l NATURAL ALLIANCE
MARQUIS OF LANSDoWNE / P
HOLDS CHAMBERLAIN
Says That Union Of Interest Between
Great Britain and United States
Is Much to Be Desired

LONDON, June 22-The Marquis of
Lansdowne, secretary of state for war, ad-
dressing the Conservative unions Of London,
today, endorsed the recent Birmingham
speech of the secretary of State for the colo
MES, in which Mr.. Chamberlain expressed
the hope that the day would come when
the stars and stripes and the union jack
would wave together over an Anglo-Saxon
alliance. Lord Lansdowne said he found
nothing in Mr. Chamberlain's speech to
offend the common sense Of the patriotism
of Great Britain.
I'VE would be wanting In foresight" hE
continued, eff we failed to realize that the
time might come when our revenues would
no longer flow so freely, when the British
taxpayer would grow weary of building
more and more battleships and raising more
and more battalions, and when, whether we
liked it or not, we might have to consider
whether we could afford to stand alone"
Lord Lansdowne insisted that 1t was in
the highest degree desirable that the colo
MES should be encouraged to take a more
active share in defense of the empire. There
was nothing ridiculous in the idea Of closer
friendship with America. To his mind,
there could be no more inspiring ideal than
that such an understanding between two
nations sprung from the same race and hav-
ing so many common interests, nations
which would together predominant in the
worlds commerce and industry. Was there
anything preposterous, he asked, in the hope
that these two nations should be found, he
would not say, in hard and fast alli-
ance, of offense and defense, but closely
connected in their diplomatic relations, alb
soutely frank and unreserved in their in
ternational councils and ready wherever the
affairs of the world were threatened with
disturbance to throw their influence in the
same scale?
depend upon It," said he, In conclusion
"these are no mere idle dreams or hazy In
sprations. The change which has come
over the sentiment of each country toward
the other during the last year or two. is al
most immeasurable. One can scarcely be-
leve that this Is the same United States
with whom, only two years ago, we were
on the verge of a serious quarrel. The
change is not an ephemeral understanding
between diplomats, but genuine desire OF
the two peoples to be friends. and to foresee
it cannot be laughed out Of existence by the
sorts of comments we have lately heard"

There is absolutely no foundation for the
report published in the United States of
an attempt to assassinate Capt.-Gen. Blan-
co by member of the volunteers whose
brother, it is alleged, had been shot for
completely in a plot against the govern
ment Gen. Blanco enjoys the esteem of
all classes in Havana, including the vol
unteers, and is regarded with the utmost
confidence as the representative of Span
ish sovereignty The Cubans admit that
they are under obligations to Gen. Blanco
for the establishment of autonomy in the
island. The palace guards are from the
volunteers, and several officers of that
body are aides on the generals staff. Gen.
Blanco's appearances are frequently the
occasions of patriotic demonstrations, and
that he has no fear of assassination is
shown by the fact that he often rides out
without an escort, visiting the fortifica-
lions about Havana without bodyguard

The greatest confidence is felt that the

who are all anxious to fight against the
invaders.
Capt.-Gen. Blanco denies that he has de-
cided that there shall be no exchange Of
prisoners with the United States.

800 men have been turned back and are
waiting at Valdes for some means of get

money and will have to remain there until

prove the right of way through the Salt
River Indian reservat ton, which is the
necessary connecting link between the
two sections of the right of way asked
for outside of and on either side of said
reservation, it follows that 10 source of
water could be secured by said canal
company along its proposed route on that
portion of the canal which lies below the
reservation.
The approval by this department of a
right of way upon any given tract of
land operates as an easement upon the
land, and to that extent is an impair
ment of the use of such land, and where
no useful purpose can be subserved by a
grant of the right of way to a company
whose application upon it's face shows
an inability to secure water along the
proposed route, such approval would be
vain and useless, apparently creating an
easement upon the land without any de-
sirable object being gained.
am therefore of opinion that the COM
pany is not entitled to have it's map ap-
proved for such portion of it's route as
