A reasonable share of senor Dupuy de
Lorae's 5000 a month seems to have
found It's way to New York. The evi-
derce subjoined Is from the New York
Evening Post:
The difficulty of approaching Spain is
not that OF adopting COnciiiatoTy tone,
but that OF making any tone, on such a
subject, not offensive instantly. Spain
has never yet recognized our right TO de-
mand or her, In respect TO CUBA. anything
more than any other nation might demand
that is, protection TO our citizens resi-
dent there IN accordance with the terms
of existing treaties, and the payment of
damages in case protection fails. That
she VIII now acknOw ledge any right on
our part, however suayely urged, TO have
voice in her Cuban policy. Is highly inn
probable. Spanish statesmen must see
that it is the first step that costs, and
thatn they admit our right to demonstrate,
they virtually admit our right to interfere
Cuba.
1t Is remarkable that an American news
paper can be found which freely or for
nire viii defend the s panish cause in Cuba.
The Evening Post, however, does not hes
itate to assert that as matters stand we
have no more right to interfere in Cuba
than Spain would have in Alaska. Spain
has no interests in Rering Sea, bat if she
Gould demonstrate that the American Gov
crnment treated the Alaska seals with
half the cruelty she has visited upon her
human vassals in Cuba she and every
other country on the globe, England alone
excepted, would be justified in interyen-
ing. England is barred because her meth
ods with seals and the Spanish treatment
of human beings are precisely alike.

The departure of Secretary Bliss for
New York has revived the gossip about
himself in connection with the ma yoralty
OF Greater New York. While it may be
true that the Secretary VIII resist the i'm
portunlties of MIR. PIatt and hold out to
the end against accepting the nomination,
there is little doubt but that he went to
New Yorl;for the purpose of having another
conference with the Senator. If MI.
Bliss win not accept the nomination, Mr..
Platt VIII see that some one is put on the
ticket who is acceptable to the dminis-
tration, and tie visit of Mr.. Bliss to New
York is to confer with Mr.. Platt about
the man. The Administration is working
in harmony with Mir. Platt, and Mr.. Bliss
is the nnouthpiece OF the President on the
subject. hIr. PIatt is confident OF the posi-
ton lie assumes, and there is good reason
10 believe that when the right moment

Two well-known Kentucky politicians
who have been here several days in search
of an office, are supposed by their con-
stitUents TO be stopping in fine style at
the Ebhitt House. They are not doing
anything of the kind. Occasionally these
two gentlemen register at the Ebbitt and
take dinner, Just frequently enough to
have their names stand on the register
They have a room on E street and patron
ize the restaurants. They are to be found
about the lobby of the Ebbitt during the
afternoons, aud in the evenings, and their
adnirug friends at home, receiving their
letters on the Ebbitt stationery, suppose
the Ebhitt is their residence In this city.
b. this harmless little ruse the bank ac-
oount ot both these politicians is pro-
teeted and their chances for getting an
office are not injured thereby.
