The secretary of the navy, Admiral Won

that the government was obliged to send
away all its efficient cruisers and even en-

THE AUSTRIAN CRISIS.
Attitude of the Czechs, Germans and
Christian Socialists.


VIENNA, Dec. DIR. Abrahamovics, the
former president of the lower house of the
Austrian Parliament, has written a letter
to the Neue Freie Presse denying that he
resigned the presidency and his seat in the
house on the ground that he has been APP
pointed a member of the upper house of
the Reichsrath. He adds: However will
retire spontaneously as soon as the Ger
mans and Czechs have agreed on the Ian
guage question, and all the questions in
dispute are settled, above all so soon as the
provisional prolongation of the Ausgleich is
assured. Thus my own personality will be
the last obstacle to the chamber being sum-
mOned to dispatch business"
The semi-official Fremdenblatt says the
leaders of the German parties and the Left
lists, at a meeting to-day, decided to send
two deputies, Herr Funke and Count Won
Steurgkh as a deputation to Baron Won
Gautsch Won Frankenthurn, the Austrian
premier, with a negative reply to his pro-
posals for an agreement on the language
and provisional Ausgleieh questions.

sition to provisional prolongation of the

published statements recognizing the minis

ties and the unity of the country are pre-
served The party, at the same time, re-
serves its final decision.

China,s side of the Case.

PEKING, Dec. THE Chinese govern
ment has caused i. to be made known that
up to the time of the German occupation of
Kiaochau bay claim was made by Ger
many for reparation as a result of the muir
der of the two missionaries, Mes and
Hennle, and that there were no other diff
ferences between the two governments.
Consequently, the government of China
points out, the missionary question is re-
garded as a pretext to obtain a naval sta
tion which, it is shown, Germany has long
coveted. The Chinese government, it is said,
in conclusion, will never consent to the
Germans remaining at Kiaochau bay, as
their presence there deprives China of a
harbor which, since the war with Japan,
has been regarded as the most suitable
naval base of operations.

How II WAS Received at Madrid.

MADRID, Dec. 1.-The Cabinet to-day
considered dispatches from Senior De LONE,
Spanish minister at Washington, contain
ing extracts from President McKinley's
message to Congress. The ministers agreed
in considering the message generally favor
able to Spanish interests. It's tone has pro-
duced a good effect in official circles but
it is pointed out that the paragraphs
relating to the alleged rights of the United
States to interfere in the Cuban question
are calculated to displease the Spanish peo-
ple''
The message pleasantly surprised the ma
jority of Spaniards. who hardly expected
that President Mckinley would go so far
in his approval of the new colonial policy
or his recognition of SPANS right to be al
lowed the time necessary to carry out the
same. They are especially satisfied to see
the United States executive state so power
fully the precedents in international law
regarding belligerency and diSclaim any in
tention of interfering with SPANS rights
They are less satisfied with the censure
passed on the previous colonial policy and
has tried to check fiibusters. Spain de-
clines TO admit this contention but, on the
whole, the prevalent impression is that
President McKinleys attitude is more ia
Vorable than was President Grants in the
former Cuban in~arrection. Financial and
political circles welcome the prospect of less
tension between Spain and the United
States, and of truce giving time to test
the new policy.

THIS SETTLES 1T.
Miss Christine Bradley VIII Christen
the Battle Ship Kentucky.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Z. - The difficulty
that has arisen in relation to the christen-
ing Of the battle ship Kentucky has been
settled, as indicated by the following letter:
Hon. John D. Long, Secretary of the
Navy, Washington d. c.:
My Dear Sir-Kentucky, the first born
OF the Union is justly proud of the dis
junction preferred In giving her name to the
magnificent battle ship soon to be launched
at Newport News. 1t may not be inappro-
pirate or vain to say that the valiant record
made by her sons on land and sea entities
her to the compliment. Kindly accept my
sincere thanks for the honor with which
you have clothed the unpretentiouS but ar
dent Kentucky girl, who loves her State
second only to her country. 1t will give
me much pleasure to assist in the ceremo-
possible, to bind the sympathies of every
citizen of Kentucky more closely to the
Nation; l have the honor to be, yours re-
spectfully, CHRISTINE BRADLEY.
washington College, Dec. g.
The action of Miss Bradley in accepting
the honor rendered by Secretary Long set
ties a matter which has been agitating
Kentucky society, especially in Lexington,
for long time. Miss Margaret B. Rich
ardson a noted belle of that city, an
nounced several months ago that she would
be the sponsor for the new ship. She
claimed the privilege because of a promise
made her by Secretary Herbert when that
gentleman was in office. Miss Richardson
met Mr.. Herbert in Washington, and the
secretary was very mucn impressed With
the fair Kentucky girls beauty. He sug-
gested that she be the sponsor of the ship,
and even wrote to her about it, Miss. Rich
ardson then sent to Secretary Herbert a
bottle of very fine y-five-year-old whis-
ky. Mr.. Herbert replied with very pref
ty note, in which he promised to drink the
whisky and to give some of it to President
Cleveland The secretary stated SUISSE
quently that he was testing when ne sug-
gested that Miss Richardson christen the
battle ship This assertion made the young
woman indignant, and she retort-
ed by quoting from his letters
and referred to him as AN old
widower in his dotage" Miss Richard
sons desire was to break bottle of whiss
ky instead of champagne on the Prov OF
the Kentucky All this led to infinite con-
tention when Governor Bradley suggested
that his daughter be sponsor instead OF MISS NJ s
richardson The friends of that young lady
became furious and Governor Bradley has
made no end of enemies for thus interfering
with the anticipations of the very popular
beauty and her set. Miss Bradley VIII not
christen the Kentucky with whisky.

M,KINLEY's MESSAGE.
How 1t Is Viewed by Spanish Editors
in the Cuban Capital.

HAVANA, Dec. lei Dario de la Mari
ma, commenting on President McKinley's
message to Congress, says: ut contains
impressive declarations calculated to
strengthen, were that necessary, the Span
ish cause in the Island of Cuba. 1t will
dishearten the separatists. Facts are al
ways the most energetic and decisive argu-
ments, and the facts in the presidential
message cannot be any less satisfactory to
the Spaniards than to the American legis-
lature. According to the solemn statements
of the American chief magistrate to the
American Congress there is no reason that
will justify American Intervention in the
Cuban question. This undoubted fact is
confirmed by the executive of the American
Union. In view of the absolute sovereignty
of Spain over Cuba and of the absence of
such conditions as would entitle the insur-
gents to claim recognition as belligerentS,
facts acknowledged in the President mes
sage, as was to be expected, because rea-
son, justice and right required, we protest
with all our energy against declarations
aiming to show that the United States
would be justined in assuming another attI-
tude in certain contingencies in the future.
Such declarations may be Intended, as they
probably. are, TO console the jingoes for
their failure, but there is not a Spaniard
who will not show his Indignation at all
such suggestions. Spain in any event will
repel any demonstration looking to the in
tervention of a foreign state in affairs alb
solutely her own, and the United States
shall never, under any consideration, take
even an indirect part in the settlement of
our particular concerns"
Ell Pals, the organ of the autonomists,
thinks the message very favorable TO the
interests of Cuba, and believes that the at
titude that President Mckinley assumes
will calm the fury OF the partisans of in
dependence" 1t adds: THE radical change
in Spanish policy. the establishment of
autonomy and the release of political pris-
onerS is working a rapid and most surpris-
ing transformation. 1t demonstrates that
Spain, while resolved to maintain her
sovereignty at any cost, to put down the re-
bellion and TO destroy the forces that sup
port it, will use also the practical argu-
ments that must appeal to the sympathy of
the American people"
