London, March 12.-(Copyrighted, 1898,
by the Associated Press.)-A diplomat,
who probably is the recipient of more
confidence than any man in London,
has expressed himself as follows on the
Cuban question:
IF America had designed with a set
purpose the events of the past week, it
could not by any possibility have de-
veloped anything which in its impress
sive dignity would have had such an
effect upon Europe as the way in
which the executive, congress and the
people have met the crisis and risen to
the responsibility involved in dealing
with the Cuban question"
Such is undoubtedly the general feel
ing Everyone here now recognizes
that the United States does not desire
war, but is actuated by humanitarian
sentiments and will not shrink from
war if it is necessary to right the
wrongs of Cuba and exact satisfaction
from Spain.
KIPLING ON AMERICANS. ~
The Spectator is of the opinion that
the Americans will finally and reluc-
family conclude that Spain must cease
to reign in Cuba, and will take naval
and military action ere long
The Spectator concludes: Quoting
Kipling, the Americans are irresolute
and full of doubts up to the point
when they wake the drumming guns
that have no doubts
After hat there is no more irreSo
luton till the last shot is fired.
The newspapers here generally re-
gard favorably the Madrid Nacionars
proposition that the United States an
mex Cuba and assume her debt. They
think it cheaper to buy than to acquire
by war but they all recognize the i'm
probability of the Spanish government
daring to consent.
MONEY FOR WAR
The feeling in the money market is
that if war is inevitable, much gold
will probably go to New York, and
money, therefore, will become dearer.
The markets are uneasy at the danger
that a larger amount of gold may be
withdrawn from the Bank of England,
whose reserve is already low. In the
meantime Madrid is deluged with SEN
sational journalism. Canard is pied
on canard, to be denied in the next edl-
ton, and eventually abandoned In
favor OF fresh excitement. The lingo

Don Juan, the son of Don Carlos, Will
receive the Carlist deputies at Cannes,
where he is staying, and he declares he
will then proceed to Spain, declaring
himself the pretender. If this is true.
the news is very important but the
Spanish government processes to haNe

The iron trade has been considerably
stirred by an article in Statist point
ing out that the exports and home con-
sumption of iron have exceeded the
whole output of the United Kingdom
by nearly half a million tons, and pre-
dieting . pig iron famine before the
end of the year. The Statist concludes:
There is quite a large probability
that we may have to fan back uDo-
America at no distant future time to
make good our deficient supply; on

pig iron and finished materials.
WATER TUBE BOILERS.
During the course of the debate on
the naval estimates in the house of
commons, William Allan, Liberal
member for Gateshead and proprietor
of the Scottish Engine works, builder
of marine engines, made a bitter at
tack upon the new water tube boiler
in use in the British navy. He called
attention to the breakdown of the
first-class cruiser Powerful, which, he
asserted. had not travelled to China as
fast as many sail ships. Continuing,
Mr.. Allan accused the admiralty of
rapidly running the navy. adding that
they did not dare to run the ship at
full speed, and he invited the first lord
of the admiralty, George J. Goschen,
to send the first-class cruiser Terrible,
when commissioned, across the Allan
tic at full speed. i'll order to test the
Belleville boilers.
MI Goschen said il was simply an
