SPECULATION IN CUBAN BONDS
Financiers Said to He Exchanging
Spanish Securities for Those
of IuSurrents

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Whatever may come
of the Maine incident, ii is now generally
believed that Cubas independence is as
sured. Actual war would, Of course, mean
independence almost at once. but the be-
lief is that even if war is aVerted Spain'S
actual hold on the island will be terminated
before many months have passed.
There is a strange story to this effect
floating about the coakrooms of the SEN
ate, where it is asserted positively that
certain great financial interests-alwayS
able to secure advance information of value
have become convinced that the island
will soon be free. There are even rumors
that certain senators have been informed
of the fact, and have been urged TO delay
action for purely speculative reasons. 1t is
said that the Belmonts, representing the
Rothschilds' interests, have gradually dis
posed of their large holdings of Spanish
bonds, having unloaded them quietly but
persstently during the period when talk of
autonomy led unthinking politicians to be-
lieve that the revolution would fall of its
own weight under the pressure of public
opinion Therupon, so the story goes. the
Belmont interests quietly gathered in all

PARIS PAPERS EXPECT WAR.
Consider Well Before Tack
ling SDain.

Paris. Feb. 2s.-The Paris Temps says of
the Maine disaster: Not only do the facts
which have leaked out so far point to a
submarine mine as the cause of the dis
aster, but there is also this argument In
support OF this being due to design, that
the federal government would have un-
doubtedly spoken out at once if the sup
position of accident had been confirmed. If
such is the case. President Mckinley will
have great difficulty in preventing a con-
tict."
The Patrie thinks that war is on the point
of breaking out between Spain and the
United States. but advises the latter to
think twice before engaging in conflict.
''Spain's army and navy it says, lis COM
posed of seasoned and tried men, whereas
the quality is absent in the forces at the
disposal of the United States. The Amer
lean fleet is organized only for defensive
war. AS for the American army, 1t is still

Paris, Feb. 2S.-The Echoe de Paris to-
day, expresses the hope that a European
statesman will be found to intervene with

tween the United States and Spain. Con-

solution of the Spanish cortes as an en-
couraging symptom.

in Regard to the Dreyfus
Prosecutions.

afternoon under a call issued requesting the
members to express their opinion regard
ing the case of NJ Zola, the famous novel;
list sentenced to a years Imprisonment be-
cause of his outspoken demand for open
trials and particularly for new trial in
the famous Dreyfus case. Warm addresses
on the subject were made and the following
resolutions We're adopted:
whereas, In the republic of France. a
great writer has. in the face of temporary
public opinion, dared. regardless of conse-
quenceS, to maintain the right of free
thought free speech and free publication
when the object is for the general public

.'Whereas, NJ. Zola has been aided by II.
Perreux in boldly printing what NJ Zola
wrote and who is now sustaining such ex-
preston by his own course.
Resolved That the Press Club of Chi
cago. the gathering ground and recognized
center of the journalists and authors OF
Chicago. in a republic which has been close
to France in many things. declares its pro-
to both the great novelist and to the editor
who published his letter; declares, too, its
belief in the justice Of the cause advanced,
so far as was demanded the free expression
of thought for the good Of humanity. and
it's demand that all trials of all men should
be spoken to the world.
Furthermore, The Press Club of Chicago
wishes to express its confidence IN the ul-
innate verdict of great people when there
comes further reflection upon wrongs some-

Santiago de Cuba, Feb. 2S.-Before leav-

as their short stay would allow.
The province of Santiago de Cuba con-

war no accurate estimate of the popula-

Before the war the city of Santiago de
Cuba had 56.77 inhabitants. This has been

part in the war. This loss of population
was in spite Of the quartering here of

Our own government is not. without
precedent of her own making in the matter.
At the time OF the Malta riots in the state
of Louisiana some years ago. you will re-
member that then Secretary of State James
G. Blaine contended and l think rightly.
that the death of a number of Italian sub
Jects was brought by circumstances SO ex-
traordinary that the government could not
be expected TO have foreseeu their dam
ger, and, therefore, could not have pre-
vented II. If. in view Of these facts. the
United States sought out the real offenders
and brought them to the fullest justice, he
further insisted, all had Been done that

tempt was made to bring them to justice.
hut the conditions were such. ard the pub
lie opinion was SO prejudiced that it even
affected the state courts of Louisiana and
II was impossible to bring them to justice.
Then the president was authorized by con-
gress TO indemnify the widows and children
of the Italians who were killed. This case
and that OF the Maine disaster are anal
osous in their effect.
"A great wrong has been done this ma
lion, and many families have been sadly

explosion which cost so many lives, then
the government of Spain must find them
and mete out TO them the most severe pun
fshment which so cowardly a crime de-
mands. If she does this, she has done her
duty. in my opinion. If she fails TO do so,
then our national dignity will force US to
compel something else.
This, of course, is upon the assumption
that Spain government was neither
Instrumental nor had any knowledge of the
