menia and elsewhere, Great Brit
ain has withdrawn from the
blockade Of Crete, and the admiral
in command of the Mediterranean fleet
has been ordered not to send any Brit
ish warships to participate in the pro-
posed blockade of Greece. France Is
expected to take similar action, and
the much boosted harmony Of the
powers is, 1t is acknowledged, In im-
minent peril. II is stated further that
Great Britain has intimated that II
Greece be blockaded similar action
should be taken in regard to Turkey.

the United States. The insur-
gent army grows in strength,
while the enormous importations
of royal troops dissolve through dis
ease. The royal troops are disheart-
ened. They are poorly provisioned
and in arrears in pay. Their officers
lead them not to battle. The climate
is deadly. Spains cause in Cuba is
hopeless from the military standpoint.
Nothing has been accomplished, though
great the sacrifice of men and money,
and nothing can be accomplished. The
insurgent tactics are to avoid battle.
They trust simply to time. This has
been Gomez's policy from the first, and
he pursues it still. It's winning. The
second winter of the revolution has
passed. In few weeks the hot and
rainy season will come on, and that
will mark the end OF Spain's efforts.
There is in Washington confirmation
Of the report that Spain, bankrupt in
money and at the end Of hope, has de-
cided not to send more troops to Cuba.
1t is also true that in the coming two
months large numbers of wounded, Ill
and ineffective troops from Spain will
be returned to the peninsula. While
there is no confirmation of the report
that some of the effective troops in
Cuba will be sent to the Philippines, 1t
is believed to be true. Itdoes not mat
ter whether Spain withdraws men from
Cuba or increases her forces there.
The result will be the same.

THE CUBAN WAR.
Spain Has Practically Abandoned
the Effort to Crush the Revolt.
WEYLER'S CAMPAIGN A FAILURE.
The Spanish Government May Soon Initiate
Negotiations with the United States
Looking tOa Settlement OF
the Trouble.

WASHINGTON, March 96.-Itis an open
secret in diplomatic circles that Spain
has practically abandoned the effort to
crush the Cuban insurrectionists The
tottering monarchy is at the end of its
string and Cuban independence is in
sight. Forces stronger than the wan
ing political and military power OF
that decaying empire have compelled
Spanish statesmen to choose which they
will save-Cuba or the Philippines-and
the decision is in favor Of the latter.
The war in Cuba has now reached the
negotiation stage. The question OF
the future is as to whether the people
of the island will buy their independ-
ence or win it by the sword. They
may easily do either. Information
warranting these statements has been
received here within the past few days.
1t is well understood in the higher
diplomatic circles that the end in Cuba
is near. Within short time the Span
ish government will initiate negotia-
tions with the United States looking
to settlement of the Cuban trouble.
First upon the programme is COM
plete autonomous government upon
the Canadian model, Spain merely re-
tanning the. titular sovereignty, but
actually giving local self-government
to the people Of the island, and with the
United States pledging payment OF the
war debt. This will be SPANS first
proposal, but it will be rejected. The
insurgents will have none of it, and
unless the signs of the times are at
fault President Mckinley will give it
no countenance. After that will come
the real question-upon what terms
the Cubans will treat for their indie
pendence. This is financial problem
1t hinges wholly upon the debt SPAN
is now virtually bankrupt, and the
best her statesmen hope to do in losing
Cuba is to rehabilitate the nationa
credit so that the Philippines may bt
saved.
1t is no secret here that Gen. Wey
ler's campaign in the provinces to TIT
east of Havana has been failure. /
is as much of fiasco as was his pacifi
cation of Pinar del Rio, Havana ant
Matanzas provinces, in every one o
which the insurgents are still provok
ingly active. He marched out at TIL
head Of great army two months ago
and he has not had battle. He ha-
accomplished literally nothing. Thi

chieftains forces, and there is littl
chance of his doing so. There is not
province in Cuba in which the revolt
tionists are not strong in the field
fbey still control two-thirls OF tn
island. This is the military situatio
