Satisfaction, ana the newspapers udlly
| discuss the so called "imperiar' future
! Of the United States, coupled with the
fervent hope that the United States will
adopt a colonial open door, policy. In
fact, the latter point is regarded as be-
ing the cornerstone of the Anglo-Amer-
lean understanding, which is now an
important feature of every political
speech delivered on this side of the At
lantic.
The Saturday Review is very candid
about what it describes as the slob-
boring cant and hypocr!tical blazoning
of doubtful affection" between the
United States and Great Britain and
says: Let is be frank and say out
right that we expect mutual gain in
material interests from this rapproche-
ment. The American commissioners at
Paris are making their bargain, wheth-
er they realize it or not, under the pro-
tecting naval strength OF England, and
we shall expect a material quid pro quo
for this assistance. We expect the
United States to deal generously with
Canada in the matter of tariffs, and we
expect to be remembered when the
United States comes into possession of
the Philippine islands, and, above all,
we expect her assistance on the day,
which is quickly approaching, when the
future of China comes up for settle
ment, for the young imperialist has en-
tered upon path where it will require
a strong friend. and a lasting friend
ship between the two nations can be
secured not by frothy sentimentality
on public platforms, but by reciprocal
advantages in solid. material interests"
The foregoing opinion is certainly
outspoken enough, but every American
moving in business circles here knows
this voices the expectations of the aver
age Englishman.
Aguinaldo's supporters in the Phil
ippines are very much concerned about
the proposed visit to the United States
of Filipino named Cortes as repre-
sentative of Filipino feeling. The so
called Filipino junta at Hongkong has
cabled to London disayowing Cortes
and declaring that he represents nobody
but himself. The junta adds: The
Filipino government under Aguinaldo
now consists of representatives Of all
the constituted provinces. and the
army limited only by lack of arms,
numbers over 10000 men, fully armed,

The crisis in Spain is followed with
the most keen interest. Don Carlos is
undoubtedly preparing for bold
stroke. Emssaries are endeavoring to
suborn the Spanish army, large por
ton of it being disaffected. partly on
account of the arrears of pay, but chief
ly owing to the condition that the army
was prevented from earning distinction
during the late war on account of the
incapacity and corruption of the polit-
ical administrators. These new factors
have given Don Carlos a much better
chance of success than he had when he
made his former attempts to gain the
throne of Spain. One factor. however,
influences thinking Spaniards against
the substitution of King Stork for King
Log, and that is that Don Carlos would
be bound by his own professions to re-
pudiate the treaty with the United
States, and Spain would thus be in a

would forfeit the millions proffered by

Spaniards Don't Hate Us.
According to travellers in Spain, there
) little or no feeling against Americans
mong the Spanish people generally.
An English visitor who has Just

ers:

ness or a word of abuse of Americans.
