south of the African provinces recently

Russian diplomacy means more than

whole transaction has been managed so
cleverly that Lord Salisbury cannot
even enter a protest without making
himself ridiculous.
Several weeks ago the cable an

They admit that thousands of Cubans
men, women and children-are being
actually starved to death; that small
pox and yellow fever are decimating
the peaceful portion Of the islands
population, and that Cuban patriots
and caplives from the insurgent army
are being killed by the score, after
having been put through a course of
indescribable fortunes. Senior Canovas,
head of the Madrid government, has
not failed to take cognizance of this
change Of sentiment, ard it is stated,
on positive authority, that Gen. Wey-
Ter will be recalled as soon as a general
of high standing can be found who
is willing to assume the responsibility
Of leading the Spanish army in Cuba.
Gen. Ramon Blanco, marquis of Pena
Plata, has been mentioned again as
Weyler's successor, but he seems re-
luctant about accepting the Office, al.
though urged by Gen. Martinez Cam
pos and other eminent Spanish soldiers
and statesmen. Gen. Blanco is not a
member of the conservative party now
in power, but his administration of
Cuban affairs several years ago was
characterized by so much true hu-
n4anity that his advent at Havana would
be greeted with delight by friend and
foe. Weyler's complete failure is now
acknowledged in Madrid as well as in
Cuba, and for the sake of national
honor, to say nothing Of military sue
cess, he must leave the island without
much further delay.

Italian troops at Adowa, he went upon

From an American view point the
most interesting event in internatioh-
81 politics is the pronounced change in
English public opinion concerning the
Cuban struggle for freedom. Hither-
to the London journals have taken the
part Of Spain and defended the cruelty
and inhuman policy OF Capt. Gen.
Weyler. but low the Chronicle and
other metropolitan newspapers have
begun to criticise the bloody Spanish
attempts to repress the revolution.

ume could not give a better insight into
the character of the man who seems
destined to play a giants part in the at
fairs of Europe. he is now 6s years OF
age, fearless, a master of s~tatecraft
and personally honest to a remarkable
degree. His ambition is boundless,
and exceeded only by his jealousy OF
those placed above him. lie is deter
mined to succeed Prince Hohenlohe as
chancellor and to pose before the world
as the first commoner who ever stood
at the head of a virtually absolute gov
eminent. 70 reach the coveted end he
has sacrificed old friends. changed his
opinions, prosecuted the men who
stand for what little there is left OF
liberty in Germany; but, strangest
thing of all. has remained scrupulously
honest as far as money matters are con-
cerned. Take him all in all, he is a man
whose like has not been in public life
for many decades.
The opponents of speculative trading
in grain and stocks are learning an ex-
p~ensive lesson just now. On January
/ the German anti-option law, which
prohibits deals in the futures Of agri-
cultural products and stocks, went into
force. 1t had the effect of abolishing
every bourse and grain exchange in the
empire. Instead of having proved a
benefit to the farmers, the new regula-
ton has depressed the price Of wheat
from three to four cents a bushel. At
the same time there has been a steady
rise in other markets of the continent.
Local dealers make a market price
from day to day, and the producer, who
no longer can get reliable quotations
from the trade centers, is compelled to
take what may be offered to him. The
government has received such a vast
number of protests from all parts of
the empire that it is attempting to ar
range a compromise between the
a~grarians Eat whose head stands Count
Won Kanitz, author of the anti-option
billy and the bourses. It proposes that
open trading should be restored under
certain restrictions, and that the
agrarian element should be represent
ed in the directories of the bourses.
OF course this proposition was declined
by the exchanges, and a still greater
drop in the price Of wheat followed.
The German farmers are beginning to
understand that open trading, in spite
of some drawbacks, stimulates compe-
tition and causes an increased demand
for grain. Moreover, exchange prices
are public property and local dealers
are unable to manufacture quotations
for their own profit.
