SENTIMENT IN THE SOUTH.
Central Americans Arc in Favor of

New York. May l3.-James Edward
Buckley, formerly United States vice con-
sui at Bogota, Colombia. and now mem
Der Of Kansas syndicate owning Il rail-
road concession in that country reached
New York on the Atlas line steamer Ale
gheDy on his way home to Kansas city.
Mr.. Buckley Is thoroughly familiar With
the people of the South American coun-
tres, especially SO with the citizens Of
the United States of Colombia
Speaking OF the sentiment apro2os OF the
war he said: There is very little inter
est manifested in the war for the 'eayon
that little is heard of It, Whatever senti-
ment here its. AMI particularly among
the educated classes, is with the United
States.
we did not see single war vessel since
we left Puerto Sayanilla. We passed many
vessels OF American. build. thoush flags
were, not often visi-le. Some Of the own
ers are evidently a little afraid One Amer
lean schooner remained In the harbor at
Savanilla. Her captain told me he had
heard too many stories OF Spanish cruelty
10 cap,ives TO take any chances. Two
other American schooners were at Kings
ton when war was declared. One came
home under an English charter and the
other captain said he would take chances
and with the Stars and Stripes flying at
the masthead he went on south with his
cargo"

poets for Peace.

New York, May ia dispatch to the
World from London says: Some doubt is
expressed here whether the Cape Verde
squadron has returned to Cadiz, in view OF
the fact that the news was given out Just
about the time when the squadron was due
at the West Indies, If steaming slowly to
economic coal. Sir Donald Currie, chair
steamers, which call regularly at the Cana
ries and Cape Verde, when asked whether
any of his incoming steamers had reported
having sighted the squadron, said: mo.
For my part | believe, however, the squad
ron has returned TO Spain, as the Spanish
government has been unable to surmount
the coaling difficulty attendant on dis
patching ships across the Atlantic. They
could not engage the United States fleet
on arriving at the other side if they had
exhausted a good part of their coal, as
their hulls would stand so high in the water
that their unarmored parts would be dan
gerously exposed.
Asked for his opinion as to the fortified.
lions of the Canaries, with which he is
personally familiar, he replied They
have been hurriedly patching them up
lately, but they are very poor fortifica-
tons at best. l don't think they could
withstand an attack from strong fleet"
Lord Edmond Fitzmaurice said; II doubt
If a Spanish fleet will be sent across the
Atlantic at all, and the United States can
now, II it chooses, repeat the exploit uf
Drake, called smuggling the Spanish king
beard, but the United States are not likely
10 carry the war into European waters,
their object being only to liberate Cuba.
Besides, to do so would be 10 arouse En-
rope and give those powers friendly 10
Spain pretext for active intervention 1t
looks now as II Spain has abandoned Cuba.
This is the prevalent opinion in the DO
litical and diplomatic circles here. In fact,
II has been suggested that Spain will before
long find means OF proposing indirectly 10
Washington to surrender Cuba on condition
that the United States retire from the Phil
ippines 1t is also rumored in well in
formed circles here that Queen Victoria
has personally appealed to the queen regent
10 suffer peace on the ground that the long
err the war continues the more her sons
nrospects will be jeopardized. There is a
general feeling here now and on the CONT
nent also, that a continuance of the war by
Snain will be nothing short OF criminal
and cruel, but It is clearly understood that
the European powers will not intervene
unless they are invited by Spain and on
conditions acceptable TO the United States.

ton dispatch says: The possibility Of dlpio-
matte complications between the United
States and France is suggested by this
question which is agitating the naval Of
fcias at present: did French experts
man the guns that carried death to hve
American sailors on the winslow?"
The suspicion directed against France
is due to two cause.-the recent blockade
running experience of the French steam
ship Lafayette which was released after
the Improvement of the sunners manning
the guns on the Spanish forts.
Their Improvement has been so notices
able. according 10 naval experts, that II In
dicatcs the introduction OF new and more
efficient gunners than have been met with
before in Cuba.
Reports from the American ships block
aiding the Cuban coast received during the
last four or five days have credited the
Spanish gnnners with much better marks
mnnship than has been formerly given
them.
According to naval officers, the surprising
efficiency manifested in the recent work
| can not logically he explained by natural
| Improvement from practice. The Spanish
gunners who have been popping away at
the blockading fleet for ton days prior to
| Tuesday we're reported to be so bad as to
merit the deserved contempt Of the younger
members In the service. But the gunners
were not the same ones who have been OPP
Grating the guns at Cardenas Havana and
Matanzas during the blockade.
They are inclined to believe that the
men who did this work are better trained
and more expert than the Spanish gunners,
and their deduction inspires the suspicion
against the French liner Lafayette. which.
by act OF courtesy OF this government, was
permitted within the lines of the blockade
for the ostenslble purpose of delivering dis
patches to the French consul at Havana
and deporting French residents who desired
to leave the Cuban capital.
