THAT CUBAN BUSINESS.

Wa-Keeney is a good long distance
from the scene of the Cuban rebellion
and the Maine disaster, but the affairs
in and around Havana have been the
only topic of conversation on our
streets for the past few days.
Every metropolitan daily that comes
to town is eagerly scanned for the
latest details, and it has been almost
impossible to keep a paper in the
Office. At present writing the alleged
accident theory is decidedly on the
wane.
Captain SigSbee is showing his good
sense by keeping still while the in
vestigation is going on, but no one
knows better than he that the mis-
chief that sent his noble battleship
to the bottom of that filthy Havana
harbor was not an accident
Consul General Lee is also keenly
alive to the situation and has infor-
mally warned all Americans citizens
TO leave the island at once.
The Senate has appointed a second
investigation committee and adopted
without debate a resolution to inquire
if battleship equal to the best in
the world can pc built in twelve
months.
A bill to enlarge the artillery and
coast guard service was passed with
only four dissenting votes.
The latest advices from Havana al
lege that the Maine was DESTROYED by
a torpedo towed against the bow of
the vessel with long line.
The villainy was not directly the
work of the Spanish government, but
was the work of the brood of assassins
lately led by the Bloody Weyler.
Should this prove correct the raS-
cally Dons will have to pay an indem-
nifty to the tune of about SIS, 600, 900
or have about dozen of Uncle Sans

has had unusual opportunities of learning the
sentiment of politicians ard of the pubhc uu'
ing his three weeks sojourn in Europe IN an
interview to-day summarized his views Oh
French and English opinions on war questions
Mr.. Depew said:
"The sentiment in France is about what II
would he in the United States II England ana
France were lighting and every paper III the
United States were daily abusing the FRENCH
denouncing the injustice Of their gong 10 war;
picturlng them AS race Of robbers, shopKeeP-
ers and pigs. declaring that England was poor
and was the under dog and holding up France
as actuated by nothing bat pure brute desire
TO steal England's property.
That's what all the papers but three are do
ing IN France. When we consider that france
and Spain are both Of the Latin race and OF the
same religion and that Frenchmcn nave num-
dreds OF millions invested in Spain, we need mol
be surprised that the feeling there is practically
unanimous against us.
II think only one man prevents this feeilnS
taking acute form. That is NJ. HanotauX' the
Minister Of Foreign Affairs. But for him the
French Chamber Of Deputies might have taken
action openly siding with Spain.
There is no doubt that had Manila been

GENERAL BLANCO'S POPULARITY.

Havana. June 22-There ia absolutely no
foundation for the report published IN 'he
United States Of an attempt to assassinate cap
tain General BlancO by a member OF the VOL
urteers whose brother had been shot Tor COM
plcity in a plot against the Government
General Blanco enjoys the esteem of ali classes
IN Havana including the volunteers. and Is
REGARDED with the utmost confidence as the rep
resentative Of Spanish sovereignty. The Gu
bans admit that they are under obligations 10
General Blanco for the establishment OF autono-
nv in the island. The Palace guards are from
the volunteers. and several officers Of that oody
are aids on the Generals staff.
General Blancos public appearances are IRE
quenty the occasions Of patriouc defhohs'r"-
tions. and that he has no fear OF assassina-
ton is shown by the fact that he often rldes
ont without escort, visiting the fortihcatlons
about Havana without the attendance or the
usual bodyguard.
