manifest by the announcement that the
Supervisors will hold special meeting

Commander Booth Tucker of the Sal
walton Army has issued the following
statement in reference to the attitude
of the Salvation Army regarding Mrs.
Booths illness:
"Whilo vealjzing that this is not the
moment to enter into any argument,
controversy or defense, yet, in case our
position should be misunderstood and
in view of the statements made by the
press, | am constrained in behalf of
our people all over the world, to say
that there is but one feeling in our
hearts regarding the illness of Mrs.
Booth and the consequent sorrow and
anxiety through which Commander
Ballington Booth is passing. That feel
ing is love which would find expression
in unceasing prayer.
Consul Mrs. Booth Tucker has been
in constant communication both with
the hospital and with Commander Bal
hngton Booth, expressing her sympa.
thy and proffering any assistance
within her power, while General Booth
has cabled from London the assurances
of his prayers.

Better Feeling Owing TO American Con-

MADRID, Dec. 24.-The manner in
which the American press has con-
demned the execution of Lieutenant
Colonel Ruiz has awakened in Spain
sentiments Of sympathy tending favor
ably to modify the relations between
the two countries.
The ministers and statesmen consider
the moment propitious for arriving at
an accord with Spain and the United
States which would speedily put an end
to the war III Cuba. They hope that
the Washington government will 10y
ally adhere to the promise of President
Mckinley's message, making it under
stood as did General Grant, that only
censure and the vigorous application of
law must be expected by those conspir-
ing on American territory against a
friendly nation.
They consider that the Cuban recep-
ton of the autonomy scheme and the
concessions made by Senior Palma i'm,
pose an imperative duty to do every
thing possible to prevent bloodshed ano

ITALY'S HANDS TIED.
Declines England's Offer to
Seize Chinese Territory.
THE UNITED STATES FEARED.
German Newspapers Fear This Country
VIII Side With Engtand-Japan and
Russia Said to Have Spies In Each
Others Armies.

LONDON, Dec. PA dispatch to The
Daily Chronicle from Rome says it is
rumored there that owing to her obi
CATION to Germany Italy has declined
England's proposal for common action
In the far east, including a joint occu-
patton Of Chausan.
According TO the same dispatch it is
asserted that England has proposed to
Russia conference on the Chinese
question with a view of avoiding dam
gerous rivalries.
The Shanghai correspondent of The
Daily Mail says:
'.fhe Chinese government is helpless.
It is mobilizing few troops under the
least incapable generals who conducted
the campaign against Japan. The
British feet is at present at sea.
The Daily Chronicle says it has good
reason to believe that the government
has &c lded upon a watching policy,
and will refrain from occupying any
Chinese territory for the present, but 1t
will give its moral support to Japan
and distinct warnings TO China con-
corning England's action in certain
contingencies.
1t is understood, says The Daily
Chronicle, that Japan will protest in
the strongest manner against Ger
many's action, and diplomatic circles
ridicule the idea of Russo-German
entente concerning China.
The Berlin press is evidently deeply
interested as to the attitude Great
Britain and the United States are likely
to adopt in the Chinese affair. Every
attempt is being made to create i'll feel
ing against England and to represent
her as isolated.
The official newspapers pretend that
Japan has acquiesced III the German
and Russian moves and will take no
aggressive action Everything indi-
Gates the anxiety that hinges upon the
ultimate grouping of the powers.
Japan's action IN withdrawing her pro-
test with reference to the course of the
United States at Hawaii in interpreted
as showing a desire 20 be unlncum-
bered abroad and to have her hands
free to deal with the Chinese question.
The Berliner Tageblatt ridicules the
idea of an Anglo Japanese American
alliance, yet seems to fear it, The Kol-
nische eitung thinks America will
side with Russia.
Berlin, Dec. 24.-The National lei
tung says:
at is easy to believe that England
would welcome active steps on the part
of the United States, but hard to be-
heve that the United States would
adopt such policy of friendship to-
ward England and of hostility toward
Russia, contrary to all its traditions, for
the sake of either England or China"
san FRANCISCO, Dec. 24-Advices
received from the Orient by the steamer
China, say that Chinese papers report
that the Japanese army is full OF Rus
sian spies, disguised as Japanese, and
that the Russian army is being tam
pered with by Japan emissaries, who
are doing all they can to stir up dis
affection among them, owing to the
rivalry over Korea.
