Policy in an Interview.

London, March 15--The London Times
publishes an interview which it's CORES
pondent in the United States, Mr. George
Smalley. has had with Mr.. John Sherman.
Mr. Smalley in substance says:
After a conversation with Mr.. Sherman
I believe that he has no very definite set
tied opinions on foreign policy and does
not hope to make them felt in the senate
He does not think that foreign affairs are
of the first Importance. or even of high
Importance He approves. platonically, of
the doctrine of arbitra ton. and may read
But he does not seem sure that the
amendments proposed for the arbitration
treaty are of much Importance, though
he has been told plainly that the British
government will not proceed with the
treaty thus amended.
His interest in Cuba is more direct:
his purpose is clearer and his Sena torisl
jingoism has fallen from him like a worn
out garment. He declared that there
would be no change of policy in regard to
Cuba and that there would be no war
with Spain. saying, We want none and
we do not believe Spain wants war. If
Spain gave me quit claim deed to Cuba
l would not have it.
Referring TO Canada. he repealed the
notion of desiring to annex Canada and
said that under the British crown she
had all the freedom she would have if
independent, adding:
= If WISE she will maintain her con-
nection with England My dream for a
remote permanent future of North Amer
States and Mexico; but we shall not take
a step to alter things as they are What
