"Africa is one Of the very richest

negroes, plying between that great
country and the United States, the
negro would soon grow rich and
prosperous by selling to the whites
OF this country minerals, precious
ores, gems, ivory, and thousand
things which arc found in abundance
in that rich land, and which would
fetch good prices here. T believe
that the press Of this country would

correspondent from members of the
family, has been able to obtain the
views Of the former chancellor on the
war and the suggested Anglo-SaXon al.

lows:
Prince Bismarck condemns the war
outright. He says it is due to syste.
matte American provocaton, which
finally became unbearable. He added.
1.-THE whole course of the Washing.

Regarding the speech made on Friday
last by Joseph Chamberlain, the Brit.
ish secretary of state for the colonies
at Birmingham, Prince Bismarck said:
"The Importance thereof depends
upon whether Mr.. Chamberlains pri.
vate opinions are those of the British
government. Closer Anglo-American
relations are doubtless feasible, but an
alliance is improbable and ulservice-
able to both. Besides, it is a mistake

CUBAN STARVATION.
The Alarming Stories Of Suffering Denied
by a Wealthy Havana Cigar
Merchant ,,.

Key West, May 19-Senor G.. Book,
the wealthy Havana cigar merchant
who is waiting here for permission to
go to Havana on the German steamer
Polaria, denies the stories of the suf-
ferng and starvation of the people in
the large Cuban towns He claims to
have over 6,4O0 men working on his
tobacco plantations and, incidentally,
raising food enough for themselves and
a large community besides. Senior
Book says he is informed as to the real
situation, and can set as many more
men at work raising food stuffs when
ever needed. The farmers who are
raising produce for the Spaniards, he
explains, are armed and protected by
the government, and he asserts that
the present blockade cannot starve
Havana or any other part of Cuba into
surrender in hundred years.
When asked what was becoming Of
the Cuban population meanwhile he
shrugged his shoulders and remarked:
'"The stories of the burned fields and
desolated farms between Havana,
Sagua la Grande and Matanzas told by
American investigators were true when
written, but fortnight puts those
farms in working order when protected
by the government, and we are raising
a crop every 40 days.
1.-THE island will be captured by the
United States: the force against us
is too great, but it will be many months
yet. I am a German. Yes, I am also
a Spaniard, but l wish 1t were all over
tomorrow. Yet, it will never be ended
as the war is now being carried on.
Twenty thousand American troops
there cannot take the island. 1t Is
not like the Philippines. The people
of Cuba are armed by the government,
and they will fight You have but four
weeks now to the sick season, and
fighting for you then will be impos-
sible."
The naval authorities here are said
to be fighting vigorously against the
release of the Polaria. They say her
admission to Havana now would be
the height of folly, and 1T Is believed
that the permit which 1t was under
stood had been granted her to proceed
to Havana will, If it has actually been
issued, be cancelled on representations

SPANS NEW CABINET.
It Is Believed in Madrid That It
Will Be Shortlived.
1T Is NOT A PEACE MINISTRY.

For the Moment All Idea of Seeking
Open Negotiations For the Ternina-
tion of the War Is Abandoned-The
Old Cabinet Strengthened.
Madrid, May 19-The new Spanish
cabinet has been formed as follows:
President of the council of ministers,
Senior Praxedes Sagasta: foreign af-
fairs, Senor Leon y Castillo (succeed-
ing Senior Gullon): war, Lieutenant
General Correa; marine. Senior Aunon
(succeeding Admiral Bermejo); colo
MES, Senior Romero Giron Succeeding
senor MareD: finance, Senior Lopez
Puigcervier; interior, Senior F. r. Cap
depon; justice, Senor c. Groizard; pub
lie instruction, Senor Gamazo taking
new independent portfolo).
The cabinet met last night and re-
solved, on the proposal of Senior Ga
mazo, not to identify itself with or ac-
cept responsibility for the acts of the
last ministry No political program has
been formed by the cabinet, since cir
cumstances do not permit it. The cab
met will undoubtedly be short lived.
In this all those acquainted with Span
ish politics agree.
It is the general belief here that the
cabinet has been materially strength
ened by reconstruction. because it is
now homogeneous, and with one ex-
ception, that of Senor Moret, all the
retiring ministers are succeeded by
stronger men. The accession of Senor
Gamazo will not only add to the ad-
mnistrative efficiency of the govern
ment but will also fortify its par
liamentary position. He consented on
the condition that he should take only
the portfolio of public instruction.
which carries but limited amount
of official responsibility in great po-
litical questions. Senior Aunon was al
ready indicated by public opinion as the
ablest man for the navy. Senor Sagas.
ia had considerable trouble also to over
ride the objections to entering the cab
met raised by Senior Leon y Castillo.
For the moment all idea of seeking
open negotiations with view of termi-
mating the war Is abandoned, and 1t will
not be revived until it is recognized by
the public generally, and in military Cir
cles especially, that everything has been
done which the requirements of national
honor demand When that moment will
arrive it is impossible to foresee. All
that can be said at present is that ii
will depend on the course of naval and
military operations.
