denunciation of boss rule which he de-
clared exists in this state under the DOM

'The beautiful white battleship that

New York. March IA Tribune dis
patch from London says:
Negotiations for the purchase OF war
ships are still In progress, Spanish agents
having money at their disposal in Lon
don. The only vessel which they are be-
lieved to have purchased Is McAlmont 5
steam yacht now in the Mediterranean.
Spain would have secured the
Amazonas and Brouall Il week ago II
the vote Of the S50.00g0 had not been
passed, Lieutenant Colwen had previous
ly entered bid for them and the Spanish
agents made determined effort to secure
them but failed. Brazil at first sought to
sell four ships, including the two coast
defense vessels building in France which
are only half finished. but finally con-
scented TO deliver the Amazonas, provided
her sister ship at Armstrong; was in
cluded in the contract. These negotia-
tions were conducted by Henry White
and the Brazilian minister with assist
ance from the naval attaches of each
government. In addition the o'Higgins
is now the object Of keen bargaining and
there is at least one fine cruiser in
continental port which is likely to be
purchased.
Notwithstanding this warlike prepara-
ton, the general feeling among the Amer
lean and English bankers here is that
war between Spain and the United States
will be averted. All the conservatives on
the street consider an outbreak of hostil-
tiles improbable, The stock list today re-
fleets this feeling. The Rothschilds are
reported TO be strongly eXerting intlu-
ence, especially in Paris and Madrid, in
the interest Of peaceful diplomatic set
tlement between the two countries.

"Of course the trouble with Spain which

out bag and baggage long ago with re-
luctance perfectly sincere with protesta-

believed us. We should have blockaded
the island, bombarded Havana as We did
