Wants No interference.

MADRID May 15-The Herald, referring
to the possible action of the United States
for relief of Americans in Cuba, says: THE
Spanish government will have universal
opinion on it's side If it acts with energy
in repeliing American interference in our
affairs, but this opinion will be hostile un-
less the government ceases concession.
These displays of weakness, if they do not
increase the difficulty of solving the ques-
ton certainly do not improve the situation
in Cuba
The Correspondencia announces that the
reported increase in the strength of the
Spanish navy was decided on in view of the
possibility of International conflicts.

Interest in revoking the civil SER
vice reform measures is limited ex-
clusively to the politicians and to
persons seeking positions through
political influence. Whatever bonn.
bastic phrases may be framed to
prejudice the people against civil
service reform, such as comparing it
to foreign systems and declaring it a
plot to build up an oAice-holding
class, whatever may be, il anything,
in these weak arguments, the sound
sense Of the great majority will Ger
tainly place the merit system higher
than the spells system.
