PEPPER-Y STUFF.
"Habana, February %, via Key West,
Fla.-Inquiry into the Maine disaster pro-
crosses along definite lines. The results
so far may be summed up in the state
ment that the probabilities that it was an
accident seem to decrease with the pro-
gress Of the investigation. The most in
tense anxiety is shown by the Spanish
officials here, who are I'm constant com
munication with Madrid. They realize
that the relations with the United States
were never so much in danger Of rupture
as now This is the general feeling
"The commercial classes here are hope
ful of American Intervention on peaceful
lines, but what they base their hopes on
IS unknown.
"The insurgents continue to win minor
military successes. The autOnOmists are
restless. and some Of the leaders seem on
the point Of breaking away from the gov
eminent. Army officers continue to show
an anti-American sentiment. They are
apparently the only class that does not
look for an early crisis

ance 1t had its origin in Frances role
in the peace negotiations, and the re-
ports of friction with England over

Spaniards, who apprehend further sac

negotiations, regard the suggestion of
a French alliance with much favor, es-
pecially as French help will be very
useful also in the great work of fnan-

it must be noted that the protocol,
signed under French auspices, pro-
duced a great deal of popular dissatis-

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-Henry M. Stan
ley, the famous explorer, journalist and
author. once an American citizen and
now a member of the English House
OF Commons has placed himself on
record as opposed to Anglo-American
alliance. He recognizes the fact that
England and America are bound to-
gether by numerous ties and are year
~ drawing closer together, but in spite
Of that fact he advises caution and
thinks it to the interest of neither ma
ton to adopt a lettering and entangl-
ing alliance.
