Spain Appeal, TO the Powers.

Special to EVENING HERALD.
Madrid, May 1o.-The speech made by Mr.,
Chamberlain, the British Colonial Secretary,
has produced much unfavorable comment
here Both Prime Minister sagasta and
Senior Gullon believe the speech indicates
that way is being paved for an Anglo
American alliance. 1t is believed that the
Cabinet will consider Mr.. Chamberlain s
speech and will afterward invite the Europ-
can powers to express their opinion on the
probable effect of an Anglo-American alliance
on Europe's interests. The Liberal says that
Spain is not heightened by the threat of an
Anglo-American alliance. The day the
agreement is signed will be the date of a gen
eral cOnfagration, and Germany and Russia
with their allies will face Great Britain and
the United States. The outbreak will in.
volve India, Africa and Manchuria.

AN ODD SOLDIER.
James Hendricks Served During the War.
but Never Tried to KID.

James Hendricks Served During the War.
but Never Tried to KID.
James Hendricks of Elberton, Ca, Is
the most unique military character in
Georgia. Hendricks shouldered q gun in
1861 and was in nearly every important
battle of tho war. But he declares that
he can lay his hand on Bible aud take
a solemn oath that not one Union SOL
dier was killed or wounded by bullet
from his musket.
He answered the call Of President
Davis reluctantly, believing that war
was wrong from every standpoint from
patriotic sense OF duty, however. he
would march with the troops in the
thick of the fight, and when the order
to fire was passed along the line ho
would invariably send his charge over
the head Of the enemy
He considered that legalized killing
was nothing less than outright murder
and he did not propose having his hands
stained with any ones blood. Hendricks
says that he still ontertains the same
sentiments and does not expect to vol
unteer for service in tho Cuban inva'
sion. He declares, however, that If the
worst comes and he is conscripted he
will revert to his old habit and send his
balls whizzing over tho heads OF the
Spaniar,ls. baltimore Sun.

ban Francisco Churches Favor the Capture

The churches in San Francisco which

meeting and decided to appeal TO the
president to take this course The Caro-
line islands are part of the Spanish
possessions They were seized only a
few years ago, and the governor gener-
al of the Philippines rules over them.
The missionaries in San Francisco
say that the natives are we'll armed

driven out the Spanish long ago had it
not been for fear of gunboat. This 80
called war vessel is one Of the impro-

WAR MAY BE WORLDWIDE.

Captain whitney Says the Possibility IL
Anticipated by British Authorities.
Captain A. s. A. Whitney, in charge
of the arsenal at Melbourne, Australia,
went through Pittsburg to Washington
the other day to call ON President Nc
Kinley. Captain Whitney said:
my trip Is the result Of the Hispano-
American war. Speaking as private
citizen, / would say that the British au-
thorities anticipate as possibility that
your war may become worldwide and
that our government will be forced to
take part. / carry to the president
requests from the Australian govern
ment for passports through your arse
nails and naval stations. mainly to make
friendly study of your methods OF
gunmaking and naval architecture. Aft
er seeing all that the American govern
ment will allow me to see in the United
States, go to the Canadian arsenal at
Quebec, calling on Mr.. Laurier before
going 10 London to report.
This war has opened up great posi-
bilities The most pleasing thing about
il is the frendliness between the govern
ments of Great Britain and the United
States. Suppose then I should try to
learn how effective the United States
could be, I rejoice at the Manila vic
tory. But T am sorry it was so easily
won. If the United States had had a
harder fight, they would, perhaps, COM
menee building q more formidable feet
than they might be led to build under
the circumstances. In coming east from
San Francisco have noticed general
feeling that the United States could
whip the world ON the water. 1t is a
grave mistake to encourage this over
confidence admiral SIMPSONS feet
meeting feet Of equal size, manned
by Englishmen or French or German
sailors, would have fearful battle be-
fore victory.
1.-The lesson Of this is at once the be-
ginning of navy equal to the task Of
defending American interests in war
of immense proportions, which is not so
unlikely as some might imagine. In
this, of course, / am looking at the ques-
ton from an American standpoint. -
