CaStilianS Receive Due Warning From the
 British.
The English Press and Foreign Office Join in Saying That the United States Will
 Easily Triumph.

that Spain is no more in position to fight the United States than was Greece to fight Turkey. The one great hope of the European chancellories is that the President will Succeed in delaying the explosion until under the guiSe of au- tonomy, arrangements may possibly be made to facilitate Spain'S giving up Cuba It must be remembered that for two years, although Spain has at times assumed a vigorous attitude, she has invariably failed to maintain it when the crisis was reached. The sug- gestion of the continental press of in- tervention upon the part of the Euro pean powers is mischievous, and noth- ing is more certain to provoke hostili- tieS.
 It has been suggested that the pres ence in London of the Infanta Eulalie is connected in some way with diplo- macy, but the list of guests at the off, cial dinner given in her honor at the Spanish Ambassadors hardly lends color to the assumption.
 The Statist says: While the out break of hostilities would seriously af- feet New York, Madrid would be much worse off. It would mean the immedi- ate suspension of specie payments and either the suspension of interest on the debt or paper payment. The financial crisis would react on Paris, with the probable effect of throwing the whole of New York's demand for gold on London, and so indirectly affecting the prices of all securities
 Continuing the Statist remarks: ''The Government is indebted to the Bank of Spain between eleven and twelve hundred million pesetas, about 40 per cent more than in 1897, and the position of the bank is such that the suspension of specie payments is bound to follow any large tender of notes It. bullion is only 40 per cent of it's note circulation
 According to Madrid advices the pa- pers there are whistling loudly, trying to arouse a sense of wrong, with the doctrine that war de facto was de- clared when the United States per mitted support to be furnished to the insurgents.
 Early during the week strict censor and cheated widespread alarm This was enhanced by the suppression of all news of the movements of the Spanish torpedo flotilla and the announcement that a cruiser would accompany the destroyers, which was taken to mean that the Spaniards feared attempts would be made by the United States to stop the fiotilla on it's way to Porto Rico

PARIS, March 26.-In the Chamber of Deputies to-day M. GorussCt, Socialist, made a sweeping criticism of the for eign policy of the Government M. Ba- ron. speaking in support of M. Guros- sot introduced the Cuban question. He said:
 "France cannot remain indifferent to the Spanish American conflict and the monstrous encroachment Of the Anglo Saxon race on the Latin race. It is the duty of France to approach Spain and the United States with words of concil- iation and peace
 M. Hanotaux Minister of Foreign Affairs replying to NJ. Baron, said the negotiations with England regarding West Africa were proceeding favor ably With reference to China M. Hanotaux said the negotiations were being carried on at Paris and Picking, and that significant results might be expected. Turning to Cuba, he said: However necessary the defense of our own interests may be, it is subordinate to the importance of the grave difficult ties which the Cuban question has pre- sented too long. The whole world is following with emotion and anxiety the varying fortunes of the conflict proceeding in Cuba, and the whole world earnestly hopes for it's speedy conclusion.
 .The interests affected or threatened and the courage and perseverance dis played add daily some element to the dramatic trend of events in that. island. The Chamber knows the sym pathy and esteem which the United States inspire. On the one hand we have an ancient and faithful relation, good neighborly feelings, affinities of race and interests, and. finally, the re- spect with which the patriotism of a heroic nation naturally inspires us.

LONDON, March 26-Although pub lie opinion on this side of the Atlantic, as in America, had already discounted the findings of the United States Court of Inquiry into the loss of the Maine, and actual confirmation was expected, the verdict only served to whet peoples appetites. It has in no way alleviated the suspense or the anxiety in regard to the immediate effect produced by the report, nor the eagerneSS to know the position which President Mckinley and his Cabinet propose to take in this diff cult and delicate situation. So intense is the interest in the latest turn of the kaleidoscope, that it has immeasurably increased the nervous tension which has been agitating Europe for the last three months. There is little hope here that hostilities can be avoided, and it is believed the revelation now officially made will so combine the other factors of the situation as to make war inevit- able, though it is still regarded as pos sible that Spain at the last moment, will see the hopelessness of maintain ing her position and yield to the inevit- able without. as a British admiralty of ficial said, having the lesson unmerci- fully hammered into her, although the hammering may possibly not be accom- plished until after her spirits have been raised by a temporary success.
 It is at least realized here that the movement to end the Cuban scandal is no longer in the hands of the jingoes, but that the solid sentiment of the United States bids the executive act when the proper moment arises; that the risks have been estimated, and that the great body of Americans are ready to face them.
 So far as it is possible to ascertain the general diplomatic opinion, 1t can be summed up in the words of aForeign Office man, who remarked: "The pre- servation of peace depends upon the temper Spain displays when the inevit- able notification is delivered. The Pres ident proposes to relieve the sufferers by distributing food, clothes and medi- cines from American WarShipS and transports, precisely as Great Britain is now, unofficially and on a smaller scale, doing in Crete, and unless Spain pockets her Cverweening conceit, which has hitherto made the recogni- ton of her failure impossible to her, a rupture must come from that quarter, and Spain will put herself hCpelessly in the wrong Spain's pretensions of preparedness for war and her Finance Ministers assurance that she has sufff- cient funds therefor are equally unten- able unless the latter cOntemplates the immediate suspension of specie pay ments and the payment of the inter est on the debt in paper.

NEW YORK, March 26.-The claim of Charles F. Gall of San Francisco against the estate of his uncle, Joseph Gall, was sustained yesterday by the appellate division of the Supreme Court. Gall has been in constant liti- gation over the property for a dozen years. He originally came to this city from San Francisco at the request of name of Gall, and who promised to leave him his property.
 Joseph Gall was one of the oldest opticians in this city, and had accumu- lated considerable fortune. When he died he fulfilled his promise and made a will in his nephew's favor A claim ant soon appeared in the person of a woman, who had been the aged man S housekeeper. She had been known as Amelia Stieb, but she asserted that she had contracted common law mar riage with MT. Gall and that she was consequently entitled to a dover in the estate. A jury sustained her conten- tion and held that she had been legally married some time between the date of the birth of her first child and MT Calls death This legitimatized the posthumous child born soon afterward. and the effect of the will was over thrown.
 Then the question of marriage was carried to the Court of Appeals and was bitterly fought at each step. It was only one of a very small number of contested common law relations that have successfully passed the test of all the courts.
 Charles F. Gall then began his first suit against the widow. He put in a claim for the specific performance of It. To-. onf fA H. money. This was carried to the court of last resort and he was beaten

shared and which have lasted a very long time. Such is the position of the conflict wherein both interests and honor are involved. Our first duty is to unceasingly express to the two nations the desire of all that a sanguinary and formidable fight be avoided.
 If these two parties. with common accord, are endeavoring to find sure and impartial friends to help them in amicable arrangement of so grave a question, they will see that all well-in- tentioned people are lending themselves to the desire and we will not be back ward. But it would be going beyond the reserve imposed upon us to go fur ther than this. I can here. at least only renew the expression of our ar dent wishes for an equitable solution of the matter, wherein right, honor and liberty may be satisfied, and which will result in maintaining between two tions, equally dear to us, the great benefit of peace" (Cheers)
 A motion approving M. Hanotaux's S statements was adopted by vote of 300 to III.

or not after the message transmitting the Maine report to Congress remains to be seen. Much may depend upon the character of the report and testimony, and the understanding which he gives to leaders in both houses as to what his next step is to be.
 AS is indicated by the poll, a large proportion of the men in both houses are waiting to hear from the President and to obtain full official information before committing themselves as to the policy which they believe the United States ought to pursue in the impend ing crisis. They wish the President to define his policy and they expect it to be one which will meet their full ap proval and to which they can give their hearty support. They do not wish to hamper themselves in any way by pre- viously committing themselves to any decided policy.
 Many of them privately express a most decided view on the subject, but they have confidence in the President, and they believe that his policy will be one which they can heartily support. The same degree of confidence iA the President is expressed by a great ma JO1lLN or the men 1ncluueu uIlueT OlI16T heads in the poll. They have not felt, how ever, that their declaration of opinion would prevent them from falling in line to support the President when he should make known his plans.
 One thing about which there cannot be a shadow of doubt is that the ma- jority of both houses of Congress be- lieve that unless Spain backs down for cible intervention will have to be re- sorted to and war will be inevitable. The reasons for the general confidence of the members of both houses in the President is that they believe his pol icy is steadily tending in that direc- tiOn, and that he is in a better position to judge as to the rate of progress that should be made than any member of Congress can possibly be.
 An examination of the poll will show that unless there is some occurrence between now and Monday to greatly in- flame public mind there is little danger of Congress breaking away from the administration and precipitating war by hasty and ill-considered action.

Another Warship for Cuban Ports
Encouraged by the excellent effect of
the visit of the battleship Maine to Ila-
vana, the administration has determined
to send another man of war upon a friendly
visit to the smaller Cuban ports. The vcs-
sci selected is the cruiser Montgomery.
The ports in Cuba will not form tic only
feature in the itinerary of the Montgomery,
as it is proposed to have her call at sew
/! cral points in the West Indies. The Mont
.gomery's mission, like that of the Maine,
is purely friendly i'll character. Com
mander Converse, commanding the Mont
gomery, has instructions directing him to
call on the port authorities and American
cons,ls and confer with the latter in re-
gard TO any matters they may care TO dis
cuss. The Montsomcry's sailors will not
be given liberty on shore during the stay
of their vessel in Cuban waters.
In view of the peaceful aspect of the
situation as reported by Gen. Lee and
Capt. Sigsbce. the Administrations officials
say this is The best time for the United
States warship to visit the smaller Cuban
ports. The authorities believe the benefit
cial results of the Mainc's visit will be in
creased if the cruiser should display an
American flag at other points OH the
island.
