announcement:

tributing an aggressive tone to the dip

Spain Does Not Desire War.
A semi-official note just issued de
clares that the Spanish government has
not received any complaint regarding
the attitude of General Fitzhugh Lee,
United States consul general at Havana,
adding: "On the contrary, Captain
General Banco affirms that General
Lees behavior has always been correct.
The incident serves to explain the orr
gin of the ill-will between the two coun-
tries This is proved by the statements
attributed to Secretary Sherman, by
which the jingoes created tho impress
sion that Spain is trying to provoke war
with the United States. while at the
same time engendering feeling in
Spain that it is the United States which
demands the opening of hostilites. 1t
Is essential that this double game should
be ended in order to prevent the two
countries from going to war without
motives and without desiring it. =

London, March S.-The st. James
Gazette says today: sit is ascertained
on very high authority, in spite of de-
mails, that the Spanish government has
almost certainly succeeded In buying the
three nearly completed cruisers here,
and two coast defense vessels, which are
about to be launched in France. Ex-
perts are almost as much surprised at
! the success Of Madrid in raising money
as by the clever diplomacy which secured
the Chilean and Brazilian cruisers of the
Armstrong;, at a cost believed to be
Ell 900, 900, almost before the move was
suspected" Diplomats here say that
Spain has endeavored to raise loan
among her wealthy citizens abroad, Of
fering lien on the public buildings as
surety, and it is thought possibly this
may be the source OF the present dis
bursements."

day of a bill appropriating $5O,00O, ,0OO
