is authoritatively stated that the Department OF
state has been satisfactorily convinced that
nothing 81 the kind was done, that no mer-
chandlse whatever. no contraoand or war ana
no Spanish gunners were recently landed al
Havana by the Lafayette.
The statement made as a result Of repre-
sentations from the French Embassy. The
French Ambassador has been sincerely anxious
N maintain the good feeling existing between
this country and France. and he feared state
mont. that the Lafayette had carried guns and
ammunition into Havana might in time become

ments az rejecting on the character Of the
French Government as well as on himself as
he had given assurances that contraband Of
war should be landed ny the Lafayette. The
Amhassador's views we're presented TO Secretary
Day by the secretary OF the French Embassy

The Natural Results,

IL is not surprising to learn from
Cuban dispatches that the Spauiards
have changed their opinions of the
American army, in view of recent
publications in the American press,
and are actually desirous of another
chance to meet us i'm armed conflict,
believing that they could defeat our
troops and drive them from the island
1t is not in the range of probability
that the Dons will be given the
chance, and fortunately for them, for
our army in another campaign would
create much greater havoc in the
ranks of the Spaniards than char
acterized the fighting in the Santiago
campaign.
But that doubts should have been
created in the minds of these de-
feated and Inundated troops as to the
prowess of the American army stands
to the serious discredit of American
journalism. Selfrespecting news
papers may find consolation in the
fact that only very few, and those
few but the weak, politico-sensational
journals, joined in the ill-considered
attacks upon the heads of the army,
