A Menace,

If the Spanish torpedo boat fotilla,
which left Cadiz yesterday for the
Canary Islands, proceeds to Porto Ri
co. as intended by the Madrid govern
ment, President Mckinley will direct
the formation. of a flying squadron to
max demon stration upon the Span
ish coast.
This matter was seriously considered
today by the president and several of
his advisers, ard while no final deci-
sion Wss reached. it isge nerally under
stood that the orders of the organiza-
tion of the squadron will be issued i'm
mediately upon to receipt of informa-
tion showing that the torpedo hotilla
has left the Canary Islands for Porto
Rico waters.
1t is not intended that the proposed
demonstration shall be hostile unless
war shou d be in progress, but it will
be menace to the safety of Spanish
commerce and the Spanish coast, just
as the dispatch of the torpedo boat to
the West Indies is regarded as q men,
ace to American shipping and the
American coast.

A Frantic AttemDt
1S1SNS1N5

Dispatches from correspondents
in ell the capitals of Europe indicate
that Spain is making frantic efforts to
form cOmbin alton of great powers
against the United States. She is act
ually bankrupt and cannot procure any
additional means of fighting. What
little she bas on hand is being spent to
corrupt the newspapers in France and
elsewhera on the continent to create
public sentiment against the United
States and to give a formidable ap-
pearance to her diplomatic manipula-
tions. 1t is a fact we'll established that
Austria | as taken sides with Spain and
that Germany is also synpathe etic, but
as the Marquis Rudini has already
sai in an interview with co: res
pondent. the voice of the Italian peop'e
is in favor of Cuban independence, and
so far Spanish diplomacy has been un-
able to induce the Triple Alliance to
take any 9th er than a neutral attitude.
A correspondent at Rome telegrsphs
that there was conference yesterday
between ViscOnti, Italian minister of
foreign affairs, the Spanish ambas-
sadOr, Negra, and Baron Fava, at which
the threatened conflict between Spain
and the United States was discussed.
1t is likely, if it is not already settled,
that Italy will propose the nomination
OF an international commission, COM
posed OF five European experts, to
make new inquiry into the cause of
the Maine disaster. This proposition
depends upon the willingness of the
United States and Spain to submit the
matter to such a comm mission and q
willingness of the powers to take part
in it. 1t is believed that i, quiries are
being msde at the various capitals on
the subject.
The Russian newspapers are develop
u Hns fn no
ition of the United States, and several
competent sources say that the FrencQ
general staff insists that France can
not afford to abandon any small Euro
pean power outside of the Triple AL
lance.

just at that moment something seemed
to struggle within me, for out of the
depths of my sinful heart there came
yelling the tiny, feeble remnant of the
little good it ever held.
II felt as if | could give not only
love but life to that noble woman who
had proposed to herself this mad, this
fearful sacrifice in order to put to
proof the sincerity of the man she
loved. Disregarding the presence of
the man of law l clasped her in my
arms, and we-yes, Jack, we wept to-
gether.
Il treasure now that sacred parch-
ment which awakened to new life the
little good that was left in me-which
aroused the deadened sense of unset
fish love and gave me riches greater
far than my villainy had ever dreamed
of. Do you wonder, Jack, that am a
changed man."
And that was the sequel of the con-
versation in Bond street.
