FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

Much uneasiness is felt at Havana on
account of the latest news from Spain
and the United States. Opinion there
is more pessimistic than ever before on
the prospect of conflict. Exchange
values are going down. The people are
not at all confident as to the future ac-'
ton of the United States.
Much enthusiasm has been aroused
in Madrid by the fact that the queen
regent has headed the national sub
scription to increase the strength of
the Spanish navy by giving 1000, 1000
pesetas towards the fund.
Advices from Madrid show that the
censorship is dealing severely with tel
egrams reporting popular demonstra-
tions.
Hon. Robert NJ. McLane died at
Paris on the 10th. He was former

Washington, April IS. - Secretary
Wilson, of the agricultural department,
has authorized the publication of
bulletin on the subject of Spain's for

The facts brought out are of particular
interest at the present time. Two gen.
eral matters are treated in detail in
the publication, viz: Spanish com

ports during the years 1891 to 1895 in

of other nations to only $115, 1884, ,676.
| OF the foreign commerce of Spain dur.

transacted with four countries, viz,
France Bill per cent, the United
Kingdom 22.O5 per cent, Cuba 1926
per cent. and the United States 6.3E
per cent. The total value of the mer.
chandise annually exchanged between
Spain and Cuba, Porto Rico, the Phil.

possessions exceeded $5O,000,O00. The

Firm and Defend the Nations Honor.
Madrid, April 16.-The action taken
by the Spanish cabinet ON Thursday
has confirmed the general belief that
war is inevitable. The warlike tone
of the official note issued by the Span
ish government finds general approval
here and creates much excitement.
Contrary to the general opinion that
the queen regent has been negotiating
for peace at any price, her attitude had
much to do with the firm action of the
cabinet. The queen regent recently
made the following statement: II pre-
fer even the horrors of war rather than
tarnish on the prestige of the army
or an impairment of the rights of the
crown" Another factor undoubtedly
is Don Carlos manifesto, of which the
following is an extract:
1.-The governors of Madrid NAV make
a call to arms inevitable and immedi-
ate if they continue to permit the Span
ish standard to be dragged in the mud.

Down.

There was big, coarse-voiced fellow, with
red face, superhuity of beef about his head
and an Unsuitable desire to hear himself talk
that was nicely come up with in barber
shop the other day. He was fashily dressed
and seemed aggrieved that every man en-
ployed in the place did not rush to help him
get ready for the chair. He had assistance
in having himself brought down to the condi-
ton for being shaved, declining to handle
anything from his hat to his collar and neck
tie.
While being lathered and shaved he told
boisterously and profanely about the de-
generacy of the times. Men who had to earn
their living didn't know their places and
acted as though they were just as good as
those who hired them. The greatest mis-
take this country had ever made was when
it did away with slavery instead of extend
ing it to every state and territory in the
union.
After he had insisted upon half a dozen
additions and extra touches from the knight
of the strop the big man stepped from the
chair and produced fat pocketbook, while
still holding forth in his offensive vein.
